Western congressman a Ire dv

Reds Predict FDR Victory
BY M. S. HANDLER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Moscow, Nov.-(UP)-The Soviet government organ Izvestia said yes- terday that rumors allegedly were circulating in United States press circles" that the Republicans might be planning to announce faked attempt on the life of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and attribute it to the Communists in a last minute effort to win the election.
 Izvestia said the Reichstag fire, by means of which the Nazis set up a ''red scare" as an excuse for taking over the government in Germany set up precedent for such ma- l1euver.
 The newspaper said President Roosevelt's reelection was certain" and denounced Dewey and his sup porters as 'reactionaries" and de- teatists.
 Evidently Dewey's chances were weak, and that is why he decided to use the old method Of threat of Communist danger" 1zvestia said. Having addressed itself to the most reactionary elements, the Republican party and Dewey press opened campaign against com- munism and against all those who are not going to vote for Dewey as Communists.
 Speculation regarding commun- lst danger as matter of fact in- cludod helpless attempt by the Republicans to cover their political nake6ness with a scarecrow's rags in the absence of an affirmative pol tcy which could attract voters.

Crucial Yeor For Allies

London, Nov. 6UP)-Premier Josef Stalin, broadcaEting from Mos COW today on the eve of the Bol- shevik revolution anniversary, said this year was the decisive one for the Russian and Allied armies.
 'The Germans were compelled to wage war on two fronts, and were thrown back to Germany" Stalin said.
 He spoke after concert of songs and marches introducing the cele- bration of the 27th anniversary of the October revolution, which by virtue of change in the calendar system falls on Nov. 2.
 The first mention of Stalin's name, when he was proposed as a member of the honorary presidium, touched off a roaring outburst of cheers and applause.
 Stalin said 120 German divisions were put out of action this year, and only 204 divisions were left on the eastern front, of which about 130 are German.
 Stalin reviewed the Red Army's last year of campaigning which rocked the Germans back into East Prussia, Czechoslovakia and Hun gary.
 The Germans, he said, proved more powerful and cunning adver- saries than in previous wars" be- cause they were able to use the re- sources of most of Europe.

Mahaney Says Hall
 Can't Take A Joke
Republican Town Chairman Accuses Democratic Rep-
 resentative of "TerrOrizing City Voters"

Mahaney issued the following state ment in which he accused MT. Hall of encouraging the Republican campaign of fear about which the President spoke" Saturday night.
 "It is too bad that Vernon Hall can't take a joke.
 He charged me, this morning, with attempting to influence the manner in which people cast their ballots. Naturally, I want to see everyone vote the Democratic ticket but MT Halls claim that would interfere with the privacy of the voting booth, is ridiculous.
 If MT. Hall or his informant had attended the rally in question he would have known that my remarks were part of humorous speech and were so taken by the people who were present.
 In the course of my remarks I stated that Representative Mem primo had sat in "Murderer's Row" in the house of representatives. I hope that MT. Hall would not charge that the Democratic party had peo- pied our general assembly with men convicted of homicide.
 I also told the people that I would "mow 'em down" Wednesday if they did not vote for the right ticket. It is a wonder that Mfr. Hall did not make the claim that I would have a machine gun set up on the Green Wednesday morning to liquidate everyone who voted the Republican ticket.
 This is just another step in the Republican campaign of fear about which the President spoke. I know that the people of Waterbury will understand that MT. Halls state ment is frantic last-minute effort to stampede our people into voting for Republican candidates on an emotional basis. I am sure that the people will take my remarks in the spirit of fun in which they were delivered.
 Regardless of how they vote, I hope that each qualified elector will avail himself of his great democratic privilege by casting his ballot on Tuesday,"
