New York City's initial gains in
voter registration over four years
ago conceded yesterday (Thurs-
day. with reports of heavy enroll
ments in industrial areas of half
a dozen other states.
But signs still point to a smaller
list Of voting eigibles, for the COM
ty as a whole, thar the $4,000, 900
registered in 1910.
The New York City three day
count of 1,468, 400 registrants rep
resented a gain of o m 10000
over the same period four years
ago. Heavy turnouts were report
ed in urban cen1ers of California,
Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Mich
igan and other states.
Official registration figures, how
ever, are kept only in about a
dozen states and where estimates
of states as a whole have been
made by party officers they gen
orally show a decrease under 1910
forecasts. States like Michigan,
California and Ohio might make
up, through great influxes of war
workers, losses in registration die
to the exodus of men in uniform.
Some metropolitan areas in Ohio
have reported slightly smaller reg
istrations than in 1910, but Cleve-
lands is up $4,000 from its 644,413
four years ago. Registration books
closed in Ohio at midnight Mon
day.
Meanwhile, War Secretary Slim
son said reports had been received
OF only 268 instances where the
outer envelopes Of Army Navy
service ballots had been stamped
by censors and only two where the
inner envelope Of an Army ballot
had been opened. These, he add
ed, had been inspected Through
accident or mistake" and mot by
design"
An Army spokesman in London
reported soldier voting picking up
this week in Britain as the Sunday
deadline for use Of the federal bal
lot nears. He said there will be
no disclosure on how many votes
are cast in that theater.

WINTER WAR SEEN
BY EISENHOWER
Nv EDWARD KENNEDY

SUPhGMG AAi1AO - Ivy
LIE EXPED1T1ONAR4
FORCE. France, Oct. 12.-lf'-
Cen. Dwight D. Eisenhower SAID
today that Allied Armies now had
struck powerful German inner de-
lenses but he is resolved to wage
war unabated through the winter
and beyond if it takes that long TO
crush the enemy.
The supreme commander maoe
II clear at a press conference that
although he regards sudden Ger
man collapse as a possibility, ne
sees no Reason to rely on it, since
the weapon OF fear which the Hit
Ter regime uses to whip the home
front into line now is stronger IMAM
ever.
The threat Of the Red army IN
the east and the Allied army on
German soil in the west can have
no effect on leader who faces
the loss of everything once he ad-
mits defeat.
The general reaffirmed his con-
fidence in complete Allied victory
although it was pointed out there
NAV be pauses in the Allied ad.
vance because of the strength OF
prepared defenses and the Allied
supply problems.
There will be no let-up. he de-
clared, in the aggressive action
with which the Allies have routec
the enemy from France.
The present American destruc.
ton of Aachen following refusal OF
the German commander to surren-
der is a matter of field tactics ra-
Their than general American policy
toward German cities, the general
said.
The Allied armies are entering
Germany as conquerors, he reiter'
ated, explaining:
I'm Germany there will be no
determination. We go in as con-
querors. We shall treat them
Justly in conformity with civilized
standards as exemplified by our
governments. We will have nothing
else to do with them except in nee
essary official relationships"
His view of the situation could be
summed up as one of full conf
dence in the outcome but fully ap-
preciative of the difficulties ahead,
with any reliance on speedy Ger
man crackup sheer wishful think
ing, and any despair over the
strength of resistance unjustifiee.
Discussing recent operations, he
declared:
IT felt myself that not enough
credit had been given to the ire
mendous advantages that accrued
to us through the operations OF the
first Allied airborne army.
1.-The first British airborne di-
vision not only gave all Allied
forces one of the most gallant ex-
amples Of bravery, fortitude ane
courage in all this war, but by
drawing upon itself the fury of the
German counterattack enabled us
to hold important bridges.
1T was valiant maneuver and
it does not detract in the slightest
degree from the excellent work
and courage of the 82nd and 101st
airoorne U. S. divisions, who came
behind them. Thex did. beautiful
work and I am proud of them all"
In a reaffirmation of his faith in
ultimate victory over Germany he
said:
II have complete confidence in
the peoples of the United States.

U I'D Nations to see this war

went cover the top throughout

mems sales army under Leo Sykes
which achieved more than its

planned, had "a hard job to do"
Theirs was the house-to-house,

For the numbers of individual
solicitors who have worked with
out benefit of publicity, but who
were responsible for the crafty
ing results, he had highest praise
and expressions of appreciation.
Negro citizens responded ably,
it was pointed out. Through their
places of business, Negro workers

added to other collections OF 81 ,029.
