: BEHIND THE SCENES IN WASHINGTON
He Lost In l938-Bu Don't Count Tom Dewey Out for 1910

crusading against racketeering and
political corruption, Dewey can con-
tinue to build up both his position
as the party's "glamor boy" and his
national prestige as public official
who gave Roosevelt. Farley and New
Dealers the scare Of their lives. You
can expect him to declare himself
frequently on public issues other
than crime.
Such. at least, is the view of lib
erals prominent in the New York @.

Dewey in his effort to sever ties with
the ''old gang" and '.remake" the
party. Significantly or not, neither

Emanuel Celler, of Brooklyn, in
troduced bills in Congress to
authorize construction of power
full shortwave station by the gov
eminent for the purpose of COM
peting with Fascist propaganda
broadcasts. Perhaps it is a COIN
cidence, but NBC and others sud-
IDENTIFY started operating shortwave
stations on regular schedules and
CHS extended its schedule. BY
another coincidence the Cellar
bills we're Shelved.
Today, NBC is on the air with
its European Beam" and its two
Latin American Beams" for six
teen hours a day. 1t maintains
staff of 38, mostly ex-newspaper-
men and all masters of at least two
languages, to conduct broadcasts
in six tongues: English, Italian,
German, French, Portuguese and
Spanish. Most of the programs
over W3XL and W3XAL are mu-
sic, both popular and classical.
But NBC sends more news broad
casts into South America, for ex-
ample, than either Germany,
Italy, England or France. It has
eight and a half hours weekly
compared with three and a half
hours weekly for the others.
CHS is on the air about thirteen
hours day with news broadcasts,
commentaries, music programs
and pickups Of regular CONNER
cial and sustaining programs. It
maintains a European Antenna"
during the most of the day and
South American Antenna" dur
ing the evening. Its staff of twelve
comprises mostly newspaper me.a
with bi-lingual facility. It con-
centrateS on the English, Span
ish and Portuguese languages, but
jumps into German, Italian,
French and even Polish when oc-
casion warrants. It's short wave
station, WOKE, broadcasts about
six hours of news a week. almost
twice as much as German and
Italian shortwave spots.
When the big radio interests
suddenly developed enthusiasm
for shortwave broadcasting, there
were discreet and unofficial in
quiries in Washington about what
to broadcast. The unofficial an
swer was to avoi6. propaganda.
Just stick to the facts" was the
attitude in Washington.

LA GUARDIA GAINS
IN PRESTIGE
It's none too easy to At LaGuar-
dia's presidential aspirations into the
1910 picture. Defeat Of the LaFol-
lettes in Wisconsin and Farmer-La-
borite Governor Benson in Mime
sofa confuses the prospect OF q
merger of left-wing parties with left
wing Democrats in which LaGuardia
might be chosen to tote the flag.
In the New York race. LaGuar-
dia disliked Lehman thoroughly,
cared little for Dewey, but main
tanned strong personal-political de-
votion to Presirent Roosevelt. His
closest advisers told him he had no
future In the Democratic party and
his common sense told him that IT
Dewey became the nations number
I Republican, he himself wouldn't
have q peek at the II nomination.
Roosevelt pleaded with LaGuar-

dia to endore Lehman. "No time to
be q mugwump, Fiorellol" he said.
LaGuardia retorted, In effect, that
Roosevelt and other New Dealers
had taught him to dislike Lehman
and that his dislike was now too
deep-seated to allow him to pub
licly repudiate it. Roosevelt warned
him that if he endorsed Dewey,
things would never he the same
again" when the mayor came to the
White House.
In the end LaGuardia made q
public appearance with Lehman and
endorsed him inferentially without
urging his reelection. Democratic
leaders are appreciative.
4 They agree privately with Dewey's
managers that Dewey would have
been elected had LaGuardia come
out for him publicly. SO LaGuardia
will carry extraordinary weight in
the conferences he plans with other
progressives to try to penetrate the
foC In which the 1888 elections
leaves the progressive element.
