Dewey Cleared by Maryland Campaign Investigators
Washington AP reports that a Maryland senate campaign committee found little basis for complaints against Thomas E Dewey's delegates to the Republican national convention. Gillette did not detail the charges, but other members cited improper expenditures. Primary Monday will select the 16 delegates with Dewey as the sole Republican in the Senate races. The panel also sent investigators to New Jersey to examine WPA activity, praising the Sheppard committee and WPA admin Harrington for prompt regulations. Separate talk from Senator Thomas urged Oklahoma to back a Roosevelt sympathetic delegation in case he declines a third term.
