 "Votes in the ballot box mean vic tory" the Mayor declared. we must have them to win despite any record we can show of honest and progressive government. It IS time now to look to our ammunition"

Windsor Returns
 Home

London, Oct. 5-(UP)- Edward, Duke of windsor, came back today to England he once ruled-without the American-bo woman for whom he gave up the worlds rich est throne.
 Only a few old friends, Royal Airforce officers and reporters were on hand to meet the returning exile when he arrived at Tendon Airdrome northwest of London abroad e camoudaged Dakota transport plane from Paris.
 I'm glad to be back" said the Duke as he greeted Air Marshal Ralph Cockrane. T am here Tor only a few days"
 He saluted the crowd of reporters and photographers with e wave of the hand and then stepped into c closed car that whisked him oil the London and his first meeting with his mother, Queen Mary, since he abdicated the throne to marry Wallis Warfield Simpson nine years ago.
 ,. Thr0ng
 Word of the ex-King's coming spread quickly through London and e throng of more than thousand people-most of them women-was waiting when. he reached Marl- borough house where the Queen mother is staying: .....,..
 Many of the spectators had been waiting for four hours or more. When they sighted the Dukes car, they broke through the police lines, brushing the protesting hobbies aside and trampling over scores of men and women who fell in, the crush.
 Windsor's car was stalled for e few minutes in the crowd and the hatless Duke leaned out the win dow to wave smiling acknowledg- ment to him."
 It was Windsor's first visit to Eng land since the early days of the war when he served briefly as General. Staff Officer. It has been longer than that since his wife last saw this island kingdom. The Duchess remained behind in Paris. but was expected to come back with Edward for another visit some time in the next few months.

 DelibeEation
 Mongibeaux retired for 50 min- utes to deliberate the appeal. Re- turning to the courtroom. he over- ruled the request for postponement and ordered the trial to proceed.

Meot Rotions
 May Be Ended November 1st

Washington, oct. 5-(UP)-The government Is now considering Nov. 1 as the date for ending meat ra- tioning, 1t was learned today.
 At the present level of demand, officials said, tho potential supply of meat for November probably could not be disturbed fairly without ra- tioning.
 Government economists believe the demand for red meat Is on the way down. A contributing factor IS said to be a decline in civilian pur- chasing power. The current wave of strikes Is expected to play an tm- portant part in the drop.
 Conferences
 Oficials of the office of price ad- ministration and agriculture depart ment have resumed conferences on an early end to rationing in view of this trend.
 Meanwhile oficial sources dis closed that the government-in the midst of elaborate plans to elimtn- ate foods suhsidies-has prepared a new subsidy program.
 The agriculture dpeartment has submitted to reconversion director John M. Snydera proposalto offer an incentive subsidy to cattle slaughterers for hiring workers for overtime work on Saturdays.
 The subsidy to packers would be temporary. It would be withdrawn once the 1945 cattle marketing sea- son is concluded.

 New Cabinet

Tokyo, Oct. 5-UP)-The Japanese home office today ordered provincial police chiefs to hold on for the time being to posts from which Gen. Douglas MacArthur had ordered them busted by Oct. 10.
 The home offices hint at potential defiance of Mac Arthur came as Japanese diplomats scurried about ill an effort to form a govern ment to replace that q Prince Naruhiko Higaslli- Kuni, which was overthr0wa by the Supreme Comnlan- der'S sweeping reforms. Candidates
 Shigeru Yoshida, Foreign Min@ ister in the fallen cabinet and lead- CT of Q peace movement for which he was arrested as early as 1aat June, looked to be the most likely candidate for the leadership Of the new government.
 Amidst the government shaksnp the home ofEice instructed Japan.s provincial police chiefs to disregard MacArthur's removal orders "psnd- ing decisions on future steps."

 Well-informed Japanese said the final straw that forced the eab= inetS resignation was MacArti1uf;s directive yesterday giving the Japa- nese people the right for the xsrstl time to criticize the emperor freely.
 The Japanese constitution pEos vides that the emperor is abgoflfte and invio!able. Police always haxs been quick to act against individuais or newspapers showing the Slightcst disrespect toward him.
