Transfer Of Control

If Dewey Is Elected
Advisers Believed Paving

By J. A. OLeoy
Stor Stcff CORRESPONDENT

ALBANY, Sept. 14.-1f Gov

plished more smoothly than in
any previous change of admin

/. This would be the first time q
new President took over on January
20, instead of waiting until March 4
2. Gov. Dewey's expert advisers
are believed to be preparing for tht
task by keeping themselves as vel
informed as possible on the current
problems of Government that will
require prompt action in the mex
session of Congress.
The men close to the New Yort
Governor are reluctant to talk abou
post t-election plans when the cam
paign is just getting under way
inquiries are met with the cautious
comment that it is too early to tall
of such matters. But those whit
know how the Dewey team operate
believe it is taking advantage o
these pre-campaign days to acquain
itself with the job that will lii
ahead in the event of victory. Fou
years ago, there was not so mucl
need for preparedness, because Re
publican chances of victory were no
nearly SO bright.
