Governor Thomas E. Dewey took hi

Tonight, at the university town of

American foreign policy.
Peace Plan'
In It. he Is expected to blueprint
his ideas for future peace not the

Some inkling of his ideas emerged
from his talks yesterday on the swing

nations In economic and social unity
and "hard headed" administration

Here In Corvallls last night, be

State college, Dewey called for a new
"long-term farm and food program"
and modernization ot farm parity
formulas.
Parity Price
Agricultural parity prices, he de
clared, "should include considera
tion of the cost of hired farm
labor" In balancing farm prices
against farm costs. With the Issues
he coupled a warm defense ot the
farm cooperative and soil conserva
