Dewey of New York changed his mind today and said he would accept the Republican nomination for governor again. It answered one of the biggest questions as three states entered a week of candidate choosing. Dewey, who earlier had planned to retire from the political arena, is figured certain to be handed the party’s nomination for a third four- year term at Wednesday’s state con vention. McCarran, who has not gone home to campaign, is opposed by George Franklin, Jr., Las Vagas attorney, who served as a bomber pilot in World War II. A defeat for McCar ran would be rated an upset. Dewey’s announcement that he would accept the GOP gubernatorial nomination in New York marked an about-face from his June 17 state ment that he would quit politics and return to private law practice at the end of this'year. Ill health was said to have been a contributing factor in his decision to retire. His announcement today prompted speculation that he might again be willing to throw his hat into the ring for the priae that his twice escaped him—the White House. He was the GOP presidential nominee against the late President Roosevelt in 1M4 and against President Truman in 1948. New York’s voters will learn this week what choice in both parties they will have in the November elections. The Republicans will pick their slate of candidates at Saratoga Springs on Wednesday, with Dewey regarded as a standout choice for the gubernatorial nomination. Lieut. Gov. Joe Hanley stepped out of the governor race to make way for Dew ey. The latter asked Hanley today to become the party’s choice for sena tor. The Democrats will meet in Ro chester Wednesday to name candi dates for governor and United States senator.

At this stage therefore, there is little reason to doubt that 1950-51 will see a re duction, possibly a considerable one, in world stocks, which at the begin ning of the season totaled 16.3 mil lion bales. SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLE ‘The Paper Everybody Reads” MAYOR McGUP By John Jarvis With the United States crop re stricted to 103 million bales and production elsewhere unlikely to ex ceed last season’s total of 15 million bales by more than 15 per cent, the world outturn of cotton in 1950-51 may be no more than 27.5 million , bales as compared with world pro- Mamie Louise Matt-1 duction last season of 30.9 million bales and world consumption of 29.3 million bales.

(This was the first Yugoslav de nunciation of the Korean attack, in all United Nations votes on the issue, the Yugoslav delegate either has abstained or has voted on the side of Russia.) At the same time, however, Yu goslavia assailed both East and West for using Korea as the arena for a “war of conquest.” The statement took the form of an interview with Yugoslav For eign Minister Edward Kardelj, pub lished by the Communist organ Bor- ba. Kardelj left Belgrade today at the head of the Yugoslav delegation to the coming United Nations gener al assembly. Borba quoted Kardelj as saying, in an apparent reference to Soviet domination of the North Koreans, that: The foreign minister added that “the'armed action of the North Korean government is not aimed at the liberation of the Korean peo ple.” British Troops Under Fire On Korean Front Somewhere In Korea, Wednesday, Sept. 6—British troops are in the Korean front line and have been under fire.
