Socialized Medicines Failure

 "The answer the question of whether not want control in the form of socazed medicine, any other kind of medicine should be fairly simple Obv ousy, government control promises higher standard of medical want it. If better medical care be achieved by eschewlng government handling we do not want it.

NO JOY IN FLATBUSH
(New Haven Register)

There is no joy in Flatbush today. Brooklyn's amazing Dodgers yester- days team of destiny, are today just the team which finished second in the National League. However, before they reached this prosaic end to the glory trail the now not-so- beloved Buns served in the ultimate understudy role in writing a new chapter in baseball history. There is no cash and small glory in such a role. However, the men of Du- rocher can reap some measure of solace as they retire to lick their wounds of pride and pocketbook. For five hectic days they shared the front pages of the nations press with Tito, the atomic bomb, the DardanelleS issue, Henry Wallace, Bernard M. Baruch and an assort- ment of events upon the outcome of which might hang worlds destiny
 Since last Sunday when the Dodg- CTS and the St. Louis Cardinals matched losing streaks to back into the first National League pennant tie in the annals of organized base ball, men everywhere have talked of little else. Here was the team ex- pected by the experts to go nowhere arriving at the door of champion ship, and yesterday shutting that door on it's own feet. Men, women and children who in ordinary days knew little about baseball and cared less adopted this Brooklyn team as their own. Outlanders grew as fam atical in their devotion as the most ardent denizen of Greenpoint, for here was the team destined to make the Merritt Parkway and the New Yorh, New Haven and Hartford mere shuttle routes for Boston Brooklyn World Series. This was the team which climbed to the peak over a 154-game season. Yesterday it fell flat on its face.
 Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright, but there is no joy in Brooklyn, where wild-eyed citizens stalk the streets darkly, wait until next year"

Views of the Press

lby the public resentment over the
 workings of the OPA. That agency
 may have served somewhat use ful and necessary purpose during
 the war, but in peace time it has no justif1able place in our economy.
 Its efforts to frustrate the unwrit- ten law of supply and demand have over and over again proved abor- tive, of which the present condi- ton of the meat market affords the most glaring example.
 During the brief period when OPA controls were of and Con- gross was concocting the present scheme of half-free, half-controlled economy, meats of all kinds were becoming increasingly available to the public and the quality was steadily improving. If prices were above the former OPA ceilings, they were beginning to drop in accord ance with the immutable operations of supply and demand.
 But the moment the Decontrol Board gave it's sanction to the re- sumption of meat controls by the OPA, the growers of cattle, sheep and hogs left the stockyards vacant. It is easy enough to say that they should not have done this, but it imposes 8 severe tax on credulity to assume that they should have been willing to market their livestock at prices below what they deemed pro- f1table. AS consequence some eighty thousand persons have been thrown out of work in the packing industry, and as further conse- quence all the by-products of slaughtering are becoming scarcer and scarcer. Many of these by- products have extensive use in medicine and the medical profess sion is naturally deeply concerned over the situation. Then, of course, the manufacturers of leather goods of one kind and another are hard hit by the lack of hides, and this, as might be expected. is of great con- cern to the public. But we need not go into all the ramifications that have resulted from putting meat control back into the inept hands of OPA. Sufficient is it to say that the quicker OPA, with all its frills and furbelows, is thrown out the window, the better will it be for our whole economy.
 The only field where there is any real excuse for the OPA to operate is with respect to rents, the demand for which so far exceeds any pos- sible supply that control over prices cannot well be avoided. But even here the landlord, with all the higher cost she has to meet in the way of taxes, materials and labor, is properly entitled to a larger measure of consideration than he has yet received from the OPA.

