The address, which will be broadcast at 10 p. m. (Indianapolis time) over N. B. C, will be a followup to last night's speech from St. Francisco when he promised, if elected, to find a middle road be-

«tween “New Deal regimentation”

and “a reactionary of dog-eat-dog” ‘to post-war jobs and security for all: without loss of personal or political freedom. A round of meetings with leaders, of the aircraft and motion picture industries, Jaboy orSanizetions. and political groups will precede the evening address. Dewey and his party were ac-

Earl Warren as they moved south into the populous Los Angeles area, which holds 40 per cent of the state's nearly 4,000,000 voters.

Makes Initial Bid

Dewey made his initial bid for California's 25 electoral votes last} and night before an overflow crowd of| 15,000 who jammed San Francisco's Civic auditorium to hear the G. O. P. nominee charge that the Roosevelt administration has “falled utterly” to solve the problem of political freedom and economic security. “Saturated as it is with the defeatist theory that America is past its, prime, the New Deal can see only two possibilities for America—everincreasing regimentation as one alternative, and reaction as the| other,” he charged. “It believes that economic security can only be pur-| chased at the price of Ireedom, “That argument is false. Our people do not want to see this country dragged further toward complete government control over every aspect of our lives. Neither do we want to go back to the reactionary philosophy of dog-eat-dog.” A Middle Ground There is a middle ground, Dewey insisted, which involves a limited amount of government intervention into the daily lives qf business,. industry and agricul

jously at the unintentional Rtmor of the remark, “I do not need to point out that our system then would be no different from communism or fascism.” As an alternative he proposed three principles of government action which he described as “the [exact opposite of the New Deal” He listed:

ONE: "Its objective must be not

to restrict individual economic op-|=

nity but to widen it.” TWO: “(It) must be administered by men and women who believe in and understand American workers, | American businessmen and American farmers.” THREE: “The role of government cannot be the purely negative one of correcting abuse, of telling people what they may or may not do.” Dewey said he recognized the danger of either “complete government regulation” or “coniplete reaction” in government intervention into the social and economic picture. He charged that the Roose velt administration in 12 years has failed to face the situation Confident of Stability “Instead,” he said, “it has sought to buy the favor of one group and|

We are not going back to leaf-raking and the dole. We are

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 (U. P.) ~The office of price admin-

istration announced yesterday that. non- -leather shoes with yubber soles “have been removed from the ration lst. OPA said, however, that the action would not release any considerable quantity of footwear from retailers’ shelves. All shoes containing leather— with or without rubber soles— are still rationed, OPA pointed out, adding that the new regu-~ lation merely permits manufacturers of .non-rationed canvas shoes to place rubber soles on their product. **
