New Deal’s goal for jobs stressed
New York (UP) –
Vice President Henry A. Wallace said last night that both President Roosevelt and Governor Thomas E. Dewey have stated that they are “for full employment” but the President, he said, unlike Dewey, has been specific in setting a post-war goal of 60 million jobs.
Mr. Wallace said the “single fact” to emerge from Governor Dewey’s “thousands of campaign miles” is that “he is mad at Roosevelt and wants his job.”
