Guide
By Maj. Thomas N. Niol

Mrs. r. K. of Birmingham, Ala.
writes: MY boy friend served in
the Air Force during the war. He
helped bomb Germany and Italy
When is he going to get a bonus
from the State of Alabama?
When the rest of the boys do,
and that won't be before Alabama
passes bonus law. So far bonus
action in your State has been as
quiet as Indian summer. AS fal
as I know nothing is on the
schedule.
From Mrs. j. j. H., Hubbard
Ohio: When my husband was dis
charged from service he did not
mention the fact to the medical
board that he had frozen his
hands while in Alaska. They are
now giving him trouble. Is it
too late for him to apply for dis
ability compensation?"
No. It is never too late to ap-
ply for compensation for a serv-
ice connected disability. Have
him contact his nearest VA office.
From M. v. L., Grand Island.
Nebr.: Il read in the paper last
Sunday that the Government is
going to pay a bonus to all World
War II veterans. I can't remem-
ber what paper it was in. but I'm
almost sure that was what ! read.
What's the story?"
I don't know what story you
read. I'd say you misread 1t. be-
cause there Is absolutely no news
whatsoever on the bonus front.
You may have confused that with
the payment Of $4,000. 900. 900 in
dividends on National Service
Life insurance.
From Mrs. w. s. H., Washing
ton, D. c.. II have been told that
a person cannot draw civil service
retirement pay II he is getting
retirement pay from the Army or
Navy. If that is true why is my
Government pay check tagged by
a civil service retirement deduc-
ton each time?"
Hold your fire. The Civil Serv-
ice Commission says there is no
limitation at all on the amount
of civil service retirement pay q
retired serviceman may draw.

Cleanliness Advised
By Veterinarians

Cattle brucellosis or Bangs dis
ease will never be conquered while
animals are housed in uncleaned
buildings and farm yards. Ranch
ers have been successful in avoid
ing spread of the disease by main
tanning separate calving pastures
and rotating all pastures. Much of
the dissatisfaction with brucellosis
control can be avoided by better
management and Identification of
vaccinated animals.
Calf losses usually can be
stopped by veterinarians, but where
owners cannot maintain holding
pens and yards that are clean and
sanitary, their prescribed yaccines
and treatments may be of little
value; the sooner young calves can
be put to pasture on fresh grass,
the better.

DEFENSE PACT:
H:IIl "a,
Gilded Lily

There were puzzling things going
on in Washington as the proposed
north Atlantic security pact came
up for discussion.
AS any schoolboy knows, only con-
gress can declare war. Yet Senator
Vandenburg of the foreign affairs
committee was quoted as saying
that if any pact were drawn he ex-
pected such pact to reserve to
congress the complete right of de-
cision" on what to do about an
armed attack.
THAT STATEMENT of Vanden-
berg's amounted to nothing more
than thick coat of gilt on the lily.
The pact could do no less than ''re-
serve" such decision, because the
constitution of the United States is
quite clear as to what government
tai body in the United States has
the authority to declare war. The
constitution does not relegate that
power to senate committee or to
the state department.
The point is made only to high
light the trend of official thinking
in federal circles. Despite the con.
stitutional provision, Senator Van
denberg and apparently those who
draft the pact, are willing" to let
congress make any decision on 60
ing to war.
There were other puzzling factors
connected with the pact. Both Sen.
ator Vandenburg and Senator Con.
nally declared that signing the
pact would not commit this nation
to war in the event another pact
signatory were attacked.
IF THAT were the situation, the
critical queried, what would be the
use of the pact?
The senators had an answer for
that one-an answer reminiscent of
American thinking before Pearl
Harbor. They pointed out that, as
Vandenburg put it, ''in my opinion
the mere formal recognition of this
community of interest in the event
of an armed attack on the Atlantic
COMMUNICATIONS another word
in the treaty-would be an infinite
assurance against World War III"
What the senator was intimating
in effect was that with the United
States signatory to the pact, any
nation would be afraid to Jump
either on the U. S. or another mem
Der.
THE SENATOR'S MEMORY
seemed to be waning. Japan wasn't
afraid" to attack Pearl Harbor.
That was World War II. Germany
wasn't afraid to sink the Lusi-
tania. That was World War I. The
fear" bulwark hadn't done so well
on two occasions.
Did Senator Vandenburg have
some special information, or in
tuition, that it would work better to
prevent World War III?

CONTROLS:
Needed or Not?


The administration at Washington
has made its move for price and
wage controls.
It has asked congress to place
ceilings on prices which threaten
to go above last December's level.
It also has proposed creation of a
six-man board to regulate wage in
creaseS.
Already. however, it was becom-
ing increasingly clear to the people
that constantly shifting factors are
changing so swiftly that some of the
major points in the administra-
TONS legislative program may be-
come obsolete before they are
called for consideration.
FOR INSTANCE, the downward
trend In prices would indicate that
a proposal for price control, except
In some few isolated cases, might
even appear ridiculous. Consequent
~, continuing decline in prices
would naturally knock out any vail
dity of wage hike demands.
The sincerity of the administra-
ton is this respect might be open
to question, but not seriously so.
Practical politicians and people
who realize the need for application
Of politics in government proce-
dures will understand that whether
the government actually wants
what it asks is somewhat beside
the point.
The real point is that these meas
ures were pledged by President
Truman in his campaign, and it
was as early as Inauguration day
that administration leaders stated
publicly they meant to implement
campaign pledges in every way.
Now the administration is going
through the motions of seeking to
have adopted all the legislation the
President promised the voters when
he was a candidate for the office.
A QUICK RUNDOWN of the ad-
ministration's legislative-potential
will show that civil rights, tax in
creases. outright repeal Of the Taft
Hartley law and socialized medi-
cine, all admittedly needing some
treatment, are in for a rough time
In congress.
That being the case, it is diff
cult to understand how Mr.. Truman
and his advisers could make price
and wage controls stick should
there be no apparent need for
either.

