Weary Voters Given
Opportunity to Hear
Campaign Speeches
By J. W. DAVIS
.associated Press Staff Wilier
Eve. n bit blurry ana ears
hard pounded by presidential
campaign arguments, America's
voters can choose between
dozens of more speakers in the
few days left before they choose
between President Roosevelt
and Governor Dewey.
At least ten network pro
grams are on tonight's political
broadcast schedule. The speak
ers include ton flieht politicians.
labor leaders and still more of
the Hollywood movie actors wno
have been swarming to micro
phones in great numoers una
campaign.
Mr. Roosevelt himself is down
for a 15-minute talk from the
White House (over NBC) in a
democratic program running
from 6 to 6:30 o'clock PWT.
After a 9:30 a. m., PWT, ex
temporaneous speech at Balti
more, Dewey carries his anti
fourth term drive to Pennsyl
vania with speeches in Wilkes
Barre and Scranton tonight
None of his talks today will be
broadcast. He speaks again at
New Yorks' Madison Square
Garden Saturday night.
It is Mr. Roosevelt's next to
the last major call to the voters;
his last is to come Saturday
night at Boston where howling
republican enthusiasts last night
heard Dewey declare:
Party on Block
"Mr. Roosevelt, in his over
whelming desire to perpetuate
himself in office for 16 years,
has put his party on the auction
block for sale to ' the highest
bidder."
And the ones bidding it in,
Dewey continued "are the po
litical action committee of Sid
ney Hillman and the commun
ists of Earl Browder."
It was a boisterous, tremen
dous reception New England
gave Dewey and, just as their
separate trips to Chicago were
compared by vote-hungry poli
ticians, it will be compared to
the turn-out Mr. Roosevelt at
tracts Saturday.
The fever -of the voters has
matched the growing fervor of
the speakers.
Whereas Dewey spoke of his
opponent making a cynical al
liance with Earl Browder's com
munists," Senator Truman drew
cheers in a Parkersburg, W. Va
speech in which he called the
republican candidate a politi
cal faker."
Truman Talks
Truman, democratic vice pres
idential nominee, said:
"To win this war and brine
our fighting men back home
we have a leader, who can act
and not a political faker who
first scoffs at the war program
as 'fantastic' and impossible and
then, when the impossible has
oeen accomplished, tries to
make you'believe that it was a
failure.
Otherwise along the cam
paign trail: '
: Interior Secretary Ickes, bid
ding for the negro vote in New
xorK s Harlem, said in a speech
there that Mr. Roosevelt "had
pressed steadily toward the goal
of a democratic army where
there will be no segregation or
discrimination." Negroes have
aavancea far under the new
deal, Ickes said.
This Mississippi legislature ar
ranged to convene at Jackson
to consider means of replacing
three democratic party electors
who have said they won't vote
for the Roosevelt-Truman tick
et. There was some talk that
this could not be done without
calling off the presidential elec
tion in Mississippi Tuesday.
Governor John W. Bricker of
Ohio traveled to Paterson, N.
J for a (CBS) network radio
speech tonight at 6:30 p. m.,
PWT.
Senator Bennett Champ Clark
of Missouri, defeated for demo
cratic renomination, came out
with a speech at St. Louis de
claring that "It has been Presi
dent Roosevelt's responsibility
to conduct the war and . . . .
He has conducted it magnifi
cently." Clark in times has dif
fered strongly with the admin
istration. South Carolina democrats
nominated John J. Riley of Sum
ter to run for the U. S. house
seat left vacant by the death of
Rep. Hampton Fulmer.
The republican and demo
cratic national chairman, Robert
E. Hannegan and Herbert
Brownell, continued their feud-within-a-feud
from their New
York offices.
Hannegan said in a statement
that "Dewey will not carry as
many states as the republican
candidate did in 1940." The
number was 10. Brownell re
plied that "I plan to make a
statement of fact, not fancy, on
that oeiore the election.

Yank Officer Follows Gary's
Formula for Bridge-Blowing
By ROGER GREENE
WITH U. S. TROOPS IN
HOLLAND,. Nov. 2 OP) A real
life version of Gary Cooper's
bridge-blowing feat in "For
Whom the Bell Tolls" was en
acted by a daring young Amer
ican second lieutenant on this
front in eastern Holland.
Th Hermans had iust com
pleted a bridge across the Wes
sen canal south of Weeri, and
its destruction was so vital that
the American commander con
sidered throwing a whole bat
talion into a daylignt auacK io
wreck it. .
"flive me five men to cover
me and I'll do it alone," volun
teered Second Lieutenant Ira F .
Peak of an engineer unii.
In the dead of night Peak and
five volunteers crawled ior-
ward to the canal Dame, ana
Peak, leaving the others to
watch for the enemy, slipped
under the bridge, and went to
work with his explosives.
In nitch darkness all went
well until one of the men
slipped on a rock and tne iock
splashed into the canal. The
noise roused a German sentry
who came running onto the
bridge with a machinegun, spot
ted Peak's half-hidden form
amid the girders under the
Driage ana opened tire.
Peak coolly went on wiring
his explosives to the underbelly
of the bridge while bursts fired
by his covering detail kept the
German from going after Peak.
At last the job was completed
and Peak with the others made
a dash down the road.
The German sentry ran back
for reinforcements and came
chasing back. Two hundred
jfcrds down the road Peak had
charged his electric detonator
with a wire leading to the ex-
