DEWEY SPEAKS IN MINNESOTA
 ON PEACE MOVE

MINNEAPOLIS Minn., Oct. 27. -(AP)- Gov. Thomas Dewey declared Wednesday that the American participators in the world peace organization must not be subject to the reservation that would require our repre- senatives to return to Congress for authority every ime he had to make a decision.
 The governor of New York, in his first address since Roosevelt made his foreign policy speech in New York on 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 our representative to US that force. l have no the slightest doubt but that a Congress, working in part nership with the President, will achieve the results we all consid- CT essential and grant the ade- quate power for swift action to the American .representative.'
 The republican presidential nominee accused President Roosevelt of having permitted shipments to Japan of as much as three million barrels of oil per month for the blood of war to vie against China and for stor- age against the Americans, up to four months before Pearl Harbor.
 'Tet those who have cla1med to have exercised great fore sight," h said, ''remember those lessons in history and us as na- ton, never foget them.
 Dewey disregarded scheduled form speech to fill In gaps that President Roosevelt forgot"

LONDON, Oct. 27.-(AU- Field Marshal Won Model and his German troops today leaped into a counter attack on a 10-mile front against the eastern side of the British salient in Holland, af- ter a heavy artillery barrage.
 The attack spread from the Dutch town of Venlo, on the Ger man border, south to Roermond sector. This was last reported held by American forces. American armored forces ran into a wall of fire and steel while striking desperately in an attempt to re- lieve the forces caught.
 A series of tightening pincers in west Holland are being formed by the Canadians, who are fight ing on both sides of Schelde.
 The westward advances are aimed to open Antwerp and have been reinforced by the British, who landed south of Beveland, in their second attempt to land several thousand troops at Hani- weer.

PLANE TALK
BY Rowland Burnstan

The entire credit for inventing the airplane as rule is given to the Wright brothers. Orville and Wilbur Wright are the most impor- tant figures in the development of the airplane, but many pioneers in this field contributed greatly to the product which they finally de- veloped:
 It is not definitely known when the first glider flights were made. As early as 1900 when men such as Cayley, Henson and Stringfellow worked on gliders and the research which they carried on acted as guides for the Wright brothers a century later. The man who demon strated that arched wings were bet ter than flat wings was Otto Lil- ienthal. He is generally credited with having done the most for ear- ly gliding. His experiments were carefully recorded and his notes proved helpful to the men who came later.

The Nome nugget., 1944-10-27

In 1895 Octave Chanute applied for a patent on a glider which served as a pattern for the first Wright glider. Samuel Langley, who was contemporary of Cha nute, built one h.p. steam engine model plane which he succeeded in dying 4 mile, but never attained any degree of success |beyond that.
 With the help of these early ex- perimenters the Wright brothers assembled data which gave them the basis of their power-driven, man-carrying plane.

light, scattered returns from five
eW England states tonight traced
a presidential election pattern al.
most identical with that of 1910 to
give Gov. Dewey the edge over
President Roosevelt.
The figures were mostly from
tie small towns in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, ew Hampshire,
Vermont and Maine. Roosevelt,
however, was ahead in early re-
turns from Connecticut.
No reports were in from heavy
voting Boston which gave Presi-
dent Roosevelt big lie d four
years ago. Every indication at the
8 pm. (EWT) closing time was
that the balloting would be at least
as heavy as 1940's record of 348,-
1923.
Sizeable queques of voters await
ed their turn at the final hour,
and election officials ruled that all
in line at that time would be al
lowed to vote.
The first New England city to
complete its count, Meriden, Conn,
gave President Roosevelt a plur.
atty of 1900. He carried Meriden
by 1859 votes four years ago.
Maine and Vermont, republican
in past Roosevelt victories, again
favored his rival in the early
towns.
Dewey, likewise, was in the var
i'll Rhode Island but tie returns
were from republican strongholds,
and did not include areas of dem.
ocratic strength.

at-large also would be appointed

would be retained.
The board now is composed of
representative from each con-

Opposition conferred chiefly
around proposed abolition of the

The other amendments were to-:
Abolish the requirement of pri-

convey absolute title to real es.

privately, apart from her husband,