Your Health
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

Young mother living in 8 base ment apartment (which, being hu- man, she thinks will be damp this winter) asks whether the baby should sleep with her on cold win- ter nights, or whether it would be better for the bbay to sleep in his own crib.
 In the first place a basement is no damper than an upper floor pro- vided there is no actual flooding or backf1ow or seepage of water in- to the place. The lower floor just gets less sunlight than upper floors get, in city apartment buildings. The more sunlight, daylight, sky shine, whether the sun shines brightly or only through cloud, fog, smoke, the better for baby and everybody else. But for the baby's sake and for grampa's forget the dampnesS notion. There are three good reasons why the baby should not sleep in the same bed with mother or any one else. CD That way the baby almost inevitably catches whatever con- municible disease mother happens to have. (2) The baby may be smothered by the mother acciden- tally rolling upon the baby in sleep (3) Neither mother nor baby can sleep as restfully together as alone
 A baby or very young child nor mally or naturally generates more heat and has more heat to dissipate than an older child or an adult, in proportion with the area of body surface. It is therefore easier for baby to keep comfortably warm when the weather or room atmos- phere is cold and more difficult for the baby to keep comfortably cool when the weather is hot or when the room atmosphere is overheated or when the room is poorly venti- lated or when the bed covers are too heavy or too thick or when the baby's clothing is excessive.
 For every baby that is not kept warm enough in cold weather there are thousands who are kept too warm for comfort and health, day and night, winter and summer.
 Ideal for sleeping, in the summer season everywhere and in most heated dwellings throughout the winter, is just diaper, no other garment, and light fluffy blanket as emergency cover aganist the chill of early morning.
 Incidentally, try to get this fact fixed in your mind if you have the care of a baby. Everyday expos ure," as to drafts, chilly breezes, dampness, insufficient clothing for comfort or in fact any such ex- perience short of sunburn, sun- stroke, frostbite or freezing, never makes baby or anyone else ill.
 Here is the best test of whether the baby is dressed, covered or pro- tected enough, in any circum- stances: Feel of the baby's feet. If they feel warm, the baby is plenty warm and to put on more cover or clothing or to apply more warmth or heat when the baby is already warm enough is to rob the baby of comfort, make the baby peevish, restless and cross.

explained that disease control in Brazil made ouate and that several epidemcs of the dread hoof and mouth malady had been recorded there during the past two decades.
 This warning was ignored. One hundred and six teen Brazan bulls were cleared through the Mexican quarantine station Sacrificos Island in the Gulf of Mexico off Veracruz and brought to the mainland few months later the Mexicans placed second order for 3N additional bulls.
 On June of this year, while that second ship ment was to SacrificOs, the Agriculture De- partment banned all Mexican cattle from entering the United States Agricultural attaches of the D. S. Embassy had reported that number of the original bulls from Brazil showed symptoms of being hoof- and-mouth disease carriers
 Theoretically the second lot of 327 bulls has been held intact on Sacrficios pending exhaustive tests by joint commission of U S. and Mexican govern ment veterinarians. Officials say the truth s how ever that nearly of these animals have already found their way to the mainland
 These are the facts which led the Agriculture Department to continue it's embargo, with President Truman's official approval, in the face of vigorous protests from both Mexican and Brazilian cattle in- terestS, well as some breeders in the U.S.A.
 NOTE-The ban on Mexican cattle today helps contribute to the meat shortage since Mexican beef much of it owned by U. s. ranchers-has always sold north of the border in large quantities in the past

WASHINGTON, Oct 5-(NEA)-There is rec ord that Henry Wallace Secretary of Commerce ever met with the president Of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, William K. Jackson, or the president of the National Association of Manufacturers, Robert R. Wason. Though the Secretary of Commerce is supposed to promote the welfare of business he ap- parently made attempt to consult these two heads of the big business organizations, and they never made any attempt to consult him.
 bad as it sounds for president usually tours the country and spends little time in Washington. With NAM Chairman Ira Mosher Wallace had con- ferred, and with Jacksons predecessor head of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, Eric Johnston, Wallace had served in the Labor Management Con- ference year ago.
 In all the excitement about mot being able to get along with the Russians" State and War De- States is dealing with the Russans-every day and wide variety of problems-in Berlin, Vienna, Tokyo, Seoul, Washington, Moscow Paris, and the United Nations headquarters at Lake Success, N. Y
