STOP DEWEY MOVEMENT I5 NOW GAINING
Hoosier COP Convention Shouts Down Proposal to
 Pledge for N. Y Gov.
lRy Associated Pressl

The last ditch Stop Dewey movement apparently has taken on new life in the Republican Party as the result of the Indiana COP con- vention, which shouted down yes terday a proposal to pledge the States 29 votes to Dewey.
 Opponents acclaimed the setback as beginning a shift which they believe may prevent the first ballot nomination with 64 votes previously pledged for their candidates, ano packers of Gov. Bricker hailed the result as sweeping victory.
 Dewey supporters came out of the convention with a minimum of two delegates to boost their pledged ano claimed total to 390. and claimed the support of six others.
 The Bricker faction and other Dewey opponents contend that there are enough opposition votes among the 488 delegates thus far chosen are unpledged and unclaimed to tie up the nomination beyond the first ballot.
 The Indiana convention nomin- ated Homer Capehart, of Indian apolis, for the long term seat in the United States Senate.
 The Maryland State Democratic Convention yesterday named an un- instructed delegation of l8 votes and the Kanass Demos are meeting to- day, where party leaders said the eight votes were certain to endorse Roosevelt for fourth term.

AMERICANS
 WIN RIDGE
 FROM JAp5
Tanks Clear Enemy from Heights Guarding Mok-
 mer Airdrome on Bidk

ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD QUARTERS IN NEW GUINEA, June 3.~-American jungle troopers fought to the top of the heavily wooded ridge overlooking the Bos- nek to Moker road to increase the pressure Thursday on the desper- ate Japanese defenders of Biak, General Macarthur announced to- day.
 Enemy resistance atop the vital height was shattered by tough Sixth Army Tanks who invaded the largest Schouten Island week ago.
 We are now mopping up,' a headquarters spokesman reported.
 The struggle by the Americans to throw out the Japanese who had been holding up the advance to the important Moker airport has been in progress since Monday The en- emy had dug prepared positions on the ridge, and streamed sniper fire into the Tanks moving west along the road
 The storming of the ridge was achieved near lodi and Mandon; which are villages off the main route from Bosnek to the Mokmer airdrome, situated only 880 miles from the southern Philippines Two more airdromes are just beyond the Mokmer strip.
 The possession of the ridge pOis- es the Americans for the main thrust on the three airfields. The Japanese positions enabled them to threaten the Tanks on the Hanks.
 The commanders ordered the ad- vance slowed for the enemy to be cleared from the heights.
 Ground troops received air sup port from big Liberators which skinned the trees over the ridge and tore the enemy strong points with 80 tons of bombs.

WASH1NGTONs June 2-If yol want to embarrass your Congress man when he comes home cam paigning, ask him about how the overlapping Investigating commit tees of the House and Senate have mushroomed
 Rep. John J. Cochran, Missouri Democrat has already pointed the way. With elections popping almost every week and many to come be- fore the big day, Nov. ', Cochran has been compiling data and de- nouncing the growth of committees
 Some of his findings make those Congressmen who blast at the mul- tiplying bureaucracies sound little like kettles calling the pot black.
 How can we justify our criticism of duplication, waste and extrava- gance, in the executive departments, when we practice what we protest?' asks the Representative.
 Cochran says the record will show that the Senate has passed 38 and the House 30 resolutions granting special powers to standing committees or establishing special committees. What worries the Con- gressman is that many of these committees duplicate the work of others. That's what wearies the host of busy executives, military leaders and war officials who have to testify before them.
 Gen. George O. Marshall, Secre- taries Stimson, Morgenthau and Ickes arc only few of those called away from their desks for hours to testify before some committee only to have to climb the Hill the next day or the next week to tell the same story all over again to another committee.

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Lt. Col Robert g. Allen now on acti, service with the ArmyD

WASHINGTON = Some of the smart boys inside the Republican Party are quietly urging that their strategy during the coming cam paign take the line so powerfully laid down by Senator Bridges of New Hampshire, the other day, when he emphasized various defi- ciencies in FDR's leadership for permanent peace.
 Bridges is one of the Senate Re- publicans who has spotless record when it comes to cooperation with the President on the war and on his entire foreign policy. Long be- fore Pearl Harbor, when other Re- publicans were trying to hamstring the Administration Bridges was out in front fighting for Roosevelt's s main war ideas.
 For that reason, what he had to say the other day was much more effective. Bridges main thesis was ::
 "The American people are not go- ing to rest content with any issue out of this present struggle which results merely in re-shuffled game of balance of power politics. We are not going to welcome any new tangled sort of imperialism-will never acclaim any outcome of this  present cataclysm which merely sows the seeds of another and more horribly devastating war"

 The dramatic arrival of the Am erican formation evoked the first communique which also said "a large force of bombers and fighters attacked Rumanian targets selected by our Russian Allies and then con- tinued to Russian bases. Enemy op- position was slight. One bomber was lost. Red fighters cooperated in attacks on enemy airdromes on the route"
 Last night the Budapest radio went off the air. possibly second phase of the shuttle operations be- ing under way.
 The American fleirs arriving at the new Russian base were greeted by beaming Russian and American ground crews as well as an official welcoming group including United States Ambassador Hartman and his daughter Kathleen, and Maj. Gen. John Deane. head of the Am- erican Military Mission in Russia.
 The American Legion of Merit medal which the fliers brought was presented to Soviet It. Gen. Alex ander Perinov, in charge of Russian facilities.

WEAK POINT IN FDR's ARMoR

Senator Bridges then put his fin ger on what some Republican stra- tegists believe may be the weak point in Roosevelt's war policies, his apparent lack of conviction that this war is not just another war, to be followed by more wars and more power politics.
 Why is it, MT President" asked Bridges, that you no longer talk about a peace that shall endure? Is this why the New York Times of December Is, 1943, quoted you in your press conference as saying:
 "'The Allied conferences were motivated by the general thought that they did not want another war in the lifetime of the present gen. eration.'
 Does this mean" asked Bridges that already you have been forced to compromise the ideal of an en- during peace?"
 brlOeeS also quoted the saturday Evening Posts recent articles by Forrest Davis on the Teheran con- articles supposed to have been initiated by FDR in advance and which represent the President as believing that hereafter only countries with an abundance of manpower and resources plus huge industrial plants can engage in the business of war"
 Not only COP strategists, but some of the Presidents own friends believe this may be weak point in the Presidents armor and, even
