 Use Alaska For Slogan

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The Demo- crat's new battle cry: As Alaska Goes So Goes the Nation,' is the party slogane as presented by Demo- cratic National Chairman Robert Hannegan. He said he had received night letter from Howard Lyng, Democratic National Committeeman for Alaska, stating:
 Results of the Alaska general election on September 12 shows an overwhelming Democratic victory We have elected Alaska's Delegate to Congress, Attorney General, Aud itor and Highway Engineer and 34 of the 40 members of our Terri torial Legislature. The only regret is that we have no Presidential vote"

HUNGARY IN
 (HA0SAFTER
 PEACE OFFER
Armistiee Petition Great Blow to Nazi Hopes
 of Victory

LONDON. Oct. l6.-Hungary has toppled in political chaos after the recent dramatic bid for peace by Nicholas Horthys, with Horthys' quick eclipse, at least on the Buda- pest radio, by Count Ferencz Szal- asys. The Hungarians are fighting among themselves instead of against the invading Red Army. Reports from Stockholm said that in some places they are fighting the Ger mans, too.
 This all added up to the melting of the barrier between the Red Army and the great drive past Budapest to Vienna and possible final de- cision in the east.
 The Germans took quick measures to stave off the debaucle, but ad- mitted through the official German news agency that Horthys' petition for an armistice had greatly dam aged the waging of the war
 Wade Werner, correspondent of the Associated Press, said Nazi troops swiftly took over all stra- tegic buildings in Budapest. The new government will shortly try to get Hungarian troops to con- tinue the battle on the German side"
 One report said Admiral Nicholas Horthy escaped arrest by holding out in a fortified castle. A Trans ocean broadcast from Germany said a detailed declaration" of Hungarian developments would be forthcoming later and that Hitler and his advisers should pause for some fast thinking before explain ing the Hungarian collapse to the war-weary German people.
 This is only natural because It is the defection of Hitler's last satellite. It must seem to any Ger man like the crashing of the gate guarding the Reich's most vulner- able area.

MacArthur's Command Sends 150 Planes in

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NEW GUINEA, Oct. 16-General Douglas MacArthur unleashed at least 150 planes-possibly far more than that-at Japanese air and naval bastions in the South Philip pines while Navy airpower was striking at Formosa on Friday, headquarters announced today.
 It was disclosed that the mass attack swept over the islands of Ceram and Boeroe, which the Jap anese are using for aerial outposts for protection of the Philippines and the homeland, leaving three airfields smoking and cratered. Eighty tons of bombs struck the targets. Balikpapan, the enemy's aviation gasoline and oil center in Borneo, was again struck. Large fires were started nearby and an airfield and hangar damaged.

R0MMEL E NOW
 REPORTED DEAD
 BY GERMAN RADIO

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Doubt over the fate of Field Marshal Erwin Rom mel, famed Commander of the Afrika Corps and one of the ablest leaders of the German Army, were dispelled yesterday when the Berlin radio announced he died of wounds.
 Rumors of Rommel's death have been current since late July when Allied field dispatches quoted Ger man prisoners as saying he suc- cumbed to injuries suffered when his car was strafed by Allied planes in Normandy.
 The Germans subsequently, denied his death but acknowledged he suffered a brain concussion and other injuries in an automobile accident during the strafirg attack on July IT. The Berlin broadcast didn't say how Rommel was wound- ed or when he died but said Hitler ordered a state funeral.

Broadeasts from Tokyo Tell of BdtiIe-No Allied
 Confirmation
(By Associated Press)

The Tokyo radio reports Japa- nese naval and air forces are driy- ing home attacks on American car rier forces off Formosa and the Philippines and have knocked out scores of U. s. ships and set back the impending invasion of the Philippines by at least two months.
 The claims of victory are re- ported in jubilant Jap broadcasts that varied from 40 to 52 U. S. war vessels sunk or damaged.
 The Imperial communiques listed 40 vessels, including Il aircraft carriers, sunk or damaged.
 All broadcasts, including a re- port that the long elusive Nip ponese fleet has at last come out of hiding and is pursuing the U. 5. task force, fleeing from the For mosa area, are not confirmed by Allied sources.
 A communique recorded by the EGG reports that Jap pianeS nave intercepted and "carried out re- peated fierce attacks in the waters east of the Philippines"
 The broadcast also said that even rescue craft sent to aid ships sent down, have also fled
 Early Tokyo broadcasts asserted one aircraft carrier had been sunk and three damaged, one cruiser sunk or damaged, and 30 Ameri- can planes shot down. Then it was claimed 16 U s. warships were sunk and l9 damaged.
 Formosa propaganda broadcasts asserted 52 ships had been sunk or damaged.

Two Strikes Made Within 4S Hours on Two Targets

WASHINGTON Oct. 16.-Super- fortresses attacked Formosa Sunday for the second time in 48 hours, striking installation sat Okayama and Heito. <
 The second mission was accom- plished without loss of aircraft, the Twentieth Air Force Command said.
 Of four Superforts, previously un- reported on the October IA mission, the Air Force said two are safe, 10 of II members of the crew are safe, and the third plane crash landed at forward base. This leaves only one Superfort lost on the two mis- sions.
 On both missions the Supers car- ried the heaviest bomb loads so far employed by the big planes.
 The communique said weather over the target areas was good Very good bombing results were ob- served by participating crews on the same targets on Saturday.
 Okayama and Heito are important Jap airfield and supply bases.
 Reconnaissance photographs show 37 buildings were destroyed and 16 others heavily damaged at Okayama, two-thirds of the area.
 Heito is IT miles north of Okayama on the southwestern coast of For mosa and both are in the area Of Takao, southern end of Formosa.

NATIONAL WAR
 FUND CAMPAIGN
 MAKES PROGRESS

Entering it's second week In Ju- neau, the drive for the National War Fund appears to be making .excellent progress, according to Jack Fletcher, local chairman. This community's share has been set at minimum of $10,500 in the na- tion wide campaign to raise the funds necessary for years sup port of the USO, the War Prison CTS Aid, the United States Sea- mans Service, and the Allied War Relief
 As in almost all other American communities, there will be a house. 1 toulouse canvass in Juneau. The large citizens committee in charge of the drive has expressed the be- lief that almost everyone in the whole town will wish to make a contribution to it. Each person is to be given that opportunity
 "USO is only one of the many agencies receiving their support from the National War Fund" said Zach Gordon, director of the local club. today. By means of the funds raised in this single drive, many varied services of the finest hu- manitarian character and of world wide scope are being made possible The good which will be accom- plished through it is literally in- calcuable.
 Each donor, large or small, to the fund, for example, is having a hand in the sending to our fighting men overseas of Bob Hope, Ingrid Bergmann, and hundreds of other entertainers going out under USO- Camp Shows auspices. Can anyone imagine any other way to boose morale as effective as this? With out the fund there would be no such entertainment.
 But, getting down to accom- pliShmentS of the fund closer to home: The Juneau USO is only one among more than 5000 similar clubs and other centers absolutely dependent upon the fund for their maintenance. Our local club has been in operation less than two years. Yet in that time we esti- mate that it has played host to something more than 10000 service men who have been stationed here or have visited the clubhouse while enroute to the north or south. I believe that nobody, however gifted with imagination, can do more than make a most inadequate estimate as to what Juneau's USO has meant to these men in terms of friendliness and good fellowship.
 All of us who are connected with the USO say gratefully Thank God for the National War Fund which makes this service possible'!"

ROME, Oct. 16-American troops today captured the hill town of Livergnano, 10 miles south of Bo- logna, which the Germans have defended for days.
