It was anticipated here that an authoritative statement on how the Allies plan to deal with the volkssturm would be forthcoming from General Eisenhower's headquarters after a careful scrutiny of the laws of war.

Ivan D. Petrov's Fourth Ukrainian Army group thrust into Czechoslovakia on a 170-nnile front, capturing seven Carpathian mountain passes and slashing '31 miles across the eastern tip of Czechoslovakia into Transylvania. There Petrov's advance units were at or near full junction with Marshal Rodion Malinovsky's combined Russian and Romanian forces which previously had struck through Transylvania to the Chechoslovakian border from the south. Moscow remained silent on the East Prussian assault, but the Germans acknowledged terrific air and artillery bombardment along the frontier on a 30-mile front from Schirwindt to Kal-varija, and a major thrust to the border between Schirwindt and Virbalis. apparently aimed at In-sterburg, 37 miles inside East Prussia.

"I am equally convinced that to the extent that we leave our international relations to the personal secret diplomacy of the president, our efforts to achieve a lasting peace will fail. "In many directions today our 1 oreijn policy gives cause for deep anxiety." President Roosevelt Is due to address the Foreign Policy Association here Saturday night in his first speech outside of Washington since he opened his campaign for a fourth term. Dewey, emphasizing his stand that the building of an international peace organization should be a bi-partisan job, served notice on members of his own party as well as the Democrats that "we must not be diverted from our goal by the irreconcil-ables of either camp." are two great disasters which could occur to us," he said. "The first would be if a few individual rulers should in secret conferences try to the future peace of the world. "The second would be for any nation involved to break up into quarreling groups over individual proposals.

GOOD BEGINNING "We must make certain that our participation in this world organization is not subjected to reservations that would nullify the power of that organization to maintain peace and to halt future aggression. The surest way to invite disaster is to insist that everything must be perfect from the start." Reiterating his belief that the recent Dumbarton Oaks conference between the United States, Britain. Russia and China had made a "great beginning," the GOP candidate said: "It would be a profound tragedy If, after having reached a broad general area of agreement on the major principles, we should now fall to impatient quarreling over things still to be settled, "There are already those among us who want to attack the work that was done at Dumbarton Oaks because it did not go far enough. There are others, equally vehement, who are fearful that the plans go too far. "Extremists on both sides have missed the point.

The important point is that a beginning has been made." Stressing the importance he attaches to post-war world planning, Dewey said at the outset that the Nazi's last desperate act in launching "Hitler's blind weapon of revenge, the robot bomb," serves to warn us that another World War will not begin by 8 surprise attack on an outlying base, such as Pearl Harbor, "It will begin," he said, "when robot bombs launched thousands of miles away suddenly rain death and destruction on our major cities." Asserting the robot bomb has put us under the guns of any aggressor nation in the world, he declared: "We have had a narrow escape. We dare not take another chance. This war must be the last war."
