. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .
By s. BURTON HEATH

ALBANY - When Governor
Dewey denounced the c. l. o.
Political Action Committee the
other day, without naming it,
for criticizing the New York
soldier vote law, he was striking
at one phase of what many
Democrats may think may re-
elect President Roosevelt-the
commander-in- chief issue.
Democrats claim and Repub-
licans fear that the great bulk
of the uniformed vote will go
to the President because his
war leadership is considered a
known quantity while that of
Mr.. Dewey would have to be
taken on faith and hope. Sim
liar considerations may influ-
ence the votes of many stay
at-homes who have men in the
armed forces.
The Democratic campaign
will play that issue to the limit
in every ramification Chairman
Hannegan and his fellow strate-
gists can discover or devise in
hope of confirming servicemen
and their relatives in their sup
posed -Rooseveltism.

naments. Perhaps the reason
for this .isthat you can lose
match on one board. Thas hap
pened in one of last years
matches on the hand shown to-
day, which decided the finalists
in tn Masters team-of -four.
Had North stopped at six
hearts, his team would have won
the match by 20 points. 1t was
the last hand to be played, and
the unfortunate holder had TAX
en- the place of teammate who
had to catch train.
The opening lead was won by
declarer, who then cashed the
ace of trumps to guard against
a singleton queen winning. He
entered dummy to take the
heart finesse, and while it held,
the queen was still guarded and
had to be given up later.

Even the apartment house owner is going to bene-

Hiqh|iqhts from Latest Books

"Strange Fruit" by Lillian
Smith (Reynal & Hitchcock:
$2.75), is novel by a southern
err who, without making outright
apology for the shortcomings of
her homeland, presents its eter-
nal problem of the color line
without pulling her punches.
Strange Fruit" is the strange
love story of an educated, SEN
sitive and beautiful mulatto, and
a young white man who lacks
the fortitude to fight the unwrit-
ten law. The affair. which is
doomed from the beginning, per-
sists until it is crushed out in a
bitter and dramatic conclusion.
The characters, white and black,
narrow and noble, are carefully
drawn, and the darkening mood
of the book is powerfully con-
veyed. Gripping, If not cheerful,
reading.
It is difficult to appraise such
a book as "Frossia" (Harcourt,
Brace), because it presents so
many literary facets to the re-
viewer. 1t would be unfair to E.
M. Almedingen, who wrote it,
to say only that it is an excel
lent perturbation Of Russia aft
err the Bolshevik revolution, for
that would de emphasize the
central character.
By the same token. it would
be dishonest to say that it is
the story of Frossia, for that
would ignore the dozens of 9TH
er characters introduced tot dem
onstrate that the fall Of the Ro-
maneffs meant all things to all
men.
Therefore il becomes the story
Of the big and little people and
how they reacted to the Revo-
luton. The reader primarily is
concerned with Frossia "a di-
minutive of the name Euphrosy-
MIA - who was not sympathetic
TO the revolt of the common peo-
pie, but who was sufficiently in
terested in life to see how II
would turn out. That was more
than the remai nder Of her
wealthy. aristocratic family car
ed 10 do. They had yielded to
GRANDMOTHER suggestion that
the time for suicide had come.
They all had been convinced
that there was nothing left for
them. Frossia, on the other hand,
was sure there was and she fled
from her home in Kiev to find
out in the city Of Petrograd.
There she found she had little
patience with the die-hards of
her own class. At the same time
she convinced herself that she
was worlds apart from the Boil
shevists and what they were
trying 10 do. Against those forces
she had to pit her charm, brains,
beauty and her love of life.
There are those who could
help, people like Nikolasha, who
had been a wealthy merchant
and now was a baker; Igor Vlad-
imirovich, peasant who had
outgrown his humble brit h.
There are those, too, who only
strengthened Frossia's resolve to
keep going on, like Captain
Parnikov and his wife. couple
who had merely existed after
the monarchy collapsed.
They and many others help
Miss Almedingen 10 write a
well-rounded story Of her ma
tive land. The author, herself an
emigre, apparently has cast
Frossia in her own mold. For
here are two women who can
find something good in a con-
dition that has disrupted their
lives.

STRANGE BEDFELLoW

Snoke.fed rooms are nothing new in our Po-
IitcoI life. The heavy hands Of men with votes or
money to deliver have often tipped the scales at both
porties' conventions But certainly nobody ever CLOS
sfied such proctses among the Prettier ornaments
Of our political system
These proctises weren't any prettier at the 1874
Democratic convention simply because it was big
labor rather than big business or big-eity political
bases that played the dominant role The I. l. u
Political Action Committee was new on the scene
this wear and promising millions Of votes, was pow
erfuI Its role was not unexpected and might have
excited no particular comment except tor one un-
scrupuIous element it had collected.
This element is the "Iote" Communist Party Lost
winter the Communists in sudden burst OF en-
thusiosm for democracy dissolved their political en-
titv and moved into the New York State American
Labor Party, potent organization which carried the
state for President Roosevelt in l94O They were led
into the A. L. P. by Sidney Hi|lnon, and the move
split the party.
Mr.. HInon is also head man Of the c. !. O.
Political Action Committee, which is as hard to sep
orote from A. |. p activities paper from wo'.
His Communist activities ontedote the A. l. P split
by many years. for his interest in and obvious SYM
pothy for the movement ore almost os old as the
Russian revolution.
Under these circumstances, it must be ennborros-
sino to many Democrats that Mr.. HiIImon took the
pIoy away from the FIynns, Hoeues, KeIlys and the
solid south at Chicago, and spoke the deciding word
in the vice presidential selection. 1t must have en-
borrossed Mayor Frank Hague Of Jersey City, otter
his long, demoeoeie feud with the Communists, first
to receive their blessing and then find himself re-
spectfuIIy consulting one of their close associates
Obviously it was embarrassing to the vice pres
ident of the United States and two members Of the
Presidents cabinet, who, Peter Edison revealed in
an Illuminating convention story, rode freight ee-
votors and sneoked up back stors to confer with
the G. |. O.-P A. c. leaders,
1t must even be embarrassing to the President
and his running mate to be beholden to group
which hos incorporated into itself the neveride Com
nunsts who heckled and picketed the President and
dangerously INSTRUCTED our preparation before
Germany ottocked Russia
And it must distress the ma orty Of {. l. 0. men,
bers or any American Of either pory, for thot mat
ter to see such on alien, devious, unpredictoble,
devilishIy clever organization to nfuentiolIy mixed
up with convention in which its interest is only
expedent.

