HiI|man Says Dewey
Uses Double Talk in
Presidential Drive
~ the Associatee Press,

~ the Associated Press.
SARATOGA SPRINGS. N: Y,
Sept. 9.-Sidney Hillman said today
that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, Repub-
lican presidential candidate, en-
gagged in deliberate double talk" on
international affairs and that his
record on domestic affairs was
equally ambiguous"
The chairman of the CIO 'Politi-
cal Action Committee and of the
National Citizens Political Action
Committee delivered his criticism in
an address before the New York
State CIO Convention.
Like the late Warren G. Hard
ing, he Gov. Dewey has curried
favor both with the isolationists and
with the internationalists in his
party" Mr.. Hillman said.
Opposed Lease-lend.
The PAC leader said Gov. Dewey
opposed lease-lend in January, 194l,
but reversed himself month later.
I'm May, 1910, Dewey opposed ad-
ditional aid to Britain" Mr.. Hill
man continued. In 1914 he advo-
Gated a British alliance.
In January. 1910, he bitterly at
tackled the administration for hav-
ing recognized Russia. and said,
We need no such partnerships. BY
1914 he had completely changed his
mind-or at least so he said"
Mr.. Hillman said that 'by this
curious process of deliberate double
talk" Gov. Dewey has tried to make
it appear that there was no differ
ence between his foreign policy and
that of the administration.
His statements on domestic pol
icies are even more vague and con-
Trajectory than those he has made
on foreign affairs" Mr.. Hillman
added.
Attacks Dewey Record.
He said that Gov. Dewey, as Gov
ernor. failed to credit the previous
administration of Democratic Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman with leaving an
S80,000,000 surplus, failed to pay
adequate salaries to State civil
service employees and to teachers
and failed to provide adequate hos
pital service.
1T is not enough for us to repudi-
ate at the polls the man who has
made this record, the men behind
him, and the discredited ideas
which emerge from behind his
smokescreen of glib talk and COM
mittees to study the studies of other
committees" Mr. Hillman asserted.
We must make this record known
to the people of the United States
before they 60 to the polls-in every
State in the Union"

Forced to Act.
Unfortunately, the circumstances
forced me to exercise one of these
prerogatives and I did relieve Gen.
Ralph Smith.
Il am not given to passing the
buck, but as you seek details con-
corning this incident, I remind you
that Gen. Smith is an Army officer
and I must refer you to the War
Department"
At the War Department 1t was
stated that there would be no COM
ment on Gen. Holland Smiths news
conference statement.
After Gen. Ralph Smith returned
to Honolulu from Saipan. it was an
nounced at Pearl Harbor last July
that he had been placed in COM
mand of another infantry division
in Hawaii.
The Army general was decorated
last April with the Legion of Merit
for his work as commanding general
Of the 9th Infantry Division in the
Central Pacific area. The citation
for that decoration referred to Gen.
Smiths training of the division for
the capture of Maxim in the Gilbert
Islands and Eniwetok in the Mar
shalls.
Calls Japs Overrated.
At the press conference today Gen.
Holland Smith said his personal
reaction was that the Jap Is a much
overrated individual.
The American forces realized early
in the war that the basis of jap
anese tactics was infiltration, he
said. That made the problem Of
beating him simple for the Ameri-
cans, he continued, adding that we
just mold the front line and proceed
to kill him. Once the fighting forces
gain contact with the enemy, they
never turned him loose, day or night,
he said. The Japs couldn't eat and
couldn't sleep.
They hadn't the stamina of the
American marines" Gen. Holland
Smith said. They can't take it so
we beat him at his own game.
Il told my men after they had
taken Saipan that they can take
anything and I still hold that opin-
ion. Give us the bombardment by
the battleship, cruisers and de-
stroyers, plus the Navy air and put
Us on the beach and We can beat
them"
Gen. Smith spoke highly Of the
excellent teamwork Of the combined
fighting forces In the Pacific.
