City Resists Plan
To Scrap Warship
In Its Harbor
NEWjfRK. N. J., Nov. 12. (.P)
The city of Newark's two-fire-boat
navy armed with chemical
sprays and water hoses manned
battle stations today In an at
tempt to blockade the onetime
battleship New Mexico as the 30,-000-ton
warship was en route to a
salvage dock. here.
City officials, who have re
quested the Navy to vacate its
lease on part of the port In order
to permit the start of a 570,000..
000 development program, said
they wanted no more ships scrap
ped at Newark and would block
the channel entrance to halt the
New Mexico End the three tugs
which are towing It
Mayor Vincent-J. Murphy said,
however, that his disoute tndcy
was mainly with the salvage
firm, Lipsett, Inc., to whom the
Navy had leased the salvage dock
and sold the de-commissioned
New Mexico. Murphy made It
clear he wanted no battle with
the Navy and had nothing against
the New Mexico. .
"She is a fine old ship with a
wonderful record," he said, "but
the New Mexico is no more a part
of the Navy today than our fire
boats are part of the Coast Guard,
which originally had them. The
New Mexico has been purchased
by Lipsett. Inc.. from the Navy
and is now merely a potential
scrap heap."
Navy officials agreed It was
not their fight. Rear Adm. Rus
sell S. Berkey, acting comman
dant of the Third Naval District,
said in New York that "a prelim
inary examination of the situa
tion at Newark would Indicate
that the Navy is not directly con
cerned." While the New Mexico neared
New York harbor en route from
Boston, Newark officials appeal
ed to President Truman for some
moral support before sending the
citv'e two 30 foot f iceboats
against the giant ship.
Farmers to be Asked to
Plant More Feed Grains
WASHINGTON. Nov.
The government plans to ask
farmers to plant nearly 6.5 per
cent more land to livestock feed
grains next year in an effort to
replenish supplies cut short by
this year's poor corn crop.
Larger grain harvests will be
needed if a serious shortage of
meats, dairy and poultry products
Is to be averted In 1949. These
feeds will be scarcer in 1948
than this year because of the
present corn shortage.

With Interviewer
By HAL BOYLE
ALBANY. N. Y. JV- To get
in to see Thomas E. Dewey you
must first pass the critical mus
ter of a big, red-haired, well
armed state policeman, who then
unlocks the door leading to the
governor's office suite.
This American political oddity
that even in a democracy the
major public servants have to be
protected from the people they
serve has always interested me.
I asked about the locked door.
"It wasn't Dewey's Idea," an
Albany newsman said. "It's been
the custom here for some time.
You know In a state as big and
complex as New York there are
a lot of screwballs, and . . ."
And that explains the police
guard and locked door.
Going through the outer office
you pass a shelf parade of 150
miniature souvenir elephants col
lected by Executive Secretary
Paul Lockwood. The collection

The day I calTed Dewey was
dressed in a brown suit and tie,
guiltless of wrinkle. About both
his person and his office there
was an air of careful neatness
and precision.
The reporter accompanying me
remarked Jokingly that I had
come to get the governor's an
nouncement he would seek the
Republican presidential nomina
tion. Dewey gave me a precise
smile.
"That makes you a member of
a very large club," he laughed.
Less Reserved in Manner
At 45 Dewey looks no older
than the days when he first won
national attention as the rackets-fighting-
Manhattan district at
torney. He Is less reserved in
manner now, however, and for
half an hour chatted pleasantly
off the record on political
figures. He impressed me as a
man of quick keen wit rather
than broad humor.
Kpys to any man's Intellectual
life are the books he reads and
the men he admires. Dewey said
the book he remembered as in
fluencing him most in his forma
tive years was "the autobio
graphy of Lincoln Steffens"
which pictured the decay of city
government under boss rule. He
still prefers biography to other
types of reading.
He said the political leaders
of the past who had most guided
his thinking were Washington,
Jefferson, Hamilton and Lincoln.
State Treasury Guarded
He said his biggest worries had
been to obtain proper staffs lor
state mental hospitals and to
"keep the wolves away who
wanted to squander our wartime
treasury surplus."
' His biggest problem now Is to
get contractors to bid at prices
he feels are reasonable on recon
struction and highway projects
for which $450,000,000 is ear
marked. He thinks it essential
that the state maintain a large
financial reserve.
"Relief costs could go up
$100,000,000 In a single year," he
said. "That Isn't any Immediate
problem, but I have to think of
the future welfare of the state."
He said he found his work as
governor more fun and less ex
citing than the years spent in
convicting public enemies.
Marshall Scores
Trial of Maniu
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-4.V)
Secretary of State Marshall
yesterday denounced the recent
trial of former Premier Jullu
Manlu in Romania as another ef
fort by a Communist-dominated
regime to eliminate all opposi
tion. Marshall told a news confer
ence that the Hie sentence impos
ed on Manlu by a Bucharest
military tribunal would not les
sen his statute in Eastern Europe
as an outstanding champion of
democratic ideals.
Maniu, leader of the opposition
Peasant Party, was convicted of
treason Tuesday.
Marshall declined to say wheth
er the United States plans a for
mal protest to Romania similar
to the protest filed with Bulgaria
against the execution of Nikola
Petkov, Bulgarian ' opposition
leader.
Marshall said this govern
ment's views on denial of human
rights in Romania through arbi
trary arrests and inhuman treat-