About reaching 102 well, the
lady who did it, Mrs. Katherine
G. Lyon, said she was in favor of
exercise and fresh air.
Its all a matter of chewing
your food properly, and getting
plenty of fresh air. Anyone who is
102 years old and can't walk at

Mrs. Lyon did not stipulate that

TRENDS:
DictutoriuI

The gentleman who was talking
knew whereof he spoke. When he
began to express himself on dicta-
torships, the public might listen re-
spectfully for he had but lately con-
cluded an assignment to put down
one of the most vicious relationships
the world had ever seen.
But he wasn't talking OF foreign
relationships. Instead, he was warn
ing the Columbia college forum on
democracy that dictatorship was an
actual possibility right here in the
United States.
THE SPEAKER was Gen. Dwight
D. ''Ike" Eisenhower, who was SUI
preme commander of allied forces
in the war against the relationships
World War II.
Discussing the supposit;cn that
this nation was in danger of falling
into the hands of dictatorship with
out shot being fired, Eisenhower
said he was not talking about the
usual type of seizure of power by
force.
He was talking, he said, about a
gradual dictatorship of bureaucracy
which could result from the "con-
slant drift toward centralized gov
ernment."
There is kind of dictatorship"
he said, that can come about
through creeping paralysis of
thought and readiness to accept pa
ternalistic measures from the gov
ernment, along with surrender of
our own responsibilities and, there
fore, Of our control over our own
lives and our right to exercise our
vote.
''IF WE ALLOW this drift toward
centralized bureaucratic govern
ment to continue, finally it will be
expressed . in the actual field of
operation.
"There'n be swarming of bur-
eaucrats over the land, ownership
of property will gradually drift into
that central government, and final
ly you have to have dictatorship as
the only means of operating such
huge organization"
When a man of General Ike's stat
ure is publicly concerned over the
probability of dictatorship in the
U. S., benign or otherwise, it seems
it were time the public, too, should
begin to look into the situation.

PUBLIC HEALTH:
PhYsiciuns' Plan

There would be discussion of mo-
tive, of course, but whether ac-
tuated by the belief that socialized
medicine was an undesirable alter
native, or by a sincere desire to
widen their field of service, Amer
lca's physicians had come up with
q plan.
OBVIOUSLY. the plan was
counter move in the developing
battle over socialized medicine, and
in it one could see some concession
to the bureaucratic ambitions
which, it is claimed, motivates the
socialized medicine effort.
First, the doctors through their
American Medical associations
board Of trustees, urge creation of a
federal department of health, with
cabinet status, which would be
authorized to promote the general
welfare by aiding and fostering pro-
grams in the field of health. This
department also would contribute
to individual, family and commun-
ity well-being.
Briefly. the program would in
clude: ;,.a
-; PROMPT DEVELOPMENT of
diagnostic facilities; health centers
and local public health units; health
centers and hospital services; COM
prehensive health education pro-
grams; integration of veterans
medical care and disqualification
with other medical care and hos
pital programs; greater emphasis
on the program of industrial medi-
cine; and adequate support, with
funds free from political control, of
the medical, dental and nursing
schools and other institutions nec-
essary for the training of special
lied personnel required in the pro-
vision and distribution of medical
care.
II In it's scope. the doctors program
read like Mr.. Truman's bold new
program" for betterment of world
living. But its very generalities and
extent might be the factors to doom
1t. :: -
With immediate medical care the
greatest need of too many Ameri-
cans unable to. pay for it. the pana-
cea would have. to be immediate
and visual: Examined, even close
up, ,tne' d0ctor's plan; appeared to
offer little toward the solution of
the issue. Of socialized medicine.

MYSTERY:
Biggest Run

AS one southern reporter de.
scribed it, it was the biggest run in
the South's history"
One moment everything was all
right. The next, disaster had struck.
It happened in Jacksonville, Fla,
and there was no warning of its
coming. Women and girls arose in
the morning, donned attractive,
sheer nylon stockings and started
about their business.
Then, the nylons simply started
coming apart. Working girls went
bare-legged to lunch, carrying their
stockings-or what was left of them
lin their purses.
A horrible possibility failed to
materialize-the girls were spared
disintegration of their nylon under
wear; but there were many anxious
moments as they watched the nylon
stockings disintegrate on their legs.
The health department advanced
a theory that incompletely-burned
particles of SCOT carried a gas which
caused the stockings to come apart.
At Wilmington, Del, a technical
engineer for a nylon manufa cturer
said it's happened before in Wash
ington, Chicago, Nashville and Min
neapolis.
He explained that the trouble was
acid-bearing SCOT. These tiny par
ticles, he said, even from ordinary
coal fires, contain sulphur dioxide,
sulphur trioxide and other acids.
When they land on a coat or hat,
the concentrate may destroy a
thread, but you don't notice it.
But when they land on a stocking
thread-zip! And there's a story
to make the nations headlines.
