Political Jig Saw

INDIANAPOLIS-TO use old saw, coming here from Washington is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
 Washington was in ferment. politically, and so is this state as usual. farewell view of Wash ington was the House of Representatives listening silently to President TrmanS veto of the Case Bll and then voting Sing-Song, to uphold it. And fare- well noise was the incessant buzz of conversation all over town about the blow-up in the Supreme Court caused by that V-2 bomb hurled by Justice Jackson like minor love in rage, all the way from Germany at Justice Black
 link here with Washington was supplied by Jim Watson, 83, but like an old firehorSe, com-
 ing out on the same train to sit in the Republi- can state convention hand-picked candidate for the U S. Senatorial nomination. Hot delegates mHed about the lobby of the Caypool Hotel and slept three and four in every available room in town to prove that politicians can take anything, and love it. This seemed like no time to leave Washington but there is a time in these hectic days How ever, sometimes it seems good to leave that Cave of the Winds and get out among the people to see what is what if possible to do what is facetiousiy called by Washington political correspondents "feel- ing the pulse.
 There dOes seriously, seem tO be need at this time for some understanding. It's hard to believe that what Congress is doing such things for in- stance as oPA and the draft and failing to do on so many other things really represents the people It's hard to believe that the nation is headed so helI-bent back to what Warren O. Harding once called "noTmalcy" as 1t would seem from watching Congress. The periodic polls of public opinion gath cred by Dr. Gallup and others seem to indicate oth' erwise.
 But if the people are differently inclined from the trend of Congress there's failure somehow for them to make this known Primaries to date show only negIibe turn-0vefs War weaFineRs and fFstfa1 tl0ns may explain 1t, with people lstiess and Iack' ing any sure sign Of direction.

Whatever is, t is the purpose of tlliS reporter to around a bit in the next few weeks and try to find clue.
 This seemed good place to start because Indi- ana is in many ways typical, and . political show was ready-bled in the Republican state conven- tion It offers good specimen, too, because people perhaps politically minded in this state than anywhere else and for all that, they to get less in the way of good government than this keen inter- est would indicate.
 A reason that occurs off-hand to the observer is that the professional politicians still to have things quite under control which is true also else where This convention bears that out. Professionals here really professionals. Politics here is fine art.
 This is one of the few states where Senatorial candidates are nominated by convention. The bosses headed LID in the machine of Gov. Ralph Gates, some Jenner still young fellow who's been moving up the ladder and once served brief fill-in term U. S. Senator The bosses dtched aging Senator Wills the incumbent.
 There Is a progressive gentleman Rep. Charles LaFoIIette. who has made fine record in the House. who decided to buck the machine. but in vain In an open primary election he might have won. But the people didn't have look-in.
 There is plenty of under surface discontent with the old political ways. the machine rule in this state But it seems to lack an outlet, means of express sion People are fed up here, for example, with the liquor stake in politics.
 Republicans inherited from the Democrats of the Paul v. McNutt days a system which they have per- petuated Requests for beer licenses from the State Board first must be approved by the county chair man. This represents nice piece of political graft
 Here. in this Senatorial situation, from which the people are barred is one clue then to how the will of the people is fl0uted. eiI Of which, n the end. is translated into what happens in Washington

Now and then some one writes believe it or not, just to tell me how grateful she is and how happy she is since she received my in structions and reduced so many pounds.
 No one has ever expressed gra- titude for instructions on keeping slender. For that matter, I guess very few have ever asked for any such instructions.
 An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure only quiXotically actually no one wants any. That is why there are no physicians prac- ticing private preventive medicine From the present outlook the health specialist of the future will have to defer opening an office until some kind soul endows him so he car live while he is educating the public to buy his services.
 Whatever I say here about keep. ing slender will probably interes only people who are already tot stout.
 Ten, twenty years hence, probab. ly good many who should have been interested in 1t will wish they had been. That's always the way of human nature.
 Let grandma say it:
 Women inclined to be stount should keep their feet on the floor while fastening or unfasten- ing their shoes, and stand up, not sit down, to do it. They should pick up everything they drop by bending at the waist. I am a grandmother but it is as easy for me to stand with palms on the floor as to stand erect. I have free hip action, or as they say nowadays I have no hips.

It keeps my ankles strong, flexible and slender.

Realization
1.-THE PALESTINE DILEMMA"

CA continuation of this controversial
subject, in which the Guide is strongly
voicing its opinions, and the opinions OF
of the many who lave written to us on the
matter.)
The following excerpts from an inter,
view with the Most Rev. Mabarak, OF
Beyrouth, will enable us to more fully
realize the true attitudes of our people IN
Lebanon, as to the Jewish affair and how
it directly affects them.
Bishop Mabarak has gone on record in
favor of an unlimited Jewish immigra-
ton to Palestine.
His views were given to a representative
of the Palestine Post. He stated that the
English and American Committee have
not needed the majorities feeling in Leba'
non.
Adding that the Lebanese people would
favor the Jewish inhabitance of Pales'
tine; as it would be more beneficial for
Palestine and the Middle>East.
They can, and will cultivate the country's
resources and raise to higher standards,
their economic and educational levels.
Bishop Mabarak sincerely feels that
these are the attitudes of the Majority in
Lebanon. The Maronite Patriarch has on
various occasions confirmed his beliefs.
His strongest fears are that of a Mos
lem Control. On this he adds, that the
Moslems Arabs are attempting to push
out the Jews, in order that they, having
complete control, would then be in a po'
sition TO FORCE THE CHRISTIANS, AS
WELL, OUT OF PALESTINE.
His final words of warning, eff the Mos.
lem Arabs are allowed complete control
of Palestine, BLOODSHED AND CHAOS
WILL REIGN"
Another strong voice of protest to the
Arab Control, has been made by the "AL'
KATAEB"( Lebanon Boy Scouts, an active
group of the young and old in Lebanon.)
This confirmation from the East should
explain more clearly, why this situation is
a grave one, for our people over there.
1t should also help you to understand
more fully, why we have chosen to voice
our protests against the Arab Leaders,
who are so stupidity leading their people
into another state of confusion and inevi-
table bloodshed.
Unless the Arabs realize that the Jews
are to be allowed in Palestine, their right
full domain, and forget the dream of CON
themselves engaged in a civil conflict and
the entire civilized world will be against
them.
The Guide repeats it's policies to the
Arab Leaders in saying, eff THE ARAB
WOULD SPEND MORE TIME IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SOUND ECONO-
MIC STANDARD AND FURTHERING
THE EDUCATIONAL ABILITIES OF
THEIR PEOPLE, WHICH is SORELY
NEEDED, THEY WOULD SOON REAL,
IZE THE FUTILITY OF SUCH AGE<OLD
HOSTILITIES.
