Dewey toEnter
Z War Leaders
Plans State I ests
With Eisenhower
And Macarthur

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York will test his newly an
nounced presidential candidacy
against Gen. Eisenhower and
Gen. Macarthur in the country's
first two primaries this spring.
Following Gov. Dewey's entrance
into the race yesterday, it was an
nounced in Albany today that full
states of Dewey candidates for elec-
ton as delegates to the Republican
National Convention in Philadel-
phia in June would be entered in
New Hampshire and Wisconsin.
Opposing the New York Governor
in New Hampshire on March 9 will
be states backing Gen. Eisenhower
and Harold E. Stassen. former Gov-
ernor of Minnesota. Eight conven-
ton delegates will be named.
In Wisconsin on April 26, Gov.
Dewey, the 1914 Republican nomi-
nee, will be entered against Mac
Arthur and Stassen tickets. The
State has 81 delegate votes.
Candidate Urged to File.
MEANWHILE, Senator Wherry, Re-
publican, of Nebraska said here to.
day that all candidates for the COP
nomination @should get into State
primaries so that the people will
have chance to say who they want
for their nominee"
| Senator Brewster of Maine ex-
pressed similar views saying:
"A direct expression by the vot-
ers on their preference certainly
would be a considerable improve
ment over the unofficial polls which
have been taken and which may be
used for propaganda purposes"
Senator Morse, Republican, Of
Oregon, where Dewey supporters yes
terday got the green light to enter
his name in the May 81 primary,
said he thought the State can
serve as very good political labor
atory test of Western sentiment If
all of the aspirants for the nomina-
ton allow their names to go on the
ballot"
VIII Accept III Nominated.
James c. Hagerty, executive as
sistant to the Governor, made the
authorized" announcement for Gov.
Dewey late yesterday in comment
ing on the entry of the Governors
name in the Oregon primary.
Mr.. Hagerty said the Governor
warmly appreciates the support
and loyalty of his many friends in
Oregon.
"He is fully engaged with the
work of the legislative session and
cannot actually seek the nomina-
ton of his party for President, but
if nominated will accept" Mr; Hag-
erty added. ~
Washington headquarters for the
Dewey President campaign have
!, been opened at 317-319 Woodward
Building, it was announced today by
Joseph r. Roth.
Gov. Dewey has been aggressively
but privately seeking the presiden-
tial nomination since early last
summer. His open entry into the
contest took Albany by surprise,
however, as it had been stated au-
thoritatively several times iii the
last few months that he would not
become an avowed aspirant.
The shift in strategy was viewed
as q reflection of lately developed
belief by the Governor and his ad-
visers that he would have to get his
candidacy out in the open If he
were to head off Gen. Eisenhower
and the previously declared candi-
dates-Senator Taft of Ohio, Mr..

Rail Strike Threatens
Nation February s
As Mediation Fails
Truman Now May Appoin
Foct-Findine Board,
Delaying WoIkout
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CLEVELAND, Jan. 17.-An-
other Nationwide railroad strike
was threatened today by three
operating brotherhoods, who
said they would walk out Feb
ruary 6 unless given 80 per cent
pay increase and A changes in
working rules.
D. B. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Flremen
and Enginemen, announced the
strike deadline here last night after
Chairman Frank P. Douglass OF the
National (railway) Mediation Board
revealed in Chicago he would ad-
wise President Truman that media
ton efforts have broken down and
an emergency existed.
Under provisions of the Railway
Labor Act the President now may
appoint a fact finding board to in
vestigate the dispute and make rec
concentrations. The board then has
80 days to hold hearings and report
to the President. A 30-day cool
ing off" period is required before, a
walkout may start.
Would Cripple Railroads.
Mr.. Robertson said his union and
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers and the Switchmen's Union
of North America would 'go ahead
with strike plans set for 6 am,
February 6.
A strike by the three unions, who
claim a membership of more than
238 900, would affect about 240 rail-
roads and switching yards in the
country, Mr.. Robertson estimated.
| 1t appeared such a walkout would
halt rail movement as completely as
in May, 1916, when the Brotherhoods
of Locomotive Engineers and Rail-
road Trainmen struck for 48 hours
before capitulating to President
Trumans term as troops were being
prepared to man the trains.
Mr.. Douglass said the Mediation
Board had been trying since No
vember "a to settle the dispute be-
tween the three brotherhoods and
carriers.
Emergency Can Be Declared.
.Setting of the strike date was a
consequence of the breakdown in
mediation, and leads to the declar-
alton of an emergency, under which
the President appoints the faet-find-
ing board. .
Following appointment of the
Emergency Fact-Finding Board. the
strike date automatically becomes
ineffective. The Railway Labor Act
stipulates that when this board has
been named, mo change in the
conditions out of which the dispute
arose shall be made by either party
to the controversy during a period
of so days"
The engineers report member
ship of about 10000; the flremen
and enginemen about 10000, ano
the switchmen about 10000.

