The report gained ground thai
Dewey was slipping.
The New York Governor had moi
taken the Stassen candidacy tot
seriously. But he is now engaged
in a transforming campaign in
oregon, where only he and Mr.
Stassen are entered in the. presi-
Dental preferential primary. He
came to the conclusion, apparently
that something must be done tc
halt the report he is no longer as
popular or as great a vote-gettel
as he has been in the past. If he
throws Stassen back on his heels
in Oregon May 81, the Minnesotan's
road, which Is likely to be difficult
in any case, will be still more rocky
Mr.. Dewey has more instructed
and pledged delegates than any
other candidate, as the count
stands. Not only is he assured OF
the big New York delegation, 81
strong, but he has strong supporters
among the delegates selected in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, In
Maine, Iowa and Kentucky.
The race is grueling for the
Republican presidential nomination
this year because the nomination
for the first time in many long
years is believed to be top value
Gov. Dewey fully realized this would
be the case more than year ago
He is in the fight now with his
sleeves rolled up.
The New Yorker is 46 years old
eight years older than when he
made his first bid for the presi-
Dental nomination, nomination
he might have had but for the un-
expected Willkie. In those eight
years he has had wide political and
governmental experience. He has
tackled tough problems and dealt
with them. He never waits for a
problem to develop avalanche pro-
portions. He goes to meet it.
Has Some Able Helpers
He took the lead, when he be-
came a presidential nominee in
1914, in the development of strong
bipartisan foreign policy for the
United States. It was he who sent

u. S., Switzerland Disagree
On Mark Exchange Rate

BERN, Switzerland, Sept. 4 R.-
Swiss and American authorities have
been unable to reach agreement on
the exchange rate Of the Swiss franc
with the new Deutsche mark Of
Western Germany.
An official announcement today
said this question was discussed
among others by Willard L. Thorp,
American Undersecretary of State
for economic questions, in a recent
visit with Swiss officials here. No
agreement could be reached and the
Swiss have suggested that the ques-
ton be submitted to a tribunal for
arbitration.
The question is tied up closely with
that of hidden German assets In
Switzerland, which the Western
powers are seeking to appropriate.
Mr.. Thorp's discussions here came
after the sessions Of the United Ma
tions Economic and Social Council in
Geneva, at which he was the Amer
lean delegate. He also discussed with
the Swiss the question Of Swiss par
ticipation in the European Recovery
Program.
