PLAIN TALK
BY ALFRED SEGAL
FOR FATHER DONOVAN

I must speak to Father Victor
Donovan c. p. (Passionist father
at the monastery in Dunkirk. N.
" who. in an article in the
Catholic journal America 81
brings up our Channuka in rela-
ton to Christian theology.
He recalls that the Jews, on the
Channuka feast, came to Jesus
''E1e told them," says Father DON
ovan, "that his works proved him
to be the Christ and the Son of
God. In this way our Lord
brought out the spiritual mean
ing of Channuka."
Channuka. as the Jews know
it. according to Father Donovan
merely "is concerned with what
happened to a material building
Of stone the means the temple)
that once stood in Jerusalem 1854
years before Christ"
The Catholics, he. says, know
Channuka as a more spiritual ex-
preston 1.-THE day of our bap-
tism was our Channuka," he says
speaking for the Catholics, "our
souls dedication to the worship
of God, as well as its publication
from the defilement of an evil
spirit, Satan"
What Father Donovan appar-
emily means to say is that to the
Jews this Feast Of Lights means
only an occasion that celebrates
the publication and re-dedication
of the jerusalem temple after the
Maccabees had won it back from
the pagans. It seems. according to
Father Donovan. that we miss its
spiritual significance.
He had hope for us though. He
looks forward to a time when we
will light our Channuka candles
with complete understanding OF
what it's all about in its deeper
meaning Speed the day." he
says hopefully, ''in which the Jew
will light the Menorah that does
not fail His faith in Jesus
Christ, the Messias."
Yes. / must bring to Father
Donovan's mind the true illumi-
nation of the eight Channuks
lights. Channuka. as every Jew
joYously knows. has to do with
one Of the victories-the first
one. in fact-of religious liberty

Philip WilIkie Denies
Father Considered Plan

RUSHVILLE. Ind, April 80 (P).
Mr.. Wilkes son, Philip H.
Willkie, an Indiana State Repre-
sentative, denied last night that
his father ever considered such
plans.
Roosevelt wrote-my father in
the summer of 1914. asking him
to meet him and discuss foreign
policy and the peace situation, s."
Mr.. Willkie said.
MY father refused to meet with
the President and discuss anything
at all until after the election, for
fear that his action would be mis-
understood.
I'm fact, Roosevelt was angling
to get my father into a position
that would create the impression
he was supporting Roosevelt for a
fourth term.
"The statements Of Rosenman
are a great injustice to my
father. -.
HE indicates that my father
would sell out the Republican
Party and the two-party system.
This is all an unfair and unsports-
manlike effort to sell copies of a
book and magazine article. :"

By the Associated Press

Franklin D. Roosevelt anc
Wendell l.. Willkie wanted to form
a new political party uniting
liberal elements" in Democratic
and Republican ranks, but death
intervened and prevented them
from doing anything about it.
This new sidelight on the New
Deal era. with supporting letters
Is contained in an article in the
Ladies Home Journal by Samuel
I. Rosenman, a Roosevelt adviser
and speech-writer.
It Is published today as an alb
stract and Mr.. Rosenman's book
working with Roosevelt" soon to
be published by Harper and
Brothers.
Mr.. Rosenman said he believed
the new party crystallized in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's mind after his
failure to reorganize the Supreme
Court in 1887.
He also produced a message by
President Roosevelt to the 1910
Democratic National Convention,
which never was sent, declining
the third term nomination al
ready made. unless Henry Wal
lace was nominated Vice Presi-
dent. Conservatives were ready
to nominate Speaker William
Bankhead or Jesse Jones. Mr..
Roosevelt said he wouldn't run
with either of them or with "any
other reactionary."
Wallace Accepted.
The convention took Mr.. Wal
lace. after a bitter fight, and
President Roosevelt went through
with his acceptance speech.
In the election that year, Presi-
dent Roosevelt defeated MIR.
Willkie. a long time Democrat,
whom the Republicans had nomi-
mated for President.
Mr.. Rosenman recounts that,
four years later. President Roose-
welt, having heard that Mr.. Willkie
had broached the idea of a new
party to the late Clifford Pinchot,
suggested a conference with Mr..
Evening star., 1952-04-30
Roosevelt and WiIIkie Wanted
Liberal Party, Rosenmdn Says

