 A lot of his moves have been as quiet as to escape attention, but in one way or another he has stuck an oar into practically every crucial contest.
 A. few of these interventions, such as the hot blast at the Dies cemliaittee in behalf of Governor Frank Murphy of Michigan, and the bouquets tossed at the New York Democratic ticket, got f1a- tional publicity. Many of the others did not, But here are some of the candidates for whom Roose- welt went to bat:
 GeHBtOr Fred H. Brown, New Hampshire New Dealer; 8 letter of warm laudation, urging his re- election.
 Senator F. Ryan Duffy, WiscoIa- sin Democrat; an adrOit letter which, while endorsing Duffy, also tossed posy at Wiscpnsin's "great progressive Inovement." Roosevelt did not name names, but he meant that LaF0llettes candidate, Herman L. EkeFn, would be entirely acceptable to the White House.
 Governor George Earle and Charles A. Jones, of Pennsylvania, Democratic Senatorial and guber- material candidates; letter praise ing both and vigorously assailing Republican claims that they did not meet with White House favor.
 Governor Elmer Benson, Minne- sota Farrner-Lahorite; 3 telegram to the chairman of the Working Newspapermefl's Campaign Coni- nittee blessing Benson and ex- pressing the hope that Liberal governmental policies" would be continued in the state
 Culbert Olson and Sheridan Dowmey, California Democrats; individual letters for each urging their election.
 Bruce Barton
 According to Joe Riley, "A Washington street already has been named after Bruce Barton, the advertising Congressman. It is Dumbarton Avenue"
 Evasion Expert
 Next to the press conferences of the President, those of Wage Hour Administrator Elmer Am drews have become the most pop ular in Washington. Reporters flock to them, lombard him with queries.
 Mild-mannered and courteous, Andrews tries to answer all ques- tions, but with a large sphere of his authority still undecided he runs into frequent difficulties. At one conference a newsfnan, after unsuccessfully trying to obtain in- formation, asked Andrews if he had heard that a Washington lawyer was advertising himself as an "evasion expert on circum- venting the new law.
 ''No, I haven't heard about him." grinned Andrews, "but we might have job for him here. I sure could use him at press conferences"
 Dewey's Record
 The Securities and Exchange Commission has an interesting case involving Tom Dewey, New York candidate for governor, which indicates that despite his racket-busting fame, Tom still be- ieves that friend is friend.
 The case is that of the Canti- mental Securities Corporation, one of the sinelliest cases hefpre the SEC in some tiine-ss smelly that when 1t came befefe Tom Dewey, he indicted all of the important figures in the case except two men at the top. They happened to be represented by his close friend George z. Medalie's law firm.
 MEDALIE, FORMER U. s. DISTRICT ATTORNEY, IS ONE OF THE CHIEF HACKERS OF TOM DEWEY'S REPUBLICAN CANDIDACY.
 The men Dewey did indict were Philip Frear, an over-the-eounter trader; and four lawyers, s. Leo Eolomont Ralph H. Robh. Thomas w. Morris, Vincent Fer- retti.
 The only two Dewey did not in dict were the two brokers, Sartell Prentice and Jerome c. Brady, who executed the transactions lIfi- der scrutiny. According to SEC investigators. they we're as deeply involved as any of their suhofdi- mates. But at the grand jury pre- ceedingE, they were represented by the brother-in-law of George Meda1ie, DeWey's campaign advis- CT. Dewey failed to ask for their indictment.
