to what he described as "a recent
dangerous hour" and said he was
thinking obviously of Berlin" He
added:
Now that we have gone to the
United Nations we must intelli-
gently avoid any unilateral. indie
pendent action on our own account,
lest we confuse our friendly asso-
ciates, cramp the Security Council
and encourage our opponents to
think our appeal to the United
Nations is either timid or insin-
cere."
Senator Vandenberg, chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, said he made the statement
/ solely by way of admonition to all
of us that we must proceed with
the greatest caution so that
there cannot be any Of those mis-
calculations or mistakes which are
historically the roots of war"
I'VE are in Berlin by right" he
added We shall not be driven out.
We shall not negotiate under

CHICAGO, Oct. II. - Three big
States of the Midwest, Kansas, Me-
braska and Iowa seem safely in the
Dewey column in the presidential
race. The Republicans will roll up
impressive majorities in Kansas and
Nebraska. While the race may be
closer in Iowa, Gov. Dewey is ex-
pected to carry the State, as he did
In is44.
With the Republican victory in
kansas conceded even by Democrats,
keen interest in the election centers
around a proposed amendment to
the State constitution doing away
with prohibition. From time imme-
moral, Kansas has been banner
dry State, politically, although its
residents have found means of
quenching their thirst. Today. there
is a hard drive under way to make
the liquor traffic legal and to do
away with the bootleg system. :
The young people, and particu-
larly the war veterans, are out to
remove Kansas as an. arid zone.
They have the support of some of
the business interests, on the ground
that If prohibition Is done away
with q new industry will develop
in the State. -
Bill White Leads Fight.
Bill White, son OF the late Will
liam Allen, White, Kansas editor
and sage, is out for the Constitu-
tional amendment. He sees a VIC
tory for the amendment by $4,000
votes. He may be wrong. In any
event the opponents Of Statewide
prohibition in Kansas will keep on
fighting, and may win in another
round of the fight. The Constitu-
tional amendment on which the
vote will be taken gives the State
Legislature the power to enact laws
governing liquor traffic.
Gov, Dewey carried Kansas four
years ago against President Roose-
welt by $4,000 votes. Republican
leaders expect his margin of victory
this year to reach 100000.
In addition to giving its electoral
vote to Gov. Dewey, Kansas also
will elect all six of its Republican
members of the House and give q
sweeping victory to former Gov.
Andrew F. Sceopple. Republican
candidate for the Senate. Mr..
Scheopple, who will succeed the
veteran Senator Arthur Capper, is
opposed by former Democratic Sem
ator George McGill, an early cas-
ualty when Kansas turned away
from the Roosevelt New Deal None
of the Republican House members
appear to be in any danger what
ever.
Easy Dewey Victory Forecast.
Nebraska is expected to turn in a
Dewey victory by about 10000.
according to Republican leaders.
Even the Democrats admit they will
lose the State to the Dewey Warren
ticket by $4,000 votes In Nebraska
the only hope which the Democrats

can and elect Democrat member
of the House in the Omaha district.
1t Is by no means certain they can
do 1t. Senator Wherry, Republican
nominee to succeed himself, will win
without difficulty.
Iowa does not present much Of a
problem for the Republican presi-
dental ticket. It does. however,

NEW YORK, Oct. IL (P.-The
United States, says Senator Vanden-

from independent action on the

He made the statement in a

had abandoned a plan to- send
Chief Justice Vinson to Moscow to

Gov. Frank J. Lausche.
Mr.. Lewis later was equally re-
ticent. Asked by newsmen II he had
listened to President Trunaaliss
speech over the radio. Mr.. Lewis
said: Il can't hear you. How about
discussing the weather."
Mr.. Truman said another Repub-
Ilican Congress, II, elected, would "be
run by the same old bosses"
"a Republican President" he said
would be "just as helpless about
| it as I've been for the last two
years"

Democrats Renew Charges.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Ma
tional Committee has renewed its
charges regarding an alleged state
ment by Gov. Dewey last year.
80 1t quoted Isidor Feldman, legisla-
tive representative of the Civil
Service Career Association of New
York as declaring that Mr. Dewey s
recent campaign statements prais-
ing civil service employees are at

the President. define the principal
issues OF the campaign as peace,
prices and places to live"
He charged that my Republican
opponents are not speaking plainly
and honestly" on these questions.
The President was opening q
weeks stumping tour OF the Middle
West with the Cincinnati talk.
The speech was the. first OF nine
listed In Ohio In an all-day pro-
gram. which will be topped off at 9
O'Clock tonight in the Rubber Bowl
at Akron, where the CIO United
Rubber Workers throw q lot of
weight. Jack Kroll, CIO-PAC head,
and Mrs. Kroll are accompanying
the President to Akron.
Prices and Housing.
In this setting. the TaftaHartley
Act, prices and housing may be ex-.
pected to get the major attention
of the President, with perhaps
something on the peace issue which
was highlighted over the week end
with disclosure that Mr.. Truman
had been considering dispatching
Chief Jsutice Vinson to Moscow to
talk things over with the Russians.
W,.sie the President has made
several back platform talks in an
earlier crossing of Ohio, today marks
his first all-out effort to win the
State which Gov. Dewey carried
against President Roosevelt by
II, ,O00-vote ma jority four years ago.
At the same time, Senator Taft was
winning reelection by $4,000 votes.
Many top figures in Ohio Democ-
racy were due to see the President
today. The group joining him in
Cincinnati included Secretary of
Commerce Sawyer, former national
committeeman: Mr.. Lausche, who Is
running again after losing out in the
1946 COP landslide; Representative
KirWin, chairman oi the Congress
sional Campaign Committee, and
George White. a former national
chairman.
At Dayton, where Mr.. Truman
again leaves his train for noon
time speech at Memorial Park, he
will be introduced by James NJ Cox,
Ohio and Florida publisher, who was
the Democratic presidential candi-
date in 1890, when another Ohioan,
Senator Harding, beat the Cox
Roosevelt ticket.
Tomorrow Mr.. Truman will back
track in Ohio, and cut through
Indiana and into Illinois, for a night
speech at Springfield.
The current trip, fourth of the.
campaign will take MIR. Truman as
far as Wisconsin and Minnesota.
He left Washington at o'clock
last night, after putting in three
days. last week in Delaware. Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and New York.

on the operators.
