BEST COWBOY:
No Film Star

The small fry could below and
complain all they liked-the best
cowboy was not Gene Autry or
Roy Rogers.
Instead he is Gerald Roberts,
Phoenix, Ariz., who was top cow
boy-world's champion, to get tech
nical-for 1948. The Rodeo Cow
boys association announced Rob-
erts was the best all-'round cow
boy of the year. and they had the
records to prove it.
ROBERTS won top honors by
leading the 2,100 professional cow
boys who were scored in the asso-
ciation's system for SIS rodeos in
the u. S. and Canada.
The scoring system was based
on one of the most impressive fac
tors in any American competition
the dollar. One point was scored
for each dollar won in competition,
and Roberts ended the 1948 season
with winnings of $21, 1866 in cash
awards. There was no arguing with
that sort Of record.

MARSHALL:
HOtU Long?

The question Of who would be
President Truman's secretary of
state was concerning official Wash
ington and the diplomatic centers
of the world.
Ailing Gen. George c. Marshall
was ordered to rest, observe strict
dietary instructions. Evidence was
largely at hand that the President
was reluctant to trust the touchy
problems of international policy in
less experienced hands, yet the
chief problem persisted: Could
Marshall carry on effectively de-
spite his serious ailment-loss of a
kidney through operation?
THE PRESIDENT appeared
committed to policy of letting
Marshall stay on, or. rather,
keeping Marshall on the job de-
spite any desire of the latter to
give up his post.
A close associate of the Presi-
dent was quoted as saying the
chief executive was willing to wait
until Marshall recovered sufficient
ly to do a Alll-time job, even if
that should require months. Rob-
ert A. Lovett, said not to "gee" as
well with the President as Mar
shall did, would continue to act
for Marshall while the latter rest
ed
SOME OF THE Presidents
friends declared that if he should
finally decide that Marshall can't
carry the load, he probably would
like to have Chief Justice Fred
Vinson take over.
To do so would mean a great
personal sacrifice for the Kentuck-
ian, for his position on the court is
permanent, while an administra-
tion change might leave him out
in the cold-and Vinson Is no young
man. either.

MEDICINE:
u. s. on Pan

Plans for socialized medicine re-
ceived rough setback when the
Hoover committee reported it had
found waste and extravaganza"
in the present federal setup, which
it described as without "any CEN
trail plan"
FINDINGS of the committees
task force" of the Hoover COM
mission on organization Of the ex-
ecutive branch of the government
were sure to be hailed with de-
light by members of the American
Medical association battling
against enactment by congress of
a program of socialized medicine.
The investigating group, how
ever. made it plain in its report
that compulsory health insurance
was outside the scope Of its inquiry.
But, even so, its declaration that
governmental medical agencies
and its program were inadequate
and inefficient was certain to be
construed as whistling over two
strikes on the compulsory health
insurance adherentS.
THE FACT-FINDING group rec
commended a sweeping reorganiza-
ton of federal medical services,
and urged channeling Of federal
subsidies to the upbuilding of med
ical schools and community and
private hospitals, with minimum
of supervision by the government.
The report asserted the govern
ment is assuming uncalculated OBJ
legations without any understand
ing of their ultimate cost, the lack
of professional manpower to carry
them out, or their adverse effect
on the hospital system Of the
country.

FOR CHINA:
Watch and Wait

U. S. policy on China, for the
time being at least. appeared to
be one of watching and waiting,
coupled with a resounding diplo-
matte silence.
America had two good consid-
erations upon which to base that
policy:
1. THE UNITED STATES stood
convinced that nothing other than
direct Intervention in the military
situation in China would change the
course Of events. and that the gov
ernment is not prepared to inter-
vene to that extent.
g. There is, in the United States,
an inaccurate assumption that
American economic aid is a fool
proof solution to the difficulties Of
put into a given country as raw
materials are put into a machine,
would suddenly be processed into
an effective, finished product. Life
was not precisely like that-es-
pecially in China.
To all of which might be added
these two additional factors:
L.. The United States was caught
in this dilemma: If it issues
statement supporting the National
lists, as Nine. Chang Kai-shek
urged, it might merely associate
itself with the collapse of the pres
ent Chinese regime without pre-
venting that collapse.
2. On the other hand, if it ex-
plains why it is not granting
further aid to Chang, and pub
fishes what has happened to previ-
Gus aid. it might hasten Chiang's
collapse.
Hence, the attitude Of watchful
waiting.

Operation 'ToeffuI'

Sociology was looking up. The
Australian Legion of Ex-Service-
men and Women had taken up the
task of helping young veterans and
their wives with ''in-law' troubles.
They started scheme to enable
veterans forced by housing short
ages to live with parents-in-law
to exchange homes with others.
Spokesman for the legion said
many English marriages had been
saved from disaster by similar
scheme operating in Britain. They
found couples could live happier,
with strangers where they were
paying guests.

