Dewey, like near¬ ly half the Presidents of the United States, including Abra¬ ham L ncoln, has climbed the ladder to national political fame in a state other than one ,.i which he was born. The New York governor is a native of Owosso, Mich. In i selecting New York as his '“home state” for public service, j ’ ihe Republican biggest and nominee the toughest chose I the state administrative job In the i nation as his training ground ' the Presidency. tor Since George Washington’s inauguration in 1789, thirty- two men have served as presi¬ dents of the United States. Being born in one state and becoming pcl’tically identified with another Jong has been a habit in American politics. When Dewey is inaugurated in January, he will be the fourteenth President to have followed this procedure. The first was Andrew Jack- son, the seventh President Jackson was born, so close to the North Carolina-South Car- ol na line that historians still disagree which state was ac¬ tually his birthplace. “Old Hickory” went to Tennessee to launch his political career Tennessee was also the po¬ litical proving ground for two ,thcr North Carolinians, James T <. Polk, 11th President, who wap born in Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, and Andrew Johnson, 17th Presi¬ dent, who was a native of Ra- 1 igh, North Carolina. Three presidents, born in Virginia, made their political records in other states. These three Uiree were were William wuutuu Henry uuu } Har no., rjson 9th president, who went from Charles City County, Va., to Ohio; Zachary Taylor, 12th president, born In Orange coun- tv Va and elected from Lou- Isiana; and Woodrow .... Wilson 28th President, whose birth¬ place was Staunton, Virginia, and who was elected from New Jersey. New York .provided the poli- ‘ cal experience for two n|on- native Pmesidtents, Chester A. Arthur, born in Fairfield, Ver¬ mont; and Grover Cleveland, born In Caldwell, N J. Like Dewey, Cleveland was governor j i f New York. The revered Abraham Lin¬ j coln, 16th President, moved from an humble leg cabin in ! what was then, Hardin county, 'Ky, to the White House by way | of the State of Illinois, j Ulysses S. Grant, 1'dCh Presi- ! dent, was born in Point Pleas¬ ant, Ohio. A graduate of West | Point, he resigned his 4J. S. Army commission in 1854. Six 'years later, he launched wh’ch his Civil War military career 1 led to the Presidency as an of- {iecr m the uii n ois National Qugra Grant had also liveu lip St. Louis, Mo. Eenjamni Harrison, 23rd President, was also born in ; Ohio—North -mum. Bend—but chose ,, j n ^i ana tor his political, ca¬ ■; reer 1 The last two Republican | presidents—Calvin Coolidge and 1 > I Herbert Hoover— both belong to the distinguished group who • ’ | blazed paths of statesmansh.p outside their native states. Coolidge, 30th president, was born, at Plymouth, Ver¬ mont, went to Massachusetts to attend college, stayed to be¬ come the State's governor and, later, the nation’s president. Hoover, 31st President, was born at West Branch, Iowa. He became an internationally- known mining engineer and, for the greater part of his pub¬ lic career, has been identified as a citizen of California. Mr. Hoover, incid<titaJVy, the only American alive who has ever been elected to the Presidency by vote of the peo¬ ple, an honor he will share af¬ ter November with Thomas E. Dewey. No Jim Crow In British Honduras WASHINGTON, (ANPi—There is no segregat.on in British Honduras, according to Father Gerald Fairweather of the An- gelican diocese of British Hon¬ duras, Central America, despite the fact that the inhabitants are an intermixture of Spanish, Mexican and Maya Ind'ans. In a radio interview by Tom¬ linson D. Todd, president of the Institute on Race Relations, over station WOOK Sunday, Father Fairweather, who is guest of Father A. A- Birch, the vicar of St. Georges chapel, said he was quite impressed with this country and that he had met some very nice people, both white and colored. In relating some historical background of his country, the father said British Honduras is about the size of Palestine. Its area is a little more than 8,000 square miles. The land is very fertile and the large fertile plains in the north will grow anything omrlh that can be grown in the tropics. Although the northwestern section is h lly the scenery is lovely. There are five bathing beaches on the coast and the islands dotting the coast. Before 1798, he continued, the British buccaneers on the Caribbean discovered thai there were valuable woeds in the country. They settled on the spot known as Belize ani imported slaves for the cutt ng of mahogany and logwood from this area. Although the Maya Indians were the aboriginal inhabitants of British Hondu¬ ras, the whole of Central and Soutly America at that time was claimed by by Spain Shortly after the British settled there, they were at¬ tacked by the Span’ards. With the aid of the African slaves, the enemy was defeated at the battle of St. George's Bay on Sept. 10, 1798. The people o British Honduras today are de scendants of the people who defended the colony. Segrega¬ tion was never known there because it was the slaves them selves who were responsible for the freedom of the coun¬ try, and the greater part ol the community is composed of the descendants of those very slaves. Freedom of religion is prac¬ ticed there, he sa'd. There are approximately ten different de¬ nominations, including the Church of England, the Roman Catholic, the Methodist, the Baptist and the Presbyterian Faiths.
