Dewey and Warren
To Confer Tomorrow;
Fear Overconfidence
By A»ectot*d Br*»«
PAWLING, N. Y., June 28.—Gov.
Dewey and his running mate, Gov.
Earl Warren of California, today
were arranging an early conference
to kill a widespread belief among
Republicans that the Presidential
election is a GOP walkaway.
The Republican presidential and
vice presidential nominees are ex
pected to meet tomorrow at Dewey’s
farm here. Gov. Warren, accom
panied by his family, was visiting
in New York City today.
The New York Governor will can
vass "extensively” with Gov. Warren
"the problems of the campaign,” a
Dewey aide said.
Will Chart Campaign.
High on the list of problems is
how to choke off the air of over
confidence that the Dewey forces
feel too many members of the party
have been inhaling giddily.
At their conference, it is under
stood, Gov. Dewey and Gov. War
ren will chart a vigorous campaign
that will take them across the
country several times.
The New York Governor's policy
always has been not to count the
game won until the final inning is
played. Warren feels the same way.
In his 1946 campaign for re-elec
tion as Governor the New Yorker
knew weeks before the balloting,
through privately conducted polls,
that he would beat the Democratic
nominee, James M. Mead, then a
Senator. His workers, too, sensed
an easy victory, and were inclined
to ease off.
Other Job* at Stake.
But Gov. Dewey directed his top
campaign aides to combat the ten
dency. They did—and the Governor
won by a record majority.
It was pointed out here that the
Republicans face the job not only
of winning the presidency and vice
presidency, but of defeating the
opposition in contests for Senate
and House seats and for myriad
State and local offices.
Gov. Dewey continued to take it
easy today at his farm on Quaker
Hill Just outside this village. But
he had some work to do, including
consideration of appointments to
State offices which he must make
soon.
The Governor and his family at
tended services yesterday in Christ
Church on Quaker Hill. The church
is interdenominational in character.
The Deweys were 15 minutes late
but Dr. Ralph C. Lankier, a Pres
byterian minister of Cortland, N.
Y„ delayed the services until they
arrived.
Gov. Dewey napped in the after
noon and his wife nursed a cold.
Warren Relaxes in New York.
Meanwhile in New York, Gov.
Warren relaxed as his family took
in the sights of the big city.
He arrived by train from Phila
delphia yesterday, with Airs. War
ren and their three daughters—
Virginia, 19; Dorothy, 17, and Nina
Elizabeth, 14.
Outside of talking with Gov.
Dewey, the vice presidential nomi
nee said, he had "no other reason
to be here, except that New York
is always a magnet for those of us
who live in the West."
Gov. Warren said he expects to
return to Sacramento in about a
week, although his daughters—with
Broadway shows on their minds—
are anxious to prolong the New
York visit.
The Governor said one thing he
wanted was a good sleep. He retired
early Saturday night in Philadelphia
for his first real night’s sleep since
the Republican Convention started
last Monday.
After the convention closed Gov.
Warren was kept busy in Phila
delphia for two days setting in mo
tion the preliminary business of his
campaign.
Before leaving for New- York the
Warren family made a point of
Visiting Independence Hall.
"Every American citien should see
the place where the Declaration of
Independence, the Bill of Rights and
the Constitution were signed,” Gov.
Warren said.
G. 0. P. Campaign Plans
Await Scott's Vacation
PHILADELPHIA, June 28 m.—
Representative Scott of Pennsylva
nia, newly appointed Republican
National Chairman, said last night
he will not map plans for the GOP
presidential campaign until he re
turns from vacation in about three
weeks.
Upon his return he will confer
with Herbert Brownell of New York,
campaign manager for Gov. Dewey
and Gov. Warren.
Before leaving for a vacation in
New England, Representative Scott
said he will attend a reception in
Washington to meet staff members
Of the Republican committee.
"I conferred with Mr. Brownell
before he left for New York yester
day," Representative Scott said,
"but we did not reach any agree
ment on plans for the campaign. We
are both aiming to leave this week
lor vacations.
"Under resolutions passed by the
Republican National Committee on
Saturday, I have been authorized to
name a general counsel and assistant
chairman and campaign assistants.
There has been no decision as to
who will be named for these posts.
"Before his departure for New
York Gov. Dewey told me 'you are
now running the campaign and you
are on your own.’ I assume that
national headquarters will be con
tinued in Washington, but no plans
have been made for the opening of
a Campaign Committee main office,
from which Mr. Brownell will oper
ate. For the present time the mem
bers of the National Committee staff
will remain undisturbed.”

