17, 1946 MURRAY CHRISTMAS One-Minute Pulpit In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with 24:12. A Poor Idea William Fulbright, Democratic senator from Arkansas, is still of the opinion President Truman should re's sign as president "for the good of the country and the good of his (Demo. cratic) party." The senator made his first public utterance on the subject the day after the Nov. 5 election when Republicans 4 -swept to control of congress. His sug- gestion brought a barrage of criticism I from both Democrats and Republicans.

President Truman made no comment but the White House immediately made clear the president has no intention of quitting. But despite.all this.Mr. Fulbright still persists in his recommendation. Why President Truman should sign just because his party took a rather sound thrashing at the November elec- 'l'1-tion and lost the control of congress to -f the Republicans for the first time in j. 14 years is difficult to comprehend, There is no reason why President Fruman should not serve the country 1 just as efficiently during the next two years with Republicans in control of congress.as he might fl-Democrats were running -the show in the House of Rep's; resentatiyes and Senate.

As a matter of fact such a situation rgight react to the general" benefit of the entire nation. One of the troubles iuring the 14 years has been top much one-party control with New Deal Democrats too willing to pass off to a Deal executive powers which should have remained with the legis- "jflative body rather" than being turned over to the White House. Many of the problems today stem from, that situation many of them will not be until, the proper balance of ''If'power is restored as it applies to the legislative executive branches of government. 7 The new Republican dominated 'and President Truman may not'see. eye-to-eye on all matters during the-next.

two years but there is no rea- eon why the legislative and executive branches should not make progress in restoring to the nation a sound time "economy if both are doing the job they supposed to for the best interests of the nation as a whole and. not for special groups. To the credit of Mr. Truman it can be said that he has been quick to re; spond to the sentiment of the country as reflected in the results of the November election. That vote was a clear indication that the people are fed up.

government controls; bureaucratic domination and the holding of unlimited power by special groups to the disad- i vantage of others not blessed with such special privileges. The president has moved swiftly in i the weeks since election to rid the gov- 1 ernment and country of some of the controls which were impeding a return i to peacetime production. His latest ac- I tion in ditching practically all govern! ment control over house building will i do much to restore the free enterprise 1 system to an industry' which too long has been hamstrung by unnecessary and meaningless controls. His recent fight to the finish with John L. Lewis, which resulted in Lewis calling off a strike in the soft coal fields, is an indication of a change in the president's attitude and a new determination to prevent a recurrence of conditions which threaten the welfare of the public.

The election clearly indicated the American people were ready for change in administration policies in Washington. The president, who still has two years'to serve and.who may be the Democratic party's candidate in 1948. was quick to sense this change sentiment. After all government officials are servants of the people and it would be a foolish official who did not change his" course'when a majority of the people indicated by their votes they de- shred such a'change. Mr.

Truman, by all means, should finish his term as president and Mr. Fulbright should pack up his -bright idea about resignation in moth balls. There is a lot Mr. Truman and congress can do for the country during the next two years, even though they are on opposite sides of the fence MERRY-GO-ROUND- Drew Pearson From Independent Files 80 YEARS AGO Great bargains in Empress cloth at Ricks. Rules For Revolution Revolutions are nothing new in Latin American polities, but the novel thing about the one they had in Venezuela the other day was that ii: was so mild.

It was not only mild, it was abortive. Nobody was killed, only a few were wounded, and it took only 12 hours for government forces to get the situation fully under control. President Romulo Betancourt is still president and apparently inclined to make light of the affair. "All is okay," he said. "The leaders of the revolution will get jail sentences.

There be no executions." It might be well if this state of affairs were established as a model for Latin American revolutions. It would subject rebels to no more than the ordinary hazards of Latin American politics. Maybe President Betancourt had something of the sort in mind. A revolution a year ago put him in power. As an old rebel himself, he probably was reluctant to take harsh measures against people who merely were trying to do what he had succeeded in doing.

Diet and Health By DR. HERMAN N. BUNDESEN Modern engineering has given medical science many of its best weapons against pain and disease. One of these is the diathermy machine which generates a current capable of passing through the body and producing heat in its deeper tissues without burning the skin. In previous articles I have often spoken of the benefits of diathermy.

In bringing heat to otherwise inaccessible parts, diathermy assists Nature's own restorative processes by speeding up the flow of blood to the tissues and thus making possible the swifter carrying away of wastes and the bringing of new materials for repair. Dr. Connell G. Garrenton Carolina has outlined the various conditions in which diathermy may be found useful. In the treatment of sprains, he says that it is advisable to use cold applications at first.

