Dewey Confident of Victory Plan Shapes for Fall Election
Washington reports describe Governor Thomas E. Dewey as confident he will win in November with a restrained campaign schedule. An Albany meeting with Governor Earl Warren of California will decide the final GOP plan while President Truman pursues a broader, cheaper pace of whistle stop talks aided by radio and courthouse steps appearances. Democratic finances lag behind, but Truman aims to spotlight Congress as a failing backdrop to Dewey’s candidacy, as party leaders trumpet momentum and organize nationwide support.

Truman Signs Housing Bill Amid Criticism of GOP Delay
President Truman signed the housing bill today while blasting House Republicans for delaying the Taft-Ellender-Wagner measure. He urged support for public housing and slum clearance, saying many Americans live in disgraceful urban and rural slums and that the bill falls short of ideal reform. Senator McCarthy defended the law as expanding low cost housing loans, with detailed provisions for FHA loans, two-income families, and veteran cooperatives. In Arkansas, voters chose a gubernatorial candidate between Sidney McMath and Jack Holt.
