He called the Minneapolis Hump: rey to Balls senate seat as Dewey's name, he linked him with "recent converts" to a bi-partisan foreign policy he said were preaching "me too, but I can do it bet-tar." An audience which overflowed1 the hall whooped it up in approval as he declared the GOP liked the government eo well they wanted to "buy it." Touches Foreign Policy pulled foreign policy direct ly into the campaign, asserting Gov. Dewey supplied no unity on tnat front as late as 1944. Truman said Republican leaders "mainly isolationist" in 1940 Wtt "half the world in flames. 1 call on all liberals and pesaivss to stand up and be counted for democracy the great oaiue, me president said.

The president said Governor Dewey in 1940 said production of 50,000 airplanes a year was "fan tastic and the nation produced 1UU.UU0. "He had so little foresight about post-war problems." Mr. Truman continued, "that he felt we could completely demobilize our military Btrengxn tne minute that hostilities ceased." "Here again, as in so many oth er cases," Mr. Truman continued, me American people should sider the risk of entrusting the uesuny to recent converts now come along and say 'me, too, out I can do it He said Senator Ball showed fanatic zeal in helping to push the shameful Taft-Hartley law through congress.

PHONE its "Good Government Theme of Address in Truman Holdings Gov. Dewey Carries His Drive Into Missouri Pendergast Centers Enroute with Dewey to Kansas City, Oct.

14 Gov. Thomas E. Dewey picked a "good government" theme today in an att. mpt to cut Missouri's 15 "home basi electoral votes from under Pi evident Truman. Turning temporarily away from the pounding he has been giving the Truman administration un the loreign front, the GOP presidential nominee planned to talk on home problems in Kansas City tonight.

Announcing the topic of the talk, Paul Lockwood, the New York governors secretary, Dewey would "promise to bring to Washington a government that believes wholeheartedly in system of freedom, that knows where it is going; that practices teamwork; that has integrity; that is competent, and that has vision, faith and courage." This large order seemed unlikely to prevent Dewey from alluding indirectly to Truman's connection with the Kansas City Penergast organization. In an area embracing the district where Truman purged a Democratic congressional candidate in 1946 only to have his choice lose to a Republican, the New York governor was expected to bear down on ballot box integrity. Investigation Barred Senator Kem (R-Moj tried un-: successfully for months to win a congressional Investigation of Attorney General Clark's handling of the Kansas City vote frauds. The GOP nominee's interest in Missouri primarily was in attempting to wrest the president's home state from him. He spent the day in Oklahoma yesterday, however, largely on a mission that even some of his friends though was futile an attempt to elect Rep.

Ross Rizley, Republican, as the next senator from Oklahoma. The 51 to 45 margin the Repub licans now hold in the senate looks so shaky in this year's balloting that Dewey made 12 something of a record for In Oklahoma. May Oklahoma The consensus of local was that while Dewey has some chance to carry Oklahoma, his margin would have to be larger than expected to pull Rizley to rictory with him over the latter's opponent, former Democratic Gov. Robert S. Kerr.

The Republican rub in this case that Sen. Ed Moore, Repub lican, is retiring and a Demo cratic victory would UMp cut down the slim GOP senate margin. In his trek across Oklahoma, rwey talked mostly of world peace with clear implication that the chances of avoiding war would be much better if the Republicans pain control of the White House Tn Oktahoma City, he told one of the largest crowds of listeners his campaign -estimated at i.OOO by police captain Tom Webb if he is elected he will free government of the "shackles confusion and defeatism and dispair."

SOCIETY Practical Club Hears "Tea" Story Mrs. A.

E. Marih was hostess to 17 members and one guest of the practical club for 1:30 dessert luncheon Tuesday. Mrs. C. H.

Crews of Tampa, cousin of Mrs. w. E. Whitson, was the club's guest. Mrs.

Rowena Powell, president, presided over the business meeting. Mrs. Homer Senniff had prepared a paper on "A story about Tea" but as she was unable to attend the meeting Mrs. George Stephen the paper. A few of the interesting facts brought out by the paper will be given below.

To coffee loving Americans, tea is a sissy drink yet the world drinks more tea than any other beverage except water. China may consume more tea than any other nation, about half of the world's annual crop, two billion pounds. But man to man an Englishman drinks five times as much as the Chinese. The Japanese prepare their tea by pulverizing the dried tea leaves and placing a pinch of the powder in a cup of boiling water this is then whipped with a bamboo switch. The Chinese who are the original tea drinkers pour the boiling water on the tea leaves then cover the cup with a saucer like lid and let it seep.

To drink the lid is flipped back jus: enough to strain the leaves while the liquid is sipped noiselessly. The Russians on the othe- hand like to sop it from a saucer or from a tall glass in a metal holder. As for tea bags the Americans are the only people in the world who use them. Mrs. John Byers read items of interest.
