The Scandinavian Kings
If all the characters in the king business had been as
folksy, democratic and considerate of their subjects as the
Scandinavian monarchs of recent decades, the institution of
monarchy might not be as near the vanishing point as it is.
Gustav V of Sweden was a shining example of a king
fitting his conduct and his kingship into the pattern of so-
cialist government, and becoming a genuine hero to his
people. To much the same extent, the kings of Norway and
Denmark have done the same thing. Britain supplies an-
other example of successful mixing of monarchy and so-
cialism.
The British have retained much of the panoply and
pomp of monarchy, while the Scandinavian kings have dis-
pensed with most of the glitter and ceremony that surrounds
a throne. Gustav V of Sweden, who died Oct. 29 at the age
of 92, was a great mixer. Until his 88th year he played ten-
nis with all comers, and he played it not badly. He was a
mighty huntsman, with an estimated one thousand elk to
his credit.
I He was no slouch as a diplomat. He is credited with
talking Hitler out of overrunning Sweden, as he had over-
run Denmark and Norway.
I Into Gustav’s shoes, as Gustav VI goes Crown Prince
Gustav Adolf. The new ruler is no spring chicken; at 67,
fie has accumulated enough experience to handle the kingly
foie without trouble.
. The new Crown Prince is 4-year-old Prince Carl, who
moved up in the succession when his father, Prince Gus-
tav Adolf, son of the new monarch, died in an airplane ac-
cident in 1947.
The wit and humanness of the late King Gustav V help-
ed endear him to his people. In one of his frequent un-
escorted strolls around Stockholm, the story goes, two young
girls looked him over, and one said to the other, “How
old and wrinkled he is.”
Overhearing, the king replied: “Yes, but his hearing is
awfully, awfully good.”

WASHINGTON.—When this hot
and hectic election campaign is
over, the weirdest story undoubt-
edly will be that of how Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey bulldozed Lieut.
Gov. Joe Hanley out of the New
York gubernatorial race an<V his
efforts to destroy the Hanley let-
ter which followed. ^
- - inside facts regarding
this amazing story not hitherto P
published.
The story began, of course, in
late August when the polls showed
Truman’s political poularity at its
lowest ebb and when Korean de-
feats were at their worst. At this
time Winthrop Aldrich, head of
the Chase National Bank, con-
ferred in Bar Harbor, Me., with
his brother-in-law, John D. Rocke-
feller, and as a result, Aldrich
staged a luncheon of GOP bigwigs
in his office, August 28, at which
he laid down an ultimatum that
H.anley must withdraw from the
race and Dewey must be the
gubernatorial candidate.
Otherwise, Aldrich bluntly
warned, no campaign funds would
be forthcoming. Since Aldrich has
been the biggest single money-
raiser for Dewey, this warning
meant something.
What Dewey’s banking friends
figured was that, with Truman
popularity down and the Korean
war going badly, the long-awaited
opportun’ty to put their man in
the White House was just around
the corner. But there was one
big complication. Since Dewey
wanted to be drafted, he had to
get Hanley—upon whom he had
placed his blessing—to withdraw
gacefully from the ace.
Hanley's Mental Mauling
To that end, Hanley was sum-
moned to Dewey's apartment in
the Roosevelt Hotel in New York,
September 1, where Dewey, Con-
gessmen William Pfeiffe of Ken-
more and Dean Taylor of Troy
put the heat on him. The 74-
year-old Hanley, however, had
long looked forward to the honor
of being governor, and did not
withdraw gracefully. In fact, it
was not until 2 a. m. that he

