If you can find any successful accusation against me, I want you to be against me.” Meanwhile Thomas K Dewey re peated his o(Mn-stated cfenial that he and Senator Kobert A. Taft of Ohio were engineering a deal aimed at combining their strength in an effort to head Willkie off. Such a re port, Dewey said, was a “phoney.” He added that he saw no evidence of his support dropping off to Will kie. On the contrary, he asserted, he received a windfall only today in the form of a pledge of support from an unnamed delegation on which he had not previously counted. He claimed 370 to 410 votes on the first ballot. Earlier, former Governor Henry J. RBB8BR STAMPS ^ All Siam — QMck Service • CBRONICn PUBiaSHlIIG CO.
