BY the Asseeiafsd Press

EN- ROUTE WITH DEWEY
THROUGH NEBRASKA, April g.
Thomas E. Dewey demanded today
that the United States refuse to
recognize the ''coups by which ma
tions are taken over from within" Z"
The New York Governor, aware
that defeat in Nebraskas Tuesday
primary might knock the props
from under his presidential chances,
set fast pace in the midst of his
three-day campaign in the State
Near freezing temperatures and a
north wind chilled the campaign
party as Gov Dewey stopped near
Holdredge, Nebr., to inspect irriga-
tion works and field ready for spring
planting.
At a gathering at Kearney, Nebr.,
Gov. Dewey said the United States
should refuse to recognize seizure
of nations by native quislings."
The crisis will subside If We re-
main strong, ne said, because die
tators don't attack strong nations.
Bids for Farm Vote.
AS in Wisconsin last week, he
urged a strong, firm and courage
Gus policy" toward Russia. He said
Russia cold war of conquest is due
largely to 'wobbling and appease-
ment" by the Truman administra-
ton.
Our government has given into
the Russians so often, Gov. Dewey
declared, that they believe we in
tend to do that forever"
BY their vote Tuesday, he said,
the people of Nebraska can make
"a very real and important con-
tribution toward getting our for
eign policy turned around toward
peace"
In an address prepared for
rally at Holdrege, Nebr., Gov.
Dewey made full scale bid for
the farm vote in this agricultural
State.
The New Yorker called for "home
rule" development of the Missouri
Valley basin, Federal price support
of farm products, extensive soil
conservation and maximum produc-
tion of food.
The time has come" he said in
a speech prepared for rally at
Holdrege, when we must estab-
lish a strong national policy, first
against waste of our water re-
sources, second against waste of
our soil resources and third against
waste of our food resources"
Rejects Valley Authority.
Gov. Dewey Endorsed the Pick
Sloan plan for developing the Mis-
souri, River and it's tributaries.
"I am especially Interested" he
added, 'in seeing to it that this
great basin development is carried
out as project in cooperative
control with full participation of
the States and the property holders
in this great area
Gov. Dewey rejected complete
ly" the proposal for federally ap-
pointed three-member Missouri VAL
ley Authority, which he said "has
the backing of the New Deal"
The Governor said, ut is absurd
to think of putting the interests of
10 States under the control of any
three men,. no matter what kind of
geniuses could be found for the job.
He said the Republican Party
''is committed to support prices and
I have personally long been COM
mitted to the firm belief that parity
must he maintained for American /
agriculture.
Would Modernize Parity.
"Our present parity formulas also
need to be modernized to prove
true measure between farm prices
and farm costs.
Gov. Dewey began his Nebraska
campaign tour at Grand Island last
night shortly after he arrived by
plane from Albany, N. Y.
Fifteen hundred persons waited
more than an hour for him to speak
in front of a hotel. He apologized
to the crowd for the delay and
blamed it on strong head winds
encountered during the 1,300-mile
flight.
I'm tired Of head Winds" he
said. Il ran into one yesterday in
Wisconsin"
Gov. Dewey will make a major
address on foreign policy at Lin
coin tonight.
He will tour several communities
tomorrow, winding up with speech
at night in Omaha. He then will
entrain for Chicago and fly to
Washington for the Gridiron Club
