Dewey Speech Gets
Favorable Reception
lin British Press
~ the Associated Press.

- Sue AS0OSAAtU0 xI0o1sE
LONDON, June 30.-Gov. Thomas
Z. Dewey's acceptance speech won
q favorable reception today In most
London newspapers as the British
press made Its first general comment
on the United States presidential
campaign.
The Times Of London said Gov.
Dewey had started the campaign on
q high level" and declared that II
1t Is continued on the same plane
"the cause Of free peoples will gain,
not lose, from the constitutional ne
cessity Of letting the American peo-
pie chose their leader in
victory and the critical dawn OF
peace" .
Declaring Americans have a right
to insist that foreign peoples keep
out OF American politics, the Times
added:
But interest is as legitimate q,
partisanship Is illegitimate. To ex.
|pect the British people to take nc
interest In the election Of the Com
mander In Chief Of the American
Army and Navy would be to expect
too much"
Under the headline Dewey Meets
800 Pressmen and Comes Out Well
the London News Chronicles CORE
spondent said
Il got the impression at the
first press conference of Gov. Ton
Dewey - that he wanted to sound
more liberal than the Republican
party's election program has
sounded since it came out two
days ago."
The laborite Daily Herald's corre-
spondent at Chicago said that "On
the whole Dewey's) speech In spite
of Its indeflniteness was more for
ward looking than the party's plat
form, but it failed to arouse any
great enthusiasm. OF the dele.
gates the correspondent said, I'm

that they have been attending a

CHICAGO, June 30.-Thomas E.
Dewey will not make any carelessly
prepared speeches in his campaign
for President.
His Heutenants say he spends SO
hours working out an average speech
He likes short, clipped sentences.
They're easy to absorb and listen to-
When he makes point. he gives
time for it to sink in before going
on to the next one. His speeches are
short. None Of this is accidental.
He went out and got instructions
In speaking when he started talking
In the political big time back in 1888
Lowell Thomas, radio COM
mentator, is . close friend. He has
helped Gov. Dewey In radio de-
livery. Often Gov. Dewey tries out
speeches on his wife.
Sometimes he has recordings OF
. speech made-before publicly de-
lfvering it-and plays 1t over to
learn how he sounds. Then he
makes corrections in words and
accents.
Some Of Gov. Dewey's closest lieu
tenants-former New York news
papermen whom he met and hired
after becoming Governor - credit
Gov. Dewey with natural talent
for speech writing. They say he
speaks In short sentences anyway.
He is careful to use the experience
and writing talent Of the ex-news-
|papermen on his staff. They are:
Hickman Powell, now q free-lance
writer who works for MIR. Dewey on
day-by day basis on special occa-
sions; James G. Haggerty, who
handles Gov. Dewey's public rela-
tions; Elliot Bell, New York's super
intendent of banks, and Harold
Keller, director of State publicity.

he continued for another year.
In particular it should be noted
that the Congress rejected all pleas
which would require any general
change in the wage, price and SUBJ
sidy policies now In effect.
During the past three months,
while the Extension Act was under
consideration and debate in the
Congress, the clamor of pressure
groups was loud in the land. I think
it Is q source Of qualification that In
spite of this clamor the Congress
has stood Arm against any departure
from the basic principles which have
made it possible for us to hold the
line.
Some Of the amendments intro
duced in the Sterilization Extension
Act may make it somewhat harder
to hold the line. But I am advised
by the enforcing agencies that in
their opinion the line can be held
against inflationary price increases
If they are supported in . Arm adj
ministration Of the law In accord

Concerned Over Enforcement.
"Tne provisions Of the Extension
Act which give me the most con-
Germ are those relating to enforce
ment. No act Is any better than its
enforcement. No act, least Of all q
price control act, can be effectively
enforced without the support Of the
people affected by it. But people
tend to become careless in the OBJ
servance of even good law II 1t is
not enforced against the fringe Of
chiselers who will violate q law
whenever they think they can get
away with it.
Il know that the Congress In re-
laxing the penalties against nom
willful violations was anxious to
protect only those acting In good
faith and not those who do not wish
to know what the law requires OF
them. But fear that the changes
made viii weaken and obstruct the
effective enforcement Of the law. I
hope that experience may not justify
my fear. But II 1t should turn out
that the enforcing officers encounter
serious difficulties in bringing

and considered all the complaints

made clear that it is the wish, not
Of few Government officials, but
Of all our people that the line

IT think the occasion is appropri-
ate to express deep appreciation Of
the splendid work done by the on
cials charged with enforcing the sta

the workers in the field onices, and
