NOOHtHueu 1f0m SuHe y National Economic Committee and using this single sentence" in 6 surprisingly dishonest effort to claim that your administration was secretly trying to set Up c Conn nlunist system"
 Berle said Dewey quoted the sen- tence-"oYer c period of years the government will gradually come to own most Of the productive plants Of the United stateB'-as the "doe- urine" advocated by the Roosevelt administration. Although, Berie de- clared the entire memorandum showed the exact contrary"
 Dewey quoted the sentence res ferred to by Berle in his Charles ton, W. Va, speech week ago Gs an "GnBWer" to 6 rhetorical ques- ton, why Is my opponents elec- ton so essential to the aims of the Communists"
 Berle pointed out to MT. RooSe. welt that the same io30 memoran. dunn included this clearly stated" program:
 Tn Q Democratic organization of economy, the obvious end should Do Co permit and require private initiative to do as mucn of the work aS it can, consistent with maintaining the national economy on Q reasonably even flow, distrlbut. ing the burdens and benefits mean. while that no class will Do unduly favored, no class unduiy burdened, and Q maximum of opportunity Do provided for everyone to use his abilities usefully with corrcspond- ing reward. It is tho definite func. ton Of the financial system to make this possible ct oil times"
 Alder Dewey
 Berle concluded by saying that Dewey, who asked and got my help in getting him the independ- . ent nomination which made possible his election as district attorney in New York, knows ag does everybody else, that. while I want c finance system that takes care of little people as well aS big, have never been c Communist,
 The White House list of Dewey statements began with his attFibu- ton to Gen. George c. Marshall, Army chief of staff, the assertion that fin 1e40, tho year after the war began in Europe, the United States was in such c tragic condi. ton that 1t couldn't put into the fiAid AR A FnAtAifa fasaa "A AaA ...a.., !, that Army was only 2b per cent ready"
 The document showed that Mar. shall testified on May 1, i04O, bee fore C senate appropriations sub- committee, We could put into the fold ct the present time, as mobile force, about 7B,000 men of the regu- Tor establishment to Dc promptly recrforced by 2b,0O men from tho enlisted reserve.
 It algo quoted Marshall ag tegti. flying before the Truman cofnfnit- tee on April 22, i04i:
 Tn February, l040, I talked in c meeting before 6 historical group didn't have any preparation; l just went into 1t and talked-one statement made was that com- pared 10 the navy, which is 76 per cent Tlobllized at oil times, we at best were not over % per cent Ere. pared in the army. Well, that was just for the purpose of illustrating the difference of the national pos Hey. It was ifi no way c criticism. It was the national policy that the principal buiid.up would Dc behind the oceans and behind the navy, that our great task was the devels opnlent Of 8 Successi1 mcbiliza. ton"
 Quotes Arnold
 Tn the same Oklahoma City speech Dewey quoted Gen. II. If. Arnold, commander Of the army air forces, as saying: "Dec. [, lo4i, found the army air forces equipped with -iasg but not planes"
 Arnold, according to the docu. neflt, said on Dec, [, ie4i, I've may not have had powerful air forLe, but Ne knew that we soon would have one.
