The Hutts literally breathe, eat and sleep politics, although dis counting an intention to stump the state for Gov. Dewey if he is nom- mated by the Republicans at the Chicago convention this month.
 We are not public speakers" the 6e-year-old Hut, retired railroad man, explains. We will serve in quite different way" {.
 When he Isn't home with his ear tuned to the radio for any scraps of news about his famous racket busting son-in-law, the immaculate ly dressed Hut walks the nine blocks from his home to the main downtown business street to chat with his friends-and the subject is invariably politics.
 Lead Simple Life
 They studiously check all of the newspapers and magazines for arti- cles mentioning the Deweys.
 The Hutts lead the quiet, simple life of the typical American small town. They live in the neatly kept five-room frame cottage they pur- chased when they moved to Sapul- pa, from Sherman. Tex. in 1914. h. side, 1t radiates simplicity with fam- fly heirlooms and antiques.
 Mrs. Hut, a member of the pro- minent Davis family of Texas, counts as one of her ancestors the Civil War Confederate President, Jefferson Davis. Her husband, born in Iowa, traces his ancestry back through the Pilgrims to Charle- magne.
 Mrs. Dewey. the former Frances Eileen Hut. began her music car- ger at a young age. She began singing at church ice cream socials and other functions. And 1t was her music career that led to her meeting Tom Dewey in New York. He, too, was an aspiring singer and they found their interests very sim liar. They were married in 1928.
 The Hutts visit the Deweys sev- eral times year, mostly at the per- manent home of New York's Cover nor and his lady, "Daplemere," a l2-room Georgian farmhouse in Duchess county. New York.

 Mir. Alderman also testified that the Elm City concern did not haul petroleum products for any one other than the Colonial company in September, 1943. Several letters written by the Massachusetts firm to the Elm City company were in- troduced as exhibits. The witness stated, however, that he was not in possession of any written contract with the other company.

 Mrs. Hut enjoys shopping. social events, opera, art galleries and the small teas given by her daughter when a guest in New York. Her husband prefers the historic sights of the metropolis.
 They are quick to explain, lest their longtime friends here think they have gone "big town"
 Those trips are nice, but we still prefer to live in a small town. We will continue to live in Sapulpa."
 They described themselves as tex tremely happy to sit in the gallery at Albany when their son-in- Jaw became Governor of New York.
 We would be just as happy to sit in the gallery at an inaugura- ton at Washington" Hut adds.

A Season Of Surprises
And Still More TO Come
Government Control of Railroads and
National Service Act Complete Surprise
In Many Quarters.
BY BAUKHAGE
NetCs ANALYST and Comment

Anyhow, 40 friend of mine,
aghast at the suddenness of the seiz-
ure Of the roads. remarked:
do you realize this? Overnight,
instead Of being the object Of all at
tacks for babying labor, the Presi-
dent suddenly is in the position now
of defending the people against la
bor?"
That was the quick reaction Of q
technical man to whom politics is
only an interesting sideline.
When the Presidents message
was droned out by the reading clerk
in congress and the President came
to point five in his five-point legisla-
tive program, there was a sharp in.
take of breaths You recall the first
reaction. Hardly anything but a
frigid reception for the suggestion
for what was Immediately called
'the labor draft"
CyRics' Reactions
Then came the cynical observa
ton Of the anti-administration poll
ticians. II sounded little like the
comment of my first-quoted observ-
er except that it was favored more
heavily with party tabasco.
Pure politics" they sneered. He
had no labor program. He knew it.
So now he losses the hottest con-
troversial question on the boards
labor draft-into congress. He prob
ably hopes we won't pass it. If we
don't, he'll say: See. give them a
labor program and they turn me
DOWN.
Well, there are the two surprises
which are scheduled to breed others
in their trail, and you and every.
body else will interpret them in
terms of your or their prejudices,
sharpened to a knife-edge Of devo-
ton or hatred in this year of the
ballot.
What is really behind these two
sharp and unexpected moves? It is
pretty hard to be really objective.
Anyone who has watched political
campaigns in the making. has
hard time not to attribute partisan
motive to any act or word spoken
in Washington in an election year.
As far as taking the railroads over
goes, that might have been prompt
ed by a real and honest fear that
transportation would have been in
terfered with at moment when it
was as vital to the war effort as
division of fighting men. What pos
sible excuse could there be for let
ting such thing happen?
Again, whether or not there was
to be strike, there was a strike
threat. At the same moment, there
was strike threat in another vital
industry-steel That was called of

less IMr. Murray could have been
told: Remember, the chances of
acceptance of your demands by the
steel men will be a lot better if
they are afraid the government will
take their industry over too. The
railroads are a warning"
And then, if you want to take one
highly unofficial explanation from q
nobody as far as officialdom goes,
but from a man who has fought in
his own little sphere for things he
believes in, I'll throw it in for good
measure.
The comment was applied to the
Presidents call for national serv-
ice act, not the seizure of the roads.
but it applies to both. This observ-
er observed:
Politics? No. The guy just wants
to win the war;"
And come to think of it, that might
have had something to do with it
too

Notes From a
Broadcoster's Diary

The following two viewpoints re-
ceived recently are interesting. Here
is the first:
Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude except as punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted shall exist with
in the United States or any place
subject to their jurisdiction. from
the Constitution of the United States.
The. President swore to uphold the
ConStitution-the national service
act or the labor draft is involuntary
servitude or human slavery. That's
what he called it in Berlin and Tokyo
and he wants it here. What are we
lighting for?
And now for the second viewpoint!
General Eisenhower said we can
win the war in 1914 but everyone
must do his part.
Something must be wrong some
where for him to say that. He knows
it is not the armed forces. So it
must be on the home front. For the
armed forces operate on a function
al Augmentation commanding Of
ficer down, orders are given and
obeyed. Servicemen cannot bargain
with their commanders as to wages,
hours, fighting conditions or make
contracts on cost-plus basis. Their
objective is to win battles.
But on the home front, the objec-
tive is to make money (see Truman
Report. Ships, planes. tanks and
guns are secondary.
We can have a functional opera
ton at home by installing total con-
scription of men. machines, materi-
al and money.
These boys were conscripted to
die. Then why not conscript the
ones at home? If it's good enough
for the armed forces, it's good
enough for the rest of US.
Who can say he is entitled to
more?

Blames 'Boogie Woogie"

Boogie woogie is the greatest single factor contri-
buting to the delinquency and war degeneracy" of
American youth asserts Arthur Rodzinsk director of
the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.
DR.. Rodznski, it may be argued is somewhat
preudiced in the matter but his opinion should carry
some weight on account of his as conductor
he admits that the further 1--WE gets ou of this world
the better it will be-
1t may be that the hep cats and the rug cutters
are caused by 1--WE but suspect it is the other way
around The demand for this type of music may be
the result rather than the cause
After all, however, there is no reason to become
excited The same denunciaton occurred when other
forms OF popular music appeared and yet the human
race has not gone to the dogs.

Arbitrary Date Suggested

The Senate Finance committee has agreed to termi-
nate the contracts renegotation act December
81 1914 with the President having power to terminate
the legislation six months before six months after
the date depending upon the restoration of competitive
conditions
The fixing of an arbitrary date, close upon the
existence of hosttes, that the government will
nave deadine and that it may be physically impossible
to consider all before the act expires This would
be satisfactory of course to contractors who do not de-
sire any renegoation but it would not be suitable to
the American people who should have something to say
about their own interests
