Dewey chosa small, pleas ant gray haired Miss Mary Donlln, a New York attorney, to represent him. She was last out of the meeting at 8:30 a. m. , But to go deeper than this example, there were three factions within that committee as indeed within this whole convention not Deweyltcs, Brlcker boys, Stassen men, etc., but a group of senators, a clan of governors and a third crowd of Just plain delegate political workers from back home.

Via boM nn other davs. K'Ve don't do It often, but we did today, after . reading the news irom mo V Chicago GOP convention. -'A w n sea lust what ii'" 'Jl we said four years ago after IV J.f 'Wendell Willkie was nornln- llV-' ' ated over Thomas E. Dewey. fLot us be honest and admit if It hadn't turned out like I (Me- I liVV I "Ho (Mr. Dewey) Is a very I ( I able young man, and if he I j lives up to his possibilities, he sasa"." , Mm .min anH EPLEY will DC neara again. If he was 'shelved,' as the saying goes. It should be a very temporary shelf on which he was placed. It is to be hoped that his public career has Just started." . Fortunately, not so bad, for once, we in terpreted the triumph of Willkie over Dewey as due to WUlkle's maturity and executive exper ience two fields in which Dewey has gained a great deal since 1940. (Four years on his age, governor of the great state of New YorkJ Weeping For Wendell CASTING memory back to 1940, we are reminded of the bitter attacks -which were made on Wendell Willkie in those years by some of the same people who are now weeping on his shoulder. .,,, Today, these people are extolling Willkie as a llberallst and "one world realist," In 1940, they described him as a big business bigot bent on destroying "liberal gains" and completely lacking in world-wide vision. J To these New Deal lealots, Willkie climbed torn devil to saint In four years. - iHe became a saint, of course, only when It -Was certain he would not get the republican presidential nomination. If he had gotten that, he would be the recipient of no such love ana affection from these people, but would be sub jected to the same bitter attacks he sustained la 1940 from guns which 'will now be trained oh Thomw E. Dewey. , They're bringing up that artillery now. ... ! Yfarren Popularity "HERE was some disappointment In Oregon, : and a lot of It In California, over the re fusal of Governor Warren of California to seek tBe vice-presidential nomination.- Warren's popularity at this time Is terrific Oaiifornlans from nearby areas with whom we rjave talked believe that had he Joined Dewey dti the ticket, there would have been no ques tion at all about where California's 22 electoral votes would have gone. '" -J Staunch support from Warren for the Dewey Bricker ticket seems certain, and should prove affective in the areas in which the California governor has such great popularity. . . ' f : - .- ' hat Supreme Confidence EXPRESSIONS of absolute confidence In vic tory., heard so widely at the republican convention,', will be duplicated at the democratic convention, and won't mean a lot in either case to those who follow politics closely. This writer has gone to political meetings he went to one given for a candidate here not Stt long ago wnich rang with such talk from people who know that no such absolute con fidence is justified by the facts, t Politicians seem to accept the theory that vctes are won in that way, and probably there 4re those people who vote for the side thejr tjbink will win, regardless of the merits of the tues. As for us, we will take the fellow who Is willing to go down to defeat with the side he thinks is right. ' .'" 1 flews Behind the News ' Br PAUL MALLOW CHICAGO, June 29 This coming Dewey presidential campaign is likely to surprise ihe country. Not unlike the earlier Mr. Roosevelt he has rtovel ideas (though not the same ideas.) He does not work Jh political grooves, is far from Barry bound. Jl He scares the oldtime poli ticians a little, because his methods are different, although lis inside record at this con- entlon shows surprisingly few Mistakes. , ' To give you the closeup -pic- ire, consider his designation Of a woman as his leader on the platform committee. Law- MALLON jjjers and polltlcos haggle hours over words in THE governors clan, representing 20 states, considers Itself more important politically than the senators, and got lis gumpuon up io such an extent that the senators listen to them. However, governors are not up on the national issues to the extent that the senators are, who handle them daily. In fact the governors seemed to have little to complain about and apparently they just wanted recognition for themselves rather than any special viewpoint. In this conflict, Dewey seems to have largely let the senators write the declaration of party principles. Taft of Ohio, Danahcr of Con necticut and Millikln of Colorado did most of It Through Miss Donlln and otherwise, Dewey exercised mainly a negative influonce, vetoing words, phrases, some ideas. Actually this platform Is Just the party's pre paration for the candidate to take over. Some political assayers are now reading great hidden meanings into the thinly shaved words which were adopted. As usual, and particularly