'I believe that Americans Aboard Dewey Campaign Train, Sept. 26 (U.R) Governor Thomas E. Dewey called upon the American people today to elect him president in November in order to restore integrity to the White House." The Republican presidential nominee wound up a seven speech coast-to-coast campaign tour in Oklahoma City last night with a charge that Integrity had been lacking in the 12 years of field as a mobile force no more than 75,000 men . . . those are the words of Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff of the U. S army. "Dec. 7, 1941, found the army with plans but not planes . . . that statement was made in an official report on Jan. 4 of this year by Gen. H. H.

On the whole, Dewey con tinued in his review of 12 years of the Roosevelt administration, "Mr. Roosevelt's record is des perately bad." "It is not one on which any man should seek the confidence of the American people," he ar gued. "That's why it's time for a change.'

Dewey was confident that his plea would be answered He pre dicted that in the November election the American people will "restore integrity to the White House so that its spoken word can be trusted again." The New York governor spent most of his half-hour speech from Oklahoma answering Mr. Roosevelt's opening campaign bid of Saturday night.
