Allied armies, Jabbing; all alone the 500-mile western front, racked up consistent local gains today as the Berlin radio dinned its warnings that Gen. Dwight D.

Eisenhower's forces were massed for hue offensive. The American thrust into Germany 15 miles southeast of Aachen lost spfed as it collided with stiffening resistance after capturing the town of Schmidt, but forged ahead for small gains with the aid of fighter-bombers blasting German infantry and tanks in its path. In this area U. S. First Army, veterans were shoving down the last 1.000 yards toward the Roer River, the next and hardest enemy barrier on the way to the Rhine 28 miles to the east.

Having rolled beyond the thickest forests in this area the Americans were advancing against hastily dug field defenses and natural obstacles barriers which American officera believe may be tougher to crack than the breached concrete and steel belt of the Siegfried Line. 4 Miles Gained The assault was on a limited scale on a front of a little over 4.000 yards.

At Will Sum Up Campaign Republican Nominee's Camp Indicates He Will Pull No Punches in His Radio Speech at Rally In New York City Tonight By Associated Press ALBANY, N. Nov.

4. Two months of active campaigning and 20,000 miles of traveling take Gov. Thomas E. Dewey into New York City's Madison Square Garden tonight with a theme that the Republican presidential nominee has hammered at the voters "it's time for a change." Reviewing a little more than eight weeks of accelerated appeals for support that began in Philadelphia Sept. 7, the governor is expected to call again for a "house cleaning" in Washington in his final speaking appearance before next Tuesday's voting.

(Tle speech will be broadcast by NBC and CBS beginning at 10:30 o'clock tonight.) Governor Dewey will wind up his campaign with a nation-wide broad cast from the executive mansion Monday night before returning to New York City to vote. Fighting: Speech Indicated Indications in the Dewey camp were that the candidate would pull no punches in what has become his continuous attack on President Roosevelt's handling not only of domestic but foreign problems and upon what the governor has called the "subversive" elements he contends are attempting to take over the Democratic Party. The G. O. P.

nominee's supporters looked for a reiteration of the foreign policies he covered broadly at Minneapolis and Louisville, as well as a restatement of the philosophy of government outlined in what he considers his most constructive speech that at San Francisco. Dewey has pledged cooperation with other nations for the formation of an international security organization, insisting that there must be cooperation between the executive and legislative departments to btaia approval of the right kind of peace. At San Francisco he said there must be some degree of government intervention in the economic life of the country, but declared "no short cuts" evolved in government bureaus would solve this basic problem. Urged to Visit New England With President Roosevelt cam-naizninz in Connecticut and Massa chusetts, Dewey resisted appeals from some of the party leaders that he barnstorm into either Connect! cut or New Jersey. The Republican strategists feel, one of them said, that the election was set nearly two weeks ago that the bulk of the people then had made up their minds whether they were going to vote ior or against a fourth term.

Desnite this, Dewey went into Maryland Thursday for a crack at that state's eight electoral votes and on into the anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Miller explained that an av erage- of 30 alien soldiers has ap plied for naturalization papers every month during the last IS months. out that an average of only 20 has passed the requirements. Under federal statutes, aliens in the armed forces can become citizens within 33 days from date of their application for naturalization.

Mr. Miller formed a class of three refugees and taught them English and American history during his spare time.

They tried the same thing- In 1932 and 1936, he said, adding: "That type of campaign has been rebuked by the American people at the polls before and it will be again."
