WiIIkie And
 Dulles Meet

New York, Aug. 2i-UPD-John Foster Dulles. emissary Of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. Republican pres idential nominee. meets with wen. dell L.. Willkie today in an effort to establish complete party harmony on delicate points of this country's foreign policy now and after the war.
 The meeting was arranged by Dewey himself after he had failed to get Willkie to Albany for a per- sonal conference and Willkie had criticized his recent statement ex- pressing concern for the fate of small nations in the postwar world. Willkie, the i940 Republican stan. dard bearer, has not pledged his sup. port of the Dewey candidacy.
 Dulles came here from Albany en route to Washington for a confer ence on Wednesday with Secretary of State C0rdell Hull as Dewey agent. He carried Dewey's proposal that one of the first steps toward establishing the prerequisites for an enduring peace after tha war should be the nternationalizatio of Ger many's heavily industriaiized Ruhr Valley.
 Tn his first direct approach to Willkie since he won the nomination, Dewey put in telephone call from the Albany governors mansion to Willkie'g apartment here late Sat- urday night. Willkie had retired and his household refused to disturb him So Dewey sent him telegram say ing that he and Dulles would Like to have the benefit Of your views Il you could join us at any time on Sunday and Sunday evening" Will kie replied Geographically that he would be glad to confer with Dulles on his way 10 Washington. Then he told Dewey he Visla Ee had known Dewey issued his statement express ing alarm for small nations.
 Fate Of 6maIl Nations
 For several years l have been deeply concerned about the ill fate of the small nations inherent in military alliances between any 0T all Of the great powers" he said, but l have been equally concerned that there should not arise among our Allies the notion that our party would in any way obslruet or en' danger the success of an inter- nat0nal conference
 Dewey's statement had been aimed at the conference among Great Britain, Russia, and the United States on the building of q lasting peace opening in Washing ton today, It gave point to Wllkle's telegram which informed the n0m- inee that he iWilkie'sl had deter mined 10 await results (of the cons fereHeel before entering into any public diseussl0n,' But because Dewey and Hull had agreed that their conference would be non. partisan, he would receive Degey's emlssaTy,

They included one impor- tant hgure-Ferdinand Bouisson. former president Of the chamber of deputies and active in the vichy group.
 On the otherwise quiet Italian front, a communique said Polish .fOois on the Adriatic side had made a swift advance north of the cesano river, spreading over a wid- ening area and occupying three strategic towns.

As the cigarette and tobacco shortage throughout the nation be. came more severe. an unprecedented joint appeal for price relief has just been made Co the once of Price Administration by both manulae. tnrers and labor in the tobacco in. dustry. according to R. c. Powell, president of the Tobacco Workers International Union, AFl. Mir. Powell announced today that his union feared that unless the rigid ceilings on tobacco products are equitably adjusted soon many small companies-in addition to those which have already failed - will be forced out of business.
 While the tobacco manufacturers have been vainly trying to get re lief from oPA for several months. the strong support of labor behind their cause is new.
 Mir. PowellS statement continued, while the retail prices of cigarettes and other tobacco prices were frog en in lel2 at the 1892 level. the price of leaf tobacco has advanced more than 200ss since the war be- gan. 1t is no longer possible. for manufacturers whose costs have risen so radically to continue to sell their products at 1892 depres- sion prices. Already this year seven companies have gone out of bust. ness because the failure of OPA to grant price increases has made it impossible for them to make a fair return. These companies employed thousands of men. For example, the Axton-Fasler Company which was forced to iiquidate about two months ago employed approximately 1900 members of our union. Last year this company produced 2.600. 900 600 cigarettes. We have strong reason to fear many other companies will soon close their doors because of the squeeze. In the face Of these conditions it is no wonder that there is an acute shortage of cigarettes. !"
 "At a recent meeting the execu- tive committee of the Tobacco Workers International union unani- mously adopted a resolution urging OPA to adjust retail price ceilings so as to save most of the manufac- turers in the industry.
 This action was followed by a formal presentation of the resolu ton to the OPA in the first joint labor encouragement appeal of it's kind. The meeting was attended by James P. Brownlee. deputy ad- ministrator in charge Of price. OPA: Jean Carroll. director Of the food
