GOV. BRICkER
 IS 3-TERMER, OHIO STATE
C. 0. P. Vice Presidential Candidate Has Given
 Good Administration
By Associated press)

Gov. John w. Bricker, nominated by the Republican National Con- yention yesterday at Chicago as Vice Presidential candidate. and running mate of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, is Ohio's three-term Gov ernor.
 Gov. Bricker was a contender for the COP nomination of Presi- dent, and his steady administra- tion of state government, which with few exceptions, has been de- void of controversy gave his friends and supporters their reason to de- clare that he was well qualified to head a great government.
 Firm Determination
 Among the qualities of his per- sonality which have met favorable comment, his determination to set a course and follow it has been the most discussed His friends watched him take hold of Ohio's government, organize it along busi- ness-like principles, which included among other things the looping off of thousands of state employees
 This determination is sometimes considered arbitrary, often as bull headedness by his friends, but Bricker smiles and denies this. His mind is open, he says, until it's made up and then it stays made. One close associate says that until decision is reached by Bricker, he seems to possess a most judicial mind; when it is, there might te reason to call him obstinate.
 Bricker rose according to a set pattern from a Madison County farm. He was born in log house with twin sister, Ella, on Sept. 6, 1893, to the Lemuel Spencer Brickers. In Mount Sterling, he attended township schools and then went on to Ohio State University.
 Bricker was an outstanding stu dent. He received his bachelor of arts degree in 1916 and entered law college. Before he won his law de- gree, a year after he entered law school, he passed his state bar ex- animation and was permitted to practice.
 Army Chaplain
 War interrupted his study and he entered the Army as a chap lain, but the war was over before he was shipped across.
 He married Harriet Day of Ur- bana, O., and after the war fin ished law school and became city attorney of Grandview Heights, a Columbus suburb. He was named State Assistant Attorney General in 1923, but resigned to resume pri- vate practice four years later. In 1929, he was named member of the State Utilities Commission Three years later, he was elected Attorney General, won a second term in 1884 He lost a bid fol the Governorship in 1886, but won that office in 1888 and has beer

 NOMINATION
Promises an End to One. Man Government 7 Is
 Confident Victory

CHIC AGO, June 29. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey accepted the Re- publican Presidential nomination. in a dramatic appearance last night, pledging an "end to one-l man government in America to crush the Germans and Japs' will for war and to devote himself to ''rewinning of freedom" at home.
 Dewey told the cheering, perspir- ing delegates that the Roosevelt Administration has grown "old, tired and quarrelsome in office" and is unequal to the pressing problems of war and peace. He declared that military policies must remain completely out of politics, and wanted to make it crystal clear that any change in administration would not involve changes in the High Command.
 General Marshall and Admiral King are doing superb job-thank God for both of them,' he said.
 The cheering thousands inter- rupted him repeatedly
 No Commitments
 q come to this great task a free man. I have made no pledges, promises or commitments, express ed or implied, to any man or wo- man, and shall make none except to the American people" stated the nominee.
 He reaffirmed his support of the party's Mackinac declaration for responsible United States partici- patton in an international security organization on which his views have been awaited eagerly.
 We are agreed, all of us, that America will participate with other soverign nations in cooperative effort to prevent future wars. We shall not make a secure peace by mere words. We cannot do 1t simply by drawing a fine-sounding treaty. It cannot be worked by one man or little group of rulers meeting together in private confer ences It must be the work of many, many men, Dewey asserted.
 Is Confident
 Gov. Dewey voiced the highest confidence in a November victory and made it clear he stands firmly on the Republican platform with it's advocacy of an international organization employing peace forces to prevent aggression.
 Regarding his running mate, Dewey said Never before have seen such good statesmanship and good sportsmanship as displayed by John Bricker this morning I am proud to be associated with him."
 He pledged that the government will again have a cabinet of the ableSt men and women to be found in America. The present admin istration has been in office more than Il years, and today is at war with Congress and with itself"
 Republicans are agreed that full employment will be the first ob- jective of national policy. By full employment mean a real chance for every man and woman to earn a decent living at a decent wage ? he said.
 Gov. Dewey left Albany early yesterday afternoon for Chicago. He was accompanied by Mrs. Dewey. advisers and newspapermen. The flight was made in a charter ed airliner to Chicago.

The need for wastepaper grows as

Hull Praises Press
As Responsible for
Alert Public Opinion

Secretary of State Hull today de-
scribed the work of the American
press in these critical times as Sec
ondary only to that of the Govern
ment itself. Mr.. Hull made the
statement as he inaugurated new
and enlarged press facilities at the
State Department.
Accompanied by Undersecretary
Stettinius, Mr.. Hull visited the new
quarters and made a brief i'm
promptu speech on what he consid-
cred the role of newspapers as
formers Of public opinion today.
There never has been a greater
need than now. he said. for an in
formed and alert public opinion,
adding that need will continue not
only through the war but until
postwar problems are solved. The
press, he said, will succeed or fail
in its important mission in ac-
cordance with it's skill in keeping
alive an alert and informed pub
lie opinion.
Mr.. Hull pointed out that in a
number of countries the public
seems completely unaware of the
great and basic questions which
confront them today. He and other
State Department officials, he add
ed, were glad to provide the new
quarters, because they felt that the
press should have every facility for
efficient work.
In passing, he expressed appre-
ciatlon to w. E. Reynolds, commits
sioner of public buildings, and
Peters, State Department
manager. for designing and
the quarters.
The new press suite at the State
provides approximately
twice the room previously allotted to
newspapermen. Leading press asso-
Citations and newspapers are pro-
v;ded with private quarters and a
large lounge gives ample working
space for reporters who call at the
