NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-Republican
National Chairman Herbert Brow
nell, jr., said yesterday that an
irresistible tide to the Republican
ticket" would elect Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey as President and assure an
anti-New Deal Congress.
There are only II days to CO."
Mr.. Brownell told a press confer
ence. II see nothing in the wind to
change the Republican trend. Gov.
Dewey's speeches should accelerate
that trend"
Mr.. Brownell cited Gallup poll
figures which he said showed Gov.
Dewey led in 13 of 81 pivotal States,
With S even.
"Of the five States now scored So
50," Mr.. Brownell said in a formal
statement, Mr.. Roosevelt has lost
ground in three since October IS

Oklahoma, per cent The other

in 13-Missouri, West Virginia, New
Hampshire, New York, New Mex

Michigan, Ohio, Maine, Wyoming
and Minnesota.
THE poll figures reveal. I be-
lieve, the real reason why Mr.
Roosevelt has abandoned his earlier
plan to keep himself aloof from
the voters and to campaign in the
usual partisan sense" Mr.. Brownell
said. He recognizes, as do his
frightened satellites, that Dewey
sentiment is at food. That tide will

0rson WeIIes Resumes
Campaign for Roosevelt

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Orson
Welles, actor and producer whose
campaigning for President Roose-
welt was interrupted this week by
throat infection, spoke last night
for the first time since his illness
to set at rest many of the rumors"
Of the campaign and to declare that
the Deweyites are desperate"
There are many rumors in this
campaign the actor said in a
broadcast sponsored by the Demo-
cratic National Committee. You've
heard them-the one about Com
munism, the one about the Roose-
welt plot to keep the servicemen in
uniform. They're written into
Mr.. Dewey's speeches, the idea be-
ing that if you say something often
enough it may get to sound like
the truth"
The actor described the President
as the man who stood up in the
moment of our countrys most dan,
gerous panic and told the people
all they had to fear was fear itself
the man who warned his coun-
try against Germany and Japan at
time when many of Mr.. Dewey's
hackers were urging us to make
friends with them"

at Syracuse, N. Y, today, to hi.
recent suggestion that the Republi
can standard bearer repudiate eigh
"isolationist" Republican Senator,
seeking reelection.
The Democratic candidate fol-
Vice President said in a statemen,
that "the time has come for Mr.
Dewey to act" and added:
IF he will not act this noon wher
he speaks at Syracuse, I think that
we can fairly assume that he has
no intention of acting.
This is Mr.. Dewey's last chance
Let us hear from him, or let him
be judged by his silence"
More to Say Tonight.
Senator Truman indicated he
would have more to say on the
subject in another foreign policy
speech tonight at Worcester, Mass
His statement was released under
an Albany IN. ~ heading. His
special car was scheduled for a stop
there during the morning.
The statement followed a speech
at Akron, Ohio. where Senator Tru-
man asserted that the national elec-
ton campaign had degenerated in
closing weeks because of his Re-
publican opponents, whom he
termed takers who want to get into
power"
Departing from his prepared ad-
dress, the Senator declared:
THE President has been mis-
quoted. I have been misquoted
They've called the President a
Communist and called me Ku
Kluxer when I have been fighting
the Klan organization all of my
political life"
Senator Truman said Gov. Dewey
should be compelled to make a
stand with reference to Senators
Taft, Ohio; Nye, North Dakota, and
"six other isolationists" running on
the Republican ticket.
He told the Democratic rally that
Senator Taft voted against num-
ber of defense bills. including
lease-lend, which saved Britain
and Russia from defeat" and gave
us nearly a years start on war
production"

In his statement today, Senator
Truman said Gov. Dewey has in

policy.
He said the Republican nominee
abandoned a farm speech at Min

on foreign affairs there because
the people of the country demanded
to know where he stood"
"Mr. Dewey had to give a fourth
speech, but he refused to tell the
people whether he was for Con-
gress that would work with him."

