Anti-Nazi Ferment Long Been at
Work in That Proud Nation

We at least know that the secre.
tary's message won't fall on deaf
ears in Austria, for anti-Nazi fer
ment long has been at work in
this proud country which for ten
centuries had existed as a separate
state until Hitler enslaved il In
1893. There are many Austrians
who are eager to revolt The ques-
ton is whether their organization
is prepared 10 strike.
To put II more bluntly, IL prob

crude people refer to as CUTS.

Secretary Of State Hull scarcely
could have chosen a better moment
for his warning to the Austrian
people that the time is almost up
for them to revolt against Ger
many in order TO help secure their
own independence.
Austria isn't likely 10 get another
chance so favorable as now. Hit
ler's defenses are cracking fast
as witness the crossing OF the Lux
embourg-German frontier by Amer
lean First Army troops and the
entrance OF East Prussia by Red
Army patrols. The Allies finally
have their feet on the Fuehrer's
sacred soil.
Moreover. this is indeed the
eleventh hour for Austrian action.
Mr.. Hull pointed out that while the
Moscow conference OF American.

tiers last fall promised the little
country her independence, il also
was agreed that account would be
taken OF the contribution which
her people made TO their own lib.

AP-After mulling over num-
Der Of resolutions today, delegates
to the United Automobile Workers
(CIO) ninth annual convention
looked forward TO tonight's address
by Secretary of the Interior Harold

In a keynote address yesterday
Union President r. J. Thomas de-
clared that servicemen he talked to
during his recent trip overseas
heartily agreed with him when he
said he favored uninterrupted pro-
duction in wartime. but his audi
ence was less unanimous. A loud
volley Of booes from some local
leaders who favor abandonment Of
the no-strike pledge contrasted
sharply with cheers.
Turning to politics. Thomas re.
ferred to Gov Thomas f. Dewey as
"the candidate to big business and
the mouthpiece OF Herbert Hooy-

affairs, said only a few years ago

Rebellion in Austria might easily
precipitate an upAesval throughout
the Reich. There's disaffection in
Germany as witness the recent at.

one OF the dictator's greatest inter.
nal dangers as see IL, lies in
a mighty power which many folk
overlook.
That's the army OF some 1900

Dewey Sticks to
Offensive Tactics

En- Route With Dewey, Sept. IL
-AP-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
stuck strictly to the offense in his
war on the New Deal today as his
campaign train clipped off the
miles toward Valentine, Nebr., and
nearby ranch discussions with cat
tlemen and political leaders.
The Republican presidential nom.
inee, who had scheduled a news
conference Immediately after his
arrival, has indicated he will con.
tinue what now appears to be a
fixed strategy of criticizing the Ad-
ministration and avoid answering
directly the counter-attacks aimed
at him.
In two speeches and almost daily
meetings with reporters, Dewey
has banged away at the theme
that the Roosevelt Administration
has failed on the domestic front
and is incompetent to handle the
changeover from war to peacetime
pursuits when hostilities cease.
On the other hand, the nominee
gave an example of facility in avoid
ing collisions with those who at
tack his views when he cut short,
at news conference in Des Moines
yesterday, a question concerning

Clio Political Action Committee.