Willkie in the summer of 1914 to
talk over the plan.
This was shortly after Mr..
Willkie had suffered a primary
defeat in Wisconsin and had aban-
Idoned an attempt to capture the
Republican presidential nomina-
Ition again.
Mr.. Roosevelt wanted to talk
with Mr.. Willkie before the 1914
election. But Mr.. Willkie. through
Mr.. Rosenman, the intermediary,
land in letter he never mailed,
but which the author reproduces,
suggested the talk be postponed
until after the election, lest it
appear he was trading.
Mr.. Willkie. at the time, was
under pressure to support Gov.
Dewey, who later won the Repub-
lican presidential nomination that
year.
Never Directly Discussed.
"The project was never even
discussed between them directly, I"
Mr.. Rosenman said. "By election
day Willkie was dead. Five months
after the election Roosevelt was
dead"
(Mr Willkie died on October
8. 1914. President Roosevelt's
death came on April IL, 1945.)
Mr.. Rosenman went on to say
that it was "a Herculean task
which these two political leaders
had thought of undertaking."
mo combination other than
Roosevelt and Willkie could have
done it," he said. Had Roosevelt
and Willkie lived. their political
alliance might have been so
firmly cemented by 1948 that a
great schism might have taken
place in that year."
The author, a former New York
Supreme Court justice. said it is
becoming more and more obvious
that the Dixiecrats intend to
carry on their sabotage of the lib
eral platform of Truman"
The need for a realignment of
political forces continues, he add
ed, but asked:
Even if Truman were willing,
where is there another Willkie? 2"
RoSenman quoted Mr.. Willkie,
the former Indiana boy, who
made good in Wall Street, as tell
ing him that both parties are
hybridS.
"You tell the President" Mr..
Willkie was quoted as saying.

FEDERATI0N'S 1852 LABOR
ESSAY CONTEST is
ATTRACTING INTEREST

The 1862 essay contest sponsored
by Montana State Federation of La
Dor is attracting considerable inter
est in a number of the cities Of the
state reports James S. TIMBER, fedora
ton president.
TIMBER during the past week spoke
to the student bodies of these high
schools in Butte, two in Anaconda
and two in Great Falls, on this years
contest, and found much interest in
the topic "Organized Labor's Con-
tribution to the Growth of American
Democracy"
Cascade Building Trades Council
and Flathead Trades & Labor Assemb-
ly have already started the ball roll
ing to get contest participants in the
high schools in their areas. Other
labor councils are also showing inter
est and it is anticipated that more
high school students will take part
this year than in any previous year.
In addition to local council prizes,
the federation will award three grand
prizes, 500, SIS, and $50, for the
three best essays entered.
Judges are Miss Violet Eastman,
Anaconda High School; Miss Mary
McNelis, Butte public schools, and
Paul Westerhouse of Cascade Build
ing Trades Council.

ing when the final decisions were
made on the Initiatives.
To the members of the committee
who had studied the problem for two
years, and had had their conclusions
confirmed by the Gutherie report,
there was no doubt as to how much
money is needed" to meet the exist
ing problems.
Interestingly enough few people
outside the committee seem to be in
doubt as to the "need" for this
amount of money being spent at
Warm Springs and Boulder.
Even the committee, however, could
not say how the people of Montana
will respond to the y mill levy that
must be assessed to meet that need.
There were those who felt that when
the citizens of the state We're in
formed of the existing problems they
would be willing to vote more money
to correct them.
But it was with the taxpayers in
mind that the S5,25O,OOO figure was
established.
The work involved in putting an
Initiative on the ballot is not to be
sneezed at. In the case of this Initia-
tive all the work is being done with
out benefit of compensa ton. In the
final analysis those doing the work
pray nightly that they will never be
in position to profit personally from
the results. Because of the work and
costs it would be the height of fool
ishness to go into this drive for any
thing less than the absolute minimum
needs in mind.

school reports a waiting list of 16(
as of February 1, 1852. The Initiative
asks for 800 beds. Barely enough to
meet existing needs with the con-
tinued use of the present dormitories
none of which are fireproof. The
Gutherie report recommended 315 to
meet existing needs.
The problem, in facts and figures,
on the mentally deficient child stack
up about So Two to three per cent
of the children being born and yet to
be born will be mentally deficient.
Eighty one per cent of all mentally
deficient children must stay in an in
stitution for life. Cold, hard, cruel
figures. Only the parent of such a
child can ever have the full realiza-
ton how cold, how hard, how cruel
they are. These children cannot be
cared for in the home. They are out
casts in the community, they suffer
untold agony in open competition with
the normal child. Parents in silent
torture cry out, What can l do for
this child?" Institutional care has
proven wise and good for these child
rem. Surrounded by world that de-
mands only what they are capable of
doing, they find happiness.
The State Hospital at Warm
Springs faces a far different prob
lem Mental illness cannot he flo
ured on a year to year percentage.
National figures do show that 526 of
all the hospital beds in the United
States are occupied by mental pa
tents. Mental illness increases in
times of national stress, decreases in
times of normality. The State Hos
pital at Warm Springs is the only
hospital in the state that cannot close
it's doors when all it's beds are filled.
Regardless of w h a arrangement
must be made to care for the patient,
he must be accepted when he is COM
mitted. The Initiative includes costs
for space for 225 more beds. The
Guthrie report recommended 1000 |
beds to meet existing needs.
