Rambo Seldom, if ever, in the history of Zanesville and Muskingum county has a death brought such a sense of sincere sorrow, of extreme loss as has the passing of Dr. Cyrus M.

Rambo, whose attributes of fine character, whose activity in his profession and devotion to the welfare of his patients endeared him to hundreds of families. Here was a man of vision, a man of intellect, who dedicated a long life to the relief of pain, the healing of the sick, and his death at the age of 85 canot help but sadden the lives of thousands -thousands whose lives he touched so pleasantly and beneficently as an outstanding physician. Dr. Rambo was born on a farm near Hopewell and attained eminence in his profession only at the cost of years of hard work and self-denial. His schooling was often interrupted by the necessity of going to work to finance further study, but having made up his mind to become a doctor he overcame all obstacles by sheer force of will, Space does not permit a complete listing of the many virtues and accomplishments of this distinguished Zanesvillian; his charIty, his generosity may be written in full only on our hearts.

Let us add that Dr. Rambo is not dead, but lives as a rich memory in the lives of all who knew him; a healer, he now resides in the land prepared by the Great Physician for the faithful; he lives in the inspiration to all of us to follow his example of service to others with courage and unswerving determination. Zanesville has lost a great citizen, the medical professoin has lost one of its leading members and the loss throws a pall of sadness over the lives of all who knew him. With the surviving members of his family we share a sorrow, a grief that is genuine and sincere. How Did Maine Go? The news from Maine is that Mrs.

Margaret Chase Smith defeated Dr. Adrian H. Scolten for senator by the biggest majority and the highest percentage of the total vote in the political history of the state. We leave the traditional cry to Republican National Chairman Scott. What we are trying to find out is which way Maine actually went.

Mrs. Smith, it has been charged, is a New Dealer who ran as a Republican. She voted for the draft, universal military training, the Marshall plan and other of Mr. Truman's delusions. She voted for most measures, supported by organized labor, although she backed the Taft-Hartley bill.

This may, of course, pass for Republicanism on the Atlantic seaboard, but now we come to Dr. Scolten. He is, we read, a newcomer to politics, but he is an old acquaintance in our Voice of the People. Every now and then he sends a vigorous, if not vituperative, denunciation of state medicine. Yet Dr.

Scolten campaigned as a supporter of President Truman. The president is all in a rash for state medicine. He is also for a lot of other controls that would do to the rest of us what Dr. Scolten thinks state medicine wouldn't do to physicians. The only moral we can draw from this is that politics in the state of Maine must have involutions and convolutions that we innocent midlanders want not -Chicago Tribune.

A woman subscriber complained that her telephone bell did not ring, but that she learned to answer the phone when the dog howled in the back yard. The repair man found the dog chained to the ground wire. He also found there was a shortcircuit, and the dog was shocked every time his mistress' number was called.

Lovely Lana And Handsome Bob By EARL WILSON NEW YORK When Lana pounds since he and his bride the wedding march. Turner doesn't make news, that's news.

For almost a week; lovely Lana and her handsome new husband, Bob Topping, have been hanging around their 3-room suite at the Savoy-Plaza, or at his home in Greenwich, enjoying each other's company and nobody else's--not even mine. Columnists naturally have been impatient with them for minding their own business that way. Why couldn't they go out and do something we could scream about? But Miss should I say Mrs. now just a pretty homebody, relations who's job doing by keeping good quiet so nobody can say unpleasant things about her. And if any of those nawsty British journalists write anything nawsty about her again, they'll have me to whip and boy, do I pity them.

(They'll probably be charged with murder.) I venture this revolutionary opinion after talking to Lana for an all too brief period at Gene Cavallero's Colony. I happened at the bar (happened! I'd been waiting for an hour) when in swung Lana and the favorite Topping of discussion, to join A birthday party for her brother-in-law Jack Topping. She was the most beautiful girl within 100 miles. Her bright blonde hair was purtier than a 5-year apartment lease and there was no back and very little front to her off-thegirl gown. I shoved out my hand to extend best wishes on her marriage because this horrendously trying lite I lead--nudist conventions, beauty pageants, etc.kept me from seeing her since she became a bride for the uh.

