Dewey Signals Possible Travel For Campaign Talks
Gov. Dewey suggested he may travel within a month to confer with other governors on president election plans. He avoided national issues, said no definite meeting was set, but discussed informally with Gov. Earl Warren of California after his nomination. Dewey plans Albany residence two months with weekends at his Pawling farm as campaign headquarters open in New York City. He declined on foreign policy questions and would keep a low profile to avoid premature campaign disclosures amid wartime developments.
