Like Topsy, Movement That Won Tom Dewey j

WASHINGTON, July. B.-(JP)-Willow
Hun faces a prosaic post
war career as a government ware
house for leftover war goods.
Disposal of -"the run" and oth
er large government-built plants
is one of the major problems of
reconversion, since they were built
for the mass production of bomb
. ers, tanks and other items bigger
than any j mass-built goods in
peacetime. - j
- The solution to convert them
Into ; vast ! warehouses4-has won
the support of top planners in the
government for this reason: ;
When demobilization bits indus
try, factories to make automobiles,
' refrigerators and other consumer
items must be cleared quickly of
war -materials, machinery and
partly finished weapons. :'
. f Storage space for these military
relics will be scarce, but unless
they are moved out Quickly, there
Will be serious delays in setting
up civilian production lines, which
mean idle plants and Jobless work
ers.
i Contractors there's government
concern that some building con
tractors may be forced out of bus
iness. Publicly-financed construc
tion is dropping, and the lumber
shortage may force some contrac
tors to curtail or quit altogether.
There's a pent-up demand for new
housing, but building costs are the
highest in history and may stay up
'm lonf time.,.
' Farm vote The new deal's farm
:. program will be a major issue
during the campaign despite the
fact that republicans endorsed the
principle of crop control as a "last
resort" measure for dealing with
farm surpluses' . , ; -

VisiUrs Ask Questions
These visitors, Brownell said,
wanted to know three things: (1)
Dewey's record as governor of
New York. ' !
(2) Did he' work well with the
patty organization?
(3) Could he carry New York
state with its important and per
haps decisive 47 electoral votes?
The Jaeckle-Sprague-Brownell
triumvirate had answers to all.
They cited: Dewey's record in
locking up $163,000,000 surplus
for ; postwar, reconstruction and
employment; they answered in
the affirmative the question of
his cooperation; and they pointed
to his victory in winning the gov
ernorship in 1942 and that of his
candidate for lieutenant governor
in 1943 as evidence of his vote
getting. ' - f
4th Question SUckler
There was also a fourth ques
tion, a stickler "would Dewey
accept a draft nomination?'
Dewey himself never answered
that ' one directly; so Jaeckle
evolved a counter-question. .
"What do you think?"
""I think he -will," the visitor
would invariably reply.
"Well, you've answered your
own Question," Jaeckle would re
mark. The visitor went away, usually
satisfied.
Brownell catalogued the "draft'
movement into three phases: the
preliminary resolutions of support J
in many atates, ending with the
voting in Wisconsin where Dewey
came out on top, and Wendell
Willkie lost and withdrew; the
write-in votes for Dewey in Ne-

use of subsidies as a "substitute"
for "fair" market prices.
Labor vole The national polit
ical action committee, founded by
the CIO, will be examined soon on
a scale befitting its new name.
Ideais to emphasize t h a t the
movement is not confined to one
organization, nor even to labor, as
such.
Some big names are expected to
Join the committee. Despite re
ports to the contrary, CIO offi
cials say there's no thought of eas
ing out Chairman Sidney Hillman.
His health is said to be not the
best, however, so he may be re
lieved of some of the more oner
ous office chores. t
Political calendar July 10-15

national convention opening in

week in the following states:

Brownell termed; the write-in
votes Pennsylvania's 146,706

mary a political sensation."
The Dewey movement came
into the open for the first time
at Chicago even though we went
with no banners and no ballyhoo,
as Brownell put it, and with 800
of the 1057 delegates unpledged!'
But the Dewey camp could count
on at least 391 as f 'leaning' to4
ward Dewey and the three of them
let it be known that they were
at the convention i to win the
nomination for the New York
governor. J
, "Leaders from other stated
