l Committee, and his recent cnaTge that the Roosevelt administration offers for sale voice in adminiStra- tion policies for those who con- tribute $1,O00 to the fourth term campaign fund.
 \ At Pittsheld, Mass, before a sta- ton audience estimated by Police Chief John L. Sullivan at about 4,0O0 persons Dewey repeated last nights charge that my opponents prom ises are not to be trusted no matter how often they are repeated"
 Declaring that the natiop must be united if it is to provide 6 healthy postwar economy and take leader ship in postwar peace plans, Dewey said it could not be accomplished by the Democratic party.
 "We can only do it by restoring unity and confidence in our gov- ernment," he said.
 He promised the most thorough house cleaning in history in Wash ington if he is elected to the White House. He named Secretary Of Labor Frances Perkins, Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes and presiden- tial adviser Harry Hopkins as three who would go.
 Speaking before an enthusiastic audience estimated at 10000 in Buf- falo, N. Y, last night, Dewey charged that President Roosevelts campaign promises are bogus mo good, and worthless. Tocie&ixo, fho rnaOrH 0f fnP Roosevelt administration since its inception 12 years ago has been one of broken promises" Dewey said.
 We cannot live on promises. We must have performance this time before it's too late"
 Dewey devoted large part of his speech last night to answering the campaign addresses of Presi- dent Roosevelt last week at Phila- depIhia and Chicago.
 He said the Presidents promise of postwar jobs was worthless" on the ground that there still were 10,- 100000 unemployed in March, 194O. after the Roosevelt administration had been in office for eight years.
 The Presidents promise of good farm promises after the war he dis missed as bogus with the assertion that it took war to get prices, just as it took war to get jobs"
 Dewey discounted as mo good the promise of an expanded home building program after the war. He accused the President of borrowing the idea from his own Philadel- phia speech Sept. and charged:
 "The fact is that for years we should have been building a mil lion homes a year just to get back up to the standards of 1930 But, under MT. Roosevelt, we got an av- craze of only 10000 homes a year"
 As for MT. Roosevelts program for expanded small business in the postwar era to create more job op- portunities, Dewey commented:
 American businessmen know that the New Deal way of being mindful of their problems has been slowly to drown them with rising flood of rules and regulations, question naires, reports and directives."
 Five times the COP candidate said the presidents promises couldn't be trusted, "even though it is repeated again and again ana again"
 Although Dewey never identified the expression, it was an unmistak- able take-off from MT. Roosevelt's Boston, Mass, speech of Oct. 30, 194O, in which Republicans claim he promised that American boys being taken under the Selective Service program would not be sent to fight in foreign wars.
 The first time Dewey said it, the audience responded with laughter. The second and third times they applauded. The last two times they chimed in on again and again and again"
 They joined him with a thunder ous chant when he repeated his now familiar argument that 'It's time for a change"
 All in all, Dewey contended that President Roosevelt to date "has offered no program for the peace time years ahead except the same one which failed for eight straight years of peace from 1883 to 1940." 8 Point Program
 As an alternative, he outlined an eight point program for the future which he promised a Republican victory in November would bring. He listed:
 Government policies toward the goal of full employment through full production at high level of wages for the worker and an in- centive for the business man to succeed.
 2. A new tax structure eliminating tax deductions from wages as low as $11 a week; reduced personal income tax rates; lowered income tax on business; simpliflcation of tax laws land then stick to it over 8 period of years"
 3. Expansion of Social Security coverage to "every American"
 4. A definite and secure floor un- der farm prices.
 5. Restoration of "free collect i've bargaining in America" setting up of a permanent fais employment practices committee and putting the Labor Department under the lead ershi pof e man from the ranks of
