WASHINGTON, June Is. An sWering the mail orders.
 INK, Yonkers, N Y.-To sum up in a sentence or even in a brace of columns what Washington thinks of Thomas E. Dewey as a potential presidential candidate is pretty big order
 First, you must realize that Wash ington is predominantly Democrat ic; that it's Republican contingent is predominantly in the column of veterans; that there is a disposition (amounting almost to a tradition) for the Washington "ins"-Whether Democrats or Republicans to throw their loyalty to persons whom they have worked with; and that there is tendency to look with contempt on men who have not served some apprenticeship in Washington.
 Hence it would be unfair to toss off a few paragraphs and say: That's what Washington thinks of Mir. Dewey.

Air Field Wireless 5fafion Being Constructed, Russian
 Island Off Coast of Alaska

NOME, Alaska, June 15. = The Nome Daily Nugget quotes re- liable source reporting crew of about 25 Russians and several Rus sian Eskimo families currently busy constructing an air field and wire less station on the Soviet-owned Big Diomede Island, about two miles from the International boun- diary.
 The Nugget says 1t has been in- formed the wireless station will be used the. year round for weather report and broadcast.
 Only one or two Eskimo fami- lies usually live on Big Diomede Island during the winter.
 The reported increase in the population is believed due to the annual summer migration from Si- beria.
 The Big Diomede is about four miles from Little Diomede Island, owned by the United States.

Ration Cards Show
Bleak Prospects for
European Citizens
Former Resident Of
England Shows Book
Used in World War

The bleak prospect faced by Eu-
ropeans whose governments have
found it necessary to ration the
distribution of food is emphasized
by scanning one of the ration books
issued to the people.
Current ration cards emitting their
holders to limited quantities OF foods
are much too valuable to be per-
mitted out of the country. Methods
now in use, however, are similar to
ration books issued in England dur
ing the World War, one Of which
was offered for study by q former
resident Of England who Is now an
American citizen.
Perforated sheets, marked of in
stamps half the size of our postage
stamps, tell ,eloquently Of the
shortage of meats, of lard and of
butter. The holder of this particu-
lar monthly ration book had prob
ably an ordinary liking for meat,
for more than half of the meat
tickets are gone. On the other
hand, bread spreads were not so
popular. because the supplementary
jam" sheet is untouched. Or per-
hapS the supplementary jam"
stamps were to be used if a larger
supply became available, which 1t
did not.
Messages of Conservation.
The backs of the sheets carry
such messages as grow potatoes If
you can. The nation cannot have
too many" or a message from the
director general Of food production
saying grow more food and waste
less"
Another message, headed Nation
al Salvage" reads: 1T is the duty
of every householder not only to
prevent waste but also to see that
all material of every kind which he
cannot use himself is carefully pre-
served and handed over to those
who can.
Bones. waste paper, rags, metals,
etc., are urgently needed"
Prison for Misuse.
Instructions printed on the back
of the front cover emphasize that
coupons already detached from the
leaf are invalid" and explain that
the book may be used only by or on
behalf of the holder. The book had
to be given up at the death of the
holder.
To hold more than one book was
listed as summary offense pun
lshable by fin: up to f100 or six
months imprisonment, or both. The
same punishment was to be meted
out if person used another's ra-
ton book except for that person.
The ministry of food was pre-
pared even if further stringent saw
ings had to be effected. Each book
contained sheet of stamps marked
spare" to be used if other foods
besides those listed had to be ra-
toned.
