rPAGE EIGHT Truman And Dewey Race Would Be Interesting, As Harry Is Just As ff Folksy, As Tom Dewey Is Reserved By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE AP Newsfeatures Writer WASHINGTON President nominee Dewey has replaced the Republican-dominated Congress as the chief opponent of the Truman administration. If 46-year-old Governor Dewey is elected, he will be the third youngest president in American history. If 64-year-olrt Harry S Truman is elected, he will be the fourth oldest man to win a presi dential race. Besides the disparity in age. the two contenders differ widely in' personality and political back ground. There is also a marked contrast in their style of political speech-making. President Truman is folksy, enjoys small chat, likrs to e chince banter with visitors to the executive mansion. He often plays Jokes on members of his staff and White House reporters Dewey is naturally formal mid reserved although he has devel oped a more tordial peisonality since the 1944 campaign Few persons call him Tom." even members of Ins loyal staiT They address him as -Governor ' President Truman's most Ap pealing political speeches are usu ally "off the cuff". When he makes a short impromptu talk, he uses down-to-earth words which voters easily understand. He isn't so ef fective when reading a prepared address. Gov. Dewey has one of thn best radio voices in politics. His pol ished speeches are very careful ly composed, often give the im pression of having been thor oughly rehearsed. Both men could provide a musical touch to the campaign President Truman at the piano and Gov. Dewey singing with a resonant baritone. Dewey, in his sixth year as gov ernor of New York, has had long er experience as a political ad ministrator. President Truman, on the other hand, has been in "the big seat'' for more than three trouble-packed years. He was a United States senator for 10 years, won favorable attention as chairman of a Senate war pro duction investigating committee. He was vice president for less than three months when Presi dent Roosevelt died. Dewey is a lawyer who gained nation - wide prominence as a racket-smashing district attorney in New York Citv. He will have the so-called technical advantage of being on the offensive. He will accuse the President of bems! re- ! sponsible for troubles that have arisen during his administration Much of the Truman countn attack, however, probably will . be aimed at the Republican-controlled Congress. He already has lambasted Congress for Julius ; to give him power to help con trol the high cost of living. Gov. Dewey has said that the Democratic administration's huge expenditures over a long period wer the cause of inflation. His pre-nomination attacks on Presi dent Truman's foreign policy ; were largely charges of "muddle headed'' handling of relations with Russia. ' Like President Truman, how ever, he favored the full amount of Marshall Plan appropriations He took a position similar to the j President when he said this coun try should not start private nego tiations 'with Russia! leaving any of the other free nations out side Both men have urged a strong military force, speeding up of the nation's river and power projects, and parity price pro tection for farmers The general theme song of the campaign probably will hr the customary "I can do it bet ter." BASEBALL FIX CASE CONTINUES The case in which four men are charged with bribery and conspir acy in "fixing"' a Carolina league game on May 14 continues in Winston-Salem. A motion for a continuance was made by Joe Johnson, attorney for Ed Wein garten, because of his client's ill health. The case will be resumed in September. BAD EGGS EXPENSIVE SALEM. Ore.

One watch for each wrist. "The Lip" set one on Brooklyn time, for himself, and the other on Pacific time, to re mind him what hour it was for La raine out in Hollywood. A timely link for long-distance lovers. Laraine bought the watches from a toothless, weather-beaten soldier of fortune named William Kahn. Bill, 66, plays extra parts in the movies. But he makes more money peddling stuff to the stars . . . per fume to George Raft, silk scarfs to Dorothy Lamour, imported Swiss handkerchiefs to Louis Hayward, Kirk Douglas, Bob Hope, Paul Muni, and many others. "I sell lotsa hankachas," Bill says. Mean ing handkerchiefs. He acts as agent for the stars in these deals. Having almost immedi ate access to studios, he'll take a diamond-studded watch, say, on consignment from a Jeweler, ped dle it to a star, and collect a little commission. It was not always quite that easy. Bill played his first movie bit as Mae West's cab driver 11 years ago. When extra parts were scarce, he bought "hankachas" at $6 a dozen and peddled them on the Warner lot at $8 a dozen. To get on the lot, he waited till the extras swarmed out of the studio at noon, smeared makeup on his face, and walked back in with them after lunch. He sold 4,000 dozen hand kerchiefs just before Christmas that year to directors, writers, act ors. Now he'll call up Producer George Jessel at 20th Century-Fox, lor instance, and go out and sell him several folding aluminum tables. He sold a dome-shaped ring, set with rubies, to William Howard for Howard's wife, Dorothy La mour. Haft selected Bill's Congo and Andalusia perfume. Bill's $27.50 perfume set includes co logne and an atomizer, which Bill calls an "itemizer". But razor blades, he says, are "beneath my dignity". Bill, seamy-faced and sparse haired, worked aboard Merchant Marine and Army Transport ves sels in the recent war, in which he lost a son. He's getting restless again. Says he has his passport and plans to go soon to Palestine to help the cause of Israel. NOT A LASTING JOB MEMPHIS. Tenn. (UP) When Mrs. M. T.
