Democrats Plan
Personal Touch
For Iowa Drive

DES MONIES, Iowa. Dec.
26 (AP).-Iowa Democrats plan
to adopt the personal touch"
in conducting their 1860 cam

By doing so, State Chairman
Donald Norberg said today, the
party hopes to accomplish a
double result - enlist more
workers and get out the vote.
The Democrats in a recent
special election in the 4th Dis
trict lost a congressional seat
to the Republicans, whose lead
erS claimed it was an indication
of an upsurge in G. o. P.
strength in the Midwest.
Mr.. Norberg credited the
G. o. P. with IAN awfully good
job in organizing their people
for the election. John Kyl
Bloomfield, defeated C. Edwin
Gilmour, Grinnell. by 2.517
votes.
The defeat was blamed in
part by Democrats on failure
to get out the party's voting
potential within the district.

must "help people become bet

NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (AP).-
Police are searching for the
70-year-old son of q European
nobleman who came to this
country about five months ago.
He is Budapest-born Mai.
Geza Esterhazy, a son of Count
Charles Esterhazy of the Aus
tro-Hungarian court and Of the
former Lady Hamilton Char

Maj. EsterhaZy's disappear
ance was reported last night
by his daughter, Elvira Ester

Her father had taken a job
the first of this month as care
taker on the Sea Owl, a re-
search ship owned by New
York University. The vessel is
berthed at an East River pier
and Maj. Esterhazy slept
aboard ship.
Last Tuesday he said he wa.
going to visit his daughter. He
never showed up. The next
day he failed to appear on duty
on the Sea Owl and university
authorities notified the daugh-
ter.
Police said there was no evi.
dence of foul play either aboard
the ship or on the pier.

ton estimated, however, that
the passenger deficit for 1859
will be smaller than the $610
million loss of 1858, largely due
to curtailment of passenger
service.
Net Income SlumpS
The railroads gross operat-
ing revenues of $9.9 billion in
1859 were 3 per cent above 1858
but the association said that
because Of higher taxes and op-
Grating expenses. net income,
representing earnings. is esti-
mated at $500 million dollars,
slightly under 1858 and nearly
20 per cent under 1857.
The average return on net
investment at 28 per cent was
about the same as last year and
we'll below the postwar average
Of 3.5 percent, the association
said.
Tax payments this year were
estimated at about 81 billion
or 500 million above 1858. The
association said the increase
largely resulted from congress
sional acts increasing railroad
contributions to the railroad
welfare fund, beginning last
June !.

In it's look back over the cur
rent year the carriers Or
ganization noted that freight
business had a marked upturn
during the first six months,
but said volume for the full
year will probably average only
about 2l2 per cent above 1858
and 13 per cent below the more
normal 1857 year.
Steel Strike Cuts Traffic
The freight volume in the
first half Of this year was l3
per cent above the correspond
ing period in 1858, but the steel
strike which started in mid
July reversed the trend. The
association estimated the strike
resulted in a direct loss of about
2.5 million carloads of freight
and more than $500 million in
railroad revenue.
The one major gain in rail
traffic in 1859 was in the piggy

Most sensitive persons
felt. at Christmastime, at
least briefly, the presence of
a sense of guilt. The essence
of the teaching of the Naz-
arene whose birthday it was
is to care for the sick and
needy. And every person who
put his mind to it knew that
on Christmas Day. despite
the energetic organizations
devoted to relieving need,
there were those in every
community who were sick
and unvisited, in need and
not relieved.
And, in the main, those
who went unaided and who
knew the bitterness of spirit
in facing children without
Christmas were those too
proud to ask for help.
Who were most of these?
The answer may surprise.
There is one new statistic
in the records Of welfare
workers. For some time now
there has been a growing
number of needy persons in
the rural communities about
the edges of cities and towns.
We like to think there is no
peasant group in America.
But there is. It is small. 1t
totals perhaps 10 million
persons. And it, in a sense,
is the saddest to see because
it is a bewi.dered group,
hurt and nursing a sense Of
injustice which is the greater
because they cannot under
stand it.

