Governor Dewey presented his
indictment of the New Deal for in
competency and dishonesty in {
nationally broadcast address Mon

His effort to nail responsibility
for delayed rehabilitation plans
on the White House dOOrsill was
the latest move IN the battle which
has been raging between the two
Presidential candidates ever since
Mr.. Dewey's Philadelphia speech
on September I.
The President has referred to
Mr.. Deweys original accusation as
reckless words based on unauth-
Oritative sources" and on Saturday
the White House released a letter
from General Hershey to the Presi-
dent saying that in the quotation
attributed to him by Mr.. Dewey the
general was merely expressing a
personal opinion.
Now. is Mr.. Roosevelt quite ac-
curate when he calls General Her.
shey his own appOintee, unauthOr-
itative?" Governor Dewey asked.
THE fact is that the director of
Selective Service is charged by law
with the duty of helping to get jobs
for returning veterans. If anybody
in the cOutry is an authority on
that subject, he is the man."
Then, after reading the DelanO
report on rehabilitation, Mr.. Dew
ey declared
so this idea of keeping men in
the Army for fear they won't get
Jobs after the war was in a report
made public last year by Mr.. Roo
sevelt himself. The New Deal has
had it in mind right along.
Now let my opponent try to
pass the buck to one of his assist
ants. They can slip and squirm in
this New Deal but when my Oppo-
nent uses the word Justification
as he did on the radio in the Team
sters speech IL comes home to
haunt him"
Applying his previous accusa-
tiOns that the New Deal fears the
problem of postwar unemployment
because it had been unable TO SOL
We the problem of peacetime jobs
during its first seven years in pow
er. the Republican candidate add
I'd:
THE truth is that the New Deal
has been afraid all along that
" hen the time came to let men out
Of the Army there would be no
Jobs for them-that it would be a
case of back to normally under the
New Deal with 100000 unem-
Dloyed."
Governor Dewey pictured the
New Deals record in office as ~
years "Of constant pickering, |
and back-bitins. He /
allied a partial roll of New Deal /

lles in the NRA down through /

lsked:
What kind of government is it
hat even war cannot make it I
iober down and go to work?
This Administration has lived
IN conflict" he added. They plan
I that way"
Taking up the contention that
he Roosevelt Administration had
'een more efficient in its foreign
IOlicies than at home. Governor
Dewey asked
Can an Administration which is
illed with quarreling and back
iting where we can see il be any
etter abroad where we can not see
.
Well the answer to that seeps
Trough even the thick wall of
censorship.
He cited report of quarreling "a

an agencies concerned with ac-
uiring vital war materials i'm Bra

Iured the overseas war theaters
ist year. Mr.. Dewey quoted Sena-
,r Russell as saying:
Our civil agencies abroad are

Mr.. Dewey's list of accusations
sainst the New Deal included one
