Urges Bolters From Party to ‘Think Again’
Dewey Wants U. S. Grip on Atom Broken

= By United Press President Truman, whose political potshots have failed to get a rise out of Gov.. Thomas E. Dewey, aimed his criticism today at another presidential rival, Henry A, Wallace. Denouncing the new Progresgive Party as Communist-domi-nated, the’ President pleaded with *distyrbed liberals” to “think again—don't wast your vote.” It was the first time in his current campaign swing that Mr, Truman has admitted publicly that Mr. Wallace is a serious threat to his election hopes, As the President headed across
zona, Gov. Dewey moved toward Los Angeles where he was expected to discuss the threat of communism in a speech tonight at the Hollywood Bowl. Mr, Wallace was seeking to enlist support in the key state of Ohio. “Ducks the Issue”
Though Mr. Truman opened up on Mr, Wallace in California, where the third party is relatively strong, he did not abandon his attack on the GOP. He told a Los Angeles audience last night that the Republican Party is operating for “big business first.” And he accused Gov. Dewey by implication of “running away from the record” and “ducking the issues.” In -his own speech at Phoenix, Ariz., the GOP candidate insisted that “this is not a partisan cam= paign.” He said thé country “needs unity more than anything else in the world.” Mr. Dewey promised to put atomic energy under the development of private industry once the

Advisers Study Julietta Budget
An advigory committee on the Marion County Home at Julietta met yesterday at the Court House to study the institution's budget for 1949 and said it was “pleased with the progress ‘being made

Wallace said that ‘any peace that we can arrive at with Russia now would be better than any peace we could arrive at after another war.” At the same time, the Progressive Party standard bearer assured his audience that he does not “want Russia to dominate the United States in| any way.” Barkley—Sen. -Alben W, Barkley said the Republicans are, conducting a “flowers and honey” campaign because they feel it would not be to their advantage to get the voters stirred up over the GOP record on housing, inflation and other issues. The Democratic vice presidential nominee said in New York he is “very sure” the Republicans are not so “confident as they pretend.” Warren—Gov. Earl Warren attacked the Truman administration’s handling of foreign policy. Speaking in Columbus, ‘O., the GOP vice presidential candidate said the world is “unquestionably” farther from a just peace now than when the war ended. And he added that a major share of the blame for this rests on the “mistakes” of the Democratic administration. Mr. Truman, he said, has sometimes disregarded the fact that “a bi-partisan policy must be e a. two-way street.”
