Allied Forces
Battle Mud
In Po Fighting

ROME, Oct. 5. CUP)-American
and British troops of the Fifth Army
battled through mud-filled roads
and fields in the hills before the
Pc valley Thursday, driving two
salients within ID miles of Bologna
. at the gateway to Italy's northern
plains.
A communique said the Germans
were putting up stiff resistance as
they fell back across the Apennines
before the hard driving Allied
troops, now virtually within artil-
lery range of Bologna.
American forces, moving up the
main highway from Florence, cap
tured the key feature of Monte
Venere and plunged ahead to the
outskirts of Loiana, road junction
ID miles south CT Bologna, where
they were engaged in heavy fight
ing
Other Fifth Army units were
moving at a comparable pace along
five mile front extending eastward
from the Florence Bologna high
way.
One column occupied the town of
Quirzano, two miles east of LCiana,
while another captured a strategic
ridge running just north of the
village of La Selva, IA miles south
east of Bologna.
The advances we're aided by clear
ing weather, which opened the way
for the Allied forces to bring up
artillery and armored equipment fer
the final push toward Bologna.
Despite the heavy rains, which
turned the battlefronts into vast
quagmires, the Anglo American
troops have been averaging nearly
two miles a day, but were encoun-
tering increasing German resistance
as they neared the wide open Pc
valley.

President Governor Earl Warren
of California said Wednesday night
In a speech focused primarily on
the presidential race, Warren
told a Republican campaign rally
that the team" of Governor Thorn
as e. Dewey and Governor John w
Bricker was the best that could
have been found.
1T has been wisely said that but
a single heartbeat separates the
vice-president frcm the presidency,
Warren said. 1T thus behooves us
all to make certain that we have
not just one man, but first-class
team for President and Vice-Presi-
dent.
Does anyone believe that the
Democratic party is offering any
such team to the American people?
mo, my friends, all that is re-
quired by the New Deal of its cam
didates for that position is that

is there anyone who would take

the Wehrmacht ON its home ground
When the plot against Hitler was
revealed last summer, many Rus
slams were worried. They were
afraid the Nazis would crack up be-
fore the Red Army got into Ger
many.
How do Russians like Ameri-
cans?"
They feel at home with US. They
Taught at pretty much the same
kind of jokes. They're like Ameri-
cans in their drinking habits-they
drink liquor to feel the effects
They like the way we hustle and
get things done. They admire oui
industry. Henry Fcrd is still great
name in Russia. One thing Rus
slams can't understand is why Amer
leans laugh and wisecrack about Sc
rious things. They can't under
stand American politics at all.
Are the Russians really licking
the Germans or are the Nazis max
ing a planned retreat?"
Brother, they're really licking
them. The toughest moment in a
Nazi's life comes when he makes
UP his mind to try to surrender to
a Red army man. The ordinary Red
army man feels about the Germans
the way our troops feel about the
Japanese. He'd rather shoot first
than take a chance. German Off
Ger prisoners say frankly that the
Red army is stronger and-often-
better led and better equipped.

House Members
Would Hike
Crude Oil Price

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. (UP) -
The house small business committee
called Thursday for an immediate
increase of 35 cents a barrel in the
price of crude oil and said the gov
ernment's price policy was driving
independent producers out of busi-
ness.
The committee also recommended
a revised subsidy program.
The price recommendation - a
renewal OF one made more than a
year ago by the same committee
and petroleum administrator Har-
cid L. IckeS - was submitted to eco
nomic stabilization director Fred
M. Vinson.
1t was based on hearings at Aus
tin, Texas, last month and the COM
mittee's conclusion that subsidy
program, in effect since July had
not solved what was described as
the critical plight of independent
producers.

The first question most people

Russians are going to help us

The next question frequently is

the Pacific since leaving Russia.
My answers are not personal opin-

Probe Demanded
On Teamsters'
Attack on Navy

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. (UP)-
Several congressman think some
thing official ought to be done about
the hotel scrap between two naval
men and half dozen members OF
the AF'L Transfers union although
the navy prefers to let the matter
drop.
The scrap took place on the mez-
canine of the Statler hotel the night
OF President Roosevelts September
% address to the teamsters. Thus
far the only detailed account has
been the story told by Lieutenant
Ranc olph Dickins, Jr., of Braden-
ton, Florida.
Dickins said he knocked down
angry when he and Lieutenant
Commander James H. Suddeth of
Greer, South Carolina, refused to
talk politics. The men, identifying
themselves as teamSters, demanded
to know for whom the officers in
tended to vote in November, Dick
ins said.
Rear Admiral William Chambers,
commandant of the naval medical
center at Bethesda, Maryland, where
Dickins is battle fatigue patient,
said There will be no investiga-

