WHITE HOUSE BARRIERS The street which separates the White House from (East Executive Avenue) is now blocked off on account of the war. Passing this barrier, a taxicab pas- senger remarked to the driver: “What's the matter? Don't they trust you cab drivers?” “Oh yes, sir,” replied the driver. “But they don't trust our passen- gers.” This particular passenger was William Vasmer, executive of Re- public Steel Corporation, now with the War Production Board. TOM DEWEY AND USO Main reason for the resignation of Tom Dewey. as national chairman of the United Service Organiza- tion was that he wanted to throw his full energies into campaigning for the New York governorship. However, this isn't the whole story. Inside fact is that Dewey has been fed up with the USO job for| some time, tells friends that it might prove more a liability than| help in the gubernatorial cam- paign. The New York racket-buster plans to make the governorship (if he wins) presidential nomination in 1944, and the USO chairmanship seemed like an excellent publicity sideline when he first took over. However, it hasn't worked out that way. The USO has failed somehow to Dewey himself has done a remark- catch the public fancy, though able job raising funds. To friends, Dewey has made no secret of his dissatisfaction. ‘ Last fall Dewey furiously served notice on the Federal Works an investigation if the FWA didn't expedite the building of recrea- tional centers for service men.
