 I heard the same story from the Irish minister and the Just installed chief of police, De uaullist who is filling three prisons and two cor- centration camps with the officials and ftinctionaries of the government of Petain and Laval selected from Q staff of 10000 men and women.
 These 10000 were honeycombed with patriots working secretly with Dc daulists and the rest of the French underground. Top leaders of PetainB own bodyguard and of vichy'S army, navy, and air force were among those close to Petain and Laval who were plotting against them.

Connecticut, unlike Q great many other states, will know the result of the polling within . reasonable length of time after It's voting booths close the night of November !. In. Cidentally the war-time schedule ot c Q. m to 8 ?. m. will be observed again this year, giving election ot- flclais a i4-hour instead of Q i2- hour working day. A number Of htates have made special provision for the soldier vote this fall and are allowing ballots that come in after election day to be counted. This period extends to December in some instances, so If this years election were real close the outcome might not be decided for some weeks after Nov 2. It isn't expect- Cd to take that long to decide the issue, though, for the crucial states won't show a vote that few thou sand soldier ballots can change. In Connecticut all soldier ballots must be in by 6 D. m, November 6, but that still won't prevent Q soldier on the other side of the world who doesn't become 2l until November ' from casting ballot. His ballot can be in and he himself registered in anticipation of his becoming 2l'

break through.
 The Russian drive in lower Poland lulled early in August after the massive sweep which carried within some 75 miles of Silesia at point northeast of Krakow.
 Krosno, apparently the immediate objective of the new Soviet push, is about 30 miles southeast of Kra- kow on the northern fringe of the Carpathian foothills. The new bat- tleground lies between the San and ViStula rivers.
 The Russians forced the San in the summer drive. and crossed the Vistula farther to the north in e drive to flank Warsaw from the south. The present offensive was launched after strong artillery prep- arations, DNB said, and was sup- ported by maSsed tanks.
 New Intensity
 Moscow dispatches reported that the battle northeast Of Warsaw picked up new intensity. It quoted q Pravda dispatch from the front:
 Enemy divisions defending the Narew river positions have been or dered to fight to the last man. They cling flercely to every inch of land, fully aware that beyond the river direct roads to East Prussia are wide open"

(Continusd from Page D shall be fully informed of our ef- forts to achieve and to keep the peace. Secondly, these matters shall never be subjects for partisan poll tical advantage by any individual. or by any party either in or out Of power"
 People Are Agreed
 Dewey said the American people are agreed that there shall not be Q third world war and know that we cannot achieve that resolve through isolation.
 "Our problem is not how to stay out of a future war;" he said. "Our problem is to prevent a future war before it happens, instead of getting into it after 1t has happened
 Calling attention to the fact that he already has made "a practical beginning CT. nOn-pAEtisan cooper ation with Secretary of State Cor dell Hull on the Dumbarton Oaks conference to set up an internation- al peace organization, Dewey said signing a peace pact is not enough.
 He endorsed the four power Dum- barton Oaks tentative agreement for an international assembly with an executive council on which the big four and smaller nations shall be represented.
 World Organization
 'aThis world orgauization should develop effective cooperative means to prevent or repel military aggres- sion, and such means should include the use of force as well as the mobilization of international opin- ion, or moral pressure and economic sanctions" he said.
 There should be a world court to deal with justifiable disputes.
 But, even this is not enough .. we must be fair and upright in our dealings with the smaller nations.
 We Americans and few strong friends must not assume the right to rule the world. It is the obligation of the mighty to make common cause with the less powerful in the interests of justice and peace"
 Political Note
 Then he injected the only politi.' cal note of his half-hour speech Referring to the need for continuing international cooperation to 'get along with our neighbors." he as. serted:
 By this do not mean getting along by the philosophy of the washington wasters. They have been proposing that America should try to buy the good will of the world out Of the goods and labor Of the American people that is no lasting way Co win friends or % lm- fluenes people"

