President Preparing
For Busy Week End;
Reported Optimistic

Repeatedly optimistic over his
chances for victory on November 7,
President Roosevelt today was pre-
pairing for a busy week end in his
fourth-term campaign.
For several days, the President
has been doing some work on the
major speeches scheduled In Phila-
delphia tomorrow night and in Chi
cago Saturday night, and while the
subject Of the Chicago talk has not
been disclosed, it will not be sur
prising II Mr.. Roosevelt has some
thing to say about the sale of
privilege" charge made there last
night by his Republican opponent,
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey.
The Philadelphia speech, to be
delivered at Shibe Park rally, will
be directed to the business interests
OF the country, and perhaps will
carry an assurance of sympathetic
consideration of the postwar prob
lens with which industry will be
confronted.
That the President Is satisfied
with the election outlook was made
known yesterday after a group of
Liberal party leaders called at the
White House. Alex Rose OF New
York, administrative chairman OF
the party, said the President felt he
would carry most" of the States.
1t was the first time such an ex-
preston of views had been attrib-
uted to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr. Rose said the Roosevelt Tru-
man ticket would carry New York
by 300, 900 votes. In 1910 Mr.. Roose.
velt's majority was 224,0O0.

Talk With President
About 1000 Club
Denied by Hannegan
Ry the Associated Press.

Es the ASSoClateo fIesS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26--A declara-
ton by Gov. Thomas e. Dewey, Re-
publican presidential nominee, in.
his Chicago speech last night that
President Rooseveits administration
boldly offers for sale special priv
ilege,'" has been denied by Demo-
cratic National Committee Chair
man Robert e. Hannegan. Z.
Replying to Gov. Dewey's refer
ence to the "One Thousand Club"
Mr.. Hannegan said in a statement
last night: "a.
II have never discussed with the
President the organization of the
Thousand Club and any quotation
contained in the letter read tonight
by Gov. Dewey attributed to the
President is wholly without sub
stance and is unauthorized"
II have been advised by Edwin w.
Pauley, treasurer of the National
Committee, that such an organiza-
ton has been established in an ef-
fort to raise funds to defray cam
paign expenses. Those who sub
scribe $1,000 are making an invest
ment in democracy and the project
has my approval.
Referring to a letter quoted by
Gov. Dewey which the Republican
candidate said was written last
October is on stationery of the Lit
tie Rock (Ark.) national Democratic
headquarters, inviting membership
in the "One Thousand Club" Mr.
Hannegan said:
Il have never seen the letter Mr..
Dewey referred to and it is COM
pletely ridiculous to assert that any
one who makes a contribution to the
Democratic National Committee will
be the recipient of special favors."
Mr.. Hannegan added that since
"the Democratic National Commit
tee does not have angels OF the type
of Joe Pew of Pennsylvania, who
has contributed s13,000,000 to the
Republican party" 1t had developed
a project ito interest liberal and
progressive business and professional
people who are able to make a con-
tribution OF $1,000" to assist in
the campaign.
In Washington White House Press
Secretary Stephen Early, when
asked for comment on Gov Dewey's |
assertion, read Mr.. Hannegan's |
statement to newspapermen and
said:
I'm the light of that I don't think |
any White House comment is called |
for or necessary"

Blue Chain Gives Dewey
Farm-Home Radio Time
Nv the A..o.,.t.h p,.xs

BY the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department said
yesterday that the Blue Networks
regular Farm and Home Hour pro-
gram scheduled for 1890 pm. Sat-
urday has been cancelled and that
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey is scheduled
to use the time to outline his farm
policies.
Wallace L. Kadderly, chief Of the
Agriculture Departments radio sec
ton, said the network had not con-
suited the department before cancel
ing the program. Mr.. Kadderly said
he had requested the network to
announce at the outset of Gov.
Dewey's speech that the regular pro-
gram Of the Agriculture Department
had been cancelled and that Gov.
Dewey was speaking on time pur-
chased by the Republican National
Committee.
I'm the minds of a great many
people the Farm and Home Hour
is synonymous with the Agriculture
Department" Mr.. Kadderly said,
"and many people are going to
think that the Agriculture Depart
ment has made a deal with the Re-
publican National Committee for
the time.
That is unfortunate. The pro-
gram has never been used as a
forum for the discussion Of partisan
politics"
Mr. Kadderly explained that the
Blue Network contributed the time
for the Farm and Home program,
with the department using about IL
minutes out of the 80 minutes each
Saturday for a discussion of agri-
cultural affairs. Therefore, he said,
the Blue Network could do anything
it wished with the time.
Gov. Dewey's address will be
broadcast from Syracuse, it was

