white-collar worker organization?'
a reporter asked.
Like most everything else, the
answer is a change of administra-
ton" Gov. Dewey answered.
Invasion Called Great News.
The New York Governor, who had
complained earlier in the campaign
that insufficient supplies and man.
power had been assigned to Gen
Douglas Macarthur in the South
west Pacific, called Gen. MacAr-
thurs invasion of the Philippines
magnificent news"
He declined to discuss the supply
situation any furthera at this time
Gov Dewey's subject tonight will be
what Happens to Free Labor Under
Personal One Man Government ano
What Labor in America Has a Right
to Look Forward to Under a New
Administration" Paul E. Lockwood,
the Governor secretary, announced
Gov. Dewey made his first appeal
to organized workers in Seattle Sep
tember Is. At that time he indorsed
the National Labor Relations Act
but charged that under the present
administration it has been subject
to the wl1ims of bureaucrats.
Blamed Administration for Strikes.
At that time he declared the
Smith-Connally wartime antistrike
law, which expires automatically at
the end of the war, should never be
renewed. He blamed the admins
tration for most of the wartime
strikes, alleging that the War Labor
Board has delayed acting on COM
plants.
He deplored the scattering of labor
problems among many Government
agencies and promised to restore
the functions of labor control to the
Labor Department, headed by sec
retary chosen from the ranks of
labor.
With the CIO definitely aligned
with President Roosevelt's fourth
term campaign, the hope of Repub-
lican leaders has been to try TO win
over to Gov. Dewey substantial
part of the voters in other large
labor groups.
In Pennsylvania. as in West Vir-
ginia, the miners are a substantial
voting factor. Their leader. John L.
Lewis. broke with President RooSe-
welt during his second term, and this
wear the United Mine Workers
adopted resolutions criticizing the
administration, without going so far
as to indorse Gov Dewey. What
the miners as individuals decide to
do may have an important bearing
on the outcome in both Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia.
Strong CIO Territory.
Pittsburgh, being steel center,
likewise is strong CIO territory.
Gov. Dewey is expected to elaborate
here tonight on what he said in
Seattle in an effort to convince
of all unions that he will
preserve their basic protective laws
and administer them better.
AS developments from day to day
give more and more indication of
a close election, Pennsylvania IS
electoral votes loom larger in i'm
portance. Many political observers
believe the election may be decided
in that State.
Gov. Dewey Endorsed a State De-
partment warning to Nazi leaders
that they would pay the penalty
for their heinous crimes" if they
carried out reported plans to ex-
terminate Poles, Jews and other
nationals held in con-
centration camps.
Formal Statement Issued.
In a formal statement, issued last
night, Gov. Dewey said
information comes to this coun-
try from unquestionably reliable
sources that the Nazis, trapped and
knowing that they are faced with in
evitable defeat, are now resorting to
the known gangster terror devise of
to eXterminate their
very vtctims-Poles, Jews and other
non-German nationals-now i'm
prisoned by them in their horrible
concentration camps in parts of
Poland and other countries still oc-
cupied by the Nazis.
The civilized world is now in a |
position in unmistakable terms to
warn the Nazis-military command
'rs, members of the German govern
ment, their aiders, abettors and sup
certain and inevitable !
Justice awaits them for these brutal
and wanton murders if their schemes
should be carried out.
Il am happy to note that our
State Department has issued
warming that If these plans are
carried out, those guilty of such
nurderous acts will be brought to
Justice and pay the penalty for their
1einous crimes
American public opinion will
'ully support the statement issued
