7lH1III IGL1AI
BY Charles L. Egenroad

WASHINGTON, D. c. - During
the special session of Congress
which Candidate Truman called in
great haste and fury during a DO
litical convention, much Democrat
time was spent in thinking up song
titles which would be fitting for
purposes Of needing the Republi-
cans.
After sitting on the Sidelines lis
tening we don't have to spend any
time thinking up a theme song for
the Truman administration. The
New Dealers have been singing it
for 16 years-and that is: Don't
Blame Me-"
This was their ditty during the
depression when their high-falutin
spending program failed to buy
prosperity. They cOuldnta blame the
failure on Republicans so they
blamed it on the little pigs and
killed them.
Then came the war, They blamed
it on the Japs.
When somebody wanted to know
who was to be blamed for the neg
ligence at Pearl Harbor, they sang
out loud and long: This is no time
to blame anybody"
During the successful operation
of the war and the secret CARVINGS
on of Roosevelt, Churchill and Sta
in, the New Dealers smiIingly sang:
Blame us tor this great victory"
Then the bOasting New Dealers
ran smack-dab into the big bad
Soviet Bear and the tune immedi-
ately changed to the old familiar
Don't Blame Me-"
Again they cried: This is no
time to blame anybody Let's put un
united front"
The only way united front could
ind to bail Mr.. Truman out of his
POtsdam potash was to call upOn Il
share of the American standard Of
living for our European friends.
This, coupled with the Tugwell
hangover in the Agriculture De-
partment created an infationary
spiral that scared the daylights out
of the Truman terriers who again
marked: Don't Blame Me-"
In the closing hours of debate in
The Senate on Saturday night, Au-
gust Z, two One-time bOastful New
Dealers, Senators Myers and Hatch.
again cried: Let's Not Blame Any
body"
Senator Myers said:
MIR. President, it is not my in
tentiOn to go back to 1916 and at
tempt to lay the blame or endeavor
to determine who may have de-
strOyed or killed OPA."
That was the year Mr.. Truman
decOntrOlled practically all of OPA.
Senator Hatch said:
Il pleaded with Congress to get
together through the policy com
mittees-that was the only thing [
could think Of-and devise a non
partisan program"
No such plea was made when the
New Deal was riding high, wide and
handsome to the biggest national
debt in the world. 1t was not made
when YaltO, Teheran, Carlo and
and POtsdam secrets were being
formulated.
Don't Blame Me" is our choice
for the New Deal swan song title.

LAST SATURDAYS HAVEN LAKE ACCIDENT

LAST SATURDAYS HAVEN LAKE ACCIDENT
AS was to be expected, we have been
sWamped with requests to criticise the State
Highway Department for failure to install
safety lights at the Haven Lake Crossing
following the crash last Saturday afternoon.
We have made careful investigation of this
accident and, in this instance, are convinced
that the presence of such lights would not
have prevented the crash. This was purely.
a question Of poor judgment on the part Of
one driver who turned directly in front of
an On-cOming car whose driver had little
opportunity to avoid the smash.
1t is strange how different witnesses to
an accident react in their account of the
event. In this particular accident, the Occu-
pants of both cars were in substantial agree
ment that both cars were on Route 113, one
proceeding south the other north. But two
employees of the Shore Gas company, who
witnessed the accident, stated emphatically
that the truck involved was heading west
on Route IA and failed to stop. The State
police, we believe, have the correct report in
this instance. At least that was the cOncen-
sus of opinion from those who were active
participants in the destructive crash.

