ISOLATIONIST STRATEGY

The secret poW-WoW of the II Senate isolationists to map strate gy for the battle against arming merchant ships, wasn't as har- monious as Senator Burton K. Wheeler, who presided, let on to neWSmen.
 One of those present caused a furore by suggesting that the bat tie be called off.
 The fifth columnist' was Sen ator D. Worth Clark of Idaho, one of the most vocal foes of RooseVelt's foreign policies and chairman of the Anglophobe- packed committee that has been investigating movie "propagan- da.' Clark almost caused Sen ators Hiram Johnson, in whose office the meeting was held, Wheeler and LaFollette to jump out of their chairs by counselling against an open fight on the ship arming issue.
 T think the best policy would be to forget about it and lay for the next bill to do away with combat zones,' Clark said. That's the big danger, as l see it. Arming merchant ships won't seriously imperil our neutrality as long as we keep them out of belligerent waters

TOM DEWEY BREAKS WITH ISOLATIONISTS

WASHINGTON - The Repub- lican isolationist logjam is slow ly but steadily breaking up. An other big chunk will now cut loose in the person of Tom Dew ey.
 Now that the New York City election is over the dapper little District Attorney, who is volun- tarily quitting this job which gave him his political start, will make a speech in which he will desert the isolationist camp.
 Dewey will not go all the way with Wendell Willkie, COP titu- ar leader, who has come out for declaration of war against Hit Ter. But he will endorse the pol icy of aiding foes of Nazism and will call for national unity be- hind the President.
 Behind the scenes, Dewey has been Wobbling on the foreign issue for some time. With his eye fixed on the New York guberna- torial race next year as step- ping stone for another ty at the presidency in 1944, he has been in a stew which way to jump What cautious statements he has made have been of an isolationist tenor and he has been considered in the "anti" fold.
 But after some secret polling in key sections of the state, Dew ey finally became convinced that if he wants to be Governor he will have to disassociate himself clearly and definitely from any isolationist taint.
 So he will take the plunge in a speech carefully staged to ensure the widest publicity.
