PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINEES TO;
BE ‘DIGNIFIED’
_
By JACK STINNETT
WASHINGTON — In the race
for President, the horses won’t
start running until they hit the
home stretch.
In spite' of the fact that the
GOP nominee, Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, was holding almost daily
press conferences in Albany, pol
iticians here couldn’t conceive
that he would launch an aggres
sive, nation-wide speaking tour
such as Wendell L. Willkie con
ducted four years ago.
The reasons are:
1. The results of the November
election will depend much on the
course of events in the war and
at home between now and then,
It would be political folly for
Dewey to climb out on any limbs
that might be sawed off by the
rapidly changing fortunes of war
2. Dewey’s primary objective
is to cement the Republican party
into a solid phalanx. He can’t dc
this merely by tossing block
busters at the opposition. In Chi
cago there was a period when the
Dewey board of strategy was
worried. The “conservatives” ir
the par'y, it appeared, had dele
t ; . . . • •
gate favor, if not delegate votes.
Remembering 1940, they decided
that something had to be done.
That something was to bring Gov.
John W. Bricker of Ohio into the
Dewey camp as vice-presidential
nominee
* * *• ♦
; The nepst step must, be to heal
the breach between the “conser
vate” and “liberal” wings. Dewey
already has started conferences
| with down-east GOP candidates
! for the House of Representatives.
Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg of
Michigan is going to visit him. If
: he can consolidate his support
i with such conservatives as Van
| denberg, Sen. Robert A. Taft, for.
i mer President Herbert Hoover
I and such liberals as Willkie, to
[mention the extreme, there will
i be time then to worry about cut
j ting into the Democratic ranks
j with a vigorous speaking cam
; paign.
| 3. The fact that we are in the
| midst of a bloody global war mil
j Rates against any political fan
; dangos this year. For either
j Dewey or President Roosevelt to
! take the stump almost certainly
j would result in repercussions
i from the voting public. Every
; politician I have talked to feels
| that the only way the campaigns
j can be conducted this year will
[be quiet, dignified “front porch”
[campaigns, with perhaps a whirl
jwind finish when the issues are
clear and the last chips are down.
As for President Roosevelt, he
occupies a unique situation! He
1 speaks not only as a candidate
but as President of the United
States.

ROME — <AP>— The ability of
Arthur Bolliger and his sons'
Rudy and Arthur, Jr., to avoid
Gestapo traps and do favors for
their American and British friends
was one of the diverting aspects
of Roman life under the Nazis.
They caught some of the Ger
man agents in misdeeds that in
sured their silence, aided the
Jews and saved enormous prop
erty for hundreds of clients who
represented countries at war with
the Axis.
The Bolligers operate a string
of warehouses. One of * he favor
ite Nazi charges was that they
operated secret warehouses. The
warehouses weren’t secret but
they were well placed. When Al
lied bombs began to fall on the
outlying districts, " the BoiligertT
moved their priceless treasures to
two special warehouses -— 'one' i
practically adjoined the Vatican,,
the other—in a monastery.
Correspondents in Rome had to
leave hurriedly when II Duce
went to war and many left their
belongings at Bolligers. During
the earlier days of the war in
Egypt AP Correspondent Edward
Kennedy often said his posses
sions were hidden where the Na
zis would never find them. When
Boiliger greeted Kennedy in the
Piazza di Spigna on the day Rome
fell, he cried: “everything is safe
but you had a close call. The
warehouse was bombed.'’
