He plans every speech by listing

Him of the rest. If his time runs
short, he has TO eliminate a few

he crosses out the ones he didn't

WASHINGTON d. C.-Mr. Gael
Sullivan, the political seidlitz pow
der of the Democrat National Com
mittee, is likely to find himself In
the Presidential woodshed again.
While Papa was away, the Ebul-
lient One did his best to destroy
the nations bipartisan foreign
policy by trying to make 1t a po-
litical issue.
Once before, in an impulsive and
quickly regretted letter to Chair
man Reece of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, he did this. But
his feverish appeal to Mr.. Reece
to join him in a public endorse
ment of the Truman Doctrine
brought him such a severe casti-
CATION that he dropped the mat
ter Immediately.
His long silence, however, did
not mean abandonment of the no.
tion. Far from. it.
On September 3. the very day
Mr.. Truman closed the Inter-Am-
erican Defense Conference with
speech dedicating the United States
to vigorous pursuit of the ways
of international peace, he again
dragged the bipartisan foreign
policy into the muddy waters of
politics.
Mr.. Sullivan cannot deny his re-
sponsibility for the puerile attack
upon Republican Leaders in Con-
gress on the matter of foreign pol
icy.
1t was the Democrat National
Committee, under his direction and
guidance, which planned the. Sep
tember 3 nationwide radio politi
cal meeting, during which Demo-
crat leaders in seven cities at
tackled the Republican Congress.
1t was. this. committee which dis
tributed complete texts of every
speech, every statement made. And
: it was Mr.. Sullivan who acted as
master of ceremonies.
: AS ring master, it was he who
called upon Senator Myers Of
Pennsylvania for this gem Of rea-
} soning "They (the voters) real
ize what he fMr. Truman) has. been
: up against in the way of pipsqueak
| partisan congressional obstruction
} ism in his handling of foreign pol
ICY"
I On the veryx day Mr.. Sullivan's
: stars went through their roles.
two Republican leaders were with
| Mr.. Truman in Petropolis, Brazil,
E where they had proved emifently
effective in negotiating the. Inter
!, American treaty of defense. These
p men were Senator Arthur H. Van
denberg and Warren Austin, chief
u. S. representative to the United
. Nations
This sort of political nonsense,

!, : can people. They know the great

done, ever since the first United
Nations conference in San Fran
! cisco, to aid the Administration.
not only in developing wise for
eign policy, but in making it eff
fective. They know what Mr.. Aus

THE WAGNER MURRAY : DINGELL
compulsory health insurance bill was by
passed by the last session of Congress. In all
probability it will be debated and brought to
a vote during the next session. 1t is thus a
live issue, whose significance should be thor
oughly understood by the American people
before Congress convenes again.
Raymond Moley accurately described the
measure when he said: ''It proposes a vast
range of services for practically everyone
who wishes free service -. 1t covers all sorts
of medical, dental, nursing and hospital SER
vices. In part, it would be paid for by tax on
wages and on payrolls and, in part, by gen.
eral taxation. It's ramifcations go into state
and local public health, into hospitals, private
voluntary health associations and the like. .
Nothing was ever conceived or devised
which would more effectively reduce the med
ical profession to dependence on the govern
ment and tie state and local agencies to the
wheels of federal government :. 1t is a
threat which deserves far more public atten-
tion than it has yet been receiving"
No one can accurately determine the f.
nancial cost of this proposal The best esti-
mates place it at between $4,O00,000,OO0 and
S6,O00,000,O00 year. 1t would be very
long step toward complete specialization OF
medicine. 1t would maAe doctors employees
of the state, and embroil them deep in poll
tics. 1t would discourage experiment and re.
search, and destroy initiative And, finally
it would undercut the finest system of medi
cal care existing in the world.

ware at large, established an out
standing record, 96 per cent per-
feet, during the first session of the
S0th Congress, a recent survey of
the official Congressional Record
revealed.
Even an unusually high average
of 81 per cent attendance for the
House as a whole, did not dim the
lustre of Boggs' record Out of the
possible ~ roll calls on legisla-
tive matters, the average Con-
gressman cast his vote 81 times.
Boggs voted IA times.
The Delaware vote was faith
fully utilized.
