Thomas Advocates Disarmament By DON SMITH Universal disarmament leading to international economic coopera tion is part of the price of a lasting peace, Norman Thomas told an au dience of more than 1000 students and townspeople last night in Mc Arthur court. “The people of the world are sick for lack of hope and an idea for peace,” the Socialist told the audi ence. “They don’t want war, but are fatalistically inclined to accept the inevitability of war.” One powerful voice is needed to wake the people out of their night mare. He called for the United United States, as the strongest na tion in the world today, to appeal for universal disarmament. International Inspection Necessary “The madness of competitive ar maments cannot go on,” Thomas declared. “We cannot get economic rehabilitation unless we place con flict on a different plane than that of mass destruction.” International inspection and con trol will be necessary, it was his be lief, if disarmament is to be effec tive. The Baruch plan for atomic control is satisfactory in most re spects, it was his opinion. Advocates DMT Abolition Abolition of universal military conscription on an international basis is also advocated by Thomas. "Since the time of Napoleon,” he recalled, "peace time conscription has never prevented war or guar anteed victory. It has hastened the coming of the totalitarian state, and World War I.” Forces for inernational use should be secured on a quota basis, Thomas believed.

Dewey by a wide margin to night in early returns from the Wisconsin presidential preference primary. - In scattered returns, 20 Stas sen-pledged delegates were ahead in the battle for the state’s 27 delegates to the Rcpubliean na tional convention. MacArthur had three delegates in Ihese early returns and Dewey was blanked. However, four races in Milwaukee county had not yet been reporter and returns still were too few to show a definite trend. There were 13 Siassen-pladgcd delegates leading in the 10 con gressional district contests. Stas sen also was leading in the voting for the seven delegates-at-large, with his high man about 5,000 votes ahead of MacArthur’s top man. In the voting for delegates at large, returns from 4647 of the state’s 3,138 precincts, showed that each of Stassen’s pledged convention candidates had more votes than any of the MacArthur or Dewey candidates.
