Dewey’s Influence Rising In
Eisenhower’s Administration
By STANLEY JAMES • <
WASHINGTON — When Gov
ernor Thomas E. Dewey of New
York had a conference with
President Eisenhower recently,
two of the reporters covering the
White House met in th lobby and
one said tothe other:
Why are you here, covering De
wey?”
“I wanted to see if the Presi
dent approves of the way General
Eisenhower is running things,”
came the wisecrack reply.
The exchange underlines the
truth in the old saying, “There’s
many a true word spoken in jest.”
To more than onfe Washington
correspondent, the events of the
past few days have indicated that
Governor Dewey has more influ
ence in the administration than he
has had before. Dewey is the
spokesman of the Eastern, inter
nationalist Republicans who- won
the presidential nomination for
Eisenhower at Chicago, snatching
it out of the hands of the Midwes
tern, isolationist Republicans who
favored the late Senator Robert
Taft of Ohio.
It is also quite possible that
Dewey has influence through his
lieutenant, Herbert Brownell, who
managed both of his own unsuc
cessful races for the Presidency
and now is Attorney General.
Brownell took the- lead, for the
administration, in the hunt for
“Communist spies” by stirring up
the Harry Dexter White case; and
he placed the Justice Department
firmly behind the administration’s
stand against racial segregation in
the public schools.

Army to Discharge
20,000 Incompetent
Enlisted Men
WASHINGTON, tPi—The Army
will take advantage of current
manpower reductions to weed out
about 20,000 incompetent enlisted
men.
Orders went fo Army command
ers last week telling them to ar
range the discharge of men who
have been “determined incapable
of absorbing military training to
the extent necessary to meet mili
tary requirements.”
An Army spokesman said the
great majority of the “professional
privates” who will be affected
have served more than one volun
tary enlistment hitch, and will be
clear of further service '-liability.
Any who might bounce right back
into uniform by way of the draft
will be kept. All of the men will
be given honorable discharges
“for the convenience of the gov
ernment” and will qualify for
veterans benefits, the spokesman
added.
The Defense Department, in its
first monthly manpower report
since the Korean war started, said
there were 3,455,954 men and
women in the armed services at
the end of November this year.
Over 10,000 American
Airmen In Europe To Be
Replaced By Civilians
WEISBADEN, Germany, (ff> —
More than 10,000 American air
men in Europe will be replaced
by European civilians under a
new economy program.
The switch will free about 36
million dollars for activation of
new Air Force wings in the United
States, U.S. Air Force headquar
ters said Tuesday.
A similar program reportedly
will be carried out in the U. S.
Far Eastern Air Force.
An Air Force spokesman said
that in Europe, 10,662 airmen will
be replaced by a total of 8,611
civilians. The remaining jobs will
be eliminated.
He stressed that key American
technical personnel will not be
changed and that the program
will not reduce combat readiness
of American air power in Europe.
