Despite his bulk, which he car. rles around at ( tireies pace night and day, Lockwood sleeps little, used to spend the early hours of the morning at the stork Club, finally gave up tho night club life when Dewey won the nomination. Lockwood's ease with people also went q long way toward selling hard.headed politieos on Dewey and bringing the "flnanClal fat. eats" in to stako the early Dewey campaign.
 Result of this experience Is that Lockwood Is almost the only man outside of COP National Committee Chairman Herbert Brownell who can talk back to Dewey, make him listen and like it.

ther or not God will keep His promise"
 The tempter's proposal and Tyn- dall's were basically the same, and both entirely lacking in the element of faith. The idea was not primar- fly to fulfill the true function of prayer, but to find out whether God can be trusted to carry out His promises or not.
 We can never test prayer on any such basis. Prayer without faith is useless, unless it be Q prayer by Q person who lacks faith and prays that he may receive the gift of faith. nrayer is talking to Q Dinve Being we already believe in and trust.

He has put his team together player by player, like a good foot- ball coach. There are writers, researchers, economists, publieists, scholars and journalists, Each man has his speciality, each knows he must stay In his place, not move over the line Into another mans field,
 When Dewey and suavc, tough tempered Herbert Brow. nell decide that the COP can. dldate k to make Q speech, the team starts clicking. There ls little waste motion.
 First, the Brain Trust huddles. The Brain Trust includes; in. dustrious, quiet, studious John Burton, chief researcher and also New Yorok state budget director; keen.eyed Elliot Bell, principal ghost writer, who Is to Dewey what Colonel House was to Wood- row Wilson; Personal Seerteray Paul Lockwood, the man with the best political sense in tho encourage; tense, haWk-like, be. speetaeled young Jim Hagerty, ex- New York Times man; Hickman Powell, who describes himself as Dewey'S "frlend', was once chief ghost writer and now occupies Q somewhat minor role.
 AIDES GO INTO PUDDLE
 HuddleS are held in Albany's rather stuffy gubernatorial man. sion study or, In good weather, at the swimming pool behind the mansion, built originally for Franklin Roosevelt. Each man hears Dewey'S ideas on the theme of the talk, discusses his own ideas briefly. None presses too hard, all know Dewey cracks down on persistent people.
 After the huddle, the taem gets Co work. Lockwood arrangeS the travel details, gets in touch with state chairmen, orders the train, bouneeS around like Q mother hen over the rest Of the brood. Elliot Bell meets with Dewey alone, dls- eusses ideas further, Burton takes his staff to tho llth floor Of the Dewitt clinton hotel, briefs them on the speech, turns them loose digging up facts and figures, res searehing for damaging target areas in the New Deal no.man's land,
 After 48 hours, Rll drafts, memOs, facts and figures go to BeN, with whom everything Is cleared. Bell takes phrases and facts from the best memOs, then whips up Q draft of his own. This k Che first draft Dewey sees,
 EXPERTS FOR EVERYTHING
 When speeches are being pre-. pared, Bell, Lockwood and Dewey huddle with Budget Director Burton, plus whoever Is tho chief expert on the speech on hand, For farm speeches, tho expert is Hickman Powell; for Labor speeches, It's Mel petEele; for economics, It's Bell and Burton themselves; for foreign policy speeches John Foster Dulles or Herbert Hoover may be consulted.
 Bell and Dewey read over the product, then reire to whip up another and perhaps final draft. This goes to Burton for recheck- ing on facts and figures, to Lock- wood for ideas on what political bruises 1t might leave, to quiet, pipe.puffing Harold Keller for final "cOpy-reading," to check possible errors, and then to Pub. iicist Jim Hagerty and, occasional ly, Poll-Taker George Gallup for ideas on news value.
 Before any speech Is released to the press, Mrs. Dewey sees . draft and makes suggestions. She Is considered . barometer of how the average woman voter will react.

 Oct. 22, l944 Editor of the Democrat:
 read with distinct satisfaction the letter to you IT, reference on State Mental institutions by Eugene Bertram willard.
 We need more people like MT. willard to come forward and tell what they know.
 It seems to me that state operated mental institutions have gone away off the ethical course; Dorothea Lynde Dix, had in mind when she sponsored state operated mental hospitals more than Q hundred years ago.
 The present system of mental hose pitals would run against grain of doctors who are not politicians, ''mossbacks' or believers in medical economic fuddy-duddyisrn.

On the night before its deliv- cry, Dewey reads over the speech Q half dozen times, has his con- fldential secretary, blonde, little tireleSS Lillian RoSse, type 1t over In large, readable type. Dewey's own copy of the speech then goes to Lockwood, whose job 1t is to lay the manuscript on the rostruin when Dewey appears on the plate form.
 IF HE CANS LINK 'EM
 HE HIRES 'lcM
 Dewey has had his tiffs along the trail to the big leagues. Op- ponentS he couldn't lick he has signed up for his team. One good example is young Jim Hagerty of the New York Times. Hagerty covered Albany, also covered DeWey'S l040 Presidential candi. daey bid, frequently annoyed Dewey with his questions. Dewey once denounced Hagerty, charged him with misquoting Q speech about Ham Fish. Another time, Dewey bawled Hngerty out because the Times didn't run one of his speeches on page one, But when Dewey'S press relatoins reached m all-time low after he became governor, he hired Hagerty. gave him plenty of elbow room to (straighten out diplomatic relations between himself and the Fourth Estate.

 has not been too successful in

 LOCKWOOD TALKS BACK
 Lockwood, sole oraglnal member of tho Dewey ball club, who still remains in the inner circle, joined Dewey when the COY nominee was appointed district attorney, Lockwood, ex.Brooklyn reporter, was then working up thriving law practice, was told by friends: Dewey won't ever amount Go much" A bachelor, weighing close to 240 poupnds, Lockwood slaVed night and day for Dewey, helped win many 0 big law case because he enjoyed staying in the oftiee ct night reading criminal reports on pending prosecutions, found them better reading than detective stories.