World War.
Miracle Of Production.
I have chosen Navy Day-today-
to talk about the 11,00o,0 900 Amer
leans in uniform Who, with all their
strength, are engaged in giving us
chance to achieve peace through
victory in war.
Those men could not have been
armed and equipped as they are had
it not been for the miracle of our
production here at home.
The production which has flowed
from this country to all the battle
fronts of the world has been due
to the efforts of American business,
American labor and American farm
ers-working together as a patriotic
team.
The businessmen of America have
had vital part in this war. They
have displayed the highest tY3e of
patriotism by their devotion, their
industry, their ingenuity, their CO.
operation with their Government.
I am proud of the fact that in
this administration today there are
a great many Republican business
men who have placed patriotism
above party.
But unfortunately there are some
Republican politicians-in and out
of the Congress-who are introduc-
ing a very ugly implication into
this campaign-an implication of
profound concern to all Americans
who believe that this war must be
followed by just and lasting peace.
These politicians are stating that
the Republicans in the Congress
would cooperate with Republican
President in establishing world
organization for peace-clearly init
mating that they would not CO.
operate toward the same end in
the event of a Democratic victory.
Politics Above Country.
That, it seems to me, is a delib-
crate and indefensible effort to
place political advantage not only
above devotion to country, but also
above our very deep desire to avoid
the death and destruction which
would be caused by future wars.
do not think that the American
people will take kindly to this policy
OF vote anyway or I won't play"
May this country never forget
that its power in this war has come
from the efforts of its citizens.
living in freedom and equality.
May this country hold in piety
and steadfast faith those who have
battled and died to give it new
opportunities for service and
growth.
May it reserve its contempt for
those who see in it only an instru-
ment for their own selfish interests.
May it marshal its righteous wrath
against those who would divide 1t
by racial struggles.
May 1t lavish its scorn upon the
fainthearted.
And may this country always give
its support to those who have en-
gagged with us In the war against
oppression and who will continue
with us in the struggle for a vital.
creative peace.
God bless the United States of
America.

Lease. Lend Aid for War
Is Not Debt, Educator SAYS

The Foreign Trade Subcommittee
Of the House Committee on Postwar
Economic Policy and Planning was
told yesterday that the United States
should not expect repayment from
her Allies of lease-lend goods and
services actually consumed during
the war.
Dean Calvin Hoover of Duke Uni
versity's Graduate School of Arts
and Science urged before the COM
mittee that lease lend be regarded
as "a cost of war"
"a policy which required repay

both were inclined to agree, that the

And this despite the fact that the
weather, in spots, was worse than
New York variety, a cold drizzle,
with a trace of snow, occasionally
increasing the ordinary discomfort
OF the 40 degree temperature.
Three times the President crossed
the business section of Philadelphia
between noon and o'clock, on each
occasion to the accompaniment of
cheers from the tightly packed
streets and showers of torn paper.
When he reached the factory dis
trict, going to and from Camden.
the tempo of the demonstration
speeded up. Thousands of the spec
tatorS-particularly the children
were waving small flags all over the
city, and it seemed at times as
though almost every school child In
the city must be on the streets.
There also was a profusion of
political placards throughout the
massed lines, with every SO often a
CIO union mark indicating their
origin.
Talks From Car in Camden.
In midafternoon, the President
stopped for the only daytime talk in
the Philadelphia area, sitting in his
car in a driving rain at City Hall
Plaza in Camden to tell enthusiastic
Jerseyites that things are going
pretty we'll"
And adding that 'I'm getting ac-
customed to rain" Here, too, the
President repeated the admonition
Of the rear platform speech which
opened his day in Wilmington, ex-
pressing the hope that you'll all'go
to the polls"
The Presidents trip took him
through the Philadelphia Navy Yard,
the Army Quartermaster Depot and
Cramp shipyards for inspection Wis
its, and, returning late in the day to
the train on which he is making
headquarters, the car slowed down
as it passed the huge plants of Mid
vale Steel and E. G. Budd and the
Army Signal Corps depot. where
thousands of workers left their jobs
to see the President.
The late efternoon also found him
traversing Germantown, where there
there is large Republican vote, and
the younger element there punctu-
ated their cheers with cries Of
