Wallace Denies Role
In Baruch Error
BY ihs Assoeicfsd Prs.s

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Henry A.
Wallace, new editor Of the New
Republic magazine, said last night
The had nothing to do" with an
article in the publication dealing
with the coal controversy which
Bernard M. Baruch branded as
wholly false and deliberately SO"
The article was in the December
| is. issue Of the magazine. the first
under Mr.. Wallace's direction, and
said that President Truman del
legated the leadership" in the legal
battle against John L. Lewis ito the
toughest men around him. General
Counsel Clark Clifford and the
ubiquitous George Allen. both rein
forced by conservative Bernard
Baruch."
In a letter to Mr.. Wallace, which
lhe made public yesterday, Mr..
Baruch termed the story false and
declared:
"The truth easily could have
been ascertained by asking me. I
never communicated with the Pres
lident on this subject. I expect you
to correct this error which, ! should
think, is an unfortunate way to
begin a new job depending on pub
| lie confidence"
In reply Mr.. Wallace said in .
statement:
"On investigation since receiving
|Mr. Baruch's letter I found that
our reporter had excellent basis
| for stating that Mr.. Baruch was
supporting Clark Clifford and
George Alien in their attitude. Mr..
Baruch says this is not true.
IT received by messenger, three
hours after it had been released
to the press, Mr.. Baruch's letter
which assumes I personally COM
mitted an error with regard to him.
Mr.. Baruch would not write to the
editor of the New York Times to get
q correction Of a news report. AS
an experienced elder statesman, who
has had an infinite number Of
contacts with newspapermen, he
knows the ways Of the press. He
must know that I naturally had
nothing to do with this story from
Washington.
''Now that Mr.. Baruch has given
us his private telephone number
we shall see that hereafter our
reporters check with him on every
story involving so eminent figure"

RY WILLIAM BRADY. M. ID.

My ignorance worried me con- Stantly in the days of my youth, It seemed as though was always encountering embarrassing situa- tions because of 1t. For instance the crack on the jaw I received when I treasured an anxious young father that his bawling new baby was evidently a lively little brat. My ignorance, you see. When l was a kid a fine mother of the neigh borhood habitually referred to her children as "those brats of mine" and I assumed 1t was 6 term of affection.
 Of late years, however, l have be- come more resigned to 1t, After all, everybody is ignorant about one thing or another. What worries me nowadays is not so much my own ignorance of e thousand and one things outside of and nine hundred and ninety-nine things within my limited province, but the ignorance of the layman- and that means you, very llkely-in reference to questions of hygiene, sanitation, health, pathology, prevention and treatment, not to mention anatomy and physiology. Your snugnesS and complacency, indeed the way you Haunt your ignorance of these things, Mir. and Mrs. Layman, is what irkS me.
 Once upon 8 time I had a pa- tient, But didn't know how to treat him, so he fired me put him self under the care of a plausible quack.

 Had I been ten or twenty years ahead of the profession in practice, as they tell me I am sometimes in print, I might have won and held that's mans confidence and re- stored him to health, with the painless office injection treatment.
 This method had not been suffi- ciently developed to serve the pur- pose then -or at any rate had never learned about it. Today 1t is the method of choice for the treat ment of internal piles Git is not used for external piles).
 Lots of people. while not quite so ignorant as was my patient, are nevertheless ignorant enough to suffer serious impairment of health from internal bleeding piles-and sometimes these people are tgnor- ant enough to die eventually from the cumulative or remote effects Of

