By CHARLES NORMAN NEW YORK, Aug. &—A young man from Owosso, Mich., who came here to study singing and law, and |turned to law exclusively, heads ‘N(»\ York City's vice and racket- eering probe. He is Thomas E. Dewey, credited generally with the first prosecu- tion and conviction of a big-shot gangster on a felony charge in 20 1years.

Jailed Waxey Gordon A law meeting with George Z Medalie, United States Attorney, started him on the road to his present post. At the age of 29 he was placed in charge of 50 lawyers as chief assistant to Medalie. Be- fore this he never had tried a criminal case. He assisted in the prosecution of Charles E.
