Dewey Continues New Deal Attacks Policy Os Foreign Affairs Assailed Aboard Dewey Campaign Train. Oct. 17— (Up)—Gov Thomas E Dewey added today to his charge of Roosevelt administration fall'ires at home an accusation that its conduct ot foreign affairs also suffers from “constant bickering, quarreling and back-biting" and tnlernal dissension. The Republican presidential nominee, speaking last night on a nationwide rod'fe hookup from St. Louis. said the failures he complained of abroad could be traced to the same condition* which lias made Roosevelt administration's record at home "one long chapter of failure." "For 12 years the new deal has treated us to constant bickering, quarreling and back biting by the moot spectacular collection of incompetent people who ever held office," Dewey charged “We must not trust our future to such people as Marry Hopkins. Madame Perkins, and Harold L. Ickes. Certainly America can do better. I propose that We will do bet tar." It was a fighting speech with which the New York governor made his bid for the support of border-state Missouri — home of Democratic vice-presidential nominee Harry 8. Truman — in the November election. He charged that "the new deal has been taken over by the combination of corrupt big city bosses. communists and fellow travelers." He renewed and elaborated hi* charge that “the new deal has been afraid all along that when the time came to let men out of the army there would be no Jobs (or them." Thia response to the White House disavowal of “unauthorltative" his previous quotation of selective service director Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey on the subject of demobilisation. Dewey contented Hershey got the Idea from "a report made public last year by Mr Roosevelt himself." Dewey Identified It as the report of a conference on post war readjustment of civilian and mill tary personnel, said It was submitted by Mr. Roosevelt's own Uncle Frederick A. Delano." and quoted It as saying : "Despite compelling reasons for rapid military demobilisation, the prospects of economic and industrial dislocation at the close of tge ware are so grave and the social consequences so far-reach-ing that a policy of orderly, gradual. and if necessary, delayed military demobilization has iiecn strongly advocated." The crowd estimated at I'l.tmo which packed Kiel Auditorium lov>d It. When he asked whether postwar period must tiring a return of "leaf raking and doles." and the W. P. A. his audience shouted a vehement "no." They booed the mention of Hopkins. Perkins and Ickes. Itewey levelled his attack on the conduct of foreign affairs as his response to the argument that the Roosevelt administration must Im* continued in office because "its foreign policies are very good."

GERMANS STIFFENING >c«eii»Mu rtu* rags ti During a It-hour period yesterday. they poured 1.000 rounds of shells into the forward lines along the main highway leading north from Florence, where the main Am erican forces were concentrated In the thrust toward Bologna. The heavy enemy defense through the precipitous terrain narrowed the American gains to a matter of yards in some sectors. British armored forces driving north toward the highway captured Monte Romano, a high feature three mile* south of Cesena, and held It against strong German counterattack*. Fighting continued, however, In the vicinity of Monte Meal*, one mile southwest ot Monte Romano. On the coastal .vector, Greek patrols crossed the Fiumicino river and headquarters said it seemed unlikely the Germans would continue trying to hold the river line, which rapidly was becoming out of alignment with the rest of their front.

Russian Proposal On Voting Opposed Oppose Veto Power Over League Action Washington, Oct. 17 — (UP) — Ninety-six org.nlsationg, representing a cross section of American life, have mad.- plain to slate department officials that the public la opposed to any voting procedure In the n*-w world security council that would allow one of the big powers to vote on an i<Mue involving itself. This was learned today from delegatee who attended the state department’o opening meeting of a campaign to promote ptdbllc discussion of the Dumbarton Oaks proposal far a new world peac? organization Undersecretary ot state Edward R. Stetttnius. Jr . and other members of the Amerkwu delegation which formulated the proposals met for two hours yrot-rday with rep rv-ientatives of the M crganlaa’fons which covered lawyers, labor, business. farmers. chucchM racial and civic groups veterans, and organization* interested In world necurtty. The meeting was not public, but aorn. delegates revealed later that the most critical questions pertain-

ed to the Eluaslan propoMl that a permanent metrflx-r of the security council —one of the Big powers—•ihoutd have a vote power over collective action, even If the action were against Itself. There has never beeft any doubt how the «<ate department and the American delgatlon stand* on that Uaue. The American legal e/otem Is built M the theory that the acctxsed ehall not alt on the Jury But oom/of the participants in yesterday’s meeting were understood to have sought aaeuraneps that the United Rtatw wHI continue to preaa for Its viewpoint. The voting procedure ot the council is the major remaining unfinished business of the Dumbarton Oaks conference. The four powers have agreed that economic, diplomatic and military sanctions should be Imposed only on majority vote of the 11 nation council, provided the majority always includes all permanent members — the United States. Great Britain. Soviet Russia. China and eventually France. Complete agreement on that section bogged down when the Russians insisted that that procedure should also prevail even through one of the permanent members was a party to the dispute being considered. The Russian attitude on this point was set forth clearly in the latest iwue of the Soviet Embassy's Information bulletin which said: 'The adoption of this proposal
