The situation is critical" Cole

Washingtonians were not willing to
back up the Navy with dollars.
There are only two more report

said, during which solicitors must
raise about the same amount OF
money reported in four previous
meetings.
Mr.. Willett emphasized that par

"for every 10 boxes of athletic equip

camps we could send only nine; for
every 10 nurses needed to take
health and encouragement into
stricken homes in Washington, only
nine will go on their rounds; fol
every 10 meals we should give refu-

one"
Solicitors should stress what
failure would mean to servicemen

added.

BULLETIN.

NEW YORK. John B.
Hughes, broadcasting for CHS
from Gen. MacArthur's head
quarters in the Philippines,
reported today that the island
of Samar was now completely
in American hands.
By the Associated Press.
GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Philippines, Oct.
28.-The crushing power OF Gen.
MacArthur'S invasion armies,
released as Japan's shattered
fleet fed the Philippines, rap
idly engulfed Samar Island to-
day, within 275 miles of Manila,
aided brilliantly by Filipino
guerrillas.
On Leyte, where land-based
fighter planes drew cheers from
elated soldiers as they began operat-
ing from captured airfields, great
segments of the island fell to the
onrushing Yanks.
BY the hour Japanese dead and
wounded were added to the more
than $4,000 casualties already in
flicted. Most of the dead were men
of Japan's defeated and demoralized
18th Division, which perpetrated the
tortures on Bataan.
Virtually all Samar's more than
1900 square miles, which extend to
within Is miles of priced Luzon,
were under American and Filipino
domination. The capital city.
Catbalogan, was captured by men
of Maj. Gen. Franklin C. Sibert' S
10th Corps.
1t was the second island capital
invested in the Philippines, the
other being Leyte's Tacloban, now
provisional capital for President
Osmega's Philippines government.
Twelve more towns and villages
were liberated on Leyte. At least
SIS now are freed.
Disaster from many directions
confronted the selfsame japanese
who brutally compelled the haggard
Filipino no-American garrison which
surrendered on Bataan to march
for days, killing the men who
faltered.
Some Japanese are bottled up in
Leyte Valley with Yanks moving
on them from north and south.
They had two choices: Flee into the
hills-or stand and die.

Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell has
been relieved of his triple COM
mand in the Far East and has
been recalled to Washington, the
White House announced today.
A few minutes after the an
nouncement, the War Department
said Gen. Stilwell will be given "a
new and important, but at present
undisclosed assignment"
Amid the complete official silence,
there was immediate speculation
that Gen. Stilwell's ultimate job will
be leadership of the army which
will invade China and
drive the japanese out.
The White House announcement
said Gen. Stilwell has been relieved
as chief of staff to Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek, as deputy to Ad-
miral Mountbatten, commander of
the Southeast Asia command, and
as United States commander of the
China Burma India theater and has
been recalled to Washington.
The former China Burma India
theater will be divided into two
theaters under separate command
ers, said the announcement which
gave no reason for Gen. StilWell's
recall.

Allies Take Greek Isle
Northwest Of Rhodes
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Oct. 28.-Allied troops
landed from the British cruiser
Sirius and occupied the island of
Piscopi, northwest of Rhodes, dur
ing the night of October 26, Allied
headquarters announced today.
Meanwhile, in Athens it was an
nounced that British forces cooper
ating with Greek Andartes had es-
tablished contact with retiring Ger
man forces in the area of Kozane
so miles northwest of Larisa and 40
miles below the Yugoslav frontier
This was the first British contact
with the Nazis in the Greek theater
since the enemy withdrawal began.
Piscopi (Tilos) is small noun
famous island of the Dodecanese
group formerly held by Italy and
now claimed by Greece. 1t is less
than Is miles from Rhodes.
The communique also said the
island of Melos CKilo), one of the
Cyclades group, was bombarded by
four British warships Thursday.
There was no report of resistance
to the landing at Piscopi, the COM
munique said.
Historic Melos, southwesternmost
island of the Cyclades, is 70 miles
east OF the Peloponnesus and ap-
proximately the same distance north
OF Crete. 1t has an area of 60 square
miles and is the site of an airheld,
near Trapani. It was on Melos that
the famed Venus de Milo was dis
covered in 1920 and taken to the
Louvre.
Yesterday an Allied air force an
nouncement said the Germans have
practically no prospect OF saving
forces totaling $4,000 men in Crete,
Rhodes and the remaining Nazi-held
Aegean Islands because they lack
aircraft and their air evacuation
lines are under constant Allied OBJ
servation.

