'IsoIotionist at Heart

NEW YORK, Oct. 13 QR.-Senator
Pepper, Democrat. Of Florida said
last night that Gov. Thomas e.
Dewey and the men around him
hate England for her national
rivalry and Russia for her internal

which alone corporation can be
founded and international good faith
Ipracticed," Senator Pepper told the
Free Italian-American Labor Coun-
Gil.
Devoting himself almost entirely
to Gov. Dewey's record on foreign
policy, Senator Pepper declared :
Gov. Dewey "is now, as he ever has
been at heart, an ardent isolation
ist."
Sidney Hillman. chairman Of the
CIO Political Action Committee, and
George Baldand, executive vice
president Of the Textile Workers
Union Of America. q CIO member
Of q trade commission which re-
Gently visited Italy. also addressed
the meeting.
Mr.. Hillman said the November

Of his waistline bulge.
Admiral McIntire, who also Il
surgeon general Of the Navy, was
asked by the North American News
paper Alliance for an authoritative
statement on the Presidents health,
In view of widespread rumors in
political circles and elsewhere.
The White House feels, incidental
ly, that many Of these rumors are

Dental secretary, said he had is to
40 calls within 80 minutes one day
recently to the effect that a New
York radio station had broadcast q
report that Mr.. Roosevelt had COL
lapsed. Most Of these calls were
from newspapers. Mr.. Early said,

The crossIey Poll:
BY ARCHIBALD M. CROssLEY.

ny AnCdlDAAO M. ChOSSLEx.
Results Of the sample Of civilian
voters In the % shiftable States
showed the two candidates evenly
divided. These pivotal States ac-
count for 2s5 electoral votes out Of
the 531 for all States. 266-or one
more than half-being necessary to
elect. In the Is States unlikely to
shift, Roosevelt has i76 electoral
votes and Dewey so.
These figures do not include the
armed services vote, which would
make the ratio in pivotal States ap-
proximately 81 per cent Roosevelt
to 40 per cent Dewey. Estimates
based upon data now available In
dicate that the total United States
vote Of the armed services will not
exceed 4,450, 900, for which q United
States figure Of 81 per cent to 63 per
cent Roosevelt appears reasonable
In the light Of preferences Of civil
ians Of similar ages. It Is unlikely
that the armed services vote will de-
termine the winner In any State
which would otherwise go for
Roosevelt or for Dewey by a mar
gin of definitely over 81 per cent
The effect Of that vote, therefore,
is apt to be felt only In a few states
where the civilian preference e for
Dewey by approximately 60s per
cent to approximately 81 per Cent.
Such States may ultimately irielude
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-

Additional Speeches

Roosevelt Asserts

President Roosevelt told his newl
conference today that the question
Of making other speeches beyond
the one scheduled for October 81 IL
being considered, but that he can't
get frightfully interested In any.
thing like that.
The question was raised by re-
porter who wanted to know II he
had made any plans for additional
talks. The October 81 speech will
be delivered in New York before the
Foreign Policy Association.
The President said II he makes
any other speeches they probably
will not be announced at a press
conference, but rather by the Dem
ocratic National Committee or at
the place he Is to talk.
Asked II the speech before the
Foreign Policy Association would be
political or nonpolitical, Mr., Roose-
veN inquired If his questioner was
desirous Of turning the news con-
ference into a debating society.
The reporter then said that what
he actually wanted to know was
whether the Democratic National
Committee would pay for the radio
broadcast Of his New York speech
or whether 1t would be handled
otherwise. The Presidents answer
to that was he was not interested,
that he was not paying for it.
Have you made your election pre-
diction and sealed it up yet?" the
President was asked.
Mr.. Roosevelt laughed and said
he would probably do that within
a week. He said he knew pretty
well what 1t would be and as his
audience laughed the President said
firmly that he had never been right
on his election predictions yet. Mr..
Roosevelt apparently was referring
to past predictions on the division
of the electoral vote.
