Just a Tourist

If New York's Governor Thomas E. Dewey had not been so clear of eye and so steady of voice when he declared that he would never run for President again, he might have been suspected last week of acting like a candidate. The governor announced that he would set off this month (after getting briefed by General MacArthur) for the Korean fighting front and would also visit Japan, Indo-China, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand and Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek.

For the suspicious, he pointed out that he planned to travel as a private citizen in a commercial airplane, paying for tickets, hotel expenses and other incidentals himself. He was going only because he has long felt "that the Pacific and the Southeast Asia areas are of vast importance to the future of the free world."