in the case of the footloose Mr. Dewey, they are wasting their time. What he reads into the platform, especially what he wants to do about it later is what the platform will be. Awaits Interpretation ONE sentence particularly awaits his inter pretation, the one promising that the world organization will take quote effective coopera tive means to direct peace forces to prevent or repel military aggression. Unquote. Police force, directly or indirectly? Sovereignty. Some ex perts think this phrase is a sleeping termite In the international plank. At any rate Dewey is not the type to be content with generalities and phrase compro mises when he sits in the top chair. Personally I expect him to be a lot more liberal than the country suspects. I think he will strive for an enlightened common sense liberalism as distinct from the sheer political liberalism which thinks for instance a poll tax is still Important (I mean the Willkie type of political liberalism.) It will champion greater social security, for instance, and more state medical aid instead of the New Deal's socialized medicine. On International affairs, I expect him to be neither Internationalist nor isolationist I think his goal Is "realism," realism In regard to Russia, to the rise of communists in European leadership, in regard to British empire trade necessities, considering the developments which will arise In connection with a world organiza tion. On the surface of the platform adopted here and Dewey's international declarations, there appears to be democratic-republican unity on foreign policy, but this is only a mutual accept ance of democratic principles (sovereignty etc.) , Break Pending THERE will be a break between Roosevelt and I Dewey on these matters when the admin istration starts applying these principles in action. I doubt if Dewey will consider them in accord with the formula. - His labor stand will likewise surprise you. The CIO political action crowd has made the front pages look like Dewey is anti-labor. Fact is he has gotten along well with union labor In New York state. What he did not get along with was the radical element in and out of labor. ' . Now the radicals peculiarly in this campaign are idealistically in the same boat as reaction aries, including the International bankers. Both the leftists and conservatives wanted "one world," or "union now," a world state, a quart of milk a day, etc. Between these two is a great portion of labor and also the average - citizen. . The American Federation of Labor, for Instance, is ldealoglcally, Just about where I expect Dewey will wind up on labor (strongly anti-communist.) Not Really Issues BWfeass ON the other issues in the head of the man in the street, although these are not really Issues, except as politicians have made politi cal iootb'alls of them, I have heard a New York republican leader claim Dewey will get a million Jewish votes in New York City and much intellectual negro support. He has a nucleus of a working organization ready to start His advisers generally have long been chosen, are in the crowd around him now. It is possible they may become too clannish as the campaign develops, and too lawyerish but they will have to rely in nearly all the states on the local republican organizations (he has no state political leaders of his own) and this no doubt will prevent his men from becom ing too independent. I expect he will storm the country, probably make more speeches than usual. He will let the country know him as New York knows him.

Juno 20 (if) President Rooiovelt signed to day a bill giving prefurmico in government employment to hon orably discharged service men, tliulr widows and the wives of disabled veterans of any United States war. The monsurn gives statutory effect to existing civil service regulations giving service-connected disabled veterans a 10 point proforuneo and non-disabled veterans a five-point pref erence In competition for fed eral jobs. It eliminates from future preference ex-scrvico men whoso only service was per formed In peace time. However, peacetime veterans now In gov c r n m e n t employment or on civil service registers will not lose the preference they ulreudy hold. The law also: Restricts to veterans, so long as applicants from that group are available, competition for jobs as guurds, cluvutor opera tors, mcssclltferit nnrl r-HMlnitltniM and authorizes the president to add other positions to thu llnl for five years 'after the war's oiul. Requires the civil service commission to glvo credit to veterans for all "valuable ex perience" received while In mil itary service, including experi ence in relluious, civic, wel fare, service and organisation activities. Provides for tint waiver of age, height and weight require ments In cases Involving vet erans and permits waiver of other physical defects. Prohibits the establishment of minimum educational re tulremcnls for veterans except lor technical or professional po sitions. Itequirca an appointing offi cer to state In writing his rea sons for passing over a veteran and selecting a non-veteran, Require preference to bo given to veterans In cases of reductions of the personnel of an agency or Its abolition or merger.
