ICKES CRITICIZES GOV. DEWEY

LOS ANGELES - Interior Secretary Harold l.. Ickes says Gov. Thomas Dewey is support ed by a "prize group of Isola- tionists and Rabb1e Rousers," who have bitterly fought" the nations preparations for and participation in the war"
 Ickes told an audience of film notables and others recently that the republican presidential candi- date is attempting to lead into the White House a Trojan horse containing "Isolationists."
 Ickes asserted that Dewey, without maturity of experience, whose convictions, if he. has any, wobble from side to side from day to day, is bound to be influ- enced by the people who are sup porting him."

 Athletics didn't interest Dewey particularly. The emblem Of the musical Tyre meant more to him than a major letter. and he distin- guished himself in Phi Mu Alpha, the musical fraternity also known as the Sinfonia Society, with bari- tone which must have been unusu- ally pleasing. Gilbert Jerome ad- mits that Tom could really charm 'em all, despite the fact that on more than one occasion he had to below across the hall Tom, for Pete's sake cut out the scalesl We've got a calculus quiz tomorrow

Serious. circnmspecG Dewey as a
 student with . pleasing baritone
 voice. and a charming personality. hints on how to balance peas on a knife. Unfortunately none of these notes arc extant, but from all ac. counts Tom displayed a keen sense Of humor in them.
 Dr. Howard walser. Detroit phy- sician who roomeG with Dewey in his senior year. credits him with helping cook up a somewhat fleIld- ish task for a Phi Mu Alpha pledge, which indicates the same sort Of ingenuity displayed on the House Critic fob. One of the fayorite after- dinner songs of the fraternity was "Laudes Atque Carmena," a Latin ballad which Tom had the pledge learn backwards, both words ana melody. The neophyte did 1t, too.

Tn the role Of Patrick ODare. who wanted moi- archy restored to Ireland. Tom Dewey said:
 only one thing is needed to
 convince them that We are ape
 pointed to lead them out of the
 valley Of darkness into the beau-
 tiful sunlight of my government;
 that is, that the fountain In my
 garden turn green at midnight.

 PASSION FOR FACTS
 While working as telegraph editor on the Michigan Daily. and in the course of long. 'blll-sessions |, Dewey revealed a passion for get- ting to the bottom Of things. HIS was a penetrating curiosity. and re insisted on marshalling all available facts and examining them minute ly. Such a mind, plus a natural eio' nuence, stod him in good stead as a prosecutor and district attorney, and later, as Governor of New York.
 But Tom Deweyis friends admit that he surprised them all. The worn metaphor that still water runs deep was brought to mind-or, to give the thought an up-to-date ana slightly different twist. Dewey per- formed like a delayed-action bomb. Tie first 90 years Of his life were comparatively uneYentful. He had cut no flaming gwath across the campus. and few. if any, suspected the hidden punch he had stored away from ready view,
