TWO
Dewey Mum On
Question of Aid
To West Ya. Solon
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 20-i.Vt
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey travels
to New York todav lor a speech
there tonight n'fl keeping his
own counsel about helping out
in an important senatorial race.
The senatorial race is in West
Virginia. There the Republican
incumbant, Senator Chapman He
vercomb. Is in what the GOP
leadership regards as a close con
test with his Democratic oppo
nent, iormer Senator Matthew
Neeley.
Dewey, throughout this cam
paign, has been concentrating on
states where the Senate races
are nip and tuck in an effort
to maintain GOP control of the
Senate. The Republicans now
have only a six-vote margin 51
seats to the Democrats' 45.
But with less than two weeks
remaining before the Nov. 2 elec-
tion, Dewey still has given no
Indication whether he plans to
lend Revcrcomb a hand.
Some of Dewey's aides say the
act Revercomb refused to coop
erate with the GOP Presidential
candidate during the August spe
cial session of Congress has had
no bearing on Dewey's considera
tion of whether to go into West
Virginia. They say it's a matter
of schedule making and nothing
else.
During the special session Dew
ey asked Revercomb, chairman
of a key Senate subcommittee, to
go along on revision of a law
providing for admission of Euro
pean reiugees 10 mis cuumiy.
The law has bten criticized as
discriminatory against Jews and
Catholics.
Revercomb refused, saying It
was a matter that should riot be
handled In haste at a special
session. Dewey has been reported
to be liked at Revcrcomb ior
that reason.

Commies Heavy
Losers in French
National Election
PARIS, Oct. 19 (.ll The new
Council of the Republic, Krance'a
Upper House, is going to take a
aharp swing to the right.
Figures complied today from
Sunday's election indicated that
ieflists and near leftists will have
about 130 members of the .120 in
the assembly, compared with ilia
in the old one still in existence.
Pightist parties and rightist in
dependents will have the balance
of about 190, compared with ap
proximately fa last time. In the
current assembly are a few who
defy classification.
These figures are based on
what the electors who were cho
sen Sunday may be expected to
do when, on Nov. 7, they set
about choosing the members; of
the council of the Republic.
Greatest losers will be the
Communists and the Catholic
Popular Republicans.
But It should he pointed out
that this does not represent exact
ly the atrength of the various
parties In Fiance. Tn the selec
tion of members of the Council
of the Republic, the voting is
weighted In favor of the country
districts, where Conservatives are
stronger, and against the big
cities, where Communists and
leftists generally are stronger.
In turn the greatest gainers in
the election will be Da Caullists
and the so-called Radical So
cialists, who are nut Socialists
but are, in fact. Conservatives.
