Republican Preside dentid| Candidate Arrives in
 Wyoming Today

SHERIDAN, Wyoming, Sept. IA. --Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, arriving for a conference with Wyoming Republican leaders, told crowd of 500 at the railway station that the voters this year are going down the road of New Deal regimentation or going up the Republican road of free society where we can achieve security and jobs for all"
 The nominee explained he was not making speeches this week but seeing people"
 All the way from Michigan to Oregon he was asserting the New Deal had failed to cope with un- employment in the pre-war years. Dewey said, "one man managed to make the depression last II years and that was an incredible record" :"
 There is strong Republican bid for the service vote apparently in the offing but unless Dewey changes his plans he probably will not visit any Army or Navy installations to make direct appeals.

CITY SIDEWALKS
 ARE TO BE BROWN

In the future Juneau's wood side walks will have a brown tinge to them. According to an announcement from City Engineer, Hugh Antrim, an order has been placed for a shipment of a wood preservative to be used on walks ond stairways.
 Wood for new walks is to be treat ed before the walk is built, being put on with spray gun, and some of the older walks that are not in too bad condition are to be spray ed by the same method.
 The cost of the preservative, ac- cording to Antrim will be but one cent a square foot plus the cost of labor. Present walks last only from three to five years and it is ex- pected that application of the pre- servative, which has copper base, will double the life of the wood
 The preservative was first per- fected in Denmark and is said to resist both marine bores and fungus. It is known commercially, as a penetrator, as the liquid soaks through the wood and does not merely seal the surface.

ALLIED MIGHT .I5 TESTED ON ITALY FRONT

ROME, Sept. 14.-The Fifth Army is battering forward to the edges Of the Nazi Gothic Line in Italy on a 25-mile front, where enemy resist ance is increasing tremendously" :" Future gains will be the test of Allied might against the German will to resist" Allied Headquarters said.
 Gen. Mark Clark's Fifth Army now includes several British divisions which cracked through German out posts all along the western sector of the front, between Pistoia and Lucca.
 On the Adriatic sector, British, Canadian and Indian troops broke a stalemate of several days in the Corlano, San Savino area and ad- vanced a thousand yards against fierce opposition.
 Further south, British forces re- captured two bitterly contested points, about a thousand yards northwest of Croce, and continued to forge ahead.
 Headquarters emphasized that the Gothic Line is really defense zone. and for several miles in depth is studded with many concrete em- placements.

AYR FORCE VETS
 DIE iN INDIANA
 TRAIN COLLISION

TERRE HAUTE, Indiana, Sept 14.-At least 25 persons were killed and about 65 injured in collision of two Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad passenger trains near here
 Virtually all the dead and injured were soldiers. The trains, the crack Dixie Flier, southbound, and the other a mail and express train, crashed head-on in heavy fog. The engine, tender, two baggage cars and the first g Pullmans of the Dixie Flier left the track and piled up along the roadway. All cars of the other train held the track.
 The first two Pullmans of the Flier carried only soldiers. A major who declined to give his name. said that all the men were overseas Air Force veterans, most of whom wore the Purple Heart. He said they had had 30-day furloughs after which they had been taken to redistribu- ton centers.
 In the wreckage along the track lay many Purple Heart decorations and Air Medals.

BURMALAND
 SUppLYR0AD I5 NOW SEEN
Tengthung, in Japanese Hands for Two Years,
 Retdptured by China

CHUNGKING, Sept. IA. - The Chinese Command announced the recapture of Tengchung from the Japanese, saying this, marks an- other big point in the effort to clear the area west of the Salween River and removes another obstacle towards reopening of the Burma Road"
 The fall of the city, held by the Japs for two years, and once their Yunnan Province headquarters, is a significant gain in the first real Chinese offensive in more than sev- en years of war It was four months and three days ago that the Chin csc, aided by American elements of the Fourteenth Air Force opened the Salween push.
 The clearing of Tengchung goes far toward accomplishing the of fensive to reopen the Burma Road to China and join with General Joseph Stilwell's forces in Northern Burma by an open land supply route from blockaded China.
 Tengchung is 35 miles from the Burma border and 65 miles west of the Salween River bridge. Before the Chinese can effectively use the Burma Road they must wipe out remaining enemy opposition im- mediately west of the Salween Riy- CT bridge and eliminate the Japs in the Lungling and Mangshih areas.

CONFERENCE AT
 QUEBEC AWAITS
 EDEN'S ARRIVAL
Hiqh Command in Pacific Has Not Come Up for
 Discussion

QUEBEC, Sept. 14.-Bringing an up to the minute report on the European political situation, British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden is on his way from London to join Roosevelt and Churchill at the con- ference. Overcast weather made Eden's exact arrival time uncertain.
 Only yesterday Eden conferred with Premier Mikolajzyk of the Pol ish Government-ir-E Exile. It is con sidered highly probable that rela- tions between Russia and neighbor- ing Poland will be an important topic in, his brief case.
 A formal statement by Roosevelt and Churchill outlining Allied ob- jectives in the war with Japan, be- fore they part this weekend ap- peared possible as the conference entered it's final phase.
 It can now be reported from re- liable sources that the combined chief of staff problem of one Pacific command was settled before the President and Churchill sat down together. The question of hemi- sphere Pacific Commander has not arisen and will not be considered because for the immediate, stages of the Pacific war command is all ready wrapped up in the red tape of official approval. This is not interpreted to mean that before the Japs' ultimate defeat a strategic commander will not be needed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-Rep- resentative Knutson, Republican from Minnesota, has demanded in the House to know whether Navy plane or destroyer was sent from Seattle to the Aleutians to pick up President Roosevelt's Scotty Fala, who was reported left in the Islands by mistake.
 Recently, Knutson asked if a destroyer had been sent to get the dog, and House Minority Leader Mccormack, Democrat from Mas sachusetts, replied that Navy of- ficials denied the report. Today the Minnesota Republican asked Mc- Cormack to get the facts from Ad- miral William D. Leahy and answer his question about the plane trip

