WASHINGTON-Wendell Willkie is wrestling
with-the toughest decision of his political life.
He must choose between taking off the gloves
and wading bluntly into a powerful Republican
ffice-seeker whose views he detests. or remain
silent and permit himself to be elbowed out of
party leadership.
It is not an'easy decision to make.
The GOP leader whom Willkie would have to
challenge publicly is Thomas E. Dewey, candidate
for governor of New York and aspirant for the
White House in 1944. Dewey has been on all
sides on the foreign policy issue and recently
was quoted as declaring that while he was
against "Ham" Fish it was because of his asso-
ciations and not his isolationist views. It was
not until ten days later, after the quotation ap-
peared in an advertisement, that Dewey con-
tended he had been misquoted.
Willkie is publicly opposing the re-election of
Fish. But. so far he has not publicly thrown
down the gauntlet to Dewey, whom he disap-
proves of privately almost as strongly as he ob-
jects to Fish.
Reason is, Willkie believes that to oppose
Dewey actively would entail becoming a can-
didate himself, as there is no other Republican
who can possibly stop Dewey. And Willkie sin-
cerely does not want to run for governor.
But close friends, chiefly the young, liberal
Republicans who were the backbone of the spec-
tacular campaign which won him the GOP nom-
ination in 1940 over the violent opposition of the
machine bosses, are arguing differently with
Willkie. They say very frankly that it is not
enough for him to be against GOP isolationism;
that if he means what he says he must take up
the cudgels militantly and fight for his views
within the party.
Popular Hero
These advisers have told Willkie that they and
the politicians know he considers Dewey an iso-
lationist, and closely tied up with Herbert Hoo-
ver, Alf Landon, Joe Pew and other Old Guard
and isolationist% party forces. But the great
mass of people do not know this, the advisers
point out, and won't know it unless Willkie as-
serts his leadership and dells them so publicly.
Willkie intimates also have told him that the
sole basis of his strength is popular support; that
the m chine politicos always '+ave been against
him, d that he can never make his influence
fet except by going over their heads as he did
in winning the 1940 nomination.
These advisers are strongly urging Willkie
to disregard the politicos and go direct to the
people. They hold that Willkie can't lose if he
will do that even if Dewey, through control of
the convention machinery, does capture the
gubernatorial nomination.
Willkie's stature and influence with the great
mass of voters, these friends contend, will be
stronger than ever.
Party Unity
This militant counsel is being countered
strongly by old-line GOP chiefs on two grounds.
One, that if he opens fire on Dewey, there is
grave danger of disrupting "party unity." The
other is that Willkie would play squarely into
the hands of the New Dealers.
These arguments are carrying much weight
with Willkie because of his deep conviction that
in these disturbed days it is vital for democracy
to maintain the two-party system. Willkie is
much concerned about preserving this U.S. sys-
tem. He sincerely believes that its continuance
is endangered, and he harbors very definite sus-
picions regarding Franklin Roosevelt.
However, at the same time, Willkie is equally
disturbed about the powerful isolationist forces
within the Republican party. He considers them
just as menacing to the welfare of the nation
as the Democrats he suspects of having designs
on the two-party system.
How to fight both most effectively is the
problem he is up against, and so far he hasn't
found the answer.
Economizers-Sornetimes!
- One of the busiest crusaders for government
economy is Henry Merritt Wriston, socialite
president of Brown University. As chairman of
the Citizens' Emergency Committee on Non-
Defense Expenditures, Dr Wriston has bom-
barded Congress with impassioned demands for
cuts in the budgets of the National Youth Ad-
ministration and other agencies.
Also, he has functioned as a leading backstage
adviser of Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia,
anti-New Deal chairman of the Joint Economy
Committee on Non-Defense Spending.
However, like many politicos, Dr. Wriston
doesn't apply his economy dogmas to expendi-
tures in which he has a personal interest.
The educator recently wrote to Senator Theo-
dore F. Green of Rhode Island, vigorously de-
manding that the Senate recede from a 40 per-
cent reduction it voted in the State Depart-
ment's budget for "printing and binding."
"The amount available for printing and bind-
ing has been reduced to such an extent," pro-
tested Dr. Wriston, "that it would prevent the
publication of tfhe records of the Paris Peace
Conference of 1919." a
Suggestion To Uncle Sam
Here is an example which might be followed
very profitably by Uncle Sam:
In Australia every business man appointed to
a jpb with a government war agency must first
go to a special school for one month to learn
how to cut redtape. According to Australians
this system has been extremknely successful in
speeding up governmental administration.
Not only could the idea well be applied to U.S.
business men, but also to a great many govern-
ment officials, particularly Army, Navy and
State Department brasshats.