POULTRY SITUATION

POULTRY SITUATION
Production of eggs for August fol-
lowed the pattern of every month
tc date in 1914, a record for that
month. The California crop and
livestock reporting service esti-
mated the August production as az
per cent above the average pro-
duction for August from 1888
through 1943.
Purchase of dried eggs by the
War Food Administration wa S
stepped up during August to use
more of the available supplies. Some
price advances helped move large
Withdrawals of eggs from storage,
making stronger demand for cur
rent offerings CT eggs.
The number or puneLs not yet
of laying age on farms in Septem-
Der is estimated at 267 ,499 900, which
is 16 per cent below year ago
Largest decreases we're made in the
western states where the new crop
of pullets was 26 per cent below last
year but still II per cent above
the five-year average 1938-42.
In California, holdings of frozen
eggs and poultry on September l
were greatly in excess of last year.
Nationally, the total storage supply
of eggs in all forms was less than
last month but greater than the
average of September for the last
five years. A considerable portion
of the national cold storage stocks
arc government held.
Further reductions in poultry
members are reflected in produc-
ton of commercial hatcherieS for
August which was SO per cent less
than the record output for August
last year. The January to August
hatch of chicks in California was
45,852,0C0 for 1914 compared with
55,57l 900 last year.

Fulton Lewis Jr. Figures:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-Three
weeks of political scouting through
IS controversial states from coast
to coast, -conyinces me that this
presidential election definitely Is
not In the bag for Mr.. Roosevelt,
but rather Is a horse race which
is very likely to end In a photo
finish.
In fact, II may be so close that
the result will not be determined
until weeks after election day,
when the soldier votes are counted
in certain large swing states, no
tably Pennsylvania.
There are those who still prate
glibly that the President Is in.
He can't be beaten. Campaigns
don't make any difference. and
issues don't affect votes.
UNREASONING DOGMA
All of which Is the unreasoning
prattle OF superficial emotional
lists, who don't know what they're
talking about. It's as unreason-
ing and uniformed as the inbred
dogmas that filed Union League
clubs In 1886, that Landon was
going to win.
The facts as you find them
where the votes are, tell a differ
ent tale. When bellhops and train
porters and brakemen and walters
and bartenders say quietly that
they voted for third term, but
they think four of them are too
many, it's time TO look out.
And that's what is happening
now.
The cold, blunt fact is that the
only states that are sure Of going
to the President are the states
of the solid South.
EDGE IN CALIFORNIA
He has a definite edge in others,
such as California and Rhode
eland. but that's not enough 10
lin an election.
On the other hand, there's an
almost unbroken block OF states
between the Appalachian Noun
tains and the Rockies which are
,solidly Dewey and that block
counter-balances the Presidents
Southern advantage.
Dewey has already broken into
the so-called border states-the
states that fringe the solid South
and VIII Itch usually vote Demo
cratic. Missouri. apparently is
going Republican. Kentucky,
Oklahoma and West Virginia are
lettering in the balance. Maryland
Is upcomtortably close.
And those, remember. are states
in which the Democrats normally
expect TO coast home without any
troubles.
TIA ROOSEVELT VOTES
Getting II down TO terms of a
specific box score, spot the Presi-
dent the IL Southern states and
add California. Washington. Ari-
IONA, Nevada. New Mexico and
Rhode Island.
That gives him basic electoral
vote OF TIA.
Give Dewey the states which
appear TO be definitely safe for
the Republicans: Maine. New
Hampshire, Vermont, New Jersey
and with the exception of Hi.
nois) the solid block from Ohio
west TO Colorado and Wyoming
inclusive. and IL comes 10 169.
The states that are left In the
doubtful column add up TO a tota
OF 1873 electoral votes and therein
lies the election. They include
New York with az electoral vote:
and Illinois with %. in both oi
which states Dewey is generally
agreed to have a definite edge.

They feel that they have come
out with the short end OF every
thing, as a result Of the admins
tration's economic controls. They
see war workers getting tremen-
dously high wages, and they see
their own farm prices held down
by the OPA.
Regardless of whether they are
right or wrong, they blame the
entire situation on President
Roosevelt. and they're going to
vote against him.
An that situation is not con-
fined TO any particular state. II
sweeps across the country,
through the already Republican
Middle West, and it doesn't stop
until it gets to the Pacific Coast
states.
It's one OF the factors In the
blow-up in Missouri. 1t also is one
of the things that has Kentucky
in trouble for the Democrats, and
II is the thing that Is swinging
Ohio over IN Dewev's side.

Out of that entire roster Of

With that sort of a box score,
II makes no sense to say that the

Everything / heard on my trip
