45 South at the City Limits to downtown Jackson is not intended as a by-pass or to relieve the traffic situation in down- town Jackson. It will be recalled that the Highway Department was called on some two years ago to suggest some means of relieving the heavy congestion of traffic on U.S. 45 South from the City Limits to the junction of Tennessee 18. After a survey and study of the situation the Highway Department concluded that most of the congested traffic was a back-up from and was caused by the bottle-neck situation inside the City Limits, this bottle-neck being created by the narrowness of heavily-used South Royal and the necessity of slowing down, if not fully stopping, at the NC and St. RR grade crossing.

The Highway Department further concluded that the situation could best be relieved by splitting the traffic at the City Limits, allowing those who wish to come oh in South Royal as usual, includ- ing truck drivers accustomed to by-passing downtown Jackson via Allen or Forrest, and providing a 4-lane approach with an over-pass crossing at the NC and St. RR for those who have business in downtown Jackson. Traffic counts show that 70 to 80 percent of traffic entering Jackson from U. S. 45 South stops in downtown Jackson rather than continue through immediately.

The. proposed 4-lane approach will be a convenience to these people. It will relieve the present traffic congestion for those who want to stay on S. Royal, and it will make for all a safer, more pleasant approach to Jackson on U. S.

45 South. Steel Beyond the Strike. With the steel strike settled and the giant mills getting back into operation, is seen that industrial production, including all of that which depends upon steel, will gradually return to normalcy. Some industrial plants which use steel and steel, products extensively may remain closed for some time or until they can get hew supplies. As to what faces steel beyond the strike, one commentator has this to say: "For a balanced appraisal of the possible impact of the steel strike, it is worthwhile to recall the outlook for the steel industry before the strike.

At that time the extended period of steel shortages was a approaching its end. Steel inventories were rapidly coming into balance. Some items, such as chrome stainless steel, were actually in oversupply." The era of conversion deals was. over, premium prices had all but disappeared, and a lifting of Government controls seemed a matter of weeks. Steel capacity was increasing by about a million tons per month.

Most industry leaders ex- pected the operating rate during the fourth quarter of the year to go down, and plans for the retiring of overage capacity were put in readiness. "Seven weeks of strike have changed this situation radically. Steel shortages-in many, lines are acute. Customer inventories are badly out of, balance. Conversion deals have reappeared and will probably continue during the second half of the Decontrol is postponed for many months.

Fifteen to twenty million tons of steel production have been lost and further losses are threatening should it prove impossible to make up the 10 million tons of iron ore which should have been added to the winter stockpile during the strike One of the big surprises on your birthday morn is opening a package and discovering it isn't what you knew it would be. i Telephone 7-333S All Departments Older Workers Get A Fine Report Card. How do older workers stack up as employes? Researchers at Ohio State University have given the 60-plus group a good report card after a careful survey. A smaller percentage of older workers had to be fired. A smaller percentage quit for better jobs, because of dissatisfaction, for family reasons, or.

for moves to another city. A larger share left for health or physical reasons. A check on foremen's ratings' at time of leaving showed that the 61-or-over group had a larger proportion of departing workers rated "worthy of rehire than any other age class. Voluntary Health Insurance. According to an American Medical Association report, American hospital 'A REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS A CHALLENGE To the Editor: Like millions of other inconspicuous though anxious Americans, I have followed the conduct of both major political parties in their endeavor, to select a presidential candidate who, according to their respcective Judgments, is capable of steering the sturdy Ship of State through four more unpredictable years of whatever calm or storm may prevail.

I firmly believe that within each great party there are many far-sighted, conscientious men and women of fine moral stature, loyal to the humanitarian principles set forth in the Bill of Rights, any one of whom might safely be chosen. With an open mind and. vivid memory, I have listened to often-distorted charges launched by top-Republican speakers against the present administration. Records of the past two decades do not substantiate more than a minor fraction of such charges. I have with like open-mindedness listened to the.

eloquent oratory emanating from the Democratic convention, and I am not convinced of the utter depravity of the Republican Party. The defectible human quantity, though commendable in many aspects, is still in the laborious process of development and has yet Down By DREW WASHINGTON. Already the scramble has started to get closest to the Stevenson throne. Taft Republicans, on the whole, are more dignified. They have not rushed to snuggle up to Eisenhower.

