he SalQ Senator Vandenberg and
MIR. Dulles found that there was not
one word about Justice and inter-
national law" as principles on which
the U. N. should stand. Under
their leadership this defect was
corrected, he said.
He pointed out that nothing had
been included to deal with the spe-
cial case of dependent peoples in
colonies all over the world, and
gave Harold Stassen credit for
closing that gap.
The hemisphere defense pact be-
tween North and South America,
and similar mutual defense agree
ments would not have been possible
under the original Charter draft,
Gov. Dewey argued. Such agree
ments could not have been en-
forced without approval of the Sc
curity Council, he pointed out. add
ing that, "as we now know to our
sorrow, a vote in the Security Coun-
Gil all too often means q veto by
the Soviet"
Blunt Words in Pittsburgh.
Gov. Dewey reminded his Pitts
burgh audience that majority of
both parties in Congress passed the
Wagner Act of the early '30s and
the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947.
Besides dealing in detail with one
Of the big controversial issues in
the campaign, Gov, Dewey also
hammered much more specifically
at President Truman and the Dem
ocratlc administration. For the,
first time he used such words as
miserable" helpless" unwilling"
confused" "misnamed Democrats"
"vacillating" and "pusillanimous"
in hitting the Presidents handling
of foreign and domestic affairs.
In his blunt attack at Pittsburgh
he charged that mo administration
ever made so many fundamental
serroFs even from base political mo-
'tives."
I'VE are electing q Republican
administration that will unfailingly
back up the work of its own repre-
sentatives in the United Nations
for peace" he declared. .s
In Kentucky today, Gov. Dewey
is making five speeches, seeking
votes not only for himself but also
for Republican Senator Cooper,
whose reelection is more important
to the Republicans than the win
ming of Kentucky's electoral votes
for the Dewey-Warren ticket.
Senator Cooper is popular figure.
His Independent record in the Sen
ate has won him friends in both
parties in the State.
At Lexington. the first stop in
Kentucky, this morning, Gov. Dewey
spoke out promptly for Senator
Cooper, who, he said, has won the
friendship of his colleagues on both
sides of the political aisle in the
Senate.
| Bids for Democratic Votes.
Touching briefly on foreign policy,
Gov. Dewey said the present admin
istration has "vacillated from one
side to the other on foreign affairs
until no one in Washington" knows
where it stands on given morning.
In normally Democratic Kentucky,
Gov. Dewey was frankly bidding for
Democratic as well as Republican
support. He said he hoped thousands
OF Democrats would vote for Senator
Cooper, and called attention to a
letter written by Senator Vanden-
berg, urging Senator Cooper's re-
election.
Gov. Dewey said he welcomed to
his audience in Lexington States
Rights Democrats, regular Demo-
Gratis and Republicans because he
believes that once the election is
over Americans must close ranks.
Cooper's Reelection Indicated.
Several weeks ago the prevailing
opinion was that the nomination of
Senator Barkley as President Tru-
mans running mate would strength
en- the entire Democratic ticket in
Kentucky, and probably pave the
way for the election of Representa-
tive Chapman, the Democratic can
didate against Senator Cooper. Re-
cent surveys indicate, however, that
Senator Cooper is likely to be re-

its electoral votes to the Truman
Barkley ticket.
Gov. Dewey told his Pittsburgh
audience that the Wagner (NLRB)
Act was fine beginning" and for
time real progress" was made
under it. He charged, however, that
it came to be used more and more
by the Democrats for political pur-

The nominee carefully avoided
the names Of Senator Taft and Rep
