LONDON, Sept. 23-Adolf Hitler's name is not yet on the list of war criminals prepared by the Allies.
 Two London newspapers made this astonishing revelation in their editions today.
 This came amid increasing fears of observers here that the Allied War Crimes Commission is getting involved in legalistic confusion in deciding how to deal with the Nazi leaders instead of coming out flat-footedly for punishment by death.
 Both the London Daily Mail and the News-C Chronicle takes cogniz- ance of the statement of United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull denying that Hitler and other Nazi leaders have been left off the

 Them What Is Cominq

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED ExPEDITIONAR Y FORCES, Sept. 23-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower today barred his policy of dealing with occupied Germany.
 The policy has two-fisted firm ness in stampinng out the infamous reign of Hitler and the Nazis and is already in effect in conquered German towns. -sH D
 The Allied Supreme Commander minced no words in proclaiming the death penalty for Germans who aid the Nazis in any way"

LARGE CROWD
 HEARS DEWEY LAST NIGHT.
Nominee Would Extend Social Security A1t to
 Cover More People

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey pledged a social security ogram to encompass 10000 900 persons, who are not now protected, in his talk here last night.
 Dewey hurried through round of conferences here before board ing his special train for Oklahoma City for the last major speech in his campaign swing.
 l In the Los Angeles Stadium the nominee told a cheering throng of 90 000 that Americans had learned to work together so well in war they would determine to cooper ate and see the aged, the i'll and the unemployed had security in the future Spurred on in his fight against the New Deal by nearly a score of Hollywood movie leaders and stars, Dewey, dressed in an immaculate light gray suit, spoke from a lag-festooned dias with a 60-foot American flag for back drop. High above, atop the stadium, burned a torch, first lighted for the 1882 Olympic Games.
 This was by far the largest crowd to hear any of his speeches. Dewey started off by saying turnabout was demonstrated California is determined to win free government here at home"
 Points Made
 1 In making points on his social security legislation, Dewey said the original act was passed by a non-p partisan vote of overwhelming proportions in 1885, Just once in the nine years since has there been any attempt to improve and ex- tend the social security program adopted in 1885. Few changes have been made, although there has been many recommendations since then, but there have been no re- suits, men and women everywhere are eager for concrete, definite pro- posals."
 Dewey's Program
 He offered this program: CD Expansion of old age and surviv- ors' insurance to provide coverage of farmers, domestic workers, en- ployees of non-profit enterprises, self-employed persons, government workers and members of the armed forces whose benefits will be re- duced by their service. CD Widen ing of unemployment insurance to include the groups now unpro- tected." (3) Return of the employ ment service to the states and merger of the unemployment agen- cies. (4) Development in coopera- tion with "a free and independent medical profession, means for as- surance of medical service to those of our citizens who need it and cannot otherwise obtain it." (5) Establishment of a state and local communities information service to tell veterans where to get jobs and how to get benefits under the GI bill and how to continue their edu- cation
