on regulation of atomic warfare as
we'll as the development of atomic
energy for peaceful purposes.
In New Mexico yesterday, Gov
Dewey dashed out at Communist ex-
pansion plans and promised an ad-
ministration which would not lone
day play 'footie' with the Commu-
nists and the next day say: We
don't like you
Hits Dealings With Russia.
Gov. Dewey proclaimed his belief
that the maintenance of world
peace and the control of imitation
at home are linked inseparably to-
gether.
Firing new barbs at the Truman
administration dealings with Rus
STA, Gov. Dewey told an audience in
Santa Fe:
II want an administration which
will not one day concede volun-
tarily and almost give away other
peoples territory to them, and the
next day say it's too bad they
got it,"
Gov. Dewey has been campaign
ing in the West now for four days,
and newsmen on his train have
detected a marked change in his
style from the Dewey of 1914.
He is getting away more and
more from the serious and dignified
recitation of prepared texts to add
light honey touch to the greeting
he extends to those who turn out
along his train route.
For example, at Ration, N. Mex.
yesterday, large group of high
school boys and girls were IN the
crowd and he bought from one of
them SIS worth of tickets to a school
dance. Then he handed the tickets
back and suggested the youngster
distribute them to some of the pupils
who otherwise would not be able
to 60.
ImprOmptu Talk Effective.
Many Of the reporters covering
his campaign agreed that the i'm
promptu talk he made in a Santa Fe
gymnasium yesterday was the most
effective vote-getting appeal he has
yet delivered on this trip.
1t was an enthusiastic audience
and the Governor turned on all OF
his charm as ne told them New
Mexico is like New York Clty--a
melting pot.
In New Mexico, he said three great
civillzatlons-Indlan, Spanish and
nglo-American-have grown up to-
gether just as the immigrants from
many lands have done In New York
Then he noted that the Indians
Of New Mexico at last have had
their right to vote recognized this
year. He drew applause when he
added, "As a matter of fact they
were mere first"
In his speech in Albuquerque last
night, Gov. Dewey took the position
that this country can only master
the questions of swollen prices, debt
and taxes in a world at peace"
He thus tied imitation and foreign
policy tightly together declaring
Americas No. l domestic problem
is world peace"
Urges Europe Federation.
The Republican nominee de-
nounced slick and ruthless Com
munist revolutionaries" whom he
charged with endangering the peace
of the world. and once again called
for federation of the free nations
of Europe.
Western Europe and Western
Germany have a population almost
twice as large as that of the United
States, he pointed out.
Divided into Is separate and
weak nations, each one is a constant
invitation to attack" he continued
But united in a strong federation
of free nations they could be an
enormous bulwalk to peace. Here
is our magnificent opportunity: To
use our aid to bring about such a
federation. That would be the
greatest feat in the history OF
diplomacy and a landmark in the
history of freedom"
The immediate causes OF present
high prices are rooted in the heavy
Government spending for the war
which were unavoidable, and which
are not begrudged, Gov. Dewey said.
He argued, however, that the
danger of imitation has been aggra-
waited by mistaken policies, bad
management and poor judgment OF
the Federal Government.
Imitation Control Is Aim.
Asserting that "boom and bust is
what we are determined to prevent"
the Republican standard-bearer
added that "our purpose is to con-
troll imitation, not bring on def1a-
ton"
Although he did not say so, the
steps he proposed to control in
fiation constituted his second de-
tense of the Republican-controlled
Eighthieth Congress which Presi-
dent Truman has made the whip
ping boy of his campaign. Gov.
Dewey promised:
l, To cut down ION every avoid
able dollar of spending by the Gov
eminent"
2. To set aside substantial part
of national revenues for debt retire.

debt held by the banking system.
