back, Republican candidates for the
Senate will follow the same pro-
cedure. Gov. Dewey will speak in
l3 States before he gets back to
Albany two weeks hence, and in
six he will be pleading for the elec-
ton of Republican Senators.
The present Senate lineup is 81
Republicans to As Democrats. A
net switch of four seats would put
the Democrats in control and the
Republican high command realizes
this could easily happen even in
the face of a Dewey victory ma
tlonally.
Gov. Dewey's first major speech
from Des Moines tonight will be
broadcast over the Nation wide Co
iumbia and Mutual networks.
If Gov. Dewey takes any direct
notice of President Truman's Sat-
urday blast at Republicans as
"gluttons of privilege it will sur
prise those who have been fol-
lowing his plans for this campaign.
The Governor is known to have
completed work on his Des Moines
speech before MI. Truman spoke
The general expectation is that
Gov. Dewey, convinced that he Is
out in front, will confine himself
10 vigorous, but Affirmative pre-
sentation of his own program,
rather than permit himself to be
drawn into verbal fencing match
with Mr.. Truman.
In view of the fact that his
trail will be following the Truman
special through most of the West,
if he should undertake to make
direct personal replies to the Presl-
dents forensic phrases, he would
be putting himself on the defensive.
Few around him believe he will
be lured into doing that.

ing background when he starts work

subject that offers such wide
range for an artists talents.
If Mickey likes to do still life, one
of his painting could be of Max
Baer the night he fought Joe Louis.
No sunf1ower painted by Van Gogh
ever was stiller than Max was that
night. In one corner of the ring
was his chief second, Jack Dempsey,
and in another was Joe Louis, at
his prime. Afraid of Dempsey and
afraid of Louis, Baer wisely stayed
in the middle until chopped down.
Tankers Always Possible.
If Mickey's bent is seascapes, he
could do q painting showing a
tanker going to her final plunge In
the pounding surf Of a fixed fight.
OF course, if he wants to do a
really heroic canvas he could choose
no better subject than his own fight
with Max Schmeling, in which
! Mickey proved that while a good
little man may not be able to beat
good big man, he is capable OF
giving him one rough and ready
time. Mickey must have weighed
in the neighborhood of 165 that
night, and the way he charged the

were there wonder if a good l64

He wasn't known as the Toy Bull

how a critic would go about finding
fault with Mickey Walker paint

me a blob of house paint on a Bit

into raptures and swear it was the

his brush.
I advise the hotel owners who
commissioned Mickey to take what

was a craftsman. But If they should

Early this month Premier Alcide

on the basis that the presence OF
American warships would play into

who were shouting that Italy had
become an American colony.

emphatically denied that such q
request had ever been made-ano

Non-Red Group Disheartened.
Reports from Italy say that the

pleased at the departure Of the
American warships. Not only did
they consider them a potential help
in the event of trouble, but they
also have lost a good flow Of dol

wishes. Doctors also are and should
be free to reject patients.
The trend is toward this system
throughout the world. Among i'm
portant countries only two have not
adopted it. One is the United
States. The other is Soviet Russia.
Senate and House committees
have been considering the subject
since May, 1945, when President
Truman first proposed that this
country get in line with the rest OF
the Western world. Final hearings
for this session will be held by the
Senate Labor and Public Welfare
Committee beginning March /. Two
bills are being considered. One,
sponsored by Senators Wagner,
Murray, Pepper, Chavez, Taylor and
Nc cGrath, provides for system of
health insurance.
Substitute Termed Charity.
A substitute, sponsored by Sena-
tors Taft, Smith, Ball and Donnell,
Is in effect charity measure. 1t
provides for Federal grants to the
States, to be used by the States In
making some medical care available
to people who qualify as NEEDY"
The money would be given to the
States on a matching, dollar for
dollar basis. If a State did not
choose or found itself financially
unable to participate, no one in that
State would be benefited.
The national insurance plan would
not interfere with present voluntary
insurance plans, although, after
many years Of effort, only five per
cent Of the population now has COM
prehensive medical care under such
plans.
In recent years we have formed
the habit Of turning to Bernard
Baruch for words of wisdom on all
subjects. In a recent speech to the
Medical Society of New York State,
Baruch, son Of a doctor, said he
had been studying the question Of
medical care.
Baruch Tells Findings.
"Soon," he said, II was up to my
neck in reports, statistics, speeches,
Congressional hearings. conferred
with many persons, doctors and
non doctors, experts and amateurs" ;"
His conclusion: "A form of COM
pulsory health insurance for those
who cannot pay for voluntary in
surance can be devised, without in
volving what has been termed so
cialized medicine"
And this admonition: TN the
matter of adequate medical care,
too many doctors have been fight
ing a rear-guard action for too
long. I feel I must warn those doc
tors-time is running against them. :"

