eastward to meet Chinese troops now moving down the old Burma road from the Salween.
 Prediction
 The push also may continue far ther southward to connect up with British troops cleaning the Japanese out of the Central Indo-B Burma mountains. Military observers in h. dia believe that such development is in the cards for this dry season and predict that an Allied army will be operating on the Central Burma Plains before the Monsoon rains slow military operations next May.
 Connected with the operations along the Irriwaddy river are the activities of the Chinese Salween forces, who, with Stilwells American advisors, weapons and ammunition are forcing a slow way Southward along the old Burma road.
 The combination of the Salween Chinese. the nglo-American-Chi- nese south of Myitkyina, and the British in the Imphal area has al- ready spread the Japanese fcrces thinly over a perimeter more than 800 miles long.

bridgehead on the north bank southeast of Zevenbergen, only three and half miles below the German held 14-span bridge across the Hol- land Deep at Moerdijk.
 Polish troops on the American east flank fought up the highway from Breda 8 few hours later and slashed across the Mark canal-an extension of the river-and seized another bridgehead six miles south- east of Moerdijk.
 With British forces already at the Maas northwest of Tilburg, of- ficial reports from 21st Army group headquarters said all but rear guards of an original force of co., 900 to 10000 German troops south of the MaaS ana Holland deep had escaped to the north bank.
 Reported Landing
 The reported Allied landing. on the south coast of Walcheren was expected to bring quick liberation to the whole island, already four fifths under watre as result of the RATS preaching of its dikes and German demolitions.
 The German garrison was believed to total only 4,000 and large por- tion was concentrated against Can- adian forces carrying out frontal assault across the exposed caC1Seway

might be the opening phase of a land -based air assault on Tokyo. Even if the bombers dropped no explosives on the enemy capital, they may have been engaged on for later strikes.
 "Thrill'
 Japanese stations said metropoI- tan Tokyo had the thrill" of wit messing Japanese fighters in a catch chase" against the enemy planes, but there was no repetition of the panicky radio Tokyo account that accompanied Doolittle's mission with twin engined Mitchell bombers from the carrier Hornet April 8, 942.
 Never before have enemy land- based bombers flown over Tokyo, though the city of 100000 has lain under threat of bombardment ever since the formation of the 2Oth Bomber Command of Superfortresses last June with the main objective attacking Tokyo and other targets on the far eastern islands.
 The Superfortresses already have made 10 raids on Japanese factories, airhelds and other objectives in Kyushu, one of the home islands southwest of Tokyo. Formosa, Kerea, Manchuria and China from bases in China.

 out substantial changes in positions, dispatches reported.
 A Tass dispatch reported fierce fighting north of Warsaw between the Bug and the Vistula, but details were lacking on Marshal Konstantin K. RokoSsovsky's renewed campaign in that area.
 Izvestia and Red Star editorials referring to the 27th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolutions on Nov. T said all Soviet territory had been cleared of the Germans. The asser- tion implied that the entire Baltic coast, as well as the northwestern corner of White Russia, was in Sov- jet hands, although the last pulp lished reports indicated the Ger mans still held coastal strip be- tween Memel and Liepaja, together with a small section northwest of Bialystok.
 President Mikhail Kalinin, in an anniversary article in Red Star, pre- dicted the speedy liberation of the remainder of Poland, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and northern Nor way.
 Allies To Meet
 ''The day is not distant when Soviet, American and British armies will meet on Reich territory, Kal- min said. That will be the day of conclusive victory"
 Two armored columns of Mar. shal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's 2nd Ukranian army were nearing the upper Tisza river, 30 miles east of Budapest, after recapturing Thebig rail and road center of Nyiregyhaza and occupying two other nearby towns.
 (Berlin, in reporting that German forces withstood major" tank at- tacks south of Szolnok, indicated that the Soviets also were driving toward Budapest at a point 45 miles east southeast of tho capital)
 The Russian communique dwelt almost entirely on the Hungarian campaign, mentioning only that arr tillery exchanges occurred or the East Prussiail front.
 (Soviet sources still failed to cOn- firm Berlin reports of a new Rus sian offensive along the Narew river
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-11-01

on both sides of Pultusk, 30 miles north of Warsaw.)
 Closest Approach
 The closest approach to Hungary's strife-torn capital was made by Malinovsky's Southren forces which crossed the Tisza river at Alpar, marched IA miles across an open plain and Stormed into Kecskemet, a five-way rail and 11-way highway junction.
 In the sweep across the plain be- tween the Tisza and Danube rivers, the Russians captured 4,O18 enemy troops and surrounded two regi- ments of the 23rd Hungarian infan- try division, apparently at Kusun- felegyhaza, IA miles southeast of Kecskemet.
 More than 200 inhabited places were liberated by Malinovsky's troops which were driving north to Budapest along two parallel rail lines leading from the Yugoslav capital of Belgrade, and the eastern bank of the Danube river.
 Spearhead
 One spearhead swept around the north of Kiskunfelegyhaza and di- vided into two groups, one driving into Kecskemet and the other cap- turing the town of Izsak, just west of Kecskemet and also 43 miles southeast of Budapest. Izsak was the scene of the 1919 massacre of Jews, socialists and Communists by Hungarian White Guards.
 Another Soviet force at the same time occupied Kalocsa, SO miles due south of Budapest, giving the Rus sians control of almost 180-mile stretch of the east bank of the Dan- ube from Belgrade. At Kalocsa, the Soviets were only. 1l8 miles from the Austrian border and Jl63 miles south east of Vienna.
 Meantime. General Ivan Y. Pet rows Fourth Ukralnian Army con- ttnued the drive south from the

