Philadelphia Speech
Will Formally Open
Dewey's Campaign
BY J. A. O'LEARY,
Star Staff Correspondent

PAWLING, N. Y, Sept. 2.-After
two months of preparation, Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, Republican cand-
idate for President, is ready to 60
before the American people with
his case against a fourth term for
President Roosevelt.
Starting with his first formal
campaign address in Convention
Hall at Philadelphia Thursday
night the New York Governor will
make seven major speeches in the
course of 6,700-mile trip to the
Pacific Coast and back.
After a brief return visit to AL
bany on September %, the Republi-
can nominee is expected to devote
the remaining five weeks to an in
tensive drive in the populous States
of the East and Middle West, where
the election is likely to be decided.
Although plans fors this crucial
October phase of the campaign have
not been made public, there is good
reason to believe he will concentrate
on New York, with Al electoral votes;
Pennsylvania, 35; Illinois, %; New
Jersey and Massachusetts, with l6
each, and the other New England
States.
Return Visit Likely.
1t is significant that on his i'm
pending journey to the Pacific Coast
he has not scheduled major
address for the Midwest, which
strengthens the belief that he ex-
poets to pay return visit to the
area which embraces Illinois, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa
and Indiana.
The fact that Gov. Dewey is open
ing his campaign in Philadelphia
gives emphasis to the theory that
Pennsylvania could we'll become a
decisive State this year, if Gov
Dewey should carry New York and
the Midwestern farm States that
now have Republican State admin
tstrations.
Republicans are aware of the
vote-getting ability of President
Roosevelt in both Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh. One veteran of
many Republican campaigns in
the Keystone State told this
writer within the past few days
he believes Gov. Dewey can carry
Pennsylvania with the support he
will receive in approximately so
rural counties, provided he can hold
President Roosevelt's margin down
to $4,000 in Philadelphia and to 75,-
900 in Pittsburgh.
A glance at the 1910 returns
shows that would call for a sharp
voting turnover, especially in Phila-
delphia In 1910 Mr.. Roosevelt car
ried Philadelphia by l77,OO0, and
Pittsburgh by $4,000.
The same source estimated the
President would poll smaller vote
than in 1910 in some of the coal
mining regions, including Lacka-
wanna, Luzerne, Schuylkill North
cumberland and Carbon counties.
Gov. Dewey is believed to have
completed work on the speeches he
Will denver on this western tour,
but has not revealed the topics he
will discuss, either in Philadelphia
or at the other six points, which
are: Louisville, KY, Seattle, Wash.
Portland, Greg, San Francisco and
Los Angeles, Calf, and Oklahoma
City.
1t will be noted that the Re-
publican nominee is making an
early bid for votes in two of the
border States-Kentucky and Okla
homa. The election of Republican
governor in Kentucky last year
caused COP leaders to cast hopeful
eyes toward that and other border
States this fall
Gov. Dewey will spend the Labor
Day week end resting on his farm.

days in a tree SIS feet aloft, was the
object of a rescue mission today by
firemen who climbed a 100-foot
aerial ladder at Thirty-second and
Quesada streets NV. just as the cat
leaped to the ground.
Residents of the neighborhood yes

plight, but policemen who investi-
gated were unable to reach it.
Today, firemen from No. IL COM
pany attempted to reach the kitten
but 75-foot ladder proved too
short. A call was put in for the

and, while crowds watched firemen
mounted toward the cats lofty perch.
Just as rescue was near the kitten

D. c. Government
BY DON S. WARREN.

Sharp protest over the failure OF
nearby countries to make provision
for the care of their own contagious
disease patients, instead of depend
ing on overcrowded District facili-
ties, was voiced today by Represent
ative Stefan, Republican, of Ne

Il can't see why District hospitals
should be made the dumping ground
for contagious disease patients from
the counties near the National Cap
ital," said Mr.. Stefan, who is rank
ing minority member of the House
Appropriations Subcommittee which
handles the District budget.
Certainly" he added, eff patients
from the counties are admitted as
a matter of necessity to Gallinger
Hospital or other District institu-
tions, then the counties should re-
imburse the District government for
the cost of the care given"
Problem More Acute Now.
The situation, he emphasized, is
more acute now because of the war
swollen District population, which
has placed an increased load on
Gallinger Hospital.
In this connection Mr.. Stefan
said he had found from a personal
