Member, Associated Collegiate Press, 1943-44 Editorial Staff DREW C PEARSONS S h'l_ MERRY-GO-ROUND WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.---It never leaked out of the recent Sedate Republican caucus, but Sen- ator Chan Gurney of South Dakota dropped a boomerang idea for corralling Republican votes in the U.S. Army. Fellow Republican Senators didn't go for Gurney's brain-storm, partly because they thought it played down the same alley as the Harrison Spangler boner when he announced that he had had a poll made by Army officers in England which he claimed showed they were against Roosevelt. Gurney stood up in caucus to warn Republi- cans that Democratic Senators on the Military Affairs Committee, among them Kilgore of West Virginia, Wallgren of Washington, and Truman of Missouri, were determined to block the per- manent promotions of General Patton and Gen- eral Somervell. Both generals have been severely criticized, the first for slapping a sick soldier in a Sicilian hospital, the second for spending millions of the American taxpayers' dollars on the contro- versial pipe line through the Arctic wastes from Canada to Alaska. Nevertheless, the Army has tecommended both men for pernman- eut promotion to the rank of major-general. Gurney, after telling his, Republican colleagues about Democratic opposition to permanent pro- motions said : "'This is a real opportunity for the Repubh- cans to win the soldiers' vote, if we come out for it. It calls for united action on the part of all Republican Senators. And if we stick together, we can put through these promo- tions." Note: What Senator Gurney didn't seem to appreciate, however, is that it's the vote of the enlisted men that really counts. And political sharps believe the men's vote is generally oppo- site to that of offices. (Cpyrig] t, I 944.

GOP SPLIT: Willki Shuns Tradition As Dewey Plays Politics THE ISSUES at stake in the fight for the Re- publican nomination for President cleared up considerably- Wednesday when two of the strong- est candidate, Wendell L. Willkie and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, came out with statements on national problems. These utterances brought the contrast between the two men into focus. While Dewey was rais- ing his voice against a purely federal ballot for soldiers, as proposed by the Green-Lucas Bill, Willkie stated that President Roosevelt's request for more than ten billion dollars in new taxes should be doubled. Once more Dewey showed himself as the tradition - bound, conservative Republican, afraid of the ten million service votes, and hiding behind the convenient screen of states'- rights. But that's nothing particularly start- ling, for almost everyone realized where Dewey stood on such matters. The real news comes in Willkie's statement. Up until now most of the Republicans have busied themselves with throwing up their hands in horror over the so-called preposterous and extravagant request of the President for a $10,- 000,000,000 tax bill, and they did everything in their power to slash it down to a bare minimum. But here is a Republican, and a Republican with presidential aspirations at that, who takes the opposite stand. He doesn't demand that the President's request be cut in half; he asserts that it should be doubled! What brand of astute politics is this when the prospective GOP nominee says ". . . we must change our habits," while the party lead- ers are promoting a campaign for a return to "the good old days"? It looks as if this man Willkie is sincere in his statements, standing for what he knows is right instead of twisting his ideas to conform with political expediency. Such, a stand may not endear Willkie to his fellow-Republicans, but it shows the public that he is a more honest person than some of the other candidates, who value political power more than truth. -Betty Koffman WRONG; (YANSL City Nears bond c oal W HAT WAS a "kick in the teeth" to Lt. Tom Harmon when he learned that Ann Arbor had reached only 35 per cent of its war bond quota should have been a kick in the pants to his "source of information." The fact is that Ann Arbor has purchased $4,500;000 of the $4,1010,000 quota, according to DE. Seeley, local war bond auditor. However, lHarmon's sentiment, if directed at the campus effort, would indeed have been in place. There are 11 days remaining in the Fourth War Loan Drive and the "U" quota is little more than half filled. More than $60,000 is needed to reach our goal of $160,0-00; or approximately $5,500 a day. Servicemen and'faculty have done their share, and more, toward fulfilling the goal. e ho nme-gel drive-in.s now ,un to the ciilin, I'd Rather _Be Right - By SAMUEL GRAFTON NEW YORK-Feb. 4.-We have told ourselves for years that we need governments with which we can deal in the occupied countries. Mr. Churchill has said so, Mr. Roosevelt has said so, Mr. Hull has said so. The remarkable result of years of unanimity on this technical point is that we have almost no governments with which we can deal in the major occupied countries. The Badoglio government in Italy is feeble and unpopular, and therefore is operating on a short- term lease. This expires, by its own promise, when we reach Rome; i. e., there will be no Italian government just when we will need one most. ONE IS GONE, ONE LEANS ON US The de Gaulle movement has a longer lease on power, but we do not recognize it as a govern- ment. So, after years of explaining that we do some of the strange things we do because we simply must have governments with which to deal, we find ourselves without such governments for either France or Italy. We have apologized for our deals with some of the dried sausages of European politics by pointing out that we cannot afford to step off into a political unknown when we invade the Continent. Our officials have repeatedly thumped desks, and given each other medals and compliments, on this theme. We must have governments with which to deal. So, after years of this, we find ourselves about to invade the Continent, and about to step off into a political unknown. The policy of finding governments with which to deal, at any cost, has not even given us gov- ernments with which to deal. We found two men, one named Giraud and the other named Badoglio, and we announced, with many huzzahs, that here at last were forces upon which we could lean. Of these two, one has vanished from the political