POLITICAL GROUPS
ORGANIZING

Two North Carolnians, C. L.
Shupihg. Jr., of Greensboro, and
T. H. Gulley, of Raleigh are
among the southern Democrats
for Dewey attending the week
end conferences here called by
the veteran dean of the senate,
Senator Ellison D. Cotton ED
Smith, defeated for reelection in
the South Carolina primary BY
Gov. DIN, D. Johnston. -
Smith hopes to form an organi-
cation. affiliating it with the
American Democratic National
committee under former Rep.
John. j., O'Connor, of New York,
sufficiently potent to divide the
solid South and carry some
Dixie states for Republican can
didate Thomas E. Dewey.
Although not operating in North
Carolina and other southern
states, there was also announced
here this week the organization of
national independent commit
tee for Roosevelt and Truman, :"
headed by Leon Henderson, for
mer chief of the office Of price
administration.
Thus, an opportunity is given
for Democrats who don't want to
vote for a fourth term or Re-
publicans who don't like Dewey to
join organizations that will give
them an opportunity to vote and
work for the candidate of their
choice without boiling their party.
The move by some southern an
ti-Roosevelt leaders to endeavor
to throw the election into the
house of representatives next JAM
uary by election Of electors in
some Dixie states who would cast
their votes for some Democrat
other than the president has ap-
parently fizzled out, with only a
court test of the Texas effort re-
naming to be decided.

RICHMOND, Sept. a. @-A
state sponsored, nationwide medi-
cal and hospital care program for
all races and classes was advocat-
ed in prepared address for de-
livery here last night by Gov. J.
M. Broughton Of North Carolina in
an address before the graduating
class Of the Medical College of
Virginia.
Such program is needed, he
said, ito grow a greater America
in the peace that is to come, and
to avoid what many consider the
evil consequences that would re-
suit under a federally sponsored
and controlled socialzed medical
program"
A federal program, he said,
would result in 'fantistic cost to
the taxpayers and unlimited poll
cal manipulation. Failure of the
individual states, cities and CON-
munities to provide a sound, pro-
gressive health program would i'll
vite federally socialized medicine
in some of its worst aspects.
"Those who are opposed to So
ciaized medicine and all its works

ICKES DEFENDS
PARTY'S POLICY

PITTSBURGH, Sept. "a Up -
The Democratic administration
does not propose to be a party
"to any policy of economic iso
lationism while giving lip service
to political cooperation between
nations" Interior ! Secretary Har
old L. Ickes said today.
In an address prepared for de
livery before an American Slal
congress rally in Schlenly Park
Ickes declared:
IF having helped, heroically, t.
drive out the Nazis, America leaves
their victims to starvation anc
want, she will have failed of he,
duty and will, for generations tt
come, want to hide her head il
shame. We will do no such thing
In contrast, Ickes said Gov
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
the Republican candidate fo1
president, had sneeringly remark
ed in Louisville the other day thai
we want no 'WPA for the rest oil
the world and charged those whom
he called Washington. MASTERS
with trying to- buy the good. will
of the. world : =.
."You Americans Of Slavic
strain,''' Ickes continued, 'have a
right to know just what the. Re
publican candidate means by his
slurring reference to helping the
devastated countries of Europe te
get back on their feet.
Does he mean that America
should not, help war-devastated and
hungry Poland? Does he. condemn,
as an international WPA,, econo.
mic aid to Czechoslovakia?. Does
he oppose such Washington waste
as succor to Yugoslavia? ....>..
Before launching his verbal on.
slaught against Dewey: Ickes had
delivered message to the .Slav
congress from President Roosevelt,
in which he said: s.
1.-The day Of liberation. of the
peoples of Slavst blood in, Europe
draws near, and with it. the time
for administration of retributive
Justice on their Nazi enslavers. y
The president also expressed the
hope that the assemblage would
be Impressed with the deepened
sense of the duties and responsible
'li+iesr which We must all assume
If inst and enduring peace is
to be made"
Centering later on Dewey''s cri.
ticism of Sidney Hillman, head Of
the CLIO Political Action Commit
tee, Ickes said that the New York
governor was willing to accept a
S., 900 contribution from Hillman's
union when he was running for
district attorney.
But now that Hillman is sug.
costing that CLIO members donate
dollar each to help re-elect Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Ickes said, Dewey
regards Hillman as ga danger to
his country"
Asserting that Dewey eff he
means what he says in his speech
es, is now one of the most ardent
new dealers of them ALL" Ickes
went on: 49,. s.s-,
"Four years ago I observed that
Mr.. Dewey had thrown his diaper
into the ring. At Los Angeles on
Friday night he threw the sponge
after his diaper" 1ckes said,' for
having upbraided 'the new deal
for not being new dealish enough. .

FLAGS FOR FALLEN HEROES

Senator Josiah w. Bailey has
been advised by Quartermaster
General Edmund B. Gregory that
for each member of the armed
forces who has died in the serv-
ice, the government provides an
American flag, five-and-one-half
feet long.
Gen. Gregory advised Senator
Bailey that if the hero died in
this country and his body is re-.
turned home for burial, it is pre-
sumed that the flag that accom-
panied the body will be retained
by the family.
The quartermaster advised Bal
ley Of the program because he
feels "that you will wish to write
personal letter to each family
in your state who has experienced
this sad loss and tell them that
this flag Z. is available to
them"
Applications for such flags are
