Dewey Hits New Deal
indispensable Man
n the Associated Press.

KINGSTON. N. Y, Oct lids
trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey Of
New York City, making his first up
state address in behalf of Wendell
L. Willkie, Republican presidential
nominee, last night denounced what
he termed the New Deals belief in
government by an indispensable
man."
"One of the great differences be-
tween the New Deal party and the
Republican party is that the New
Deal party believes in government
by an indispensable man and we
Republicans believe in government
under law by representatives of the
people," Mr.. Dewey said in a speech
at Municipal Auditorium.
THE longer man remains IN a
position of great power, the further
he is removed from the people, the
less he understands their needs and
the more interested he becomes in
power and power alone" he con-
tinued. Like the despots Of old, he
surrounds himself with ever-in-
creasing circles of little 'yes-men.'
Every day they tell him he is truly
the indispensable man."
True liberalism, he added, "was
never the creed Of any indispensable
man. Whenever free men find they
can trust their government only to
one indispensable man, then they
are no longer free.
This year We shall re-
affirm these fundamental truths:
That government by one man is the
forerunner of despotism; govern
nnent by law is the eternal guardian
at human freedom"

 But there are compensations. Like discovering for the first time there is more to England than the city. This little town, for example, is one-hour drive from the heart of London.

 Stoke Poges, England, Nov 29 - The evacuation of women and chil- dren from the crowded industrial centers of England may be the greatest social. upheaval since the industrial revolution, but you can't get the evacuees to believe it.
 To them the prospect of long win- ters months spent in the country where water is drawn from open wells and meals are still cooked over charcoal in greystone cottages is not too inviting. When they first ar rived in country billets they were excited and happy at the thought of complete change. But rain and winter nights have changed all that. MISS MOVIES
