Dewey Praises
Senate Action
On Air Force
MED FORD, Ore.. May 7 -)
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey tonight
praised the senate for its action
ta approving a 70-croup air force,
and overruling "men of little
vision.
He .rapped tha administration,
aaying it was permitting the na
tion to appear so week "that
dictators feel oar soldiers can be
pushed around and shot in the
back."
"Our national government is
warning us in the gravest terms
of warlike conditions," be said
in an address delivered at the
armory. "Strange submarines are
reported by the government off
Alaska, off the Atlantic coast,
and off the shores of California.
The Russians have been threat
ening to throw us out or bully
us out of Berlin.
"Under all these conditions our
government should be doing
something to halt the tide. The
fact is that our national admin
istration has made almost every
possible blunder and we ought to
get rid of it at the first possible
moment"
Praises Cengresa
He praised the congress for op
posing a smaller air force.
"It is clear," he declared, "that
we must start immediately to
build up our military strength by
whatever means are necessary in
order to protect America.
"Most of All. we must create an
air force jyhich is the most power
ful striking force In the world.
The senate voted to do Just that
job and we can sleep better at
night because they have overruled
the men of little vision in our na
tional administration."
"It is incredible but true," he
said, "that the American enter-,
prise system and, in fact, the
whole American nation finds it
self for the first time in our history
on the defensive."
SUp Apologising'
The antidote, Dewey declared,
is to "stop apologizing for our
selves," and reassume the moral
leadership the world expects.
The "Dewey luck" failed this
morning for the first time in a
week of rainy campaigning as he
talked outdoors in a downpour at
Myrtle Point. Heretofore the
weeping skies have closed up Just
long enough for him to speak.
An estimated 750 persons half
the total population of Myrtle
Point stood in the rain to hear
him. Like many other crowds
along the way, it had begun form
ing in the wet as much as two
hours before arrival time.
