DEWEY WILL SEEK
INDEPENDENT VOTE
ALBANY, Oct. 4— UP) —Indica
tions that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
planed to direct a larger share of
(,is presidential campaign appeals
toward the so-called “indepen
dent' voters developed today as
the Republican nominee labored
on an address scheduled for Char
leston. W. Va., Saturday night.
Ready to reply to any attacks
piesident Roosevelt may make in
a radio talk tomorrow night,
pewey huddled with Elliott V.
gell, his chief assistant in speech
writing
Although lacking any inkling of
what the President will say in his
broadcast, most of the Dewey
camp leaders appeared to believe
the phase of the campaign repre
sented by Mr. Roosevelt’s attack
Sept. 23 on the GOP, and Dewey’s
vigorous retort at Oklahoma City,
nlay have ended.
With the idea of taking advan
tage of developments as they oc
cur. Dewey and his advisers are
keeping his speaking dates for
the remainder of the campaign
subject to change.
In New York, the Republican
Rational Committee announced
Oct. 24 had been set for Minneapo
lis and the following day for Chi
cago. -Tames C. Hagerty, the
Governor’s executive assistant,
said tentative arrangements had
been made for Dewey to go to
Boston Nov. 1.
Hagerty said Dewey would not
go to St. Louis Oct. 12, contrary
to previous reports, and there
seemed to be doubt the nominee
would revisit Missouri. He went
to St. Louis for a Republican
Governors’ Conference early in
the campaign and made train
platform appearances at Monnet

PATTON FORCES
IN FORT D NT
(Continued from Page On|)
men and tanks, but information
reaching headquarters said they
were considerably lighter than
were to be expected in storming
one of the main fort rings of the
German defensive system.
One factor in this, officers said,
was that the Nazi apparently never
i expected infantry to slug through
' the barbed wire and moat defens
es and that fortress guns, conse
quently, would not depress far
enough to cover the last close-up
approaches. Patton’s men wriggled
under the big guns on their bellies.
By far, the most critical impor
tance' was attached to the First
army’s smash toward Cologne and
Dueesldorf. Paul Joseph Goebbels,
Germany’s mobilization director,
was reported by the German news
agency DNB to haverrushed to the
west and implored the war-weary
people to give the last ounce of
effort.
