may be made with the hope that someone or somebody will gain momentary advantage" These, he asserted, may take the form of "hysterical, last minute accusations or sensational revelations, trumped up in an attempt to panic the peo- pie on election day.
 "But the American people are not panicked easily" he said.
 MT. Roosevelt'S address came on the eve of his departure for New England where he makes stops to- morrow at Bridgeport and Hart ford, Conn, and Springfield, Mass, before proceeding to Boston for ar1- other major address at g D.. m. (ewt) Saturday night.
 Charges
 His speech last night, delivered from the White House, also brought charges that the Republicans were threatening to build a party spite fence between us and the peace" by saying that Congress will not co- operate in fashioning the peace url- less Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, the COP candidate, is elected.
 Congress, MT. Roosevelt said, demonstrated that it would work with the administration on foreign policy when 1t passed last year the Connally and Fulbright resolutions which pledged this nation to CO., operate in a world organization for peace"
 The chief executive opened his address by saying that the exigerl- cies of war had prevented him from making a personal swing to Cleve- land, Detroit and upstate New York as he had desired.
 T find" he said, that am not free to spare the time right now. Therefore, I am speaking to you from the White House follow the principle of first things first; and this war comes first"
 Declaring that the war against Japan is many months ahead Of our own optimistic schedule" MT. Roosevelt paid high praise to Am- erican fighting men on all fronts and to the men and women on the homefront who have kept them supplies over vast distances.
 Satisfaction
 He also expressed satisfaction at the record of our teamwork with our Allies" and said this teamwork would prove 8 foundation for a strong and durable organization for world peace"

It would be a sorry and cynical thing to betray this hope for the sake of mere political ad- vantage, and tragic thing to shat ter it because of the failure of vl- Sion."
 And, he charged, it is only i'll the hone of gaining "momentary ad- vantage" that the opposition has started a whispering campaign "distateful to all of us."
 ''Whispers" :.
 "This campaign has been marred by even more than the usual crop of whisperings and rumorings," he said, some of these get into print, in certain types of newspapers: oth- CTS are traded about, secretly, m one black market after another. l do not propose to answer in kind:
 Without mentioning Dewey by name, MT. Roosevelt replied to the Republican standard bearers charg- es that the present administration had no plans for the future.
 By carrying out the plans we have made. we can avoid a postwar depression-we can prcV!ISc employ ment for our veterans and our war workers-we can achieve orderly re- conversion" he said. And then, m an implied reference to the Hoover era, he asked:
 "Above all, we can avoid another false boom like that which burst in 1929 and dismal collapse like that of 193O to 193S."
