DEWEY SWINGS | Given Diploma - AT PRESIDENT

Governor Sounding More - And More Like 1944 Candidate.

By Scripps-Howard ‘Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 9.—Governor Dewey ed to be talking very much like 'a candidate when|| he went out of his way to denounce the administration and its proposals for a federal ballot for soldiers in his message to the New York legislature outlining a plan for state ballots. He backed up the “states’ rights” position of a majority of his party in congress and of southern Demo- ~ crats against that of President “ Roosevelt and, incidentally, of Wendell L. Willkie.

What cheered Republicans most ‘was the governor's vigorous language when he swapped epithets with President Roosevelt, the old epithet master, Governor Dewey called the federal ballot “a blank piece of paper,” as against the term “fraud” which Mr. Roosevelt applied to the original state ballét bill

'FEAR' GROWING, WILLKIE SAYS

Contends.

CONCORD, N. H.,, March 9 (U. P,) —Wendell L. Willkie said today that fear of the future is growing throughout the country and that it can be eliminated only bya lesSening of government control over economic and social life and a restoration of individual self-re-liance. In a speech prepared for delivery at a luncheon meeting of the New Hampshire Good Roads association, Willkie said he was “reluctantly” forced to agree with the conclusion of a magazine article by Bernard de Voto, educator, that “America is afraid of the future, afraid of peace.”

Cites Cause of Fear

The principal cause of this fear, he said, was “the loss in the past decade of our self-reliance.” “Frightened by the panic of 1929 and. discouraged by the depression that followed,” Willkie said, “as a people we turned to government for help. For 11 years—half a generation—instead of leading us to the| solution of eur own problems, gov-| ernment has paternalistically tried

to solve our problems for us.” | | Government failed in this, he) ; said, despite the acquisition of un.precedented power, and, “remem- | bering our own failures in the "20's

jand our government's failure to

| solve our problems in the "30's, we coming

{almost fear to face t 'days of peace.” | “The nation that has become the iarsenal of democracy, the production wonder of the world,” Willkie ‘said, “hesitates and doubts itsiown capacity.”

Two Schools of Thought { Some men, he said, would release | American economic life from any federal regulation. The same group, he said, believes the United States !is strong enough to make co-oper-jation with other nations, “except in pious platitudes,” unnecessary. {| Another school of thinking, “to {which the present administration ‘apparently belongs,” would give the ‘federal government even greater ‘control and use American power in “the muddy game of international politics,” he said.

“There are some of us, however,”|

| Willkie said, “who believe that .either of these attitudes represents a solution. For we know <hat in a complex modern industrial life, the federal government, operating by law and not by caprice, must exercise regulatory authority to in‘sure the freedom of our citizens.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘Goon Gun,’ Weird, Deadly

Weapon, Earns Nazi Respect

WASHINGTON, March 8 (U.P). —A “goon gun”—a newly perfected 4.2-inch mortar that has earned “the admiration of American forces and the fear of the enemy”—has been added to the army’s store of weird, but deadly new weapons. The war department disclosed today that the new weapon was first used in the invasion of Sicily. It is now in use in every major theater. The “goon gun” looks like a stove-

.pipe, supported on a T-square, but

it can lob a score of 24-pound shells two and one-half miles in 60 seconds, knock out a German 88 mm. plece, or in a pinch lay an effective and lasting smokescreen. ‘In addition,” the war department said, “concentrations of white phosphorus shells fired from them spread flaming particles of phosphorus which uproot the enemy from underground positions and react with the air to form clouds of non-toxic artificial fog which cover infantry assaults, blind enemy

armored formations and screen amphibious operations.” - Its accuracy was demonstrated when one mortar unit in Italy dropped a round right into the open turret of a German tank. Its power was amply shown when another unit, firing 12 rounds, knocked out a battery of German “88's,” oute weighing it 30 times and having four times. its range. Added to all these qualities, the “goon gun” is comparatively light. Weighing less than 300 pounds, i¥ can, when dismantled, be carried by its crew and thus be brought into action in terrain where heavier artillery cannot penetrate.
