from the huge forces available,
this seems a reasonably accurate

This suggests that an American

The Formosan blows are believ-
ed to have deprived the Philippines
of support from Japan.
The Japanese probably have re-
placed most of the pilots and part
of the planes lost in the Philip
pines during September attacks.
Most of the planes were destroyed
on the ground, with comparatively
small loss of pilots.
There is strong likelihood, how

3-P0WER FARLEY
MAY COME NEXT
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-tR-
President Roosevelt left wide oper
today the possibility that he ma,
meet with Marshal Stain ane
Prime Minister Churchill in the
next two months to seek new big
three agreements on the future O.
Europe and the preservation O
United Nations unity when peace
comes.
The President touched briefly or
the subject at his news conference
where he responded to severa
questions on foreign affairs. One
answer indicated he may be think
ing of the French administration
of General Charles de Gaulle now
as regular ode facto govern
ment'' rather than merely an eau
thority."
He said you could call it either
an authority or a defacto govern
ment. Some of his most-trusted adj
visers are urging him to recognize
the De Gaulle regime as a provls-
ional or de facto government and
stop dealing with it on a limited
military basis. A new American
ambassador, Jefferson Cafferty,
left recently for Paris but pending
some further act of recognition he
goes only as a representative to
the de facto French authority. .
Heretofore Mr.. Roosevelt has been
careful to avoid the word govern
ment in talking of the De Gau1le
set-up.
The President came to his news
conference fresh from study OF
the latest reports on the confer.
ence of Churchill and Stain at
Moscow. There has been some
speculation that if the Moscow
meeting makes good progress,
Churchill, who only recently met
Mr.. Roosevelt at Quebec, might
arrange conference OF all three
leaders and possibly also General
issimo Chang Kai shek OF emma.
About the first question put by
newsmen was whether the Presl-
dent saw any prospect for big
three parley. He said he did not

DECRIED BY H0EY

MONROE, Oct. 13.-tR-Clyde
R. Hoey, democratic nominee TO-
the U, S. Senate, declared here
today that the nation ''cannot
trust the republican party to set
tie the destiny of America and the
world. We tried that Is years ago
and we know what happened"
Hoey shared the speakers plat
form at a democratic rally in the
Union county courthouse with r.
Gregg Cherry, the nominee for
governor. William B. Umstead,
democratic executive committee
chairman, presided.
THE choice the people OF these
United States have to make is
between a return to the era of
Harding by the election Of young
and inexperienced Mr.. Dewey,
Or continuance of the admins
ration of President Roosevelt, I'm
der whom the nation has made
tremendous advances and who is
well qualified to sit at the peace
table by both experience and
knowledge" Hoey said.
He expressed the belief that
confederation of nations similar to
the Union of the United States,
with a court to decide on issues
and with the armed forces of the
civilized world to back up the
DEGREES of the court, is entirely
workable and should be created.
Hoey urged the women of the
state to do their share in elect
ing tried and trusted leader in
whom the entire world has con-
fidence.'
