1 runiati Winding
Up His Blasts !
A l GOP “Unity”
(By The Associated Press)
The Presidential specials streak
down to home stretch as Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey followed Presi
dent Truman’s trail into the- big
cities hunting victory votes for
next Tuesday.
The Chicago stadium provided
the setting for both candidates
opening addresses in the final !
week of campaign oratory.
There last night Mr. Truman j
implied that a dictatorial form of ■
government might result from a
Republican victory in the Novem- !
ber 2 election.
There last night the GOP Pres
idential candidate discussed what
the three great elements of our
country: labor, business and agri
culture, have a right to expect
from their government.
Mr. Truman meanwhile was
headed for Cleveland for the sec- i
ond of the six major addresses !
that wind up his drive to retain
the Presidency.
The Democratic standard bearer
i told his Chicago audience the cam
paign is more than a battle be
tween two parties. It is a fight for
the very soul of the American gov
ernment, he said.
“In our own time," he added,
“we have seen the tragedy of the
• Italian and German peoples who
lost their freedom to men who
made promises of unity and effi
ciency and security”
“And, it could happen here,” Mr.
Truman said.
Everywhere I go, Mr. Truman
said, I hear news and see faces
that make me know the tide is
rolling for us.
I “We are sweeping toward vic
tory,” he confidently proclaimed.
Dewey was reported equally
| confident as he set out Monday
night for the windy city.
Following his Chicago speech
Dewey headed his special train
j for Cleveland. Boston and back to
New York for his final campaign
| talk Saturday night in Madison
Square Garden. I
Henry Wallace brought his Pro
gressive party drive back to New
York after a Jersey City speech in
which he urged that the United j
S ates and Russia abandon stiff
necked pride and quit their petty ,
jockeying for advantage in an
atomic race. j
In Arkansas Gov. J. Strom !
Thurmond said a national police'
force is already being trained by 1
President Truman to carry out an
epic law.
Senator Claude Pepper <D.-Fla.> ,
meanwhile predicted that if the
Presidential vole reaches 53,000,
000 a Democratic victory is pretty
certain and if it goes to 55,000,000
it is a certainty.
CIO president Philip Murray
said in a radio balk from Washing
ton Monday night that Dewey i
showed his contemp* and scorn for
the plain people of America by his
refusal to discuss the great issues.

MS. “Polar Bear’*
Ends Career
SEATTLE, (A’)—The Motorship
Polar Bear, proud veteran of
many an Artcic adventure, ended
her career in a final glory blaze
Friday.
She was set afire as scrap and
sank in 60 fathoms in Puget
Sound.
As the MacNita, the vessel once
was a supply ship in an Arctic
expedition of Vihljalmur Stefan
son.
Rechristened the Polar Bear in
1931 she broke into the news again
in 1932 when she rescued the party
of Father Bernard, "the Glacier
Priest," stranded on the Katmai
River in Alaska.
She went aground on a reef off
Kodiak Island in 1935. Her owner
Burt Legaza, went north to sal
vage her. He pulled her off the
rocks only to see her sink in deep
water. Two years later she was fi
nally raised again.
A fishing vessel in later years,
the Polar Bear finally suffered
the ignominy of becoming a barge, i
