Dewey, Warren Approve Indiana Rally Talks

Republican Nominees Agree To Appear In State During Campaign Governors Thomas E. Dewey and Earl Warren have promised to address a large political rally in Indiana late this summer, United States Senator Homer E. Capehart said last nght. Senator Capehart said the time and place for the Hoosier campaign appearance of the presidential and vice-presidential nominees would be worked out within the next two weeks. “Naturally a definite date and place will be up to Governor Dewey,” Senator Capehart said. “I am hoping he will accept an invitation to a rally on the site of the 1938 corrrfield conference on my farm near Washington.” “The same 400 acres is available and I believe we could again attract more than 100,000 people. The Republican party started on the road back there 10 years ago a natural place for another rally. This year those 400 acres are in clover and we think the Republican party is, too.” Senator Capehart, head of the Senate Campaign Committee, first issued an invitation to Dewey to speak'in Indiana just before the New York governor won the Republican nomination at Philadelphia. Dewey accepted tentatively and since has told reporters he has a “firm commitment” to appear in Indiana. Governor War-

ren also has indicated he will attend, Senate Capehart said. Paul Henrichs and Stanley Cheever are spending the week at the Curtin-Cheever cabin on the Kankakee river.

Mr. and Mrs. Shorts and son of Lafayette and Lt. and Mrs. Norman Holladay spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Holladay and daughter in Kersey. Mrs. Shorts is the former Dorothy Summers.
