 The Governors proposal to es- tablish a medical school at Con- necticut State University has re- ceiVed the endorsement of the State Medical Society. The comment just released to the press points out the growth of the university in the fields of law. engineering, phar- macy and nursing. From the stand- point of the university. the addi- ton of a medical school is the next logical step.
 It is also a logical step from the standpoint of the state. There are a number of hospitals in the Storrs- Hartford area - both state hospitals and community hospitals which would provide an abund- ance of clinical material and which

 So far. the Governors suggestion. has brought forth many favorable comments. It should receive further discussions. intelligent discussions, of course. for this has to be a sound venture if it is to be worth while. Tn the last analysis, it is up to the people of the state to decide whether they wish to have a state medical school. If they do, the present is a good time to make the plans, and the postwar period would be . good time to set the school going.

Selected Poem
GIFT OF SMOKE
(Allen E. Woodall in The Christian
 Science Monitor)

Science Monitor I bring you gift of smoke. Do not despise it. For at the beginning and at the end of every year They take the leaves once green and full of won-
 der And great sweet winds of summer. Now brown leaves thin and ready for the earth, These they take to blossom anew In the strange red leaf and long gray flower of
 smoke That goes back up through the branches of the
 trees And will not stop there in its ancient home. These verses, too, are smoke We know there will be other summers full of leaves, Green breathing oceans of them overhead But this is the beautiful smoke of old remembrance Pungent with what has been For you and me.

Ok lhpOE leHuerS, 6 school teacher and minister, There you have a dozen so assorted that they should be able to answer any, thing, including the $l28 question.
 Who will the next president bep Even in historically Republican , Kansas the majority were honest enough to say that 1t all depended on the progress of the war. With Germany still unlicked 1t would be Roosevelt again. With the invasion established, there was a chance to beat him. They were all glad to be | rid of Willkie, though he carried Kansas in l940. Bricker, in a recent personal appearances in Wichita, drew scant 200 people, but it was Q rainy night. Dewey was acceptable, though they didn't know much about him. The idea that women didn't like him because he was too dapper-looking and not enough of he-man didn't bother them.
 EXPECT REPUBLICAN
 CONGRESS
 There was no doubt--except from the labor officialS-that the next Congress would be Republican in both houses. The Kansas delegation is that way already. Labor officials cautioned against selling the Demo- crats short. for the state has been greatly industralized during the war and labor organizers have been busy. The c. I. O. has imposed 6 $5 fine on any member who doesn't register. They're not worried about how their members will vote, if they can Just get them registered.
 There was general acceptance of the war restrictions and the needs for the rationing programs were understood. Even farmers were said to appreciate the shortages of metal and the resulting lack of new farm machinery manufacture.
 Annoyance at the multiplicity of federal government agencies was, however, general. Everyone volun- teered the thought that Washington must be terrible place to live in, with all those bureaucratS.
 There is no discernible tiredness with the war. Some of the people working in war plants have changed jobs to get. into something perman- ent, but Chamber of Commerce survey showed 91 per cent of the 1 people would stick at their johs till 1t was over.
 THERE'S LITTLE
 ISOLATIONISM
 There was little feeling that when 1 the war is over the United tSates would go isolationist. That was one of the things supposed to have lick ed Willkie in Wisconsin. It is sig nificant that Wichita does not feel that way for Wichita is the home of two of the super-isolationists to be indicated and brought to trial on charges of sedition in Washington the late Elmer J. Garner and the Rev. Gerald Winrod.
 For all Wichita is concerned, they were prophets without honor in their own community. Garner was regarded as an old crank, soured on the world. Winrod is regarded as an opportunist whose views were shaped by the profit he might derive from them. Kansas never paid any attention to Winrod and voted its approval when defeating his can didacy for the Senate six years ago. They still have no use for him or his ideas in Wichita, and that's en- couraging.
