The Republicans have named
Charles Kristen, former deputy
district attorney of Milwaukee
County, to run against Representa-
tive Biemiller in the 5th district
and they figure that with Repub-
lican swing under way-as they con-
fidently declare-they may have a
chance to carry this district.
The Democrats. for their part, are
none too hopeful about the Senate
race They are trying to find vul-
nerable spots in Judge McCarthy's
armor. however First. they are
making the most they can of the
fact that he has never resigned as
circuit judge and still continues to
hold down that Office.
The State Constitution, contains
a provision that members of the
judiciary shall not run for elective
during the term for which they have
been chosen. Judge Mccarthy and
tCIS NllCiI llC
was a candidate for the senatorial
nomination that the State Consti-
tuition did not prevent his seeking
Federal Office. The Wisconsin
Supreme Court recently handed
down decision that Judge Nc
Carthy was entitled to run for the
Senate-since the Federal Consti-
tuition makes no prohibition in the
matter.
Divorce Cases Attacked.
Despite this opinion of the court,
the Democrats maintain that Judge
Mccarthy is violating the spirit of
the State Constitution. The object
of the trainers of that document,
they say, was to keep the judiciary
out OF partisan politics. And here

Bevin' 5 Russia Policy
Backed BY Churchill;
Palestine Stand Hit
BY the Asseeioted Press

BLACKPOOL, England, Oct. S.
Winston Churchill accused Britain &
Labor government today of vacil-
ladng in Palestine and voluntarily
abdicating in India but declared his
support of Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevtn's policies toward Russia and
the United States,
In an apparent passing reference
to the Wallace controversy in
America, he said United States pol
icy was firm and unchanged"
Contrasting shrinking British
empire with an expanding Russia,
the 7I-year-old Conservative Party
leader said he could not step out of
public life while 'the situation is so
serious"
He charged the AttIee government
had mishandled the Indian problem
SO badly mo one can measure the
misery and bloodshed which will
overtake these enormous masses of
humble, helpless millions, or under
what new power their future and
destiny will He"
With the loss of India,-"and it
may well be that Burma will soon
suffer the same fate"-Mr. Churchill
said "the number of the kings sub
jects Is being reduced to barely a
quarter of what it has been for
generations"
Russia Expanding.
Russia at the same time has
brought extra scores of millions of
people" under the 'despotic control
of the Kremlin" and continues to
expand, he observed.
1T would be easy for me to re-
tire gracefully in an odor of civil
freedom, and this plan crossed my
mind frequently some months ago."
continued the former prime minis
ter.
II feel now, however, that the
situation is so serious, and what
may have to come is so grave, that
am resolved to go forward carry
ing the flag as long as I have the
necessary strength and energy and
have your confidence"
Despite Britain's voluntary alb
dication" in India, Mr.. Churchill
said, I'VE are still ceaselessly abused
by the Soviet wireless and by cer-
tain unfriendly elements in the
United States for being land-grab-
bing imperialist power"
Government Raped.
These criticisms, he added. were
being made while Soviet Russia is
nxNay,lfy,n cnntiyer IN
every direction"
After rapping the governments
Palestine and Indian policies and
taking these pokes at Russia, how
ever, Mr.. Churchill said there was
a considerable measure of agree
-ment upon the main lines of foreign
policy" He added:
This is especially true of our
close association of the United
States, whose firm and unchanged
policy in Europe. and abandonment
of the doctrines of isolation, con-
stitute the main bulwark of the
peace of the world. We should also
like to preserve our wartime friend
ship with the Russian people and
with the Soviet government if they
will allow us to do SO and will stop
what Mr.. Bevin calls the war OF
nerves" u
Although he thus approved two
of the main lines of Mr.. Bevin's
policy, Mr.. Churchill declared the
Labor government was markedly
unequal to holding our place in the
world and by its determination to
ram Socialist dogma down the
throats of the British people" was
weakening British influence abroad.
He was cheered thunderously at
the close of his 70-ninute speech
by the 5000 persons at the closing
session of the party conference.

