[ | = WASHINGTON—The Republican ionist logjam is slowly but steadily breaking up. Another big| chunk will now cut loose in Lhc‘\ person of Tom Dewey. Now that the New York City election is over the dapper little District Attorney, who is voluntar- ily quitting this job which gave him his political start, will make a speech in which he will desert the isolationist camp. Dewey will not go all the way with Wendell Willkie, GOP titu- lar leader, who has come out for a declaration of war against Hit- ler. But he will endorse the policy of aiding foes of Nazism and will call for national unity behind the President, Behind the scenes, Dewey has been wobbling on the foreign issue for some time. With his eye fixed on the New York gubernatorial race next year as a stepping stone for another try at the preslden"u in 1944, he has been in a stew| which ‘way to jump. What cautious ! statements he has made have been | of an isolationist tenor and he has been considered in the“anti” fold. But after some secret polling in key sections of the “state, Dewey | finally became convinced that if he wants to be Governor he will have to disassociate himself clearly and definitely from any isolation- ist taint. So he will take the plunge in a speech carefully staged to ensure the widest publicity.
