idea that their military service en-

Observations
Truman Seems to
be Impervious to
Wintery Blasts
By HELEN EssARY

The reason Secretary OF state
Jimmy Byrnes caught the cold
that almost prevented him from
pushing off for London and the
UNo is because President Truman
asked him TO take a little walk
down the deck OF the presidential
yacht on that recent bleak week
end on the Potomac.
Mr.. Truman was stepping about
without an overcoat. So. Byrnes
surang outside =Also-without an
overcoat. Result. Byrnes got the
sniffles. Looks like Harry s. will
have to bundle up more. His ex-
ample Is too hard on the rest OF
the boys. II drives them to a Sir
Walter Raleigh gesture that agi-
tates the sinus.
Speaking OF the sinus and the
red eyes and the headache that
accompany II, II does seem that the
great national scientific minds that
invented the atomic bomb ought
TO think up some way to cure the
common cold.
Good news-The new medical
program OF the Veterans Admins
tration under Gen. Omar Bradley
makes certain that the disabled
veterans OF World War II get good
care. Hitherto the appropriation
for physicians was so small that
no good physician could afford TO
even try to live on such an annual
wage. Now, most Of the V. A.
medical positions will offer twice
the salary they formerly did. They
are tempting ambitious young men

tice.
