Dewey has “seen fit” to speak out
on the subject last week.
The GOP Presidential nominee
—who also takes to the road to-;
night for his campaign windup— |
offered no immediate rejoiner.
But campaign manager Herbert I
Brownell, Jr., said Dewey simply
had complied with a request that
he re-state his support of the Re
publican platform plank in favor
of partition. Brownell added:
“It is regrettable that the Presi
dent is making politics of an issue
so important to the peace of the
world.”
Ross’ announcement that Mr.
Truman’s statement had been
cleared by the state department
followed a period of some uncer
tainty over how it squared with
secretary of state Marshall’s stand.
Marshall last month gave his
approval at the U. N. meeting in
Paris to a proposal for modifying
the 1947 partition plan. The sug
gested changes — drafted by the
late Count Bernadotte, U. N. me
diator in Palestine—came under
strong Jewish criticism.
Mr. Truman spent 14 hours back
at the White House yesterday after
his Pennsylvania swing, climaxed
by a Pittsburgh speech Saturday
night. The President likened
Dewey there to a doctor who says
i the American people neefl a ma
jjor operation even though they are
I “feeling fine . . . and never had a
! brighter future.”
Dewey’s aides said he will close
i out his campaign by holding to his
theme that a Reupblican victory
would be a unifying influence for
the country.
Henry Wallace, speaking from
Newark, N. J., last night, called
upon the United States, Russia and
i! Bri ain to pull their troops out of
i Germany and leave the occupation
chore to six “small” countries.
Wallace listed the six as France,
Belgium, the Netherlands. Luxem
bourg, Poland and Czechoslova
kia. He said:
“The time has come to change
Germany from a tinder box into
a neutral zone.”

and dozens of windows were

Phipps called it “obviously a

cruises by patrol cars.
The maritime deadlock entered
its 54th day with a second steam- j
ship company announcing the
closing of its Pacific Coast offices.
The Shepard line of New York
said it was turning its west coast
branch’s business over to an
agent. Last week the Alaska
Transportation company of Seat
tle, one of three major shippers to
Alaska, suspended its operations.

Neither would answer the ques

“Are you now, or have you ever

Both entered long »and heated
debates with the Congressmen in
a rambunctious session in which
two attorneys attempting to repre

Thirteen persons the Congress
men wished to question—including
Pres. Harry Bridges and four
other longshoremen’s union lead

After Kersten had announced
the recess of the originally sched

subordinates had planned to at

Previously, the union had de

a libel suit he filed against ship
owners. He declared that in their
answer to the suit, “they stater!
they are not claiming nor alleg

Bridges added that when the
suit goes to trial it will afford
“full opportunity for thorough in

of my public views.”
“In view of the above,” he said,
“don’t you think it fair you
should now ask shipowners to drop
