Candidates In 1913

The national election in 1948 is be-
ginning to absorb much public interest.
To be sure politics is never adjourned.
It SINNERS, though, for a while after
the balloting, and does not begin to
boil until approximately two years be-
fore the next campaign. In the two
wears ahead party leaders will be scout
ing the country, sounding out neigh
borhood and regional opinion with the
intention of choosing a candidate. AS
vet little surface evidence of this work
is seen although the proposition of Sc
lecting standard bearers is prominent
w in the minds Of the aforesaid lead
ers.
At the same time the Gallup poll
is surveying the political situation by
mail and issuing the results in interest
ING reports. Yesterday it reported on
the standing of democratic possibilities
for the presidential nomination. It
shows that President Truman is favor
ed for denomination three to one over
his closest competitor, Henry Wallace,
the percentage being 81 to Is.
Considering that Mr.. Truman has
been severely criticized in recent
months and has "lost face" on some
of his favored legislation, this is sur
prising. Obviously the people represent
ed in the poll give him credit for sin
certify and figure that if he goes back
to the White House he will have learned
more about the presidency and how
to operate the executive branch than
he has learned in the few months of
his present incumbency.
On the republican side, the Gallup
poll last week showed a closer division
of sentiment, with Governor Dewey
outstripping former Governor Stassen
80 to 81 per cent, with former Governor
Bricker trailing in third place with s
per cent. Of the leaders it may be
said that Mr.. Stassen should outweigh
Mr.. Dewey, not only because of his
better platform presence, but because
he is not a defeated candidate, as is
Mr.. Dewey. Few men can win prefer
ment following a defeat. Cleveland is
notable exception, but exceptions are
few and far between.
Our guess is that when the inner
guard gets together to name the repub-
lican candidate, Stassen will lead
Dewey.
In recognition of the transformers
Of human affairs it must be acknowl-
edged, however, that the entire political
picture may change in two years with
an entirely new set of candidates be-
fore the voters when they 60 to the

LETTER BOX
VETERANS VIEWPOINT
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
There is belated answer to Dr..
Graham's reply to our statement
that the university was acting in
very poor faith by charging the
veterans out of state prices. DR..
Graham seemed to miss the point
made in our argument altogether.
He said it was question OF the
state, or the federal government,
assuming the responsibilities OF IL
nancing the returning veterans;
actually it is question Of the
taxpayer having to pay in either
case. And as a taxpayer 1 re-
sent the fact that the bills served
on the veterans are out of proper
ton to what would normally be
charged. The university has, with
the State Supreme Court, merely
legalized a method of pork bar
reling." Understand, I, too, want
the schools of higher learning IN
this state and others to progress
and eventually gain the end thas
all educators desire; but the meth'
DDS used and the sordid practlces
will lend the lie to their success
The spirit behind a motive oftImes
cast an everlasting shadow on me
accomplishment. I wish to rel''
crate that it Is legal, this poAc,y'
but in very poor faith to the
American public. 1t is time tna'
these people begin to be taken 1n'o
account for the wastefulness OF me
taxpayers money. This is not an
attempt to cast reflections on inc
university officials, or the s.a!s
officials, but to gain soma oroeI'
or method, since character IeleL'
ences alone are not enough Oh Id "

DAV CHAPTER WILL
NOTE ANNIVERSARY
Founding OF Large Organi-
cation Will Be Observ-
ed Sept. &c

The Charles P. Murray chapter,
Disabled America Veterans, will
Join with 100, 900 national members
of the organization in d celebra-
ton of the silver anniversary of
the founding of the DAV, Sept. 2-6,
it was announced yesterday.
The Wilmington chapter is one
of 1900 in the country, each of
which is working IN problems af-
fecting 1900, 900 wartime handi-
capped men.
National service officers of the
DAV are stationed in the majority
of the Veterans Administration
Regional offices and centers. They
are there to represent and serve
the disabled veteran. A training
program has been under way for
more than two years in cooperation
with the Veterans Administration
and American university to place
more service officers in the field.
An outstanding factor, the need
that motivated the formation OF
the DAV, is service to disabled
veterans by disabled veterans vino
fully understand the problems OF
those who have experienced the
same suffering and hardships of
Var service.
When approximately four million
men returned to civilian life after
World War I, there were about 300,-
900 who returned wounded, dis
abled, handicapped, or i'll. The gov
eminent was not prepared to cope
with the problem or disabled vet
Grams, it was said.
It was decided, however, that
the government would institute
vocational training courses for dis
abled veterans and attempt to give
each man a trade or profession to
compensate for his handicap.
Many disabled veterans enrolled
in these courses. The need for self
help and recognition of their prob
blems was all to apparent. These
were the men who conceived and
brought into being the Disabled
American Veterans.
At the beginning there were
small groups of students in various

parts of the nation banding to-
gether for their common protec-
ton and the welfare of all disabled.
On Christmas Day, 1919, a group
of disabled veterans met in Gin
cinati's Hotel Sinton for Christmas
dinner. A fellow disabled veteran
of World War, Robert S. Marx, one
who had just been elected a Judge,
was responsible for arranging this
dinner.
About 100 men with combat
wounds and disabilities attended
this dinner, and it was after this
meeting a number agreed that men
with common wartime experiences
should band together.

Comptroller
Says No About
Anfield Fund

Comptroller "Jim' Lee is con-
siderably more than firm in
handling the financial affairs Of
Florida's 81 counties, as county
commissioners are all aware. The
comptroller has been character
lied frequently as stubborn" "
and that term is complimentary,
because what he does rebounds to
the interests of the counties.
But local commissioners
thought he would permit them
to transfer an average of $2,015.17
from the airfield fund to the gen
eral revenue fund, because the
former is a closed transaction.
The airfield has been bought
and paid for, and the average is
SO much idle money.
But Comptroller Lee said
No" If the commissioners want
the fund transferred to the gem
eral revenue account, let them
have it done by a special legis-
lative act.

Gently was grounded by the Civil

public interest. He requested
that they pass resolution which
would call upon Florida congress
men and senators in Washington
to make an appeal to the CAA for
restoration of Aerovias Q.'s flight

BASE REMARKS ON
MONTCOMERY'S co.
ING TO CANADA AND
WHAT WAS SAID IN
ARGENTINA
sBy Associated pressD

MOSCOW, Sept. Russian
press and radio declared today
that the Western Allies are pre-
pairing to wage war against the
Soviet Union.
Pravda, a semi-official Rus
sian newspaper, stated that the
reason for Field Marshal Mont
gomery's trip to Canada is TO
make arrangements for the for
tification of the Canadian border
across the Boring Straits from the
Russian border.
''But we know how to fortify,
too" Pravda commented.
Newspapers and radio COM
mentators here said that George
Messerschmitt, the American
ambassador to Argentina, had
made an address to American
Legionnaires in that city in
which he said that war with
Russia was inevitable"
(No report has been received
in the United States about Mes
serschmitt having made any such
remark).
Pravda, in commenting on the
alleged statement, said it won
dered why the American diplo-
matte corps was allowed so fuch
scope" in discussing interna-
tional questions.
The same newspaper remarked
that it was ssure" that Montgon-
ery's trip to Canada was design
ed to make defensive plans" in
that country.
Pravda concluded that the
Western Allies apparently were
convinced that they must go to
war with Russia.
