Warren Proved Enigma
Of Chicago Convention

Republican National Convention
t. everyone but himself.
The strapping six-footer could
have been the vice presidential
nominee, everyone comedies, but
he turned it down and John W.
Bricker, governor of Ohio, ac-
cepted il instead.
Why?
The answer goes back two
months, as related today by one
of his friends of long standing
The SO year old Warren sat
across the desk in his California
office and revealed his plans for
the convention. He said he would
not in any circumstances accept
any place on the ticket
and al that time, there was ire
mendous pressure to put him on
it,
He would not take himself
out Of the picture unequivocal-
ly. however - he would be sub
ject TO a draft
Here is the way he reasoned
it: There were forces for Dewey
Of New York. There were others
for Bricker of Ohio. There was
stretch and strain otherwise in
the party.
Warren enviSaged himself at
the time as the man who could
weld all factions but Only if he
kept his bargaining position.
II don't want to be vice pres
ident," he told this friend. "but
| think | can boot in the man
who will be. y
The day before the nominal
ing session he said, like Sher-
man long ago. he would not &C
cept if offered Then the machin-
cry functioncd which welded
Dewey and Bricker into ticket
Warren sat back In fact. he
fell back into bed in a
Chicago hotel for a long
rest
Now all Warren has to do is
serve out his two years as gov
ernor. But he has a tough chore
complete his original plan -
ahead He was elected as a Non
Partisan, thought registered
Republican. He'll have to appeal
to that same segment that elect
ed him on a Non Partisan basis
to vote for Dewey on Partisan
basis.

tuberculosis Hospital
Is Planned by Virginia

The Virginia State Board of
Health has advised the construction
of q tuberculosis sanatorium for
Northern Virginia to be financed by
Arlington and Fairfax Counties and
the city Of Alexandria.
In its recommendation, the board
pointed out that the State program
for increased sanatoria facilities
would be too little to provide ade-
quate care for some time. It was
said that Virginia does not intend
to carry out plans for increased
sanatoria facilities until after
the war. ~ -
DR.. John A.. Sims, president of the
Alexandria Tuberculosis Association,
In revealing the boards attitude,
said the postwar plans are 50 in
adequate that q ratio of one bed
per tuberculosis death in the State
Is all that will be provided.
DR.. Sims said that Virginia Is
"forty-first on the list Of States in
death rate from tuberculosis and
likely will remain there despite the
efforts Of doctors who work with
cases and know the need for hos
pitalization."
