 Gen. Hap Arnold said that an aerial arm will be built up to carry the air war into the heart of Germany and Japan"
 The Army has long been plan ming "an all out" punch on the Japs in the Marshalls.
 It was disclosed that 50 American divisions have reached the fighting fronts and eight more will sail this month.
 Nimitz, in discussing the general drive in the westward Pacific, said that completion of the seizure of the island of Palau will isolate the Japs in the Carolines and render the Truk base next to useless" It will also put the Tanks in positions for strong communications between Japan proper and Japan's conquer ed territories of New Guinea and the Dutch East Indies.

By DREW PEARSON Gt. Col. Robert s. Allen now on activ, service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON = Officials have been trying to keep it quiet, but plans have been completed for using the gigantic Ford Willow Run bomber plant for constructive postwar peace.
 It can now be revealed that Ford plans to use Willow Run as the largest agricultural implement production center in the world Principal product will be a new self -propelling blow, complete with harrow and other attachments, to sell at about $40O This and similar farm equipment which Ford plans to produce at low prices may well revolutionize small farming, give the little farmer a chance to en- joy more leisure and the benefits of civilization.
 Inside fact is that Ford for years has tried to work out way to produce the cheap Ferguson tractor at a low enough price to capture a market of millions.
 Ford first met Scotch tractor inventor Harry Ferguson about Is years ago. Ferguson told Ford about his low-price tractor, showed him the plans.
 You're ten years ahead of time, Ford told him. Come back and see me ten years from now"
 As Ferguson left, Ford ordered

Special Crashes Into An other Passenger Train
 Nominee Injured

BU ETIN - ABOARD DEWEY SPECIAL TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO PORTLAND, Sept. I9. = Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's special train ploughed into the rear of regular Great Northern passenger train one mile north of Castle Rock at 11:50 o'clock this forenoon, injuring several persons and severely shaking up Coy. Dewey and Mrs. Dewey.
 The thirteen-car special train, travelling nearly four hours late out of Seattle, ran into the back end of the regular passenger train that stopped at the scene of the collision between two freight trains last night.
 No immediate indication as to how serious the nominee and Mrs. Dewey is has been issued. The two were in their bedroom aboard the special train at the time of the collision.
 Paul Lockwood, secretary to the Governor, said Dewey was shaken severely.
 The jolt of the collision threw reporters working in an adjacent press car to the floor, injuring several of them slightly.
 The Dewey special train was travelling at approximately 55 miles an hour said E. A. Wells, engineer, and when he saw the other passenger train ahead ap- piled the emergency aid brakes but not in time to avoid crash.

SCOW, Sept. 19.-Grinding down German armored reserves at the rate of nearly enc panzer d. vision a day, the Red Army tight ened it's strangling grip on the enemy's mid Baltic communications at Latvia in a gigantic five day battle which may be another full fillment of Stalins classic strategy tc surround and destroy.
 Front reports indicate there is still no pause in the ferocious en- gagement which began Friday west of Jelgava. where main Baltic roads and railways meet. The Russians claim to have knocked out 449 tanks and 365 planes on the east ern front during the past four days. Obviously most of this punishment was inflicted in the Baltic sector.
 The fate of the German north ern army group, still estimated at more than 20 divisions, may be de- cided in the next few hours or days if the Nazis fail to keep open the lifeline from East Prussia through the Jelgava area to forces in east ern Latvia and the Estonia coastal corridor, little more than 20 miles wide now, which connects the Ger mans above Riga with those hold ing western Latvia and western Lithuania
 The Russians once snapped this lifeline by plunging to the sea, but the Germans reestablished it by heavy fighting.
 Official silence screened the de- tails of the Soviet-PoliSh opera tions in the Warsaw area, but the German strong points at the Capi- tai continued under heavy Russian artillery fire.

THE CORY DETAILS

Nothing under the midnight sun has ever been seen in Alaska that so far from resembled a ball game as did last nights fraeas between the Rotary Fifth Columnists and the Chamber of Commerce LOy- alists. Tine players looked like a group of fugitives from masquer- ade and everyone went by their own rules, which were certainly not those prescribed in any of the outstanding sporting guides but then it did make everything a little more "chummy."
 The only outstanding thing that happened during the game was Perry Hilleary's sensational catch at the end of the first inning. Hil- leary looked "out of this world" as he went flying through the air with his arms outstretched, waiting for the little white apple to drop into his gloved hand
 Wee Willie Whitehead was ex- tremely' dashing in his "all white" creation, and the crowd was on edge all evening waiting for him to perform the operation which he was obviously dressed to do.
 Hank Harmon was presented with Q cigar in the second inning by Hermann of tte Juneau Drug (and the. Chamber of Commerce. for walking one of their players.
 Scotty Adams, Ed Shaffer and Waino Hendrickson sold pop in the grandstand, the proceeds from which were to go towards paying the players doctor bills.
 Jack Fletcher handled Jerry Mo- Kinley's public address system, and the English (niD wit had the grandstand in convulsions. Lieut. L. Shaffer of the Sub-Port, with Jack Burford acting as kibitzer, took the game to the world over radio station KINY's mike.
 The charming contestants for the Miss Liberty crown were among the celebrities present and they were introduced to their public during the course of the evening.
 By the looks of things. the Chamber of Commerce and Rotary members must have either sold a lot of bonds or distributed bunch of free tickets, because the grand

alike refer to the New York
governor as "Tom"-some with

ship.
Despite the enervating heat
and short notice, a hastily called
civic celebration brought nearly
1000 residents to a main street
celebration last night of Dewey's
COP convention victory in Chi
cago. Dewey, who had disavow-
ed his candidacy for the nomina-
ton before the convention, had
asked OwoSsoans to refrain from
any activity in his behalf.
News OF Dewey's selection
earlier in the day had caused
no great fuss, but noise makers
took over for a brief hour later
on a blocked = off downtown
street as the city officially ac-
knowledged the fact that an
Owosso-born man might become
President.
Urchins and groWn-ups tramp
ed about with signs saying The
Peoples President-Tom Dewey.

midnight last night.
Dewey was asked specifically
if he welcomes the editorial
support of the Chicago Trib-
une," which once criticized HIS
views on foreign policy. There
was laugh from the reporters.
Smilingly, Dewey replied:
Il don't know that l have the
editorial support of the Tribune.
| shall welcome the support of
every good American in the
whole United States"
The nomine sat on table and
pulled a cigarette holder,
much after the Franklin d.
Roosevelt fashion, while the re-
porterS asked their questions.
One query was how he
planned to reach the service
men with campaign appeals.
Dewey replied that had not
yet been determined.
you don't have an airplane
all fitted out, do YOU" One of
the neWsmcn asked, obviously
abiding to the QUILTING of a
plane which President Roose-
welt might use, although the
White House has said it was not
done for that specific purpose.
NO" Dewey grinned, But
l came out here yesterday in a
very good one"
Dewey covered a wide range
of issues in answer to ques-
tons. He said he had read the
Republican platform only once
while he was enroute here b.
planc-and that 1T represents

Referring TO DeWey's promise
TO gather young men around

meant he would discharge Sec
