in the main Receiving Hospital
burned to death in his bed which
largely because of overcrowding)
had been showed into an alcove in one
of the corridors.
WITH Detroit's population trend
w moving steadily to the north.
west it is inconceivable that COM
petent administrators would counte-
nance closing the only city owned
hospital in the northwest section
Their apparent lack not only of
vision but of elemental judgment
would appear to warrant searching
inquiry into how they handle their
Jobs
Evidently they have long looked
on BEDFORD Receiving Hospital
branch as step. child.
ITS equipment is said to be made
L quate and in many cases obsolete.
Complaining residents of the district
backed up by staff members say it
lacks full -time prescription phar-
macy, full time laboratory service,
proper ambulance service and X-ray
equipment.
This slip shod state of affairs in
the only municipal hospital in the
most rapidly expanding section of
Detroit is disgraceful.
1t calls for some pretty quick and
plausible explanations or else an i'm
mediate reshuffling of Receiving
Hospital administration.

OF June ~.
A NNOUNCER - The National
"A Broadcasting Co. presents Ru-
pert Hughes soldier, novelist,
historian and humorist. In his COM
mentary he phrases present-day his
tory in his own entertaining style.
Now, Mr.. Rupert Hughes.
HUGHES-It is now years and
years since we in America were
thrilled by the magnifcence of the
British in their retreat from Dunkirk
the swarms of little boats crossing
and recrossing the channel to BRING
AWAY THE LIVING AND THE
CRIPPLED SOLDIERS, and the
NURSES WHO CROUCHED IN
THE SANDS BESIDE THEM, band
aging their wounds.
We remember as something al
most ancient enough to be classical
the epic figure of Winston Churchill
defying the German might promis-
ing his people "blood and sweat and
tears" and promising Hitler that the
British would fight him ION the
beaches, in the cities, and in the
hills"
He seemed to stand upon the
stormy cliffs of England like another
King Lear defying the thunder and
the lightning in words that riva1ed
Shakespeare's poetry or the Greek
of Demosthenes.
As if in terror of that challenge,
Hitler turned auUay from that almost
unarmed, that defenseless land and
Rinched from ,Dhat might Weii haze
been the most tragic triumph of eUil
in all the ages.
Churchill has been used to the
cruelties Of bad luck and has borne
them like Falstaff with joviality
and laughter, but without Falstaff's
buster or his cowardice.
OF LATE, Churchill has been in
" eclipse. He has been enduring
violent abuse because of the use he
has made of the Spanish Franco.
Heaven forbid that | should seem
to say a good word of such an enemy
of freedom, such a destroyer of his
own people. But the American Com
munists hate Franco, not because
he crushed the Spanish republic,
but because he CRUSHED THE
SPANISH COMMUNISTS, while
England and our own country let the
Republican patriots fail for fear of
helping THE SPANISH CON-
MUNISTS.
The American Communists pick
eted the White House during the
early part of the war, then
CHANGED FACE and reviled any
American who said a critical word
about our government.
Next, they denounced Secretary
Hull and the administration for
temporizing with the Italian king
and Badoglio.
Abruptly, to their horror, Stain
recognized the king and Badoglio,
whereupon the American Com.
n,unists blushlessiy shosOered their
poisonous praise on poor Secretary
Hull.
They change with every wind
that blows across the steppes.
Their god and MASTER Stain,
DISOWNED THEM and made them
ridiculous again and again. But
they never disown HIM. They can

