Ne1V Cabinet Post
Urged bySbeaker

The problems of health, welfare
and security have become so inter-
twined and have attained such ma
tional Importance that new de-
partment Of the Government with
cabinet status must be established
to deal with them, the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club was told yes
terday.
The Recommendation was made by
Malcolm Langford, law associate OF
Oscar Cox, former assistant solicitor
general, who was unable to address
the luncheon meeting because Of ILL.,
ness.
A nations security depends on the
preservation of the health and life
of its people, Mr.. Langford said. AS
a way of assuring this security, he
urged support of the Taft-Fulbright
and Aiken bills which would set up
a cabinet department of the Govern
ment, combining health, welfare and
educational agencies in one unit.
The fact that 100000 out Of
100000 were rejected by Selective
Service for physical unfitness in
dicates that problems which were
once considered Of community and
local nature nave become national
in scope, Mr.. Langford said. He also
pointed out that out Of 10000
teachers before the war, $50, 900 have
quit the profession for better-paying
positions.
There is nothing closer to the
people than their basic health,
opportunity for self development
and minimum amount Of security" /"
the speaker said, land to the extent
1t neglects to meet these basic needs,
democracy fails"
Mr.. Langford was introduced by
Mrs. c. Leslie Glenn, program chair
man. Mrs. Philip Dodson, vice pres
ident, presided.

There was no one who could appeal to the
people as FDR did and there is no one who
can appeal to the people as he did.
That is the reason that everyone is re-
cuested to be supporting and contributing
and cooperating in this infantile paralysis
drive with added vigor and determination.
For If will take all of this and more to gain
for the Foundation that support which will
reduce the anxiety of parents to a minimum
and increase their assurance to the maximum
that there will be at hand in case their child
rem are attacked by this still mysterious dis
ease the emergency treatment that spells the
difference between recovery and being Grip
pied for life.
There can be no assurance that any fam
liz will be immune from the attack OF this
disease. There is no assurance that 1T may
not come in wider scope than ever. The only
assurance there can be is the assurance you
help to give through your contribution and
help in this drive.
That is the assurance that Franklin D.
Roosevelt. the greatest of all humanitarians,
asks YOU to aid in giving. He made that re-
quest to YOU directly and personally while
living. He makes it now from across the
Great Divide through those to whom he left
the message to broadcast to you the same ap-
peal after he had passed on.
There are many splendid things that were
bequeathed to you and all of US in the legacy
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but none more
precious than his appeal that may be said to
come from the Great Beyond, "My friends,
do not forget to do your part to give the child
rem of America the protection against infan-
tile paralysis that the National ~1nfantile Par
alvsis Foundation affords"
Your support will continue to success the
magnificent crusade against this disease
which the great heart and sympathy Of Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt founded. Your contri-
button will live through the years in the salts
flying thought to you that but for what you
did some child now healthy and happy might
have been the victim of this scourge.-LAB-

FDR APPEALS AGAIN

Franklin Delano Roosevelt would be per-
sonallv sending a ringing appeal over the rad
10 for support of the March of Dimes and the
National ~Infantile Paralysis Foundation II he
was alive. How he cherished the work OF this
enterprise is we'll demonstrated in the fact
that he gained from some of those closest to
him the pledge that after he had passed on
they would see that the work of the Founda-
ton was continued.
What perhaps he was really saying to
them was: you keep taking my message to
the people. after l am gone, urging them to
continue their support of the March of Dimes
and the National Foundation until this dread
full scourge has been wiped out and parents
do not feel a clutching at their hearts every
time they look at their children because of the
fear that they may be attacked by infantile
