Dewey withholds peace program

Albany, New York (UP) –
Governor Thomas E. Dewey, in a move to keep post-war peace plans out of politics, has withheld detailed ideas for preventing future wars, it was reported today.

The Republican presidential nominee, it was said, wants first to bring about a non-partisan agreement on general objectives before starting discussions of definite plans. Such a procedure, his advisers said, would prevent controversy from clouding general objectives.
