!. ". Smifh Meeis Death
 By Drowning

CORDOVA, Alaska, Sept. 8.-This community was saddened again yes- terday afternoon by the sudden passing of one of the oldest pion- eers, Lew H. Smith, who drowned near his cabin at the mouth of the Eyak river while on duck hunting trip.
 A sudden lunge of his skiff when he started his outboard motor ap- parently threw him off balance and causing him to fall overheard. Many boatmen and fishermen are still dragging the muddy Eyak for the body.
 Pioneer Spirit
 Smith was born March IS, 1872, in Ottawa, Minn., which itself was on the frontier at that time. The pioneer spirit in his blood, he sought new adventures in Califor- mia in '98. He headed for Valdez in 1908 but he and his partner met man on the steamer who talked in glowing terms of prospecting on the Susitna When fall came the two came to Cordova but moved almost at once into Chitina because the building of the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad made the local district too civilized. He kept six months ahead of steel, all the way to the famous Kennecott mines.
 Later Smith joined the gold stampede into the Chisana where he prospected and freighted over Scolai Pass for two and one-half years.
 In 1916, Smith settled down in Cordova and began working in the railroad shops.
 Two Business Fires
 He married Mrs. Ida Freeman ill 1917 and started the first photo shop here The shop was burned out in 1927. Then he engaged in ladies wear shop until 1939 when that store also burned
 Despite his 72 years, he was an active sportsman. He loved his cabin on the flats" and it was a meeting place for sportsmen. He always took in the duck hunting season.
 Survivors are his wife and step daughter, Mrs. Clyde Ihrig, of Seattle, who had just arrived here for her first visit in several years.

DEWEY TALKS
 TONIGHT IN
 LOUISVILLE
Makes Accusations in Cam paign Address Given
 in Philadelphia

ENROUTE WEST WIT H DEWEY, Sept. 8. - World peace, h:.,.sit. on the framework of an in- ternational organization in which small nations will have a propor- tionate voice, is expected to be urged tonight by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in Louisville in his second major address.
 He closeted himself today with his advisers as the campaign train steamed toward politically doubtful Kentucky.
 A ringing denunciation in Phila- delphia last night charged that he was tired and exhausted with the quarreling and pickering" of the New Deal who is trying to keep men overlong in the Armed Forces to lessen unemployment at the wars end
 Dewey Assertions
 Dewey asserted the Administra- tion is afraid of America getting all set for another depression" He told a cheering audience of 13,OOO that the basic issue was clearly re- vealed by a recent announcement by the Director of Selective Service in Washington, that when Germany and Japan are defeated it will still be necessary to demobilize the Armed Forces very gradually"
 And why?" he said Because we, can keep people in the Army about as cheaply as we could ere ate an agency for them when they are out"
 Charging that the New Deal by l940 had been in power for seven straight years with still 10,00o,OO0 unemployed, he declared that it took World War to get jobs for American people, and now Wash ington is getting all set for another depression. They intend to keep the young men in the Army"

LITTLE COMMENT BY FDR

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Roose- welt, in commenting on Dewey's ac- cusation that the Administration is "a tired, quarrelsome defeatist," !" said that he had stated before he would like to go back to Hyde Park, but not because he is tired or de- feated.
 During barrage of questions at the news conference about the Dewey speech, he said he did not listen, but that a member of the family told him about it. He said that while he had read half of it he did not feel competent to com- ment.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ,Lt Col. Robert 6. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON = Erudite Cover nor Ellis Arnall of Georgia is the first man to get direct from the Presidents own lips the explana- tion as to why he did not support Vice President Wallace for re- nomination.
 The explanation came about this way. After Arnall had put up a hard-f listed, surrender fight for Wallace at Chicago, and car ried the entire Georgia delegation with him, ex-Governor Talmadge and his friends began jibing Ar nall about betting on the wrong horse. They put out the idea that he had been left holding the bag, that the President had told him that he was for Wallace (which he definitely did) and then double crossed him.
 The President heard about the Talmadge jibes and asked Arnall

GREAT ASSAULT FRONT

LONDON, Sept. 8.--Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's Allied battle team broke the Albert Canal, and the line is now closed up to Liege and Metz. Advances have carried them within 25 miles of the German frontier at three points along the 200 mile assault front.
 To complete the picture of the menace to Hitler's Reich, Gen. Patch's northbound Seventh Army stabbed within 50 miles of the Bel fort Gap, the pathway to south western Germany.
 There is apparent desperation along the whole buffer front be- tween the Siegfried Line and the Rhine.
 Fierce Fighting
 The Germans are putting up their fiercest fight since Normandy along the Moselle River where Pat tons Third Army is battling into Metz, 20 miles from the German west wall. Patrols, which slugged their way into the City of Nancy, and Pattons right flank were forced to withdraw, but clung firm ly, however, to Toul, eleven miles west.
 Cross Albert Canal
 The British Second Army crossed the Albert Canal into Beeringen, and the First Army captured Huy on the Mouse after new cross ing of the stream. It is note-s worthy that neither of these thrusts met more than medium re- sistance. There were no massive fortified positions.