the Far East increased an already strong belief that naval action in the Bay of Bengal may be forth coming.
 Although naval bases in India ara limited, it is believed Indian ports could suply enough naval vessels to carry out landings on tie coast Of southern Burma in support of land action in the north. Last month British naval forces shelled the Me- obar Islands. They saw no sign of life on those Jap-occupied islands and encountered no return fire from shore. Only desultory fire has been met with by British naval units smelling the south Burma coast.
 Although any south Burma land irg will undoubtedly be opposed, the area where possible landings may be made is so great that observers be- lieve strong oposition would not de- velop until too late.
 Huge Air Power
 Allied air power in India and China both in supply transports and fighters and bombers, is so great that Japanese aircraft virtually has been driven from Burma airfields. When the Allies move by sea and land against Burma they will be al- most continually under a protective umbrella of American and British planes and land and sea supply will be greatly supplemented from the air.
 The Monsoon may very possibly break next May on an Allied army well on its way toward the re-occu- patton of Burma and the re-opening ct the old Burma road from Ram goon.

preparation and perhaps already have been completed on Saipan in the Marianas, 1,500 miles south of Tokyo
 Allied sources, including 20th bomber command headquarters in Washington, had no immediate conn., ment on the Japanese broadcast.
 The Superfortresses have attacked the Japanese homeland four times, concentrating on Kyushu Island, 800 miles southwest of Tokyo, with targets including the steel center of Yawata, the Sasebo naval base and, one week ago today, the Omura 'aircraft plant, 12 miles north Of Nagasaki.
 Japanes propagandists went into immediate action after reporting the appearance of the planes over Tokyo, with the Japanese Domei Agency calling the incident roosevelt face-saving aerial stunt" to cover up the American debacle in the battles off F'ormosa and the Philippines before the election" The Domei dispatch was recorded by the EGG.

Island.
 This broadcast also claimed that Japanese forces from the original garrison had opened strong counter attacks against the Americans in an attempt to establish contact with he assault troops.
 The enemy reports which were not confirmed by any Allied source, were the first in several weeks of Jap aense activities in the Palaus, which Admiral Chester Nimitz said were invaded to provide supporting operations for General Douglas MacArthur's drive into the Philip pines.
 Peleliu's airdrome, which was seized shortly after the Amer ican invasion, has been used for some time by U. s. planes for at tacks on the remaining Palau Is- lands. principally Babelthuap, larg- est and northernmost of the group.

 8. Establishment of "an entirely new basis between the President and the Congress so that once again each shall have respect for the other and be willing to work together again"
 FDR Arguments
 Recalling President Roosevelt's own arguments with congress, Dewey declared:
 That is what three terms of un- limited power does to a man. That is why four terms, or 16 years, is the most dangerous threat to our free dom ever proposed. That is one req son why I believe that two terms must be established as the limit by constitutional amendment"
 Dewey offered his audience 1.-two solemn assurances prompted by the speeches of my opponent last Fri day and Saturday.
 Your next president will never use his office to claim personal or political profit from the achieve ments of the American people or from the sacrifices of their sons and daughters" he said.
 'Your next president will never make you a promise that he does not intend with all his heart and soul to keep"
 Tn conclusion, Dewey asked that the nation again make getting ahead a vital part of our American speech and thought"
 New Dealers Sheer
 For years the New Dealers have sneered at the old American idea of getting ahead,'" He asserted. Let us make sure that our children can again believe that there is room for everyone to get ahead. Let us nail that principle to our masthead as we set out on a sure course for the future.
 Let us determine that the end of this war will bring our young men and women home to the kind of America they have earned all over the world. With high purpose, with integrity and relying upon the guid- ance of the God of all of us, we can save freedom in America and go for- ward once again."

 German guns on the south shore of Walcheren commanding the en- trance to the Schelde estauary have been knocked out by Allied bombs and shells several times, but the German Transocean dispatch report ing the Allied landing said they had been repaired and were giving "the enemy all they had"
 Supply Problem
 The Canuadian army newspaper Maple Leaf predicted that tn hes. tuary soon would be cleared con- pletely and added:
 When the freighters start dock. ing in large numbers Cat Antwerp) the supply problem-key to the nex and perhaps final assault on Ger. many-will have been solved. Only Walcheren remains. When the en- eny has been driven from it, prep arations and supply for the last big battle will be in earnest"

 A Berlin broadcast said American forces in eastern France hurled 100 tanks and nearly 5000 infantrymen into a powerful attack southeast of Luneville yesterday in an attempt to break through the German lines and clear the Allied northern and southern Hanks in the area.
 Push Germans Back
 "They succeeded in pushing back the German lines and occupied Montigny," Berlin said. Tn the eve ming, German reserves carried out a counter-attack which halted the Americans"
 Farther south, American 7th army forces in the Rambervillers sector advanced two miles from Bru to the edge of wide forest belt.
 Dispatches from Marshal Sir Ber- nard L. Montgomery's headquarters in Holland said fighting appeared to be dying down all around the south- west Holland front with only enemy real guards, supported by a num- Der of self-propelled guns, left to de- fend the last few thousand yards below the Maas and the Holland deep, into which the river empties
 British 2nd army troops on the eastern side of the offensive front reached the Maas north of Capelle, 12h miles northwest of Tilburg, and captured Raamsdonkveer, five miles to the west. in a push to the edge of Geertruidenberg.
 Bridge Cut
 The bridge across the Maas at Geertruidenberg already has either been cut or rendered impossible by Allied artillery.
 While American and Polish troops forced the Mark river six miles be- lew the Maas at Moerdijk, British and Dutch forces advancing in par allel columns reached the south bank of the Mark along wide front.
 Stiffest resistance from German rear guards was reported 2,000 yards south of Steenbergen on the west coast road from Bergen op Zoom six miles to the south.
