PACE SIX HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Au, W 24 DOUBT LOOMS NATION S I0T1TC0I Jeep Goes Honeymooning .1 .AtJU . t I, . :- By EDWARD CREAGH (Copyright 1944. By The Associated Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 24 (flV Because 11 states will not count their soldier votes on election day, November 7, It is possible thnt the outcome of the 1944 presidential election will remain In doubt for several weeks after the polls close. Should the election be unusu ally close, the winner might not be known until as late as Decem ber 7, when the canvass of Ne braska's absentee vote could de termine whether the state's sev en electoral votes would be cast for President Roosevelt or Gov ernor Thomas E. Dewey. , . Two Million Absentees These possibilities grow out of an Associated Press survey which indicates that more than 2,000,000 men and women in the armed forces have applied for absentee ballots and that, by the most conservative estimates of state election officials, approxi mately twice that number will vote in November. The soldier vote is likely to be decisive in most of the 11 states which do not immediately tabu- late it, and the 11 including Pennsylvania with 36, California with 22 and Missouri with 1, have a combined electoral vote of 116. President Wilson's elec toral margin over Charles Evans uugnes in ibio was only 23. .' November 22 Counting In Pennsylvania, wherp nffi, elals expect 200,000 to 300,000 soldier ballots, the absentee vote will be counted November 22. California, whose secretary of state predicts a service vote of iro.uuu to auu.ooo, will not can vass it until November 24. Mis souri, receiving more than 1000 ballot aPDlications dailv. will start counting absentee votes the iiiuay aiier election day. Will Defer Count "Of the states which will defer their soldier vote, count, eight gave j-resmeni nooseveu a total of 99 electoral votes in 1940. The other three gave Wendell L. Willkie, 17. '-Besides Nebraska, Pennsyl vania, California and Missouri, the states which will add up tome oc all f their soldier votes after election day are: Colorado, 'x electoral votes, November 22; Delaware, three, November 9: Florida, seven, November 17 North Dakota, four, December 5; Rhode Island, four, December 4 Utah, four, November 27; and Washington, eight, November 27. jj'rnMMWii i r -''--ili: A R ARMADA After wedding ceremony in St Augustine Chapel, Bart, Italy, this slicked-up jeep carried the bride and groom, WAC Cpl.

Stimson Says Nazi Hopes Of French Defense Waning WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 OP) Secretary Stimson said today al lied military victories , coupled with the rising of French forces have shattered German hopes of making a prolonged stand even in northern Jrrance. The secretary of war told a news conference:" ' "This has been an historic week the climax of the battle of northern France, the forward surge of the allies in southern France, the liberation of Paris and now Romania s abandon ment of the axis. "On every - - side Germanv weakens. Now is the time for us to muster all out strength and unity for the final blows. The liberation of Paris bv th French people themselves after our own American forces had half-encircled the city is a fit ting demonstration of the wan ing power of the nazis and the reDirtn of freedom." Nearly Liberated . . Stimson said that alreadv the great bulk of metropolitan France has been liberated, for all practical purposes, by the com bined actions of allied armies and the French DeoDle them selves. In the midst of success. he reminded, it still is necessarv to remember that a substantial number of-divisions of the Ger man fifteenth army in the Calais area were not yet in combat. Standing north of the Seine riv er, he said, they undoubtedly will seek to reorganize such seventh army units as manage to escape from Normandv and In crease, their strength. "Allied air and erouriri force with teamwork and -Dower." Stimson said, "are in the midst of effective action to undermine and crush the. ability of the Ger mans to make a Droloneed stand in northern France." -r Menace to Rhone . Stimson said the sriMtapiilnr advance of an armored force of the 7th army in southern France, pushing beyond Grenoble, mreatens to cut the Rhone in its upper regions.- ruining German pians lor a nard fought with drawal up the valley of that river from the coast. It also has sealed off all direct routes of communication between the Ger man forces in France and Italy. Pockets of resistance, in some of which the nazis are fighting bitterly, still exist in southern and western France, the secre tary saia, out iney soon will be as isolated as the Japanese in the eastern Marshalls or New Britain. Defense Area Stimson said the only area left for a German attempt at a real defense is a region of the last war's battlefields in northern ranee. But the enemy s supply and reinforcement routes Into this territory-are under constant air patrol and attack, he added, as-far as the interior of Belgium ana me uerman Doroer. In the past week, . Stimson said, allied .planes destroyed 2279 railway cars of all kinds and destroyed or damaged more than 800 locomotives. Now they are concentrating on barges and small boats, while keeping up their attacks on' German trucks, tanks and troops concentrations. Moose to Celebrate Loan Payment Saturday nTghf.

HITS DOZEN M TARGETS LONDON, Aug. 24 f.'P) A vast armada of 2300 American f llanos smashed a dozen targets n Germany and on the Cuvh border today while the RAF bombed and strafed a nnzi ''Dun kerque" attempt from the Brent port of Le Havre at the month of the Seine, only a few miles beyond advancing allied lines. The attacks in Germany by 1300 heavy bombers and 1000 fighters constituted ono of the greatest assaults ever mounted by United States air forces. Oil Plant Hit Targets included synthetic oil plants at Mersebers, Misburg and Ruhlimd in Germany and Brux on the Czccho-Slovnk bor der. Also bombed were an oil refinery at Freltal near Dresden; two airplane plants at Bruns wick; German air force stations at Kollcda near Mersebeig and LnnKcnhngcn near Hannover; a radio factory at Miemar and other industrial targets at Kiel.
