effectively for peace, that he favors such domestic advances as collective bargaining for labor, social security and other recent gains, and that ‘there ‘isn't any argument about them. But, he is contending. the New Deal can provide no solution to the problems America will face when war ends because President Roosevelt “has offered no program for the peace-time years except the
straight years of peace from 1933 to 1940.”
“p Shocking Thing”
“It is a shocking thing that my opponent, after 12 years a President, felt compelled to announce as news, last Saturday night, that he believes in the enterprise system,” Governor Dewey said in Buffalo.\ “Yet in all his Gampaign speeches, my opponent has not indicated how he will achieve in post-war years Ww he so ‘tragically failed to achieve in prewar years.” Again he charged that undér Mr,
the nation’s unemployment problem, and said that while the President promised jobs for all. Americans when peace comes, his promise of jobs is worthless. It will still be worthless, of course, even though it is repeated again’ and again and again.”
Saterizes F.D, R. Pledge
Repeatedly, Mr. Dewey threw the phrase “again and again and again,” at Mr. Roosevelt—satire intended to recall the 1940 Roosevelt pledge that no American boys would be sent into-foreign wars— in charging that other Roosevelt promises were 16 good. Mr. Dewey is underlining the resentment of small business and
ten men and women under the New Deal"—and contending that “American businessmen know that the New Deal way of being mindful of their problems has been slowly to drown them with a rising flood of rules, regulations, questionnaires, reports and directives. ”

fhe fact is that for years we should have been building 1,000,000 homes a year just to get back up to the standards of 1940. But, under Mr. Roosevelt, we got an aver=age of only 380,000 homes a year.” All in all, Mr. Dewey contended that Pigsident Roosevelt to date “has offered no program for the} peace-time years ahead except: the same one which failed for eight straight years of, peace from 1933 to 940.” As an alternative, he outlined an eight-point program for the future which he promised a Republican victory in November would bring. He listed: ONE—Government Policies toward the goal of full employment through full production at a high level of wages for the worker and an incentive for the businessman to succeed.
TWO—A new ‘tax structure eliminating tax deductions from wages as low as $11 a week; reduced personal income tax. rates; lowered income tax on business; simplification of tax laws “and then stick to it over a period of years.”
THREE—Expansion . of social . security coverage to every American. ” .

Meanwhile, Mrs. Luallen is "being held on burglary charges in connection with’ her alleged complicity in the robberies for which her exhusband was sentenced to 10 years in prison here last April. A hearing was to be held in criminal court this afternoon on a petition for a habeas corpus writ, seeking Mrs, Luallen’s release from jail on bond.

Mr. Roosevelt's. advisers were increasingly confident of his victory, largely because of the reception given him in visits to New York,
felt that Mr. Roosevelt would carry New York and Pennsylvania and that with these states in the fourth term column, a Dewey. Victory would be virtually impossible. The President yesterday attempt‘led to remove one issue of the campaign by jesting away reports that contributors to the Democrats’ “Thousand Dollar Club” would have special influence in Washington. He said the idea:'of such a club started last summer. A group of people, he said, were talking with him—presumably about. party finafices—and he sald why not .start a “hundred thousand dollar club.” According to his version, the idea was laughed down, as was another suggestion for a “ten thousand dollar club.” The President said he then suggested a “thousand dollar club” and his conferees thought that might be of some help. And that, the President said, was the last he heard of it until ‘a gentleman from Chicago—Frank J. Lewis, president of the “Thousand Dollar Clubs”— saw him sometime later and gave hima certificate of membership. The President said he hadn't thought he was eligible but he had made his regular campaign contribution of $1000 to the Democratic party and got in turn the certificate of membership worth, as
