Boston, Oct, 2i.-(UP)-The Christian Science Monitor today endorsed the presidential candidacy of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey In the belief that changing horses ih the best way to get across the streams ahead"
 Tn i940 The Monitor favored Wen- dell Winkie for president.
 Asserting that we do not believe that Franklin Roosevelt is going to make himself @ dictator" the Monitor said that nevertheless "long tenure smothers alternative leader ship. The third term was advocats ed as @ necessity in Q crisis. So is a fourth. win there be no grave national problems in l94S?"
 Long tenure, the Monitor added, develops a "papa-knows best" at titude which is the antithesis of de- mocracy."
 Declaring that i've have applaud ed President Roosevelt's peace plan ming so far as it has developed, the Monitor said:
 "But Gov. Dewey has now taken a parallel position on international cooperation and the enforcement of peace MT. Dewey has shown a tremendous growth in under standing of world affairs. We have good reason to believe that his pur- pose is as sincere as his position is clear"
 On the domestic side, the Monitor said that both candidates now are promising very similar federal con- trols over farm prices and wages, and both favor labor and social security policies which run roughly parallel.
 'sThe Republicans may at times be less aware of the common mans aspirations but they are also less open to paternalistic and collectiv- lst theories and Co the influence of corrupt big aty machines" the Monitor concluded.
