Strictly Business

WITH GOVERNOR DEWEY PARTY, Aug. 1— Governor Thomas E. Dewey is on a unique mission in his quest for the presidency in this tour of the Midwest which takes him to St. Louis for a conference with the 25 other Republican governors. Though he is showing himself to the people here and there, as at Pittsburgh where he spent the day yesterday, this is no bamstorming, speech - making campaign swing. It is strictly a business affair. It comprises, first, political organization, and second, consultation with politicians and spokesmen of various economic groups to learn what issues most

agers are trying to profit from the mistakes of the 1940 Republican presidential campaign. Wendell 7. Willkie paid but meager attention to politicians and political organizations. And he began to talk early—and loud:

The part that did the cutting was one’ he had improvised himself. In this business of war so. much is unforeseen, so much is missing at the right moment that were it not for improvisation wars would be lost. Take these gearwheels, for instance. Suppdse a _ tank strips three teeth off some gear. The entire tank is helpless and out of action. They have no replacement wheels in stock. They have to repair the broken one. So they take it to their outdoor foundry, make a form, hbat up some steel till it is molten, pour it in the form and mould a rough geartooth which is then welded onto the stub ©f the broken-off tooth.

Lack of Tools Didn't Stop Them

+NOW THE rough tooth has to be ground down to the fine dimensions of the other teeth and that is an exact job. At first they didn’t have the tools to do with. But - that didn’t stop them. They hacked those teeth down with cold chisels and hand files.” They put back into action 20 tanks by this primitive method. Then Kelso and Warrant Officer Henry Moser, of Johnstown, Pa. created a part for their milling machine that would do the job faster and better. That one httle improvisation may have saved 50 Americans’ lives, may have cost the Germans a hundred men, may even have turned the tide of a battle. And it's being done by a man 45 ‘years old, wearing corporal stripes who doesn’t have to be over here 3% al, and ‘Who could be making big money back ome. He too sleeps on the ground. and works 16 hours a day, and is happy to do it—for boys who are dying are not 3000 miles away and abstract; they are 10 miles away and very, very real. He sees them when they come back, pleading like children for another tank, another gun. He knows how terribly they need the things that are within his. power to give.

Water ‘Monster’ Seen

AN EPIDEMIC of gastro-intestinal trouble has quite a few of the homefolks, including many youngsters, on the sick list. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health officer, says two forms of it are prevalent.

One is the infectious type—spread just like the common cold. The other, the non-irffectious type, results from a chill affecting the stomach nervous system. Sometimes it results from drinking too many cold drinks, bther times from sleeping without covers on chilly nights. Careful diet and medical care are indicated for both types. . .. Things must be getting back to normalcy, despite the war. In looking over the Goshen News-Democrat, we see that an unidentified “water monster” has made its appearance on Syracuse lake. The frightful creature appeared within 10 feet of a boat occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Grant, who lost no time in going elsewhere. They said it looked at first like a person in the water, then as it got closer was revealed to be dark in color and several feet wide across the back, and it appeared to move along in an up-and-down fashion. Gosh, we'd better keep an eye on Fall creek. No telling what we're likely to find there. . , . Seen on 8. Lyndhurst dr.: A woman busily knitting a sweater as she walked down the street. . . .

course, his two-day conference with the other Republican governors. Utilization of the Republican governors in this campaign is generally recognized as the smartest political coup so far of this year's campaign in either party. It may pay substantial dividends. The 26 states represent 345 electoral votes, many more than the 226 necessary to win. Republicans control the political machinery in these states, which is an initial advantage, particularly if there is a light presidential vote this November. Governor Dewey's endeavor is to steam up the governors to get their machinery in smooth working order.

