them platform meeting and thii time (at up all
night at It ai utual.
A sharpster In words is usually a candidate's
choic for that tack. 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.

Fortunately, not so bad, for once, we in
terpreted the triumph of Willkie over Dewey as
due to WUlkle's maturity and executive exper

a great deal since 1940. (Four years on his age,

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. . . '

convention, and won't mean a lot in either case
to those who follow politics closely.

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

As for us, we will take the fellow who Is
willing to go down to defeat with the side he

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.

BUI Gives Veterans First
Chance at Civil Service
WASHINGTON. 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
