Senatorial Campaign
In New York Grows
Wider, More Bitter
BY the Associoted Press

New York's Senatorial campaign
spread to five fronts today as the
rival candidates and influential
supporters from the State and
Federal administrations criss-
crossed upstate.
Former Gov. Herbert H. Leh-
man, standard bearer of the
Democratic and Liberal Parties,
prepared to head west from
Rochester, where he heard a party
leaders claim of surprising
Democratic strength in usually
Republican Monroe County.
Senator Dulles. the Republican
nominee, began his sixth upstate
swing at Elmira after telling an
audience in New York City that
the Democratic Fair Deal" pro-
gram threatens human liberty.
Stamping for Senator Dulles for
the fourth successive week, Gov.
Dewey moved across Southwestern
New York.
Hits Truman "Slot Machine"
The Governor, hitting at the
Truman administration as "the
worst slot machine of all" from
which you get less" than you put
in, urged Senator Dulles election
November because of his ex-
perience in foreign affairs.
On the upstate campaign trail
for Mr.. Lehman were Representa-
tive Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr..
Democrat-Liberal, and former
Senator James NJ. Mead, ap-
pointed last week to the Federal
Trade Commission.
Mr. Lehman received the opti-
mistic report on Democratic
strength in Monroe County from
County Chairman Roy Bush in
Rochester, where Lehman spoke
last night at two meetings.
Joint Labor Rally.
At one of them. joint AFL-CIO
rally, the largest crowd of his
two upstate tours-2,500 persons
turned out.
He said, as he has through the
campaign. that the main issue
was liberalism VS.. reaction" and
that his defeat would encourage
reactionary forces. |
Senator Dulles spoke last night
IN New York at the Herald Trib-
une Forum, which Mr.. Lehman
had addressed Monday night.
Mead Attacks Dulles.
Mr.. Dewey spoke on Senator
Dulles behalf last night at Hor-
nell after speeches earlier at Cor
ming and Bath. He lauded Sen
ator Dulles as "by all odds the
most towering figure in foreign
affairs and a veteran of a thou
sand hours with Molotov and Vi
shinsky.'
An opposing appraisal of Sem
ator Dulles ability in foreign af-
fairs came from, Mr.. Mead in
q speech last night at Sidney. |
He described the Senator as a.
man who shouted before Pearl
Harbor that it was hysteria to
think that Germany, Japan or
Italy would attack" the United
States. Mr.. Mead claimed tiaatf
Senator n1llles tSsed the full forcel
of his influence ea slow down .tne1
country's preparedness for the last
World War" ~. ~, sssssssssay,.. ,s..ea.

On my way to the market
this morning, I noticed a tele-
phone truck parked in front
of Jane PauTs house. l wasn't
surprised when Jane called
this afternoon to say she'd
gotten her telephone.
She said she is on a party line,
the same as I am. The tele-
phone installer had explained
that about seven out of every
ten families with telephones are
on party lines. Jane said if it
weren't for party.line service,
she would have had to wait q
lot longer for her telephone.
That reminded me Of some
thing I was reading in the
newspaper last night about
the telephone company's con-
struction and improvement
program. The news article
said that ain spite of the
rapid progress being made on
this program, some people
are still waiting for tele-
phones" 1t went on to say
that "the company was MAX
