what his wishes in the matter, Tom
Dewey faces the cold fact that
Congress will be In session while
he is campaigning for the presi-

will be speech-making and voting
on measures and establishing rec
ords--and that he dare not ignore,
oppose or reject that record. From
this standpoint, a conference with
the Republicans In the Senate, not
individually but collectively, on the
issues with which they will be
dealing during these campaign
months. would be as important as,
but more essential than, the Gov

will be campaigning and President
Roosevelt will continue to tour

Stories have been creeping into the
newspapers that the Republican con-

administration partisan writers
chose that not unusual political line.
The London Times, which always
assumes itself to be the British en-

But this is a usual technique In
his campaigning, the imposition OF
an atmosphere of disbursement
upon his opposition.
SUMMARIZE CHANCES
A factual reporting job on this
convention, however. will give you a
different picture. II you will probe
the state and sectional leaders for
their honest opinions, you will find
the situation somewhat like this:
