 Supreme Headquarters, AEF, September 27. = (UP) - The British End Army swung against the northern anchor posts of the Siegfried Line on a broad front below Nijmegen today as Berlin boaSted that Nazi tanks and guns finally had wiped out the Host division" of British paratroopers at Arnhem after an epic lo-day stand on the Rhine.
 Strict military censorship at headquarters banned all news on the position of the British sky soldiers at Arn- hem, and there had been no word for almost 48 hours from the three Allied corre- spondents with the airborn division.
 The headquarters war bulletin was limited to the fighting south of the Rhine, where the British End Army turned It's armored might north- eastward against the Mouse river barrier fronting the steel and con. crete Qualifications of the Siegfried Line,
 Dispatches received from the alr- borne 'island" just before contact was lost revealed that the Germans had rushed in fanatieal Nazi Elite Guard units, masses of heavy and light artillery and Tiger tanks to wipe out the paratroopers and pres vent Q breakthrough into the soft north German plains.
 The Luftwaffe also came out or hiding for the first sustained Of. fort ln weeks, hammering the eorn- cred British division under cover Of bad weather that prevented the Allied Air forces from throwing in their full striking power,
 Meanwhile. the main weight of the British 2nd Army drive veered off to the Mouse River line south of Nijmogen, where powerful Arinored columns rolled through moderate enemy resistance to reach the river on Q five.mile front south of Box. meer i3 i.2 miles below Nijmegen,

 Washington, September 27. - (UP) - The United States and Great Britain, in 0 move sharply contrasting to the harsh future be. ing planned for Germany, today were committed to helping defeated Italy reconstruct her economy and restore her foreign trade.
 In addition, Italy was promised virtually the same status in Ameri- can and British capitals as Is now accorded France status just short of full diplomatic recognition and one that Is expected to stimu. late new French demands for com. plete recognition.
 President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill, In . post Quebec conference ct the President's Hyde Park Home, dis- cussed postwar policies in Europe which "cannot be disclosed ct this time for strategic military reasons" and issued Q 460.word statement on the future of Italy.
 It made no mention of whether Soviet Russia or France had been consulted or had approved the plans.
 The statement, Issued by the White House last night, followed disclosure that the highest Ameri. can officials are agreed on the ne. cesslty of drastically curtailing the industry of defeated Germany - Italy's onetirne ally-in order to pre-. vent new German attempt at world conquest.
 It indirectly blamed all of Italy's actions before surrender on the Fascist and Nazi overlordship' and asserted that the Italian people have in the last i2 months demor- strated "thelr will to be free and to

 Washington, Sept, 27,-(Up)--Al- lied victory in the east is certain, but military leaders believe it will take "an absolute minimum" of Ia years after defeat of Ger many to wiring unconditional sur render from Japan. the once of War Information reported today,
 The odds all favor the Allies, the OWI said In survey based on data from the War, Navy and State Departments, but overall military plans, including those concerned with war production are based on tho assumption that 1t may take years, rather than months, to dc. feat Japan"
 "0ne and q half to two years after the defeat of Germany" the OWI said, ''is considered an absolute minimum"
 Japanese warlords themselves are confident they can drag out the conflict so long that the soft demosraeies will be forced into Q Stalemate,' the report said, and in any event there are obvious fNc- tors "favoring the Japanese and pointing toward the prolongation of the war"
 Not the least of these factors are Q still powerful Japanese fleet of 10 to i3 battleshipS and 10 to i2 large aircraft carriers, c constantly improving air force, and on Army of 4,000,000 men with $500, 900 more men of military age available for service.
 And the psychological effect of dermany's collapse, the OWI said, might favor Japan instead of tho Allies. Victory In Europe might induce Q letdown in effoft and morale" In this country while "it might we'll heighten Japans dc. termination and fighting spirit"

 Aboard Dewey Campaign Train, Sept. '. (Up)-dov. Thomas E Dewey today put followers of Com. munist Earl Browder and CIO poli- tical Leader Sidney Hillman at the head of his purge list if he is elected President in November.
 Speeding eastward toward Albany, ~, Y., on the last log of Q 6,700- mile coast -to.coAst campaign tour, the Republican Presidential nomi- nee promised over and over to crowds which gathered around the rear platform of his special train that he would rid the national ad. minlstratlon of those persons net January 20 if his White House bid 6 successful,
 The purge list which also in- nluded Secretary of Interior Harold L, fckes, Secretary of Francis Per- kins and White House Adviser Harry Hopkins, ranked high in the personal program the New York Governor expounded for audience across Oklahoma and Missouri
 Tn addition, he promised
 1. To unify the nation for the war and in the creation of Q lasting peace.
 2. To rewrite, with the aid of Q sympathetic Congress, the New Deal laws so that lawyers at least ban understand them"
 3. To eliminate 'repressive" tax laws which he charged retarded development of job-producing bust. bess.

Must Boost Imports,
Foreign Indictments

A 10 billion dollar trade budget
calling for increased imports and in
creased foreign investments. That
sounds pretty unorthodox to start
with. There would be tariff reduc-
lions to increase the imports on the
theory that only thus will foreign
countries be able to get the money
to buy our goods.
There would be steps taken to
make foreign capital investments
secure in order to build them up.
There would be an international
bank for reconstruction and de-
velopment; there would be longtime
foreign trade agreements coordi.
mated with longtime investment
programs.
Now, in order to understand why
such an unorthodox program finds
such ready acceptance In hard-bit-
ten world fed up with utopian plan.
ming, let me take you back to the
genesis OF the organization from
which this plan emerged.

Washington. d. c.
"Sixty million jobs"
That phrase has been batted
about hopefully, contemptuously.
with the raised eyebrow Of cynical
doubt, with the set jaw Of desperate
determination.
People may believe 1t Is an ideal
dream or feel that 1t is quite prac-
ticable but the majority OF experts
will tell you unless it is achieved we
face the old cycle: imitation, depres-
sion, war and pestilence.
But the phrase go million Jobs"
has acquired a new meaning in the
last few weeks Why? Because of a
plan that has been presented to
achieve this goal. The men who have
worked it out, and the things that
have brought them together and
welded their ideas into an effective
implement, have caused some of the
hard-headed experts, who are aecus-
toned to weigh such ideas on the
scales of experience and either toss
them into the scrap heap or hold
them up as worthy of use, to call
this plan good.
The plan is contained in little
red-bound booklet issued as PAM
phlets Nos. 1888 of the National
Planning association and called
Americas New Opportunities in
World Trade" And let me hasten
to say right here that this organiza-
tion is not to be confused with an
other New Deal group of similar
name which congress in its wis.
dom, or otherwise, has weighed in
the balance and found wanting.
The National Planning association
about which | am writing is non.
governmental, non-partisan associ.
alton Of businessmen and scholars,
labor leaders, farmers, bankers and
facturers, all, insofar as this
task Is concerned, at once selfless
workers in the vineyard of the pub
lie good. and husbandmen who
realize their neighbours prosperity is
likewise their own.
There are three reasons why the
plan for creating jobs, worked out
by this organization, has made an
impression on Washington and else
where:
First, 1t has been examined and
praised by certain media Of public
thought which can hardly be de.
scribed as champions Of the imprac.
tical the utopian or the unAmerican
the New York Times, the New
York Herald Tribune, ard Business
Week, to mention only three.
Second, because OF the men who
authored or sponsored tall lead
ers In their respective fields Of
American enterprise.
Third, because Of the way the
organization which brought these
men together came into being
Now let me give you the gist Of
the plan. ...
