DETROIT has just concluded an
~ other of its annual fund raising
campaigns-the drive for money to
fight dread polio.
This manning disease has left in
It's wake a legion of young persons
wearing braces and moving on
crutches, an army of boys and girls
many of whom would remain helpless
without the aid of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
This year, for the fifth consecu-
tive time, radio station WXYZ and
this newspaper have co-operated in
the Mile o Dimes drive, as our share
in this war against human suffering.
The outstanding success of the
1945 campaign is tribute to the
thousands of public spirited Detroit
ers who contributed their dimes and
dollars toward the eradication of this
pathological enemy.
DURING the past summer, Detroit
~ and Wayne County were hard
hit by infantile paralysis. Before
the summer ended, the toll rose to
epidemic proportions. Only 81 cases
were reported in Wayne County in
1913, while in 1914, 479 cases were
reported in Wayne County and 878
throughout the state.
AS a result Of the work of the
Wayne County chapter of the Ma.
tional Foundation, cooperating
closely with our hospitals and doc.
tors, the deaths in Detroit were only
l9, or less than per cent. Other

enough about the laws of the country
and the functions of the courts and
the authority of Congress and the
will of the people when these things
support his own viewpoint, but en-
tirely willing to act contrary to these
things when they oppose his view
point.
The effect of the Montgomery
Ward decision in Chicago is to inn
pose the authority, dignity and
majesty of American law OVER the
willful, arrogant and dictatorial acts
of President Roosevelt - at least
temporarily.
It is to be desired that he will
accept this decision with grace.
1t is to be hoped, if he does not,
that the highest court in the land
will act with the same concern for
basic American law and the same
moral courage and patriotic sense of
duty that the Chicago court acted.

THE federal court decision re
l. turned in Chicago by District
Judge Philip L. Sullivan that Presi-
dent Roosevelt lacked authority in
law for the Montgomery Ward seiz-
ure is concurred in by all Americans
having any knowledge of existing
law or any concern or respect FOR
existing law.
President Roosevelt had ordered
military occupation of the Mont
gomery Ward properties, not because
any any law of his country empowered
him to do so in the conditions that
prevailed, but because HE thought
it should be done.
That is not government by law,
as our country can only be legally
governed; but government by whim,
which is in basic conflict with the
fundamental American system of
government and in open violation of
its underlying principles.
Of COURSE American courts
" should not sustain such pro-
cedure, and the federal district court
in Chicago very properly condemned
and nullified the procedure within
the limits of it's power to do so.
Whether this will be the final de
termination of the matter remains in
doubt, because appeal is an essential
and proper part of the judicial
process, and final decision on appeal
rests with Mr.. Roosevelt's U. S.
Supreme Court.
In the course of three terms as
President, n. Roosevelt has ap-
pointed an overwhelming majority
of the members of the Supreme
Court and has been at pains to ap-
point men of sympathetic and &C
quiescent mind about his concept of
government-which should be a new
revelation to the American people of
the dangers inherent in three terms,
not to speak of aeeruing dangers in
four or more terms.
AS far as the President himself is
concerned, there can be no reason
able expectation that he will be influ-
enced or persuaded against further
exercise of power without legal
authority by any court opinion short
of that which even he could not
evade or fout.
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has

his acts, and has often been quite
frank about it.
He once removed a federal officer
from his post without the right to do
so, and was subsequently rebuked
by the Supreme Court for the act
but unfortunately the officer so re-
moved had died in the interval be-
tween the illegal act and it's reversal.
He once counseled Congress to
pass law, urging the members of
Congress to have total disregard for
whatever doubts they might have IN
their minds about the constitution
ality of the proposed law.
He once proposed to Congress
that, since the Supreme Court as
then constituted did not include a
majority which he had appointed
and upon which he could depend for
sympathetic and acquiescent minds,
its membership be increased suffi-
GENTLY to enable him to appoint a
sympathetic and acquiescent ma
jority.
He once frankly acknowledged
to Congress that the unusual and
excessive powers which he exercised
by virtue of congressional consent or
without such consent would be
DANGEROUS in any other hands
but his own. n.-----.--