A suggestion was made
facetioAsly at a recent social
gathering attended by a
number of officers who have
served at various times in
Korea that the following ad-
vertisement be placed in a
number of newspapers in this
country. 1t would run some
thing like this: Wanted
Objective American reporters
to cover the elections to be
held next spring throughout
the Republic of Korea" This
observation was the result Of
some argum ents as to
whether President Syngman
Rhee, who once more is a
candidate for the high office
he now holds, could be re-
elected without what so many
superficial observers on Ko-
rean affairs describe as
"strong-arm methods"
Left-wing biologists in
this country as we'll as some
OF their well-meaning dupes
are spreading stories that
the South Korean Republic
is fast becoming "a police
state where the rights of in
dividuals as we'll as those of
the press are being suppressed
by the Rhee regime" Those
who have spent some time in
Korea close to the Korean
people. as have so many
American servicemen, dis
agree strongly with this con-
tention.
Inere is complete freedom
in that country except for
the would-be traitors and
agents of the Communists
who are inf1ltrating easily
from Com munist Korea,
across the line Of the 38th
Parallel. Because Korea con-
tinues to be at war with the
Communists Cit has never
signed the armistice), strong
security measures are es-
sential. This results in many
arrests of the suspects as
well as the use Of strong
measures against the sub

Assembly that the State ac-
tually is providing less real help
than it did when the program
was launched in 1916.
The 100000 appropriation
in that year paid for 98.36l
patient days. Because Of the
steadily rising cost Of hospi-
tallzation the $957,O00 appro-
priation for ly57-58 provided
only 1882 patient days.
The Council said the States
growing population also in
creased the need for funds.
Most hospitals lose money on
INDECENT patients, said the
Council, with the result the
losses must be made up either
by private, paying patients
through higher charges, or by
the community and State pay
ing all or part of the costs.
The Council reasoned the
fairer concept is that the in
digent patient "is properly a
ward of the community as a
whole and should be supported
through public appropriations
adequate to this need"
Three Recommendations
1t seems feasible, the Coun-
Gil said, to urge the localities
to establish additional nursing
homes on either a local or
regional basis" since public as
sistance funds may be used for
nursing home care Of the in
digent. 1t added Hill-Burton
funds are available to assist
in the construction of nursing
homes and hospitals for the
chronically i'll.
The VALC recommended:
l. Adoption of uniform ELI
gibility standards and their ad-
ministration by the State
Board of Welfare and Institu-
tions so that the same rules
apply in all localities.
2. Adequate facilities should
be made available for the use
of the chronically i'll, long stay
rehabilitation cases and the
aging.
3. Hospitals be paid, insofar
as practical, the actual costs,
excluding depreciation, of pro.
viding hospital services to in
digent and medically INDECENT
patients.

Although DR.. Turkel said
his drug-and-diet regimen had

some questions considered per-

This characteristic and an ex-

Nobody can say at this
time whether the liberal

Rhee will obtain the majority
in the next election, but what
seems to be IN no doubt is
that President Rhee will be

of the fortunes of his own

Most Americans have for
gotten that Syngman Rhee
was President of Korea long
before that country was
established as a sovereign
state by the United Nations
and before it was divided by
the agreements among the
Big Three at Yalta. A Korean
provisional government in
exile was formed as far back
as 1919 after the Korean
people rebelled against the
harsh Japanese rule. The
rebellion was suppressed with
unusual harshness. Thousands
Of unarmed patriots were
mercilessly shot down by
the japanese military police.
Syngman Rhee, who had es-
capped from a japanese prison
a few years earlier, was in
the United States. He was
proclaimed president Of the
provisional government which
had its seat in Shanghai.
AS such, he attempted to
gain recognition for his coun-
try from the victorious ma
tions. But he could not get
a permit to go to Paris and
