“politically speaking. The governors were highly ap-
preciative, and indicated as much, for Governor Dewey's gesture in calling them in and giving them an opportunity to let gown their hair about their particular political problems and grievances, They left here with a new injection of enthusiasm to gear up their state machines, fairly optimistic, but knowing that they face no easy job in beating President Roosevelt in November. They got generous promises from both their candidate and Herbert Brownell Jr, Republican national chairman, of co-operation from the national organization and, it was reparted, of the benefits that can be bestowed by the White House in the way of patronage and preferment if the Dewey-Bricker ticket is elected.
- Stumping Tour Planned
THEY LEARNED that they may expect to see more of their presidential candidate on their own home grounds, for the campaign plan includes a personal

from one end of the country to the other. Governor Dewey did not spare himself, He was up early and worked late, one night until 3 a. m., with the various sub-committees of governors drafting a program of federal-state relationships, all of which gave the governors an opportunity to visit with him

Between times Mr. Brownell talked with the governors, consulting them about their state situations, getting their advice. The political phase of the business here was concluded with a three-hour, free-for-all discussion with the candidate and the national chairman. .
Co-operation Stressed
POLITICS WAS the real object of the meeting, with the program of federal-state relationships more of an excuse, though it did give the candidate a broad view of varying local economic and social in the states and provided the background for a political Issue in decentralization of some federal functions. Nothing new developed here in this field. With one exception, the candidate and the governors agreed

“But even 30, the Republican campaign of 1898 was pitched upon the plane that we should not change the complexion of congress on account of the tendency of that step to weaken the hands of the peace commissioners.” Senator Jackson then cited the campaign speeches of the late Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, ex-Presidents: Theodore Roosevelt and Benjamin Harrison and the] then President William McKinley to support his contention that Republicans at that time opposed “changing horses.”
‘Quotes Beveridge
He quoted Senator Beveridge in an Indiana address as follows: “If the administration is defeated at the polls, will England believe we have accepted the results of the war? Will Gérmany be discouraged from interfering with our settlement of the war? Will Russia regard us as a steadfast people? The world is observing us today. What would the world say of America if the American people should rebuke ad-
From an address in New York, Oct. 5, 1808, Senator Jackson read the following from Theodore Roosevelt: “I should ask the people of this country to support the administration of President McKinley, if for no other reason than because, say what you will, the victory at the polis of the men who are opposing and denouncing his administration in this election will be interpreted abroad as meaning of the part of America, a repudiation of the war from which we have just emerged triumphant, It will result in partial! undoing of what our army and navy. have accomplished.” After reading these and other excerpts, Senator Jackson drew the conclusion: . “In the light of such illustrious precept and example from such unfailing authority, what Republican in 1944 can deny that it is the bounden duty of the Democratic party to point out to America that although we will win this war in any event, still, change now might, well prove to be the tragedy of this generation.” .

SUPER AIRPORT
Aviation Control.
The Indianapolis sub-committee on aviation yesterday turned thumbs down on proposals to sprinkle the city with small “residential” air strips, Instead, It recommended combining Weir Cook - airport with Stout field to develop a single aerial traffic and research center. : It appeared unlikely that proponents of “residential” landing field sites would accept the decision without protest. Almost certain to demur are local officials of the Oliver Parks air college of E. St. Louis who have established a branch at Hoosier airport for the purpose of promoting the small “airparks” idea. | Connecting Weir Cook airport and’ Stout field, under the “central depot” plan as recommended by the post-war planning committee, would be a 750-acre area which planners thought might be purchased for $300 an acre. Enough additional land would be acquired
Cook airport alone. All Weather Facilities
“One of the prime advantages of this plan,” the committee report stated, “is that it would concentrate the most modern up-to-date landing control facilities, permitting night landings and landings in all kinds of weather, for all types of planes. The disadvantage of undertaking to provide large numbers of smaller landing fields through-

Ostrom also cited the difficulty of obtaining citizen approval for small airstrip sites as another reason for favoring the centralization of aeronautical facilities. .

Other aviation subcommittee proposals: Zoning of the entire surrounding area of the combirfed ports for {aeronautical development, including ‘housing districts for personnel necs essary to man the station. Construction of a 10-minute vehicular traffic route between the landing district and the downtown district. Development of two or three auxiliary airports on the site for use by small planes, these ports to be provided all service available to the central depot proper, .

En Route to Home.
Republican leaders and admirers of Governor Thomas E. Dewey crowded around a special train at Union station last night, standing on tip-toe to shake hands and chat with the opponent of President Roosevelt in the November election, Pull of life and not a bit tired after three gruelling conferences in other states, Governor Dewey was en route to his Pawling farm in New York after attending the meeting of 26 governors in Bt. Louis. His seven-car special train pulled in at the Indianapolis station at 10:30 p. m. The governor talked Indians politics for awhile, then came down to the platform to chat for 15 more minutes with those who were eager to see & man who may be the next President of the United

He said he thought unity had {been brought to 26 states for the | first time through the conference of governors in St. Louis and that the, meeting was “highly constructive” since responsibility between fed- | eral, state and local governors was worked out. Mr. Dewey said he was confident that what had been discussed would bear constructive fruit during the!
campaign and in state post-war
planning. Pleased after their brief chat with the governor, the three Indiana Republican leaders heid high hopes that: Mr. Dewey would have the Hoosier state on his speaking itinerary, but said no decision had been made yet. “My general impression of the man is that he not only has the mental but also the physical qualities necessary to carry the presidential duties during the post-war ” Mr. Gates said.
Invited in Advaties -
It was not generally known the governor's train would make a 30minute stop here but several Indiana Republican leaders had been invited in advance by a personal telegram from, Mr, Dewey. “Happy hunting, Ralph,” was the greeting given Mr. Gates by the New York governor as his train began to move. After the train was out of sight, Mr. Gates gave the following impressions of the importance of the St.-Louis conference: “The conference of governors in St. Louis*produced a wealth of good, common horse-sense thinking, as we know it here in Indiana. ' I heartily subscribe to the decisions reached by the governors in their deliberations.

Some Johnnies have come marching proudly home again.to Indianapolis only to be greeted as John-nies-come-lately. Too late to share in that early civilian war era of good high-sal-aried jobs aplenty and no questions asked, a small but significant percentage of world war II veterans have watched their bed of roses dreams dissipate into red -tape nightmares. Letters. to The Times and ex-serv-icemen interviews indicate : that some discharged G. 1’s have been left stranded on an island of misdirection. True, in many instances, the dischargee strikes out haphaz-

Particularly critical comment has
stemmed from servicemen disgruntled over a recent magazine poll showing that 45 per cent of those queried believed that men should be retained in the armed forces until enough jobs are available. A third of the persons polled didn’t think veterans should necessarily be given preference on choice peace-time positions. In rebuital to these theories, an| Indianapolis army captain, now in Italy, acidly penned: “I realize that ‘all™ people. of our country weren't fortunate enough to meet our common enemy on the field of battle.
