QUESTION: The issue involved
is legal rather than popular IN It's
interest. One James Patterson, cit
izen Of Georgia, charged with nom

pretended in Ohio. He waived X
tradition and Sheriff Mason went to
Ohio to get him. He was convicted
on granddaughter in Cherokee coun-

ruled the cost of his return to North
Carolina should be borne by the
state instead Of he county. CINE
rule is that misdemeanorants are
tradited at county expense, felons at
state ~eXpense.) But in this case
there was no formal eXtradltlon,
since that Formally was waived.
However, the attorney general holds
that the state can be assessed cost
only when the state acts through re-
gular channels. In this case the state
knew nothing about it until the man

COP Advocates Expended Social Security Program, Minus Reqimentotion
Bx the Republlcan National Committee

By the Republican National C0nannlttee
 GOVERNOR DEWEY has pointed out that the present Social Security Act ignores the desperate needs of at least 100000 citizens, many of whom are least able to stand alone.
 Unemployment insurance should be extended in- ediately to include these farmers farm workers, do nestle workers the employees of non-profit enterprise es, government employees and the men and women who have worked only for. themselves and who are not protected by the present law.
 Social security to fill the American pattern, must be wide enough to include individuals from all groups of citizens It should not be casslegsaton, restricted to certian favored groups of workers.
 The employment service should be speedily es- tabshed in the same local offices with unemployment insurance administrations Jobs for unemployed can best be provided where the unemployed reside. and unemployment insurance payments certainly have to be paid out through local offices It is comon-sense efficiency to combine the task under the same ad- ninistrator, working with the same staff and the same files.
 MEDICAL service to citizens who need 1t, and cannot otherwise obtain it. must be developed as an essential part of social security but through the operation of the medical profession The folly of New Deal policy is nowhere more plainly manifest than in the antaRoniS 1t has deliberately aroused amongst doctors by threats to socialze medicine It is fact
  geons the only persons qualified to and care for the sick. How well free and independent med ical profession has developed itself for this task Is demonstrated by medical record in this war That is higher percentage of recovery than was dreamed possible four years ago. Over 90 per cent of wounded who need medical care are restord to useful life No other nation can show an even comparable figure. And 1t must be remembered that the majority of doctors and nurses now in uniform came from private civilian practice.
 Under the leadership and with the aid of these professionals we can organize fully effective system to protect the health of all our citizens
 Social security must be recognized not mercy as matter of bread and butter even of 1am It must include freedom and opportunity as well The G1s who are coming back have had their i'll or regimen tation They accepted 1t only to preserve tner 1ree dom and to protect their opportunities Tor the 1u ture

COP Reversal on Social Security Only Campaign Tactics, Democrats Say
the Democratic National Committee

By the Democratic National Committee
 AMERICANS in general, and the Democratic Par Sy in particular should be happy that Candidate Dewey-again shouting Me too'-has endorsed the idea of social security and virtually presented 1t as the hrain-child of the COP CThe Grand Old Parrot as it's come to be known).
 This is an encouraging change from the campaign eight years ago when the Republicans tried-as they doubtless will again this year-to raise desperate last-minute scare to panic the country into their column.
 Social security they screamed, meant regimen tation" for the worker the loss of all his hard-won freedom The system to quote the Republican plat form, was unavoidable"
 "A fraud on the working man a cruel hoax" cried another ambitious and misguided Republican governor Ali Landon, he went down the slide to oblivion.
 MILLIONS of Americans, now protected by social security will forget how in the closing days Of that campaign their pay-envelopeS were stuffed with dire warnings that social security would take more and more of their earnings until little was lett and they could never expect anything but 'dog tag" in return-because to quote the Republican platform again-"the taxes collected in the guise of premiums will be wasted by the government in reckless and ex- travagant political schemes
 But now the COP is reformed, we're told, and peddlng new line.
 Social security it appears, is all right-and pre- sumably always Candidate Dewey even advocates its extension taking another leaf from President Roosevelts book-without acknowledgement, as usual
 As early 1888 the President began urging easier eligibility requirements, larger payments and exten-
  not yet covered by the system including farm and household workers the staffs of tax-exempt insttu- tions and all "bureaucrats local, state, and national government offices.
 Candidate Dewey is willing to give badly-abused EbaureaucratS"- clerks and typlsts-tnS much of break. But this he should get together with his party. for the Republicans just last month killed bill to bring Federal employees under the Sys- tenn.
 BUT here's the pay-off At Seattle, talking of un- employment insurance and social security benefits, Candidate Dewey said, We must have these things within the framework of free collective bargaining
 This means-if it means anything-that social security will cease to be matter Of public law and became matter of private bargaining. It means If 1t means anything-that every shop not matter now few its workers would have to set up its own unem ployment and old age insurance scheme It means if 1t means anythng-that all of the unorgan1zed would have no social security at all
 Or it may only mean that Deweys oran- oounu ~research staff has let him down again and that III advocating his strange reform" he had no idea Of how social security works and simply didn't know what he was talking about
 If so it would fit the general pattern of his cam- paign.

and the military and naval chif-' taiI1S.
 The peace conference will bring together the greatest men in the world, prepared to reach conclu- sions that will affect the fate of humanity for generations to come.