Scarcity Theory
Address
Declares New Dealers
Offer. Only q Return
To Peocetime Policy
(DeDey Tert on Page AL
BY ]. A. O'LEARY,
Star Staff Correspondenk

SYRACUSE, Oct. %. -. Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey today told
the farmers of the Nation there
is no need to go back to the
scarcity theories" of the pre-
war years of the New Deal.
In speech prepared for delivery
from the Central High School Audi
torium here to Nation wide radio
audience, the Republican nominee
drew direct connection between
the welfare of the farmer and the
city dweller, asserting that after the
New Deal had been in Office for
eight prewar years it still had failed
ito achieve anything like fair prices
for farm products" One of the
main reasons for that failure was
that there were still 10000 900
Americans unemployed, he said
Now, my opponent seeks a vote
Of confidence on that record" Gov.
Dewey continued. He asks for 18
straight years in the White House.
And what does he offer for the flu
ture? Nothing different from or
better than the program which
failed. 1t took war to get decent
farm prices. just as it took war
to get jobs"
Halls Farmers for Extra Work.
Gov. Dewey selected for his farm
speech the time usually allotted to
the Farm and Home Hour, radio
feature that attracts a large mid
day audience.
He started by praising the families
of the rural areas for doing the
extra work required to produce the
wartime food requirements, while
millions of farm boys have been on
the fighting fronts. After picturing
the end of the war, Gov. Dewey
asked:
What will peace mean to our
farmers? Will it mean just con-
tinued efforts to control their lives
from Washington? Will it mean
the same collapse of prices which
occurred under a Democratic ad-
ministration after the last war?
Will it mean a return to the SUBJ
standard prices our farmers were
still receiving after eight peacetime
years Of the New Deal in 1910? 1t

must not mean these things. We
can and must do better if we are to
have free and progressive Amer
lea"
Most political analysts believe
Gov. Dewey will get the bulk Of
the rural vote. That would appear
borne out by the fact that until
today he has addressed his speeches
mainly to other voting groups.
Gov. Dewey said the Soil Con-
servation Service has done a good
job in some parts of the country"
but declared this program will fail
if it is used as an excuse for regi-
mentation and wasteful bureauc-
racy."
Cites Case of a Farmer.
To illustrate his point the Re-
publican nominee told of farmer
near Syracuse who signed up with
the soil conservation program.
within period of four months" :"
he said, IA different Government
agents travelled to this one little
farm of As acres to tell how his
job should be done. Several came
many times. When he got all
through the farmer paid for the
actual work and he also paid in
taxes for the 13 unnecessary Gov
ernment agents"
AS in the case of his labor
speeches the Republican nominee
ridiculed the number of different
Government agencies a farmer must
go to for truck permits, rubber boots,
fertilizer and other licenses.

time" WFA issued a formal an
nouncement that turkey supplies for
civilian Thanksgiving dinners are
expected to be short of demand even
though the turkey crop this year is
expected to be the biggest on record.
The WA announcement explained
that while turkeys for Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Year dinners
already have been shipped to service
personnel in the more remote war
theaters, all holiday turkey require
ments for the armed forces have not
yet been met.

The freeze order on the sale of
turkeys to civilians, it was pointed
out, was rescinded last year on Octo-
ber 25, but military requirements
are considerably larger this year
and many processing plants are suf-
fering from a manpower shortage.
VIA held out the hope. however,
that civilian supplies for Christmas
and New Year Day probably will
be considerably larger"
One of the leading poultry whole
salers here said the order would
have to be set aside by November /
to give the trade time to build up
stocks for the holiday. Some tur-
keys might be available from near
by areas. he said, but they will fill
only small percentage Of the de-
mand.
