BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 28. = The Argentine Government announced last night that it had asked the Pan American Union in Washington to call a conference of Foreign Min isters of all the American nations to consider Argentina's S international status and seek an adequate solu-' tion."
 The memorandum, forwarded to all Foreign Ministers, said, Tt has been alleged that Argentina has not fulfilled it's international obliga- tions, which fact involves problems and interests of not one country nor group of countries, but the entire continent
 The Foreign Minister said the re- quest convocation was made and handed by Argentine Charge d'Af- fairs in Washington, Roldolfo Garcia Afias, to the Pan American Union.
 The statement declared that the conference would afford all countries the opportunity to explain their points of view" and added that thus they have available all ele- ments indispensable for judgment on which to act with full knowledge" ,"

Conquest of Ruthenia Now Opens Way for Union
 with SIovdk Patriots

MOSCOW, Oct. 28 = Russi a n mountain troops are driving across the threshold of Czechoslovakia, after virtually completing the con- quest of Hungarian annexed Ru- thenia with the capture. of Umgvar, its chief city and former ecapital.
 The seizure of Umgvar gave Gen. eral Petrovs Fourth Ukrainian Army a southern terminus for a supply route through the Carpath- ian Mountains by way of Uzok Pass, for an accelerated effort to reach isolated Czechoslovak patriot forces at Banska and Bystricia, 40 miles west, now linked with the Allies only by plane.
 Gen. Cherniakhovsky's battle of attrition against the furiously fight ing Nazis in East Prussia forced the Germans out of three more village Actresses in the Ebenrode area yes terday One of them is 21 miles northwest of Insterburg, IT miles east of the main Insterburg- -Tilsit railroad.
 The only Russian progress of any consequence in East Prussia appear ed to be the secondary road west of Pillkallen, where the capture of Kussen put Cherniakhovsky's forces deep on the northern flank of enemy defenses concentrated around Gumbinnen.
 The Russian advance on Budapest from the southwest was halted sharply in the vicinity of Szolnok by the enerny's violent counter attacks in Yugoslavia.
 Other Soviet forces, aided by Tito's Partisans, captured Novi Sad, Yugoslavia's seventh city of 64,O00, on the north banks of the Danube, 42 miles northwest of fallen Bel grade.

Enemy Seapower Crushed by Growing Total of

UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS, PEARL HARBOR, Oct. 28-The Japanese probably lost 40 ships sunk or crippled in the three naval battles off the Philippines, Rear Admiral Forrest Sherman and Chief of Staff Admiral Chester W. Nimitz said.
 The navy previously announced six American war vessels were lost in the engagements, which crushed Japan's sea power.
 "The box-score is not completely filled" Admiral sherman, in a Navy Day broadcast said, but it appears that 40 Jap ships have been sunk or crippled. So far we have only the bare outlines of the story.
 "IJ seems that probably the Japa- nese will not give up the Philip pines without a hard, strenuous fight, but this success gives us bases for future operations. It will be long time before the Japanese fleet is again fit for the sea-

No news is good news, so they say
 Today there's no announcement from campaign headquarters about the up-to- minute total of. the contributions to the National War Fund. This means that number of solicitors are continuing their activities over the weekend, and that Mondays announced figure should reflect an excellent increase over yesterdays total of $7,35l.5l.
 Juneau's quota is minimum of $1O,500 in this drive throughout the United States in support of the USO, the United Seamen's Service, the Allied War Relief, the War Prisoners Aid and other agencies whose sole purpose is to take hope and encouragement, and tangible assistance also to our fighting men and to some of our allies (the peoples of China. Norway, Belgium, Holland and other devastated na- tionsD
 Several days ago, it was pointed out that gifts to the fund might be made as memorials or in honor of friends or relatives of the don ors.

WARNS FARMERS
 WHAT RETURN 10
 NEW DEAL MEANS

SYRAC USE, N. Y. Oct. 28.- Charging the New Deal with at tempting to force increased reg upon the farmers, Gov ernor Thomas F. Dewey today pledged that the Republican Party would simplify the agricultural ad- and provide firm support for farm prices.
 Declaring three square meals a day for all Americans would solve the postwar farm problem by re- quiring an even greater production of food than now. The nominee said to continue the New Deal in office would mean an eventual re- turn to the standard prices our farmers were still receiving after eight peace time years in 1940."

REPUBLICANS
 ARE BLASTED. BY ROOSEVELT.
President D DecIares COP Candidates Will Not
 Ball Unless Elected

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28-Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his fourth major speech last night for the fourth term, attributed to Re- publican politicians a deliberate, indefensible effort" to put political advantage over devotion to country or over avoidance of the agony of future wars.
 T don't think the American people will take kindly to this policy of "vote-my- way-or-I-don't- play-ball," he said.
 To the thousands in the stands at Shibe Baseball Park he gave what he called, "once and for all'' the answer to the opposition charges of unpreparedness. He pointed to the powerful warships of Admiral Halsey's Third Fleet and remarked that all it's battle wagons, all it's aircraft carriers and all but two of it's cruisers were authorized by his administra- ton before Pearl Harbor.
 It was close to the end of his speech when Roosevelt said Re- publican politicians were clearly initiating" the party members in Congress who would not cooperate in the event of Democratic elec- tion victory, in establishing world organization for peace. That, 1t seems to me, is a deliberate and indefensible effort to place poli- tical advantage, not only above de- votion to country, but also above the very deep desire to avoid the death and destruction that would be caused by future wars"
 Roosevelt gave this promise When the great job of winning the war is done our men in the armed forces are to be demobillzed and returned to their homes just as rapidly as possible. The War and Navy Departments are pledged to that. I am pledged to that very law of this land, which was passed by Congress. There are no strings attached to that pledge"

 George Meany, AFL Secretary Treasurer, in disclosing the AFL's decision, said Chairman Davis "in- vited" the Federation to change its mind or withdraw from the board.
 Meany said the AFL, at the moment, didn't plan to do either one. Meany added they wouldn't participate in the VILE wage cases, involving demands in excess of the Little Steel Formula until an over all decision is made on the for mula itself.

LONDON, Oct. 28. = The whole German stand in Southwestern Hol- land is collapsing, dispatches from the front declared, as British and Canadian columns raced toward the enemy's last escape bridges in an effort to cut off, perhaps 10000 Nazi troops
 Below the Maas River, the Can adians seized the Germans western anchor at Bergen Op zoom without fight and hit within a mile of the stronghold of Roosendaal.
 Close in on BastiOn
 British Army troops closed within five miles of the central bastion of Breda, after winning Ilburg as well as Shretogenbosch. The German defense line below Maas has fallen to pieces one front dispatch de- clared. Another said Allied armor and infantry was moving ahead so rapidly Marshal Von Model either had to push back across the bridges at Moerdijk, ten miles northwest and northeast of Breda or have his reeling forces cut to bits"
 Antwerp Is Prize
 Allied Headquarters said free use of the port of Antwerp is the prize sought in this campaign. It is now blocked only by the isolated, doom ed coastal guns, one battery at Wis singen on Walcheren Island, and one on the main Allied front fac- ing east.
 The United States First Army troops were subjected to light ar tillery fire in the Aachen area and to the south along the Belgian from tier, east of Stvit and as far to the south, communique reported, slight gains were made on the AL lied Sixth Army group front, fight ing in the vicinity of Uervillers.