finally gave in; then only after
Dewey promised a $15,000 salary
with the throughway commission
and a $15,000 vice presidency with
one of the Rockefeller oil com-
panies.
By this time Hanley was so ex-
hausted he had lost the sight of
his one good eye, arra, when flown
back to Albany in the morning, his
eyes were bandaged and the tears
streamed out from under the band-
agfeA > His daughter, Mrs. Jose-
phine Wilcox, - welcoming her
father, broke down.
"Why didn’t they shoot him in-
stead of doing this,” she sobbed.
GOP Moats at Saratoga
Next week the Republican State
Convention met in Saratoga to
nominate, and on Tuesday, Sep-
tember 5, Jim Leary, close friend
of and personal attorney for Han-
ley, tried to find Congressman
Kingsland Macy. Macy, meeting
with the Suffolk County delega-
tion, could not be reached until
later in the evening at the con-
vention hall.
There Leary pulled him aside
and under candlelight—the elec-
tricity having gone off—showed
him a carbon copy of the now
famous Hanley letter, telling of
the Dewey pledge to take care of
Hanley's debts and future finan-
cial welfare if he withdrew from
the race.
"Good God, what’s this” ex-
claimed Macy.
“You’re going to get your copy
in the morning,” Leary explained.
Apparently Leary had encour-
aged Hanley to write the letter,
and had kept a copy. Next morn-
ing Macy received the original of
the letter by messenger and was so
fearful its contents might leak
that he sent his secretary all the
way to Long Island to have it
photostated. She stood by while
12 photostats were made.
Macy then transmitted one copy
each to Frank Gannett of the Gan-
nett newspapers and Whitelaw
Reid of the New York Herald
Tribune. Reid, who was at Paul
Smiths, N. Y., then telephoned
Dewey at Saratoga and gave his
assistant, Paul Lockwood, a sum-
mary of the letter. This was with
the idea that Dewey, knowing of
the Hanley letter in advance,
might want to reconsider his plan
to run for governor.
Dewey Storm*
Dewey, however, remained out-
wardly unperturbed. But that
night, around midnight, he sent
word that he wanted to see Kings-
land Macy about "the Hanley let-
ter.”
There followed a conference be-
tween Macy, Frank Moore, candi-
date for lieutenant governor, and
Hanley’s close friend, Ray Rich-
mond. They urged Macy not to
take the Hanley letter to the
Dewey conference for fear the gov-
ernor would seize ft physically.
So Macy gave It to Richmond for
safekeeping.
It was also decided that Macy
should take a witness with him,
and Charles Duryea, brother of the
conservation commissioner, was
summoned. By this time It was
around 1 a. m., and Dewey was
getting Impatient. Finally Macy
arrived at Dewey’s suite with
Moore and Duryea at about
1:30 a. m.
The governor was stretched out
on the bed, "I've had a helluva
day,” he said.
Then he went on to tell Macy
—for some time a bitter enemy—
that they had both been through
a lot together, that he had always
signed Macy’* bills in the legis-
lature and that next year he, Dew-
ey, would not lie so active and
Frank Moore, prospective lieuten-
ant governor, would lie taking care
of things.
This cordiality was interrupted
by a heated difference over Dew-
ey's statement regarding Hanley's
withdrawal. The governor waved
a finger under Macy’s nose and
said: “I’ll leave the room."
“No,” replied Congressman Ma-
cy. “I’m the invited guest. I’ll
leave." v,
Dewey calmed down, and Moore
remarked: “What about the let-
ter?"
An Extra Copy
This was the first mention of
the now famous Hanley letter.
“I understand Joe Hanley has
written you a letter.” Dewey told
Macy, “and I want you to de-
stroy it.”
Macy declined. Dewey argued;
Macy remained adamant. Dewey
jumped up, paced the floor, shook
his finger, asked Macy a total of
four times to destroy the letter.
“I’ll come three-quarters of the
way to make peace with you,”
Dewey argued, “if you’ll come a
quarter of the way by giving up
that letter.”
Finally Macy said: “Someone
else has a copy of the letter over
whom 1 have no control — Jim
Leary.”
“Leary!” exclaimed Dewey.
“He’s an attorney for the race-
track interests. That’s terrible, ter-
rible, terrible!
At this news the governor ap-
peared almost on the verge of a
collapse. The meeting ended at
3 a.m.
Dewey still had not been nom-
inated by the convention, and
Macy with other Hanley friends
seriously considered going on the
convention floor next day and
reading the letter. They also con-
sidered warning Dewey that they
would read the letter. However,
they did neither.
Since then, two attempts have
been made by important GOP
leaders to get Macy to destroy
the original of the Hanley letter
—one by Congressman Dean Tay-
lor, who argued with Macy that
Hanley’s signature was a forgery;
the other by kindly ex-Speaker
Joe Martin, who put a slew of
nickels in a pay phone to call
Macy ,and suggest that he burn
the letter.
However, Macy still has the
original, together with eight of the
12 photostats which his secretary
made.

confined to the pulpit section of
the main auditorium apd the roof.
PROTECTING THE PRESIDENT
By DREW PEARSON
The Secret Service has been urg-
ing the President, following tilt-
assassination attempt in front °*

riskiest part-of his daily curricu-
lum, even though they have seven
men with him Actually the public
doesn’t realize that seven men are
w^h him, because a couple are in
front, two or three behind and oth-
ers in an automobile.
However, Mr. Truman is most
reluctant to change his habits. He
enjoys htis breath of fresh air

List Of Possible Assassins
The Secret Service has long kept
a file on those who might attempt
violence against the President, and
immediately after the Blair House
aitempt they checked through the
file—which totals 50,000 names
I’iie two Puerto Ricans were not
on the list.
Almost 99 per cent of the list
are crackpots who have written
threatening, obscene or objection-
1 able letters to the President. What
hasn't gotten into the papers, how-
ever, it that several have actually
pocketed guns and tried to get in-
to the White House.
The Secret Service isn’t talking
about these cases, except to say
that the armed callers and other
dangerous cases are hustled to St.
Elizabeth* Mental Hospital.
All crackpot letters arc carefully
screened by the Secret Service's
protective research section, and are
indexed 28 different way*—by
type, script, print, color, paper,
wording, etc. Thu* even the anon-
< vinous letters can be associated
with known writers.
These letters pour into the White
House at a rate of more than 1,000
per month. However, only the most

cautions, the Secret Service had
not investigated the Puerto Rican
Nationalists since the anti-America
outbreaks in Puerto Rico. This was
admitted to tins column at first by
:i Secret Service spokesman, who
Inter changed his story and insist-
ed that he simply had "no com-
ment." As a result, the Secret Ser-
vice did not have a line on the two
attempted assassins, Oscar Collazo
and C.rtzclio Tnrresola, though
Torresola was one of the ringlead-
ers of the terrorist organization in
(his country.
