G.O.P. Candidate To Launch Vote Drive In Corn Belt Where Truman Begins Western Tour Governor Thomas E. Dewey will touch k>ff his campaign for the presidency in lowa Sept. 20, just two days and a stone’s throw away from the launching of a Western tour by President Truman. The New York governor will make his first major speech since accepting the Republican nomination in Drake Stadium, Des Moines, on an unannounced subject. Mr. Truman will speak at Dexter, la., near Des Moines, Sept. 18. Herbert Brownell Jr., Dewey’s campaign manager, did ‘not disclose any further plans when he announced the Des Moines speech yesterday, but indications were the G.O.P. nominee would continue on to the West Coast.

While Governor Dewey made plans for his invasion of the plains states, his running mate, Governor Earl Warren of California, prepared for a tour of New England. The Massachusetts State Committee said the GOP vice-presi-dential nominee will campaign laio this month in Massachusetts, New Hampshire hiid Connecticut. While Brownell did not announce the subject of Dew >y’s Des Moines speech, the principal issues already were well outlined. Dewey approved in advance the f ITicial GOP reply President Truman’s Detroit Labor Day ad»:r« >s. delivered by Harold E. Stassen, so mer Governor of Minn< sota.' And he was expected to elaborate on i h of four principal issue? raised by Stassen then: The Taft-Hartley Label Act. high prices, Communism aind foreign policy.

Lay Welfare Cost Increase To Food Prices

Irate Taxpayers Told By G. G. That Grocery Store Is Answer To Their Tax Increase Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 8. Irate taxpayers who want to know why so much money is needed for public welfare at a time of high employment may find the answer at the grocery store. The Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, Security Department has concluded a survey entitled “Where Do We Go From Here?” —an appraisal of the Hoosier trend in public welfare and township relief programs. The survey found that inflation in food costs was the major factor contributing to the high annual public aid expenditures. That 129 per cent increase in the cost of food between 1939 and 1948 not only hits the wage earner; it also affects the aged, the blind and dependent children. The Chamber of Commerce investigators opined that there will not be any large decrease in the number of persons now receiving aid —107,393 in Indiana for the last month on which tabulations were complete. (May). Back in 1940, there were 489,159 persons receiving public aid. The Chamber reported: “Most persons who either want to work or are able to work are employed. It must be remembered that those on public assistance rolls by the very nature of their dependency—age, blindness, infirmity, illness—are in almost all infitances ‘unemployable.’ It is more likely—that baring war and the frenzied activity which accompanies it—small increases will continue to be recorded until such time as the Old Age and Survivors’ Insurance program becomes more fully effective and begins to provide for many of those persons who might otherwise be forced to depend on some type of public aid.” The Chamber of Commerce advocated that this federal old age and survivors insurance program, to which both wage earners and employers contribute, be extended to cover groups of workers now left out. These are the self-em-ployed, domestics, agricultural, governmental and several other groups. The report added that legislation at a state level could not greatly change the picture, and lauded the Indiana Welfare Act as “one of the better welfare | laws in the country.” However, | the Chamber of commerce survey | commented: “We are not in sympathy with