RADIANT LIVING
Thought Control
By REV. &. M. GRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church. CeciltOn, Md.

Have you ever realized the
tremendous effect which your
thoughts have upon your life?
1t is a fact that has been proven
time after time hat h Z
thoughts which we keep turning
ever and over in our minds have Il
powerful influence upon our
emotions, upon our attitude toward
others, and upon our decisions.
Your daily thoughts affects
even your health. They have a
sreat deal to do with your skill in
getting along with others. They
have tremendous influence upon
your ability to meet difficult
situations.
Soldiers in fOxhOles, in constant
danger of instant death, know what
tremendous influence their
thinking has upon their morale.
They have learned that when they
are able to control their thinking.
they are masters in the dangerous
situation facing them.
II is to be admitted that the con-
troll of ones thought-habits is
difficult attainment. So is every
thing else which is worthwhile.
The trained man has spent many
long tedious hour in daily prac-
tice to attain the skill he now pos
sesses. So it is with the person
who wishes to become master of
lis own thought-habits. lie must

must be aided by a prospect of in
terest or some reward" No one
can accuse George Washington of
cynicism; his whole life would re-
flute so absurd a charge. Therefore
we may take it that he spoke So
berly and we may be sure that
there exists no better modern ex-
emplification of his sober wisdom
than the War Bond.
The rewards for patriots who
support this great and lasting
war" with War Bonds are plain.
Intangibly. we gain the emotional
steadiness that comes from clear
conscience, from knowing we have
done the best with dollars to back
up our men with guns. BY buying
and holding War Bonds, we share
in the fight, calm our own nerves,
starengthen our land, and further
more we prepare for peace by stor-
ing up money that later, when our
War Bonds mature, we can spend
for ourselves and our children at
time when peace shall have made
spending useful rather than weak
ening and foolish.
Of course the answer is yes! OF
course we must put our bottom
dollar and our last shirt into War
Bonds. just as we would if we were
being invaded instead of invading. /
George Washington patriotism
makes sense!"

Sacrifice For Profit
By BOOTH HARRINGTON
Author of The famous "Penrod" Stories

Invasion! What other word is so
continuously in our minds? If for
us today invasion meant the op-
pOsite of what it does mean-that
is, if America instead of Europe
were the direction taken by the
invasion-how would we be be-
having? How would we, for in
stance, be responding to the Uni
ted States Treasury's Fifth War
Loan drive?
OF course the answer is that if
America were being invaded we'd
be giving our bottom dollar and our
last shirt, because naturally we'd
rather save our skin than our
shirt.
George Washington said: Labor
to keep alive in your breast that
little spark of celestial fire, called
conscience" and. since nothing
said by the Father of his land our
Country should go unheeded, every
one of US might properly inquire of
our own consciences: Should we
now be lending to America all the
money that we would if mighty
invasion were rolling across the
Atlantic toward us, not away from
us?
In order to answer this question
another quotation from George
Washington may be Illuminating.
Our first President wrote of pa
triotism: "a great and lasting war
can never be supported OH this
principle (patriotism) alone. 1t

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
By ELEANoR NJ. WILKINSON
NusEItioniss fer The ssass Beard Of HsAIsh
CONSUMERS URGED TO USE
ABUNDANT FOODS

June 5th to 18th has been desig-
mated as Wilmington's FOOD
FIGHTS FOR FREEDOM weeks.
During this time the Food Indus
try Advisory Council Jointly chair
ed by Stanley B. Hearn and Har-
old Donnelly, and made up of rep
resentatives of the food industries,
is appealing to all Delaware con-
sumers to make their food fight for
freedom. The Council points out
that an easy way to fight the war
in ones own kitchen is to use the
more abundant foods and release
the pressure on those items which
are vitality needed at the battle
front and elsewhere. Delaware
schools are taking their part in the
campaign in different ways-Wil-
mington high school students are
organized to distribute literature
about abundant foods to grocers.
Art classes in some schools have
made attractive posters on FOOD
FIGHTS FOR FREEDOM-the
writer happened to see some very
nice ones displayed in Laurel.
School cafeterias have done much
good work on another facet of the
program. preventing food waste.
In the Wilmington area the fol-
lowing foods are abundant now or
will be in the next few days: eggs, /
old potatoes, onions, asparagus,
cereal products including bread,
fiours and breakfast cereals, sOya
products and lard. Recipes for us
ing most of these foods will be
available from the grocer and
smart homemakers, by introducing
delicious new dishes to their fam
lies, will make it possible to use
he same foods more often without
iring of them. Using more OF