was mayor, and his plan was to find place for as many war veterans as possible. Of the num- Der available, he put around one hundred in the service almost ct the beginning. This was followed by more who went into the police department. No board, we think, will ever be able to reach this maximum. Sandland sought no notoriety over his action, simply explaining that war veterans were to be placed in all vacancies.
 First Assignment
 Engine Company 70. 5, then on East Main Street, opposite William Street, first claimed Bill. Later he was assigned to Engine Company No. 2 on Walnut Street. where he remained until his ad- vancement to the office of Cap- tain. His home was in the North eastern part of the city, Rose Street, and this was the reason the late Chief Heitman trans ferred him. In 1888, he was made 8 captain outright, and sent to- Engine No. II in Town Plot, Only a short time ago, he was trans ferred to the Brooklyn station.
 Bill Corcoran was 8 good man, a good citizen, and a fine fellow. His home and family were every thing to him. During vacation time, he and his folks travelled the country in the family trailer. They drove thousands of miles, and went into almost every state. An experienced conversationaliSt, Bill Corcoran's minute deScript- ion of the localities he visited and the people he met, was most valuable in thought and Sudca- tion. His death was rather sud- den, in view of the ideas on his mind for the coming summer. He expected to live for a long time vet, and we thought he would.
 He was kind and thoughtful, his laugh was genuine. and not forced, and he made 8 company officer of distinction in the de- partment in the every day re- ports he submitted to his super iorS.
 We think he should at least have been spared this summer, SO that he and his family could have carried into effect his well arranged plans for the annual vacation, rightfully accorded all members of the force.
 He was an old time member of the department, whose pride was somewhat ruffled at times when he read of certain questions pro- pounded of prospective members of the force. Liquor never touch- ed his lips.
 Bill Corcoran should have been allowed to live longer for the good he was to the department and the community. His feelings of op- position toward the pension bill and its packers may have hur- ried things.

By THE OUT EASTER

William H. Corcoran, a cap tain in the Fire Department, at- tached to Engine No. in the Brooklyn district, died early last week. His funeral took place last Thursday. We were there, because We had a right to be present; we knew Captain Corcoran, and we had talked with him upon many occasions during his lifetime. The Fire Department had @ del- egate of It's own present in uni- form at the funeral as a mark of respect to the deceased member. That was as 1t should have been, It has always been thus. So were same military men, because 1t was so that Bill was Q veteran of the first world war, and the escort was there to accord him the honor bestowed upon all such par ticipants. They lined the steps of the Sacred Heart Church, every man in the ranks in full uniform, except one person, & city official, they said he was. But 1t didn't look just military as we viewed the picture, because, after all fireman's funeral is a depart mental and military affair and nothing else. Civilian dress Is not in keeping in such ceremonies, no matter what position is held. Commissioners have no control over dead flremen. This was the rule applied by the late Chief Snagg, followed by Chief Heit- man and Grief Lynch, but forced on Chief Cavanaugh during his reign. along with attendance at the conventions of the 1nterna- tional Fire Chiefs Association.
 Good Tradesman
 Bill Corcoran, of course, was 6 private when he first joined the department. He had been official ly an electrician, and good one, too. But in addition, he could do almost any kind of work in con- nection with building construct ion, For instance, he was 8 plas- terer, a stone mason and also a brick layer. Construction work appealed to him, and his know ledge of the art often came in handy for his fellow workers in- terested in building little homes for the family comfort. Willing and friendly soul that he was, Bill Corcoran often supplied the idea and data necessary, not only to his personal intimates in the department, but also to num- erouS friends and neighborS, He gave his information freely and accurately, so that in e sense, upon many occasions, he was really the architect for the build ing planned.
 Waterbury born, Bill Corcorali first entered the Department on July 1919, when the two pla- toon was put into effect for the first time. The late Bill Sandland

 Let us 90 back to the Last Sup per 1900 years ago. Here Jesus Christ took bread and wine and, blessing them, said to His disciples; This iS my body which is given for you (Luke 22:le). "This Is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto the remission of sins" CMatt. 26:28) DO this In eommemoration of me" Muke 22:io) He thereby offered Himself to the Eternal Father as the Clean Oblation of the New Law and commanded that this sacrifice of Ills, which was completed on the Cross the following day, be re-en- acted by His Church until the end of time,

 Soak 'em Hard
 The dentist who moved in on the practice of our own dentist (still in service) demands $50 for an inlay such as our own dentist charged $15 or $2O for. My wife needs two teeth replaced by a bridge, and this profiteer quotes $500. what working person can afford this? Maybe this explains why 8 good many people neglect their teeth.