This will help to stop any bleeding that may be present deep in the tissues. After the first day, however, there is a collection of fluid in the tissues, together with some swelling, and these symptoms may be helped by the application of the diathermy. The heat produced causes the blood vessels to dilate, increasing the flow of blood and promoting healing. The heat also, gives relief from pain. The treatments, as a rule, are given daily for 20 minutes until the symptoms clear up.

Bursitis is an other condtion which is helped with diathermy. The bursae are sacs containing fluid, which are located around the various joints. There is one. under the large muscle over the shoulder. This is knovyn as the subdeltoid bursa.

Dr. Garrenton believes that treatment with diathermy should be used in all cases of subdeltoid bursitis before any surgical measures are employed. Even deposits of calcium or lime salts may disappear with the diathermy treatment. Inflammation of the lining membranes around the tendons which connect the muscles with the bones is known as tenosynovitis. This condition may arise from infections and injuries.

Daily diathermy treatments of 20 minutes will often give surprisingly good results in this troublesome disorder. The value of diathermy in the treatment of chronic arthritis or of the joints, as well as fibrositis, which is inflammation around joints, is well known, according to Dr. Disraeli Kobak of Chicago. Diathermy, however, has other uses, such as the relief of pain produced by pleurisy, which is an inflammation of the lining membrane of the chest. It is also used in the treatment of inflammation of the nerves, infections of the sinuses, and backache.

It is not to be expected that diathermy treatments will give'results in a day or two. It should be borne in mind that -thev act by speeding up the flow of blood to the tissues which aids in carrying away wastes and bringing materials for repair. The treatments are easily carried out, are in no way dangerous, and are one of the doctor's best weapons acainsl. manv i Parent Problems By DR. GARRY C.

MYERS, Ph. D. The child who normally can earn his own spending money may gain an excellent education in the value and use of money. But very few children have this privilege. Almost none can earn money before the age of ten or twelve.

Oh, yes, the child can be paid for helping about the home, but if he is, how is he to gain a healthy feeling of obligation as a member of the family group? Is he likely then to volunteer to help in many other jobs he is not paid for? Besides, many parents who pay their children for home chores soon find themselves scolding and punishing these children to make them do the very jobs they are paid for. However, should the child, say at ten or fourteen, be striving to save money to buy some long-desired thing, his parents might properly pay him for an irregular or unexpected job occasionally. Here is how one child began an allowance at the age of nine. When school began he was given ten cents a week to do with as he pleased. As he needed money for lunch, bus fare, Sunday school, he was given the money needed.

He kept account of these regular expenditures for two weeks. Then he and his mother were able to know what his allowance, including the ten cents to do with as he pleased, should be for the week. Irregular expenditures, as for school supplies were not at first included, but doled out as needed. A year later they were included. He understood that for the specified regular expenditures plus luxuries, he would receive no more that week, and that he would have to make it last.

From a cardboard box he made bins, one for each school day, one for Sunday school and one for the dime. On receiving his allowance on he distributed it in these bins. Some children use envelopes instead. This child was not required to keep- an itemized account of his expenditures. A few years later he was induced to do so but not with the purpose that his parents would know-how he used the money; rather as good business exercise.

If, as so many parents require, the child must show satisfactory accounts before reaching the next week's allowance, this child is tempted to enter false records in order to make the accounts come out right, or to scape censure. By basing the allowance on the budget plan instead, when the allowance is received, temptation to deceive by juggling records is removed. As this child grew older, more items were included in the allowance, such as movies and school supplies, and the budgeted allowance obviously had to be revised upwards from time to lime. Also the "free" or luxury item gradully increased, reaching 25 cents as he entered junior school. Out of his do-as-you-plcase fund he chose to save for special purchases.

In his case it was for tools for his work shop. won't be announced for awhile, but Attorney General Tom Clark is hatching a unique plan for selling civil liberties to the American people. He will send a special train through the 48 states carrying some of the priceless treasures of American freedom. It was Clark, working quietly behind the scenes, who had more than anyone, else to do with organizing the president's special committee on civil liberties which will study southern lynchings and race problems. Clark, who comes from Texas, has been prompt to invoke federal law in South Carolina-Louisiana race disputes, but believes that more can be done by education.

Accordingly he has evolved the idea of sending a special train across the United States containing the most sacred documents of American history which guarantees our freedom. At first Clark proposed equipping two special cars with showcases which would display the Bill of Rights, the'Declaration of Independence, the emancipation the Constitution and so on. However, he found that the Proclamation of Emancipation by which Lincoln freed the slaves was in the hands of Abraham Rosenbach of Philadelphia, famous collector of old manuscripts. Clark, therefore, called Rosen- to'tell him about his plan and ask for the loan of the proclamation. Kosenbach said he would be delighted to cooperate, but asked: "Why are you having only two cars? I've got lots of old Americana.

