NOV there is talk that the
~ Republicans may draft him,
which is TO say nominate him
without his open consent, and
il appears that some persons
think that there is some ethical
obligation TO party for man
TO accept a nomination under
such circumstances.
But what about the ethical
obligation of Gov. Dewey to the
people of the state of New
York? When man is elected
TO public office. does he not. in
effect, enter into contractual
relations with the people. or
anyway majority of the peo-
pie, 10 serve them in that office
TO the best of his ability for
the term specified by law?
Does he not in his candidacy
for that office imply that he de-
sires il for the full term and
does he ever say, II will hold
il only at my convenience and
until l get a better offer?"
is HE entitled 10 foist upon
L the people, by his relinquish-
ment, a successor. through APP
pointment. in which they have
no voice? Should not the people
of the state of New York, still
using Gov. Dewey as an ex-
ample, have redress through
legal action for damages in the
event he reinquishes his office
before the expiration of his full
term to seek the presidency?
Another thing: We have often
seen holders of one public Of
flee pursuing another, some
times far outside their own
boundaries, without relinquish-
ing their original office during
the pursuit and without relin-
gushing IL If defeated for the
other office.
Is 1T right for even the Pres
L ident of the United States to
lay aside the weighty affairs Of
his office to travel widely in
his own political interests at
great cost TO the people in the
salaries and expenses OF his en-
tourage. and TO the inconven-
fence and confusion of commu-
mites that deem il imperative
TO recognize his position?
Should he receive pay for the
time he is absent from his
duties and engaged in his per-
Sonal business or should he be
locked?
Let us discuss each of these
questions in order but kindly do
not all talk at once.

of land-based aviation to neu.
traliZe the japanese land-based
air power, the aircraft carriers,
to use Mr.. Churchills words,
become "the sole object of the
enemy's attack, thus absorbing
their own air power for their
own defense" Any attempt to
protect the carriers with battle
ships and other escort units
would only aggravate the situa-
ton, since these would merely
be another drain on air power
for their own protection, leav-
ing virtually nothing for the job
of destruction of the main tar
get.
The only thing that would
make the attack feasible is
land-based air power of our own
with a range long enough to
protect the carrier armada and
its naval escorts in Japanese
waters, just as was done in the
Gulf of Salerno. But why waste
this land-based air power to
safeguard carriers and their
contingents of planes and escort
vessels? Why use a stronger
aviation force to enable weaker
aerial units to do a job? Why
invest billions of dollars and
valuable manpower TO carry out
a highly complicated and over
tapping improvisation, when a
fraction of the investment Of
effort, materials and manpower,
put into long-range air power
operating from bases already in
our hands, can do the same job
better?
Once we build such air power
for direct action from land
bases, Japan will have a taste
of bombardment that will make
present air action against Ger
many look like child's play by
comparison.

The BRIGHTER SIDE
: By DAMON RUNYON

7 WOULD like TO discuss with
= my congregation today
slight matter that has been
troubling me for some time.
II has TO do with the techni-
cal and ethical relations be-
tween a public office holder and
the public. There may even be
a legal question involved. /
would like TO talk il over with
you folks.
Now as an example LET us
take the case of Thomas Ed
mund Dewey, the governor Of
New York state. ! could throw
in Gov. Bricker of Ohio and
Gov. Warren of California, and
Gov. Saltonstall OF Massachu-
sets, but let us confine our
selves TO one guy to avoid con-
fusion.
Well, then, we have Gov.
Dewey, very nice young man
and very able and one of my
favorites in public life. He is
being mentioned as a possibility
for the Republican nomination
for president. He has stated
that he is not a candidate, that
he wishes TO serve out his term
as governor OF New York.

WHAT happened in the Gulf

WHAT happened in the Gulf
W Of Salerno on Sept. 8 and
the following days will go down
in history not only as a bold
amphibious landing but as an
engagement shedding light on
the relationship between sea
and air power. A grasp of that
relationship is invaluable not
alone for future campaigns in
Europe, but even more so in the
Pacific.
The aerial pattern developed
in the Battle of Salerno, as I
tried to show in the preceding
article, is one in which land
based aviation shields floating
bases"-that is TO say, carriers
thereby allowing them to sur
vive in the face of enemy land
based air power. Under the
canopy of this combined land
and carrier aviation. battle
ships, invasion barges and other
naval units could operate.
Salerno, in other words.
proved once more that navies,
even if protected by their naval
air arm, cannot approach hostile
shores adequately defended by
land-based aviatio n-except
when these naval forces them
selves enjoy the support of land
based aviation.

WASHINGTON. Oct. %
" What has happened to the
propose d new tax program
is that the Roosevelt admins
tration has lost control of the
once so complacent ways and
means committee.
With Is Democratic members
TO only 10 Republicans, the
policy-naking has passed to the
minority, through a detection of
at least six members on the
majority side of the big commit
tee table.
Indeed, as matter of fact,
there are probably not more
than three Democrats ready to
support the administrations
demands that an additional
burden of SO, $50 900, 900 be i'm
posed on American taxpayers.
A MAJORITY OF THE
WHOLE COMMITTEE ARE
OF THE OPINION THAT
THIS COUN TRY SIMPLY
CANNOT STAND MORE
TAXES AT THIS TINE.
DESENTMENT grew origin
IL ally from two major mis-
takes committed by the treas
ury in offering its proposed
new tax schedule.
This plan was recognized in
stantly as a scheme for social
lied taxation, and the committee
did not relish the idea of being
used TO put over an old New
Deal objective under cover Of
war necessity.
The second mistake was made
when economic stabilizer Fred
Vinson appeared before the COM
mittee and tried TO argue that
additional taxation was essential
10 the prevention of initiation.
He made a poor showing trying
10 defend an illogical premise.
THE question for Congress
Il now becomes one of re-
trenchment, economy and re-
form within the government,
and on this line a new battle
rapidly is shaping in the House
of Representatives.
Rep. Clarence Cannon OF Mis-
souri,. chairman of the appropri-
atoms committee, was forced on
the defensive when he appeared
before ways and means. being
obliged to admit that il is his
committee WHfH CONTROLS

that the cutting down Of these
expenditures should begin there.

MAN has a tendency 10 take
VA truth and exaggerate
ecertain parts Of II until it be-
comes for all practical purposes
an untruth. The principle is
illustrated in the overemphasis
given the use of vegetable juices
during the last few years by
health food cafeterias, ideas that
vegetable juices constitute
tumor treatment, and other
half-baked ideas.
The plain facts are-as any
one can tell you who has ever
tried them, unless he Is a plain
crank--that raw vegetables are
less digestibIe than cooked vege-
tables.
Furthermore. one Of the prin-
cipal advantages Of vegetables
is that they furnish the rough
age. which advantage vanishes
when you use the juices. and the
vegetable bulk contains a great
deal more of solid nourishment
not found in the juices.
