i2&Li,J HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON ACE TWO GOVERNOR AND WIFE SHAKEN UP IN CRASH (Continued from Page One) d, pilinR train engines on the rack. The run had been made authwest in the expectation that ihe Dewey tram wouia not reacu he site of the wreck until the tracks had been cleared. Runnine on a left hand track in which block signals were not iperatii.g, the Dewey train ap- proacnea me oilier jjn--mb:i ;rain unexpectedly. Trainmen an the halted passenger train ivhich left Seattle about mid night last night said their car Darely had been brought to a itop, and that a brakeman had peen dispatched to the rear to set Flags against the approach of the Dewey train. Doors Shattered The crash came while about 20 reporters were working in a press car preparing stories on advance copies of Dewey's ipecch tonight in Portland on "Is There an Indispensable Man?" The shock of the impact was so great it shattered glass doors through the length of the Dewey train, and Frank Hinda, one of Dewey's bodyguards, was swept forcibly through a glass door. He Was not seriously injured. Dewey wrs obviously elated today at the yelling, whistling reception given his assault on the administration's labor record at Seattle last night and he pre pared to shift his attack swiftly to the "indispensable man" theme. With a sympathetic crowd cheering him on, Dewey sailed into the new deal with a bare knuckled attack on what he de tcribed as home front "quarrel ing, bickering and. confusion." 8000 Hear Talk About 8000 persons packed themselves into Seattle's civic auditorium to hear the dapperly at tired governor, and hundreds listened in an adjacent park, where loudspeakers were provid d. v Punching at the Roosevelt ad ministration with- the charge that it was "exclusively respon sible for the most serious war time strikes,"- Dewey told a crowd which included many war workers but few persons in serv ice uniforms that there has been no chart or compass for labor in the new deal. "I refuse to believe," the nomi nee shouted, ''that workers in this country will play the role of supplicants to any throng. I refuse to-believe that any man or group of men can deliver any section of "our -people by holding the po .ver of government over meir neaas as a club." - As aii -alternative. Dpwpv nf. fered a . republican labor- plat form which, boiled down, called for the appointment of a secre tary oi labor from union ranks, recentralization of envpmmontai labor fu ctions in the depart ment, the abolition of "Wasteful, competing bureaus' and the ces sation oi any "privilege for one group over any other group." -A report from Longview said Dewey had left for Portland hv automobile, but another story was that he was coming on in uy train.

AMBULANCE SERVICE 92S High " Phona 3334 House Downs Travel Pay Bill WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 OP) The house voted overwhelming ly Monday to stand steadfast against senate-approved legisla tion to provide transportation for war workers, up to $200 a family, back to their homes or to new jobs. The vote was 238 to 90. Chairman Doughton (D-N.C.) of the ways and means commit tee offered the motion that the house conferees be instructed to continue their opposition to such travel pay. He asserted that the senate provision would result in an "undisguised drain on the treasury which in no manner can be justified," and that "nobody has told us what this unfamental change In gov ernment policy will cost." The conferees came to the house for instructions when they became deadlocked with senate conferees in an effort to compose broad differences be tween the two chambers of de mobilization and reconversion legislation. FAILS TO HALT (Continued from Page One) retreated over the coral ridges, honeycombed with defensive points in which some Japanese soldiers were cnainea to tneir posts. Infantrymen of the army's 81st division, filtering through a maze of vines and tropical underbrush, occupied the north ern half of little Angaur island, killing less than 100 of the elusive defenders on the way. A large phosphate refinery, im portant to japans munitions industry: the town of Saipan, and a large railway yard were among their prizes. Davao Hit Tokyo reported about SO Lightnings and Liberators yes terday bombed Davao, largest city in the southern Philippines, indicating the airfield on newly invaded Morotai island was al ready in use. Fighters have made 1400-mile round trips to attack Davao, but the fighter strip on Morotai, little more than 300 miles from the target, was one of . the island's greatest values., , ' The Nuroonese made two "in effective night raids" on Moro tai in -their first counteraction against Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur's invasion. Absence of Japanese air attacks on United States forces swarming around the southern Philippines led Artemus Gates, assistant secre tary of the navy for air, to com ment "It is very confusing why the Japs are not more aggres sive." He noted the "total lack" of fight from the Japanese air force during the three days he rode on a raiding carrier with in sight' of the Philippines. "These people," he added, "def initely are on the run." Adm. Chester W, Nimitz con ceded the Japanese have "no room for optimism" but pointed out that ' ahead of American forces lie "tougher and more compact defenses," the "main bodies of the well trained Jap anese army," and the badly pummeied but sua potent mi perial fleet Danes, Germans Battle in Capital STOCKHOLM, Sept. 1 OP) Danish policemen battled Ger man naval troops trying to seize the royal castle of Amalienborg at Copenhagen today, and Danes and Germans were fighting in the capital and other places where the nazis tried to seize police stations, the Danish press service reported. One hundred and sixty Dan ish policemen defended the royal castle against a German naval detachment, the service said. King Christian X, the queen, crown prince and pnn. cess were in the castle. Danish civilians aided- police men fighting in the streets of the capital and in other Danish centers. A general strike was called in Copenhagen at 2 p. m. Earlier Copenhag'en dis patches said the Germans had occupied all government build- ings, including parliament, in tne capital -and all police sta tions throughout the country in a lightning move shortly before noon.

Berlin indicated new airborne landings above the Rhine delta, in tho area near Rotterdam, Amsterdam and The Hague.
