funds for the payment of poll taxes
due by service personnel under the

acts

Dewey Talk Awaited
As ; COP Governors
Hit Roosevelt Backer,
BY the Associated Press.

os INC ASSOClhteQ fTeSS.
PAWLING, N. Y, Sept. "A per-
sonal challenge by Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey Of President Roosevelts H.
year record in office appeared in the
making today in the wake of criti-
cism by three Republican Governors
Of some Of the Presidents fourth
term supporters.
The three Governors, Andrew F..
Schoeppel of Kansas, Edward Mar
tin of Pennsylvania, and Edward j.
Thye of Minnesota, directed barbed
shafts at Sidney Hillman of the CIO
Political Action Committee, Earl
Browder of the Communists organ
ization and Senator Truman of
Missouri, the Democratic Vice Presi-
dental nominee, in radio talks last
night.
But none voiced any direct criti-
cism of President Roosevelt himself,
and political observers here con-
cluded that this phase of the cam
paign carefully was being kept
clear for the Republican presidential
nominee when he starts a series Of
seven campaign broadcasts in tour
beginning with a talk at Philadel-
phia the night of September 7.
Worked on Talks Over Week.
Gov. Dewey has been at work on
these speeches at his Pawling farm
for more than a week.
Dewey aides completed today an
assignment of train space for 70
press and radio reporters, photog-
raphers and newsreel cameramen.
They said this turnout for a 6,7OO-
miles trip touching 81 States was
larger than that for similar tours
in the 1910 campaign which found
Wendell L. Willkie pitted against
Mr.. Roosevelt.
Three more Republican Govern
ors, Walter E. Edge of New Jersey,
Harry F. Kelly OF Michigan and
Arthur B. Langlie of Washington,
will join the radio campaign with
broadcasts next Tuesday night.
Gov. Schoeppel, speaking from Kan
sas City. Mo-. assailed the Political
Action Committee. He said: TT has
as its head Sidney Hillman. 1t
takes its doctrines direct from Earl
Browder. This Earl Browder-S Sid
ney Hillman Political Action Com
mittee is not Democratic. 1t is
made in the image of nothing that
is American. 1t is an import, an
item by item, chapter and verse
import of the fatal political doc
trines Of Europe, which time and
time again destroyed Europe's free
dom and everything else worth
while
Martin Raps Truman.
Gov. Martin. speaking at Harris
burg. Pa, asserted that since his
nomination Senator Truman had
not repeated his statement that the
war might be lost in Washington
because of "red tape and bureau
cratic waste" because when he made
it he was only a United States
Senator bent on winning the war"
while now he is "a candidate hungry
for votes"
Gov. Thye, quoted in an address
from Minneapolis. Gov. Dewey's
statement-"America is young and
does not know defeat"-and praised
his political doctrine and vision
for the future of America"
What welcome relief it is," he
said, after the name-calling, hate
making, backward-looking talk of
recent"

dicate among other things that the
important element of surprise had
been attained.
They suggested that one factor
accounting for this might be lack
of adequate specialized air defense
equipment-night fighter planes
antiaircraft guns and detection
equipment-in the homeland areas
Perhaps the Japanese, flushed with
their early successes and operating
during an offensive phase, moved a
quantity of this equipment to the
perimeters of their defenses at the
expense of home areas and, more
over, gave production of such equip
ment low priority.
Detection Equipment Weak.
Particular interest was attached
to the possibility of an insufficiency
Of detection equipment. The re-
port of weak fighter opposition in
dicated that the attacking force
was able to approach close to the
target areas before the enemy sent
his fighters into the air-too late
for good interception results.
In the June Is attack on Yawata
the only bomber to fall in the target
area was shot down by antiaircraft
fire instead of fighter planes. Two
others crashed on the return flight
and one plane was listed as missing
