Dear Friends:
Boy! it's good to be home and is
it good to be on the winning sidef
Last nights election certainly did
end on the bright side for us. All
our Air Force friends were behind
Ike so I know they are pleased to-
day, too. Hayes and would have
been ashamed to tell new service
friends we were from Delaware if
Senator Williams had not been
reelected. He is nationally known
for fighting against tax evasion
and If the Blue Hen State had not
chosen him it would have been a
pad reflection on our good state.
We have had such a nice time
since we've been home seeing ev-
eryone again. Before I tell you some
Of the things we have done. let me
first thank everyone who has told
my family, Hayes and me about
reading my weekly letters. It GER
tainly is nice to know they are read
by so many of our friends.
On Friday of last week HAYES and
! went to Newark Delaware. to Wis
II his old alma mater. We were
married in June 1916 and HAYES
didn't graduate from the University
OF Delaware until September of
that year. We lived off campus that
summer and I learned to lust love
that college town. / worked in the
Registrars Office at the University
and Mr.. Charles w. Bush was nv
wonderful boss. He is and was such
a wonderful man and I remember
the week 1 left I told him I was
moving to Milford sometime that
week. but would not tell him the
day because I couldn't bear to say
goodbye TO the girls in the Office
and nice old Mr.. Bush. We were un-
able to find him Friday. which
proved one of the disappointments
OF the day. Dick Draper and Ber-
nard Clements were two more
people we didn't get to see, but by
the end Of this week we will have
seen both of them. The hangout.
when we were at Delaware was the
Deluxe" and so naturally that's
where we decided to eat lunch.
George LaskaTis, the owner remem-
bered US and seemed interested in
what we had done since college
days. He was even nice enough to
treat us to lunch. Out on the street
again we ran into Mrs. Danny
Wood, who worked with me in Mr..
Bush's Office. Ellen is busy these
days with her two-year-old son and
Danny is busy writing his thesis
for his doctors degree.
Next we stopped in the Alumni
cttice to hunt up Delawareans in
Sacramento, California, and then
we walked over to Hayes fraternity
house Sigma M. We were so shock
ed when we reached for the door
handle and it was pulled open and
this very pleasant voice said, ''Wel-

FAR FROM DEAD

1t isn't enough to temporarily block so
clalsUc measures and then forget about
them, IN the happy hope that they're buried
forever For socialism need win lust once
TO become so firmly established as to be next
TO impossible to unseat. The cause of free
dom must win every time.
Inc socIallZed medicine issue is in point
II is OBVIOUS that the Administrations COM
pulsOry health insurance bill is in the dol
drums. Congress wants no part Of # the
republican Party has strongly opposed it.
and the Democratic Party officially ignored
IL when framing its campaign planks. Yet
lIS advocates have not given up the fight.
Ihey are bldlng their time, and in the in
term they are trying to whittle away at the
structure OF free medicine through a series
OF nttle-pubhciZed bills which would give
Federal bureaus a strong hand in directing
certain phases Of medical practice and educa-
ton. The plan to partially subsidize medical
schools with tax money is an excellent ex-
ample. Superticlally, it has an appeal-its
packers argue that there would be no strings
attached and that freedom of education
would be guaranteed But the fact remains
that those who do the paying always call
the tune-and that is dOubly true when a
group of politicians are involved
Every sampling of public opinion has
shown that the American people are over
whemingly against compulsory health insur-
ance, socialized medicine, or anything else
that would subject the doctor and the teacher
to the bureaucrat. But those who have tasted
the heady wine of political power have small
respect for the thinking of the people. They
are masters of camOufage and of devious
tactics. SOcialized medicine is far from dead
1t IS lying dormant for the mOment-and it
must be watched with clear, cold eye if it
is to be kept that way.

THERE'S STILL NO SUBSTITUTE
FOR VICTORY

A year ago last ArTii, General
Douglas Macarthur, summarily fir
ed by President Truman when he
had the enemy on the run and
wanted to bomb their Manchurian
bases and chase them back across
the Yalu said: "There is no substi-
tute for victory"
This month, after fifteen months
of truce talks" have utterly col

this year, the incident is newswor-
thy because, so far as we know, it
is the first of its kind o. which
suggests that de-emphasis of foot

colleges may be restoring the
game from a speculator's spectacle
to a sport.

tinued American losses, averaging
1000 month in dead, wounded and
captured; after Is months of en-
emy build-up in which Red strength
has been reported as more than
doubled, the enemy has resumed
his fanatical mass attacks. In the
first 29 days of October, enemy
dead, wounded and captured were
estimated at 32,8S5. Our own battle
casualties for last week were re-
ported at 1878, over 500 more than
the week before, and making a
total of 123,395.
And this week, all the top UN
commanders in Korea were report
ed as anxious to take the offensive.
but only General James A. Van
Fleet, commander of the US 8th
Army was willing to be quoted. He
said: I'VE need military victory.
We must defeat the Chinese armies
in the field. Korea is the key to
Asia. Beating them is the only way
to get back our prestige. We don't
have to go all the way to Yalu, but
we must be prepared to hit the
Manchurian air bases if we have
to-"
No, that's not Macarthur talking.
That's Van Fleet, the field comman-
der who took over from General
idgway when the latter was sent
in to replace the ousted Macarthur.
That's Van Fleet, who has been un-
der wraps for eighteen months, who
for fifteen months has watched the
enemy building up an Overpowering
force in his Manchurian sanctuary
across the Yalu.
And at the Pentagon in Wash
ingtOn, the signs of rebellion
against continued domination of
the military by the State Depart
ment are beginning to show. We
look for some new ground rules
perhaps before the new Command
er-in-Chief is sworn in.

NOTHING BUT THE BEST

We would like to report that cree
ton of the inaugural stand at the
East POrticO of the Capitol is pro-
crossing splendidly. The job was
only started so weeks in advance
Of the ceremony, and will cost
mere $99,700. 1t will be an exact
duplicate of the one they built last
time. To rent a knOck-dOwn stand,
erected from prefabricated mem

economical.

NO TAKERS

The latest scandal to rock the
National Capital involves no politi-
cos or mink coats or even a deep
freeze, but the alleged efforts of a
student of the University of Mary
land, just outside of Washington,
to fix football game.
The student, who was expelled
and arrested and is now out on bail,
is charged with having approached
three players unsuccessfully, offer
ing them from $1,000 to S1O0 to hold
the score against Louisiana State
University below a p point spread.
The bribe attempt, we understand,
so infuriated the players that they
ran up a score of "a to 6 against
LSU.
IN this case the players were
incorruptible, and the University

GIVE US TIME!

In 1913, after a sufficient number of
states had ratified the 18th amendment, a
seemingly innOcUOus law was passed by Con-
gress permitting levy on the income of in
dlvlduals and corporations. Count van Bern
stOrtf, then German Ambassador to the Uni
ted States, said: ''YOu have adopted an in
come tax. That is the beginning. You will
have more and more burdensOme taxes.
What amazes me is that your people seem
intent upon following our example, instead
OF developing the system provided by your
Constitution. Wait few years and see the
resultp'
Won BernstOrff may have been a Door
diplomat but he was good prophet. Begin
ming in 1914, with a very modest share of
the citizens earnings, this tax is now ex-
tracing from individuals alone more than
27 billion dollars per year or 45O dollars for
every working person in the country.
Taxation in the United States has pass
ed the point of oppression. About all that
can be said is that the tax forms of our In
ternal Revenue Department do not yet bear
the flourish Of a royal decree.