Arab Executive Meets
To Discuss Truman Proposal

JERUSALEM, Oct. 3 P.-The
Arab executive met tonight to dis
cuss the statement of President
Truman on Palestine but deferred
taking a stand until tomorrow.
The executive announced, how
ever, the amalgamation of two
Palestine Arab Armies. Futuwah
and Nejada, and named three COM
mittee members to arrange tech
nicalities of the merger.
The announcement said the COM
pleted group will be "a nonparty
organization of scouts under super
vision of the Arab higher execu-
tive"
The merger repeatedly was or
dered by Maj. Amin el Husseini,
multi Of Jerusalem who is in exile
in Egypt.
The uppermost question here to-
night stemming from President
Truman's demand for immediate in
creased immigration Of Jews into
Palestine was whether it would
bring trouble or peace.
Both Arabs and Jews in informal
talks expressed these views:
If British Prime Minister Attlee
definitely rejects the Presidents de-
mands, the three underground jew
ish groups-Haganah, Irgun zvai
Leumi and the Stern gang-may go
into renewed action.
If Mr.. Attlee accepts the Truman
suggestion on immigration but not
on creation of an adequate" Jewish
state within Palestine, Irgun Zvai
Leumi and the Stern gang alone
may take the field again in sab
otage campaign.
If the British accept both of Mr.
Truman's views, the Arabs might
stage a spontaneous uprising SINH
lar to those in the bloody 1868
disturbances. At present. however,
many observers believe, the Arabs
are too busy reorganizing them
selves to 90 into unified action for
several months.

This table supports the conclusion
that the more money wisely eX-
pended for public health the lower
will be the death rate. According to
the Health Department, since 1910
there have been satisfactory drops
in mortality rate of pneumonia, tu-
berculosis, and in infant mortality
due in large part to preventive medi-
cine facilities.
Consider Specific Years.
Taking 1910 and 1914 as specific
years for comparative purposes, the
decreases are as follows:
Pneumonia-532 deaths in 1910, or
802 per l00, 1000 population, as against
431 deaths in 1914, or 479 deaths per
100000 population, for a decrease of
40 per cent.
TuberculoSis-591 deaths in 1910,
or 69.1 deaths per 100000 population,
as against 500 deaths in 1914, or 662
per 100000 population, for decrease
Of 26 per cent.
Infant mortality - TIT deaths in
1910, or 47.2 per 1000 live births, as
against 878 deaths in 1914. or 1873 per
1000 live births, for a decrease of
19 per cent.
In commenting on these statistics,
DR.. George c. Rutland, District
Health Officer, had this to say:
The infant mortality rate has
been used by health authorities as
one of the most sensitive indicators
in the evaluation of health services
Infant Mortality Down.
I'm the city as a whole, although
the number of infant deaths in
creased from TIT in 1910 to 878 in
1914 % per cent increase, it
should be understood that during
the same period the number OF births
in the city increased from $500 in
1910 to 22,850 in 1914. This is a so
per cent increase in the number of
births. The infant mortality rate,
expressed as the number of infant
deaths per 1000 live births, takes
into account this enormous in
crease in births. Therefore, this
rate is the more accurate as an in
dicator in measuring the effective
ness Of infant welfare service.
Throughout the city," he contin-
ued, ''the infant mortality rate
dropped from 47.2 per 1000 live
births in 1910 to 1873 in 1914, a 10
per cent decrease. In the South
west Health Center area during the
same period, the infant mortality
rate per 1000 live births dropped Is
per cent. However, in the North
west Central area the infant NOR
tality rate increased IL per cent. The
Health Department believes the rate
in this instance represents a truer
picture Of the changes during the
past five-year period in these areas"
Health Department officials said
today they believe the mortality rate
can be reduced further if five pro-
jected health centers, similar to the