But some of the Democrats who were working their heads off to defeat Adlai Stevenson at Chicago are now in a frantic frenzy to get on the band-- wagon. Franklin Roo sevelt had an interesting way of dividing up his friends. He called them friends and friends referring of course to whether they AT" PEARSON "after" Chicago. Probably the stancnesi Chicago" friend Stevenson had in Washington is Assistant Postmaster General Osborne Pearson (no relation of this columnist) who got into considerable hot water with certain Trumanites for boosting Stevenson. As early as last April, Pearson began predicting Stevenson.

On May 23, speaking at San Jose, he made this amazing prediction, as quoted in the San Jose Mercury: 'It will not "be Stevenson on the first ballot Two other candidates, Senator Russell and Senator Kefauver, wiU have to neutralize the situation. That done, Governor Stevensn will be drafted and will accept" Shortly after coming out for Stevenson, Pearson was called in by his chief, Postmaster General Donaldson. "What do you mean-by making these Stevenson statements?" the Postmaster General asked. The White House is sore about it Was White House Sore? "I thought the President was for Stevenson," Pearson replied. Later he found that it was not the President but one of his aides who pretended to speak for him who was irked Matt Connelly.

Connelly, who has long been maneuvering to keep his job, phoned; Pearson, asked why he was beating the bushes for the Illinois governor. Pearson replied that, since the President wasn't going to run, the Democratic party had to get busy and pick a good man. "But" replied Connelly, "I think if we work it right, we can get him to change his mind." The Assistant Postmaster General, howeve. kept on plugging his man, made speeches aU over the country, and continued the battle on the floor of the Chicago At one time he was almost thrown bodily out of the Califrnia delegation his home state for trying to switch its delegates to Stevenson. While Donald Dawson of the White House staff and Chairman Frank McKin-ney were plugging for Berkley, Pearson battled for the man he had picked months before.

It will be interesting to see how Stevenson handles his "B.C. friends; also how he handles his "after" Chicago friends. Quotes of the Month Here are the two most Interesting quotes of the month. One was given by Governor Stevenson during his acceptance speech at Chicago; the other was released by the State Department as part of its historical documents. It quotes Cordell Hull's Instructions to the American ambassador in Paris in case Hitler rearmed.

The quote from Governor Stevensonprobably the greatest highlight of his great speech follows: "And more Important than winning the' election is governing the nation. That is the test of a political party the acid, final test When the tumult and the shouting die, when the bands are gone and the lights are dimmed, there is the stark reality of responsibility in an hour of history haunted by those gaunt, grim specters of strife, dissension, and) materialism, at Today's BY GEORGE Socialized Medicine by Treaty At the meeting of the international' labor organization in Gen-, eva, Switzerland, in June, a convention entitled, "minimum standards of social security" was passed. This convention was submitted to 63 countries, including the United States, for ratification. Once ratified by any countryi the convention becomes a treaty binding that country to its provisions. Under the American constitution, if two-thirds of the members of the United States Senate present ratify such a convention, it becomes the law of the land, taking precedence over any domestic law passed by Congress or by any state legislature.

The United Nations and an increasing numberv of international organizations, passing conventions and covenants are really legislating for the American people without their knowledge of what is being done to them. This convention establishes universal socialized medicine. Part II of the convention contains the following provision: "Each member for which this part of this convention is in force shall secure to the persons- protected the provision of benefit in pect of a condition requiring medical, (fare of a preventive or curative nature in accordance with the following articles of this part 1 "The contingencies covered shall include any morbid condition, whatever its cause, and pregnancy and confinement and their consequen-ces." Also, "1. The benefit shall include at least '3. (A) In case of a morbid condition (I) General practioner care, including domiciliary visiting; (II) Specialist care at hospitals for in-patients and out-patents, and such specalst care as may be avail-abl outside hospitals; (III) The essential pharmaceutical supplies as prescribed by medical or other qualified practitioners; and (IV) Hospitalization where necessary; and home, and ruthless, inscrutable, and hostile power abroad." The 1835 instruction of Secretary of State Hull following an Inquiry from the U.

S. ambassador in Paris as to what he should do- about Hitler's plan to rearm iq violation of the Versailles Treaty, follows: "For your confidential information this government is continuing to follow the situation with the keenest and closest attention but as yet it has reached no determination as to the action, if any, which it may feel it necessary to take. Whatever action may eventually be taken may well depend upon circumstances which cannot as yet be clearly foreseen." Sen. WUey Turns Diplomat Sen. Alex Wiley of Wisconsin, the Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee "who wfll become chairman if Eisenhower is elected, staged a private dinner the other day for the new President of Panama which proved helpful to the State Department.

