I I,'- TRUMAN FOR USE OF WAR PLANTS FOR PROSPERITY With Truman En Route to Butte, Mont., Oct. 20 (U.R) Sen. Harry S. Truman, Demo cratic vice presidential nominee, carried his campaign into Mon tana today after attacking pro posals for dismantling govern ment war plants valued at $20, 000,000,000 and urging their use to promote prosperity after the war. Truman sidetracks his special car tonight at Butte, where he rwill deliver a 15-minute radio address over a state hookup be fore moving into South Dakota. He left Seattle last night after another radio address pointed at the northwest and its concern over reconversion problems. Not ByGovernment "The Democratic administra tion believes that we should go forward and utilize to the best advantage the fine plants and facilities built to win the war," EL jj 6.00-16 Ei Jap "Co-Prosperity" Brought Inflation, Graft To Islands By United Press Tokyo newspapers called for Increased production of aircraft and other war materials today and warned that "decisive bat tles" were developing In the Philippines. Editorials In three leading newspapers stressed that the United States was moving for a new, and perhaps greater, thrust at the heart of Japan, ac cording to a Domei news agency broadcast recorded by the feder al communications commission. Domei introduced its broad cast of the editorial digest by asserting that tbe Pacific war "was entering the decisive stage." Jitters Indicated Although . the Japanese . press still was restricting its report of Philippine developments to yesterday's imperial headquar ters communique announcing merely that an American fleet had entered Leyte Gulf and opened a bombardment of coast al areas, the editorials indicated the Japanese were becoming jit tery. The Japanese propaganda on the invasion of the Philip pintes took the line that Presi dent Roosevelt ordered the op eration so the "defeat" of the United States 3rd fleet off For mosa would not embarrass his re-election campaign. The Yomiudi Hochl Shimbun "predicted" that the "Philip pines has become a battleground for decisive battles between the United States and Japan," Domei said, while the Asahl Shimbun "declared that the en emy's much-vaunted 58th task force has been dealt a crushing blow by our forces but the en emy by no means abandoned his strategy for the reinvasion of the Philippines with Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces as a mainstay." Plane Loss Worries An earlier Domei broadcast, also reported by the FCC, indi cated,, however, that while the Japanese were gloating over the alleged victory off Formosa, the loss of Japanese aircraft in the engagement was causing some alarm. Domei said the youth organi zation of the Imperial Rule As sistance Political society, inner wing of Japan's mass Totalitar ian party, planned to launch a campaign on Nov. 8 for 500 ex- tra planes "to make up for the 300 lost in the battle of Taiwan ' (Formosa.)" he told a Democratic rally in the Seattle Civic auditorium. "By this I do not mean government operation of such plants. "But I do mean that the gov ernment must have a vigorous, well conceived and well directed effort to encourage private busi ness to utilize these plants. I mean a government that will place the operation of these plants and the welfare of the millions of workers above the selfish interests of those who fear competition." Truman said that the facili ties built for war production "will form the nucleus of a great prosperity for the entire nation if we have the courage and the vision to see to it that they are kept in operation." Must Not Lie Idle "If they are dismantled or al lowed to lie idle, the injury will be beyond calculation," he said. Continuing to emphasize his assertion that experienced lea dership was necessary to win the war and the peace, he said the war could be won quickly "with the, right kind df leader ship the kind we have now but that "with the wrong kind of leadership it could take years longer. Truman reached Seattle, last night after stumping the route from Portland, Ore. JULIUS A.