Vandenberg Declares
Convention Met His
Wishes, Lauds Dewey
By Joy G. Hayden
North American Newspaper Allianco
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan,
who was Gov. Dewey's biggest pre
nomination worry and is likely to
be even more so if and when Mr.
Dew'ey forms a cabinet, says the ’
convention result ‘‘answers every,
wish that took me to Philadelphia.”!
‘‘I shall enthusiactically support
the ticket,” he said yesterday.
“Gov. Dewey brings to the Presi- j
dency the finest administrative i
genius that has been developed in
contemporary public service. It will
prove a great national asset in clean
ing house.
"Gov. Warren brings to the Vice
Presidency an equally proven capa-i
city for vigorous efficiency. He is:
every inch a man of Presidential
| stature.
Praises Platform.
“Both of these nominees stand
four-square on the best platform
we have had in many years. I can
not overestimate the sturdy work of
Senator Lodge as chairman of the
Platform Committee in this respect.;
ine pianorm unequivocally com
mits the new Republican adminis
tration to the kind of foreign policy
which I believe to be indispensable
to honorable peace for us, and
others. It welcomes international
co-operation. But it spurns ap
peasement. It promises a continua
tion of support for the United Na
tions. But it points the way to in
creased vitality for the United Na
tions along the general lines of the
recent Senate resolution which I
had the privilege of sponsoring.
"It strongly sustains the European
Recovery Program to our peace
loving friends who seek to preserve!
their independence through their;
own self-help and mutual aid. But;
it rightly emphasizes the fact that i
our foreign aid must always be
measured within the prudent limits 1
of our own economic welfare.
Reflects Own Efforts,
"This is an accurate reflection of
every effort I have been trying to |
| make in such contribution to bi-j
partisan foreign policy as I have
been permitted to participate.
I “It is now the official party policy
: by unanimous endorsement. It is
now personified by national nom
inees who have long supported these
objectives.”
Of his own somewhat anomalous
part in the convention proceedings.
Senator Vandenberg said:
"I said a year ago that I thought
I could best serve my country by
completing my Senate tenure as
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee. Six months ago I re
quested Michigan to neither present
nor support my name for the pres-j
idential nomination. I also had to!
say that a spontaneous draft could;
not be denied nor was it to be ex
pected. That continued to be my;
attitude at Philadelphia.
Pressure on Dewey Seen.
"I am everlastingly grateful to
those who insisted upon voting for
me because of the confidence thus
expressed. But I think it is far
better, particularly at my age, that
the nomination should be in other
hands. I am entirely content with1
the result.”
Senator Vandenberg does not
hanker for the secretaryship of:
1 state any more than he did for
the Presidency. The general as
sumption has been that John Fos
ter Dulles is slated for the State
portfolio and Senator Vandenberg
and Mr. Dulles are close friends, j
But there certainly will be great
pressure upon Mr. Dewey to offer
Senator Vandenberg the secretary-;
ship of state, and it is doubtful
both whether Gov. Dewey can afford
not to do so and whether Senator
Vandenberg could feel that he could
decline.
While the isolationists were
soundly drubbed at Philadelphia,
they still control about half of the
Republican membership of the Sen
ate and an ever-larger proportion
of Republicans in the House. Gov.
Dewey is going to be dependent on
Democratic votes to carry out the
foreign policy to which the Repub
lican Party now is committed. And
Senator Vandenberg, because he
has been the indispensable factor
in securing Republican support of
'this policy for President Truman,
is the one man who can convincingly
ask the Democrats to reciprocate.

California Democrats
Adopt 'Wait-and-See'
Convention Attitude
By th# Associated Press
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.. June
28—California’s National Demo

dart “as a Truman delegation,” but
‘will see what happens at Phila
delphia” That’s the course an
nounced by Its newly elected chair-I
man, John F. Shelley, San Francisco
labor leader.
James Roosevelt of Beverly Hills,
described by some in the past as
lukewarm toward President Tru
man’s nomination, was elected na
tional committeeman. Elinor R

State's delegation organized yester

Sign Standard Pledge.
The 62 delegates all signed the
standard party pledge of support
for President Tinman as the party’s
1948 candidate. Mr. Shelley said,
however, that they decided to have
a, caucus in Philadelphia on an^
question that might arise.
They “will see what happens" at
the convention there, “according to
conditions at that time,” he reported.
In private conversations, they are
known to have discussed a possible
draft of Gen. Eisenhower for Presi
dent.
Mr. Roosevelt told newsmen that
Mr. Shelley, president of the Cali
fornia AFL. was nominated after
only 20 minutes' discussion. Mr.
Roosevelt proposed him. District
Attorney Edmund Brown of San
Francisco nominated Mr. Roosevelt,
for the national committee post.j
succeeding Edwin Pauley, resigned.!

Representative Helen Gahagan
Douglas said California’s Gov. Earl
Warren, the Republican vice presi