THOSE REQUESTS For POLITICAL PUBLICITY
AS the political campaign gets under way
we are being flooded with propaganda ar
ticles from all sOurces-sOurces with an axe
to grind, and with the support of some clique
or group as the main benefCiaries. In order
that our position in this campaign may be
made perfectly clear to all of these groups
we are herewith stating our position so far
as these free releases are concerned. The
Chronicle is a Republican newspaper. We
plan TO support the Republican nOninees~foF
county, state and national Office. We shall
present our reasons for supporting these
men as the campaign progresses. These
reasons will appear in the editorial columns
of this newspaper. They will be our opinions
and ours alone. Our news columns will be
open to all parties on an equal footing. We
shall carry factual reported articles from
all camps in the political fight Propaganda,
through the news columns is Out-cOmplete-
ly out. - Our advertising columns are open at
all times to any political party or any indi-
vidual candidate-sO long as they, or he, re-
frain from personal SANDER or attack against
their opponents. This we will not tolerate.
If you have real factual news concerning the
campaign, we will be glad and willing to use
it. But we have no intention of publishing
lOng-drawn-Out political OratOry in the form
of speeches made by any individual. This
statement of intent is published now so that
those wasting our time and theirs with the
free political grabs may know that such
matter is headed for the waste basket We
know live news from that which is prOpa-
ganda-designed. We burn thousands of
such releases each year, and shall continue
to follow this policy.

rectiOns made of any defects found

way they will be able to start their

as well as advice concerning pos
ture and nutrition, says the State
Board of Health. If child has any
physical defects, it is we'll to have
such conditions corrected before
the child enters school. This will
nOtiCeably decrease loss of school
time due to colds and sore thrOats.
Vision and hearing should also
be tested so that the child needing
glasses may obtain them before
school starts, and the corrections
or improvements can be made be-
fore he begins to read. Hearing de-
feCts can also be improved. or

Dental cavities are high on the
list of defects found among chill
dren entering school for the first
time. Health officials stress that
it is important that these cavities
be filled in order that the child may
be able to keep his teeth until the
second ones are ready to come
through. Baby teeth, lost early be-
cause of cavities, may mean that
jaws will change in shape so that
the permanent teeth do not come
in as evenly as they should. 1t is
a matter both of better personal
appearance for the child and of bet
ter chewing surfaces if the teeth
are regularity spaced The baby
teeth hold the spaces open for the
/ second teeth.
ImmuniZatiOns and vaccination
are other important procedures to
be carried out in getting a child
ready for school. Even if a child
has been treated when he was an

diseases as whOOping cough, diph-
iberia, tetanus and smallpox, it is
wise to make sure that he is still
protected against these diseases
before he enters school where the
chances of exposure are greater.
A booster dose of diphtheria tox-
old should be given to increase his
immunity, and a small pOx vacci-
nation repeated if four or more
years have elapsed since the last
successful vaccination.
During the youngsters stay in the
first four grades, the State Board
of Health suggests that the child
have at least two thorough health
check-ups, with yearly inspections
of sight and hearing, and dental ex-
aminatiOns every six months.

Polio CASES IN MILFORD

Milford over the last weekend calls for addi-

WHAT'S A BUREAUCRAT?

Senator Barkley described a 'bureaucrat"
as a person holding a Government job under
the Democratic party whom the Republicans
believe should be removed from office so that
a Republican might get his job.
Senator Byrd of Virginia believes that
many 'bureaucrats" should be fired and not
replaced by Republicans. He says that the
Federal Government should discharge $780,
600 civilian workers, or out of every 10 on
its payroll.
And Byrd was right when he said that
this dismissal of Government workers could
be done without reducing Government eff
cheney, and would mean a saving of $2,OOO,-
100000 year.
Senator Byrd thinks a good deal more of
his country than he does of political "bu-
reaucrats'', regardless of whether they are
Democrats or Republicans. That's real Dem
OCracy.

battle against polio in Delaware are making
a mistake when they fail to make public the
names of any victims and the location of
their homes. While little apparently is
known about the cause of the affictiOn it is
our firm judgment that nothing is to be
gained by cOncealing its presence in any To-
cality
There is little question but that the out
break In Delaware last year was OWer-played
by those in charge. So great was the unfa-
vOrable reaction that the clOse-mouthed pol
icy for this year was a direct result We
know Of Milford residents who were greatly
concerned recently when the death of Miss
Potter in Wilmington, a polio victim, was
announced. Local young women had been
with her shortly before she entered the hos
pital with the affiiction. When her death
was made public they were petrifed with
fear because they had not known of her ill
ness, with the warning which might have at
least given them an opportunity to seek
medical advice Remember this, we are not
in the midst of an epidemic. We should act
normally and watch our youngsters closely.
We should insist on full publicity on the part
of the health authorities and the members
of the medical profession. And we should
see that all places harbOring flies and mo-
squitOes are cleaned up Immediately.

