workers and ex-servicemen who may

Our object now must be to prepare
for full production and full employ.
ment after the war For this purpose,
one of the first steps must be to rem
edy the grievous injustice from which
war workers are suffering, through
the freezing of wage rates far below
the level of soaring living costs, UNI
der the so-called Little Steel formula.
The wage adjustments demanded by
labor are necessary for economic sta
bilization and for an adequate liveli-
hood for our war workers, so they
may be able to produce at maximum
efficiency. But, more than this, they
are necessary to provide the purchas-
ing power upon which production will
depend in the transition and postwar
periods.
This Labor Day falls in the midst
of an election campaign whose re-
suits will be of crucial Importance
both for victory and the postwar pc
riod
The President and the congress that
we elect will either speed or delay the
day of victory. Their decisions will
determine whether we are to go for
ward to full production, with jobs for
all, and to lasting peace through in
ternational collaboration; or whether
we shall go back to another postwar
apple-selling era and to isolationist or
imperialist policies that will SOW the
seeds of future wars.

Can there be any doubt that we
could use this idea to break the in
ertia of our Missouri Valley?
But congress in it's wisdom went
one step further in creating the IVA
IVA was not to be a super bureau
of the federal government imposing
its will upon the people of a vast re
gion. Congress wanted to be sure
that this regional agency would be at
home with the people and their prob
lens of resource development. In
setting up this government agency
the congress decreed that it should
not establish its headquarters in
Washington, remote from the locale
in which its work lay with only re-
gional offices in the valley Instead,
having settled upon the broad policies
which govern the development, the
congress provided that the IVA
should maintain its headquarters in
the region where its responsibilities
for development lay. In TWAS office
in Washington there are only 10 en-
ployes. The administrators, engineers,
technicians are living and working in
the Tennessee Valley
By these measures, the congress
assured that the work of the IVA
would be closely related to the parti-
cular needs of the Tennessee Valley.
In the valley, the IVA is close to the
people, accessible to those who have
ideas or complaints, and sensitive to
their needs and desires in the matter
of the development of resources. For
it is not enough to say that resources
shall be developed" they must be de-
veloped in a way which squares with
the basic needs and aspirations of
the people concerned. Only in that
way can the regional and national in
terests in the development of re-
sources be fulfilled
There is another reason why | want
this close relationship between the
Missouri Valley Authority and the
people of the valley. 1t is the best

RAIL ROUTE IS WRESTED
 FROM NAzI5
Germans Retreating Swift Iy on Same Road Nd-
 poIeon Used

MOSCOW, June 29-Soviet ar mics converging on Minsk drove to within 37 miles of the White Rus sian capital, and are pushing the Germans swiftly back over the same road to Warsaw and Berlin Napoleon followed on his disastrous retreat from Moscow.
 Like a huge, grasping hand, the Red Army has reached for Minsk, while artillery and bombers blast ed the way for the ground forces. The handlike Soviet offensive is formed by units flaming out north west of Minsk like fingers, while strong groups are southeast of the city, and the Leningrad-Odessa Railway is now in Russian hands.
 A Russian military commentator, Cor Nikolai Akimov, said that the reopening of this rail route "is a factor that shouldn't be underes- timated, for the advantages it af- lords in transferring our forces on a parellel line with the front, one of the major conditions in achiev- ing supremacy in any direction"
 The chosen new blows are three: a main thrust through Minsk down the old Snolensk- Warsaw road; over the Bykhov- -Minsk Highway and across the middle of the Bere- gina River; and up through the valley of the Ptic River and over the Gomel -Minsk Railway and highway.

NOMINEE OF REPUBLICANS
 HAS RECORD
Dewey Comes from Virtual 0bslWity to N National
 Prominence, f0Yedrs
tBy Associated Pressl

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, who was nominated yester- day for President on the first bal lot by the wartime Republican Ma tional Convention at Chicago, open- ly and ardently sought the nom ination in 1940, losing his battle to Wendell l.. Willkie. Then, to many Republican leaders, he was considered young and incxperien- ced, despite his near defeat of Gov. Herbert H. Lehman in 1888 when he sought to become chief execu- tive of the Empire State.
 Four Years Older
 Today, Dewey is four years older, In 1942, he broke 20-year Demo- cratic hold on the administration of President Roosevelt's home state, and behind him now is IA months of leadership during which the Democrats have not yet picked any serious flaw.
 Born in Oswosso, Mich., March 24, 1902, he has come from virtual obscurity to national prominence in ten years. That swift rise left appraisers sharply divided on his qualifications for the nomination.
 Tnexperience" Cited
 His age, 42, and what some still term his ''inexperience" weighed heaviest with the governors critics.
 Friends of Dewey recall that Democrats raised the "inexpcr- ience' cry against him as candi- date for the goyernorship. Then they cite his 14-months record as a state administrator.
 The son of a newspaper publisher, Dewey was graduated from the University of Michigan in 1923. He went to New York City and re- ceived his law degree at Columbia law school in 1925.
 While practicing law in 1928, he married Frances Eileen Hut, Gf sherman, Texas. They have two sons, Thomas E. Dewey, Jr., and John M. Dewey
 He was appointed Chief Assist ant United States Attorney for the southern district of New York in 1881 and in 1933 briefly filled a vacancy as United States Attorney
 Racket Buster"
 Gov. Lehman appointed Dewey a special prosecutor in 1885 to in- vestigate New York City rackets And Dewey, who as Assistant U. 5 Attorney had convicted "Waxey' Gordon, New York beer baron. of income tax evasion. made a smash ing success of his new assignment
 He broke the poultry. vegetable trucking and other rackets, con victed various labor union leaders and sent Charles Lucky" Luciano vice overlord, to prison for 30 to 50 years. Later he was to charge Tammany District Leader James ! Hines with involvement in a 20- million dollar policy racket and put him behind the bars of Sing Sing |
