surviving, for the return of the sur
vivor to this country for duty here
or for discharge from the Army If
circumstances warrant" the Secre-
tary explained.
Each case, he said, would be de-
cided on its individual merits. He
pointed out that the new policy
is in line with the general attitude
of the Army in providing relief to
families when extreme hardship is
shown.
The new War Department policy
recalled the action Of the Marine
Corps three weeks ago when it
granted an honorable discharge to
Pfc. Boyd Borgstrom after three
of his brothers were killed and a
fourth was reported missing in
action. Pvt. Borgstrom, a veteran
Of the South Pacific, was released
from Camp Lejeune, N. c., and sent
back to his fathers farm near
Tremonton, Utah, after his parents
petitioned for his release.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-The Ger
man high command announced
today that Allied forces, striking
to clear the last Nazi guns block
ing Allied conveys from Antwerp,
had landed on the south shore
of Beveland Island.
"Countermeasures are In progress,
the communique said, indicating the
amphibious forces already had es-
tablished bridgehead on the north
side of the Schelde estuary.
Earlier Berlin broadcasts that
Walcheren, another island north of
the estuary, had been invaded by
Allied land and sea forces were not
borne out by the communique.
Landing Made in Fog.
The landing apparently was made
under the protection of a dense
morning fog which swept in from
the North Sea and came as Allied
forces, fighting through hip-deep
water, forged slowly ahead to clear
the sea approaches to Antwerp.

AFL Quits Wage Cases
Until Decision Is Made
On Little Steel Scale
Meony Rejects WLB
Invitation to Change
Mind or leuve Bourd
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The American Federation OF
Labor precipitated a new crisis
in the War Labor Board today
with 4 refusal to participate in
certain wage cases until q de.
cision is made on demands for
a change in the Little Steel"
formula.
George Meany, AFL secretary
treasurer, disclosing AFL's decision
said Chairman William H. Davis OF
the WLB had invited the Fedora
ton to change its mind or with
draw from the board. Mr.. Meany
said the AFL at the moment did not
plan to take either course.
The AFL, Mr.. Meany stated
would not participate in WLB wage
cases involving demands in excess
of the Little Steel" formula until
an overall policy decision had been
made on the formula itself.
This meant the AFL would not
take part in a half dozen CIO dis
pute cases on which the WLB Is
scheduled to start deliberations
next Tuesday. Foremost among
these is the dispute in which the
United Steel Workers are asking an
increase of II cents an hour, above
the Little Steel" levels.
Labor Strategy Differs.
The AFL's objective has been a
modification or elimination of the
formula without respect to any
specific case.
The CLOS strategy has been based
on group of specific cases, such as
those involving steel, General Mo-
tors, textiles and the packing in
dustry
Under the procedure laid out by
the WLB itself yesterday, the CIO
cases would be taken up next week
and the wage issue would be re-
jected as outside the existing sta
bilization policy. The board, how
ever, could act on other issues in
dispute in those cases, such as night
shift differentials, vacation pay and
other benefits sought by the CIO
unions.
The AFL members of the board
Mr.. Meany and Matthew Woll-ap-
prehensive of the procedure set forth
by the board, are reported to feel

Hull Answers Dewey,

Statement Issued From
Hospital Bed Praises
Foreign Policies

Secretary of State Hull, in a
statement which observers in
terpreted as an answer to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey's criticisms of
President Roosevelt foreign pol
icy, declared today that the
President is a statesman
equipped by nature and by ex-
perience" to meet the tremen-
dous problems which will face
America in the postwar era.
From his room in the Bethesda
Naval Hospital, where he is under
going physical examination, Mr..
Hull issued a 400-word statement
praising the Presidents foresight
and courage in meeting the diplo-
matte problems connected with the
war. He did not mention the Re-
publican candidate by name.
Mr.. Hull said the task of building
a postwar peace structure is tire
mendous" and is not one "in which
good intentions will suffice"
STAYED OFF Disaster.
The Secretary outlined the various
steps which Mr.. Roosevelt has taken
in the field of foreign affairs since
the Nazis invaded Poland and said
that history will record that these
acts of the United States under
the farsighted leadership Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt were indis-
pensable in staving OF disaster tc
our Nation and other free nations. ;
Under that same leadership, he de-
clared, I'VE have built a vast wal
machine which Is bringing certain
victory"
Secretary Hull's statement follows
-Four years ago, with the fall o1
France, the United States was faced
by an unparalleled challenge flung
at us by the most viscious interna-
tional desperados of all time.
TN this hour of supreme peril
President Roosevelt saw the issue
clearly He saw that If we did not
assist the nations defending them
selves against aggression, those ma
tions would be conquered, one BY

SUPREME ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, Paris, Oct. 90
The best available information
here is that the German Army
now has barely a third as many
troops on the western front as
it had at the time of the 1918
armistice.
To hold the 600-mile front
from the North Sea to Switzer-
land, the Germans have well
under 100 diyisions-divisions
SO depleted in r1Anpower and
equipment that they equal only
half their normal strength.
At the end Of the World War
the Germans still had about 100
divisions in the f1tld on the
western front, and did not have
to contend with Russian Armies
at their backs.
