Hannegan Says Dewey
Seeks 10 MisIead
Voters on Peace
By the Associated Press.

by the ASSOClateu freSS. =
NEW YORK, Oct. .25.-Democratic
National Chairman Robert E. Ham
negan said today, in commenting on
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's Minneapolis
speech, that his voice was the
voice of a junior Harding, and
while the American people can be
deceived once, they can't be taken
for ride a second time
Dewey attempted to paint a
false picture for the American
people last night" Mr.. Hannegan
said in formal statement at his
press conference. He sought to
make it appear that only If he were
President, everything would be
serene and harmonious on the issue
of international collaboration.
Dewey knows this Is untrue and.
I suspect, he knows that the Ameri-
can people will not be led by his
shallow trick of seeking to convey
the impression that he has got
everything all sewed up with Re-
publican isolationists.
Mentions johnson and Fish.
Commenting that Gov. Dewey had
received kilograms from Senators
White of Maine, Austin of Vermont,
Taft of Ohio. Wherry of Nebraska
and Vandenberg of Michigan and
Representative Martin of Massachu-
setts pledging support of his leader
ship in cooperating with other ma
tions for world peace, sMr. Hanne-
gan said:
Il ask Gov. Dewey where we're his
kilograms from Senator Hiram
johnson, who, in the unlikely event
of a Republican victory would be
chairman of the all-powerful Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, and
Of Senator Gerald Nye, who will be
chairman of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations? And did he hear
from Ham Fish, who would be
chairman of the most powerful con-
gressional committee-the House
Rules Committee?
"% ." Even if he could have had
kilograms from Hiram johnson and
Ham Fish, this would not have ad-
vanced his cause. The people simply
wouldn't believe their sudden change
of viewpoint to be any more sincere
than the 18th hour conversion of
Dewey himself. to say nothing of
Taft and Vandenberg. This sham
won't get Mr.. Dewey anywhere.
Referring to John Foster Dulles,
adviser to Dewey on foreign affairs
as "Dewey's teacher" Mr.. Hanne-
gan said:
On foreign policy Mr. Dewey has
been cribbing, like high school de-
batter, under the tutelage of Mr..
Dulles, who said Just after the inva-
sion of Czechoslovakia and a few
months before the invasion of Po-
land only hysteria entertains the
idea that Germany, Italy, and Japan
contemplate war upon u.s.
"Mr. Deweys prospective Secretary
of State went even further and after
Pearl Harbor gave voice to these
sentiments: The world stands to
gain and not lose from an economi-
cally, prosperous and stable Japan.
Care must be taken that this
disarmament does not cripple basic
peacetime industry. Japan
should be allowed to retain a mer-
chant fleet. Disarmament
should not be made a permanent
unilateral arrangement. - -"

Union Argument Forces
Auto Workers OFF Jobs

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Oct. 25.-The Chrysler
Corp. charged today that between
400 and 500 employees of the De
Soto Wyoming plant here engaged
in a dispute over a change in shift
time last night which forced 112
other employees to leave their jobs.
The statement charged that the
United Automobile Workers (CIO)
Local 227, in protest against the
change, had ordered workers to
quit one-half to one and one half
hours early each day. When second
shift employees ignored the order,
the Chrysler statement said, other
employees paraded through their de-
partment "and forced by boos, cat
calls and showing, practically all of
the 1l2 people off their jobs"

World Peace 10 Rest
On Youth Education,
Mrs. Roosevelt Says

World peace cannot be insured,
Mrs. Roosevelt declared last night
All we can do is lay the best founda-
tions possible and then prepare
youth for taking up its responsibility
in carrying 1t through.
Mrs. Roosevelt, addressing Serv-
icemen's Wives for Roosevelt and
members of the District Democratic
Central Committee who jammed
the Congressional room of the Will
lard Hotel, laughed as she prefaced
her talk of the evening with the
remark:
When was invited to speak to-
night I said / couldn't come and
make a political speech because it
must seem very obvious where I
stood in politics.
Peace Is Not Written.
Discussing the winning of the
peace" as one of the most impor-
tant issues of the day, Mrs. Roose-
velt said, I'VE have learned you just
don't write a peace We know that
the best We can hope to do at the
start is to set up machinery and
work for good will among nations"
Mrs Roosevelt reiterated her be-
lief that the three most important
issues today are winning the war,
winning the peace and being sure
that the kind of economy after the
war means jobs for those who want
to work at living wages"
Referring to the coming election,
Mrs. Roosevelt declared this is a.
year in which no one can afford to
forego the privilege and duty of
voting. She said that in New York
she saw long queues of people wait
ing to register and she had heard
that some waited until the doors
closed without being registered.
Peoples Expression Cited.
The large turnout in New York,
she explained, showed me that
many people were thinking about
the need this year of expressing
themselves"
Other speakers of the evening in
