ENROUTE TO LOS ANGELES WITH DEWEY, Sept. 22-Pounding away at the theme that the nation needs regulation without regimenta- tion, Governor Thomas E. Dewey re-phrased his speech on social security problems as he travelled South for his fourth West Coast campaign address tonight. He also scheduled meetings with aircraft and motion picture leaders.
 Since the first talks of his cam paign, the one at San Francisco last night gave a definite impress sion that he had already gone far ther toward accepting more New Deal innovations in government than any other COP presidential candidate i'll recent years. He had previously endorsed the National Labor Relations Act, Unemployment Insurance, Old Age Pensions, and Price Control in wartime.
 Last night he told an audience of l5,00o that the days of dog eat dog national economy were never coming back again" but added the New Deal can see only two pos abilities for America; ever increas- ing regimentation as one alterna- tive and reaction on the other

GI TOURS OF EUROPE

Most of the troops will be ex- cused from drill, will be given ample opportunity to see Europe while awaiting transports for home. Men who desire it will be taken on tours of the Continent under Army auspices.
 A Guided Tours of Europe program is being worked out as a result of the experience, after the last war, of American doughboys who returned home having seen only the battle fronts plus the gay side of Paris. This time officials are anxious to let the boys learn something more of the people and places they have been fighting for.
 Some CTS will be given an op- portunity to go to school in Europe, attend universities such as the Sorbonne, Oxford, Cambridge. The Army will also organize classes for the younger CTS who want to pick up their studies during the brief period after the armistice before they return home.
 The War Department recognizes it will be no easy job to get the Army home all at once. However, both Roosevelt and Gen. Marshall have emphasized the need for speeding discharges and, with no submarine warfare to cope with

The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW. PEARSON Gt. Col Robert S. Allen now on active service with the ArmyD

WASHINGTON-The War De- partment isn't advertising the de- tails but it has completed plans for the occupation of Germany by American forces.
 The Allies have agreed the oc- cupation should be shared ln roughly equal numbers by U. S.. British and Soviet forces. This will permit the return to the United States of maximum number of units, will also free thousands of trained men if necessary for polish ing off the war against Japan.
 The chief problem involved is getting enough transports to rush the men home, plus sorting out those entitled to go home first The matter will be decided by the Arrny's point demobilization sys- tem,' and millions of forms foi computing each GI's service are being printed and shipped overseas
 Tn 1918, American soldiers ir France, deliriously overjoyed al victory, almost threw away theil weapons, went wild for weeks anc months. Officers, equally happy suspended regulations, permitted their men to overrun the big cities of France, having a gay time.
 After this armistice, things will be different. The whole plan has been charted to the last detail Discipline will be maintained, but the War Department demobiliza- tion plan calls for the elimination of all 'harrassing details not es- sential to the health and welfare of the troops

PT Boats Intercept and Sink 1,OOO-fon Troop Vessel
 in Morotai Strait

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, NEW GUINEA, Sept. 22-More than 100 Allied planes pressed punishing raids on flank bases of recently in vaded Morotai Island, while PIT boats smashed what may have been an abortive attempt to rein force the beseiged Japanese gar rison.
 Headquarters reported today a total of 215 tons of bombs were unloaded Monday on Halmahera, Ceram, and the Dutch Celebes from both carrier based and land based aircraft.
 That night PIT boats intercepted and sank a 1000-ton vessel, loaded with fully equipped troops, north of Morotai Strait It is possible the vessel was bound for Morotai from Halmahera.
 If this is so, it marks the first Japanese attempt to aid the Moro tai garrison from the formidable Halmahera forces, by-passed in Gen. Douglas MacArthurs new landing.
 Carrier planes made 108 sorties against Halmahera and damaged at least IF planes, and relentless attacks have been made on the airfields A Liberator bomber patrol destroyed a Japanese torpedo bomber in the Philippines Tuesday The Celebes were hit with 155 tons of bombs. Fuel dumps were ex- ploded and three coastal vessels were sunk.

AUSTIN. Texas, Sept. 22-Former Gov. James E. Ferguson, 73, is dead at his home here. He suf- fered stroke eight months ago.
 Ferguson, impeached and remov- ed from office as governor Of Texas in 1917, remained potent force in the states politics despite a 1924 ruling by the Texas su- preme court barring him from holding other state civic posts. The medium of his continued power was huge rural following which twice elected the ex-gover- nors wife, Mrs. Miriam A. Fergu- son, to the office from which her husband had been busted. A land owner himself, an eX-farm boy, bell boy, miner and laborer, he appealed especially to the small towns and country districts of the state. TO them he always was Farmer Jim"

They were married December 3l, 1899, and were the parents of two daughters.

Chasing Rumors Now
 Lof of Newsmen in
 Capital of Nation
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. = The life of newsman in Washington these days is just one round after another of chasing rumors.
 This isn't any complaint. It's just an observation on what's going on in your nations capital these hectic days. Most of the recent rumor business has resulted from the slow ness of news from the European liberation front: The secrecy that has yelled the doings at Dumbarton Oaks, where the blueprints for a world United States probably is being sketched; from the weeks of whispers about another Roosevelt Churchill conference.
 I spent several days trying to run down an authentic" tip that the Nazi's offer of equalization had been on the desk at the State Department for more than week The net re- suit was that if there had been such an offer, the only persons who would know about it would be President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Hull and the Allied high command. If they did know anything about it., their reasons for not making 1t public generally were good and obvious.
 The stumper that finally discour- aged any further chase of this rumor was Who could offer to deliver Germany to the Allies on any terms short of unconditional surrender?"
 The Roosevelt Churchill meeting speculations were based on more than rumor because the President himself had said at a press con- ference that it probably would take place soon. The rumors involved where and when.
 Among the jucier tips that have sent newsmen scurrying are:
 That the German military leaders are preparing for World War III by tossing their choicest troops into traps where they know they will be captured and well fed until after the peace" when they can come back to Germany as the nucleus of another great army. (The United States alone already has around 100000 German prisoners quartered here. f(,o,,t;1ued m, Pooe Fipe)

Umstead Urges Board
To Retain Teachers

RALEIGH, Aug. s. up = The
state board of education today
heard a recommendation that it
refrain from reducing the number
OF teachers in rural schools, and
adopted Recommendation provid-
ing that all employees of the public
school system with the exception
Of teachers, bus drivers and ex-
aminers be covered by an ''hon-
esty insurance bond
The bond, to be drawn up by the
state insurance commissioner,
would affect more than 5000 public
school workers and would cost ap-
proximately $4,000 for three years
coverage. Some 300 employees now
are covered by similar bond.
A contract for fire insurance on
all school buses was let to the
Home Insurance company, carrying
an annual premium of So, 1852. 81.
The same company provided fire
insurance for the school bus fleet
last year, and the 1944-45 premium
will not exceed that of last year.
Referring to a proposal in this
last general assembly that the mum.
Der of teachers in union schools
should not be reduced to less than
four, Rep. John Umstead of Or
ange told the board that ''the fu-
ture of North Carolina lies in these
rural schools" /, .a, ...
Umstead, who acted as floor lead
err for many bills concerning edu-
cation in the 1913 assembly, said
that the proposal was to have been
included in the school machinery
act but was left to the discretion
Of the board. Teachers, he said,
are assigned normally on the basis
of enrolment.
Asserting that a majority of the
states legislators are from rural
districts, Umstead told the board
that "the 1945 legislature will be
fully advised of this boards ac-
