EN- ROUTE WITH GOV.
DEWEY TO BOSTON, Oct. 28.-
Speedy action to block the ad-
vance of Communism in Asia
was pledged today by Gov.
Dewey.
Transforming across Massachu-
sets toward Boston, the Republican
presidential nominee left behind in
Cleveland last night promise that
if he is elected this country will
strengthen its bonds with non-
Communist China.
He also received assurance in
Cleveland of support from Alvanley
Johnston, head of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers.
Gov Dewey will speak in the Bos-
ton Arena tonight on an unan-
nounced subject. His talk will be
broadcast from 9 to $50 pm. over
the Columbia Broadcasting System.
The New Yorker promised today
that if elected he would bring back
to Government the good old-fash-
ioned American idea of teamwork.
He told crowd of 5000 at Pitts
field, Mass, that the Democrats
don't know how to get there even
when they find the direction in
which Government policies should
go. He was introduced by Gov.
Robert F. Bradford.

ed with big cheer.
Before arrival in Boston late in
the afternoon, the New York Gov
ernor also planned short talks at
Springfield, Worcester and Franz
ingham, Mass.
Will Pause at Other Points.
His train was to slow down so
that he could wave to spectators at
Westfield and Palmer, Mass.
Gov. Dewey's plug for quick aid
to China was in line with the known
feeling of some of his top advisers
that the Soviets are being permitted
almost by default-to make great
gains in Asia while the worlds at
tentlon is centered on the Berlin
blockade.
These advisers give some credence
to the theory that it is part Of
Russian stall in Berlin to keep
the worlds eyes off Asia.
Gov. Dewey put some of this
thought into words when he told
an audience estimated at $4,000 per-
sons which gave him an ovation
in the Cleveland Auditorium last
night:
1T is very late and all China
is in grave peril. We will renew
and strengthen our ancient ties Of
friendship with this great war
time ally"

Herbert, who boarded the Dewey
train at Toledo. rode with the New
York Governor and his wife in
the parade.
The Governor accused the Tru-
man administration of being FUN
bling and weak" in its handling of
world problems. He said it had
made tragic concessions" in many
parts Of the world.
BY consent of our Government"
he declared, "the Soviet has reached
far out into the Pacific in the
Kurile Islands near our own Aleu-
| tians.
In a little more than three years
I the Soviet has extended its sway
nearly half way around the world
and now rules more than 100000, 900
human beings"
Slamming at Mr. Trumans con-
duct of foreign affairs, Gov. Dewey
said-without naming his oppo-
nent: I'VE shall not achieve peace
by conducting these desperately i'm
portant matters on happy Thought
basis or by jovially remarking that
We like good old Joe"