This Changing World
Cold War Speeding Up as Russians
Put Pressure on Czech, Italian Regimes

while these governments pretend
to be Offering a helping hand to
Italy, through the Marshall Plan in
particular, they want to appropri-
ate for themselves the rich col
onies In North and East Africa at
the expense of the italian people.
Moscow alone, the propaganda
says, has the interest of the COM
mon man" in Italy at heart and
demands from the capitalistic VIC
tors that the italian colonies be
returned to the italian people them
selves.
This is a complete reversal of
Russia's policies of year ago, when
Foreign Minister Molotov insisted
at the international conference
that the U. s. S. r. be given trus-
teeship over some Italian possess
sions in the Southern Mediter-
ranean. At the same time Russia
insisted that Ethiopia, which re-
ceived a large Soviet mission year
ago, should be allowed to annex
the former Italian colony of Eritrea
on the shores of the Red Sea.
Kremlin Policy Reverses.
The Kremlin has reversed itself
completely and is clamoring now
that all of Mussolini's former over
seas possessions should be returned
to Italy without even the strings of
trusteeship.
The American Government, which
has an open mind on this matter,
sees in the reversal of Moscow's
policy nothing but an election trick
to help Communists at the April
election. If the Rome government
becomes a tool in the hands Of the
Communists, it will be immaterial
for Russia, which has title to these
strategically important colonies,
since they will be dominated by
Moscow anyway.
It is recalled that Russia, while
preparing for the Partisan move
ment in Greece, strongly urged the
return to that country of the Dode-
canese Islands, which had been
Italian until the end of the war.
The idea behind the Soviet stand
is that when the Greek monarchy
is overthrown and the Greek Parti-
sans take over the Athens govern
ment as Russian stooges, it will be
the Soviet Army and air force
which will, in fact, control the
Aegean Islands. which in turn con-
troll the Dardanelles.
The same reasoning is now at
tributed to Moscow in regard to the
Italian African colonies. The Krem-
lin feels certain that regardless OF
the outcome of the elections. Italy
will be behind the Iron Curtain
within a year. Russia's position In
the Eastern Mediterranean will be
considerably strengthened If the
southern shores are under the re-
gime of Moscow-dominated gov
ernment.

for the frauds they are. We have

If the old Roosevelt allies can bring

lutions and disputations, they groan:
"They are fighting the next war here
with the weapons of the last one"
It is not, of course, easy to deter
mine what anti-Wallace weapons
might prevail. 1t has been sug-
gested that front-page liberals who
believe, with Mrs. Roosevelt, that
"he is just fooling people" should
invade his meetings and challenge
him on his bright promises. Mrs.
Roosevelt herself could effectively
answer him in New York, Mr..
Reuther in his territory, and so on.
Doubt Ability In Debate.
The old political principle of ig-
noring your opponent is cited in
opposition. The question is raised
as to whether Wallace would re-
spond to an invitation for Lincoln
Douglas debates.
Proponents of the direct onslaught
believe firmly that Wallace would
not be too formidable in face-to-
face encounter. They recall that
when the Communists booed his
anti Russian statements in his
Madison Square Garden speech In
'46 he dropped out other similar
portions of it. They believe he lacks
the nerve and quick wit for gen.
uine encounter.
OF one thing they are sure: That
the people who are beginning to
follow wallace will not be suscepti-
BILE of cure by resolutions.

come the NAM of the medical pro-
fession, can be expected to lead the
screaming.
This being the case. the average
confused citizen will profit by
studying these calm statements In
the annual report:
Health insurance, in essence, is
merely a different method of pay
ing for medical care, but 1t has a
basic advantage over existing
methods of individual payment. It
enables families that are normally
self-supporting to pay for the med
ical care they need through small,
regular contributions to fund from
which payments are made to the
hospitals, doctors and others who
furnish services to those who need
them. BY removing the economic
barrier it can make medical care
accessible when and as 1t Is needed.
Feel Free to Seek Treatment.
with assurance that medical
bills will be paid, patients will be
freer to seek the care they need
and hospitals will be freer to make
use of the best that modern science
has to offer. Health insurance
would encourage the expansion Of
medical personnel and facilities In
areas now inadequately served be-
cause Of the cost barrier"
Health insurance. in these terms,
is not socialized medicine. Social
lied medicine Is public salaried
medical service. Health insurance
uses the exsting system Of COM
petitive practice. Under such
system the patient Is and should
be free to choose his doctor from
all who elect to participate in the
system and to change doctors If he
