CHARLESTON, W. Va„ Oct. B — Looking upon the New Deal's in- dustrial program as the "fore- runner of a corporate state," Gov. Thomas E. Dewey said here last night that the record of President Roosevelt's Administration was the answer to-, what he said was the Communists' belief that the Pre- sident's re-election was essential to their aims. Dewey asked, "Now why is my opponent's election so essential to the aims of the Communists? The answer is right in the record of this Administration. The aims of New Dealer*, were stated on May 23, 1939, by Adolph' Berle (now as- sistant secretary of state) in a carefully-written memorandum submitted to a temporary national economic committee, an official agency set up to decide upon our Four-hundred thousand boxes of candy will be distributed to American soldiers over- future for us.
