Star Staff Correspondent

LA PLATA, Md, Nov. 2-Demo-
cratic leaders in open revolt against
the fourth-term campaign, and
working for election of Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey, threaten to give the 5th
district to the Republican presi-
dental candidate.
Both Senator Tydings and Repre-
sentative SaSscer. Democrats, are
certain to be reelected with sub
stantial majorities. Prince Georges
County and the Baltimore City
wards and precints seem to be all
that are definitely for Mr. Roosevelt
Anne Arundel County is Witness
ing one of the closest contests it
has had in many years. Calvert
Charles and ST. Marys Counties will
give Gov. Dewey majority unless
the trend changes. The Democratic
workers are wooing the colored
voters in an effort to turn the tide.
Close Fight Admitted.
| Mr. Roosevelt carried Anne
ArunGel County with a ma jority of
1912 in 1910, and the Democratic
campaign managers all predict that
Mr.. Roosevelt will carry the county
perhaps by 1900" They admit it
is a close fight and that many
Democrats have said they will vote
for Gov. Dewey.
They expect Senator Tydings to
win the county by 1900 to $500, and
Mr.. Sasscer has no real opposition.
The total registration for Anne
Arundel is 41,216, of which 28,477
are Democrats and l2,127 Repub-
licans. Of these, 2,1OO were put on
the books in the county during the
new registration
Mr. Roosevelt carried Anne Arun-
del County four years ago, 1916
to 9,204.
In Prince Georges County regis
tration increased about 1900 There
are indications that the Roosevelt
vote in Prince Georges will be con-
siderably reduced, but the situation
is much better than two weeks ago.
The large percentage of the soldiers
votes counted on as being for Mr..
Roosevelt IS expected partially to
offset the detection. In 1910 Mr..
Roosevelt had majority of about
1000 in Prince Georges.
The three counties of Calvert, in
which Mr.. Roosevelt had a major
lty OF "a four years ago: Charles,
where Wendell Willkie defeated him
by "a votes, and St. Marys, where
Mr.. Roosevelt had a majority OF
$50 are now predicted to be for Gov.
Dewey.
Charles County in Revolt.
In Charles County anti-N Deal
rebellion has broken out. 1t has
been impossible to get a campaign
manager. Brooks Matthews. a vet
eran Democratic worker. declined
the job openly, telling the Demo-
cratic leaders: You are working
for DeWey's election-What chance
would l have?" He is conducting a
personal campaign among the COL
ored voters, saying, The Negroes
are our only hope to carry the coun-
ty for Roosevelt" He admits "it
looks like the county is going for
Gov. Dewey"
Louis Groves in Waldorf, another
Roosevelt worker. gave the same tes-
tlmony: Our Democratic organ
lzation has split up. with the head
men working for Dewey-but Roose-
velt may carry this county, He
thinks the State is likely to vote for
Gov. Dewey.
Former Judge Walter J. Mitchell,
who was president of the State Sen
ate from 1881 to 1888, declares Gov.
Dewey will carry Charles County by
sizable majority.

Corregidor Fell To Japs
Two Years Ago Last Week

American bases in the Pacific
reached the Leathernecks almost
before they had established new
quarters. In traditional Marine
Corps fashion, the regiment pre-
pared for action and went forth into
battle. Last official reports made
known that the Marines, hopelessly
outnumbered, were fighting with
rifles, bayonets and fists in a des-
perate attempt to keep the enemy
from gaining a foothold on the
beach at Fort Mills, Corregidor.
Earlier, the Marines had defend
ed Olongapo, the beaches of Manila
Bay, Cavite and Bataan, stubborn
ly resisting the foe and hopeful that
60-day defense would bring rein
forcements and victory.
Days, weeks. then months of
ceaseless fighting followed.
The second anniversary of the
proud Fourth Regiments gallant
stand at Fort Mills finds a reacti-
waited Fourth Regimentof U. S. Ma
rines in action.
Led By Lit. Col. Shapely.
This newly formed Fourth, COM
posed of Marine Raiders-"best of
the best"-is now in the field. It's
members are rugged veterans of
the toughest fighting at Tulagi,
Guadalcanal, Maxim and other
points along the road to Tokyo.
They are led by 1t. Col. Alan
Shapely, a versatile Leatherneck
who entered the Marine Corps fol-
lowing his graduation from the U. S,
Naval Academy in 1927.
