Washington radio stations are do
ing their annual job for the infan-
tile paralysis fund, and it is most
excellent one. Each year the sta
tions drop their competitive spirit
and go all-out for money raising on
the Mile O. Dimes" This has been
going on for IA years and has pro-
vided a great deal of help and hope
for victims of the crippling disease.
This year, as she did in the past
two campaigns, Miss Margaret Tru-
man officially opened the drive at
Dimes Square" in front of the
Capitol Theater. With her was
Terry Tullos, the poster boy";;
Commissioner Young and the local
chairman, Edgar Morris. This pro-
gram was carried either ''live" or
transcribed by every station. AM or
FIN, in Washington. In addition the
opening ceremonies were televised
and seen throughout the East, in
Washington, Baltimore, Philadel-
ptia and New York.
The individual station activity on
behalf Of the infantile paralysis
campaign Is most heart-warming.
For example, Jerry Strong on WINK
will try to collect a dime for every
polio victim, which means 24,759
dimes. WOOK will do a daily disc
jockey show from the Mile o. Dimes
stand in front of the Lincoln
Theater. WRC, WTOP and WMAL
are planning most comprehensive
series of special programs with out
standing guests to tell of polio and
what can be done about 1t. WWDC
will practically turn over Milton @.
Ford's program to raise funds. Mike
Hunnicutt, Art Brown and others
on VOL will devote much time and
effort toward the common goal.
WQQW will put up Mile o. Dimes
stand on Connecticut avenue in
front Of their studios to gather
dimes from the passersby.
Suburban Washington will be
completely covered by radio station
activity to swell the funds that 60
to alleviate suffering.
You are going to hear lot about
infantile paralysis and the Mile o.
Dimes in the next two weeks, and
radio Is to be commended most
highly for the time, talent and ef-
fort 1t expends for this most worthy
cause.

WTOP has had a bit of shutting
about on the executive level. In
rough sequence it happened about
like this. Maurice Mitchell, who
was sales manager of the station,
moved to CHS, New York, as a
member of the staff of Radio Sales
Into this vacancy in Washington
stepped Dick Linkroum, the erst-
while program director. Hazel Mar
kell was made acting program di-
rector.
Things were working out very

munists next were expected to at
tack Fushun and Penhsi, east and

Stuart Fovors Coalition
lin Chinese Government

NANKING, Sunday, Feb. az R'
An American Embassy spokesman
today quoted Ambassador j. Leigh
ton Stuart as declaring "the best
possible solution" of the Chinese
war 1s still q coalition government
by the Kuomintang and the Com
munists."
The spokesman said DR.. Stuart
made the statement in an inter-
view. The Ambassador added, he
said. that he recognized the dangers
of such a coalition, "but that is q
risk that should be taken"
Dr.. STUART, born in China and q
noted educator in this country
before he became Ambassador, has
long favored peace by compromise.
Observers in Nanking, however,
were puzzled by the timing OF his
statement. The United States ad-
ministration now is pushing in Con-
gress a program Of economic aid
for the Kuomintang (Nationalis)
government.
In view of Communist successes,
both military and political, most
observers consider q compromise
remot If not impossible even II
the central government should
make drastic concessions.
DR.. Stuart was not available Tor

Report of Polk SIoyer's Death
May Be Red Trick, Greeks Say
Mouzenides Killed
In Action Months Ago,
Communists Assert
By the Asseeietsd Press

ATHENS Oct. 19-Constantin
RENTS, Minister of Public Order,
says the Communists reported four
months ago that Adam Mouzenides,
accused as the trigger man In the
George Polk murder, was killed in
action.
The government alleged in
Salonika Sunday that Mouzenides,
a member of the Central Committee
of the Greek Communist Parry, shot
the Columbia Broadcasting Systems S
correspondent in a boat in Salonika
Bay May 8.
Greek judicial authorities said
they doubted the report of Mou-
zenides' death. They said 1t might
be a Communist trick to confuse
police trying to find him.
Mr.. RENTS said the underground's
Communist newspaper reported
June Is that Mouzenides had been
killed fighting with the rebels. On
July 20 the Communists announced
that Mouzenides had been killed
with a comrade identified as Ara
badzis. Mr.. RENTS said he thought
the latter was the unnamed man in
the boat when Mr.. Polk was killed
Justice Minister George Melas
said that beginning tomorrow Greek
newspapers again would be forbid
den to print information about the
Polk investigation. A ban was i'm
posed six weeks ago on the grounds
that publication might hamper the
investigators.

Slowing Of Dewey's
Campaign Evidences
Confidence Of Victory
By J. A. O'Leoy
Stor Staff Corrssnondent

ALBANY, N. Y.-Oct. 19.-The
slow tempo at which Gov. Dew
ey's campaign will move this
week was taken by observers
here today as further evidence
of his confidence of victory.
This air of assurance also was ap-
parent yesterday as he spoke in four
Upstate New York cities on his way
home from the Midwest At Buffalo
Rochester, Syracuse and Schenec-
tady he made only indirect appeals
for support. Instead, he told his fel-
low New Workers that he expects
most of them will vote for him. and
that little he could say would change
the minds of the others. Students
of New York politics are ready to
agree with his assumption about
this Upstate region.
The Governor Is devoting today to
State business, and he has only two
speeches scheduled for the rest of
the week. One is in the New York
Herald Tribune forum tomorrow
night, followed by the annual Alfred
E. Smith Memorial dinner Thurs
day night
No Weekend Meetings.
There are any number of impor-
tant points in the East where he
could speak Friday and Saturday,
but as of this morning he had no
campaign meetings scheduled for
either day.
If he sticks to this limited pro-
gram of activity for the next to the
last week of the campaign, it can
only mean that the Republican
nominee sees no need for a whirl-
wind finish.
Starting next Monday, however
he will make four more major ad-
dresses at Chicago, Cleveland, Bos-
ton and New York. The New York
speech in Madison Square Garden
Saturday, october 80, will be in Gus
tomary climax of the campaign.
Will Demand Cabinet Unity.
Gov. Dewey served notice yes
terday on all who may en-
ter his cabinet that If he wins that
they must make up their minds to
pull together as q team If they ex-
pect to stay.
He told one of his New York au-
diences that they never see any Of
his cabinet members in the State
government quarreling publicly, Be
cause If they did there would be one
less" member in the cabinet.
Gov. and Mrs. Dewey got back to
Albany yesterday in time to hold a
birthday party for their youngest
son Johnny, who was l3 yesterday,
In Syracuse yesterday the third
tomato incident OF his 10-State tour
occurred. A youngster there hurled
q tomato which squasned against
the top of railroad car few feet
from where Gov. Dewey was speak
ing.
Gov. Dewey asked: What was
that? We've got enough flowers up
here already" Flowers had just
been presented to Mrs. Dewey.
Answering the candidate, the boy
who threw 1t yelled:
That was q tomato"
Gov. Dewey. paying NO further
attention, went on with MS speech.

AS far as can be ascertained, the
agency's work and accomplishments
under the direction of its chief,
Cyrus r. Ching, a Republican in
dustralist, have been we'll received

That's why the agency's officials
professed astonishment when Gov.

Several mediation officials saw