|Afro-American Backs
Dewey as He Pledges
Race Prejudice Fight

A letter from Gov. Dewey pledging
himself to oppose discrimination
against Negroes In employment and
military service was published in
the Afro-American today. In the
same issue the paper announced its
support of Gov. Dewey for President.
Gov. Dewey's letter said, in part:
while I do not believe for q mo-
nnent that the unique injustices
suffered by the Negro today can
be wiped away overnight, / have
too much faith in the conscience
OF America ever to believe that this
question of race relations is i'm
possible Of solution.
THE custom of hiring Negro
workers last and Of letting them go
first because Of the color of their
skin and without regard to their
diligence or abilities is an evil prac-
tice which strikes fundamentally at
our goal of equal opportunity.
Inquiry Is Promised.
1.-THE platform of the Republican
party also condemns without reser-
vation the injection into American
life of racial and religious prejudice.
Further, in full recognition Of the
harsh conditions from which many
OF our Negroes in the armed forces
suffer, this platform demands an
immediate inquiry to get at the
facts of mistreatment, segregation
and discrimination practiced upon
Negroes In our armed forces and
the adoption OF corrective measures.
This Is my party's stand on these
issues. 1t is my stand and 1t Is my
public pledge that these promises
will be fulfilled. ~"
The Afro-American newspapers,
which have their headquarters in
Baltimore. distribute editions in
Washington. Newark, Philadelphia
and Richmond. The papers sup
ported Mr.. Roosevelt in 1882 and
1886. In 1910 they backed Wendell
L. Willkie.
Seven Reasons Outlined.
The editorial Announcing support
OF Mr.. Dewey contained seven num-
bered reasons. First was discrim-
nation in the armed services and
Gov. Dewey's assurance that he will
not tolerate it." Second was the
fourth term, a precedent that may
become tragic for any minority. I"
Third was "l6 years is beyond the

is the ultimate expression Of New
Deal politics by the theory Of who
gets what, when and why" Gov.
Dewey observed. Further On in his
speech the Republican candidate de-
clared:
"And the sponsor of this idea Is
frankly stated in that letter to be
the President of the United States.
The man who holds the highest
ONCE within the gift of the Amer
ican people, at a conference in the
White House sponsors an idea to
sell special privilege ond voice
in the formulation of administra-
ton policies for $1,000 on the bar
relhead. That's another reason why
It's time for change"
He followed this up with the pre-
diction that "in the new admins
tration that takes Office 1ext jan
uary 20 there will be nospecial privi-
lege for sale to anys one at any
price"
With women voters outnumbering
men for the first time, the Repub-
lican nominee made a strong bid
for the support OF the feminine
electorate. He said he and Gov.
Bricker appreciate the work they are
doing In the campaign, and added:
The women of America have an
especial interest in this campaign
because they know that the decision
they make will determine the kind
of country their husbands, BROTH
ers, sons and sweethearts will return
to when the war is over.
They know, too, that the decision
We make next November Z will de-
termine whether America is to have
the kind of government which can
carry through to success the hopes
OF all of US for world cooperation
TO prevent future wars. And women
are also deeply concerned in this

This is an invitation to you to

at a recent conference in the White
House between the President, Rob-
ert E. Hannegan, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
and Edwin E, Pauley, treasurer of
the committee At this meeting the
President commented:
"I think it would be good idea
to have a list of 1000 persons,
banded together from all over the
United States, to act as a liaison
to see that facts relating to the

members of Congress-

President Declares Measure Would
Raise Entire Cost of LIVING

The tert OF President Roose-
Delts message today petoing the
tood subsidy bill tollows::
To the House OF Representatives:
received yesterday Afternoon,
February II, 1944-HR 3477 Is 1859
"a bill which extends the life OF the
Commodity Credit Corp. until June
80, 1945, but which, by its restrictive
provisions, would compel an incxease
in the cost Of food and the cost OF
living to the people of the United
States.
I promptly return the bill, without
my signature, and urgently recon-
mend that the Congress take action
as soon as possible to extend, with
out hampering restrictions, the life
Of the Commodity Credit Corp.
Farmers could thereby make plans
for the planting of crops and know
the support prices on which they
can rely.
The reasons for my disapproval of
HR 3477-my most emphatic and
vigorous disapproval-must already
be known to every Senator and every
Representative. The issue of using
Government funds to hold down the
cost Of living is not a new issue, and
my views on it have been expressed
before and at some length, particu-
larly In my message vetoing a sifni-
lar bill (HR 2869) on July 2, 1913.
This bill, like that bill, is an in
flation measure. high cost OF living
measure, food shortage measure.
This bill will raise the cost of food
in the Bureau of Labor Statistics
index not less than 7 per cent and
will raise the whole cost OF living
materially.
