Dewey has promised to fire if he is elected President, wrote Dewey today that it would not be necessary to purge him because he would resign "effective if, as, and when the incredible comes to pass and you become the President." 1 I rssrB 1 Baffle oi PAC A 'Class-War, Says HiESmaii Charges that attacks on the CIO Political Action Committee constitute "not so much a political war as a class war" were hurled yesterday by Sidney Hillman, PAC chairman: Addressing the convention of the CTO United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers at Manhattan Center, Hillman accused Thomas E. Dewey, Republican Presidential of distorting President Roosevelt's words regarding the need of preparing for the present war. The G. O. Hillman added, has resorted also to the "Bolshevik bogy." "The truth is that reactionary leadership is badly frightened," he asserted.

"It concentrates its fire upon the PAC because it knows that our organization is a strong liberal influence in both of the major political parties." Hillman placed at $371,080.56 the PAC's total expenditure from July, 1943, to Aug. 15, 1944. Of this, he said, more than three-fourths was for salaries, travel, rent, equipment and publicity. The Republicans, by contrast, spent $16,000,000 in the 1940 national campaign and the Democrats spent $6,000,000, Hillman asserted. 'Bang' Told Board He Wanted a Tire Simsbury, Sept.

The second time that "you took note of me it was clear that I was really in your hair. The third time, I was worried. I became afraid that I might be the innocent cause of your having a nervous breakdown.

Gives Resignation Reasons. "Hence, I hereby resign as Secretary of the Interior effective, if, as and when, the incredible comes to pass, and you become the President of the United States. However, as a candidate for that office you should have known the primary school fact that the cabinet of an outgoing President automatically retires with its chief. But your campaign utterances indicate that if there is one thing that you dislike more than Harold Ickes, it is facts. "It is customary to give a brief statement of the reasons for 'resignation Mine are: First, your disregard for the truth; second, your unrelieved record of contempt for I' Fliers' Deaths Laid to Foe Cairo, Sept.

United States and urged members "not to be startled or carried away by sensational reports." Land of Free Speech. "The United States is a land of free speech," he said. "Nowhere in the -world is speech freer; not even here where we sedulously cultivate it, even in its most repulsive form. 'when I see some of the accounts given of conversations I am supposed to have had with the President of the United States, I can only recall a Balfourian phrase of many years ago when he said that the accounts given bore no more relation to the actual facts than the wildest tales of the Arabian Nights to the ordinary incidents of domestic life in the East." The President and he, he said, had reached "complete agreement" on every point at the Quebec conference, adding that "in this war there has been none of those differences between professional and political elements aj were such a large feature of the last war." dolls, who prowl the town's cigarets after dark, yesterday Station on charges that they Lloyd Breisch, an Army flier Y. who lives there.

"The doctor gave instructions that he shouldn't be moved, but the next day he asked the Bulgarian ward boy for a bed pan.

Instead of giving it to him, the ward boy grabbed him by the shoulders and jerked him upright. All stitches ripped loose and almost immediately blood flowed from his mouh and nose and he died right there." ir May Run ment's decision to permit the formation of a Jewish brigade to fight with the Allies, Churchill said amid cheers: "I know there are a vast number of Jews serving with our forces and the American forces throughout all armies, but it seems to be indeed appropriate that a special Jewish unit of that race which has suffered indescribable torment from the Nazis should be represented as a distinct formation among the forces gathered for their final overthrow." Gives Troop Ratio. In Fiance, he said, the proportion of British troops to Americans was two to three in total men and four to 5 in combat troops. The casualties, he pointed out, were proportionate. Mentioning the Burma campaign, Churchill said that it was "a startling fact" that it had been "the largest and most important ground fighting that has yet taken place against the armies of Japan." Japan, he said, had lost between 50,000 and 60,000 men killed and, amid laughter, he added that "several hundred" prisoners had been captured.

