President Back, Works
On Political Speech

Back at the White House after his
Quebec conference with Prime Min
lister Churchill, President Roosevelt
today started work on the speech he
will deliver here Saturday night
before the International Teamsters
Union which will open formally his
fourth-term campaign.
Presidential Secretary Stephen
Early said Mr.. Roosevelt has not
had time until now to do anything
on the address, which will be de-
livered before approximately 800
members OF the union at dinner at
the Statler Hotel. It will be broad
cast on all networks from $50 to
1000 pm.
In announcing this speech before
he left for Quebec, the President
said 1t would be political" and that
he will follow it with another ad-
dressed to party workers on Oc-
tober S.
The President is expected to bear
heavily on the benefits that labor
has received in IL years of the
New Deal, and perhaps answer
charges directed against admins
tration labor policies by Gov
Thomas E. Dewey.
There has been some thought
too, that Mr.. Roosevelt might give
an inkling of his views of the labor
drive to break the Little Steel
wage formula. 4

337,243 in Army
By the Associated Press.

War casualties of the United
States armed forces now exceed
100000.
Secretary of War Stimson said
today that Army casualties re-
ported through August 20 were 337.-
743. The latest Navy casualty list
totals 63,Ol7.
The new Army figure was an in
crease of 10.l27 over that an
nounced a week ago, but only about
half the rate of increase in recent
weeks. The drop apparently re-
flected a comparative, lull in fight
ing between the break-through
from the Normandy and Brittany
areas and the resumption of heavy
fighting as Allied forces neared the
German border.
Army casualties, together with
figures for the previous week, follow
Killed, 64,468 and 62,357; wounded
177,235 and 172,042: prisoners, 48, ,725

American invasion of the Palaus
has cost the japanese the small
island of Apgaur, most. of Pele-
liu and 7,645 lives, but Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz reported last
night that "the enemy resistance
is bitter" on rocky and rugged
Peleliu.
The Nimitz communique spoke of
SLOW progress being made" in heavy
fighting by the 1st Marine Division
on Peleliu, where the invasion of
the vital Palau line of defenses
started week ago today. The
japanese had the advantage of
rocky, timbered elevations.

night in Blue Network broad

marines have won all but a

coast of Peleliu)
The announcement of 7045 Japa-
nese killed on Peleliu and 600 on
Angaur came after a communidue
told OF the virtual conquest of
Angaur, where only mopping up
action remained for the 8lst Army
Division.
The casualty estimate for Peleliu
covered virtually three -fourths of
the estimated 1O,5OO enemy on the
island when the invasion was
launched. Officers on Peleliu de-
scribed its rocky, cave-pocked ter
rain as the worst yet encountered In
the drive westward across the Pa

A small, unnamed island off the
northeast corner of Peleliu was
occupied by the marines without
any report of resistance.

Tight Rein on Costs

By Citizens Groups
Federation, Trade Boord
Want Expenses Held to
Revenues and Gronts
BY CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

Representatives of the Board
of Trade and Federation of Citi-
zenS' Associations today called
on the Commissioners to keep
District expenditures within the
revenues and funds of the city
in the fiscal year 1916.
Speaking at the outset of the
public hearing on the 1916 budget,
L. H. Parker, chairman of the
Municipal Finance Committee of
the Board of Trade, told the Com
missioners his organization urged
District expenditures be kept
within District revenues and ac-
cumulated earmarked funds" and
that present tax rates not be in
creased nor new taxes imposed"
This is primarily because present
tax rates, coupled with extremely
high Federal tax rates, often i'm
posed on the same subject of taxa
-tlon, already create such an ex-
cessive tax burden as to reduce
seriously the incentive of our citi-
zens to produce" Mr.. Parker de-
clared.
Should Increase Incentive.
IF peace comes it will be i'm
portant to increase rather than re-
duce the incentive of our citizens to
go into privately owned business
enterprise or to expand those al
ready existing" he said.
Harry S. Wender, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
also urged that the budget be bal
anced, that taxes not be reduced and
that any savings be placed in a con-
tingency fund for postwar building
He said the Federation would submit
more detailed statement early ir
October.
Regarding the 1916 estimates OF
$68,613,689, Mr.. Parker said the
Board of Trade was in genera
agreement with the proposed budget
II present taxes at present rates
plus reserve funds, plus the Federal
Governments payment, will be suffi
cient to provide for the expenditures
PAoPOOCO.
Speaking for the Keystone Auto
mobile CLUB, George E. Keneipp
manager, urged new post of dep
uty director of vehicles and trafic
and reiterated the demand of his
organization for abandonment OF
automobile inspection service during
the war.
Auto Repairmen Needed.
In regard to eliminating compul-
sorry inspection Of motor vehicles the
speaker said the present staff is
operating with only 73 per cent Of
its authorized strength and 1T is
felt that the 28 inspectors still en-
ployed by the two inspection sta
tions could make a much greater
contribution to the war effort by

cies which are desperately in need

LONDON, Sept. 21.-Flying

While the newest raids carried
neither the intensity nor terror of
the earlier assaults, the rush of

the robot assaults thus have had the
effect of keeping London in con-

the flying bombs are being launched