 Will it be the slick little prose- cutor from New York? Tom Dewey may know something about police court law. He may be able to prosecute stumble buns for vagrancy.
 But he won't be appearing be- fore a night court magistrate when sits down with Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin. He'll be dealing with two of the strong est characters of llistory-men who are probably better informed on United States affairs than Dewey.
 Dewey will be lucky if hc doesn't come home without his shirt and his mustache. And the United States will be lucky if, through some blunder of inex- perience or ignorance, Russia and England have not written the peace treaty and organized 8 combination to control the world.
 The people of this country will be lucky if they have escaped aI1- other war with its grewsome toll of blood and suffering.

They won't be needing any poe lice court lawyers at the peace table of the United Nations. Every nation in the world will be rep resented by it's wisest, its most experienced and its most able men.
 They will all be backed up by the biggest piles of blue chips in history. Every nation will be playing for keeps. Some nations will want territory at the expense of other nations. All will want something.
 The seeds of 8 third world war will be sown at that conference unless it is dominated by bold and courageous men whose eyes are on the future of the world rather than on some temporary gain for themselves at the price of world security.
 Josef Stalin of Russia and Win- ston Churchill of England will be the dominant figures of their I1a- tionS. Russia will not be rep resented by the local prosecutor in Moscow. Britain will not be represented by some young, am- bilious barrister with more en- thusiasr1 than experience.
 The lawyers present will be brilliant constitutional lawyers, familiar with the laws of all na- tions and able to discuss any le- gal problem which may arise.

Supply Lock, Mud Hinder
 Ally Advance

New York, November ]. - lOFl Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, said in a radio interview last night that the resumption or a ground gaining offensive on the western front depended on sono under-footing for Allied Forces, and the opening of major port for sup plies.
 Raillie was interviewed by Rich- ard Hardness, NEG Washington re- porter, who asked the UP executive for his prediction on the end of the war in Europe based on his tour or the battle fronts and conversations filth top Allied military leaders.
 Baillie replied that the Allies might be begged down in mud all along the front as long as present weather continues and until sufti- cient supplies could be brought up to start another drive.
 "A few weeks of hard or frozen ground and clear skies would prob ably make big difference" BailIe said.
 The UP president said the port or Antwerp, captured by the Allies, but blocked off by German pocket along the Schelde river, was ob- viously the one wanted by military leaders.
 Reason For Fighting
 '"That is the reason for all the fighting now going on to push the Germans out of the estuary SO that our ships can move in and out. Ant werp IS a big port and Is close 10 the front" he said.
 Baillie said only guess could be offered as an answer to Hark- ness question as to where the next offensive thrust would be. He pointed out, however. that offensives usually follow the line of heavy bombings and that Cologne and the cities. between 1t and the American lines were taking a pounding from the Allied Air Force.
 German resistance is now that of desperate, cornered gangster, Baillie said. Many German soldiers ave willing to quit now, but have Ntt1e opportunity since their front has been reinforced by SS troops and officers.
 Show Occasionally
 '"The German tanks do show up occasionally-usually at places where they feel there is an immediate threat to their front" Baillie said. s"Their planes appear very infre- cuently and usually only on straf- ing expeditions. They have little or no aerial reconnaissance. They do come over sometimes at nights and drop pamphlets. I couldn't get any answer to the question of what has become Of the Luftwaffe when I was over there. They may be holding it in reserve. But let's not take for granted that they haven't any more air power. What they have-and what is quite noticeable --is increasing strength in flax guns, since the war from their standpoint has gone from the otfen- sive to the defensive"
 'Baillie, who was present at the final capture of Aachen, said the general reaction of the homeless civilians toward their conquerers was surly. Baillie said some small children shook their 0st9 At him and old men waved their canes. However, there was no indication that civilians, were following any order hy Adolf Hitler calling for

and Chiang Kai-saek and the other skiIlful diplomats of Europe and Asia win be kind to our boy Tom and not take advantage of his innocence?
 we believe the price IS too high for that kind of risk. We don't want to bet the lives of our sons and grandsons on Dewey's skill and sagacity against Churchill and Stalin.
 Not in view of Dewey's waver- ing record on world affairs. He changes his mind too often and we are never sure at the moment whether Dewey is 8 tentative inH ternationalist or a modified lsola- tioniSt.
 We know he is supported by the same rabid isolationists who killed the League of Nations and pre- vented international cooperation to avert this war.
 It would take a man of unyleld- ing courage-like Wendell Will kie-to resist the pressure of the Chicago Tribune. Dewey has never shown that courage. He has never shown that he under stands the fundamental issues of this campaign.
 This isn't 9 campaign to reduce the taxes of some corporation. It is a campaign to reduce the con- stant threat of world war.
 Roosevelt has matched wits ana ability with both Churchill and Stalin. He has dominated the trend of the war. He will don1i1- ate the peace conference if we give him the authority on Nov ember 2.
 Think of that when you go to the polls.
 There are still plenty of petty racketeers in New York for Dey- ey to worry about. And there are plenty of problems of world peace for Roosevelt to worry about. We should keep each man at the work for which he is best fitted.