State Powers Seen as Major Issue

HE ALSO has another objective, aside from purely political organization mechanics. This is to utilize the governors in pushing what Mr. Dewey seemingly expects -to develop into a major issue: That is, recovery for the states of some of the powers yielded up, or appropriated, in recent years to the federal government. This offers an

introduction to the issue of federal bureaucracy, for

presidential campaign. The Dewey train arrived from St. Louis, Mo., at 11:05 a. m. Indianapolis time. Governor and Mrs. Dwight H. Green; of Illinois, boarded the observation car to greet Governor and Mrs. Dewey. After a brief introduction by Green, Dewey spoke for several minutes to a milling ‘and cheering crowd. “Fourteen years ago your great Governor Green and I were doing

York,” Dewey said. “We're still doing it to a certain extent.”

Plans Press Conference

Dewey scheduled a press conference for noon. The afternoon schedule called for conferences with labor, political, Negro, industrial, business and agricultural leaders on this second stop of an organizational, non-speech of | making campaign swing. He spent yesterday in Pittsburgh where he was assured that Pennsylvania's 35 electoral votes would be Republican next November. Today he hopes to “begin the setting up of an organization that will make Illinois’ 29 electoral votes sure for himself and Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio, his vice presidential running mate.

Next Stop St. Louis

Next stop for the Dewey train which runs as the second section nf a regularly scheduled train will be in St. Louis for a two-day conference with the 25 other Republican governors on domestic issues.

His train is made up of nine cars. The governor is accompanied by a considerable party, including Mrs. Dewey, various aids, New York state and New York City policemen and upward of 40 newspapermen and photographers. His last of an all-day schedule of Pittsburgh conferences was with representatives of the United Mine Workers of America. S Lewis was not among miners’ representatives who included A John O'Leary, international first vice president, “who said, “We had a very pleasant conference with Governor Dewey. The governor made no promises and the mine workers made no commitments. We told him that the policy of the United Mine Workers would be decided at the Sept. 11 international convention in Cincinnati.”

No Lewis Message

O'Leary sald Lewis knew nothing about his meeting with Dewey in advance and had sent no message to the Republican candidate. Dewey is making no speeches on this journey but has scheduled frequent press conferences which enable him to develop his charges against the Roosevelt administration, notably that there is no adequate preparation for* peace in Washington.

cratic campaign for re-election of the “commander-in-chief” by emphasizing that the President to be elected next November will be more a peacetime than a wartime executive. But primarily Dewey is attempting to tie tightly into his campaign the local politicians and officeholders whose good will and influence can be of tremendous importance, and the Republican governors who will meet with him in St. Louis Wednesday and Thursday.

Represent 345 Votes

Those 26 states, including New York and Ohio whose governors comprise the Republican ticket, ‘represent 345 electoral votes, which is 77 more than the majority necessary to ‘control the electoral college. In Pittsburgh, leaders and repe resentatives of various groups told Dewey a story of resentment against “regimentation,” of fears of “bureaucracy,” of unpopularity of wage freezes.

It will be explaineg at a gpnfer-. ence in the Strand hotel that free Estonians will fight Russians and Germans alike as a supreme gesture of their love of liberty. They are prepared to die rather than submit to incorporation again into the Soviet Union, or into any other nation. This underground parliament, which is made up of selected officials active in the capital city of Tallinn until 1939, claims to have the support of two divisions of Estonian nationalist troops estimated at between 30,000 and 40,000 men, now fighting the Soviet push nto Fstonia, and also the support of a large number of partisans of the

Know It Is Futile

These free Estonians know that it is a futile move. They knew that nothing will halt the Russian advance into Estonia and the other two Baltic states of Latvia and Lithuania. They know that it is a quick way to suicide. But their hatred of the Germans is equal to their fear of Russien intentions. They are willing to die or at least court death as a way of dramatizing their attempt to revive the status of independence which Estonia lost when the Soviet Union incorporated -the country into the Russian political scene five years ago. I learn in Stockholm that both Latvia and Lithuania are contemplating moves similar to the national committee for the salvation of Estonia, operating through committees already established in those countries.
