Aug. 24, (JP) Prospect that the European war may end before American voters choose their next President pro vided an undisguised lift in the spirits of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's supporters today although Demo crats generally were inclined to discount the effect on the'Novem ber 7 election. The Republican Presidential nominee was silent about the political reaction that might come with the defeat of Germany, but some of his friends expressed the belief the New York Governor's chances would be enhanced by developments that might offset the Democratic plea for retention of President Roosevelt as commander in chief.

It was evident they considered the announced liberation of Paris long step toward victory and Dewey himself lost no time in issuing a formal statement yester day that it meant "the beginning of the end of Nazi domination in Europe." Calling on Germany and Japan to surrender before the con sequences to them become more severe, Dewey predicted 'that the Allied Armies sweep onward to Berlin. At tne same time, he said "we must not relax for one moment in our all out war effort until Germany and Japan are so utterly defeated that the people of their countries shall vow 'never Many Democrats contend that the cessation of hostilities in Europe will produce peace problems that may be of more lasting importance than the war itself and!

that President Roosevelt has had the oDDortunitv to become more familiar with these problems than any other American. Dewey, who has predicted that the next President will serve more of his four year term in peace than in wartime, has taken occa sion recently to identify himself publicily with the consideration of post war problems. He is expected to devote much of his attention to peace problems, both at home and abroad, in his major campaign speeches.

Election Results ay Be Delayed 7 By Soldier Vote (Copyright, 1944. by the Asso. Press) New York, A.ug. 24, (JP) Because 11 states will not count their soldier votes on election day, November 7, it is possible that the outcome of the 1944 Presidential election will remain in doubt for several weeks after the polls close. Should the election be unusually close, the winner might not be known until as late as December 7, when the canvass of Nebraska's absentee vote could determine whether the State's seven electoral votes would be cast for President Roosevelt or Governor Thomas E.

Dewey. These possibilities grow out of an Associated Press survey which indicates that more than 2,000,000 men and women in the armed forces have applied for absentee ballots and that, by the most conservative estimates of State election officials, approximately twice that number will vote in Novem ber. The soldier vote is likely to be decisive in most of the 11 states which do not immediately tabulate it, ana the 11 including Pennsyl vania with 36, California with 22 and Missouri with 15 have a combined electoral vote of 116. President Wilson's electoral mar gin over Charles Evans Hughes in 191b was only 23. In Pennsylvania, where officials expect 200,000 to 300.000 soldier ballots, the absentee vote will be counted November 22.

"The votes of 100,000 to 125,000 persons could easily swing a close election," commented a member of Governor Edward Martin's official family. California, whose Secretary of State predicts a service vote of 175,000 to 200,000, will not canvass it until November 24. Missouri, receiving more than 1000 ballot applications daily, will start counting absentee votes the Fri day after election day.
