 ocratic ticket. The G. o. P. has yet to meet and name its candidates. It is more than likely that con- ference between Republicans and Independent Democrats will be held before the former hold their official nominating conventions.
 Claim Possible Chance
 Some of the more optimistic mem- bers of the Independents and the Republicans believe that a represen- tative ticket in opposition to the Democratic administration might succeed this year in view of the feelings of firem en, policemen, teachers and other city employees. Unless there are other contributing circumstances other observers bee lieve the Democrats have machine too highly-geared to be side-track- ed this year. Other issues than the pereion will be needed, 1t is claim ed, to arouse the public to any great enthusiasm for spirited campaign and change of administration.
 Chairman Wall and Secretary Ward expect to be in 8 position to issue a statement next week outlin- ing the plans of the Independent Democrats. They give the impress sion that their party will be very much in the fight in an effort to effect a change of administration.

 Since most of the prisoners were suffering from dysentery, many could not conform to this rigama- role, Boyington said. They were then beaten or otherwise pnished.
 The menu consisted of a kilo of maize and rice mixed together, a mess which tasted like chalk. This basic item was supplemented by soy bean soup which was mostly water. An occasion treat was 8 fish head or seaweed. Boyington's normal weight of 175 pounds fell off to 110 until he got a job as kitchen as- sistant. Then his year-old hunger and available food brought him up to 190 pounds.

Working closely with President Truman and Congress are these leaders of labor and industrial organizations vitally interested in legislation which will soften the hardships of postwar un- employment and hasten the revival of full production. Es- inmates are that nearly 2.000, 900 workers already have been thrown out of jobs since announcement of Japan's surrender, and U. s. Employment Service offices throughout the country are damned with applicants for un- employment pay. Legislation is now before congressional com mittees seeking higher unemploy- ment benefits and full employ ment. Testimony and advice of these men will determine to 8 large extent what action is taken.

Limited Press Stan Correspondent)
 London, Aug. 30.-(UP)-A Rus sian spokesman said today that Martin Bormann. Adolf Hitler's deputy and second most powerful man in Nazi Germany, was believed still at large.
 Maj. Gen. I. T. Nikitchenko, So- viet representative on the United Nations prosecuting committee, dis closed that the Allies have dismissed reports of Bormann's death as un- founded.
 Among War Criminals
 Speculation over Bormanns z whereabouts was touched off by his inclusion last night among the "A German war criminals ordered to trial at Nuremberg by the United States, Britain, France and Russia
 At first 1t was thought that his appearance on the mass indictment might mean that he already had been captured by the Allies, as have all other g defendants.
 Nikitchenko said, however, that Bormann was not in Soviet hands nor, SO far as he knew, in the cus- tody of any of the Allied powers. He pointed out, however, that the char ter establishing the war crimes tri- bunal permitted trials in absentia.
 Speculate on Hitler
 The Soviet spokesman declined comment on why Bormann was in- cluded on the indictment list while Adolf Hitler was not. Hitler's body never has been found.
 An American war crimes commis- sion spokesman confirmed thai Bormann had not been capturec by American occupation forces ant said he had been assured by Brit. ish war office sources that the sus- pect was not in British custody.
 American investigators in Europe were reported to have uncovered evidence recently indicating thai Bormann was killed by Russian guns just before Berlin's collapse, others said that he was shot down while attempting to escape across the Spree. British sources have always

 However there has always been some belief that Bormann might have hidden himself nj the vast prisoner of war cages and, with 1,500,0 900 German troops still to be discharged, it was possible that he had only recently been discovered.
