desired to return to private life
but not-as his Republican op-
ponent, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey,
has charged-because he is
either tired or defeated.
The Presidents comment came

Gov. Dewey's opening campaign
speech in Philadelphia last night-a
speech, incidentally, which the
President said he had not heard, and
of which he had read only half in
the morning paper.
Asked to comment on the Dewey

McNun Takes Issue
With Hershey Plan II
Keep Men in Army
Completely Disoerees
With Druft Heod's Plan
To Solve Unemployment
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

War Manpower Chairman Nc
Mutt said today that he COM
pletely disagreed" with the re-
cent statement of Selective Serv-
ice Director Hershey that it
would be necessary to keep men
in the Army at the war end to
prevent unemployment, a state
ment which Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey attacked last night as sig
nifying that the New Deal has no
demobilization plan except the
dole.
Mr.. McNutt. appearing before the
Senate War Investigating Commit
tee to explain the reconversion
plans Of the War Manpower Com
mission, was read the Hershey
statement quoted by Gov Dewey:
I'VE can keep people in the Army
about as cheaply as we could Gre
ate agencies for them when they
are out"
Senator Burton. Republican, of
Ohio, committee member, asked
Mr.. McNutt If he agreed with the
Gen. Hershey's idea.
II Disagree Completely"
IT disagree completely" Mr.. Nc
Mutt answered.
The manpower chairman added
that he did not think it necessary
to have compulsory military serv-
ice after the war to absorb un-
employment.
II think there will be work for all
who want to work in expanding
civilian production after the war,
Mr.. McNutt continued.
The Dewey attack on the admin
istration was again injected into the
committee hearing when Acting
Chairman J. A. Krug of the WaI
Production Board began to tell the
committee of WPBs new blueprint
for reconversion.
Gov. Dewey had pointed to the
recent controversy in WPB between
Chairman Nelson and his executive
vice chairman, Charles E. Wilson, as
indicative of the fact that the
agency had fallen apart and with it
the opportunity under the New Deal
for jobs after the war.
Before starting" Mr.. Krug said