MILFORD's SCHOOL SUPERiNTENDENT

Milford needs a Superintendent of
Schools - and needs him now. The man
chosen for the job has notified the Milford
Board of Education that he will not accept
the position. This raises a question, COntrO-
versial we know, but nevertheless one that
reasonable men and women should be able
to face. Former Superintendent of Milford
Schools Robert E. Schilling still resides in
Milford. He is available for the position.
He is capable, knows Milford and it's school
requirements, and is a Delawarean. Regard
less of the personalities which were injected
into the local Board of EducatiOnS actions
at the time Mr.. Schilling severed his cOnnec-
tiOns with the local schools, reasonable men
and women should face the problem of pro-
Viding proper school facilities in our city. 1t
is water over the dam and certainly should
not be allowed to interfere with our schools
that men elected to the Board of Education
Immediately following the passage of the
law providing for elective boards, were "Out
to get Schilling." Whether they were or
not, that aim was accomplished. Some of
the members elected at that time are still
members of the Board The majority are
new members and were not connected with
the old fight
This late in the year, it is reasonable to
assume that men available for the superin-
tendency are not the best to be had. The
best have been employed. With this situa-
tiOn confronting the Milford board why can't
these men and woman sit down, and free
from bias OF influence from their wives or
others who may be against Mr.. Schilling,
give his availability the unbiased cOnsidera-
tiOn that it deserves. His long service to
Milford and Delaware schools certainly have
gained for him this consideration. The local
Board of Education can look further and fare
poorer than by reappointing Schilling to the
job which he knows how to fill and which
Milford needs filling-nOw.

Life in the polo grounds is just a series of nightmares for Manager Eddie Dyer of the St. Louis Cards, AS far as he's concerned they can bring back polo any day.
 All last year his favored Red Birds fluttered and played dead when they hit New York.
 Dyer's latest experience was enough to try the patience of saint. His league-leaders were rolling along last night behind a nice 7-2 lead with Howie Pollet, the unbeat- en star of both leagues doing fine pitching.
 Then the Giants started to break out of their hitting slump. Before the eighth inning was over, eight runs had crossed the plate and the 7-2 lead had. changed to l07 de- 1icit
 Shortly before midnight the Dod- gers again plunged into the cellar as the result of their Al loss to Chicago and Cincinnatis 8-5 Tin over Boston.

 Preseason speculation which singled out the San Francisco Seals to win the Pacific Coast baseball league championship looks better all the time.
 The Seals, currently enjoying a comfortable seven-game lead in the pennant race, downed the defend ing champion Los Angeles An gels for a second time in their im- portant nine-game series last night. 60.
 Meanwhile, the second-place Se- attle Rainiers strengthened their position by tripping Portland, 9-7 to notch their fifth straight win.
 The Rainiers were forced to stave off three-run last inning drive to win the free-swinging contest in which Portland outhit Seattle, 16- H. However, Seattle made every hit figure in the scoring.
 Ed Mierkowicz drove in three runs and got two doubles and a single in four trips.
 Dick Barrett was credited with his seventh win although he gave way in the sixth to Marius Russo.
 Ken Holccmbe and Bill Wietel- mann teamed to give Sacramento a Al victory over San Diego.
 The Hollywood Stars outlasted the Oakland Oaks in a slugfest in which each club used four mounds men. The Stars won 9-7 after com ing from behind twice.
