At stake-from the Republican
viewpoints the size of the margin
by which the COP nominees fol-

dency one week from today.
Confident that Gov. Dewey has
enough rural and smaller city
strength to put him over, these Re-

down the usual Democratic ma jor-
tiles turned out by Chicago, Cleve-

Want to Match Truman.
For that reason Cook County Re-

to match or exceed the welcome
given to Mr.. Truman on his visit to
Chicago yesterday.
Similarly, Republicans will try to
out-do their Democratic rivals when
Gov. Dewey follows the President
into Cleveland tomorrow, into Bos-

Saturday.
Mr.. Truman, keeping one day
ahead all the way. will close his
campaign in st. Louis Saturday,

cast by the National Broadcasting

for granted in his camp that the

audience at South Bend that it
was the handiwork of men "who
don't want homeless Europeans
of certain religions" to get a
fresh start in this country.
The President previously has
charged that the measure discrim.
mates against Catholics and Jews
but he did not specify any groups
today.

was back in Indiana, bringing his
case to the people for the eighth

three years, Congress would vote
only to let 205,0O0 in, and those
''grudgingly."
The Nation needed this imnigra-
tion. the President said.
He also handed out the usual at
tack on Congress for not passing
adequate housing and price control
legislation, and urged the election
of Thurman Crook, Democratic