Heavy Snowfall,
Low Of 18Due
Here Tonight
Forecast Lends
Weight to Appeal
For Fuel Saving

A Weather Bureau forecast
Of 18-degree temperature and
heavy snow tonight added
weight today to warning by
the District Fuel Oil Co-ordi-
mating Committee that a IS per
cent reduction in fuel oil con-
sumption is needed to offset a
serious shortage.
Calling for rigid economy in the
use of fuel oil, gasoline and gas,
President Truman directed all Gov
ernment buildings burning oil to
keep temperatures at a maximum
of 68 degrees during the day and
so degrees at night.
Supt. of Sanitation william A.
Xanten, anticipating a 6-inch snow,
ordered street-clearing machinery
prepared for an emergency.
Coming on the heels of frigid
weather that has created a snow
belt from Memphis to New England
and sub-zero temperature in the
North and Midwest, tonights pre-
dicted snow and freezing weather
was to interrupt the comparatively
mild temperatures expected today.
Asks Full Cooperation.
It portended to express more elo-
quently than words the fuel oil
shortage that has gripped much
of the East and now is the cause
of concern to District officials.
j. Thomas Kennedy, head of the
Fuel Committee, said there must
be full cooperation" by District
fuel oil consumers since stocks are
hard-hit by the continued cold
weather.
Mr.. Kennedy said all fuel oil
dealers would be advised today to
head off any signs of panic buying. -
In cases where consumers have
partly filled tanks, and it is not
their regular time for refllling, they
will be asked to postpone buying.
Special Limit Set.
Mr.. Truman's directive for reduced
heat in Government buildings also
applied to Government residences
and residential quarters. He said
Offices should not waste electricity
or hot water. A speed limit of 40
miles an hour was set for all Federal
vehicles except in cases of emergency.
Premium grade motor fuel oil is
to be used only in special cases and
no equipment may be installed for
burning fuel oil, gas or liquifed
petroleum gas without prior approval
of the Bureau of Mines, the Presi-
dent directed. The only exception
to this was cases in which firm
commitments for the installation
already have been made"
The rules on reduced heat will be
followed except where full or rigid
observance would impair or endanger
health or safety" the directive said.
Trucks Equipped With Plows.
Mr.. Xanten ordered the Dis
trict's entire snow-fighting resources
readied for the anticipated storm
Maintenance men began equipping
80 Sanitary Department, 80 High
way Department and Is National
Park Service trucks with snowplows.
Between 400 and 600 men were
told to report tonight when the
snow begins falling. Following the
usual formula for SHOWS, sanding
trucks will be dispatched first to
sand hills and principal streets.
The Capital Transit Co. will assist
in sanding bus routes and will put
sweepers on streetcar lines.
Provided the snow is heavy
enough, upward of 1000 men will be
set to plowing, sanding and shovel
ing after the storm ends.