PROBERS:
Want More La1U

Probers looking officially into
the activity of foreign espionage
agents in the United States were
becoming irked. Too many wit.
nesses had fallen back on the con-
stitutional guarantee of immunity
to questioning by claiming the pos
sibility of Standardization.
The probe group would put an
end to that-they would provide
sitter penalties for contempt of
such groups.
REPRESENTATIVE MUNDT, of
South Dakota, and Nixon, Of Cali
fornia. Republicans, authors of the
proposal, did not specify just how
much sitter they would make the
penalty for persons convicted of
contempt of congress. They did
comment that offenders should
be severely and appropriately
punished.
Existing law provides a maxi
mum penalty of one years irnpris-
onment and a ST. 900 fine.
Among reforms" suggested for
probe group procedure was pro-
lection of the right of all witnesses
to counsel in both closed and open
session; right of the accused to
testify in open session; right of
the accused to submit questions.
The new congress was to be CIV

INDONESIA:
Dutch Stubborn

Stubbornness is a characteristic
trait of the Dutch-and' Holland
was running true to form. Despite
announcement by the United
States, from which she is receiving
Marshall plan aid, that the inva-
sion of Indonesia must stop, the
Dutch said, in effect. they'd think
the order over.
THE UNITED NATIONS was
concerned, but a Russian step to
the fore in demanding a cease
fire order and troop withdrawal in
"a hours did the Indonesians no
good. This time, the u. S. alb
stained from voting and the Rus
sian proposal lost.
However, the American position
was difficult Of understanding, and
the statement of American delegate
Philip Jessup did little to clarity it.
ST decline to be put in a false
position by other delegations" he
said. ''The record of the United
States on Indonesia is before the
world"
BUT ALSO BEFORE the world
was the issue of American prestige
and the integrity of the Marshall
plan. America stood for help for
Indonesia; America controlled the
powerful weapon of economic aid
to the Dutch. Yet, America, as yet,
had delivered no ultimatum to the
nation whose foray into Indonesia
was being helped by American
dollars. And the American dele
gate had declined to vote for a
cease-fire order in the Indonesian
fighting-joining Great Britain in
the vote declination.
Whatever else was true, and re-
gardless of motives, the assertion
of the Soviet Ukranian delegate
appeared to be true. He charged:
''Without United States financial
help, the Netherlands would have
been unable to wage war in In
donesia."

COLD WAR:
Someone firing

If Harry S. Truman were right,
then possibility Of war with Russia
was less than many Americans
imagined. In a surprise" state
ment during an unheralded ap-
pearance at a luncheon in Kansas
City, President Truman declared
bluntly that certain leaders" in
Russia "are exceedingly anxious
to reach an agreement with the
United States to end the cold war"
THEN THE PRESIDENT lashed
out with an accusation that the
Soviets have violated sacred"
agreements and said their govern
ment ''has system of morals
that are not, moral"
Deliberately or not, President
Truman was barring some closeted
secrets when he said during that
speech that the Russians had not
kept important agreements made
at Yalta and Potsdam. By that
statement, the President was con-
ceding charges Of long duration
that certain commitments were
made at these two parleys with
the Russians which were not gen.
orally known. and results of which
led to accusations that American
diplomacy had failed miserably in
negotiations with Russia's josef
Stain.
The Presidents position was far
from an earlier expansive state
ment that Stain was mice old
fellow"
HE DID NOT IDENTIFY the
Red leaders who prefer an under
standing"-as he put it-with the
United States, but he asserted
that there are Soviet top men who
have no desire for war. Neither
did the President say whether any
overtureS had been made by such
Russian leaders.
The President said frankly: II
made certain specific agreements
at Potsdam, none of which have
been kept. Certain agreements
were made at Yalta, none Of which
have been kept"
He reiterated that 'all the
United States wants is peace"

newspaper, THE Columbian" 5e
years ago included these items:
There was the story of bridge
being completed apparently the
structure we now know as the Red
bridge.
Engineer Klingberg expects TO
finish this week the work of plac-
ing new piers under the big bridge
across the F'lathead river at this
point. It is now as substantial a
structure as can be found within
the borders of Montana being so
strong as to defy the highest water.
"The new piers are placed on
piles driven s to 20-feet into the
solid earth The bridge is now
suitable for railroad as well as
highway purposes. 1t will be for
years to come the only bridge
across the Flathead, and no other
bridge will be built by private
capital. It stands a monument to
the enterprise of the promoters of
Columbia Falls"
Montana newspapers in 1898 al
ways had stories of violence en-
their front page. The Columbian
in this one issue had five murders
and suicides on its front page.
Here is one account: I'm sa-

cation took place between James
Smith ard w. A. Campbell, better
known as "Black" Campbell. Smith
fired twice at Campbell as the lat
ter was running from the room.
Campbell returned in a few min
utes with a Winchester and shot
Smith directly under the heart.

Experts Argue Tooth Decay
Course in Telephone Hookup

Via long distance telephone
Washington dentists last night
heard the pros and cons of the
most controversial subjects before
their professionalism to do about
tooth decay.
The discussion, carried out by
six national authorities, was heard
by about 110 members of the Dis
trict Dental Society. The program
was the first of six to be beamed
throughout the country by tele-
phone. under postgraduate
course of the University of Illinois
College of Dentistry.
DR.. Basil G. Bibby. professor OF
dentistry at the University OF
Rochester, urged that people eat
less candy and other foods to re-
duce dental decay. But If they
won't cut down the amount of Su-
gar, he said, the best thing is to
eat it in as few sittings as pos
sible.

Dr. Bibby'S advise was cited as
a control measure in a contro-
versial discussion of Recent De-
velopments in Carries dental de-
cay) Control.
But. mostly, the speakers argued
over the basic problem in decay
control what causes decay in the
first place.
DR.. Bibby described a widely
accepted view that cavities are
caused by acids, formed by the
action of bacteria on food par
ticles, especially sugar, on the
teeth. Since such acids disappear
in about half an hour, he said,
the most practical attack is to
eat only at regular meals.
Those people who do much in
between meal eating" he declared,
"as a rule have the most dental
decay"
DR.. Philip Jay, professor of
dentistry at the University of
Michigan, supported this position.
In strong opposition. DR.. Harold
B. Younger, associate in dental
research at Baylor University,
contended cavities are caused by
bacteria which reach the inside
of teeth, rather than any action
on the outside.