crushing defeat and LEFT RUSSIA
WITHOUT OUR ALL IMPOR-
TANT PLANES, TANKS, GASO-
LINE AND FOOD.
Imagine what .Oould haze hap
pened If the attack had been made
before the German submarines Were
crushed, before the iuft.Uafe Was
almost driven from the skies, before
German factories and cities Were
showered Nth millions of tons of
bombs.
AS it is, we gained few miles of
beachhead and few miles of depth
in an attack as overwhelming as the
rush of tidal wave.
Even that foothold was won only
by GOOD LUCK and GOOD TIM
ING, com bined with SUPREME
GENIUS in planning, RUTHLESS
COURAGE in the onset, and IN
CREDIBLE SUCCESS in the fol-
low-up with reinforcements and
supplies.
A S ALWAYS, a few little details
"A stand out in the maelstrom of
titanic combat that dwarfs the
battles of heather gods who threw
mountains at one another and
wrestled among the clouds.
One of these Was the Core
spondenf Bryant's account of his trip
across the channel in plane loaded
with paratroopers, each of them 80
burdened with equipment that he
HAD TO BE LIFTED into the plane
80 burdened With equipment that
he COULD NOT JUMP from it but
must be KNOCKED OUT INTO
SPACE by powerful bloW on the
back from the next man behind him.
1t was like a return to the DAYS
when knights were so heavily ar
mored that they had to be lifted to
their saddles; and if his horse fell,
the warrior lay helpless as an in
verted turtle while some peasant
with a dagger finished him off at
leisure.
MR.. BRYANT told of the moods
A'A of the men and how the ways of
their courage was revealed or con-
cealed as they approached the jump
ing-off place. s
But the poignant one | remember
was the poor fellow whose follower
struck him glancing blow that sent
him, not out above the fatal field
beneath, but up AGAINST THE
WALL OF THE PLANE, and so
hard that he was knocked uncon-
scious.
When he came to, all his COM
rades were gone, perhaps to their
deaths below.
The plane was far past the spot
where he was due.
1t could not return and he was
dragged back to England and safety
But he was BROKEN-HEARTED
AND ASHAMED TO BE ALIVE.
His only prayer was that he
should be given chance to return in
the next plane.
That is the human note, the
INDIVIDUAL note and the greatest
armies are made up of INDIVIDUAL
MEN.
They are fighting for the liberty
and dignity of individual men. Col.
lectiUism can go only so far.

AIS, hunger and love and hate as

CONCLUDING, we print what

Finland at the time President RooSe-
welt paid his tribute to the honest
little democracy of the north-as
follows
"Oniy FinIand-superb, nay sublime,
in the jaWs OF peril-Finland shoWs
whot free men can do. The service rem.
dered by Finland to mankind is n,agni-
fcent IT,. We cannot tell What the fate
of Finland may be, but no more mourn
full spectacle could be presented to What
is left of civilized mankind than that
this splendid northern race should be at
last Worn doWn and reduced to serUitude
worse than death by the dull, british
force of overwhelming numbers"
Finland is NOT OUR ENEMY-and
she has NEVER BEEN OUR ENEMY.
She is, because of circumstances over
which she has had no control, now between
two totalitarian nation-eaters.
But the nation that is her perpetual
enemy is SOVIET RUSSIA, who is our
military ally. but who is NOT OUR ALLY
when it comes 10 stealing democracies.

The Tragedy of Finland

There is no alliance between
i Germany and Finland. The Fin
nish government is free agent, not
a Nazi stooge regime.
O-The Firms have engaged in no
Il offensive operations against
Russia) for more than two years.
O-The Firms are not Slavs and
y have mot the slightest affinity
with Russia. F"
1.-The labor leaders of Finland are
Il for fighting the war against
Russia to the bitter end.
E-On April 7, 1884, the Soviets and
- Finland concluded nonaggres-
sion pact. Russia cynically broke
that pact in 1889 by invading Fin
land.
CSC obviously criminal was this
" that on Dec. IA, 1889, Russia was
expelled from the League of Nations.
7-Under the forced treaty of 1910,
in which Russia grabbed part of
Finland in plebiscite, 100000
Firms moved out of the new Russian
areas, signifying their opposition to
Stalinism.
O-Chamberlin quotes state de-
Q partment release of June %,
1941, to show that this second Soviet
Finnish war as we'll as the first was
caused by Soviet aggression. Here is
the official statement Of June %,
1941:
Germany inUodes the Soviet
Union. The latter raids Finland"
FINLAND has indicated to Moscow
y that she desires to end the war.
Russia has deliberately made the
terms so humiliatingly impossible as
to force Finland to continue to fight.
1O-Finland has at no time per
III secuted Jews or Catholics and
is the enemy of Nazi "racism.
11-Finally, Chamberlin says with
l. l. truth
"The treatment melted out to Finland
IN the peace settlement lDiil be an acid
test of the reality of the Atlantic Char.
ter and the Four Freedoms"

