conclude that Nero liked to

would rather do his own sing

have others do it for him, that

Astute Observer Gives
Roosevelt Edge but Says
He Nay Be Wrong
By GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Stan CorreSpondent.

NEW YORK, Nov. Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey will run Presi-
dent Roosevelt closer race in
their home State, New York,
than did the late Wendell L.
Willkie - and Mr.. Dewey may
win. Impartial observers say
that the State may go either
way, by as close a margin as
$4,000 to 100000. One of the
most experienced and astute,
gives the edge to Mr.. Roosevelt,
although he freely admits he
may be wrong.
The President has already been in
the State, and Gov. Dewey will
climax his campaign with meeting
Saturday night in Madison Square
Garden.
The President carried the State
four years ago by 224,440 votes-not
a wide margin when it is recalled
that New York cast more than g.
100000 votes.
During the last two years the
swing in the State has been Repub-
lican. Gov. Dewey was elected, the
first Republican Governor in score
of years. Last year Gov. Dewey's
candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
Joe Hanley, to fill a vacancy, won
by 350,000, although the President
made an appeal for the Democratic
candidate and during these two
years the Republicans have built a
stronger and stronger State organi-
Zation.
Democrats are counting on huge
Roosevelt vote in New York City
to carry them through to victory,

CHUNGKING, Nov. 3.-Lungling
principal remaining Japanese bas-
ton of the Salween River front in
Southwest China, was recaptured
today by the Chinese after a blaz-
ing five-day assault, the high COM
mand announced. This removed the
last major obstacle toward a juno
ture of the Ledo and Burma roads
and reopening of a land supply
route to China.
But In South Central China the
japanese pressed hard against the
pivotal Kwangsi province city of
Kweilin. One column on the east
was only 2 miles away. A Chinese
Army spokesman predicted Kweilin
would be able to endure a long
siege.
Enemy remnants from Lungling
retreated southwest toward Mang-
shin with the Chinese in full pur-
suit, the high command said. Mang-
shih, fortress point on the Burma
road, must be reduced before the
Chinese can make effective use of
portions of the highway they have
cleared, but Lungling's recapture was
the second greatest victory of the
Salween offensive. The first was
the capture of the prime enemy base

were protecting.
