Hands Off, Washington!

Welauhenticated reports have to this newspaper that President Truman and Democratic Chairman Robert Hannegan are eXerng direct and Sen Bren MacMahon and other party leaders in this state designed bring about the nomination for o tor mer Economic Stabilzer Chester BoWes.
 The which they cite to support their activity m Chesers behalf that he had rather rough ride In Wash ngon and they think he ought to have anything he wants in the way of political office back here in Connecticut No mention of the that he would make good bad or ln different head of our consideration of the fact that whatever experience and talents he may boast would nd cate that ability the citizens of Connecticut might be greater in the United States Senate batting with and other reactonares than In the State Cato Hartford Just merely the old political payo tor service rendered. Chester wants to run for governor he ought to have the chance
 Chester has his eye cooked at the White House and while he's political neophye in many he does recog nze that the road to Pennsylvania Avenue shorter from a governors chair than from the United States Senate So back home In Connecticut are supposed to Chester with enthusiasm and koWoW to the wishes of Washington regardless Of what opinions we might have in the matter ourselves
 President Truman like Franklin Roosevelt and many others before him. has had distinguished lack of success succeed in defeating Congressman Slaughter in his home state of Missouri but his attempts at interference in select ing state tickets elsewhere have been futile.
 Let us hope that Connecticut Democratic leaders will have the courage follow their ideas to who should be nominated what and not allow themselves to be stamped ed into paving off fancied political debt which party heads in Washington think they lame duck party hack par ticuarv when the medium in which payment IS made con- sists of votes
 We don't need any help from Washington to decide whom we want to nominate and cast our votes for.

Needs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-(NEA)-Less than one third of Americas real hospital needs will have been all of the s1 25 900 of federal state and local funds have been spent under the fve-year hospital and construction recently signed by President Truman.
 In 1945 the American Medical Association made survey of existing facilities in general-tubercuar mental, and ronic-disease hospitals in the United States, Alaska Hawaii, and Puerto Rico It showed 65ll hospitals in operation, with 1739ooo beds.
 To bring U. s. disqualification up to an adequate minimum standard says the U S. Public Health Service would require provision for TIA GOO new beds the replacement of 1000 existing beds with new facilities and the construction of 45OO new public health centers and clinics the basis of one such center for every 900 population The total cost of this program would be s3,939,O0O,o00.
 Only one-third of the SIPS O0o which may be spent under the new hospital survey and construc- ton act is to come from federal funds It is to be made available as grantS-in aid to the states and territories at the rate of s75oooooo year for five years. The remaining o-thirds of the money must come from non-federal funds.
 part may be raised by state and local taxes or bona issues. Such money would normally go into state, county municipal hospitals and institutions But large share of the money raised in each state must come from local subscriptions and campaign drives to aid private non-profit hospitals
 The profit angle is important Private hos pitals for profit will get TO share of the fed eral funds to be allocated.
 Another important consideration is that no local hospital project will get its grant directly from the federal government Each state or territory must set up single designated agency to make survey ana plan to improve disqualification in it's entire area All the states will have to take formal action creat- ing these hospital agencies at the 1947 sessions of their legislatures.
 Two million dollars of federal money is immed- aaAy available to aid the state agencies in their plan

Job for the Big Brother

In the past two months six major outrages have been committed by the Yugosavian forces of Marshal lto on June 19 and again 30 Yugosav patrols entered the Allied occupation of Venezia Gua in the Trieste area the latter surrounding British patrol With the explanation that they acting orders On July l2 Yugosavs crossed the boundary of the American sector o Venezia Gula and fired without upon ln vestgatng U. S. troops July 13 American soldiers dis covered that Yugosavs had again penetrated the and had machnegun post the of the previous days trouble On August 9 and on August 19 American transport planes were attacked by Yugoslavan aircraft
 Thus Yugoslava-a small country of small which could not hope match herself against the might ot the United States Great Brain-amazes war-weary world by seeming to ask for trouble. Why? The patently obvious.
 Marshal Tito and his little nation in the Soviet orbit of Eastern Europe They like other little rulers and other little nations depend upon Russia for diplomatic and If need be- military backing.
 The presumption Yugosavia displays is by her exclusive property. The Romanan representative at the Paris conferences arises aud the USSR for the moderation of the separations she asks-and that Romana beaten Axis satellite will pay the eXcesslve reparatlons demanded by the Western Allies The Bulgarian representative Paris takes the scahing assault Greece and demands that Bulgaria. Hit leran ally be given territory belonging to Greece Hteran victim.
 Nor is Yugoslavia alone in the apparent disregard selfinerest she exhibits. Small nation Poland repeatedly votes at Paris against giving small nations greater say the formation of the treates-voting with large tion Russia.
 Yugoslavia's unwarranted boldness seems much like that of the little boy familiar in every American neigh borhood He can't fight lick himsef-but he seeks, nevertheless, to impose his will stronger paymates by threatening to send his big brother after them if they op- him. In doing he dsregards the fact that big brother himself might not relish scrap.
 The big brother in this of course, Russia And that the United States and Great Britain have with official communications 'aid down the law to Yugosavia sha Stan to take little Marshal Tito aside just as itely explain the facts of life to him