British Empire forces lost more than 40,000 casualties in fighting to the end of June, he said, and 237,000 cases of illness had been suffered in the intolerable climate. He intimated strongly that the Empire forces would again take the offensive after the monsoon season. It was in deprecating undue optimism regarding the end of the war in Europe that Churchill said: "Many persons of the highest technical attainments, knowledge and responsibility have good hopes it will all be over by the end of 1944. On the other hand no one certainly not I can guarantee that several months of 1945 may not be required. "There is also the possibility that after organized resistance of the German army and state is completely broken, fierce warfare may be maintained in the forests and i mountains of Germany by num a bers of desperate men conscious of their own guilt and impending doom.

"It may be necessary for the Allies to declare at a certain date that actual war against the German state hascome to an end and period of mopping up of bandits and war criminals has begun." But it would not be necessary, he said, to await the final end of fighting to shift Allied power against Japan, and he revealed that a large part of Britain's fleet already had gathered in the Indian Ocean. "We hope to place in the Pacific a fleet capable in itself of fighting a general action with the Japanese navy," he said. Again proving himself a master at coining the word to express his thought, he said that for a year past Britain's modern battleships have been undergoing modernization and "tropicalization" to meet conditions in the Far East. Churchill reminded he House, amid laughter from both sides, that there is an election on in the held pending official notification of families of their release.

impose restraints upon those vivid imaginative strategists who carry fleets and armies across the globe as easily as they would help themselves to a pla4e of soup." Churchill reviewed the collapse of Romania and Finland and turning to Bulgaria said she had turned "her caitiff arms" against Germany because Russia had declared war on her. He denounced the 'many acts of cruelty and wickedness" of Bulgaria against Greece and Yugoslavia. "Some of the worst criminals are Bulgarians," Churchill said. "The conduct of their troops is a shameful page for which full atonements must be exacted. They want to be treated as a co-belligerent.

So far as Britain is concerned, they must work their passage for a long time and in no uncertain fashion meanwhile, let them march and destroy all the Germans they can find in enemy lands. We do not want them in the lands of the allies." Churchill divided his speech into two main parts, military and political. There was a luncheon recess of 57 minutes between the military and political Praises U. S. Lavishly.

Generous throughout his speech in praise of the United States, Churchill said: "The vast and brilliant encircling movements of the American armies will ever be a model of military art and an example of the propriety of running risks." He included the British and Canadian forces in his praise of "lightning advances which certainly have not been surpassed anywhere." Then he spoke of the tragic sacrifice made by the British 1st Airborne Division in its part -of the British American Polish airborne operation in Holland. He told how the British troops in fighting on against hopeless odds had aided the Allied operations as a whole and said: 'Not in vain may be the pride of those who survived and the epitaph of those who fell."

But he pointed out that the Germans had lost perhaps 400,000 killed and wounded, nearly 500,000 prisoners and possibly 200,000 men now trapped in Holland. In the political field, Churchill forecast a second Roosevelt-Stalin-Churchill conference, possibly before the end of the year. He foresaw a long period of transition in Europe in which the three great Allies would be trustees for all United Nations, while an attempt was made to attain a just peace and a firm world security organization.

Churchill said Poland must give territory to Russia. He promised recognition of the regime of Gen. de Gaulle of France as a provisional government when interim elections have been held. He forecast the collapse of Hungary. In a speech in which he reached the heights of his oratorical powers, Churchill saved his most bitter phrases for Hitler, the Japs and Bulgaria.

Asserting that the Allies owed a great debt to the "extraordinary" blunders of the Germans, Churchill said: Plan to Hammer Japs. "I always hate comparing Napoleon with Hitler as it seems an insult to the great emperor and warrior to connect him with a squalid caucus boss and butcher When Hitler escaped his bomb July 20, he described his survival as providential. I think from a purely military point of view we can agree with him. But certainly it would be most unfortunate if the Allies were to be deprived in the closing. phases of the struggle of that form of warlike genius by which Co.rp.

Schicklgruber has so notably contributed to our victory." "I can assure the House that the war against the Japanese and other diseases of the jungle will be pressed forward with the utmost energy," he said of the Pacific war. In this connection, he cautioned that shipping limitations would be a problem in getting thvj combined Allied strength into the Pacific.
