Show ewey Casts Eye Toward Presidency New York Governor Stands High in Public Estimation t A mild-appearin- Washington. Last week we looked at some of the contenders for the Republican presidential nomination. This week it is the New York governor's turn. More than one person who has tried to talk about or write about Thomas Edmund Dewey has complained of the difficulty of this task. There doesn't seem to be any one place to begin or end. k it Frequently he has had to pause in his upward course but he always manages to start over again where be left off, and continue in the same direction. He lost his first bids for the gubernatorial and presidential nomination in 1938 and 1940, respectively, but he tried again for the governorship In 1942, and was carried into office on a landslide that ended 20 years of Democratic control. That carried him along to the next milestone and he became automatic contender for the presidency in 19i4. The revolt against the New Deal which put the Republicans back into power in New York wasn't strong enough to overcome the Roosevelt popularity so Dewey had to mark time until the next time which Is now. However, there is no use leapfrogging the nomination, which is the issue at the moment There is the usual controversy over the results of Dewey's western trip, which ended in August but his managers, with confident optimism, announced on his return that his strength at the convention would register at least 400 out of the 547 votes needed to nominate him. first-ball- Taft Might Hinder Dewey's Possibilities However, the results of the more Taft journey might mean double setback for Dewey If what is claimed Is correct; namely, that Taft not only strengthened himself but strengthened Republican prospects generally. The reason for this Is that the men who pull the strings In the ttepuhliran party have no treat affection for Dewey. If thev thought they were due for ati eay vletory they would be likely to pur.h him aside regardg less of his ability. In other words, while the Insiders want man who can get the popular vole, they would rather have somebody whom they are entirely sore Is their man, even If he Isn't as popuso long as he has edge lar enough to pall through. While no formidable "stop Dewey" movement is evident the fact th.it Taft tossed Warren of California a whole bowl of roses, took occasion to at least mention Slassen and found no occasion to not ire the existence of the governor of New vnte-cettin- b v 4 1 - r 4: THOMAS E. DEWEY He's Ambitious. as a prosecutor. It must be remembered that more than once he has sacrificed a highly lucrative position for the pure Joy of criminal prosecution. First, when after making a good record on the staff of the United States district attorney, he postponed returning to private practice in order to prosecute Municipal Court Judge Hunstler, without pay, for the American Bar association; then, when he accepted the position as deputy district attorney at a year to go after Dutch Schulti, Lucky Luciano, et al. lie is quoted as saying once that he would rather prosecute criminals than eat. $18.-00- 0 Most of the color which lc riisnlav in autumn in such veH is there in the leaf all the time but we don't see it till fall.

However, Goss does some unprofessional slugging on issues that interest him, and although he represents the farmer he also strongly believes in feeding Europe. Calling on President Truman, Goss urged drastic steps to deal with the food crisis.

One thing about Dewey, howyouth: "every American boy has a chance to be president" Dewey ever, is that he appears to be able has taken that seriously. to build as he goes. That is, up to His enemies look upon Dewey's the present, he has gained in veambition as Brutus looked upon locity without having to reach too Caesar's. far back for his prestige.

Byrnes, who, when he was secretary of state, was a veritable personification of "patience on a monument" in his dealings with Russia, stepped down from his pedestal and announced that it was time to start slugging. In his memoirs, published "Speaking Frankly," Byrnes proposed that the U. S. reply to Russia's "obstructionism" on atomic energy and. German peace treaty agreements with "better and more" atomic bombs and a decision to drive the Red army out of Germany, by force if necessary. Exponents of the "get tough with Russia" policy now have a sturdy champion in the former secretary of state, who resigned that post only last January because of ill health. presByrnes ented a "course of action for restoring peace, basis of which must be BYRNES the conclusion of a German peace satisfactory treaty. At the same time, he conceded that the plan of action conceivably could lead to World War III if Russia refused to First of all, said Byrnes, the U. S. should ask the Big Five to s call a conference of all nations on Germany "early in 1948." If Russia refuses to participate or if she boycotts the conference, the other nations should proceed without her. Then comes the stinger which Byrnes advocates. If Russia refuses to sign the treaty and likewise refuses to withdraw Red troops from western Germany, other nations should ask the U. N. security council to order her out. And if Russia vetoes the security council order, then the U. S. must drive her out of Germany by force. However, Byrnes is firm in his belief that the U. S. probably will not have to resort to warfare. He thinks Russia will withdraw her troops from western Germany upon completion of a peace treaty. p full-dres- REFUGEES: From Soviets Streams of refugees are reported to be coming througn Russia's iron curtain to the southeastern coast of Sweden. Reason for their flight, they say, is that the Baltic lands where they made their homes, now under control of the Soviet Union, are being combed by the Russians for men and women to be deported to Siberia. A secret transportation route out of the Soviet zone manages to spirit the refugees to Sweden. Cost for such a journey 2,500 German marks.