scene, :md tevoleA is leaning on us. IDEALOGY, STAY 'WAY FROM MY DOOR I do not raise the question, now, of whether our State Department and the British Foreign Office favor reactionary elements in Europe or not. I take them at their own terms. They have done what they have done, they say, in order to have governments with which to deal. Very well, where are those governments? We have reached a stage at which our State Department and the British Foreign Office may soon have to confess that they favor reactionary elements if only to show that they make sense. Please note that I am leaving out of this picture all ideological considerations. I take my cue from Secretary Hull. He has-said, often, that as a practical matter, we must have govern- mepts with which to deal, and that it is in- appropriate to go into the question of the precise political beliefs of the men with whom we work. Very well, then, let us overlook de Gaulle's political beliefs, let us forget that he is fiercely anti-Vichy, and let us deal with him, as a prac- tical matter. See, I throw ideology overboard. DO I QUOTE CORRECTLY? Go away, ideology, I will have none of you; I want a government with which we can deal. It has been said, of Badoglio, that we don't care whether he is monarchist or not. Fine, fine. I will take some of that. Now let us say, of the popular Six-Party coalition in Italy, that we don't care whether it is monarchist or not. If the Six-Party coalition is democratic, we will just have to overlook that. If the people of Italy don't want to be democratic later on, we shall give them every chance to have Bado- glio back. After all, we have a war on our hands; we have no time for ideology; and we must have stable governments with which we can deal. Ij think that is the way it was first put to us, a year or so ago. Do I quote you correctly, sir? (Copyright, 1944, New York Post Syndicate) Editor's note: The folowing artiele was written by Dr. Otto K. Engleke, County Health Commis- stoner. It is reprinted from The Citizens' News. S'HE WILLOW RUN Dental Clinic in Ypsilanti, up until it was closed Dec. 1, because of lack of finds, was providing emergency dental serv- ices otherwise not obtainable to war workers. It kept men and women on the job turning out the B-24 bombers. No other health project in this area is doing as much directly to keep down absenteeism. Everyone in the locality liked it. It seems a shame that an excellent project like this should be shut up for lack of federal funds. In the First Supplemental National Defense Appropriation Bill, 1944, item No. 4 of "Public Health Services-emergency health and sanitation" contained a request for $1,000,- 000 for emergency medical care to provide dentists for areas, principally war industry areas, where the number of civilian physicians and dentists is inadequate to give the attention necessary. The following quotations are taken from the report No. 822, House of Representa- tives, on this bill: Public Health Service-emergency health and sanitation-The amount recommended is $1,350,- 000 under a budget estimate of $2,350,000. The budget estimate contemplated four projects: (1) $100,000 for venereal-disease control in the Car- ibbean area, (2) $500,000 for malaria control around military and naval hospitals and prison- er-of-war camps, (3) $750,000 for major drainage projects in connection with sanitation control adjacent to war establishments, and (4) the furnishing of doctors and dentists to areas of the Uunted States unable otherwise to procure ade- quate medical service for civilian poulations. The first three projects are approved. The fourth rejected." "The budget request contained an item of $1,000,000 for emergency medical care to pro- vide doctors for areas, principally war-industry areas, where the number of civilian physicians and dentists is inadequate for normal medical attention of the population. The amount con-, templated $573,000 for salaries and travel of 300 commissioned officers of the Public Health Service for such assignments and $375,000 for three months' pay ($750 each) and travel ex- penses ($500 each) for the relocation of .(00 private physicians. Tfie coimmittee has not approved this reqnest. "Undoubtedly a critical situation exists in many areas due to the recruitment for the armed forces of approximately 50,000 doctors. The com- mittee is advised that there are approximately 185,000 doctors in the United States counting those up to 101 years of age. Of these, the armed forces have taken 50,000 leaving 135,000 doctors in the country available for the civilian population. An estimate made to the committee by a prominent medical autthority indicates that some 40,000 to 50,000 of the 135,00(1 are ineffec- tive practi ionels Iavn approxinately 85,000 to 95,000 effectivo physici:as to do the work formerly done by the larger number.

GRIN AND BEAR IT By Lichfy - 1 3, "Really seems a waste of time washing them-they lick 'em so clean." C, r° ' 1 :,- q ; x" i. _ ..< _ t /' . ., ,^ United States at this time some 213 communities that need physicians and dentists with a mini- mum need of 295 physicians and 53 dentists. Now we are told that Local Procurement and Assignment and local agencies should handle problems like this. All we know is that there are no dentists here and granted funds we know that the United States Public Health Service could put dentists here. On the ratio of one dentist to every 2,500 people (minimum), the FPIJA project at this time should have at least, four dentists. When fully occupied, this project will accommodate 22,000 people. This should call for seven dentists. We have no hope of seeing seven dentists at the Willow Run housing project. We do believe, however, that these people have the right to expect em- ergency dental care. Here then we have a situation where all local, state, and federal official and unofficial agencies agreed on the necessity. of a project and agreed on its merits. The local labor union also felt the project was a good one. It was meeting a real need and was preventing absenteeism at a very important war plant. When all people concerned were united in a request for an en- largement in the services, it was completely dis- continued because of lack of funds. The funds in themselves were of little significance when expenditures for other things in the area were considered. semester courses here, are urged to take these examinations.
