Thomas E. Dewey

Uh, incredible amount of tensions.

It's, uh, a, a boiling pot, like not a melting pot, as Thomas Dewey once said of New York.

[laughs]

Thank you for coming.

The Cardinals were 2-1 favorites going into the series, and they won the first game.

But here in Kansas City, they remember 1948 when Tom Dewey led Harry Truman for eight innings.

Well, game two is approaching in Kansas City as the Royals try to square this one.

At a game apiece, the Cardinals try to go up 2-0.

However, for some mysterious reason, Friedman was never called either to support or repudiate this testimony of Safford's.

Another interesting point brought out by Morgenstern on pages two hundred and one and two hundred and two was that Marshall, fearing that Thomas E. Dewey in the nineteen forty-four campaign was about to expose Marshall's part in the Pearl Harbor disaster, sent to him a staff officer with letters from Marshall and persuaded Dewey that such an exposure would inform Japan that we had broken her code and would thereby impair our military efforts.

Dewey was apparently convinced and, being a loyal American, did not mention this matter during the campaign.

On page two hundred and two, Morgenstern points out that this was a deliberate deception practiced upon Dewey because Marshall knew the Japanese had found out as early as nineteen forty-one that we had broken the Japanese code and had so informed the Japanese.

If the Germans believed that defeat meant the destruction of their country, they would fight that much harder.

Or, as Republican presidential candidate Thomas Dewey put it, now they are fighting with the frenzy of despair.

And speaking of the election, Roosevelt campaigned vigorously in the final weeks.

In Chicago, he spoke to a full house of 125,000 people at Soldier Field.

Exactly.

But that famous 1948 whistle-stop campaign, Truman goes after Thomas Dewey.

Well, I was going to say basically.

He does refer to Dewey as a fascist.

and suggests that he's surrounded by people who are not particularly different from the kind of folks who were surrounding the fascists in Europe that were just defeated.

I don't know if you know anything about Thomas Dewey.

He may have been kind of a bland presidential candidate, but he was no fascist.

And that kind of rhetoric, again, I think in the long run, it worked.

It was the society wedding of the season.

800 guests, and among them was Thomas E. Dewey.

He was Manhattan's famous racket-busting district attorney.

He'd soon be governor of New York and twice the Republican nominee for president.

This recording is by Michelle Fry, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2025. a note to the reader this novel is based on certain experiences i had while working as a newspaper man in new york back in the days when tom dewey was smashing the luciano mob names and dates have been changed to protect the innocent but the essential facts are all here The anonymous call girl in this story is actually a composite figure.

The incidents in her life are founded on facts related to me by principals in the Luciano trial and include inside details not brought out in the courtroom.

Certain scenes result from my own eyewitness observations.

it wasn't until i reached my apartment again that i discovered that i was only an insignificant figure in the day's events frightened and despairing i glanced at the newspapers i had brought home i was certain that the story of my visit to the d a would be headline news then the tremendous scope of the investigation struck me Flying squadrons had covered the city and conducted forty raids the night before.

Somehow the place where I had been working escaped the net.

It was the opening drive of a full-scale crusade, led by Special Prosecutor Tom Dewey.

Lucky Luciano and his mobsters didn't have a chance.
