DEWEY ASKS AVOIDANCE OF BITTERNESS


Thomas E. Dewey bid openly today for Democratic support as he primed his backers to avoid "bitterness" that might hurt GOP chances in 1952.The task, as Dewey explained it to a rally of voluntary campaign backers, is to achiever what he considers a certain victory without making any enemies among the millions of Democrats and independents he predicted would vote from him Nov. 2.







"Bitterness?" You gotta love it.
