Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-12-15

THE quarrel among the New
l. Dealers over the reorganiZa-
ton of the state department
goes much deeper than personal
opposition to Messrs. Grew.
Rockefeller, Clayton, MacLeish,
Dunn and Holmes.
1t is struggle for power
within the New Deal between
Harry Hopkins and Henry Wal
lace.
1t is a struggle for power
over the President of the United
States.
Perhaps you will recall that
during the campaign it was
said that Mr.. Hull would con-
tinue in office.
That was not true. Mr.. Hull
could not have continued and
ii was known that he would
not.
To the New Deal, Mr.. Hulrs
usefulness lay in his con-
tinuance in office, just as Miss
Perkins usefulness in her con-
tinuance in office.
AS long as they sat at their
desks, the struggle for their
positions did no. reach the
public eye nor embarrass the
President.
But Mr.. Hull could not hold
out for a fourth term and gave
Mr.. Wallace and his friends an
opportunity for a showdown on
who runs the New Deal.
MORE like a French bloc, the
WI New Deal is an amalgam
of political groups, some often
opposed to each other.
For instance, the Southern
Democrats have nothing in
common with the Communist
Political Association.
The editors of up. NJ" have
nothing in common with the
Jesse Jones businessmen.
The big city bosses have
nOIul1R III COllllitOIi WIN piC
Go leftists.
Yet, they all adhere TO the
amalgam because only so can
they remain in power.
The de facto operative OF this
amalgam is Harry Hopkins who
has developed, during his II
years in the White House, po-
litical astuteness of the highest
order.
True. the Political Action
Committee aided in the election
of Roosevelt. but should that
mean that Roosevelt be per-
mitted to become the political
prisoner of Earl Browder, Sid
ney Hillman and Henry Wal
lace?
1t is Harry Hopkins task TO
protect his chief from all the
elements in the amalgarn so
that they remain the instru-
ments Of his policy. not he of
theirs.

The matter reached jFDR and
Mr.. Knox, but they sent
friendly letters saying he was

After Pearl Harbor, Malone

A MONG the many factors
"a which contribute to the in

things which couldn't possibly

ally-reliable party called up
with the following:
ELMER Davis, boss OF OWL,
got into an elevator in the So
cial Security Building the other
day with his secretary, Caro-
line Warner. As they entered
the car, a fellow in the back
said Good morning"
"On leaving the car, Davis
said to his secretary, who was
that?' and she replied:
"'Oh, nobody to speak Of
only Cap Krug, chairman OF the
War Production Board""
The story sounded all right,
but / called Davis secretary to

a horse watering trough near

who hadn't seen any thirsty
horses in Washington recently,
parked his car in front of il the

When he returned, a cop
handed him a ticket with the
notation; For obstructing a

The marine demanded TO

come up for a drink during his
absence but the copper said he
didn't have TO answer those
kind Of questions.

selected men who are really not
members of any of the groups,
except as Will Clayton has been
associated with Jesse Jones.
They are Hopkins men; they
are essentially bureaucrats asso-
ciated with the mayor of the
palace.
Harry Hopkins takes over the
state department and shows
that nobody won the election
but Franklin d. Roosevelt.
1t is an assertion of Roose-
velt's independence of all his
supporters.
Most of them will bend the

CLIMATE and weather and
~ their effects on mans hap
piness and health are subjects
which have been studied since
the d avs OF Hippocrates, the
Father 81 -: srfiedieife,- ~ffIs=6e--
voted one part of his writings
to .Qf Seasons and Places
But only of late is il beginning
to be studied with careful scien-
tific methods.
Climate and weather have
some w hat different connota-
tons.
A tropical climate brings con-
tinuos health hazards.
But weather, which means. OF
course, variations in barometric
pressure, humidity. heat and
cold affects the body by mere
physical changes.
Every one knows or has heard
OF the fellow with rheumatism
or a bullet in his leg who can
predict the approaching storm.
There have been scoffers at
such abilities. but there Is no
reason 10 doubt them. and many
theoretical reasons explain
why they should be true.
Barometric pressure and tenn
perature changes in the atmos-
phere both affect blood pressure
and circulatory adjustments OF
mass distribution OF blood.
Why should not the more
rapid circulation OF the blood
which is required by the onset
OF cold weather cause partic-
nular spot of scar tissue to be-
come congested and throb?
nR. WILLIAM F. PETERSON
~ OF Chicago has taken the
trouble TO look up the weather
records and make some valuable
correlations in some ia m ous
cases.
The effect Of extra exertion
on attacks of angina pectoris is
well known. but many instances
are on record where extra exer-
ton. or indeed exertion OF any
kind did not precede an attack.
The first patient in whom II
was definitely proved that clot
In the blood vessels Of the heart
caused pain in the heart region
was that recorded by DR.. James
b. Herrick of Chicago.
The patient was man 30
years old who had his attack at
midnight on Jan. 10, 1910, after
no more effort than is involved
In eating a late supper.
Now DIR. Peterson has looked
up the weather reports for that
period and finds that there was
n sharp change in the weather
on the very day Of the attack.
