Byrnes Deprecaies
Dewey Peace Action

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l-(P,
- War Mobilization Director
James F. Byrnes contends there
is little or no possibility of Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey directing
through the Republican party a
successful fight for effective
cooperation.
THE fight for organized
peace will never be won by men
whose hearts are not in the
fight" Byrnes asserted last
night in a radio address urging
the reelection of President
Roosevelt. Dewey's election he
contended would inevitably de-
lay the winning of the war and
jeopardize the peace"
The fight for organized
peace will require courageous
leadership and unshakable con-
viction," Byrnes said. When
ever the agreement setting up
machinery for international CO.
operation is submitted to the
Senate there will be serious OPP

Admiral Halsey tried his best.
The big ship was ordered under
forced draft, racing toward the
enemy positions. At sunrise
there was still hope and the adj
miral stood on the flag bridge
with his hands in his pockets
and smiling to himself. Then at
noon his cheerfulneSs began to
fade as it became apparent that
the battle was moving too fast
the flagship couldn't catch up.
Still the admiral was hopeful.
Taking a small force Of the
fastest ships, he headed at top
speed toward San Bernardino
Straits, hoping to intercept part
of the japanese force there. All
afternoon the ships hulls trem-

Clinton Clerk
Calls Handful
Attack Unfair

Paul StepnitZ, clerk of Clin-
ton township, today called at
tention to the fact that he had
recently been made the target
of handbill attack challenging
his reasons for failing to depu-
tie private individuals to ham
die the registration of new vot-
ers in the Clinton district.
Stepnitz pointed out that, un-
der the law, he is charged with
orderly and efficient registra-
tons and should, of his own
knowledge, know that applicants
for registration actually are re-
sidents of the district and are
qualified to cast election ballots.
The clerk said that, prior to
the deadline, he had maintained
regular deputized clerks at the
township offices and at his home
and that, as result, so far as he
knows, every potential voter
actually did register or had
ample opportunity to do so.
He said that 500 additional
voters did register in Clinton
township this year bringing to
about $500 the number quail
fled to vote there on Tuesday.
He said that he felt he had
been unfairly attacked and ask
ed the Monitor-Leader to point
out that registrations in the
Clinton district were both eff
GENTLY handled and convenient
for the general public.