President-elect Jose Remon, who has not been regarded as a particularly good friend of the U.S.A., was frank and forthright to Senator Wiley. He criticized dictator Pe-ron's atacks on the U. proposed cleaning communists out of Panamanian universities, said he would appoint Bobby Heurtematte, ambassador to Washington 'and a good friend of the U. as Panamanian foreign minister. Senor Remon told Mrs.

Wiley that she was anxious to do some welfare work but was afraid of becoming another Evita Peron, while President Remon said he -planned to slap an income tax on the people of Panama. "If Mexico can do it, Panama can, too," he said, "since the Mexicans are worse thieves than the Panamanians." Wiley concluded that President Remon would be a good friend of the U. S. A. after aU.

Note Senator Wiley, who used to be the most genial back-slapper In the Senate, has settled down to take life seriously since his new marriage. Another Moscow Victory? There was a lot more than meets the eye behind the sudden comeback of aged, cantankerous Mohammed Mossadegh as Premier of Iran. First, it was a decisive defeat for American diplomacy. Second, it could mean that the Shah of Iran will go the way of the King of Egypt. What happened was that the Shah had finally got up nerve to do what he should have been do-.

ing long ago. He fired Mossadegh, replacing him with Ahmed Qavam, stanch foe of Russia, who immediately pledged publicly that he would, settle the oil dispute with England and thus restore Iranian economy. Following this, U. S. Ambassador Loy Henderson, the Kansas boy who has become one of the State Department's top experts on the Middle East, called on Qavam and promised him a large Amerl-, can loan in order to help clean up the mess Mossadegh left Henderson also called on the.

Shah, warned that the Communists, in league with fanatical Mossadegh followers, would try to overthrow the government. So the ambassador begged the Shah to give Qavam the power to call out the Army, arrest the ringleaders, and smash the riots. The Shah promised that, he would, but immediately got cold feet Word leaked out that lie had changed his mind and that the new premier could not call -out the army. The result was wholesale riots. Mossadegh followers jtnd Communists took over without fear of reprisal.

Qavam barely escaped with his life. Mossadegh will get no financial aid from S. A. until he cleans up his dispute with th British but the danger is from religious fanatic Mullah Kashani, who has been playing footsie with the Communists. Continued unrest and economic depression In Iran is almost certain to suck it behind the Iron Curtain.

The document is a long one and I can here quote no more, but it is clear that should the United States ratify this convention, government hospitalization, government controlled attendance of physicians, and government medication would be required by law. Oscar Ewing's measures, which Congress has rejected would become law without an act of Congress so providing, but by the ratification of a treaty, the title of which does not indicate its nature.

It Is not necessarily the fault of an organization, political or of whatever nature, that scum may rise to the top. But a political party impotent or unwilling to filter the plution of bias, vindictiveness, hate, personal aggrandizement and 'shoddy, unchristian discrimination from the stagnated waters of its immediate surroundings, is unfitted to cope with worldwide human problems, and cannot wisely be' entrusted with the sacred destiny and pre-, cious treasure of these blessed, prosperous United States of America. Unless the Republican Party awakens fromits promise-much-do-little coma and throws off its bedraggled isolation breechcloth; unless it can offer with reasonable assurance a program at least approximating what the not-infallible Democratic Party has outlined and demonstrated by 20 years of unprecedented social and material progress, it Is definitely not competent to take over the complex affairs of government If and when the Republican Party shows an inclination and lnrefutable evidence of its ability to give leadership superior to that of the Demo-crate Party thus far, it may then well be "time for a change.1 ISAAC LAING CORBELLO Louisville, Ky.

South well indicate what this share might be still on the average, of course, because here again there would be many variations. This figure is the amount of life insurance in force in the nation. It is approximately $255 billion about $5 billion less than the national debt In other words, if all the life insurance In force in this country wefe paid off at face value and the proceeds applied to payment of the national debt, there, would be only about a' $5. billion debt left on our hands. Now, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the amount of life insurance a person carries is probably a fairly accurate indication of his responsibility for, and his ability to underwrite, the nation's debt This would especially hold true of the great middle classes those who earn between $2,000 and per year and this is where most of the wealth of the country lies and from whence most of the'' taxes come.