Dry headquarters this week is located in exhibition hall at the county fair grounds. Beechrock water is on tap, and literature is being distributed. All are Invited. Norman For the sixth time, Norman Thomas is a candidate for the Presidency of the United States on the Socialist ticket and while he stands no chance of election, he has gained in stature and public approval. He has neither become a slave of the Kremlin nor has he gone over to capitalism as a reaction to association with Communism.

This year, it is anticipated that Norman Thomas will receive a fairly large protest vote. For there are some who just will not vote for Tom Dewey and the Republicans; who are distressed by Truman's lack of knowledge and ineptitude; and who abhor Henry Wallace's complete subservience to the Kremlin. They will vote for Thomas express their dissatisfaction. Norman Thomas is a Socialist. He believes in the socialization of the means of production distribution.

He calls attention to his 1928 program, which Roosevelt adopted in 1932 in some of its immediate provisions and which, in some respects, both Republican, and Democratic in 1948. Thomas himself points to these provisions: principle of collective bargaining must be recognized. (We must have) "an adequate national program for flood control, flood relief, reforestation, irrigation and reclamation. (We must have) "a system of health and accident insurance old age pensions as well as unemployment insurance. (We favor) "shortening the work day securing to every worker a rest period of no less than two days in each week.

the farmer is entitled to special consideration because of the importance of agriculture because farmer is unable to control the prices of what he buys and what he sells." Too much can be made of this. The American way is progressive and has been for 300 years. American capitalism is premised on the theory that larger quantities of purchasing power should increasingly be made available to all elements in the population so that they can purchase a constantly increasing quantity of the productivity of farm, mine, and factory, Also, American capitalism has supported the reduction of working hours, introducing labor saving machinery, with the object of increasing leisure and the use of goods and services designed for leisure. The Eight Hour Day did not come into existence as either a Socialist or a New Deal reform nor did the high wage scale or the high standard of living grow out of the party platforms of any kind. Nevertheless, it is true of Norman Thomas that he has generally been ahead of his times; that his services to his country have been unselfish and patriotic.

At 63, he can point to a record of devotion which must be the envy of every American with a conscience. His record during the war was extraordinarily sound. He opposed not only Nazism but Communism. He says: "We bitterly opposed the slo- Driving Along The Rhine By J. M.

ROBERTS, JR. REMAGEN, Germany To anyone driving up the left bank of the Rhine the history of Europe and of America becomes a single theme. Soon after you leave Cologne, the highway drops down to the bank of the river. Across it, to your left, are dotted the ancient castles of the Rrenish knights, symbols of an antiquity which somewhere along the road of time gave way to adventurous and brutal gambling and to final bankruptcy. Behind you to the north are the bombed out cities of the Ruhr.

To right the roads lead off to Aachen, Duren, Scheiden, Monschau, Prum, Bitberg, and to Malmedy and St. Vith in Belgium names which have now become as much a part of of American history as of European. At Bonn the constitutional convention is meeting, hoping to bring forth a new Germany. But whatever they produce will have to operate under a military occupation statute on which other men-French, British and American are now working in Berlin and Frankfurt. You can hardly tell that war passed through this valley three years ago.

The Germans fled swiftly across the river that there was little bombing or fighting in these towns. Remagen is just a little place, quieter now than ever without its bridge to the main body of Germany, It was here that the lower echelons of American army command proved the qualities of daring and initiative which give them the right to move in the world's fastest military company. The high command had planned a great and carefully arranged offensive for crossing the Rhine in 1945. It was to have come much later and much farther north. American But here reached a small the forcef to find a bridge intact.

They threw across a few battalions to form the spearhead of what later became a great encircling. movement and brought the death of Germany's armies in the famous "Ruhr pocket." The damaged bridge collapsed later, and now only Its piers stand in the river to mark Remagen's place history, Bible Thought But do not stop with material prosperity. Strive for riches that endure into eternity. 3 John 1:2. I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper, Thomas As A Candidate By GEORGE SOKOLSKY gan 'unconditional surrender' as purely negative.

