Taft Says Eisenhower
viii Lose if Dewey
Runs His Campaign
Senator AssoiIs Type
Of Roce Conducted by
Governor in 1948
Rv A nYenu
By J. A. OLeoN
Sfur Sfoff coEKasnondsnf

CHICAGO, July Senator
Taft of Ohio predicted today that
if Gen. Eisenhower becomes the
Republican nominee and let's Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
run his campaign, he will be de-
feated in November as the Gov
ernor was in 1913.
Informed that Gov. Dewey is
arriving here tomorrow. Senator
Taft said:
IT have only seen reports he is
coming in to take charge Of the
Eisenhower campaign. I think
that is fair evidence Of the fear
I have had that if Gen. Eisen-
hower's campaign is run by Gov.
Dewey wen have the same kind
of campaign and defeat we had
in 1948."
ASsails "Hatemongers."
Other highlights of today's Taft
press conference were:
He denounced "hatemongers" he
said are conducting anonymous
campaigns against Gen. Eisenhow-
er by telephone, particularly in
California. He said he wants the
country to know he disowns such
tactics.
He said the top officials of Or
ganized labor, who have threat
ened to oppose him, do not have
the support of union workers gen.
orally. He said this was shown
when they tried to defeat him
for the Senate in 1850 and Sena-
tor Knowland in California this
year.
The Senator has no reason to
think he will not be fully willing
to stand on the foreign policy
plank the convention adopts.
Hits Type of Campaign.
Although denouncing Gov.
Dewey's type of high level" 1948
campaign, Senator Taft said his
forgiving nature would extend to
the New York Governor if SEN
ator Taft is nominated. He said
he would welcome the help of the
Governor.
He insisted, however, he would
conduct a fighting campaign
against the New Deal and Fair
Deal.
The Ohio Senator will spend

The President had asked for q
two-year extension of controls
but got only 10 months.
He pointed out that he hao
urged strengthening of the meas.

in the other direction"
The President declared that
"this bill was the target of every
favor seeking lobby of the special
interests in this election year."
At no point in the 1.200-word

Terms Of Agreement Between Tronsit
Company and Union. Poss Al


strikes the next three years, the
contract in its third year will cost
the company $2,375,000 in added
expenses.
Before that time the company
may be forced to ask the straight
20-cent fare, a spokesman pre-
| ldicted.
The contract, ratified 1922 to
318, at a union membership meet
ing early today. provides for an
immediate scent wage boost, an
additional S cents plus cents
fringe benefits November l.,
another S cents July l.. 1858, and
5 cents more July l, 1854. with 2
cents more in fringes.
Experts Figuring Up Needs.
Next week the company will
take to the Public Utilities Com
mission a petition for a II or IS
cent fare. Experts are working
now on the minimum increase
they believe the company can ask
and still meet additional operat-
ing expenses of $1,235, 900. This is
the amount the new contract will
be costing by November /.
Before the new contract was
signed. the company was prepared
to ask PUG for a straight l5-cent
fare, eliminating $2.1O weekly
passes and 3-for-40 cent tokens.
Now this petition, scheduled for
hearing next Monday will be
amended to the II or Is cent fig
|ure. PUG is expected to allow
the company additional new rev.
enue to Offset the higher payroll.
Next spring Capital Transit will
determine whether fares in force
then will be adequate to absorb
the scent wage increase of July
i. 1858. If not. it will ask for
another fare boost.
The same procedure will be re-
peated in connection with the 1854
increases.
Younger Members Oppose Pact.
Although the final union vote
was decisive. some Of the younger
members opposed adoption Of the
contract. AS the cry of strike"
went up, older members took
charge Of the meeting and talked
for the settlement. It took an
hour and IS minutes for them to
win their point.
