A non-partisan welcome for
Governor and Mrs. Thomas E..
Dewey at her Oklahoma town
came today as a peaceful lull in
presidential campaign headed
toward increasing storminess
now that both presidential NOM
ineeS have waded into the rough
and tumble.
Dewey served advance notice
that his vigorous, crowd-pleaS-
ing attack on President Roose-
welt last night at Oklahoma City
would be only the beginning of
an intensified discussion of what
he calls the desperately bad"
record of the New Deal and a
need to restore integrity in the
White House."
He called for ousting of an
administration which reckless
ly hurls charges of falsehood
concerning things it knows to be
the truth"
This was in reply to Mr..
Roosevelt's Saturday night &C
cusation that Republican leaders
are classifying campaign issues,
Dewey stressed his contention
that the administration let the
pre-war defense program fall
into shocking state"
After stopping for the well
come today at Sapulpa, and
then at Tulsa, the New York
governor heads back to Albany,
there to work on State matters
and to line up new blows at Mr..
Roosevelt.
The latter, an ex-governor of
New York himself, may 60 back
there for campaign speeches
also. Democratic Chairman Rob-
ert E. Hannegan told a news
conference that the President
probably would talk in New
York City during the last week
of the campaign and may make
more than one speech in New
York State"
A quip which drew applause
from Dewey's audience last
night was that Mr.. Roosevelt
waits to shed his vice-presi-
dents until they have served at
least one term"
The outgoing vice-president,
Henry A. Wallace, meanwhile
was disclosed to be undertaking
a heavy October oratoric a !
schedule for the Roosevelt-Tru-
man ticket.
He already has stumped In
New York and at Washington
associates said he will campaign
in Pennsylvania shortly, then in
Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and
perhaps other midWestern states.

Sept. 26 - up - The Federal
Court trial of Morton Thomas,
so, of Byran, Ohio, on a charge
of employing child labor has
been postponed for third time
this time until March, 1915

Thomas was unable to stand the
strain of a trial.

and Mrs. Martha Watkins, 38,
manager of his Benton Harbor
firm, were accused by District
Attorney Joseph F. Deeb of hir-
ing 20 under-age children in

Two children, one IL and the

Thanks 10 shipments of Amer

an eye disease that reached al
most epidemic proportions in
parts of liberated Russia, has
been virtually eliminated in the
Smolensk region, according 10
word received today by c. V. Ii
tus, chairman of the Macomb
County United War Fund.
Smolensk, which celebrates a
year of liberation on Sept. IS,
received the desperately needed
vitamin A two months ago, and
already it has worked wonders
in the treatment of eye ailments,
Titus has been informed by DR..
Pauline Sidorenko, head sur
geon of Smolensk Hospital.
Shipments of medicines, cloth
ing, foodstuffs, etc, TO our hard
hit Soviet allies through Russian
War Relief are among the
many humanitarian prof zee S
made possible by contributions
of the people of Macomb County
TO the National War Fund, of
which Russian War Relief is a
member agency.
Night blindness, according to
DIR. Sidorenko, was one of the
most prevalent of the many
diseases resulting from the star
walton diet imposed on millions
of Soviet men, women and chill
dren who lived through the hor-
rors of Nazi occupation of west
ern Russia.
LAS soon as our hospitals and
clinics were reopened in the
liberated territory" she report
ed, "emaciated men and women
queued up in long lines-some
of them hardly able to stand,
others almost blind from exhaus-
ton and starvation.
Our doctors rejoiced when
the vitamin shipments arrived
from Russian War Relief, and
we at once distributed them
among the hospitals in our re-
gion. The results have been al
most miraculous, and I shall
never be able to tell you how
deeply the Soviet people appre-
ciate this help sent by their
American friends in our hour of
greatest need"
Titus said that word received
from other Russian sources dis
closed the American vitamin
shipments had been equally eff
fective in treating alimentary
dystrophia and other severe dis
eases resulting from vitamin de-
ficiencies.

Budget Figures
Show Deficit
For 18Th Time

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. up
President Roosevelt's budget experts
are preparing a 1916 financial pro-
gram which may fall somewhat
short of the 100000, 900, ,000-a-year
rate of expenditure schedules for
the fiscal years l945 and 1916.
The 1916 budget will be submit
ted to congress in the latter part
OF the first week Of January, Gay
O, so after the new 18th congress
meets for the first time on Janu-
airy 8. 1t will be Mr.. Roosevelt's 18th
consecutive deficit budget.
Belief that the 1916 fiscal year
budget may go below 100000, ,000,-
900 is based on the fact that spend
ing OF that sum during the cur
rent fiscal year is tagging some
what behind schedule. Secretary of
Treasury Henry Morgenthau. Jr.,
added up the figures as of Novem-
Der 80 for the first five months of
the current fiscal year and found:
Total expenditures so far, S37,-
$50 ,Co0.00O
Total receipts so far, $4,000, ,O00,- =
600.
The difference between those fig
ures represents the sum oy which
the treasury has gone in the red
since midnight of last June go
The deficit figure for the month of
November alone was S5,597 ,0O0, 900
But the biggest figure on Morgen-
thaus books is the public debt, a
little item of s2l6, ,537 900, 900 for
which it is estimated that in this
fiscal year the taxpayers will have
to dig up s3,75O,OO0,0 900 just to pay
interest.
When Mr.. Roosevelt submitted
his current l945 budget last Janu-
airy ne estimated expenditures at
S99, ,769 100000 and receipts from
taxes and such sources at $40, ,769,-
100000. He proposed TO borrow the
other s59,000,000,0O0 and that is
about the way it is working out.
But at the rate of expenditure
established during the first five
months Of the current fiscal year
expenditures will be around s85.-
/ 00O,O00,000 nearly $4,000 900. COO
short Of the estimated figure. Re-
ceipts also are tagging for the time
being. They have come into the
treasury during the past five
months at the rate Of S35,955, 600. 700
a year.