We attacked the Morgenthau Plan, the division of Germany into zones, and the failure of Mr. Roosevelt even to try for peace on a basis looking toward political and economic co-operation- exemplified, for instance, in a United States of Europe. Our insistence in 1944 and after was on the impossibility of peace by indiscriminate vengeance against Germany and appeasement of Stalin." Today when many of these who toadied to the Kremlin and the American Communists and who brought upon us the shame of Yalta, point to an occasional and rare reflection on the abuses of the Communists, and justify their stupidities on the that because they were fighting Hitler they could not see Stalin, Norman Thomas can point to a of peace--a lasting peace durdaring and, courageous pursuit ing the entire course of the war. Now, he is opposing Henry Wallace and his party. He says: "But in the manipulation of the movement, Communists have gained too much power.

Bitter experience from World War I down through 1936 taught us Socialists the impossibility of any cooperation in good faith with a party controlled rigidly from Moscow, and which glorifies bad faith as part of its religion." Thomas may be smiled at as a perennial candidate, but he has the courage to serve without hope of success, without profit, to be Americanin its most idealistic terms. Dewey Dividends By RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON Capitol Hill Republicans' collaboration in framing a bipartisan foreign policy and rearmament program will pay rich dividends to Governor Thomas E. Dewey if he should become the next president of the United States. The GOP could not have made a better deal for themselves. if they had cooperated with President Truman from a Machiavellian political motive rather than from the standpoint of a need for national unity.

In discussing a possible break in negotiations with Russia over Berlin, a likely stalemate over the issue in the United Nations and the prospect of preparing for actual hostilities, Secretary George C. Marshall has kept in touch with Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg and John Foster Dulles, the Albany man's advisor on foreign matters. They are in full agreement on the three alternative courses to be pursued. Thus Governor Dewey will not have to face a new and difficult set of circumstances or make a sharp break with his predecessor's policies, if and when he takes over the White House.

There will be no such revolutionary reversal as happened when Harding succeeded Wilson or when FDR followed Hoover. From both a political and national standpoint, the most important factor is that Governor Dewey's decisions and policies will have been fixed for him before January 20, when he will take the oath if he wins in November. He will not approach this field in blindness and ignorance, as did Mr. Truman and even Secretary Byrnes after the death of former President Roosevelt. Responsibility for a deterioration of our relations with Moscow after next inauguration day, including such an extremity as war with Russia, would continue to be bipartisan.

Indeed, despite' disagreement political bickering over how and why the United States and the world got into the present predicament, it may be no exaggeration to suggest that the great issue of foreign policy and politics has been eliminated from the field of partisan controversy. As president, Mr. Dewey would simply be executing the Truman policy, and it would be difficult for the Democrats to attack him on this sector. In fact, spokesmen for the major presidential candidates and parties have reached an agreement on the diplomatic and national defense steps which must be taken or accelerated in the event of an open break with the Kremlin. of the closing of Russian and American consulates in the two countries, Moscow and Washington are not far from the kind of ultimatum that usually preludes a conflict.

So, it is entirely possible that, if and when Governor Dewey walks Into the White House, he may find it necessary only to sign orders, vouchers and other documents which validate, continue and intensify warlike preparations already made by his predecessor. In order of their importance, as discussed at recent conferences of the cabinet, the national security council, American and Benelux nations' ambassadors in Washington, London and in Paris, here is the outline of our agenda for an economic, diplomatic or war with Russia: shooting, expansion and acceleration of the Marshall Plan, to strengthen prospective allies in Western Europe, the Scandinavso ian countries (if they will agree) and in the Middle East. (2) A hard and fast military alliance with the Benelux countries Ho Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg. This would involve the lend-leasing of arms and munitions, as well as American reinforcement of bases in those areas. (3) De jure instead of a mere de facto recognition of Israel, any other steps which would win Middle East nations to our side.

