The Gazette and Daily, York, Thursday Morning, October 26, 1944 29 (Latest Dewey United States offer help to refugees. The Republican vice presidential nominee had been asked for comment on a statement yesterday by the War Refugee board in Washington that Bricker's name was signed to an appeal President Roosevelt received last May for establishment of temporary havens for European refugees in this country. Bricker said he did not know whether the petition he signed was the same one to which the refugee board referred, but that he did recall having correspondence with the late Alfred E. Smith about the petition he signed. The nominee reiterated his statement made in a speech at Denver Oct.

23 that refugees brought to the U. S. last August and located at an emergency refugee shelter, Oswego, N. were supposed to be women and children, but that after they arrived they were found to be mostly men. "Naturally America has always held out a helping hand to refugees," said Bricker.

"Refugees "who come here must be refugees in need and not a group of political intellectuals," he added. The refugees board's statement had said the majority of the refugees at Oswego were women and children. tional committee, and Edwin W. Pauley, treasurer of the committee. He said the letter continued that at this meeting the President had said: "I think it would be a good idea to have a list of one thousand persons banded together from all over the United States to act as a liaison to see that facts relating to the public interest are presented factually to the President and members of Congress." Dewey then read what he said was the following quotation from the letter: "Members of this organization undoubtedly will be granted special privilege and prestige by party leaders.

These members will be called into conference from time to time to discuss matters of national importance and to assist in the formulation of administration policies." "To be eligible for members in the One Thousand club will require a contribution of $1,000 to the National Democratic campaign fund." 'There in crude unblushing words," Dewey told a nationwide radio audience, "is the ultimate expression of New Deal politics by the theory of 'who gets what, when, and why. Bricker Reiterates Statement On Refugees Branded As False Eort Worth, Oct. 25 UP) Gov. John W. Bricker told a press conference today that while he did not recall all details he remembered signing "some sort of interdenominational petition" that the to defray campaign expenses.

Those who subscribe $1,000 are making an investment in democracy and the project has my approval." "I have never seen the letter Mr. Dewey referred to and it is completely ridiculous to assert that anyone who makes a contribution to the Democratic National committee will be the recipient of special favors," Hannegan said. He added that because the Democratic party "does not have angels of the type of Joe Pew, of Pennsylvania, who has contributed $13,000,000 to the Republican party," the Democrats had undertaken "a project to interest liberal and progressive business and professional people who are able to make "a contribution of $1,000." Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 25 UP) Arkansas Democratic campaign directors declared tonight that Gov. Thomas E.

Dewey had placed the wrong, interpretation upon their letter inviting membership in the "One Thousand club." H. L. McAlister and Sam J. Watkins, the finance directors, issued a formal statement assuming personal responsibility for the letter. Their statement said: "Arkansas citizens have received many benefits, direct and indirect from the present Democratic administration.

We know what to expect from a Republican administration. We have tried both." Livengood Says Food Rationing Wasn't Needed Philadelphia, Oct. 25 UP) William S. Livengood, State Secretary of Internal Affairs, said today that general food rationing has been unnecessary in this country for the last two years. Livengood told the final campaign rally of the Republican Women of Pennsylvania that one rancher had told him there are 15,000,000 surplus head of cattle in the west.

Dewey Charges Sale Of Privilege Republican presidential nominee says Democrats plan to sell special favors for $1,000. Lays plan to President Roosevelt. Repeats red herring charges. Chicago, Oct. 25 UP) Gov.

Thomas E. Dewey, returning to the scene of his nomination, charged tonight that "for a thousand dollars laid on the line to finance the fourth term drive" President Roosevelt's administration "boldly offers for sale 'special including the special privilege of assisting 'in the formulation of administration policies'." In a major campaign speech preceding President Roosevelt's appearance here Saturday for an address in Soldier Field, the Republican presidential nominee asserted that working together for a fourth term the nation would find "the bosses of the corrupt big city machines, Sydney Hill-man's Political Action committee and Earl Browder and his Communist party." In one of the most vigorously-worded indictments of the New Deal he has uttered in the campaign, the New York governor quoted from a letter dated last October 16, which he said was written from a letterhead of the National Democratic Campaign headquarters, Little Rock, and signed by H. L. McAlister and Sam J. Watkins, state finance directors, inviting the recipient to join the "One Thousand Club." Dewey quoted the letter as saying the idea for such a club had originated "at a recent conference at the White House between the President, Robert E.

New York, Oct. 25 UP) Robert E.

Hannegan, chairman of the Democratic National committee, tonight denied that any financial contributor to the committee "will be the recipient of special favors." Replying to a speech made tonight in Chicago by Gov. Thomas Dewey in which the Republican presidential nominee said President Roosevelt's administration "boldly offers for sale 'special Hannegan commented in a statement: "I have never discussed with the President the organization of the 'Thousand club' and any quotation contained in the letter read tonight by Governor Dewey attributed to the President is wholly without substance and is unauthorized." "Mr. Dewey, whose campaign tactics of misrepresentation and deceit are now well known to the American people, was singularly out of place in his excursion into the subject of 'honesty in Mr. Dewey could develop an extraordinarily interesting speech on the topic of 'honesty in utterance," Hannegan said. He added, "I have been advised by Edwin W.
