BACK5TAGE TALK
 ABOUT CONVENTION
lBy The Associated Pressl


 Now that Dewey is in, let's see what the other hopefuls thins about the convention and it's de- velopments.
 The Monday morning quarter backs-the key men of the con- vention-size it up this way. Dew ey's rivals could not all win If they had got together on one man to oppose Dewey, they pro- bably could have stopped the New York Governor just short of the victory line. But they didn't.
 The bandwagon started to roll Tuesday when Senator Ed Martin bowed out as Pennsylvania's fav- orite son and carried fl votes into the Dewey camp. That convinced lot of people that the other candidates were licked unless they pooled their strength behind just one of their number.
 But they didn't even do that They kept hoping last night Then the telephone rang in a hotel room just five minutes before the night session of the conven- ton was to begin. It was Taft. He wanted to notify the others that he was stepping out. Why: The Senator said it was a matter of simple arithmetic Dewey had the votes.

Special Session Call
Assumed by Lane 10
Raise State Salaries
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, April 23-Gov. Lane
said yesterday he assumed" spe-
cial session of the General Assembly
will have to be called if salaries of
State employees are to be increased
He referred to legal obstacles
tossed in the way of pay raises in
1916 which resulted in an extraordi-
nary session of the General As
sembly.
At that time increases were au-
thorized in September, with the in
tentioh of appropriating necessary
funds at the 1947 regular session.
Legal action was threatened, how
ever, and the Legislature was called
back in December to approve emer-
gency appropriations.
Before deciding whether to call
a session, the Governor said he will
study report from the Department
of Budget and Procurement on
State Finances. That is expected
within a week or 10 days.
Then he will discuss other pos
sible legislative needs with General
Assembly leaders.
Meanwhile, the impression con-
tinued to grow around the State
house that there will be a special
session to increase the salaries, but
no one was saying when.
Some guesses were for the last
week in May or the firse week in
June.
If the session is called, its main
purpose will be to appropriate be-
tween $2,O00000 and $2,5000O0 to
increase the pay of State workers.
1t was a virtual certainty that
various departments would come in
to ask for more money for other
