Wendell Willkie. Thoroughly Presidential is Utilitycoon Willkie, the home spun Indianian who makes sense on any subject (New Dealers would except TVA). Mr. Willkie, 48, no Tory, is brilliant, countrified, adept in controversy and, to many minds, the best domestic brain on politico-economics. He has two serious handicaps-he is associated in the public mind with utilities; he is unknown politically west of the Mississippi...
Died. Samuel Untermyer, 81, smart Manhattan attorney, orchid fancier and politico; of pneumonia; in Palm Springs, Calif.

Cynical City. After 17 years in New York City, Thomas Dewey still bears the mark of Owosso. Newspapermen who got along fine with Jimmy Walker find him a little on the heavy side. Nor is the District Attorney a sophisticated, well-adjusted metropolitan politico like Republican National Committeeman Kenneth Simpson, who has a Matisse on his wall, Alexander Kerensky for his guest. Thomas Dewey takes his career and campaigning hard, has never been able, like most New Yorkers, to slide easily through the city's life, or pay without questioning the physical and intellectual tribute it demands. He remembers...