This would necessitate practicompromise of differences between the Jews and Arabs, lest the latter be drawn into the Russian orbit. (4) A composition of our difficulties with several South American countries, especially Argentina, even if it means partial surrender of our previous demands in Latin America. (5) More effective aid to Chiang Kai-shek, provided he remains in partial power after a possible October revolt against him that is now under way. (6) Domestic rearmament, now estimated at $15,000,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, but which may run as high as $20,000,000,000 if world conditions do not improve. went to Europe.

(I wish she'd ask about me as much.) "He started in the first grade this week," I confessed with fatherly reluctance. 'And is your little girl in school yet?" "Not YET," said Lana. "She's only 5." "Well," said Lana, "we must say goodnight to the birthday party." Jack Topping and his wife and the others went on to El Morocco but Lana and her husband DIDN'T go on to a cafenope, the happy honeymooners trundled off home and at only 11:30, too! I'm going to add that Lana's figure looked good to me. I read where some columnist said she had to take off 30 pounds. Ridiculous! Why, she looked so good that Billy Seeman, the canned goods king (so called because he is sometimes canned) kept peeking around a corner looking at her as she sat holding hands with Papa, and every time he looked, he'd say "Sensational!"

Shanghai City Of Dread By FRED HAMPSON SHANGHAI-This is a city of Cread. Fear runs through almost business institution; it is not confined to the speculator, the hoarder, the exchange broker. Why? Because the intense campaign to enforce economic reform seems to be going off on a retroactive witch-hunting tangent. Original aims were to control prices, prevent hoarding and stop speculation in foreign exchange so as to bolster the new gold yuan which went into use Aug. 23.

Now the economic police are hunting down everybody who handled a foreign exchange transin the past several months, before the new money was decreed. Some of those transactions were black market speculations, but most were by legitimate businessmen. Strictly speaking, they were outside the law, yet probably 20 per cent of all businesses in Shanhai had to resort to them tokeep from going broke, They were condoned and in some cases openly espoused by the Chinese government. Yet today a business man can be jailed, fined, or even shot for some deal that was concluded months ago, or as far back as the police want to To import a commodity from the United States, a business man long has had to get a permit from the Chinese government and get U. S.

dollars to pay for the goods. There were probably thousands of cases in which the permit was granted but the government refused to sell the business man dollars. This meant that the government tacitly approved his obtain- The Truman-Wallace "crusade" for Civil Rights has precipitated racial clashes in the Old Dominion State of Virginia which may throw that historic commonwealth, as well as North Carolina, into the Republican presidential column, although they would like to vote the other Harry F. Byrd, the political boss of Virginia, has no use for Mr. Truman's domestic program, but he has taken no stand openly.

Earlier efforts to name anti-Truman electoral college members have been snubbed. In North Carolina, despite anti Truman sentiment, the Democrats have not quit the reservation formally because the G. O. P. has shown strength of its own in recent years.

But Negro lawyers and political leaders recently tried to force white high schools to accept colored children, making, the attempt in three Old Dominion's most historic counties. They argued that the school districs had not provided "equal educational facilities" for their race, as required by federal court decision.

The other source was the black market. In addition, many foreign businesses pay the operating expenses of their Shanghai offices transferring dollars from the United States.

The old official rate of exchange such a farce that it often was one-tenth the black market rate. If a business needed $1,000 for operating expenses in Shanghai, it would have had to import 000. Since no one could stand such a loss, the black market was the only answer. Now both these respectable types of business men are vulnerable to retroactive penalties, including execution. No one who is in a legitimate business opposes the government's efforts to hold prices at a reasonable level, prevent hoarding and stamp out the price manipulators and shady moneychangers.

Lumping together all who ever made such a money transfer, however, has hung the "outlaw" label on practically the entire business structure. The clammy hand of fear has clamped on all business, bad, indifferent and good alike. Trade, already slow, has come to virtually a dead stop. Financial and business men say the economic police know about as much about the complexities of trade as a ricksha coolie, yet they have their hands around the neck of the goose that had laid most of China's golden eggs. The economic police feel they are winning a great victory, but one frightened business man quoted the famous remark of the Greek king Pyrrhus: "One more such victory and we are utterly undone."
