LONDON, Sept. 13.-United States war planning chiefs reported to- night that they had established October 31 as the tentative out side" date of the collapse of organ ized resistance in Germany without discounting the possibility that vic- tory may came more quickly.

 General MacArthurs communique also disclosed that Far Eastern Air Force planes had struck else- where, with power and precision, along a wide, arc, stretching from Palau, east to the Philippines and deep into the Moluccas. They sank one medium sized freighter, forced another ashore, and destroyed or damaged four other enemy vessels.
 Dutch Celebes is big island west of New Guinea and south of Min danao in the Southern Philippines. Like Halmahera it has been Jap anese bastion. Heavy bombers raided the island in the Manado area, cratering the airdrome runways and setting fire to barracks with 210 tons of explosives. Waterfront in stallations were hard hit also. There was no interception although ack- ack was evident over the town of Manado.

The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Lt. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-B British govern ment leaders aren't saying any thing about it, but Roosevelt has been tipped off by Churchill that immediately after the fall of Ger many a general election will be held in England.
 In fact, Churchill's conservative Party leaders have already sent instructions down to their borough leaders to begin organizing for a national election.
 Churchills party strategists have already had conferences with lead CTS of the Labor Party and have sought their support for con- tinuation of future coalition gov ernment. The labor leaders of the Churchill cabinet, however, have said no. They believe that after the war, Labor should go on its own and should not be tied ur with the Conservative Party.
 Conservative leaders, however figure that the rank and file o1 the Labor Party will not follow their leaders but, instead, will fol- low Churchill. They believe that the Labor Party is not ready to desert the Coalition.
 Churchill's move in calling the general election immediately after the armistice is considered very shrewd timing. Today he is popu- lar in England. A few months from now he may not be. The British Prime Minister will stand on his war record, and his cooperation with Roosevelt will not be played down as one reason why he should be returned to power. It is ex- pected that the Conservative Party will win without too much diffi- culty.
