CAN FDR BE BEATEN?
HAS DEWEY A CHANCE?
By PAUL MALLON

Dewey a chance? Stories have
been creeping into the newspapers
that the Republican convention
had a defeatist spirit. The adj
ministration partisan writers chose
that not unusual political line.
The London Times, which al
ways assumes itself to be the
ABritish empire, has editorially de-
Drided Republican chances, but
this also may reflect personal
interest. The Times may wish to
continue the Churchill Roosevelt
dealings into postwar.
Yet aside from these interest
inspired stories, there is rather
wide prevailing awe of the Roose-
welt tendency to control every
thing, respect for his great
powers, and naturally he is doing
nothing to discourage that inter-
probation.
But this is a usual technique
in his campaigning, the imposition
of an atmosphere of discourage
ment upon his opposition.
SUMMARIZE CHANCES
A factual reporting job on this
convention, however, will give you
a different picture. If you will
probe the state and sectional lead
ers for their honest opinions, you
will find the situation somewhat
like this:
The Pacific coast regions are
doubtful or pro-Roosevelt as a
whole today. Oregon gives Dewey
his best Coast chance. Important
California will be especially diff
cult without Warren on the ticket.
i would count it Democratic. In
the Rocky Mountain regions, the
Republicans think they can carry
Wyoming and Idaho surely, prob
ably also Arizona and New Mexico
4but expect to lose Montana, Utah
and possibly Nevaoa. livestock
trouble is a main factor in the
Mountain states, influx of mil
lion war workers in California;
But the farm states. all of
them are considered the best
Republican ground in the coun-
try. the Go has been too much
out here. and the conduct of the
war. economically has been un-
popular. Kansas is in better
Republican shape today than
ever in its history.
Iowa is considered almost GER
tain. the Illinois Republican or
ganization definitely promises
this. Indiana is more doubt
full due to a factional Republi-
can split. but few count il for
Roosevelt. Bricker has a good
chance TO carry Ohio.
Republicans think Dewey can
beat Roosevelt in New York.
Pennsylvania is truly doubtful
as is Massachusetts. But Republi-
cans have the edge elsewhere in
the East outside of Rhode Island.
New Jersey is debatable but on
the anti-Roosevelt side.
SOUTH TO DEMOCRATS
No one expects anything Repub-
llcan from the South in the end.
Where, then, do these people de-
rive the conclusion Roosevelt is
clnch, that Republicans are de-
feated? Obviously only out of their
own heads.
Give Dewey and Roosevelt an
even break west of the wheat
corn belts. count the farm states
Republican. the South Demo-
cratic and you must reach the
conclusion that the election will

munities in central and eastern
states. That is where the fight
will be. Whoever carries them

CONCLUSION thai the election will
turn on the big industrial COM.
munities in central and eastern
states. That is where the fight
will be. Whoever carries them
will win this election.
. 1t is all u2 to Dewey. He is en-

On Fighting Duty

The United States has 5,223 900
fighting men afloat or on foreign
duty. it was made known today after
the Navy Department added to Sec
retary of War Stimson's revelation
of the strength of Army units
abroad by announcing that 1856 900
sailors, Coast Guardsmen and ma
rines were actively in the war.
Mr.. Stimson said yesterday that
Army units outside the continental
United States now totaled 3,657 900
men, or only few hundred thou
sand less than the whole World War
American Army, both at home and
abroad.
The Navy said that in addition
to the forces at sea and abroad,
100000 men either were in training
or in transit for sea or foreign duty.
The Navy statistics we're as of April
l. Total naval strength as of that
date, 1t was revealed, was 3,277,000
men.
In his statement, Mr.. Stimson
gave a broad indication that the
greater part of the Army's force is
concentrated against Germany. De-
velopments, he said, will make it
necessary to shift portions of the
overseas strength from one part of
the world to another as the Allied
grand strategy unfolds.

In Universal Democracy
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 2.-Mrs. Frank

Americans are not safe so long as
democracy does not exist in other
parts of the world.
Addressing 1000 persons at the

connection with the biennial con-

Roosevelt said:
1T is not enough to preserve here
our democratic principles, " not
enough to think that because we
can keep them here that they are
safe in the rest of the world. =
Liberty is something that cannot be
divided-either all people have lib
erty or the liberty of all people is in
jeopardy"
If anything better is to come out OF
the war. Mrs. Roosevelt said, I'VE
must make some changes ourselves.
We have to really want the kind
of world where people can be free,
where people can be friends"

Alec's shoulder and put him to bed
Next morning, after a silent break.
fast, Colin said, "If you're able tc
walk, Wen go over to Olsen's cabin.
Alec looked anxious. Hes not
alone. There's another trapper
staying with him."
But Colin was already putting o.
his parka.
Olsen and his partner were smok-
ing in their cabin when, without
knocking, Colin threw open the
door. At sight of Collins face, Olsen
pushed back his chair and scrambled
to his feet.
"You beat up my partner yester-
day." Colin spoke only to Olsen.
The trapper glanced at Alec and
laughed. "By the looks of him,
sure did," Leaning back against
the wall, his fingers reached out for
the heavy shovel standing by the
stove. His close-set eyes were be-
ginning to redden. MAYBE you
came over to make something OF
it."
But Olsen's fingers never touched
the shovel. Colin struck once, the
trapper's head snapped back, and
he crumpled down beside the stove.
His partner covered in a corner.
Don't" he began.
Colin shook his head. "T'm not
going to hurt you. But when Olsen
can listen, tell him Alec and l are
still trapping the Upper Nelson"
Outside, Colin examined his
skinned knuckles, then turned to
Alec. while we're here, we'd bet
ter let DR.. Benedict have a look at
your shoulder" Swapping on their
snowshoes, they cut across the lake
toward the school.
An hour later, as they crossed the
clearing, Colin saw Tenants wolf
team, harnessed outside Benedict
cabin, and for a moment he hest
tated. If Nate were visiting Blair
now. it might be bad time to break
the news of fight with Tenants
trapper. Yet it was too late TO turn
back. Already the wolves had sig
nailed his coming, and Nate was
waving his hand from the doorway
"Alec," Colin said, go over to
the hospital and show DR.. Benedict
that shoulder. I'll pick you up later.
I'd rather tell Nate what happened
this morning than have Olsen do it"
Tenant was waiting at the cabin
door, the hood Of his parka thrown
back and the mackinaw shirt open
over his great hairy chest

whats up?"
Without rancor, Colin told him
about Olsen, while Tenant listened
with a puzzled frown and Colin
waited for the outburst that might
mean war.
Instead, Tenant remained
frowningly thoughtful; and. when
Colin finished, Nate asked, "Is Alec
hurt bad?"
81 don't think So"
Good" Again he frowned.
