Dewey Seeks State Leadership On Postwar Policy
Dewey, 76, said governors would shape policy statements on domestic affairs including insurance regulation, state versus federal control of the national guard, unemployment services, public expenditures and health. He noted governors would largely authorize the campaign charter on domestic policy as the postwar world begins to take shape. Forrestal and Admiral King tempered expectations, warning the Pacific war remains far from finished and Japanese resistance could endure despite Tojo’s fall.
