NEW YORK. - Barring world
champion prizefghters, Thomas
E. Dewey probably has received
more publicity than any other
pFuy American of his
y Aoo years. He is only
Bossy With So, but almost ev-
UTrapiofa' erything about
him is old news.
However, as the New York Repub-
icans nominated him for COVER
nor, the whole country seems hun
cry for information about the cock
of his eyebrow, his gold filings, if
any, the set of his suspenders and
whether he runs down the heels Of
his shoes. Friends from the West
and Far West have told me, and
some have written, that there is
more talk about Thomas E. Dewey
for President than about all the
other possibilities put together.
These informants say the talk is
not partisan - that New York's
young racket-buster is becoming the
national symbol of a 'happy issue
out of all our Affections"
This reporter hereby hands
him the agrarian vote: on the
banks of the Shiawasse, near
OwOSso, in the state of Michi-
gan, he was a demon cow milk
er. People would come for miles
to see and hear him milk a cow.
Musically gifted, he could make
the powerful milk stream ring a
tune in the pail as he sang LA
BOheme," or 'n Traviata." His
father ran country newspaper.
AS to the industrial East, he is a
cagey bridge player who never takes
his partner out of a business double.
He is squash player in winter,
and tennis player in summer. He
sings baritone, safe vocal as well
as political range, and was trained
as an opera singer, first in New
York on a musical scholarship.
There's nothing snowy about him
and he never makes a play to the
press coop.
He appears to be, to this OBJ
server, the answer to Stuart
Chase's plea for a new kind of
politician. In a magazine arti-
Gle printed about a year ago,
Mr.. Chase tore all political dog
mas to tatters and said we
would get nowhere until we be-
gan to isolate and attack given
problems and settle them ac-
cording to their immediate re-
quirements, without regard to
their political or philosophical
context. Big town racketeering
is one of those "given problems"
and then some. 1t is interesting
to note that, in his acceptance
speech, MIR. Dewey renowned
political dogma"
On most of the specific political
issues of the day, Mr.. Dewey's opin-
ion has not been revealed. He has
been slated as liberal and "pro-
gressive," but, in the days of Clip
pecanoe and Tyler, too" the coun-
try esteemed fighting men and ap-
parently still does.
REECE has had several associ-
~ atoms to get the Elgin marbles
from England. They're still there.
The Association of Men With Wings
xJo seems to have bet
Nei ter prospects Of
To Bring Back retaining for
WRIGHT Plane America the origi-
nal Wright broth
ers' airplane. Orville Wright, who,
for quite human and understands
BILE reasons, let the plane go to Eng
land, now joins the association in it's
effort to bring it back to this coun-
try.
When and if they succeed, it
will be another feather in the
flying helmet of Col. Charles
Wayne KerwoOd. Ever since he
stopped daredeviling as one of
Americas most spectacular and
adventurous aviatOrs, he has
been plotting to get that plane,
even if he has to kidnap it. That
was why he formed the above
association, of which he is presi-
dent.
He flew and fought with the
French in the World war, with the
Greeks against the Turks in 1922,
was wounded and grounded more
than once, turned to transforming
and sensational knockabout flying,
and became president of the Inter-
national League of Aviators. He is
native of Chicago, big, bronzed,
moustachioed, once a flying and
fighting buddy of General Franco,
against the Riffs.
THIS department would like to
l. come out boldly against some
thing. An unfinching stand against
red fingernails looks pretty safe.