 Stlif Opposition
 British 2nd Army troops m north. eastern Belgium faced equally Stiu opposition along the Albert canal line, where 0 mixed force of green Nai3 troops and survivors Of the ill' fated 18th Army were reported to have received Q stand and die" ors der from Adlf Hitler himself,
 The British were solidly estab- lished on the east bank of the canal along Q flve-mlle line from Beer inren to Bourg-Leopold, however, and the eommuniQue said the latter town, % miles west of the German border, was completely occupied to. day.
 Uneonfirmed reports said the Ger mans had opened the sluice gates of the canal and flooded the battle area in a desperate effort to stem the British advance.
 British, Canadian and Polish troops to the west cleared most ot the isolated German pockets just in. land from the Channel coast and closed in on the chain of ports stu held by die-hard Na3l garrisons.
 OStend Drive
 Canadian armored patrols drove into Ostend and Hrugge and found both ports deserted, Dixmude, lo miles southwest of Ostend, also was captured by the Canadians after . S5-mile advance from st. Omer.
 The Canadians also closed in on Dunkerque, capturing the village ot Bergues, five miles to the south, and battled deeper into the outskirts of Calais and burning Boulogne.
 A Berlin broadcast recorded by the London Stars monitors was quoted that Allied warships had joined in the battle of the ports, bombarding Boulogne and Calais.

 Tn Maiche
 Tn the 3i-mile march from Pon- tarlier, where they were reported officially yesterday, the French swept through Pierre Fontaine and then on into Maiche, three miles west of Switzerland, less than 25 miles south of Belfort.
 At Maiche, the French were only 36 miles east of the Americans at Besancon with the two columns rap- idly converging toward the German escape route through the Belfort Pass.
 The drive through the Saone val- ley also was moving quickly after the French broke through stiff Ger man resistance along a line stretch- ing from Montchanin through Changny to Beaune, all north of Chalon.
 The Germans fought desperate ly in an attempt to protect the Hanks of their columns retreating toward Dion, but were overpowered by the sheer weight of Allied forces.
 Nh Reports
 There were no reports whether the Germans offered opposition at Le Cs,eusot, where the Schneider plant produced some 30.000 tons of steel annually before Allied bombers damaged 1t.
 East of Chalon, American forward clements continued the drive into the Chaux forest and reached the Doubs river at several points east of Dole.
 It also was disclosed that light American forces had started an as- sault on Briancon. near Saint Gen. eyre pass into Italy. which they were forced to abandon 10 days ago to superior German forces possibly withdrawn from northern Italy.
 4 heavy rattle was reported in progress at Briancon. which would give the Allied forces a foothold for a drive through the Maritime Alps into Italy.

 Other First Army units struck out east and northeast of Sedan Tor gains of { to l2 miles and captured St. Cecile, Haut-Fays and MaisSin, the last barely lSh miles from the borders of Luxembourg,
 The ist Army vanguards were 3 to g miles beyond the Mouse on their southern brldgeheads and a front dispatch from United Press War Correspondent Joseph w, 0rigg said the German lines along the Mouse had been shattered com pletely and its defenders put to route,
 Farther North
 Farther to the north, the First Army pushed three miles southeast of the captured fortress city of Liege to within i8 miles of the NaA frontiera crossing the Mouse and taS- Ing the town of Romsee.
 The Americans also forced Q new brldgehead over the Mouse just west of Liege, and captured Neuville-en' CondroZ.
 Pattons Srd Army forces, mean- while, pressed their slow, slugging battle against strong German GOV. ering units holding the heights east of the Moselle, deepening and strengthening Ave bridgeheads across the river above and below Metz and just west of Nancy.
 Headquarters spokesmen revealed for the first time that Patton'S mechanized army was being supplied by air with gasoline and oil, to get his huge array of armor started again on the road to the Rhinelane,
 A great flow of guns and supplies also was moving up to the Moselle by road and 1t was indicated that the "big push" was about to resume, if 1t had not already done so.
 Towns Freed
 A number of unidentified towns north and south of Metz were lther- ated by Patton's men as they famed out along the east bank of the Mos- elle under heavy fire from mortars and field guns commanding the river. None of the new positions was identified, however, but an east- ward advance above Metz would put the Third Army less than 20 miles from the Reich.
 The Germans attempted one strong counter-attack early Friday morning shooting heavy force of Panther tanks and armored cars across the Moselle under cover of darkness, with some 5000 Na1 troopers clinging to them.
 Bursting into a sleeping headquar- ters encampment, the Germans poured a murderous rain of fire into the Americans and almost succeeded in breaking through the lines.
 The wild attack was broken, how ever, by a motley force of American company clerks and cooks who fought of the Nazis with rifles and carbines until armored reinforce

