Discusses Domestic Affairs.
Gov. Dewey also chided the ad-
ministration on domestic affairs,
saying:
"It is not enough to talk about q
more abundant life If the actions
that follow the words leave millions
unemployed and dependent upon
Government for q bare existence
It Is not enough to talk about eco
nomic security and then pursue poll
cies which promote insecurity. It Is
not enough to talk about the enter
prise system and then pursue a
course Of action that stiles enter
prise"
He drew loud applause when he
said he rejected the proposition that
Uncle Sam must play the role Of q
benevolent but slightly senile gentle
man, who seeks to purchase the good
will Of his poor relations by dis
tributing among them the dwindling
remains Of his youthful earnings"
Other speakers at the dinner,
closing session of the ANPA con-
|vention, were Eric A. Johnston,
president Of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce, and Rear
Admiral Aaron A. Merrill, soon to
become director of public relations

Fourth Economic Estate.
Mr.. Johnston said that whereas
there were formerly three primary
economic estates: Management,
labor and agriculture, nov we have
a fourth-huge, sprawling, power
hungry government"
He said that 'incursions upon the
peoples freedom and authority be-
gan long before the war" and de-
clared that "the process win not
only be continued but intensified
after the war unless the people act,
resolutely and positively" ssf
Mr.. Johnston told the publishers
machinery Of war government
must be dismantled after the war
just as the machinery OF war pro-
duction."
In the espirit Of panic. that prs-
ceded the war, he said. "the Amer
lean people grew indifferent to big
Governments steady and evermore
arrogant encroachments. But to-
day we see what it means to be
regimented by big Government.
And, more and more Of us don't
like it."

Mrs. Fred j. (Skippy) Hughes
fiery little Hi Ho yesterday treated
the spectators to plenty of action at
the Mount Calvary Church horse
show at Suitland, Md, by taking the
jumper championship over select
field with 18 points.
Thirty-five hundred fans, the big
geSt attendance of the season, also
saw the largest number of horses
compete They saw the daughter of
st. Rock take three blues and a sec
ond. She first won the warmup
from 38 quality jumpers, the largest
list in years But her triumph was
achieved only when 1t and Mrs.
Don Bradley's 5-year-old Night
Flight was withdrawn when they
were tied at feet.
Triple Bar Is Spectacular.
Hi Ho placed second in the modi-
fed Olympic to J. S. Mammele's
spirited Caddie's Trump, then came
back to the blues by taking the
spectacular triple bar in the most
sensational class of the day. Four
jumpoffs, the last reaching a spread
of 10 feet, were required before Mrs.
Robert Basset's Kristine, ridden by
the owner, second; Mrs. R. P. Rip
ley's Howdy, third, and Caddies
Trump, fourth, bowed to the su-
perior skill of Hi Ho. Then, in a
display of high speed over de-
manding course, Mrs. Hughes piloted
her champ to an impressive victory
in the handy jumper class.
Howdy, ridden expertly by the
owner, was awarded the reserve
jumper tricolor with 6 points
Howdy won the open jumper over
Thelma Fulton's Wild Day in addi-
ton to his third in the triple bar
U. S. Randle's Bootson with top
notch performances won the ladies
hunter and the hunter hacks and
picked up minor award for total
of II points to annex the hunter
title by point over c. C. Freeland's S
Camp. Camp, with the owner up,
took the blue in the open hunter
and got ribbons in the road hacks,
working hunters and ladies hunt
ers.
Ann Eisler's Limerick Lace II won
the pony tricolor from an especially
large and select entry. Under Bobby
Leutbecker's grand riding Caddie's S
Trump had the right focus on the
bars to win the modified Olympic
over stiff course.

Tommy Lusby finished rider of
13 years, rode Roger Graves Dandee
to victory in the Southern Mary
land jumpers class and placed the
same owners Mr.. Taylor third after
a half dozen jumpoffs that ended
practically in darkness.
Al Earnest, who piloted his
fathers Dickie Boy to champion
ship honors and a 6-foot victory last
Sunday, received a leg injury just
before the show and the horse
didn't seem quite the same with a
strange rider and only placed third

Wilmington War Hero
Tells Of Experiences

A Wilmington war hero, S.
Sgt. Davis Polvogt, twice shot
down in the Pacific and
thrice decorated, gave the XII
wants club yesterday a thrill
ing account of his battle ex-
periences. .......
Introduced as an airman who
had flown on more missions
than any other flier in the
Seventh Air Force, Sergeant
Polvogt told of having taken
part in the Gilbert and Marsh
all Islands campaigns and in
the conquest of Guam and Sal
pan Islands. Wounded slightly,
he was recently flown back to
his home here.
The historic turn of the for
tunes of war in the Pacific was
illustrated by the airman's
statement that when he parti-
cipated in the first army air
raid on Wake Island after its
capture by the japanese, ITO
Zeros came up to meet the II
raiding bombers, but today,
when B-24 flies over Wake,
nothing comes up; either they
haven't got it or they are afraid
to come up"

ALLIES !. DEMAND
FULL SURRENDER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-R)-
The American government, it was
emphasized today, is resolute on
unconditional surrender as the
only. terms for. Germany and it
does not intend to let Hitler and
his henchmen escape punishment
by taking refuge in some neutral
country. 'a.1
5 Secretary Of State Hull restated
this policy in effect when asked at
his news conference for comment
on the broadcast of the ace Nazi
military commentator, 1t. Gen.
Kurt Dittmar, admitting that the
defeat of Germany is drawing clos
er.
1t is evident, Hull declared, that
the Germans are DESTROYS of a ne
gotiated peace but the Allied posi-
ton for unconditional surrender is
to well known to require reitera-
ton.
AS for the possibility that Hitler
and other leading Nazis may flee
to a neutral country, Hull said this
government is keeping that con-
stantly in mind. President Roose-
welt, he recalled, appealed to the
neutrals a year ago not to furnish
sanctuary to war criminals and
the British government did like
wise.
Dittmar's broadcast was the lat
est in a series of German appeals
to the Allies to be reasonable. He
declared that the Germans must
fight "as long as our enemies are
maintaining their war aims"

F.D.R., CHURCHILL
ARRANGING FARLEY
BY The Associated Press

Signs multiplied last night that
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill are arranging
another meeting soon to discuss
the future of rapidly-weakening
Germany and plans to step up the
war against Japan.
In Washington the belief was
general that the swift Allied in
roads against the German de-
lenses in Europe have spurred
plans for the meeting. Military and
Naval men take the view, it was
learned, that while German re-
sistance can conceivably be pro-
longed, it may collapse at any
time.
This poses, not only the question
of the armistice terms to be i'm
posed on the Reich. but the broad
subject of how to bridge the gap
between the end of the war in
Europe and the proposed estap-
isnment of a world agency to keep
the peace.

Sergeant Polvgot said he was
with the first air groups to raid

from Hawaii and stopping first
at Midway. He described in
vivid detail the Marshall and