LIVERY WORD OF THE ABOVE
IL uttered by President Roosevelt
in 1910 is TRUE in 1914.
Chamberlin, who spent IL years
in Russia as correspondent of Ameri-
can newspapers and whose inside
knowledge of European affairs is
second to none, tells us:

That is the human note, the
INDIVIDUAL note and the greatest
armies are made up of INDIVIDUAL
MEN.
They are fighting for the liberty
and dignity of individual men. COL
lectiUisr can 60 only so far.
We live and die as INDIVIDU-
AIS, hunger and love and hate as
INDIVIDUAL men. Neither in war
nor in peace should men be thought
of as merely atoms in a mass.
uIDEOUS, horrible, lethal as the
IL war is, the glorious thing about
it is that our generation has RE-
FUSED TO YIELD to the greatest
and most expert ENEMIES OF
LIBERTY that ever disgraced and
tormented humankind.
We have spared nothing of blood
or treasure, skill or courage to save
the world from relentless evil.
We shall hand down to our de-
scendants the FREEDOM WE RE-
CEIVED from our ancestors
undiminished and unconquered.
The liberty THEY fought for WE

The Little Red SchO0lhouse
(New York Times)


 American education has come a long way since Abraham Lincoln had to walk seven miles to borrow book which he then studied by the flickering, satisfactory light from log cabin fireplace It still has long way to go, is made clear by the reports presented to the White House Conference Rural Education
 Despite the educational programs of recent years especially the organization of rural district schools equipped with suitable laboratories and gymnasiums and staffed with well-trained teachers, the over romantcized little red schoolhouse still houses big percentage of our school population. It isn't good enough.
 Even more distressing than the rural educators reports the inadequacy of school buildings is the record of the salaries paid to the teachers and the consequent failure to attract educated educators to rural school jobs Some receive bare subsistence wage. No matter how thin you slice the cost of living, SIP week doesn't make for very heavy eating A good teacher is more important than good school He can overcome poor equipment. President Garfield said of Mark Hopkins of Williams that a university was Hopkins end of log and a student on the other" The finest school building in the world cannot make up for inadequate mental equipment of the teachers.
 All the wonders of the continents, the seas around them and the skies over them, the accumulated knowledge of the centuries in the textbooks of today. But for too many young Americans the in formation is locked there securely if it were in the gold vaults at Fort Knox, Kentucky Only a Uralneu euucdtoI hey. f1o iui eici matter of fact even the trained educator needs an extra sort of spark the ignition and communication of which needs sedulous nursing If he plies his art in we'll lighted well-heaed, well-ared building with
 laboratory where he prove the laws he expounds, he has more responsive audience Sustained respon- siveness in child audiences is and difficult atmosphere to bring about. The Lincolns manage to teach themselves Most of us are not that well en- dowed with brains. It is to be hoped that real Charter for Rural Education will come out of the Washington meetings, that be put into immediate effect.