III tee iabbering the standard iargon Of the
welfare state was q pathetic spectacle.
In the language of the nderWorld-Whlch is
here approprate-he was being made to take the
rap in a complex struggle for power in which
nothing is called by its right name, and IN which
the real issue that holds every phase of the life OF
every citizen may be lost.
The issue was not raised in the last preS-
Dental campaign for Gov. Dewey, in the naive
arrogance Of an almost perfect economic 1gno-
rance marched vaiantly into the trap that was set
for him and never found out that he was IN trap.
THE President, as a sequel to clearing every
Il thing with Sidney, is now proceeding TO clear
out Sidney while pretending to do exactly the
opposite,
At the same time he is trying to take into his
own hands set of vast powers which can be used
to build personal state when the emergency or
war is succeeded by the emergency of peace.
The fight is apparently between the President,
Wallace and Hillman on the one side and Jesse
Jones and the Congress on the other, as to who
shall as secretary of commerce, WELD the trenlen-
deus powers of the Reconstruction Finance Cerpo-
ration. That is not right at all.
The President is Just as anxious to be rid OF
Wallace and Hillman as he is to be rid Of Jones,
and he is so confident of his 1ong-range power that
he is stalking what will be called defeat in actu-
ally bidding for the rejection of Wallace.
Such defeat wouldkeep fiiltman subSewient,
while at the same time put the President in posi-
tion Of being able, when the postwar chaos comes,
to blame Congress for having prevented him from
putting into effect the hazy postwar program that
he Sketched during the campaign. That would give
the favorite Roosevelt emergency Setup.

Henry Wallace is known to
all senator's. He has been around
here for dozen years. His
record is of a man without busl-
ness ability an economic boy
scout whose idea of a daily good
decd IS that of a visionary and
fanatie.
The unfitneSS Of Wallace for
the department of the govern
ment dealing with business is
plain.
Mr.. WALLACE'S testimony
vi before the Senate COM
merce committee leaves no
room for doubt as TO what he
would do if given control of the
vast financial and economic
powers reported in the hands of
Jones.
The policies ne outlined would
clearly open the door TO state
socialism and economic tOtali-
tarianism.
Only the utmost will on the
part Of thS American people TO
preserve the social, economic
and political system bequeathed
them by the founders of this

The rejection Of a man hold
ing the economic and social
views of Wallace is demanded
AS a matter Of hard, common,
Yankee sense.

THERE is no intention in the White House Of
l. letting the Political Action Committee into the
happy hunting ground of the RFC, and thereby
letting Hilman bag patronage with which to
build political machine which would rival the one
that Harry Hopkins has built and which might
easily hold the balance of power in number of
key states.
1t is perfectly well known to the President and
also to Hillman that the Political Action Commit
tees claims to have won the election phony and
that, except in New York and in very few com
gressional districts, it was not a factor of any
moment and may have been liability.
The President was elected both in 1910 and in
1914 by Harry Hopkins skilled use of patronage
in the states where it was most needed-whch
accounts for the wide discrepancy between the
Presidents popular majority and his electoral
college majority.
There is no more disposition to let Hilman
in on this game than there was to let John Lewis
in after his similar help in the 1886 election.
HENRY WALLACE, because of the sincerity Of
III his gullibility and his complete ineptness once
he has been persuaded to a cause, long ago became
Roosevelt liability.
He was easily ditched at the convention
But the very qualities that make a Roosevelt
liability make him temporary Hillman asset, for
Henry is now under the spell of the dream state
and thinks of himself as its shining apostle.
Hillman is as ready to junk Wallace as was
Roosevelt. That is why his case is so pathetic.
The real issue before the American people is
not whether Roosevelt or Hillman will prevail in
kind of Stalin-Trotsky row.
In the deceit and sham Of the Washington
scene it is quite in order that the confirmation of
Wallace would be victory for Hillman and
defeat for Roosevelt. This is of no consequence.
1t is not circumstance to what is going on in the
national scene
The real issue is the George bill separating
the RFC from the department of commerce and
recovering its control by the people through
Congress-
THE Reconstruction Finance Corporation has
grown from simple emergency lending agency
to be government within government.
1t was established by President Hoover on the
plea Of Eugene Meyer to take over frozen bank
assets and let depositors get their money. Mr..
Meyer had done just that through the powers Of
the old War Finance Corporation during the
Coolidge days.
The RFC bailed out or helped the depositors
in nearly ten thousand banks and lost less than
l per cent Of the more than two and a quarter
billion dollars of public funds it thus used.

them boast any musical talents or
training. Yet, the first day of their
visit to Stove, they will find them
selves singing a Mozart "Alleluja. -
Ten days later, they will tackle one
of the great chorales of Johann
Sebastian Bach, and before return
ing to their homes, they will have
performed more than so vocal
classics ranging from Palestrina and
Orlando di Lasso down the centuries
to Brahms, Roger and Bruckner.
Some will have mastered the playing
of the ancient end-blown block-fute

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (ANP)
1t is the desire of the top offici-

and an appreciation for the fact
that the problem is not alone a

whether a democracy can survive
