TRUMAN SAYS MOSCOW RADIO HURLING SLANDERS AT HIM
(Rec. 10.40 a.m.) NEW YORK, October 11
President Truman, speaking at Ohio, told his audience that he would much rather have world peace than be President.' He asserted that his administration had fought Communism at home and abroad so vigorously that the Russian radio hurled slanders at him daily. The President’s opponent, Mr T. E. Dewey, speaking at Pittsburgh, promised that if he were elected his administration would unfailingly back up the work of its own representatives in the United Nations for peace.
Mr Dewey promised that his administration would place firm supports under wages and raise the minimum wage, would extend unemployment and old age benefits, strengthen the labour conciliation service, and would “make sure that soaring prices do not steal food, clothing, and other necessities from American families.”