he stands for everything and does
nothing. He's an unknown quality.”
She applauded President Tru
man’s label for the present Repub
lican Congress—the “second worst
in history.”
Wisconsin Democrats
Call for Eisenhower
MADISON, Wis., June 28 (JP).—
rhe Wisconsin Democratic conven
tion broke up amid shouts of “We
scant Eisenhower" yesterday after
failing to make a specific indorse
ment of President Truman.
The two-day meeting of 400 dele
gates ended in discord when Chair
man Leland McParland ruled a mo
tion to adjourn had been passed
before introduction of the Eisen
hower question.
Delegates who wanted to act on
the resolution calling for a draft
of Gen. Eisenhower hooted and
shouted when Mr. McParland put
the adjournment motion before the
convention.
The chairman asked all those fa
voring adjournment to answer aye.
But failed to call a nay vote. He
ruled the convention adjourned
while delegates crowded around the
platform and objected loudly.
Before the. draft-Eisenhower mo
tion, the convention passed a reso
lution praising the administrations
of the late President Roosevelt and
of President Truman. The motion
made no specific indorsement of
President Truman.
However, all but one of the State’s
28 delegates to the national conven
tion were elected last spring on a
Truman-for-President plank.
McGrath Says Grundy
Dictated Choice of
Dewey and Scott
Charges that “high tariff 4oving”
Joseph R. Grundy, former Senator
from Pennsylvania, controlled the
Republican selections of a presi
dential nominee and a national
chairman came last night from
Democratic National Committee
Chairman McGrath.
Senator McGrath also assailed the
GOP platform for ''omissions” con
cerning reciprocal trade agreements
and backing legislative commit
ments with appropriations.
Mr. Grundy, reached at his Bris
tol, Pa., farm by the Associated
Press, refused to comment on the
McGrath charges. v
Still In Control, He Says.
"Joe Grundy can still dictate the
choice of a Republican convention
In a series of ‘smoke-fllled room'
deals,” the Democratic campaign
chief charged. "Grundy can still
control the choice of chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee.”
The new GOP chairman is Rep
resentative Hugh D. Scott, jr„ of
Pennsylvania.
Senator MpGrath said the “majpr
deal" at. the GOP convention was
"Grundy's victory • * • swinging
Pennsylvania" to Thomas E. Dewey
for the presidential nomination.
Asserting that a “qualified state
ment in favor of reciprocal trade
agreements" and encouragement of
world commerce was scratched out
of the tentative Republican plat
form. Senator McGrath said this
was “the first of Joe Grundy’s high
tariff victories at the convention.”
Points to Friends for Aid.
Senator McGrath also assailed
omission from the Republican plat
form of a promise to back up
legislative commitments with ap
propriations as serving notice that
the Republicans approved efforts by
Chairman Taber of the House Ap
propriations Committee and House
Speaker Martin “to welsh on our
European recovery promise by with
holding appropriations."

Philadelphia Shifting
To Donkey Motif for
Democrat Convention
ly th» Auociatad fr*M
PHILADELPHIA, June 18.—Phil
adelphian! shook the last bit of Re
publican confetti from their hair to
day and began preparing for their
next political party—the Democratic
national Convention starting July 12.
Although the Democrats do not
officially open their sessions for two
weeks, the ground work has been
under way for some time. '
The changeover from elephant
theme to donkey motif is noticeable
throughout the city. Hotels, res
taurant and night spots are rear
ranging their decorations to meet
the occasion.
The most commonly seen signs
however, will remain intact. These
read merely—“welcome delegates.”
Vanguard on Hand.
The city’s huge Convention Hall
site of the recent GOP nominating
sessions—was being given a thorough
cleaning today by workmen who
were granted a week-end holiday
after the close of the Republican
convention last Friday.
Leading the Democrats’ vanguard
is Mrs. Dorothy Vredenburgh, sec
retary of the Democratic National
Committee, "who has been here for
several weeks.
Mrs. Vredenburgh and her co
workers were confined to limited
hotel quarters during the Republi
can convention.
Today, she and her staff made
! arrangements to move into the hotel
! suites being vacated by the GOP
hieh command.
Hotel rooms we expected to be
at as great a premium during the
Democratic convention as they were
last week. There will be 3,192 Dem
ocratic delegates and alternates
while the Republicans totaled 2,188.
Elks Meet Next Week.
And next week, while the advance
Democratic contingents are trickling
! into town, there will be another con
tention in session.
The eight-day national conven
tion of the Benevolent and Protec
jtlve Order of Elks opens next Fri
|dav, with nearly 30,000 members of
'the organization, their wives and
families descending on Philadelphia.
: The Democrats’ pre-convention
1 calendar calls for a meeting of the
National Committee July.,9. Seven
members of President Truman’s
cabinet are expected to attend, as
well as Senator Barkley of Ken
tucky, the convention keynoter.
Before Democratic National
Chairman J. Howard McGrath, Sen
ator from Rhode Island, brings the
convention to order at 1:30 p.m.
I July * 12, the National Committee
will attempt to unravel any delegate
seating contests.
The Platform Committee also will
be in pre-convention session—and
there will be a round of tours, par
ties, dinners and meetings.
Boy Follows Dog to Death
In Collapse of Excavation
SCOTTSBLUFF, Nebr., June 28 —
A pet dog led his 11-year-old master
to death In a cave-in yesterday.
Joseph P. McGuire, Jr., was
smotheredr to death, and his 8
year-old brother Dennis narrowly
escaped when a basement excava
tion caved in on them.
Dennis, buried two hours, escaped
because he had an air pocket to
keep him from suffocating.
Dennis told Deputy Sheriff Steve
Warrick they were riding on their
bicycles when they noticed their
dog digging in the excavation. They
went to "help him dig” and shortly
thereafter the dirt wall caved iri
on them.
After a two-hour search, Joe
Miller saw Dennis’ arm extended
from the dirt and the boys were
uncovered. The dog also was smoth
ered. _
