COP Nominee S Knack
In Settling Discord
Shown in St. Louis
PART ii

CTILL another thing like about Tom Dewey IS
- his remarkable ability and willingness to probe
controversial matters for points of agreement,
rather than to tolerate discord through permitting
heated discussion of points of disagreement. Last
July, when the &c Republican governors met at ST.
Louis. to talk over subjects of mutual Importance,
witnessed striking demonstration of this trait
AS was only natural, there were many diver
gent opinions on many of the great domestic prob
lens under discussion. 1t would have been the
easiest thing in the world for such conference 10
degenerate into acrimonious debate over these
opposing views. -. ~. =.
But Tom Dewey, as chairman, knowing that
in principle we were of one mind, had the sklll
to direct the discussions along lines that brought
us into unanimous agreement on the fundamental
principles of every one of our problems, AS re.
suit we left ST. Louis at the end of AZ hours, OF
which about 80 had been devoted to conference IN
absolute accord and without any ruffied feelings
During all these hours, Gov. Dewey presided. 1t
was great job.

Dewey's Human Touch

By maintaining what we used to call "the
human touch, he knows people all over the United
States, little people and big people And they know
him. In Chicago one morning he stopped to buy
magazine from an old lady, She recognized him
and struck up conversation.
He became so engrossed in what she had to
say that we fairly had to pull him away to keep
an appointment of national Importance. Long
surprised and delighted exclamation, There he
gQes~ as he walks along street.

Hears All Sides Of Story

Another thing like about Tom Dewey is his
frankness to admit, without shame or apology
when he doesn't know the answer to some question
under discussion. His favorite approach IS:
"Well, what's the story" >,
He always wants to hear your side OF the
about the question than the other fellow, but he
can free his mind of personal opinions and ex-
anime any topic from all points of view In this he
differs from some men who are forever torn by
fears and doubts until they are unable to see
clearly or reach DECISIONS and from others who
are so cocksure they know the answers before the
questions are asked
Dewey is willing to open his mind because he
has supreme confidence, not that he knows the
answers, but that he can get the answers from
people who do know. Public affairs are complex
and difficult. Such quality is an essential at
States. is faced frequently with the necessity of
making intricate, delicate decisions of profound
consequences.

In all the metropolitan turmoil which sur
rounded him, he never lost the humanizing in
fluenceS of his small town origin. | admire him
for that He married charming talented girl
from small towns in Oklahoma and Texas; her
name was Frances Eileen HUT and she had gone
to New York to establish herself in the musical
world. They now have two lively sons, aged II
and g.
Such background precludes Tom Dewey
from ever having provincial turn of mind. Early
life in Midwest country town; education in the
public schools and the university of his state;
working with his hands; life partner from small
towns of the great southwest-these, as well as
his experiences in the metropolis of New York and
as chief executive of the most populous state in
the Union, would make it impossible for him ever
to have sectional viewpoint.

make this point because a provincial mind is
not fitted to guide the destiny of the United States
this country is too big and too complicated Tom
Dewey perhaps better than any man of my ac-
quaintance, has lived roundly and fully. His up
intimate knowledge of many layers Of society and
many types of human problems, And still he is
eager to learn more.

Resists Temptation

am lawyer. So is Tom Dewey. We have
both devoted years to the prosecution OF crime and
corruption in the public service. know how diff
cult that work is. So perhaps / appreciate most
his ability to resist what some people might con-
slider legitimate temptation.
At the expiration of his term as district attOr-
ney he could have capitalized financially upon his
reputation and experience. He had countless OPP
portunities to do So With the fame that sur
rounded him, with his intimate knowledge Of the
inside operations of the prosecutors office, with
the cringng respect in which he was held by the
underworld, he could, had he desired, have be-
come Enthusiastically wealthy in a short time
Yet he didn't. He continued to devote him
self to the much less lucrative field of public
service
Not long before we were elected to our
present Offices, he as governor of New York and
as governor of California, | heard this question
raised by a mutual acquaintance. 1t was the only
time ever saw Dewey even momentarily grope
for the right words
81 just couldn't do it," he said after slight
pause. 81 wouldn't feel right about it. 1t wouldn't
be playing fair"
knew what he meant and admired him ire
mendously for it.
Tom Dewey's knowledge of crime and rackets
and the ways of evildoers was not for sale except
to the public.
We were standing at the time on a busy corr
ner in the roaring heart of Manhattan, but some
how that old, expressive western saying drifted
into my mind once more.
Yes Tom Dewey, / thought, you are indeed ga
good man to have along"

Part of this of course is his national fame.
But part Of it is sheer human magnetism. In any
crowd, your eyes go first to Tom Dewey. he
radiates an aura Of leadership
Yet he can take criticism in good spirit. At
one meeting we attended, Dewey, who was pre-
siding, expressed very decided opinion. After
ward, he asked whether | thought he had acted
wisely. l said candidly:
II thought it was badly timed"
He glanced at me oddly, smiled dryly.
You're wrong" he said. ut was stupid"

l imagine some of this willingness to listen
and Judge came from his early life as cub re-
porter on his fathers newspaper in smalltown IN
Michigan. He worked there until he was 16; then,
for year, was hired hand on farm
At IT, he had saved enough from his earnings
to put himself through the first year of the Uni
versity of Michigan, from which he was graduated
in 1928 In two years more partly by his own
earnings, he had completed law school at Columbia
University in New York City, and set out to make
a name for himself in the largest community in the
western hemisphere. How spectacularly he sue
ceeded is living history
