Indiana tuning zette. Jap Speech Interesting WASHINGTON. Nov. Marshal Stalin's frank discussion of as an aggressive nation brought renewed speculation today that at the strategic moment thc Soviet Union will make available of its resources to the Allies of the Pacific-Asiatic war. This might ninye all the way from the use ot ba.scs to full participation.

But tliut help will be forthcoming has been assumed by informed persons here and Stalin's direct reference to the Pacific enemy was interpreted in that light. In some respects Russia's position in north east Asia is even more vulnerable than Japan's. Her territories in the maritime provinces and Kamchatka peninsula apparently could be difficult to defend in event the Japanese were in position to react strongly. The Russiiiiis are known to have ki-pt substantial forces of troops in throughout the war. In uirn they tied up at least comparable Japanese forces.

Election statisticians say: W.itch the returns from the big as particularly important Many observers assume that Mr. Roosevelt will carry New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit ancl most othcr large cities.

They say, however, that he will probably need very large majorities in those cities to win such big electoral vote state's as New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. Those five are rated "crucial areas" because they have a total electoral vote of 154. That's 21 votes more than half of the 265 electoral votes needed to win.
