York Next Week-Dewey | Returns Albany Sunday | | \' 1 (By The Associated Press) Washington Democrats lined upl a 250-car motorcade to hail Pres- ident Truman's return today as his home-state Republicans readied greetings to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, | campaigning eastward through Mis- souri. Scme 10,000 members of the Tru- man-Barkley club were on when Mr. Truman’s special hand | train | rolled into the capital’s union sta- | tion to end a 9,000-mile vote hunt | that carried him to the Pacific| coast. Next week the President turns| the campaign table on Dewey by carrying his drive to win a White House lease extension into the GOP candidate’s home state of New York. | Dewey’s Campaign Dewey is due to return home Sunday night. says his foreign affairs -adviser, John Foster, Dulles, was. .flying to Albany for a special - conference with the New York Governor. With elections one month away, both men wound up their current campaigns with major talks last night summarizing the points they have presented ‘to date. Leaders Talk The GOP campaign theme has been “unity,” and Mr. voters in Charleston, W. Va., they can “achieve unity,” in the Re- publican sense by electing a GOP | President and Congress who, he| said, would take them on a “head- | long dash toward another de- pression.” ! Dewey, speaking in Cheyenne, | Wyo., lashed out at the Truman administration as he stressed ms unity-for-peace theme. Chacge Is Made Civilization, he said, is faced with the task of finding its way “out of a wilderness of confusion made by men not equal to respon- sibilities forced on them by his- tory. “It is a sorry thing that integ- rity and thrift and knowledge—vir- tues long honored in our country —should be so badly needed in our nation’s capital.” Dewey called anew for unity in this country at a time when “world Communism is on the merch.” Warren For Unity Dewey’s running-mate, Gov. Earl ‘Warren, also sounded the strength- titvough-unity plea. The Califor- nian told a Philadelphia rally: “I am not one of those who believe | a third world war in inevitable in the foreseeable future. I believe this country can do much to pre- vent it.” A somewhat different view was expressed last night by Progressive Presidential candidate Henry A. Wallace. He told a Hollywood group he doubts that this country ever will win friends by shewing other peoples how “well dressed and well fed and complacent” Americans are. Wallace In California Wallace opened a week of in- tensive campaigning in California by blasting film companies and the Un-American Activities Commit- tee. The House group, he declar- ed, iy setting the “intellectual standards” for the movie industry. Such a situation, ‘Wallace said. makes it hard to produce pictures with integrity.
