Y Valentine, Neb., Sept. 13 OJ.R) Gov. Thomas E. Dewey relaxed today at the half-way mark on his transcontinental campaign tour, exuding the most confidence since his nomi nation in June that he will win the presidential election in No vember. There were two major en couraging factors: 1. Optimistic reports from midwestern republican leaders r on the outlook in Iowa, Nebras- ka and South Dakota. 2. Returns from Maine's state election showing what Dewey described as "the greatest re publican landslide in the his tory of the state." News Enjoyed Dewey obviously enjoyed the ,. encouraging news, as well as his period of relaxation at the of former Gov. Samuel R. Mc Kelvie, western manager of the New York governor's presiden tial campaign. It was evident when he walk ed briskly out on the lawn yes terday afternoon and announced to the assembled correspond ents: "Gentlemen, I have a story for you." He has just finished a long telephone conversation with Re publican National Chairman Herbert Brownell, Jr., during which he received the results of the Maine election in which the republican party won the gu bernatorial and congressional races. Pointing out that republican candidae polled more than 70 per cent of the total vote, an Increase of seven per cent over 1940, Dewey said it was proof that "the marked republican 'S, 6.00-16 E 4- as . 3 . - 3 TrteY0 f.ct. too, Til i-f PACIFIC COAST WE M:U lcnv'o:tvr.n of M 0 iccry NopliM fena ! continuing tt in te- ceieraung pace.

Wall Street New York, Sept. 13 OJ.R) Stocks sold lower today as Wall Street adopted a waiting attitude pending further news of the quickened allied attacks on the Siegfried line. Late losses ranged to more than a point with the widest losses In senior utilities, rails, airline shares, mercantiles, and chemicals. With traders generally reluc tant to extend commitments now, particularly while the Que bec conference is being held, the decline was regarded largefy as a technical reaction to two ses sions of advance from last week's lows. A forecast by Economist Rog er W. Babson, who accurately foresaw the crash of 1929, that another major depresssion faces the nation "about 1949 or 1950," attracted only a ripple of at tention.

Niles and Sunol, practically a champagne cork shot from San Francisco. California, which has a clim ate not unlike the cork growing countries of the Mediterranean, grows more cork trees than any other state. The quality of the bark compares favorably with that grown in Spain and Portu gal, says Professor Woodbridge Metcalf, . extension forester at the University of California. The national Industry, how ever, is still in its infancy, and will not be able to fill the na tional needs for a few years yet. The first production contem plates the stripping of about 50 trees, with a resultant return of about 250,000 pounds of cork. The largest stand of mature cork trees in the United States is at Bidwcll Park, Chico, Calif., comprising more than 600 trees planted by the University of California In 1904. These prob ably won't be ready for commer cial stripping until 1955. . The first commercial cork stripping of California trees was made early in July by the Crown Cork and Seal Corporation, which four years ago began a nationwide cork planting project designed ultimately to eliminate the necessity of importing cork. The program, established in co operation with the State Fores try department and the U. S. Forest Service, included the col lection of thousands of cork acorns and the distribution of seedlings to all land owners in terested In growing cork trees. Approximately 150.000 trees have been planted in California, some of them side bv side with the 4.000 mature trees 60 to 80 years old that are found In pri vate estates, parkc and along the highways. Thousands of trees have been planted In the 17 other states having cork proiects In February, 1,050 seedlings were planted near the Pulgas Water Temple at Crystal Springs reservoir, Calif., now the largest cork oak plantation in the Unit ed States, and plans are under way for planting an additional 5.000 trees this fall.
