DEWEY SEEMS
 TO AGREE ON
 ONE BIG ISSUE
COP Candidate Wants Strong Security League
 Same as Roosevelt

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, Oct. 25-- Gov. Thomas E. Dewey declared last night that American partici- patton in a World Peace Organiza- tion must not be subject to the reservation that would require our representative to return to Con- gress for authority every time he had to make a decision"
 The New York Governor, in his first address since President Roose- welt made his foreign policy speech in New York last Saturday night, said: Obviously Congress, and only Congress, has the constitu- tional power to determine what force it will make available and what discretion it will give to our representative to use that force.
 T have not the slightest doubt that Congress which was work ing in partnership with the Presi- dent will achieve the result that we all consider essential and grant adequate power for swift action to the American representative.
 Makes Accusation
 The COP Presidential Nominee accused President Roosevelt of hay ing permitted shipment to Japan of "as much as 3,O0OOOO barrels a month of oil, which is the heart and blood of war. for use against China and for storage for future use against America" up until four months before Pearl Harbor.
 Let those who claim to have ex- ercised great foresight remember these lessons in history and let us as a nation, never forget them
 Dewey disregarded his scheduled farm speech to fill in gaps" that he said, MT. Roosevelt forget" ir his speech.

Many Nip War Vessels Reported Damaged
Many Whipping-BoYs
 Are Aiding Roosevelt
 in Present Campaign

The political wisdom of this can only be written in returns from the ballot boxes in November
 There doesn't seem to be any dictionary definition of a political whipping boy, but any successful politician could hold forth for hours on the importance of having several around when the sledding gets rough.
 Actually, it is someone who can bear the brunt of opposition lash ings for mistakes, someone who may be tossed out into the street by his chief if necessary. Some of the Presidents whipping-boys have been sacrificed; others still eat at the Presidential family table.
 Almost forgotten now, as whip ping-boys, are Raymond E. Moley, one of the original brain -trusters and a first-term campaign speech writer and adviser on anti-depres-

NAzIS FALL BACK ALONG HOLLAND LINE
Allies Making Progress All Along Western Front
 as Enemy Retreats

LONDON, Oct. 25.-British troops, turning flame throwers against Ger man bazooka nests, struck through the big Dutch road junction city of Shertogenbosch in mop-up opera tions today. The Germans fell back on a 15-mile front below and above the key city.
 The British pressed in on the eastern end of the German box salient in southwestern Holland, and the Canadians bit deeper into the western edge and made progress in two drives to clear the water approaches to Antwerp.
 One Canadian prong hit on toward Roosendall and Bergen Op Zoom, 20 and g miles north of Antwerp, against strong resistance.
 The enemy is reported to be mak- ing local withdrawals below Breda and Tilburg, the middle strongholds of their line across southwestern Holland from the coast to Sherto- genbOSch.
 The Allied communique reported slight but steady Allied progress at the opposite end of the western front, with the forces in the Vosges Mountains improving their positions.
 Troops northeast of Epinal are making further gains, including the capture of Mortagen and Bifon- taine, after house toulouse fighting from north of Aachen down to the area east of Luneville.
 There are no important changes in the front, said the communique.

Wartime Government
 Consolidation; Great
 Problem Fading Smith

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25-Without any fanfare, Director Harold D. Smiths Budget Bureau has gone to work on one of the most im- portant of our postwar problems demobilization of our wartime gov ernment.
 The enormous size of wartime government tnearly three million full-time employees in the United States and approximately 100000 working in foreign lands) has been political football for a long time.
 Economy-minded Sen. Harry F. Byrd thinks we could lop off some thing short of half million em- ployees right now without impair ing the efficiency of our govern ment. Numerous anti-administra- ton members of Congress, up for reelection, are predicting or promis- ing there will be a cutback of up to two million employees as soon as the war is over on both fronts
 So far as the coming elections are concerned, there can't be very much political about the Budget Bureau survey and it's blueprints for demobilization. It isn't likely that the report can possibly be made public before the country goes to the polls in November. The general feeling here is that there will be only minor cutbacks in civilian government personnel when the war in Europe is over and that even after the end of global war, the reduction won't equal any, thing like two million. In other words. big government is here to stay.
 Arthur s. Flemming, who is the Republican member of the Civil Service Commission, virtually as- Sured government WOrKerS oI tllis the other day when he told a group that although there would be some reductions after V-E-day and greater ones after V-P-day, that government probably would be larger than it ever was in pre-waI times.
 Although -'lemming emphasized that neither he nor any one else could foretell the size of postwar government, the problems of de- mobilization, almost world wide re- mobilization, and our virtually cer- tain greater participation in world affairs will necessitate far more employees than before World Wal II.

The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON n.t. Col. Robert .. Allen now on active service with the ArmyO

WASHINGTON = Gov. Dewey's efficient campaign team shows the effect of something which they won't admit-namely, that he has been running for President since 1897.
 He has put his team together player by player, like good foot ball coach. There are writers, re- searchers, economists, publicists, scholars and journa lis ts Each man has his speciality, each knows he must stay in his place, not move over the line into an- other mans field.
 When Dewey and suave, tough tempered Herbert Brownell decide that the COP candidate is to make a speech, the team starts clicking There is little waste motion.
 First, the Brain Trust huddles The Brain Trust includes: indus trious, quiet, studious John Burton chief researcher and also New York State budget director; keen-eyed Elliot Bell, principal ghost-writer who is to Dewey what Colonel House was to Woodrow Wilson Personal Secretary Paul Lockwood the man with the best political sense in the encourage; tense hawk like, bespectacled young Jim Hagerty, ex-New York Times man, Hickman Powell, who describes himself as Dewey's friend" was once chief ghost writer and now occunies a somewhat minor role.