The death of eX.Senator George W. Norris a week ago wasn't the signal for deep mourning ir1 Repub- lican ranks anymore than 1t was in Democratic. Senator Norris really wasn't a Repub- li.an or a Democrat, He had voted with both parties on many occa- sions during his long legislative ca- reer in Washington. but as q party wheel-horse he certainly never quail flel. His main purpose in repre-. Senting the people of Nebraska was ,n see that he worked for Legislation that might benefit all not a few. He was bitter enemy of special leg" islation, That's why you'll find his name attached to legislation that affects all classes. When he started fighting for Muscle Shoals, the Ten- Iiessee Valley Authority, and the lame .duck amendment The Demo- ,rat started to blow his horn. May be the echos still are heard,

It will be interesting tO see h COP National Committeeman J. Kenneth Bradley decides to return to Hartford as q legislator this fall. Of course actually such . decision is in the hands of the voters. but Westport has been so consistently Republican that if MT. Bradley gets nominated he won't have any trouble In being elected. He has long legislative career behind him, including two House and two Senate terms. during one of which he was leader. The nomination won't take place until October and the COP incumbent will not seek renOminatI0n. It remains to be seen whether the same powers that decided Mir. Bradley should give up one of his two jobs as State Chairman and National Committeeman will express then1- selves on any legislative ambi. tons.

 Flying columns of the 3rd Ukrainian army swept south along the Black Sea coast from Mangalia and occupied the Varna naval base. 40 miles inside Bulgaria's 1940 frontier, while 2nd Army units on the inland invasion flank took the Danube river port of Ruse lRus- chuk).
 At Ruse, the Soviets seized 112 German warships, including 12 large vessels, but the occupation forces at Varna discovered that seven U-boats and 67 other small men-of-war had been scuttled by their crews.
 Varna Fall Expected
 The fall of Varna left only the main Black Sea base on BurgaS still nominally in German hands, and that seaport. AS miles below varna, was expected to be occupied without struggle.
 The triumphant Soviet March across Bulgaria, coupled with parti- san and Allied blows in Yugoslavia:. virtually sealed partisan and Allied blows in Yugoslavia. virtually sealed the doom of an estimated 250.OOO to 375, 5,O00 Germans now penned up in Southeastern Europe and Prom ised widespread political repercus- sions throughout the Balkans.
 Sofia declared martial law for all Bulgaria, presumably to facilitate the roundup of German soldiers whose arrest was demanded by Moscow.
 Revolt in Croatia
 (Unconfirmed Sedish reports said revolution had broken out in the Nazi puppet state of Croatia fol- lowing the Red Army drive into Bulgaria and to the Yugoslav border, and Marshal Josip Tito's partisan radio called for general uprising throughout Yugoslavia to wipe out the remaining Axis divi- sionS there.)
 CThe Nazi DINE News agency said Bulgaria's former pretmier. Bogdan Filov. resigned his post on the re- gency council.
 Meanwhile the main body of Mar shal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's 2nd Ukrainian army famed out north ward along the Danube from the Iron gate in pursuit of the retreat ing Germans and struck into the Transylvanian mountain passes against stiffening enemy resistance.

 Far to the south, other Soviet forces were racing through Bull garia toward the Turkish and Greek borders after an unopposed push across the frontier.

 British troops made some gains at the western base of the Conca river bridgehead in the Adriatic sector, capturing one hill feature and the village of Palazo, one mile southeast of San Savino, and the Villas of Croce and Menghio about Q half mile further west and each less than a quarter of a mile above the Conca river.
 Croce was the center of much of the bitter fighting in the last few days fin the Adriatic sector, where the British repulsed 6 series of enemy counter.at without the loss of any of their gains in their drive for Rimiri, coastal gateway to the Pc Valley.
