Editorializing on reports that Mr.

I'VE won't take a tragic view of
this. The whole thing has to be

New Dulles Reports
Studied by Dewey on
Return 10 Albany
Berlin Blockade Problem
And Other U. N. Work
Covered by Adviser
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-Gov
Dewey today studied fresh re-
ports from John Foster Dulles,
his foreign affairs adviser, after
returning last week from New
York, where he made his first
statement on housing in break
ing ground for the new Alfred
E. Smith housing project.
The. reports on progress Of the
Berlin blockade problem and other
international issues in the United
Nations meeting in Paris were
transmitted to the Republican pres
idential nominee through Allen
Dulles, brother Of the American
delegate to the U. N.
Gov. Dewey also was attempting
to clean up State business before
his second campaign tour.
Leaves Tomorrow Night.
He starts out tomorrow night for
another round of speaking, with the
first formal address at Pittsburgh
Monday night.
In the Dewey camp 1t was con-
tended unofficially that President
Truman's recall of Secretary of
State Marshall for a report on the
Paris developments was designed, in
part. to Offset the New York Gov
ernor's action in having John Foster
Dulles fly here earlier in the week
for personal briefing.
Both candidates were said by some
politicians to be trying to impress
the public with the attention they
give every move in the troubled
relations between the United States
and Russia.
Each has been sounding a peace
theme. Mr. Truman hit it hard last
night in his speech at Buffalo that
ended a transforming trip through
New York State.
He said he thought it was the
prayer of the American people that
we have peace"
Says Slums Must Be Rebuilt.
Gov. Dewey will have a chance to
give his version when he starts
Monday morning on a series of
trairside appearances in Pennsyl-
vania.
In New York yesterday he told q
rainy day crowd of 500 persons at
the site of Al Smiths birthplace
that city slums must be cleared and
rebuilt.
He added that the Federal Gov
ernment must come through with
subsidies to speed up Improve
ments" when they are needed in the
crowded urban centers.
Dewey aides said originally that
the nominee would talk about labor
legislation at Pittsburgh. He ap-
parently has changed his mind, but
he has not disclosed what his topic
will be.
