for promotion of physical medi-

Physical medicine makes use of
messages, water, light, heat, cold,
electricity, occupational pursuits,
exercises, muscular manipulations
and various mechanical devices in
the diagnosis and treatment of dis
eases.
II am convinced that returning
men and women now in the armed

physical medicine, and I feel that
this program will help restore dis
charged soldiers to normal physical
and mental condition." Mr.. Baruch

Senator Norris, from faraway Ne

suaded Congress to make it Law
that no jobs in the IVA could bs
political jobs. What Congress saic
was: mo political test or qualifica-
ton shall be permitted or given con-
sideration, but all such appoint
ments and promotions shall be given
and made on a basis of merit and
efficiency" To make it stick, Con-
gress provided that anybody violat-
ing this provision should be fired.
iva Complete Success.
Everybody everywhere-and that
really means everywhere, for all
countries have sent experts here to
study this great project-everybody
agrees that iva is a complete sue
cess; success from the standpoint
OF power production, a success as a
vast community enterprise. And ev-
erybody agrees that part of that
success has been due to the ex-
clusion Of politics from its operation.
Everybody, that is, except Senator
McKellar.
To do him justice, the operation
has not been a success from Nickel
lars standpoint, for McKellar lives,
politically, by patronage, by the be-
stowal Of jobs. iva has made jobs
In the Tennessee Valley, thousands
of them and good jobs. But they
aren't McKellar's jobs. He can't
drop around at election time and
remind the job holders of how they
happen to be eating. And that, as
Mcclellan sees 1t. makes the situa-
ton practically unconstitutional. He
took the matter up with the home
folks and he got the surprise of his
long and nimble political life. That's
when the coon-hunt began. Every
body got into 1t, newspapers, cham

tions, Sunday school classes.

is persistent In his purpose. He has
succeeded in attaching a rider" /"
one of the most dubious forms Of
legislation, to the independent Of
fees appropriation bill, requiring
iva to turn in its receipts to the
Treasury and ask Congress for a
fresh appropriation each year. No
private business would attempt to
operate in that manner. He has at
tached another rider that would
require Senate Confirmation" of all
Government employees receiving
s4,50o a year or more. That's his
bid for patronage. The bill is now
In conference. The House must ac-
cept these riders or force the Senate
to recede. The integrity Of TVA will
be saved only. If the Senate does
recede.

Reinforced Americans

In New Guinea

ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, New Guinea, July IT,
Allied positions have been estab-
lished firmly along the west bank
of the Driniumor River, where two
new Japanese attacks were repulsed
in the week-old flare-up of the
British New Guinea campaign,
headquarters announced today.
The advance Japanese force which
cracked Allied lines to cross the
river has been cut of by reinforced
American units. These junglewise
infantrymen swung around behind
the Japs and plugged American
lines on the river, 81 miles east of
Aitape.
Two enemy assaults were repulsed
Friday night and Saturday morning.
Three enemy divisions have been
identified in the action.
$4,000 Men in Trap.
The now isolated forward Japa-
nese forces forded the wide, shallow
river S miles inland during the ini-
tial heavy attack Wednesday. They
were pushing toward Aitape when
the Americans broke the offensive.
Allied troops now are ready to alb
sorb the shock of the next attack
by elements of the estimated $4,000
men inclosed in gigantic trap, q
headquarters spokesman said. The
japanese began their breakthrough
attempt July II.
The known japanese death toll
was 612, after 344 killed were re-
ported during the American encircle-
ment moves.
American and Australian warships
continually pounded the japanese
from the sea, racing along the coast
line between the Driniumor and
Wewak, about 10 miles eastward.
Aircraft steadily harassed japanese
columns.
