Harry, Tom I Stump West, Swap Blows By United Press . President Truman and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey stumped the Midwest yesterday, swapping angry charges of double-talk and incompetence. Swinging through Wisconsin and Minnesota, Mr Truman un leashed his most furious attack on the Republican presidential nominee so far in a nationwide broadcast from St. Paul, Minn. : Accusing Dewey of trying to win the election with "catch phrases" and "mealy-mouthed political speeches," he said Dewey has "little foresight" in world af fairs and that it would be too risky to entrust the white house and bi-partisan foreign policy to recent converts who now come along and say 'me too, but I can do it better.'" The New York governor, cam paigning through Oklahoma, as sailed the "incredible incom petence" of the Truman adminis ration and pledged that, if elect ed, he would give the country government adn foreign policy so strong "that no dictator wilt dare attack us." Their invective was matched by their supporters around the coun try. Chairman J. Howard McGrath of the Democratic national com mittee accused Dewey of en dangering bi-partisan efforts for peace by "loose talk."

Fraternity Bids Available Today Freshmen, transfer students and nil ntlAr man I'd 'Ifin! C mnif 1' r'l r- up fraternity rushing bids at Gerrard hall today and tomorrow from 10 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Unlike last year's procedure, each man is directly responsible for picking up his own bids. The fraternities will not deliver them. Last year was the first time the other method was ever used, and it was decided not to continue the practice this year. Interfraternity council spokes men said yesterday that all fresh men and other students should check by Gerrard hall to ascer tain whether or not they have received bids to visit any frater nities, even if they are not ex pecting any bids. Formal rushing for the fall quarter will begin on Sunday from 7 o'clock until 9:30 in the evening, and between the same hours on Monday and Tuesday.

The hours on Monday will be 7 o'clock until 9:30, and on Tuesday, which is shake-up day. from 7 o'clock until 10:30. This is a correction of the printed rush period rules which state that the second . formal rushing period lasts through Wednesday, Nov. 3. Fraternity rushing rules ex plicitly stale that all rushees are forbidden to signify their inten tions to pledge any fraternity un til the official shake-up day, Nov 2. A violation of this rule can re sult in the ineligibility of the rushee .to pledge any fraternity for a period of six months.

Gives Facts On Inflation Before 600 By Sam McKeel Stating "I am in favor of a short term offense, even at the risk of war, in order to insure peace," Marriner Eccles last night depressed a Hill hall audience of 600 with his pessimistic view of the future. "Unless the present generation does better in the future than my generation has done so far, I can't be very pptimistic about the future of the world," Eccles said. Speaking on inflation, its causes, effects and cures, Eccles spoke under the auspices of the Car olina Forum and, the Carolina Political Union. "Our postwar inflation," Eccles said, "is traceable in the first instance to the excessive money supply which we created to fi nance war. The adjustment of a. peacetime economy to this large money supply almost inevitably would have involved some gener al price increase." "The transi tion could have been eased by a continuation of direct controls." he said, "for a period after the war until the supply of goods had been reestablished. But we took off our direct controls and let prices go their own way, which was upward." "The amount of money we had when the war started was about one-third of what we had when it ended," Eccles said. "Unless federal expenditures are cut, or taxes increased, we face a budget ary deficit next year." Speaking of price controls dur ing the war Eccles said "Price controls were ineffective, unwork able, and played right into the hands of the black market. Mil lions of dollars were made after controls were taken off. Black marketeers strongly advocated price controls, just like bootleg gers strongly advocate prohibi tion." "We need now to do something to bring our monetary inflation under control," he said. "Admit tedly, the Federal Reserve could cheek the inflation by abandon ing its support of the government securities market. This would be very strong medicine indeed." Other courses of action should be tried first, Eccles added. Ad ditional authority should be granted to the Federal Reserve System by Congress, so that the Federal Reserve could offset the credit-easing effects of sales by institutional holders of Govern ment securities. "We need to restore a budget surplus by increasing tax rev enues and decreasing government expenditures," Eccles said. Ob viously government expenditures cannot be decreased in the pres ent international crisis." Engineer Says Dewey 'Just as Dumb as Me' EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 11 (UP) Lee Tindle, 54, locomotive engineer who backed Gov. Thom as E. Dewey's campaign train in to a crowd last night, said today be was sorry about the incident but that he didn't believe Dewey should have called him a "luna tic." He said Dewey was "just about as dumb as I was to make a mis take like that." However, he said Dewey's re mark would net influence his vote in the November election. "I wasn"t going to vote for him anyway," Tindle said. The incident occurred last night when the train stopped at Beaucoup, 111. About 1,000 persons crowded around the rear of the train to hear Dewey. Suddenly ! the train jerked and started back I wards.
