 Factory District
(By Associated Pressl

The Tokyo radio today sputtered for hours about Superfort raid on the Japanese Capital City. but the War Department in Washington said it has mo information about any aerial operations over Japan"
 Tokyo has not been hit by Ameri- can bombs in more than two years.
 In series of confused reports, the Tokyo radio said one Superfort appeared from a newly developed base in the Marianas Islands and appeared over the Capital City but left without attempting attacks"
 Another report said several four engined planes were over the City, and that at least ten planes raided the factory district, throwing the workers into confusion.
 The reports all agreed that an enemy plane or planes were over the Tokyo area about D. m. We'd nesday (Tokyo time,)
 At the tune of the Marianas in- vasion there was much speculation on whether engineers could build a huge base on Saipan for the raid- ing of Tokyo by B-29s.

COP Nominee Says Roose. veil Is Making False
 Campaign Promises

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 1-Charg- ing President Roosevelt with mak- ing bogus" campaign promises, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey last night outlined a Republican program and said he would bring "an end to government by abuse and smear.
 The COP nominee declared in the Memorial Auditorium that if he wins the Presidency in next Tuesdays election he will take of- flee January 20 without promise expressed or implied to a living soul" except public campaig n pledges he had made.
 No 1000 Club
 There is no 1000 Club in my party and I have not offered the government of the United States for sale at 5000 to any man and never will to anyone at any price. Your new administration will take office honestly, without secret promise of special privileges to any class or group or section Dewey said.
 Party Platform
 Here, in brief, is what he said the Republicans will do if they are victorious:
 Direct all government policies toward the goal of full employ ment through full production at a high wage level.
 Adopt an entirely new tax struc- ture designed primarily to create jobs.
 Make our Social Security Sys- tenn available to every American.
 Establish a definite and secure floor under farm prices.
 Restore free collective bargain ing in America.
 Abolish the greater part of gov- ernment reports required from both big and little businesses.
 Bring an end to business mon- opoly through acquisition of a competent saff of prosecutors in the Department of Justice"

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Gt. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-One thing Capi- tai observers will especially watch, should Gov. Dewey enter the White House, is whether he will prosecute certain political cases now before the Justice Department.
 Dewey has been hammering home the promise that he would clean up Washington and it so happens that some new political cases have just come up.
 They involved alleged violations of the Corrupt Practices Act, which requires that all political parties file list of their contributions at regular intervals, and that no con- tributions be received from cor porations.
 Just few days ago, the Senate Campaign Investigating Committee unearthed the fact that Roosevelt hating American Democratic Ma tional Committee, whose high sounding name is not to be con- fused with the regular Democratic National Committee, had received contributions from three corpora tions-Advance Aluminium Casting Company, of Chicago; R. B. Walker Co.,, of Mobile, Alabama, and the Potash Company of America, Carlsbad, New Mexico.

 The beast gave a mighty roar and charged. Three more shots in rapid succession went into his body. the fourth striking the bears heart With a groan the bear fell dead at their feet, leaving the hikers weak and shaken.
 Chief Hessey. however, rallied to the occasion. skinned his victim and brought the hide triumphantly to town; having completed his sec ond requirement for the rating of a sourdough.

2,594 JAP AIRCRAFT
 WIPED OUT
Enemy Caught with Planes Down-Losses Huge in
 Philippine Fight
By CHARLES H. McMURTRY "A. P, Correspondent

s UNITED s STAT TIES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS, PEARL HARBOR, Nov. 1-Carrier planes wiped out 2,594 enemy aircraft, and perhaps 252 more, in the two months dating from the time the task forces opened up on August 30 with the Philippine pre-invasion raids and extending through the trio of naval battles in the Philip pines area.
 During the same period-dating from the Bonins assault on through Palau, Ryukuyus, Formosa, and the Philippines to October 31--attack- ing planes of the Seventh and Third Fleets lost approximately 300 planes, Admiral Chester w. Nimitz announced. Many American pilots and crews of the downed planes were rescued.
 Sea Craft Losses
 The assessment of the enemys staggering air losses followed the cominunique reporting that Japan had Suffered at least 60 warsf1ips sunk or damaged within the past week and probably the loss of 35,000 of its naval personnel, in- cluding a few admirals. {. Inasmuch as Japanese plane pro- duction is estimated to be from 1,200 to 1,500 planes a month, the action just about rubbed out all that the Nippon aircraft factories could turn out in the same period
 Admiral Nimitz suggested that the 2,594 total is subject to an expected revision upwards, saying it was a conservative recapitula- tion."
 Ground Bags
 The enc my was caught so re- peatedly with his planes down" that the grounded bag was 1,132, close to the sky battles bag Of 1 ,462.
 American subs have sunk l8 more Japanese vessels, including de- stroyer, the Navy announced, in the wake of the U. s. Naval of ficiars statement that the Nippon ese fleet has been hammered and broken in the Philippines Sea ac- stions and is dead bird"