By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

Colds are spread from person to person by directly coughing from mouth to mouth or indirectly by spraying the atmosphere in close proximity to others. This accounts for the spread of colds in & school room, in bus or in family.
 I quote the foregoing paragraph from an article by Albert D. Kaiser, MD. in Rochester Hospital Service News, Dr. Kaiser being city health officer. Dr. Kaiser adds that:
 The transfer Of the cold virus from one person to another can be lessened if the coughing and sneez- ing spray is intercepted by the ap- plication of a handkerchief to the face.
 That's putting It mildly, almost pleasantly, I should say. Possibly the Rochester Hospital Service News would not permit the doctor to give any more of the unpleasant details years ago when I wanted to tell the radio audience about spray or droplet infection, in a talk over a chain hook-up, the exquisite young man whose uncle or somebody own ed that channel of air, deleted everything from my script that, in uncle's opinion might not be pleas ant for women and children to hear.
 Dr. Kaiser mentions that this in- Tterception of cough or sneeze spray t,yy aor1jp Nf iof ta face lis most important for the in- dividual with the cold.' That I can't understand at all, at all. In my ben1ghted fancy interception of mouth or nose spray is more im- portant for the poor geek who gets Sprayed-for, whatever the alleged cold" may prove to be-and heaven only knows in the early and most communicable stage whether it will prove to be diphtheria, meningitis simple coryza, flu, infantile paraly- sis, or whatnot-the sprayer already has it but the vistirn who fail to duck is the one who is going tc get it.
 I'd let this essay on The Com mon Cold" by Rochester's health officer pass but for the deplorable fact that the good doctor (his book "Children's Tonsils In and Out, ; Lippincott, '32) proves. for my money, that he is a good doctor) says not one word about converse tional spray-and that, my dear misguided folks, is in my opnion the chief mode of infection by all of the respiratory infections being responsible for three-fourths of all the illness doctors attend.
 say this is my belief or opin- ion. am not in a position to prove it-certainly should not voluntar- fly expose myself to conversational spray in any circumstance if I could possibly keep out of range, and Ic never subject any other person tc

that any solution be found
 The second part of the Jewish problem involves much wider issues. President Truman hopes that fixed number of persons, including Jews" may be allowed into the United States. That, at least, IS start.
 But this is question for the whole world, not Britain and America alone, 10 consider Why should not other countries accept proportion of these un happy people? And why should not European tries retain of them? Hitler is dead, Nazsrn destroyed. We hope that this is age of religious and racial tolerance Surely, 1t should be necessary happy memories there, but it is the future that counts, not the past.
 If America and Britain between them should accept enough refugees to clear the American and British of the l12,0OO Jews for whom have the most direct and urgent responsibility there still would be many hundred thousands left. The problem must be accepted a world basis. South America could accept large numbers. So could the British dominions.
 Not all would be expected to work the land, and the problem of accommodating and employing thousands Of foreigners would be considerable But if twenty countries would help. the problem would be manageable. It be done. And there is reason to suppose that these so-caled refugees" would not become useful members of the community and, in time, add to the prosperity of their hosts.
 Those who call for unrestricted immigration into Palestine should think little further country smaller than Wales cannot absoro unlimited immi- grants. If the politicians who make these appeals feel strongly that the Jews in need of civilized homes, let them emulate Mir Truman and invite some O. these unhappy people into their own countries.
 The world must to use the plight of the Jews pawn in the game of political electioneer- ing Instead let us remember the Good Samaritan. He did not try to dlnp the man who fell among thieves onto unwilling neghbors He handled the job himself

Handkerchiefs to Check SneeZlng Sprays Urged

any such risk just to get experi- mental evidence. I am convinced that ordinarily police conversation al spray carries most respiratory infections from one person to an- other. It is for the doctor who doesn't believe the mouth or nose spray, emitted during quiet conver- sation is as deadly as any spray emitted during coughing or sneez- ing to undergo or persuade others to undergo such experimental tests to show the conversational spray is negligible.

