The Governor's wife seems to enjoy the campaign trips, works at being unobtrusive, staying out of her husband's way. At stops, M Dewey gree local Republican women, is always accompanied by Irene Kuhn or Anne Wheaton of the GOP National Committee staff. Mrs. Dewey makes no speeches, ex- presses no views, and Republican rategists emphasize this in order to capitalize on the controversial character of Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs. Dewey, they insist, is a home body. Dewey rarely leaves his private car during tri makes only oc- casional forays to visit the press, but plays hard at being a hail- fellow-well-met. The bulk of the correspondents still dislike Dewey think him stuffy, say he neve unbends, locks like he is acting a role in a drama night and day. Two best Dewey efforts to unbend thus far came when he played a round of poker, one night, in the press car, and when he wandered into the lounge with his entourage and was wheedled into singing several campaign songs.
