|BrowneII Sees Trend

Voters 10 Dewey
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne ASSOCIATED Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Republican
National Chairman Herbert Brow
nell. jr., said today powerful trend
toward Gov. Dewey among 5000, 900
foreign-borp voters was indicated by
a 300 per cent increase in the num-
ber Of foreign Language newspapers
supporting the Republican candi-
date.
Mr.. Brownell said in a written
statement that an analysis made by
a non-partisan organization showed
the number of foreign language
newspapers supporting Gov. Dewey
rose from 81 to 100 in the eight
week period up to November /.
Gov. Deweys statements on be-
half of the small nations, his en-
phatic opposition to Communism in
America, and his sympathetic TN
derstanding of the postwar prob
lens of the mother countries are
being featured in these papers, Mr..
Brownell said.
The party chairman said the
Italian and French language news
papers showed a preference for Gov.
Dewey; that the Polish and Slovak
language press was more evenly
divided" and that Swedish language
newspapers "overwhelm those for
his opponent"
"Of the foreign language papers
supporting President Roosevelt, %
are Communistic," Mr.. Brownell
added.
He said that typical of the many"
newspapers which have turned to-
ward Gov Dewey was sSlovak v.
Amerike," whose editor he quoted as
saying in an editorial:
I'VE are against the Roosevelt
administration because, among 9TH
er reasons, it's foreign policy is mott
waited by creeds other than Amer
ican. We know first hand the
viciousness of the PHILOSOPHERS that
/ formulated those creeds.
Moreover, this tendency toward
I'M American and therefore un-
democratic creeds has been intro
duced by the Roosevelt administra-
ton into our domestic policy"

Truman Closes Tour
With Appeal 10 His
Home Town Resident,
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
INDEPENDENCE, Mo, Nov. A.
Senator Truman, Democratic vice
presidential nominee, closed his
Nationwide campaign tour tonight
with an appeal to his hometowns-
men to send Franklin D. Roose-
welt to the peace table, and mot
betray American boys who have
made the greatest sacrifice man
can make fer his country"
ASK yourselves If you want mar
with no experience to sit at the
peace table with Churchill, Stalir
and Chang Kai-shek," ne told 9
crowd gathered to welcome him
home from his stumping trip.
"Or do you want man to repre-
sent you who can meet these leaders
on equal terms, man who knows
these men, a man who has been 9
member of the team that is win
ming the war. who knows the inner
most thoughts of his teammates, ane
who is determined to see that hi:
own people get the best deal?"
Says COP Lost Peace.
Senator Truman told his audience
that America won war in 1918
and continued, I'VE lost the peace
in 1920 when we were misled by
the promises of a candidate fol
the presidency-Warren g. Hard.
ing = who solemnly assured the
country he was for a society Of
nations to preserve the peace.
History gives us the answer to
Harding's promises. His failure Is
the reason our boys are now dying
again on the battlefields of the
world. We dare not make that mis-
take again-we cannot afford to
rely on promises-promises OF an
other candidate of the party OF
Harding, candidate with no
foreign policy of his own, but who
for reasons of political expediency
has been forced to give lip service
to the foreign policy of the Roose-
welt administration"
Senator Truman said that under
Roosevelt leadership America, by
January of this year had built
more than one-third of all the mer-
chant marine tonnage OF the world"
and enlarged the Navy until 1t is
larger than the worlds other COM
bined fleets.

1--WE are producing planes in
quantities of over 100000 a year.
Our tanks are superior to anything
produced by Germany. and even
more effective than those of Great

THE farmer knows that his Gov
ernment has done more to help
him than was done by any admin
istration in our history.t the bene-
fits the farmer has received were
bitterly opposed by those in Con-
gress who were supporting Mr.
Dewey.
"It is your solemn duty to do
your part. Go to the polls on No

Senator Maybank, Democrat. of

DETROIT, Nov. 4.-The Army
took over seven Toledo war plants

strikes have stopped the flow OF
ammunition, guns, trucks and tanks

Immediately following the seizure,

tional Society of America, members
OF which have walked out in De-
troit as we'll as Toledo, summoned
a meeting of his organizations Ex-
ecutive Committee.
He refused to say what action
might be taken at the committee
meeting which he described as a
"huddle."
I'VE are aware that it is against
the law to agitate work stoppages in
plants seized by the Government, ;
he said. IF the employees want te
return to work without settlement

The Toledo plants We're taken over
by Col. Phillip r. Faymonville, who
sent groups Of three officers into
each plant to inform the manage
ment the Army was taking over. He
said production would be resumed
in all the plants Monday mornine
and that all employees, regardless OF
their union affiliation, were to re-
port for duty.
Col. Faymonville indicated that
any employe capable of reporting
for work who fails to return woulc
face prompt reclassification by his
local draft board.
The plants taken over today were

They were among 50 plants in the
