RED STAR LAUDS
U. S. WAR DRIVE
Russian Army Paper De-
votes Half Page to Re-
view Production

Moscow, April 2O-(UP)-Red
Star, the Russian army organ, de-
voted a half page today to praising
the American war effort and re-
viewing "the tremendous production
achievements" of the United States.
when the final offensive against
Hitler opens" Red Star said, "the
war production Of the American
people will tell to the outmost and
will play a great role In the rout of
Hitlertie Germany.
1.-THE Germans made a great mis-
take in strategy. They not only
underestimated the might of the
Red Army but they underestimate
the war effort of the United States.
When war was declared in Decem-
Der, 1941, the Fascists anticipated
that the United States, despite its
economic might and great war po-
tential, would not be able to affect
the progress of hostilities. But the
United States war production has
been on an unprecedented scale.
"The United States successfully
solved the basic problems of mill
tary and economic mobilization of
strategic war materials and l"'?cr
power and the regulation Of wal
economy"

DEWEY 10 TO |
MICHIGAN SHOT
Resolution Endorses New
York Governor; Dele
gates Not Instructed

Detroit, April 20-(UP)-A resolu-
ton endorsing but not formally
pledging support in the presidential
race to Machigan-born Gov. Thorn
as E. Dewey Of New York today was
prepared for introduction at the
Michigan Republican spring con-
vention.
The resolution said that Dewey,
q native Of Owosso, Mich, "has
made such an outstanding record
in two years" that opinion favoring
his draft for the presidency was
sweeping the country"
However, the resolution did not
commit the states Al national con-
venticn delegates to vote for Dewey.
It said only that they should bear
in mind. that he is the ten-to-
one favorite of the voters Of this
state as the presidential nominee"
After the II district caucuses
name two delegates each to the ma
tional convention and two alter
mates each, the general convention
will select seven delegates-at-large
and like number Of alternates.
Keynoter Gov. Leverett Salton-
stall Of Massachusetts warned the
convention against over-confidence
and said that the party faces an
uphill fight in the November cleo
tons.
I'VE Republicans want our coun-
try to be governed from the bottom
up and not from the top down." he
said.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-04-20

In similar contest two years
ago Mr.. Tobin deseated Mr.. Wallace
in q like manner taking nine out
Of the II districts but winning by
a greater plurality, that Of SIS
votes.
The primary in the 18th dis
trict was a Formally. Edward p.
Egan, former senator from the 10th
district, faced no opposition and
will be formally nominated as the
coming convention. He had the
support Of the City Hall admins
tration.
Comparatively speaking, Senator
Tobin revealed source Of strength
greater than that displayed in
many years in Waterbury by any
similar independent" candidate
and today it was conceded that he
had accomplished a tremendous
task in opposing as strongly as he
had the combined organizations Of
the city administration and the
Democratic party.
Similarly Mr.. Wallace gained
greatly in prestige, it was felt, par
ticularly because he was aware, at
the time he entered the race, Of an
approximate value of his opponents
strength and ''difncult-to-beat'
type Of support, yet pressed on to
reverse the tables In q manner SIM
liar to that by which he was de-
feated by the same opponent two
years ago.
It was generally conceded yester-
day that If much greater vote
was polled at yesterdays contest
than had been forthcoming two
years ago, that tie majority Of
such a vote would favor Mr.. Wal
lace, and this proved to be true. 1t
had been similarly conceded two
years ago, that as result of the last
minute ,"too-late" candidacy Of yes
terday'S victory, many voters in the
18th district had failed to vote at
all. However, yesterdays greater poll
OF votes did not detract from the
show of strength by Senator Tobin
whom the figures reveal picked up
much Of this heavier polling. Yes
terday'S total vote was 1878 an in
crease of 1899 over two years ago.
Senator Tobin won district ST.
and So with Mr.. Wallace taking
the remainder although district Al
revealed a startling final count of
50 for Wallace and 81 for .Tobin
OF odd interest is the fact that the
total vote in district Al yesterday
was greater than the cast in the
city primary election last fall when
Mayor Monagan defeated William
]. Cavanaugh.
Senator Tobin paid his respects
to the victor last night and called
Mr.. Wallace at the latter's head
quarters following the conceding Of
the victory. Mr.. Tobin congratu-
lated his opponent and Mr.. Wallace
thanked him for his expression.

Bumps Leads With His Thumb
TN MY time l have seen some plain an fancy black
ewes - on me an others. An / have heard about
all the alibis there are.
If hadn't seen Bumps Rafferty, get the
sinner he's trying to explain, don't think
would have believed it myself. But here's the
gospel truth about how it happened.
Night before last Bumps parked his truck outside
an came droopin' in for cup of coffee.
"Wally,"~he says Il must be comm down with
cold. got tired feelin' an my heads stopped up
.'You ought to take care of yourself better" l
say to him. The kind of hours you keep that job
would kill horse Want some hot lemonade?"
Bumps shuddered at the idea of lemonade an said
he'd take coffee l set it out for him an he put in
sugar enough to give the ration board the shudders.
IT's Bumps habit to use his right thumb as spoon
guard An Just as he started to sip his coffee he
sneezed. The spoon handle caught him under the
right eye, bounced out of the cup an splashed coffee
all over me an him an the counter.
When we got things wiped up looked at Bumps
an laughed.
"You got beautiful sinner from that spoon"
tell him. an 20 get mirror so he for himself.
We put a piece of steak on it an Bumps leaves,
forpettin' his bad cold in the worry about how he
is goin' to explain that eye.
Well. last nigh, he back in again An
what do YOU think? The other eye is black, too!
How did that happen? Did you get left-handed?'
ask him.
81 got this one the honest way" Bumps says.
"A puv called me liar when told him the truth
about the other one." -WMlY bOREN

Gilbert Gets
Remdtch With
Howell King

AL Gilbert, square jawed Wash
ington veteran of the middle
weight ranks, will make his de-
but here in the Arcadia ring Mon
day night. hoping to repeat the
victory he scored over Howell
King of Detroit two years ago,
when they clash in the 1O-round
headliner.
King has turned in a number of
good performances since he re-
turned to home pastures. lie
fought Gilbert in Portland, Me,
two years ago, accepting the fight
at the last moment when Gilbert's
original opponent disappeared.
On the floor twice in the early
rounds, King got up and was win
ming handily in the later stages,
but the affair ended before he
could run up enough points to Off
set his earlier disadvantage.
A strong supporting card, topped
by the six-round semiwindup be-
tween Eddie Taylor and Charley
Roth, has been arranged by match
maker Scotty Strachan.
Roth holds the distinction of
being the only fighter to beat Tay-
Tor since the crowd pleasing light
heavy turned pro. They met on
the Arcadia card, Roth winning
after a rough six rounds. This time
Roth will come in at 1873 pounds,
but still will have about 10 pounds
edge.
Sam Hughes. who scored three
straight kayoes before losing a
close decision to Johnny LaWer
two weeks ago, will meet Buster
Peaks, a seasoned middleweight,
in the siX-round main preliminary.
