WHO'S NEWS

By Lemuel F. Parton
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Mr.. Dewey's Rat Trap.

MIR. DeWey'S Rat Trap.
NEW YORK.-Our Mr..
~ Dewey seems to have
made a better rat trap than
his neighbor.@and the world
beats a path to his door, with
other cities wanting to know
how he does it.
The young rackets prosecutor,
ringing up seven more convictions,
for perfect score, has turned up
extortion totalling about $100,000,-
900. He gets $16,695 year. He
seems to be a good investment.
With possible maximum sentences
Of 2,100 years against the seven res
taurant racketeers, he's already
drawing bead on allied industrial
rackets.
Governor Lehman took Thomas
E. Dewey, now thirty-four years
old, from $4,000 law practice for
the biggest municipal dry-clean-
ing job of modern history. First, he
put the panderers away, Charles
(Lucky) Luciano and eight others;.
then twenty-eight loan sharks, with
their $40, 900 blood money rack
ct; then, with bit of legal leger-
demain, he turned policy kings into
rats and put them away, too.
He moved on through the truck
ing, used brick, poultry, bakery,
electrical contracting, tenants and
chauffeurs' rackets, and each case
brought shout Of front" to the
Sing Sing bell-boys.
He comes from Owosso, in the
deep woods Of Michigan. There,
as in Windy Gap, the sheriff is sup
posed to drive out or lock up the
crooks. Thomas E. Dewey seems
to have brought this quaint small
town idea to Manhattan. He rides
'e1n down.
His father ran country news
paper and he was the printshop dew
il, working on nearby farms when
he was big enough. He expected
to be a choir singer and it was his
baritone voice which won him a
scholarship at Columbia. He was
paid sOloist at st. Matthew's and
st. Timothy's church in West
Eighty-fourth street.
Finishing in law at Columbia, he
engaged in private practice and
later joined the staff of George Me-
dale, u. S. district attorney. 1t
was 1888 when he roped Waxy Cor
don, one of the biggest and sleekest
of the rodent rodeo. ....-.---

When the Shooting Starts.

VASAA VAAS oAAVOVAAS3' 'OtSI4 GSs
a FTER writing 140 books, E.
~ Phillips Oppenheim, the Brit
ish novelist, complains that diplo-
matte intrigue-his favorite fiction
al theme isn't what it used to be.
He knew the old patterns sufficient
ly to foresee events.
His novels, ''The Mischief Max
err" "Our Great Secrets" and ''The
Makers of History predicted the
World war with almost perfect &C.
curacy in time and the alignment
of powers. Given certain num-
Der of diplomats, Of standard spec
ifcations, engaged in routine phe-
nagling over old. established pune
tilio, and he could figure out when
the shooting would start.
But that's all over, says Mr.. OPP
penheim, visiting this country for
the first time i'm ten years. Diplo-.
mats call names and tell all they
know, and more, on the radio, and
the 1aggard novelist shouts "Wait
for baby!" as they touch off more
deviltries than he can invent.
At the age of seventy-one the
genial, sturdy MIR. Oppenheim is
one of the few writer's who can man
two dictaphones at once, keeping
novel racing through each of them
without stopping for water or feed.
Caesar could work three stenog-
raphers at once, if this reporter re-
members his high school Latin cor
rectly, but it was a lost art until
Mr.. Oppenheim and the late Edgar
Wallace came along. There was
talk of staging a debating race
between them when they both lived
at Nice.
Mr.. Oppenheim has been writing
fifty-one years, although his first
novel, "Expiation," did not appear
until 1887. Previously he had pub
lished short stories. OF his 14O
books, 100 have been novels and the
others volumes of short stories,
three omnibus works and travel
book.
He likes to have a good time dur
ing the day, swimming, golfng or
flirting with Lady Luck when he's
on the Riviera, and usually works
from four o'clock in the afternoon
until seven, during which hours he
keeps the dictaphone smoking.
He never blocks out his yarns. He
just starts talking, and lets the story
unravel as it may. In 1925, they
rudely taxed him out of England.
He took refuge on the Riviera, but
now lives on Guernsey island in
the British channel.
When he was eighteen, he was
funked in mathematics and quit
school to work in his fathers leath-
er business. When he visited Paris,
French cafe owner told him some
tales Of underworld intrigue, with
international complications. That
started his long writing marathon,

S+renq+h Of Character

Strength of character is not
mere strength of feeling; it il the

Present Helpers

Give the help you are able to
give now rather than wait for the
greater gift you hope to bestow by
and by. If the poor widow had
waited to cast more into the
treasury when her fortunes i'm
proved, she never would have
won that commentator of the
Master which has come down
through the centuries.
There may be far greater need
for that help you can give now
than there will be for your great
er assistance at some later time.
