Portisons and NeutroIs in Great Debate

from regulations and controls.
The Pepper Bill introduced
after the war, which seemed
to be a threat to continue
some of the features Of the
EMIC program. was defeated
by Congress even though O
Democratic President was in
the White House.
On the other hand we have
had experience with another
type Of legislation which en-
courages CO operation in
medical care for children.
This has been the maternal
and child health and crippled
children's programs of the
U. S. Children's Bureau. These
have been grants in aid to
the State and local govern
ments which have won CO.
operation from all the many
agencies who should coop
crate with physicians to meet
human needs. Public Law So
778 Title VI. medical services
for the aged, passed in the
short session of Congress this
summer, has such similarity
to the very successful method
Of serving children that 1t
should work equally well for
the aged. In fact such great
advances as we have seen in
child care may be expected
for the aged as soon as this
cooperative plan can get
under way.

AS the Democrats cam
paign across the country dis
cussing their plans for un-
limited defense spending.
Federally supported schools,
housing, medicine, taxes, ETC..
it becomes evident that this
Nation may be in for @ new
era after the election. We
have experienced the New
Deal and the Fair Deal; I
submit a fitting title for this
new program as outlined by
Mr.. Kennedy: The big Deal. "
Expectant Taxpayer.
Senator Kennedy has given
the more factual answers to
the various questions pre-
Sented to him, and his state
ments have been concise and
definitely related to the sub
ject matter under debate.
Mr.. Nixon has appeared un-
certain at times, and seemed
to wander far afield from the
subject matter at hand. Con-
trary to Senator Kennedy's
presentation Of the facts, Mr..
Nixon appears to vacillate,
and. when hard-pressed, usu-
ally refers to President Eisen-
hover and his beliefs. One
would think that President
Eisenhower was running for
reelection, so often does Mr..
Nixon endeavor to utilize his
name when asked for an
opinion.
Independent Voter.
=
Many Americans of voting
age will not cast a ballot
NOVCLlUcE ..
These will by no means be
the "apathetic voters" nor
the "smug and complacent"
ones.
The non-voting contingent
in 1860, as in several past
elections. will be the dis
franchiSed conservatives and
others who disagree with the
entire concept of cradle-to-
grave largess for the hordes
OF Asia and Africa at the
cost of American solvency.
There will be those who have
no stomach for q choice be-
tween two brands of domestic
socialism, togetherness, blood
mixing and other disgust
ing facets of both party plat
forms.

The Democrats have an
outstanding opportunity to
help to educate the public
on the operations of the no
torious China Lobby" which
has MIXED this Nation OF
billions (through the de-
cades) for the benefit OF
one Chinese warlord, Chi
ang Kai-shek, whose family
and friends have become
enormously wealthy through
United. States largesS.. MY
interest is that of a simple,
single taxpayer who has to
pay to keep up a Chinese
warlord against my wishes.
have made it a point to in
vestigate the "China Lobby
for some Is years, with the
view Of writing about it and
striving to understand some
of the queer cross-currents