Behind the screen: Stories OF
motion picture censorship con-
tinue to amaze us. Here's the
latest. One of the studio repre-
sentatives took a batch of stills
from a. western movie to the
Hays office for approval. All
were passed except one, photo
graph of a dance hall girl appar-
emily pulling the hero up a
flight of stairs in a western bis
tro.r
1--WE can't approve this" said
the Hays office man. Too sug-
gestive."
Nov wait minute" said the
quick thinking studio man.
Look more closely. She's not
pulling him up the stairs. He's
pulling her DOWN the stairs"
The censorship fellow looked
again. Guess you're right" he
said. He stamped Approved"
on the back of the photo and
commented, I'VE gotta watch
things like this"
Untrue, no doubt, but hilar-
ious is the story going the
rounds about the overseas enter
tainment tour of the Battling
Bogarts. BY their own admis-
sion, Humphrey and Mayo battle
more than any other happily
married couple in Hollywood.
During their tour Of Italy they
lived for several days in a bomb
damaged hotel in Naples. The
place was practically falling
apart but the Army had taken it
over as the best available under
the circumstances. After six
days in the war-torn hotel, ac-
cording to the story, the Bogarts
were handed bill by the Army
for damage done to their room!
GATEMEN UNIFORM CRAZY
You'll be reading any day now
about a soldier, sailor or Marine
taking a poke at a film studio
gateman. It's funny it hasn't
happened already. 1t is the gate
mans job, of course, to keep the
unlimited, even service men, out
of the studios. But with so many
service films in production these
days, many Of the extras and
bit players who pass in and out
of studio gates are wearing blue
of Khaki. It's impossible to tell
the real thing from the movie
version. Puzzled studio gatemen
have resorted to asking, Are
you real?"
News was dull the other day
so one of the filmtown press
agents dreamed up yarn that
his client, famous dancing
star, had a collection Of 20 pairs
of dancing shoes from the
worlds most famous terpsichor-
can artists. The story got a nice
break in the newspapers. Then
a representative from one OF the
photo syndicates telephoned,
saving he'd like 10 photograph
the collection. The frantic and
embarrassed press agent said he
would call back later. The last
we heard Of the guy he was 60
ing around the neighborhood

Dewey's refusal to 60 along on
the federal ballot for service
men is being exploited. Here,
thus far, the c. /. o. left wing
pro-Roosevelt organization APP
pears to be doing most of the
ball carrying. 1t is Governor
Dewey's contention that the
Citizens Non-partisan Com
mittee for the Servicemen's
Vote" is a C. /. o. left wing front
with a thin window-dressing of
Democrats and anti-Dewey Re-
publicans.
METHOD PROVIDED
IN NEW YORK
New York state has 100000
men and women in the armed
forces. For them, contending
that the federal ballot could not
legally be counted under the
state constitution, Governor
Dewey and the Republican leg
isl, ture provided a simple
method of voting.
All that the serviceman need
do is send to Albany, direct or
through family or friends, his
name, his pre-service street ad-
dress ( to determine his election
diStrict-and his service ad-
dress to which the ballot is to
be mailed.
He will be sent exactly the
same ballot he would use if he
were voting at home, which he
is 10 mark and mail back to AL
bany, whence it will be sent to
the voters home election district
for counting.
Last year $4,000 New York
servicemen asked for ballots
and $4,000 of them actually
voted-tWo out of three. The
state war ballot commission es-
Inmates that 100000 of New
York's absent servicemen are
under age; some are aliens and
others will not trouble to apply.
If 100000 should ask for bal
lots, the commission would ex-
pect, on the basis of last years
result, about 100000 votes.
In a close election that
number could easily decide
whether New York's AZ elector-
al votes shall go to President
Roosevelt or Governor Dewey.
Mr.. Dewey lost the governorship
in 1888 by 64,394, and Herbert
Hoover carried New York in
1923 by only 3,48l votes.
IT'S DYNAMITE, THAT'S
WHAT 1T is!
What is considered more i'm
portant-if the Democratic C.
l. o. coalition could persuade
all servicemen and their fami-
lies and friends that Governor
Dewey, fearing the service vote,
is trying to keep soldiers and
sailors from voting, their action
might easily decide the result
in several other states.
For that reason Governor
Dewey is trying to get across
his contention that it is as easy
for New York servicemen to
vote under his law as under the
federal; and that whereas there
can be no question about the
legality of votes cast under his
law, federal ballots might be
tossed out.
He claims that, for the sake
Of embarrassing him, the c. l. 0.
Political Action Committee,
through a front, is perpetrating
a fraud upon the soldiers and
sailors by trying to hand them
the federal ballot.
In time of war a court might
hesitate to toss out soldiers
ballots because they did not in
clude every office at stake in
the soldiers home districts, but
only the four offices for which
the federal ballot provides.
The c.. /. o. says, Take a
chance" Governor Dewey says,
Lets be sure that those who
do vote shall have their ballots
