Long Machine
Back in Power
Name Messtsi Mayor
Of New orloons

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 28-(R)
The once riddled Huey p,
Long political machine in Louis
lana fought its way back to pow
er in New Orleans yesterday
with q sweeping reelection vic
tory for Mayor Robert S. Macs
tri, former Long Lieutenant.
The clearcut majority given
Maestri by the city's Democrats
challenged Governor Sam H.
Jones, chosen just two years ago
ON . reform" platform. Jones
Administration has been seri-
ously crippled by political snip
ing at laws he sponsored, many
of which have been found un-
constitutional.
Jones had entered the city
campaign to speak against "dic-
tatorship" and to urge the voters
to unseat Maestri, who Is serving
out his sixth year in the office he
won in 1896.
Swept back into office with
Maestri was his entire city ticket
of commission council, judicial
and other officials.
The victory was q triumph for
the all-powerful old regular
Democratic organization in the
city and for former Governor
James A. Noe, once Huey Long
intimate, who broke with the
machine in 1895. In 1910 Noe
threw his support to Jones, af-
ter being defeated in the first
primary for Governor, to help
elect the chief executive over
Earl X. Long, Huey's brother,
who was backed by Maestri.
The Jones-Noe combination
broke down some months ago
with Noe denouncing Jones in
the current campaign.
The complete unofficial vote
from the city's 262 precincts
gave Maestro 1858 votes to 49,
623 for Herve Racivitch, around
whom the Jones forces rallied.
Shirley Wimberly polled 1924
votes and John T. Knoop 789.
Voters used polling machines
for the first time. and the cleo
ton was noteworthy for its lack
of violence.

.AEF Draws
from Allies
WASHINCTON, Jan. 20 Up,

WASk1xN14O1N, Sou' 80 VII
-Lend-lease has gone into re-
verse, il was learned officially
today, and Americas "Six, eight
or 10" Expeditionary forces are
now drawing some supplies from
nations previously on the re-
ceiving end Of the United States
aid program.
In North ireland and In the
South Pacific, particularly. Off
Gals said, the British have been
lend-leasins food, housing and
some military supplies to the
United States forces. The other
locations are military secrets,
but President Roosevelt said
yesterday that the United States
has 6, 8, or 10 such expeditions.
The process was explained TO
amount to q pooling Of the re-
sources of some of the united ma
tons, particularly the United
States and Great Britain. But
legally, the transactions are all
lend-lease, in both directions.
1t answers in part, an official
said, the frequent question of
how lend-lease articles were 60
ing to be paid back. From the
first, President Roosevelt propos-
ed that it be paid back in kind
rather than in money. Whether
the return payments will come
near balancing the books, how
ever, is something the officials
don't know.
Lend-lease cash expenditures
announced thus far amount to
about 1900, 900, 900. not count
ing a large amount Of supplies
shipped from government-owned
stocks. Lend-lease appropria-
tons amount to about $4,000
100000.
Lend-lease books were set up
originally to show what repay
ments might be made from time
to time, but such entries were
small until the United States en-
tered the war. Occasionally
Britain got credit for some met
ais or other materials supplied
United States. Now, the repay
ments are getting into sizeable
amounts.
Military secrecy prevents dis
closure of many details, but it
works something like this. Sup
pose, Britain has Z surplus Of
ammunition clips or construction
machinery that the A. Z. +. In
Ireland might happen to need.
Instead of wasting valuable ship
ping space to supply the Ameri-
can troops from this side, the
British would be asked to supply
the articles and charge it to lend
lease.
In another instance, where the
United States might be shipping
lend-lease airplanes to England
Of a type needed by the A. E. F..
the Americans over there could
borrow" some of the planes
from the British, and save the
red tape of having the shipment
made in two parts.
Without lend-lease, the Army
and Navy would have to 60
through all kinds of red tape to
get or accept the kind of assist
ance they are getting away from
home. For instance, it would
take, literally, an act Of Con-
gress to authorize the A. e. +. in
Ireland to accept q single air
plane-even one made in this
country-as q gift.

so much upon the government for
distribution and rationing of food
products and medical care that for
the first time the population is
aware of what the medical profess
sion and public health authorities
nave been preaching for such a
long time.
This is especially true Of ma
ternal and child health care. | have
heard, for instance, of a district in
Scotland near Stirling Castle
where the entire medical care Of
the district is directed by one
health officer, six deputy medical
assistants, II health visitors, SO
district nurses and midwives.
Immunizing Treatments
In time of war private rights
are relinquished and whereas a
good many people object to having
their children immunizcd against
dlphtherla, typhoid and smallpox
IN peace time, the health depart
ment does not stop to argue in war
time but starts in and makes a
thorough survey and immunizes
them just the same.
The crank who believes that
smallpox, dlphtheria and typhoid
vaccinations only inject poison is
gently but firmly put down in a
back seat and given little or no
attention. In Stirling County 1000
children were immunized in one
month and a systematic search was
being made to catch all delin-
quents. The British nation could
not afford to have one unnecessary
epidemic.
This program, however, it seems
to me is one that has been equaled
IN many American states which
have the advantage of having a
bigger health department. In some
states diphtheria lmmunization
has been carried out in school chill
dren nearly 100 per cent. | be-
lleve, however, that we still could
tighten up on u smallpox vac
cination in the United States. Like
Great Britain, we cannot afford to
have n unnecessary epidemic.

Act of 1887 would be for US quite
