COP. and Democrats
Both Kept Guessing on
Third Term for Dewey
By Gould Lincoln
Ster Stoff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Mar. 24.-Gov.
Dewey has as many Republicans
guessing today whether he will run
for a third term as the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt had Democrats
guessing whether he would seek
a third term in the White House
in 1910.
His appointments of many of
his close aides to important State
office for terms which will con-
tinue long after the conclusion of
Gov. Dewey's second term-some
of them made in the 18th hour
before the close of the Legisla-
lures session-have been seized on
by politicians as an indication he
is planning not to run, and is
taking care Of his friends.
Others insist that these ap-
pointments mean nothing of the
sort and do not close the door to
a third-term nomination for the
Governor.
How long the third term mys-
terry will continue depends en-
tirely upon Gov. Dewey himself.
From sources close to the Cover
nor it is suggested that by the
middle of April Gov. Dewey may
make known his plans-certainly
If he does not intend to run.
May Have Made Decision.
His decision, which may already
have been made, will depend on
whether he desires to continue in
public life or whether he wants to
get into the private practice of
law again, with the prospect of
becoming leader of the bar and
building up competence for his
family and himself. 1t may de-
pend, too. upon demand by the
Republican Party that he run
again, as the strongest candidate,
and on another important ques-
tion-whether his prospects for
victory are good.
Gov. Dewey occupies a stronger
position today than he did year
ago-soon after his defeat for the
presidency. He has gone ahead
with his program successfully.
The Legislature finally came
through for his rent control bill,
despite Democratic opposition and
the recalcitrance OF some West
chester Republicans. That he
has made a good and efficient |
Governor is generally admitted
even by Democrats If they speak
privately.
In the event Gov. Dewey should
take himself out Of the race, the
strongest candidate the Repub-
licans could put up for Governor,
1t is said here, is Senator Ives.
Senator Ives, however, emphati-
cally does not wish to run for
Governor. He won his election to
the Senate over Senator Lehman
in 1916. He has two more years
to serve in the Senate. He could
of course, run for Governor and
should he be defeated. remain as
Senator and seek reelection in
1852.

Still more on the Classics"
What must be done if these splen-
did football games are not to de-
generate into gladitorial spec
tacles? This writer has heard too
many people say: "Never again!"
The game is being lost in the
welter of bands, queens, parades,
fireworks, and too many drunken
braWlS. Sooner or later college
presidents are going to recall the
game to the campus. Not that our
colored games are growing out of
control, for one of the local col
lege games here in Washington
recently ended in free-for-all
ibraWl.
What can be done? In the first
place, let's have all the parades
before the time of the game, and
pm. is late enough to start
football games in the fall season.
Get rid of the long time half-time
intermission. Limit the band to
five or six minutes each and a
few minutes for anything else.
All through the stands there is
too much whiskey dispensed. Not
only pocket TASKS but empty fifths
abound in the stands after some
of our games. Of course, we are
no the only crowds that drink
there is plenty of evidence at
many of our biggest college or
pro games = but somehow too
many colored persons get care
less about ladies and gentlemen
when Soused.
We need more police-not just
a platoon of colored officers. Why
are white officers kept away from
our games? Why do not white
ushers render the same kind of
service they do at the regular
games?
We feel that these mid-season
"bowl games" have great possibil-
tiles for entertainment and do
much to increase interest in the
game of football, but the effort
to make big gates should not

promoters must do something to
regain those spectators who want
to sit in comfort and feel secure
at the game.
I, and many other colored citi-
zens, have gripe against the
management of Griffith Stadium.
I believe the management is anx-
icus to get the dollars colored
persons pay, but I think the evil
dence shows that there is no in
terest in our people beyond what
they can and do pay at the gate.
Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington American League
Baseball Club, has given no in
dication that he will give colored
baseball players break with the
Mats, although he hires many
foreigners.
Recently, however, incidents
have occrred that have definitely
set a large part of the colored
population against the manage
ment. Here is one:
Last year the National Capital
Classic management gave permis-
sion to the NNACP to pass col
lection boxes for the cause of
racial democracy. Both classics
advertised that the NAACP would
profit by the games.
Whereupon several dozen young
ladies agreed to pass the boxes.
Among the collectors was one
white man, member of the NJ
AACP board, a Catholic, who was
challenged by a member of the
ball park management who in
ferred possible Communist connec-
tions.
It was even threatened that if
collections were attempted, the
lights would be turned off. These
officials grew red in the face in
their determination not to let the
NAACP go through. The reason
given was that no racial affair
was permitted in the park. Yet

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16-lR- Harry Bridges admitted today al his perjury trial that his longshore union staged a work stoppage on Dec. 8. 194S, to "propagandize" for nasty return of American troops from overseas.
 Yes. and it worked, too," Bridges boasted in answer to a cross eXami- nation question by government counsel.
 Bridges, on trisi as a result of denying he had ever been Com munist, claimed he had received thousands of telegrams from en- listed men asking if something couldn't be done to provide ships to bring them home.
 At that time the war in the Pa cific had been over for about three months and there was a great po- itical hullabaloo, much of it pur- portedly inspired by the Commcnist party, to bring the boys home"
 Bridges testified that soldier; wrote him that ships were not avail able.
 The CIO longshore union leader said shipping had been transferred to the more lucrative luxury pas senger trade.
