poIiiits Are Taking Queer Twist In Washington; Senator Ives for Dewey; Freshmen" Get Urges
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Jan 21.-Sena tor Irving M. Ives tR-NY), Saic today a months firsthand obser- vation of Washington politics has strengthened his support of Gov Thomas E. Dewey for the 194t Republican Presidential nomina- ton Dewey, the party's 1914 nominee has turned away questions about his future aspirations. He ano Ives elected on the same ticket last November, have worked togeth- CT politically for years, but there were indications last year that Ives was not the New York Governors first choice for Senator.
 Ives told reporter that while he and Dewey may not always agree on some of the issues that come before the Senate, T am backing him for the nomination because l believe he is a, big man who is capable of doing a good job as President"
 Ives comment came as Republi- can leaders threw overheard an old Senate custom with an invitation to l6 freshmen" members to pitch into debate
 This loosened an unwritten gag" rule that in the past has kept most first termers silent for months while they learned their way around.
 It affects group that includes not only Ives. but some potential candidates for places on the par tvs AS National ticket such as Sen ator Bricker (R-Ohio) as well as highly vocal supporters of others. Senator White of Maine, the COP floor manager, told a reporter the Republican leadership is encourag- ing new members to speak up in meeting.
 We are trying to get Republl- cans better organized than they have ever been before" White said. The way to get cooperation is to have full participation and we've asked the new members to carry their share of the burden in work ing for legislation
 While White and other leaders emphasized they want help on leg islation, the Freshmen" apparently will be under no more obligation than their veteran colleagues to confine their remarks strictly to the subject at hand.
 Whites invitation found the new Republicans generally willing to join in the verbal battling in the Senate, but reluctant to be the first to break the ice.
 Bricker took the plunge yester- day, however, in a short speech supporting the COP organization $ effort to continue the special wal Investigating committee.