AVOIDS STATION CROWDS

Dewey is still anxious to avoid the appearance of transforming, as did Landon and Willkie There fore cuts down on impromptu talks, keeps them at minimum. To help do this, Dewey has ordered train routes kept secret, hopes to keep station crowds down. However occasionally crowds yell so loudly the Governor and Mrs. Dewey go out, take a bow. At one recent stop the crowd numbered several thousand. However, Dewey, not yet dressed, wouldn't make an appear ance. In 1940, Willkie slung a bathrobe over his shoulders, ap- peared several times hair tousled, waving gaily to crowds regardless of their size, despite warnings of his physician against early morn ing stops.
 Unlike the Willkie train, which was hectic, often chaotic, the Dewey train runs like well geared machine. Newsmen do no tearing of their hair worrying over advance copies of speeches. Re- leases are ready at least six hours before delivery time Dewey sticks very closely to the prepared text, practices his speeches several times for the benefit of his campaign cabinet before each appearance.

Since the campaign picked up speed, Dewey rarely even appears at the executive chambers, does all his work at the ugly, bulking ex- ecutive mansion in Albany No list of callers is given out daily as by the White House. Result is, few know who Dewey sees or what they talked about.

was correspondents found covering Willkie a nightmare, consider Dewey very tame. Dewey has also studiously avoided another Willkie habit, giving away the theme of his forthcoming speeches in day time talks to small audiences. Willkie frequently did this, some times expressed himself better in the early part of the day when his voice was good, than he did at night before impressive radio net works.
 The Governors wife seems to enjoy the campaign trips, works at being unobtrusive, staying out of her husbands way. At stops, Mrs. Dewey greets local Republican women, is always accompanied by Irene Kuhn or Anne Wheaton of the COP National Committee staff. Mrs. Dewey makes no speeches, ex- presses no views, and Republican strategists emphasize this in order to capitalize on the controversial character of Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs. Dewey, they insist, is home body.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 27

Benefic aspects rule today, which should be of unusual importance in history. United Nations command CTS are under planetary influences that presage great successes.
 HEART AND HOME: General optimism concerning the early re- turn to normal conditions will be prevalent but again warning is given that complete defeat of the Japanese may be slowly accom- plished
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Private enterprise, on which the wealth and power of the American business structure has been built, will con- tinue to assure prosperity after the war. Despite radical influences within the nation, fair competition among merchants and manufactur- CTS will continue indefinitely, the seers foretell.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Intense ac- tivity among campaign workers in the national election will be pro ductive of much hard feeling as speeches and propaganda become more and more colored by preju- dice. After November, patriotism will unite the nation as it re- joices over Allied victories.
 INTERNATIONAL FAIR s.: Venus and Jupiter eliminating over Tokyo appear to presage artful peace offers which will not be taken seriously. As the Japanese people realize that the United Ma tions will concentrate on defeat of Asiatic enemies; there will be panic and even revolution.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of per- plexities; it will be wise to be cautious about money.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be emotional and head- strong, yet exceedingly lovable. They will be more fortunate in business than in love affairs.

LIKES HIS POPCORN

After dinner, the Dewey chef reaches up to a shelf, pulls down a box of unpopped corn, pops il fresh over a charcoal burner. All evening while working Dewey munches popcorn, ordering a new warm batch now and then, con- sumes about box every three days, likes it dipped heavily in butter although he worries about his weight. For variety, Dewey munches potato chips, sips at ginger ale or mineral water.
 Inside the Dewey car, RIGA has loaded a magnificent simplifying set, radio and listening equipment Through these, Dewey tunes in on newscasts, likes to listen to good music en route. He also has a telephone in his car, which is con- nected at lengthy stops, in order to contact COP headquarters in Albany or New York City
 Dewey still makes few back-plat- form speeches, even if crowds con- gregate in the rear of his car When he does speak, two huge amplifiers mounted over the back end of the platform carry his words to the crowd. Dewey used to survey his audience, always started by saying: Doesn't look like there's a New Dealer in the crowd" But he has stopped this after being bf oed by Roosevelt supporters on sey aral occasions.
 Only two of the nine cars of the Dewey train are paid for by the Republican National Committee The other seven carry about 7C correspondents from all over the country, with an occasional foreign correspondent anxious to tell the
