BY FRANK MORRIS

With Spring in the offing, the
river people are gathering once
again in the beach saloons and
club houses TO re-tell their worn
out stories about blows and races,
but this week the chief topic of
conversation Is the death of Bill
Ortman who once ran a saloon
in Motor Boat Lane.
Word of his death in California
was received Friday, and all of
the old-timeys had a good word
10 say for him and promptly be-
gan recalling. tales of the legen-
dairy period when whisky was
brought across the river instead
of being bought under govern
ment auspices.
$50 POUNDS OF LAUGHTER
For William j. Ortman, who
was $50 pounds of jolly humanity,
was loved by one and all.
He was born in yorktown 81
years ago and attended st. Joseph
School and at the time of the last
war he was bartender in the
old Liberty Kitchen, which was
a fabulous institution.
When prohibition came, Ortman
opened a place on Motor Boat
Lane, and until he went to Cali
fornia a few years ago, he was a
kind and happy host to everyone
who would admit that the Detroit
River is one of the important won
ders of this world.
His death brought up many
tales of the days that are gone

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 8. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON. - White House intimates say they have never seen the President so resolute on any issue as on the question of holding the price line. One of his intimate advisers remarked: "The President really had his Dutch up when he fired Chester Davis"
 Usually Roosevelt would rather find a compromise than to offend people Sometimes he goes to ex- treme lengths to find new place for a man who doesn't fit. But when it came to a choice of letting prices rise or offending Chester Davis, he took the latter course with a vengeance.
 His letter to Davis will go down in the Roosevelt records as one of the sharpest letters he ever penned. Though it opened with the usual first-naming c'Dear Chester"D, it told Davis to get out immediately, instead of waiting to announce his new program for 1944. It also charged that Davis was unwilling to support program to hold down the cost of living"

HOEING HIS OWN ROW

Davis was brought to Washington because of his farm support, but inside fact is that trouble began as soon as Roosevelt found Davis was using that support for his own food program rather than the Presi- dents.
 Davis has always been close to Republican farm leader Earle Smith and conservative Ed ONeal of the Farm Bureau. But when he began to play the Smith-O'Neal game on Capitol Hill-opposing subsidies and the roll-back of prices the President thought it was time to get rid of opposition within the of ficial family.
 The question of how much au- thority Davis had or didn't have is incidental He might have had more if he had played ball and tried to hold the line in the first place. But as it became apparent that Chester was not holder-of- the-line, he was more and more frequently overruled by J m m y Byrnes.
 So Davis raised the cry of divid- ed authority.
 Final split came over the ques- tion of subsidies. which the Presi- dent believes is being used as a red herring by food processors, who found in Davis convenient

Dewey Held Spotlight Al Governors Meet
 Recently Held in Ohio
By JACK STINNETT

COLUMBUS, O., July 8. = Notes on one Thomas E. Dewey from the biggest Conference of Governors in all the 35 years of these pow-wows of the state execs have been held.
 Gov. Dewey of New York may not be a candidate for the Repub- lican presidential nomination in 1944, as he insists, and anybody who tries to draft him may get "a sock in the eye from Albany" as his intimates here declared, but he was certainly top man on the Gov ernors' Conference.
 From the moment of his arrival all eyes were on him. He was so swamped with requests for con- ferences and press interviews that his private secretary, Paul Lock- wood, had to take them in relays and the Governor forewent lot of social engagements to keep pace with the demands on his time.
 This is the first time since he has become Governor of New York that Dewey has made public ap- i. pearance outside of his state To those of us who knew him in his racket busting days as district at torney, and later during his ill., fated drive for the Republican nom- nation at the Philadelphia conven- ton two years ago, here was a diff ferent Dewey.
 In those days he was stiff with formality. He played unapproach- able and although no one ques- toned his accomplishments as a prosecutor, his press conferences frankly were a pain in the neck.
 Imagine the difference then, the
