no comment on that" However. he
said he had talked with several
members of the national committee

not developed sufficiently for an

Glare Boothe Luce. one of six Con-

visited the Governor yesterday.
Mr.. Roosevelt may be the indis-
pensable man for the Democratic
party. but it seems to me that Mr..
Dewey is the inevitable man for
