Deal has continuously sought for
IL years to bring the Congress of
the United States into popular dis
repute. AS result no bill which
this administration can propose to
Congress Is today received with
anything less than suspicion. The
Nation is now reaping the bitter
fruit of executive arrogance toward
the elected representatives of the
people
At this point Gov. Dewey made
effective use of the temporary re-
volt of Senate Majority Leader
Barkley when the President vetoed
the current tax bill last February.
On Washington's Birthday
Gov. Dewey recalled, the President
sent to the Congress a veto message
so savage and unjust" that even
the long-suf1ering and subservient
Senator Barkley, Democratic ma
lority leader, rebelled. You remem-
ber the moving and impassioned
speech that Senator Barkley made.
You remember how, provoked
beyond endurance, he rose in the
Senate to denounce the words of
the veto message of Mr.. Roosevelt
as more clever than honest and
as a calculated and deliberate as
sault on the legislative integrity of
every member of Congress You
remember how the other Senators
regardless of party rose as one man
to cheer this declaration of inde-
pendence by Senator Barkley and
the members of the House, regard
less of party. crowded into the Sen
at chamber to shake Mr.. Barkleys
hand"
Gov. Dewey told his Oregon au-
dience that this was only one ex-
ample of long continued trend.
There exists today" he said, "a
hopeless division amounting to open
warfare between the Congress and
the President. We cannot enter this
critical period ahead with the Chief
Executive at war with Congress.
Gov. Dewey compared the preSi-

dency to his present position as
Governor of New York in presenting
his point that the Executive should
cooperate with the Legislature.
1T is part of the job of the
President to work in harmony with
Congress, just as it is part of the
job Of Governor to work in har-
mony with Legislature" he said.
Il can speak with feeling on that
point. I have worked closely with
the Legislature of my own State.
We have had many difficult
problems to work out But we have
never found it impossible to reach
an agreement when we sat down
together to discuss these problems
If we cannot agree at the first meet
ing, we meet again and often sit
far into the night talking the whole
thing over and eventually reaching
a meeting of minds"
Because OF his delayed arrival,
Gov. Dewey met local Republican
leaders after his speech instead of
before.
The crowd sang Let Me Call You
Sweetheart" to Mrs. Dewey after
the speech.

work of many, many people, all over
the world for many years"
His reference to peace based on
the friendship of two or three men
came only few days after the close
of the recent Quebec conference,
when Mr.. Churchill was quoted in
dispatches as having called atten-
ton to how he and the President
have come to know each other so
we'll for having worked so long to-
gether during the war.
Indispensability at Home Denied.
Although the highlight Of the
Portland speech was Gov. Dewey's
insistence that no one man can
make a lasting peace, the bulk of
his argument against a fourth term
was based on his claim that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is not indispensable
at home
He started out by recalling that
four years ago the President rep
resented himself as indispensable to
the preservation of peace.
Now four years later, he seeks a
fourth term, for total of Is years
as President, on the claim that he
Is indispensable to the world
Gov. Dewey continued, In the
carefully supervised words of his
own running mate, Mr.. Truman, the
very future of the peace and pros
perity of the world depends on his
reelection in November"
Turning from his international
aspect. however, Gov Dewey devoted
most of his speech to the painting
of a picture of recurring discord
within the Roosevelt administration
and OF conflict between the White
House and Congress.
The step We take in these critical
years ahead must have the joint
support Of the Congress and the
President" Gov. Dewey declared.
Can any such joint action and har-..
monious relationship be achieved
under this administration"
May Stick in Voters Minds.
OF course, Democrats and some
neutral observers will take issue
with Gov. Dewey's unqualified pre-
diction that the Republicans will
control the new Congress. Never
theless he has raised an issue which
may stick in the minds of some
voters.
The present makeup Of the SEN
ate is So Democrats, 81 Republicans
and l Progressive la Toilette of
wisconsin,. The House is much
closer with the Democrats holding
only few more seats than the Re-
publicans, with almost enough seats
vacant to determine control.
If the Republican trend that be-
gan in 1912 in House elections con-
tinues this year, the COP would
have little difficulty in taking over
that branch of Congress. In the
Senate it would take a landslide to
give the Republicans numerical
control.
In the case of the Senate, how
ever, it must be remembered that
on domestic issues the White House
has already lost effective control,
because Of the presence in that
body of a group of conservative
Democrats who frequently join with
the Republicans on economic ques-
tons
Gov. Dewey made the most of the
congressional situation last night
by stressing the Importance of har-
mony between the President and
| Con0roSS in tho yparS jy,opo eGio tc1v
following the war. And he also pre-
sented himself in the role of a de-
fender of Congress.

rails and rubbers, selected stocks
negotiated another swing today that
put favorites at best levels since the
bull market top of last July with
gains of fractions to more than 2
points
Revival of the investment urge,
predicated on dividends and earn
ings prospects, again received the
principal credit for the stiffening
of trends. Political optimism was a
factor and peace-rated issues con-
tinued to reflect the belief that
growing Allied successes would bring
victory sooner than expected.
Dealings slowed after the opening,
but picked up as bidding became
more insistent, and transfers of ap-
proximately 100000 shares were
among the largest for Saturday in
several months. Gains were well
maintained in most cases near the
close. Steels, motors, aircrafts, util-
tiles and coppers were relatively
narrow.

Plan DistrictCampaig
To Fill Vacant Jobs

Faced with the growing labor
shortage, industrial, Government
and United States Employment
Service officials were working out
plans today for Washington's first
mass recruitment campaign.
Though the campaign does not
envlsage a house toulouse canvass,
USES spokesmen said they hoped
that every home would be covered
through inserts in bills and other
deliveries to homes.
The decision to launch the cam
paign was discussed yesterday after
noon at a. meeting of District War
Manpower Commission officials and
representative of trade associations.
Alexander Shapiro, director of
personnel of the Caital Transit Co.,
was appointed chairman of tenn
porary committee to map plans for
the campaign. He said he would
appoint his committee next week.
Robert A. Morrison, manager of
the District USES, said his Office
now has 10000 untitled job orders
on file.
The present crisis, Mr.. Morrison
said, has been brought about by the
father draft. He said many COM
panies were losing the backbone of
their personnel, men who had been
with the firms for years and held
responsible positions. The employ
ers, he said, were having to re-
organize their staffs, in many cases
making as many as 10 shifts of
personnel to fill one job vacated by
an experienced worker.
