propriated each year for five miies

SUPERB RECORD

The job of the U. S. Army Medical Department isn't over yet It's task will continue great until demobilization is complete. But come what may the Medical Corps already can boast an amazing record of accomplishment in World War II.
 Considering the diverse and sometimes terrible terrains which the fighting waged the rate of mortality from wounds and disease could have been high without seeming out of keeping with crcum- stances. Yet--and think the fact is amazing the disease death for the last three years in the U s. Army has been man out of each thousand as compared with l9 in the last war, 26 in the ish-American War and 65 in the Civil War.
 Deaths of soldiers following disqualification were two and half times fewer in this than in World War I. Seventy out of every 100 men wounded over seas were returned to duty. Deaths from pneumonia which occurred in 24 per cent of the in the last war were reduced to seven-tenths of one per cent Plague and cholera wholesale lifetakers in previous wars entirely absent Typhoid and yellow fever were held to negligible proportions.
 Although the number of troops stationed in the primitive Southwest Pacific islands relatively small the Medical Corps could not have boasted so excellent record of triumph over disease without

ROOSEVELT COLLEGE

Behind Mrs. hoosevelt's dedica- tion of Roosevelt College in Chicago yesterday was unique story. Formerly, Chicago's YMCA College, a loW-cost institution in the Loop. 1t was supervised by leading Chi cago banks. Suddenly they awoke to the fact that 9 per cent of the student body was Negro, asked President James Sprawling to put quota on further Negro students. He refused, then handed in his resignation. Simultaneously, 92 per cent of the faculty resigned plus e7 per cent of the students. The bankers found themselves without a college. Marshall Field, the Julius Rosenwald tuun- dation, plus Chicago citizens then raised half million to found a new low-cost college in the Loop. The old YMCA College is no more and Roosevelt College began yester- cay. It's the first time that both students and faculty walked cut simultaneously.

taking heroic against the nnumerabe health hazards of this region.
 Fortunately the Medical Corps had powerful instruments with which to protect the health of the in World War II. Had 1t not been for the sulia drugs and penicillin and pasma, fatalities from wounds and disease would have been much greater in every theatre Without DOT and the malaria lighting drug atabrine and the advanced medical techniques used against levers and fungus disorders our forces In the Southwest Pacific would have been decimated by disease The record is almost unbelievable consider ing that men fought in the worlds worst malaria ridden jungles and the enemy held the natural supply sources for qunne, the classical specific remedy for malaria.
 Yes, the Medical Corps did amazingly good job, thanks both to it's work and the help given it by the medical research workers at home But for so good a job a lot of the men now counting the weeks until they return home would be coming home at all.

are meaningless, would only mean that labor paid more for every thing.
 President Truman and advisers have maintained that, while this might bring temporary benefits for organized union labor, it would hurt teachers, white-collar workers and, later, organized labor. Truman also maintains that industry has made enough profits from the war to afford wage increases and still make money, especially with taxes greatly reduced
 The fact that John L. Lewis op- posed this indicated to insiders a three-way play: (D He wants to undercut CLOS Phil Murray, who favors the governments position of wage increases without price in- creases; @ He is bidding to take AFL leadership away from Bill Green; (5) He isn't averse to wrecking the entire Labor-M Man agement Conference.
 John L. also has been handing out statements needing the steel and auto workers, telling them that they are asking for bidding wage increases. The Lewis state mentS are calculated to stiffen auto and steel workers backs, make them dissatisfied with CIO leader ship Also. they are likely to help precipitate a strike, and Lewis knows from his own sad experience in the recent coal strike that strikes right now can be more unpopular with the public

American Foreign Policy
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 President Trumans restatement of Americas for in New York, should go far to establish a common sentiment among people in respect to the main obiectives of the United States world affairs After war fought first of all for survival and secondly for the establishment of peaceful and democratic world order it natural that there should be doubts about the basic goals of foreign policy. There danger of dsunity, especially in the period of disillusionment which follows every great One speech dispe all those doubts and dangers But the Presidents and courage, applied to the major problems of the postwar period, supply needed leadership in difficul time.
 The President committed himself, and the nation as we'll to nonaggresson, to the nonrecognition of eral concept of self-determnaton of peoples He blunt in asserting the right of freedom of to the trade and materials of the world, for all peoples He pledged the United States and its to the continuing effort to build stable peace upon the foundations of collective security system, through the United Nations Organization
 In all of this MT. Truman should have and dcubtedly will have wenigh universal approval His reaffirmaton of the need for universal military train ing spite of the availability of atomic weapons may not get such complete endorsement But it likewlse has the ring of Until we know far better than do just what atomic power implies for the traditional weapons of land, and air war fare we must maintain ourselves in readiness for instant and adequate self-defense.
 Nor is this in any way inconsistent with the peace ful aims he outlined For ase President strongly emphasized, the strength of the United States is 1T! itself a guarantee of the peace of the world It is not the only guarantee the other nations will want. It is not the ideal arber of the peace. But in the absence of proved agency of collective security the armed might of this country is the primary bulwark of the peace which has been so recently and so pain fully

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IT

Adverse planetary aspects domin- ate today which is not promising for transactions with labor. Again the seers prophecy that employers and employees will finally become partners.
 HEART AND HOME
 This is not a favorable shopping day. Difficulty in selection of need- ed articles may prevail. The stars which presage early interest in gift hunting for Christmas seem to in- rate that the practical should be chosen.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Trade next month will be large in volume Many will not feel the urge to economy for some time. The un- employment problem will not hamper Santa Claus, for he forsees pros- perity in 1946.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Education as an asset will be more generally appreciated after the holi- days when veterans will have test ed new jobs and demonstrated the need of mental as well as manual training.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Under Aquarian influences thrones are in the discard and there are signs which seem to indicate that even Britain may abolish royalty and its age-old perogatives. How ever, a second Queen Elizabeth will be crowned, 1t is prophesied.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good for tune which will be gained through hard work.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be vigorous in mind and sing ularly gifted. They should be taught early that they must not crave ease and luxury.

LITTLE BUSINESS BREAK

Hard-working Attorney General Tom Clark has written a confi- dential memo to the White House advising that the Smaller War Plants Corporation cannot be gobbled up by the Commerce De- partment and Jesse Jones old REC without an Act of Congress. This is break for little busi- ness. The Smaller War Plants Corporation has been doing a real job for the smaller businessman, also had won prestige on Capitol Hill. . John Snyder, the small town banker, now War Reconverter, wanted to transfer it by executive order without Congressional okay. In fact, the executive order was drawn up when this col umnist broke the story, following which the problem was referred to the Attorney General. Assistant Secretary of Labor Carl Moran is another of the Al public servants deserting the administration. He is going back to Maine, from whence he came, despite White House en- treaties that he stay. John Gibson of Detroit, a CIO man, will take his place. This will balance the two Assistant Secretaries of Labor between the CIO and AFL.