(By ASSOclateu FreSS))
 A great Atlantic hurricane, de- scribed as one of the most dan gerous in recent years, has veered northward from Wilmington, North Carolina, after menacing the North Carolina coast, and roared past Cape Hatteras.
 Gales swept the coastal area, exceeding 60 miles an hour at Morehead City. near the big U. S. Marine Corps base at Cherry Point. Developments are obscured by a lack of communications.
 The weather Bureau said that if storms at the present indicated movements continue, "the center should cross the islands in the southeastern coastal sections of New England by tonight"
 The New York Weather Bureau cautioned against scare reports" and said that the storm wouldn't reach New York today and might not do so at all.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Ut Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON Repub lie Il party big-wigs are not advertising it, but they are tremendously en- couraged by the way Governor Dewey has taken off the gloves and sailed into the Roosevelt Ad- ministration. Dewey advisers now confide that the blunders of the Administration are their secret weapon Every dispute among top officials will be COP political am munition.
 Dewey's inner circle say they are not too concerned over the fact that public opinion polls show Dewey running an increasingly poor second They point out that Dewey laid low" during July and August, is now beginning a whirl- wind two-months campaign to win in November.
 The Dewey boys won't make it public, but they received orders to route his trip so he will not stop in small cities to make thous- ands of little speeches from the back end of the train. They have even kept the route secret so the Dewey special will not stop in small towns. Only places where Dewey will make back platform talks will be when the train has to stop for refueling or switching.
 In 1940 Willkie made thousands of these back-platform talks, tried to speak to every little group of farmers along the way Result was that Willkie exhausted himself, wore out his voice during the early part of the day, came to his prin- cipal meetings with no punch left. He spent himself on small crowds while vast mass meetings of many thousands and radio audience of millions awaited him at night, by which time he was exhausted.
 Dewey has studied Willkie's mis- takes, will not repeat them if he can help it.

AIR ATTACK .|S UNDERWAY
 NEAR MANILA
Pacific Fleet Force Rains DestruCtion-Rd
 on Kuriles
By WILLIAM L. WORDEN

UNITED STATES F A c Fl C FLEET HEADQUARTERS, PEARL HARBOR DelayedD, Sept. 13-Am- erican carrier based aircraft rode full tilt Monday against the west central Philippines, destroying at least 200 Japanase planes in a continuing action against stiffening opposition.
 Three islands-Cebu, Panay, Ne gros-and all of northwest Min danao, which carrier planes mauled only three days previously, were the targets. Admiral Chester w. Nimitzs announcement of the slashing attack indicated that it was still underway. Fragmentary reports failed to give the American action losses in the Pacific
 The communique followed the Japanese radio reports of the con- tinuing raids which apparently re- ferred to the same series of aerial encounters. Contrasting recent de- tailed statements, the communiques said that only several cargo ships and small craft were sunk in the attacks; 50 Japanese aircraft were downed and 150 more destroyed on the ground. Nimitz reported that no mention was made of specific targets.
 Near Manila
 This second attack on the Philip pines took American aircraft within about 200 miles of Manila. The Cebu, Panay and Negros islands are among the most productive of the Philippines.
 Neither Palau nor Yap, Japanese bases on the eastern flank of the Philippines, were mentioned in the communique. This is a strong con- trast from the last several days when Palau was reported as taking heavy beating from carrier based aircraft, battleships and cruisers.
 Raid On Kuriles
 Four mort hern Kurile islands were attacked by single planes Sunday and Monday.
 The American planes, presumably based in the Aleutians, hit Para mushiro, ShumuShu, Onnekotan and Araito A medium cargo vessel and four smaller ships were sunk in Shumushu harbor. Two dam aged Army bombers which staged this raid were intercepted by Jap anese fighters and one bomber was damaged at Paramushiro. Two cargo ships were hit and fires started on the southeast coast and small craft lying off-shore were strafed. A Japanese fighter was downed east of Onnekotan. Ware houses were left in flames after attacks by Navy Venturas in the raids on all four islands.

CONGREssMEN TO LONDON

SOlN0hLo0NAEIN 4O LOlNDOIN
 Without any publicity, the British Government has quietly moved to improve British good will by ar ranging air transportation for six Congressmen to London. They will inspect the damage done by the robot blitz, and take side trips into France.
 The British Embassy did not act ually invite the Congressmen to come to England, but made a point of letting three Republicans and three Democrats know that seats on British planes leaving New York for London were available.
 First pair to go were Represen- tatives James Richards, South Carolina Democrat, and Karl Mundt, South Dakota Republican They were followed by Democratic Congressman Brooks Hays of Ar kansas and Republican Walter Judd of Minnesota. The latter trip may be significant since it oc- cured only a few days after these two had introduced their resolu- ton calling for bipartisan con- sideration of the peace terms by this country.
 The last pair includes Republi- can Walt Horan of Washington and Democrat Chet Holifield of California. Holifield, incidentally was planning a quick trip over
