UNDER THE DOME

Maddest man in the Republican party today is Congressman Charles Halleck of Indiana. Halleck con- sidered himself a leading candl- date for Vice President on the Re- publican ticket-until Governor Dewey passed him by. What Hal leck is so mad about is the way Dewey out-smarted him. Halleck admits that Dewey never promis- ed him the Vice Presidents job but some of Deweys hangers-o on did Halleck thought he was a grown-up politician until now Governor Dewey will begin his first nationwide tour of the Presiden- tial campaign on September l2 He will rest Gas much as possible) in New York state until then The "boys in the backroom" chart ing President Truman's renomina- tion drive in Philadelphia will be Democratic Chairman J. Howard McGrath, Federal Security Admin istrator Oscar Ewing and Under secretary of Interior Oscar Chap man.

ONE BLUNDER CORRECTED

The draft law that was signed by President 1ru- man may have some defects it corrects blunder made in wartime draft.
 It provides for deferment of young men engaged in scientific medical study or research And 1t can be taken for granted the President and the heads of the armed forces having learned bitter lesson in World War IT, will be generous in authorizing deferments of men the way to becoming scientists and technicans.
 During the war the British wisely deferred men engaged in scientific studies. So did the Russians We were not so forsghted, perhaps making the reck- less assumption that could live on our fat in respect to technologcal progress. AS result, our scientific laboratories have been handicapped in the postwar period, and still are, for lack of properly trained technical people in the leverage brackets
 Science is not ntrinsically more important than the social studies Medicine is not more important than law But from the special standpoint of the national security it is important to look to our young scientists including medical scientists than to other highly trained groups
 Deferment of medical and premedca students, however, should not be too broadly interpreted If there is shortage of physicians in coming years 1t will be the fault of medical colleges, not of any conscription policy. Since the medical schools have taken the responsibility for limiting the number of is no need to frame draft policy to encourage larger numbers of young men and women to study medicine.

Truman didn't discuss political fine points, except to say that he hoped the Teamsters' Union would continue to exert its influence for candidates friendly to labor" as it did during New Deal years.
 T realize I have been remiss in not calling on you and other respon ;ible labor leaders for advice more often" Truman halfway apoloGized, but I think you req lize l haven't had the time or opportunity to do this, due to the overwhelming obligation of other things, chiefly international af- fairs.
 Its going to be different from nov on, Dan,' he continued. and I want you to know that you are always welcome at the White House as long as am here. Your advice has always been welcomed in the past and I am sure that we will continue to operate on the old standard after November"
 Tobin didn't commit himself. But he did agree with Truman on one thing-that the last Congress should be blasted for blocking pub lie housing and other liberal mea- sures. Other than that, the Team sters boss made no promises.

Dan was a great friend and close adviser of FDR's.
 Last week Tobin's AFL cronies were particularly anxious to see him, and get the lowdown on his conference with President Truman. They knew Dan had suddenly been summoned" to the White House and they wanted to know whether Truman had been successful in bringing the rebellious teamster back into the Democratic fold
 However, Dan blew in and out of Washington as if he were trav- cling incognito. He saw no one except Truman.
 Reason was that the bigshot la bor leader was more than some what confused after the President, who desperately needs Tobin's sup port in his nomination and cleo tion drive, turned the ultraviolet charm ray on him during private audience
 Reason behind Tobin's White House summons of course was his press statement that AFL Presi- dent Bill Green wasn't speaking for the Teamsters Union when Green declared labor couldn't sup port the Republican Dewey Warren ticket Also the White House grapevine reported that Tobin was sore at Truman for not consulting with him, as did FDR.
 In the background also was the close kinship between Dave Beck, Tobin's top lieutenant on the West Coast, and Dewey's running mate, Earl Warren of California. The AFL Teamsters have always been in the Democratic column. but this year it looks like the West Coast branch. at least, will go Republican. due to the Warren influence.
