‘‘Utterly ridiculous:” retorted
Republican Senator Ferguson of

communism in America.”

heavy stress on world affairs in
his speeches yesterday in Spokane,
Wash., and Missoula, Mont.

“we stand shoulder to shoulder”
with American representatives at
the United Nations meeting in
Paris “laboring mightily against
great odds to bring about a peace
ful settlement even at this late
hour.”
“Peace today would be on firm
er ground,” Dewey said, “if those
who may be recklessly planning
war knew that—when there’s a
big job to be done—there is only
one kind of America.”
Mr. Truman told his Oklahoma
listeners that “this country is
strong enough to resist and over
come all the forces of commun
ism.”
“So long as the FBI and other
security agencies can do their job
without having the ground cut
from under them by committees of
Congress, we have little to fear
from spies and subversives,” the
President said.
Henry A. Wallace, the Progres
sive party’s Presidential candidate,
contiuued his attacks on U. S. for
eign policy. In a speech in Dallas,
Texas, last night he urged that a
fact-finding commission be set up
to investigate “these recurrent war
scares.”
The No. 2 Republican candi
date, Gov. Earl Warren, carried
his “unity” theme into New Jersey
today. He told a Hartford, Conn.,
rally last night that Americans
could stave off a “formidable”
threat c*f economic disaster by re
turning to the fundamentals of in
dustry, thrift and unity.

Democratic vice presidential nom
inee, pressed his ‘get-out-and-vote’
drive in New York State with two
