MADISON, Wis, Sept. 90
Wisconsin is one of those States
which give encouragement to the
idea that even should President
Roosevelt win a fourth term, the
Republicans may have a ma
jority in the next House.
For, like some of the other States,
including Michigan. Wisconsin has
"a separate presidential ballot and a
separate ballot for State and con-
gressional candidates. This makes
it easy to vote Republican in a con-
gressional election. even if the voter
prefers President Roosevelt to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey.
AS of today there is strong Re-
publican trend in the Badger State.
It was evidenced in the August Is
primary elections when 10 per cent
rof the total vote cast was Republican.
True, the vote in the primary was
very light as compared to what may
be expected in November. Neverthe-
less, it was not reasonable to sup
pose that only Progressives and
Democrats remained away from the
polls in August.

Although members of the Wash
ington Telephone Traffic Union were

attorney for the union. the wage
dispute was certified to the War

The American and British dele.
gates were scheduled to meet Chi

Agree "in Large Measure"
Conversations between the United
States, United Kingdom and Soviet
Union delegations in Washington re-
garding the establishment of a world
security organization have now been
completed
These conversations have been
useful ana have led to large meas
ure of agreement cp recommended
tions for the general framework of
the organization, and in particular
for the machinery required to main-
tain peace and security.
The three delegations are making
reports to their respective govern
ments, who will consider these re-
ports and will in due course issue
simultaneous statement on the
subject
1t appears possible that fur
ther big power talks among top
ranking officials will precede a full
scale United Nations meeting to or
ganize the world.
In his closing speech yesterday,
made public today by the State De-
partment, Mr.. Stettinius said:
Vital Principles Laid Down.
/ "We have every reason for sat-
isfaction with what has been ac-
complished. We have developed in
the brief period of six weeks a wide
area of agreement on the funda-
mental and necessary principles for
an international organization to
maintain peace and security. These
principles will be of vital i'm
portance in guiding our governments
at every step that must yet be
taken to bring into existence the
organization which we have here
envisaged."
Mr.. Gromyko said "the conversa-
tions have undoubtedly been use
full" and expressed appreciation OF
the friendly atmosphere" of the con.

Army have captured Mount Bat
taglia, II miles from Imola, i'm
portant Po Valley city on the
Bologna-Rimini highway. Allied
headquarters announced today.
The doughboys also seized three
heights commanding the direct route
north to Bologna.
In the Adriatic sector, British 9th
Army forces made gains in the
southeastern edges of the Pc Valley.
The enemy has dug in along strong
defense lines that parallel the
Fiumcino River, the first major wa
ter barrier encountered since the
breakthrough into level country,
and Is fighting savagely.
The adverse weather which pre-
cluded air support slowed the Amer
ican attacks toward Bologna, but
the doughboys knocked the Germans
off additional heights on both sides
of Highway IS. all roughly 20 miles
south of the historic city.
Observation Points Taken.
The gains gave the Americans OBJ
servation over the road for many
miles to the north.
Allied headquarters gave no spe-
cific information on gains on the
west flank of the 5th Army. where
the Brazilians and some American
units have been keeping steady
pace, but said important advances
have been made" and the entire
Gothic zone has now been pene-
trated with the exception of a small
area of the west coast"
A front line report said that on
some sectors of the western flank
elements of the 5th were having diff
ficulty maintaining contact with the
enemy because of demolitions and
mine fields.
1ncessant heavy German counter
attacks marked the 9Th Army's mar
row penetration into the Po Valley.
New Zealand troops fighting with
the Canadians met strong resist
ance along line 1000 yards east
OF the Fiumcino River from the
coastal town of Gatteo southwest to
Savignano, where a fierce battle
ragged. The advance to Gatteo rep
resented two-mile gain from Bel
laria.
Canadians Take Village.
The Canadians hammered the
enemy out of the village of San
Mauro di Romagna, eight miles
northwest of Rimini and a little
over a mile east of the Fiumcino
River. Leading elements established
small bridgehead across the
stream.
Nazi armor and infantry drove 9th
Army troops from a 1000 foot ridge
southwest of Savignamo. Equally
fierce fighting came when the
British withstood two sharp counter
attacks northwest of the village of
Canomica, miles west of Rimini.
The British reached Tribola, 2 miles
southwest of Ganomica, but were
driven back by strong enemy oppo-
sition.
The 9Th Army reported 5000
prisoners captured in the current
offensive in the Adriatic sector, in
addition to the seizure of 70 armored

Mr.. Roosevelt said the pending

that his talk with the committee.

larger policies of labor The meeting
was called, he said, because he hasn't

pared to recommend to him relaxa-

this with alarm as a possible sub
stitute for their goal of a general

No Indication of Attitude.
There has been no indication of
the Presidents attitude toward the
current effort of labor groups to
break the Little Steel ceiling,
which has resulted in hearings be-
fore the War Labor Board. The
board expects to make recommenda-
tions to the White House next
month.
Relaxation of controls. as cham
pioned by WLB Chairman William
H. Davis, would mean that wage in
creases agreed to by employers
would not need approval of the War
Labor Board A measure of collec-
tive bargaining thereby would be
restored, but labor would be expect
ed to continue to withhold the strike
weapon until the defeat of Japan.
The theory is that with a rela-
lively ample supply of labor after
war production cutbacks are or
dered. employer pressure on wage
ceilings will be eased and stabiliza-
ton can be achieved without con-
tinuing the present restrictions on
increases. The bulk of
WLB work now is the increases
sought or agreed to by employers.