AUow Bridges To
HIelp War Effort.
H ARRY BRIDOES' NAME was new to
the labor-baiting employers of San
Francisco when he led a general strike in 1934
that spread from his realm at the waterfront to
tie up the entire city.
There had been no union in San Francisco or
its southern rival, Los Angeles, since tle IWW
fell to pieces. The employers were afraid-very
much afraid-that the West Coast stronghold
of the open shop would fall.
They had to get something on the dynamic
new leader. .And they did. Harry Bridges had
come from Australia, neglected to take out citi-
zens4ip papers and was still an alien.
THR.EETIMES Bridges Was accused of beingy
affiliated with organizations advocating over-
throw of they government. The House of Repre-
sentatives twice passed bills-fortunately killed
in Senate committees-providing for immediate
depprtation of Bridges.
His first trial at which Dean James Lhndis,
new director of the OCD, presided, ended with a
verdict absolving Bridges of any connection witp
revolutionary organizations. In the second trial
before Judge Charles B. Sears he was found
guilty of belonging to a revolutionary organiza-
tion. This decision was reversed by the Board of
Immigration Appeals.
On May 28 Attorney General Francis Biddle
on his own initiative once more reversed the
decision and ordered Bridges deported.
THE CRUX of the charges against Bridges was
that he was a Communist and later that he
was affiliated with Communists. Biddle said
that Communists were attempting to destroy the
government of the United States.
Evd"ence that Bridges belonged to the Com-
munist Party was scanty and unreliable. Both
Bean Laidis and the Board of Appeals threw
out the only testimony on this subject.
A further consideration is that even if Bridges
were a member of the Communist Party it would
be difficult to prove that the party is after
revolution. The complexion of the Daily Worker
has changed so much sin~ce the war that one
would think it the bulletin of a super-patriotic
organization.
Biddle over- eaJously applied a stupid law
wien h ,oderd Bridges' deportation. He
could have waited until the war was over be-
fore Ie applied the law and might have found
excellent reason postponing action.
ARRY JRIDQES has been a great force in
controlling the hot-headed waterfront work-
ers of the West Coast. His followers applied a
speed-rap to themselves to load the important
ships quicker than normally. And they have con-
tinually exposed inefficient management.
Workers on the West Coast docks are impor-
tant to the war effort. The ruge factories of
California, which has a larger share of war con-
tracts than any other state in the nation, need
those ships.
The workers, of the dockcs were uniofed under
Harry Brdges' leadership--now they are re-
sentful of the goernment. Biddle's move may
be the cause of much unrest and disunity.

An Axe To Grind
By TORQUEMADA
So I tell Mamie that she wouldn't do no better than 4-F
in the draft herself.
BEFORE SATURDAY, we had never been to a
wedding. Imagine if you will a grown person
so cut off from the ordinary realm of
polite society. But Saturday, the guy went
and did it, and we got an invitation,
and mighty lucky at that. So came the
day, and there we were, in our best and only tie,
walking up the noble cracked stone steps of the
East Jefferson Presbyterian Church (Detroit),
walking up..the steps armed with a female com-
panion.
The first thing you do is worry about losing
the invitation, but they don't even ask for it.
Instead, a rather smooth looking gent sidles up
to us and friend, grabs the babe from off my
arm, and escorts her down the aisle. We fol-.
lowed rather sheep-doggishly, but belligerent in
our desire to make sure the guy wasn't leading,
her into a back room, and stumbling several
UAW-CIO Conference
IMnplmetLs Denmoc racy.
CRITICS OF LABOR UNIONS, crying
for more democracy and a more
enlightened leadership in workers' organizations,
inay well look at the UAW-CIO educational con-
ference being held here this week for the answer
to their fondest wishes, or for the biggest hob-
goblin that ever haunted their reactionary
dreams.
The more than 200 hundred delegates attend-
ing the conference. one in a series being con-
ducted at universities all over the country, are
being instructed in fair labor practices, effective
organisation, rationing, taxes, housing and other
problems of importance to workers, and will pass
on their newly acquired information to all CIO
members.
HE classes and conferences are part of the
CIO educational program intended to com-
plement democracy. to develop an organization
capable of choosing its leaders and having its
leaders express the desires of its members. They
are .part of a plan to develop a union with truly
times in the Stygian darkness. When we were
at about the center of the church, Mr. Smoothie,
whom I had by now grown to know and hate
like a termite, asks, "Bride ,or groom?' My
friend answers, "Groom." So we get seated on
the right side of the center, and I learn that
they always divide people up according to wheth-
er they are friends of the bride or groom. The
idea is to make everything cozy, and it kills time
before the ceremony starts; each team sitting
there glaring at the other, and making wry
comments about hats, and the inadequacy of
one or the other betrothed.
Suddenly we became conscious of an all-
pervading mystical sound from overhead, and
looking up we see the organist seated in a golden
chariot, playing the sweet and slushingly ro-
mantic melodies of Carrie Jacobs Bond, unwisely
and unwell.
MEANTIME at spasmodic intervals a candid
camera boy would run down the aisle, flash-
ing his bulbs, and scaring the cravens on the
bride's side no end. (We groomers, comrades
all by this time, merely sneered clannishly and
turned our heads.)
The next thing we knew, there was a slithering
swishing sound, and the center aisle carpet van-
ished beneath our terror-stricken eyes. It seems
that the canvas carpet on which the guests come
in gets dirty, so the attendants slide it back, and
the bride has a fresh clean carpet to walk on.
ElN the organist plays "Here Comes the
Bride," and first the two bridesmaids come
in, painfully self-conscious, and then the maid-
of-honor (we thought at first that she was the
bride, and were about to start applauding. save
for a tactful punch in the stomach by our es-
cortee). Next came the bride proper, and stun-
ning she looked in a wedding gown which looked
like wedding gowns are supposed to look. Highly-
justified "Oohs" and "Ahs echoed lustily from
the vaulted ceiling.
The service itself lasted about twenty minutes,
and it was exactly like in the movies, except that
the preacher didn't ask "If anyone knows any
reason why these two shall not be joined in holy
matrimony, let him speak now, or forever hold
sold within a reasonable time, it will
be returned to the department from
which it was received. The object of
this arrangement is to promote econ-
omy by reducing the amount of un-
used apparatus. It is hoped that de-
partments having such apparatus will
realize the ad antage to themselves
and to the University in availing
themselves of this opportunity.

portion of the Natural Science Build-,
ing is directed to the fact that park-
ing or standing of cars in the drive-
way between these two buildings is
prohibited because it is at all tlme,
inconvenient to other drivers and to
pedestrians on the diagonal and other
walks. If members of your family
call for you, especially at noon when
traffic both on wheels and on'foot is
heavy, it is especially urged that the
car wait for you in the parking space
adjacent to the north door of Uni-

as much when a person is sitting in
a car as when the car is parked
