Dewey's Strategy Mentioned.
There were several references
during the evening to Gov. Dewey,s
oft-repeated statements that he il
not a candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination.
Frank E. Tripp Of the Gannett
newspapers said In opening the dim
ner that four years ago "a galaxy OF
Republican presidential timber" was
present. He said 1t included the
ultimate nominee, Wendell l.. WILL
kie, whom he did not mention by
name but who he said declared che

Mr.. Tripp observed that there was
a certain New Yorker with black
mustache who up to now is declar-
ing the same thing" and he added
that seems to be the way to get 1t. ;

Because of our speed, the Japs think

Several correspondents were al
lowed to send the story" Admiral
Merrill added. "And without sup
pressing the news or distorting the
facts, we were able to keep vital in
formation from the enemy. AS far
as we know, and perhaps largely as
a result of these stories, the Japs are
learning only now that, at that par
ticular time, we were having to do
so much with so little.

elusive story in order to use his news

NEW YORK, April %. - The
American Newspaper Publishers
Association concluded ns annual
convention yesterday With q session
high lighted by the re-election of
Linwood I. Noyes as president and
an attack by Elisha Hanson, ANPA
counsel, on the recent Supreme
Court decision in the Los Angeles
newsboy case.
It will be the second term for Mr..
Noyes, publisher of the Ironwood
(Mich0 Daily Globe. All other of
ficers also were reelected. G. F..
McCahill of the Cleveland News
was named a director, succeeding
Howard Davis Of the New York Her
ald-Tribune, who retired after serv-
ing Is years as an officer and
director.
Mr.. Hanson declared the Supreme
Court ruling in the newsboy case
''in effect held that If group of
persons heretofore universally ac-
cepted as independent contractors
require protection projection shall
be given them as employees"
Effect Called Fantastic.
The court decided, 8 to /, that
full-time vendors of newspapers, at
regular spots, were employees under
the National Labor Relations Act
and, therefore, entitled to collective
bargaining" SIS
This strikes "at the very founda-
ton on which the small business
man of this country has operated"
Mr.. Hanson said, adding that "the
effect of such decision, If carried
to Its logical conclusion in other
fields, Is almost fantastic"
The publishers also:

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's broad
outline of O postwar world, in which
the big four" of the United Nations
would initiate an adequately EN-
forced peace, won the approval OF
most congressional Republicans to-
day, but found the Democrats criti-
cal of what they called a campaign
speech.
The New York Governors speech
before the American Newspaper
Publishers Association in New York
last night, was his first comprehen-
sive foreign policy statement since
he became the leading collector OF
Republican presidential delegates
and he may have pointed the way
toward new COP answer for the
Democratic contention that expe-
rienced national leaders should be
kept in office in these critical times
Republicans generally called Gov
Dewey's proposals realistic" and
sensible" Democrats contended he
offered nothing new, but was bidding
indirectly for the Republican presi-
DENTAL nomination despite state
ments that he is not candidate.
White Praises Speech.
Acting Senate Minority Leader
White said he believed Gov. Dewey
had shown critics that ''he is alive
to, the Importance of international
problems and to the necessity of
international cooperation to pre-
serve future peace"
Senator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan said he was impressed with
the realistic view" the Governor
took in asserting that political, eco
nomic and social dissimilarities to
Russia need not bar practical CO.
operation with that country toward
preserving future peace.