It fellows, therefore, that it would l'Ot be too fcr out of line, if you. want to know what -is your, share of the national debt; that you total the face value of all your life insurance policies and consider that your actual share! Would that -be easy for you to pay? If this figure hits you hard in the face," so much the better. It is high time in fact, it is past time-that the American- people should be hit hard with the facts of life concerning our national debt We have been deceived and misled too long by the theorists of the new cult who would have us believe that the national debt is of no particular importance. The debt is again on the increase and according to estimate of the administration will amount to $270 billion at the close of this fiscal year. Yet this same administration shows no concern about the mat-' ter; it has made no particular effort to make payments on the debt; it has adopted no systematic plan for payment of the.

debt All this in face of the fact that the law of gravity is no more fixed than the law that a debt must be paid. lf we don't pay it our chil-. dren must pay it; and we could commit no more dastardly crime than pass on to our children this overwhelming debt for which they are in no manner responsible.

In 6,637 registered hospitals, 18,237,118 patients were admitted- one every 1.7 seconds. There was also a very marked gain in extending accident and health protection, among the people, as measured by the accurate yardstick of premium income. This income for accident and health insurance increased almost 28 per cent over 1950. Blue Cross, Blue Shield and similar plans reported an increase of 14 per cent. Group accident and health insurance jumped nearly 41 per cent.

What is the significance of such facts as these? They show that we are making substantial and steady progress toward solving the financial problems that come with sickness and accident. And we are doing it voluntarily, as individuals and members of organizations. We aren't doing it because the government tells us we must and taxes us to pay for it as would be the case under Federal compulsory health insurance. More Conservative Administration Expected. Wall Street, stock and bond trading center of the country, looks for a more conservative administration beginning in January whether the Democrats or the Republicans win the November election.

According to Wall Street Journal, Wall Street is not too worried about the election outlook. Perhaps a majority would like to see a Republican victory. However, many in the Street hope and believe that the Democratic nominee represents a more conservative viewpoint on economic security and defense than the outgoing administration. Thus, it would appear that there is not going to be too much immediate bearish fuel on the outcome of the election according to the trading element, Any day now we expect to see the TV industry's selection of the year's ten less-dressed women.

Press Gomment Yonr Share of National Debt It may be that you think you don't owe. anypart of the national Jdebt If so, you are just as wrongs as you can be. The national debt of a free nation is owed by the people of that na-tion not by. some vague, impersonal 'government because in a free nation the government is the people.

The national debt Is therefore the debt of the people so you had just as well figure your share of it. Dividing our present national debt of $260 billion by Jhe 150 million people in the shows that on the average each person's share of this debt is. $1,733, Now, to some oi you, -wh may not seem to be too excessive a debt. You may think that if and when the time comes that you must pay your share, you won't have a great deal of trouble doing it. But wait a minute! That average per debt of $1,733 means that this amount is owed by each man, woman and child in the country black and white, sane and insane, literate and illiterate all sorts of people.

And -when you remember that millions of people in the country, in addition to the babies and children, do not have and never will have total assets amounting to then the fact begins to soak in that your share of the national debt Is a great deal more than this average. lif And, of course, there is no getting around that fact; it is certainly true that the average reader, of this article owes much more than $1,733 as his share of the national debt It would be entirely impossible to figure out accurately any particular Individual's share of the debt there are too many factors to be taken into account But an interesting "figure haj come to our attention lately which might very ized medicine. On this ground alone we would have to vote against this proposed instrument I believe that the great majority of the people of the United States believe that an important part of our freedom is the freedom of the individual, both as a patient and as a physician." i However, most of the American government delegates followed the lead of the labor delegates in voting for socialized medicine. Their argument seemed to bt. that if they voted differently, they would be accused of being personally anti-labor.

This measure may come before the Senate at its next session and requires scrupulous scrutiny and fearless opposition. RED CROSS AID IN KOREA (New York Times) The Australian complaint at the Red Crocs meeting In Toronto that the United Nations Command in Korea has slowed down Red Cross aid by needless red tape should be listened to with appreciative attention. Things are getting better there, as Mortimer Cooke, coordinator for civilian relief in Korea, pointed out, but there is still room for much improvement. The Australian suggestions are friendly and helpful. They are no carping criticism and they are founded on well-established fact There is a' large disposition to give help to the Koreans.

It has not been easy to channel that help effectively and there has been occasional 'working at cross-purposes. The pre-eminent de- mands of the Korea "pipe line" have always had to be considered and there is a physical limit to what can be done in a given time. Nevertheless, any effort to speed delivery of materials for civilian assistance should be applauded. If this effort has to be directed against official red tape, then let it be so directed. Much of our thinking about Korea has been in terms of emergency.

That has been natural. But there is need also for steady planning to meet' a situation that will continue for some very considerable time. This means that the various opportunities to give help must be used effectively and that channels must be coordinated. The current discussion of this problem in Toronto can do some good. i ii-.
