Dewey Twitting Truman With Spreading Fear
(N.Z.P.A.—Copyright.) NEW YORK, Oct 26 (Recd 6 pm).— Governor Thomas Dewey, Republican Presidential candidate, in the first of four major addresses which will wind up the election campaign, tonight at Chicago accused the Truman Administ ration of failing to win the peace because of its “appeasement one day and bluster the next.” Mr. Dewey said: “The present Administration has failed even more miserably at home. Now. faced with failure, with their party split in all directions, its candidates have spread fantastic fears among our neople.” Mr. Dewey accused Mr. Truman of reaching a “new low on mudslinging,” but said he himself would not indulge in such tactics. Mr. Dewey devoted most of his speech to a discussion of labour, business and agriculture. He said a Republican Administration would increase the soil conservation services, would continue price support of agricultural products, would encourage small business and enforce laws protecting people from the evils of business monopoly. Regarding labour he said that where any law could be made a better instrument for labour relations, “that will be done.”
