One of the main issues in Western Pennsylvania. Brownell said, was "Communist infiltration into the New Deal." It had reached uch a point, he said, that an "out-eider," Sidney Hillman. who was not a member of the Democratic party at all, had been "able to exercise a veto" on the nomination for vice president. The Communist wing, saiti Brownell, had "almost won its fight" for domination of the New Deal. And the national chairman said that as a result thousands would "either vote for Dewey and Bricker or stay away from the polls." That, he added, would be one of the factors in carrying Pennsylvania.

The Germans appeared to number about one division (possibly 10.000 men). "Obviously the enemy is trying to make a Cassino out of Aachen and stave off the Americans as long as possible in carrying out the Fuehrer's orders to fight to the death in protection of Reich soil," said Don Whitehead of the Associated Press, a witness of the desperate maneuver. Wednesday noon, an hour and 10 minutes after expiration of the Allied ultimatum to the German commander of Aachen' to surrender, hundreds of American big guns began throwing shells into historic Aachen and dive bombers began shattering and burning its ancient buildings.

To the west, Canadian forces slowly but steadily were closing a strangle-hold on Nazis who from two sides of the Schelde estuary have prevented Allied exploitation of the great Belgian port of Antwerp. The Allies captured Antwerp itself almost intact, with its miles of docks apparently in working order.

Governor Martin, said Brownell, is considered by national headquarters to be "one of the great Republicans of the day," and his "leadership will be a great factor In the victory we're going to achieve in November." Mr. Brownell spoke late the night before to a meeting of the "32 Club," composed of Pittsburgh ward chairmen, which was in session when he arrived in Pittsburgh and to which he was taken by County Chairman Malone.
