Dewey Two-to-One Favorite
SEASON FOR political handicapping has opened, with the following among wagers reported this week: Two to one that Dewey will be G. O. P. nominee. Even money that G. O. P. nominee (whoever he may be) will be chosen on first ballot. Even money that Willkie vote won't exceed 200 on any ballot (convention will have 1000-odd delegates). Hundred to one MacArthur won't be nominated. G. O. P. committee on convention arrangements is figuring on sessions not to exceed five days, indicating expectation on early nomination, no deadlock. Some committeemen still want young war hero for convention keynoter, but haven't been able to locate right man. 2 t 2 2 o J RAILROAD LOBBYISTS are credited with knocking $65,000,000 Tennessee-Tombighee inland waterway from rivers-and-harbors bill in house.
