EN- ROUTE TO MINNEAPOLIS,
Oct. 24.-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
is expected to 60 after the ad-
ministration in his Minneapolis
speech tonight for having per-
mitted Japan to obtain scrap
iron and Oil from this country
during the years leading up to
its war against the United States.
All indications are the Republican
nominee is preparing another fight
ing speech on the handling of some
phases of foreign affairs, in answer
to President Roosevelt's speech be-
fore the Foreign Policy Association
In New York Saturday night.
As his train headed into the Mid
west again late yesterday, Gov.
Dewey told a press conference he
had changed his plans to discuss
farm problems in Minneapolis, and
would devote this speech, instead, to
filling in some historical gaps he said
Mr.. Roosevelt had left in his discus
sion Of foreign affairs.
No Comment on Ball.
The Republican nominee left re-
porters in doubt whether at any
time before election day he would
commit himself on the Presidents
specific declaration that the Amer
ican member of the World Peace
Council should be endowed in ad-
vance with power to act to check
aggression.
Gov. DeweC also refrained from
comment on the action of Senator
Ball, Republican, of Minnesota in
going over to the support of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for a fourth term.
He said he had not seen the reports.
When the correspondents grouped
around him in the press car of his
train asked If he had any comment
on Mr.. Roosevelt's speech however
he responded:
Yes. Mr.. Roosevelt. I am afraid
took his history out of context in
that speech last Saturday night. His
memory seems to fail him on large
areas of recent history. So. 1 will
fill in the gaps in my speech in Min
neapolis."
will you deal with the question
OF whether or not the delegate of the
United States to the council should
be able to vote for the use of force?"
newsman inquired.
My answer to that is 1 doubt if I
go into any details on that subject y
he replied.
Question of IsoIationists.
Another high light of the press
conference came when some one
asked If he would discuss in his
Minneapolis speech any of the men,
bers of Mr.. Roosevelt's party in Con-
gress, as the President had done in
the case of some Republicans.
Il don't think 1 will bother with
Mr.. Roosevelt's isolationists. Gov
Dewey replied. He has two Of them
chairmen of committees. Everybody

WITH UNITED STATES TROOPS
IN TACLOBAN, Leyte Island, Phil
ippines, Oct. % Delayed Fleeing
Japanese troops contributed large
stocks of saki and beer to the Fill
pinos' celebration of the liberation
of Tacloban.
When veteran troops of the 1st
Cavalry Division arrived in the pro-
vincial capital day ahead of the
D day schedule, they were met by
deliriously happy Filipinos.
The gaily dressed Filipinos lined
the streets and windows, shouting,
grinning, waving their hands and
flags. Maj. Gen. Verne D. Nudge,
division commander, estimated 500
American flags were on display.
Scores of Filipinos trudged along
happily with cases of beer on their
heads. Even children carried it.

Roosevelt Withheld
81 Report on Nazi Air
Growth, Enee| Says
Cuts in Armed Forces
Budget Requests During
Prewur Years Cited
BY the Associated Press.

Representative Engel, Repub-
lican, of Michigan charged today
that President Roosevelt had
deliberately withheld" vital in
formation from Congress and
deprived our armed forces of
much equipment" during critical
preWar years.
Amazing and detailed reports
on growing German air power four
years before Pearl Harbor were sup
pressed. Mr.. Engel declared
His blast at the President followed
submission to Secretary of War
Stimson yesterday by special Army
board of its report on the japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor. The Navy
board report was presented to Sec
retary of the Navy Forrestal last
week. Both reports are classified
highly secret.
Mr.. Stinson and Mr.. Forrestal
will review the two records, their
departments said, and on the basis
of the assembled facts determine
whether court-martial proceedings
are to be instituted
Suppression Charged.
Representative Mas, Republican
OF Minnesota contended in st.
Paul speech last week that the ad-
ministration lis seeking to suppress
the Naval Board of Inquirys investi-
CATION until after the election. Sem
ator Ferguson, Republican. of Mich
igan likewise has called for publica-
ton.
The President and high officials
had word of the Pearl Harbor attack
six hours in advance and sent no
warning" Mr.. Mas said.
Mr.. Engel, member of the House
Appropriations Committee, set up
two specific charges in a statement:
/. AS early as November, 1887, Mr..
Roosevelt received one of the most
amazing and detailed reports on the
growth of German air power and
the rising menace to America ever
to come from an American military
attache. This intelligence report
gave detailed information in grave
warning to this country, but not one
word of its contents was ever re-
vealed to the Congress.
2. Mr.. Roosevelt from 1885 to 1941
actually cut War Department re-
quests by $685., ,827 ,456, and Congress
appropriated 1882 ,588 ,695 more than
the Chief Executive asked"
Report on Rising Nazi Power.
Mr.. Engel attached to his state
ment what he described as an exact
copy of the 1887 report on rising
German airpower. AS released, the
report was over the name of Mai
Truman Smith. The report was
marked Restricted" but Mr.. Engel
said, Il am now able to make it
public"
while President Roosevelt had
insistent warnings of grave poten-
tialities of German war strength,
he said, "he was holding down the
requests for funds, and now blames
Congress for the failure to provide
equipment for the Army"
The Army boards report on Pearl
Harbor will be reviewed for security
by appropriate military authori-
ties" which means that the un-
named authorities will determine

BY MARION WADE DOYLE.

Mrs. Roosevelt told her press con-
ference today she does not believe
fourth term for her husband is
the main issue in the coming elec-
ton. Winning the war, getting ev-
erybody jobs and keeping the peace
are, in her opinion, 'the three big
issues" she said.
Bothered by a persistent cough
during the conference, Mrs. Roose-
velt blamed Washington weather
rather than the long automobile
drive she made with the President
through the rain in New York Sat-
urday.
A reporter asked if she had got
ten that cold" during the trip in
New York, and Mrs. Roosevelt shook
her head.
i haven't got a cold" she replied
This is something I get in Wash
ington-a little irritation in the back
of my throat"