ming. This money will be apportioned by Surgeon General Thomas Parran of the U. S. Public Health Service under whose organization the entire hospital program Will be supervised.
 No state will get less than s1oooo for its plan ming. Some of the more populous states may get much as S200,000.
 When the time comes to raise money and receive federal aid for local hospital projects each state must put up two dollars for every dollar it gets from the federal government, apportoned by the Surgeon Generals office
 None of the first years s750OoOOO for construe- ton was actually appropriated by Congress before adjournment. That little matter will have to be taken care of after the Congress convenes in January.
 So if any hospital construction is started under this program before l948 by which time the vet erans' housing program will be out of the way, it will be doing we'll And if all the hospitals provided for are built and in operation by 1855 they will be doing well.
 There has been a little criticism that this bill gets foot in the door leading to socalized med cine, but the charge doesn't stand up For one thing and the American Hospital Association back of this bill Nothing in the bill will change existing med ical practice bit.
 The federal government is gwen the power to approve or disapprove plans grants made to the applying states but appeal against the decisions of the Surgeon General may be made through the courts.
 Special attention, and extra alocations of money, are to be given rural and loW-income areas, where free medical-care and hospital needs greatest.
 Certain minimum standards must be met There must be adequate proof that the hospitals to be built can be maintained If a state submits no plan by July l. 1948 1t can't get in the program. No hos ptal can be in community that already has ade- quate facilities
 But all these are safeguards to public health and to the taxpayers.

Conflicting Reports

President Peron of Argentina made some frank state ents to leaders of his National Revolutionary Party the other day He said that to form single political party possible And he added 10 gov ern is not my profession My profession that of sodef and will die fighting.
 We are more inclined believe President Perons estl- mates of his capabilities and of his next political move than the whitewash given him by Andrew Jackson Higgins the confident New Orleans shpbuider during onceoVer- lightly trip to Argentina last June .e
 Mr. Higgins it may be recalled, assured the Peronlstas that American correspondents deliberate when thev called General Peron dictator and that American press coverage of Argentina controlled and doc tored."
 We hope that MT. Higgins read the directly quoted statement of Argentnas chief executive Or perhaps he thinks that was "doctored,' too

CLARENCE TAPPIN'S BOOK ON FRENCH CULTURE WINS
 CONFIRMATION

Waterbury, Conn,
 Aug. B, 1946. Editor of The Democrat MT. Clarence Tappin's book on French Culture, written in conjunc- ton with Miss Dorothy M. Craw- ford of the Crosby High staff de- mands some words of praise from journalistic pen-but, before going further, I must include Joseph E. Feeney of the same staff whose pie lures taken during service in World War l add a professional note to the format. The book is designed to acquaint the student with French Arts and Letters, Commerce and Geography, History Religion and Government. It really deserves edi- torial comment for it is truly a matter of civic pride to have the teachers of ones city become so ex- pert in their work as to be able to have books published.
 Again, only teacher knows how much help there is in a good sup elementary book and no doubt the fame of Waterburys Crosby High French staff has gone far beyond the confines of the city as the book is being gradually taken up in var ious school systems throughout the state and nation.
 Having come upon this informa- tion recently and being pleasantly surprised over it, I want to pass on the good news of the success of the Crosby French staff.
 Sincerely,
 J. w. SCULLY.

Today in Europe

LONDON-President Truman's recent statement Palestine, if it does not go far, is at least encouraging in one respect, The whole problem Of world JeWry falls into two distinct parts First there the question of Palestine itself secondly the much wider question of the Jewish race a whole The two must be considered separately. Though MT. Tru- mans statement does not help the British Govern ment very much the first part of the problem is encouraging in regard to the second and larger question
 The irresponsible pledges made m 1914 by the British Labor Party and by the Republican and Dem ocratc parties in the United States promising stricted immigration into Palestine quite obviously cannot be made good. The number of Jews allowed absorb them. This must be worked out and the final figure arrived at Any Jews desiring to lnmigrate from Europe after that figure was reached would have to go elsewhere.
 But system of that sort has a chance of working satisfactorily until stop is put to illegal British Government Is 1900 a month. IL Is only reasonable that illegal immigrants should count against that figure Thus, the efforts of the Jewish Agency to ensure the immigration of the most de- serving frustrated by the mschievous ac- tvities Of responsible for financing and organ izng illegal entrants.
 Such revisionists Ben Hecht, co-chairman of the American League for Free Palestine, openly boast of their efforts to appeal to the public through columns in the newspapers for funds to help them continue their work. Their goal to be to become sufficiently numerous to revolt against the illegal British With these reckless and irresponsi- ble elements the Jewish Agency has no sympathy It finds them source of considerable embarass- ment.
