Writer Thinks Dewey FaltersAs He Sweeps Into StretchOf The GOP Presidential Race

Washington •— John O'Donnell,political correspondent of theMcCormjck - Patterson. press,which Is' strongly anti-administra-tion, thinks Gov. Dewey is losingground -and may be subjected toanother • purge like, that whicheliminated him at the Philadelphiaconvention in 1940. O'Donnell saysbe sees evidence of Dewey slow-ing down the pace, as often oc-curs when a horse is out in front fora long' time. Or to put it anotherway, #ie' other runners are "begin-ning to. move up as the pole horsefalters.- .

O'Donnell's current article con-tinues":

On the Republican front, thereare the quiet whisperings from in-formed leaders that Ohio's U. S.Senator Robert A. Taft — fouryears "ago the convention opponentof Dewey in a struggle in which-Willkieu ran off- with the jackpot-will beT brojugnt forth as the darkhorse after the Dewey - Bricker-Stassen leaders fcave slugged . itout for the-opening ballots.

if Dewey doesn't click in theearl rounds,- -if the strengthdoesn't steadily mount after thefirst tests, then will come the timefor that very absorbing nationalconvention d-ra-xna — the suddenand brutal ditching of the earlyfavorite, just as the Democratsditched the fete Champ Clark atBaltimore" in-' '12, and- the Repub-licans tossed Gen, Leonard Woodand Gov. Lowden overboard in'20 and Dewey and Taft four yearsA g o . •-

Whatever happens at the GOP

meeting in Chicago, 'mid-western,middle - of - .the - roader NationalCfcairmafl Harrison Spahgler ofIowa will say farewell to his roleas director of the Republican po-litical machinery. No ' matterwhich one o"f the present leadingcontestants wins the nomination,there is no. likelihood that Spang-ler,. compromise candidate in thebitter fight between • the Willkieand nationalist groups in the GOPNational Committee two yearsAgo, will' continue in office.

This of course is according totradition. The 'successful candi-date, picks insr campaign manager&nd dominates the make-up of the

National •• Committee. If Dewey•wins, expect New York RepublicanChairman Edwin F. Jaeckel,Robert Brownell, Dewey's statecampaign manager, .and Long Is-land's J. Bussel Sprague to figureimportantly in the national GOP

set-up.And if the Ohio forces are vic-

torious, expect some close friendof either Gov, Bricker or SenatorTaft to take over. In any event,GOP publicity director James Sel-vage will bow out of the scene aft-er the Chicago convention and re-turn to private practice.

River Trips

SS, KingstonThe curtain went up Sunday for

another season on the St. Law-rence. The S.S. "Kingston" docked

at Brockville hours late, due to aheavy fog which settled on the

river in the early hours of the

morning. The big liner was forced

to throw the anchor, and in theprocess of getting it up, used up

two and one - half hours. The

prongs had become foul of rocks

in the river bed. This accountedfor her late arrival, which disap-

pointed a number ,of passengers

bent on making the Sunday trip to

Kingston and home by the evening

train. As it was, a large number

boarded the big ship at Brock-

ville, among Whom, were some 15

who transferred from the noon

train. The scene at the wharf'wasone of joyous activity, as a great

many had assembled to welcome

this favorite ship.Soldiers from- the O.T.C., and

girls in summer frocks, contrib-uted to the picture, with red-capshauling the baggage, aM the boysin the diving squad, out to garnera nickel or better.

HELD BY ENEMY. Capt. N. J,Cladakis, reported .missing sev-eral months ago in the Italianwar theatre, is now said to be in

a German prison camp, He wasfederal milk order administratorin New York before joining the

THAN EVER BEFOREi: .

The International. Red Cross re-ports that Capt. Nicholas J. Cla-dakis, 37-year-old combat intelli-gence officer of the United Statesair force and administrator-on-

. leave of the federal milk market-ing orders in New York and Chi-cago, is & Nazi war prisoner in aninternment* camp iin Germany.

The flier, who was commissionedin the air force in September, 1942,was reported missing in actionover Bari, Italy, July 16, 1943, andno word of his fate has been re-ceived until now. He was seen par-achuting into Adriatic Sea byflight squadron members off theItalian coast after his plane wasshot down by anti-aircraft fire.

Apparently he was able to swimsafely ashore where he was takenprisoner "by the" Germans who oc-oupficd Bari at the time.

Prior to the time he was report-ed missing, Captain Cladakis hadbeen stationed at Cairo, Egypt,with an air reconmaisance groupand made a number of flightsover the Balkans.

Relatives and friends of Capt.Cladakis in the United States hopedto hear whether he was a war pris-oner after the Allies invaded south-ern Italy in September, 1943, butapparently he had been removed, toGermany soon after his capture.

Capt. Cladakis became federal-state milk marketing administra-tor of the New York milkslied inJuly, 1940. At the same time he re-mained as Chicago area adminis-trator, commuting between Chica-go and New York weekly by plane.

The flier was granted a leave ofabsence from his federal postswhen.he entered the air corps. Hissuccessor is Dr. Charles J. Blan-ford, a former aide, who was ap-pointed by Claude R. "Wickard,"United States secretary of agricul-ture.

Capt. Cladakis is well known inNorthern New York where he vis-ited several times while holding of-fice as administrator. *