Why not get up an entire train?" "We haven't got the money," replied the attorney general. "Haven't you heard that we're trying to down here?" Rosenbach then offered to help raise the extra money and, as a result, it is now planned to an entire special train with showcases in which will be displayed the most cherished documents of American history. Soldiers will guard the train, just as guards stand watch continually over these documents in the Library of Congress. In the train arrives at each state border, an extra Car will be added displaying the historic documents and civil rights mementoes of the state. Finally, Clark plans to- have large-size duplicates of the freedom up" as permanent exhibits to be left behind in the high schools of each city through which the train passes.

SUPPRESSED MacARTHUR More background is now leaking out regarding the remarkable top secret cable sent by. General MacArthur to the" War department banning editors of the New York Herald Tribune, Christian Science Monitor and several other newspapers from taking a special trip to Japan on the ground that they verged, on "downright quackery and dishonesty." It now appears that one reason for MacArthur's ban on the staid and conservative New York Herald Tribune is a so-far suppressed book written by Herald Trib Correspondent Lewis Sebring, jr, regarding MacArthur's wartime publicity machine. Sebring covered the MacArthur campaign in the Southwest Pacific from the day Doug arrived in Australia until 1944. His book not only takes apart the commander's super-publicity setup, but tells about the luxurious mansion he built for himself on the hills of Hollandia and dissects various parts of the MacArthur claims to heroism. It is a book which every navy man would delight to read.

However, they may not be able to read it. Thomas Y. Crowell and originally scheduled to publish the book, got cold feet. Later Doubleday Co. considered publication, but also backed down.

Meanwhile Frank Kelly, who replaced Special Tram Will (7. 5. Historic Scbring-as New York Herald Tribune corre- spohdent, also had some clashes with MacArthur, and when censorship was finally lifted, wrote a scathing story on how newsmen were ordered to play up the supreme commander. All of which may be why the Herald Trib is now branded by MacArthur as approaching "downright quackery and dishonesty." INSIDE THE MINERS' American public is prone to forget easily. When a crisis is over it goes back to pleasanter things.

But while most people now are busy with turkeys and Christmas trees John L. even though his bushy brow ceases to adorn the front an ever-present problem with another strike threatened March 31. This columnist, therefore, believes it important to continue to remind the public of Lewis' backstage operations. When a man amasses as much power as John and uses it as ruthlessly, he merits never-ceasing public scrutiny, especially in view of what some of his own men have to say about him. This column has long championed the general cause of the miners but not all the miners agree with their union few have the nerve to speak out about him However, here is a letter from one union organizer who works directly under John's brother, Denny Lewis, and whose name be obvious reasons.

His letter tells its own story: "We 'field representatives who do the very necessary spade-work for organization, are required to do everything from painting the homes of the regional union directors to murder. For this we get the magnanimous salary of $300 per month, plus the kicking around attested in the enclosed documents. "My home is in Indiana. I was transferred to Pennsylvania mainly because I of beating up or murdering a Negro of the rival CIO. RUTHLESS a look at the upper righthand corner of the enclosed letter.

You will find George F. Rice blacked out and his successor superimposed. Rice was neatly framed in the standard way because he couldn't see his way clear to holding up an employer for the last outside cent during contract negotiations with Gunnison Homes of New Albany, Ind. He was' ruthlessly fired. "The list of Lewis ex-employes is large and growing daily.

You can readily see why. The pay doesn't attract the higher type of men, and when it does, the treatment soon sickens them. When I say sicken, I mean that you fight like hell for leave-of-absence clauses or seniority in a contract, only to find that the union you represent wouldn't think of allowing these benefits to its own employees. "We little fellows are just waking up to the fact that the good old days of union for union's sake are about gone; replaced by the $1,000,000 treasury and a dictatorial attitude that makes the meanest employer of the dark ages of labor look-like a piker. "I came into the work of union organizing with the conviction that there was no more noble occupation than trying to better the condition of my fellowmen.

That is still my honest conviction. What I didn't know, however, is that the top brass have refused to recognize the signs of the times and sat right down astride their multimillion dollar treasuries and in effect said: 'from now on all you can do is pour it in here while we dictate your politics, your privilege of earning a living, and generally become more paternalistic than any employer ever being in his palmiest A "So, Drew, if you can use this withow getting a leaden slug in the short ribs, go to it." WORLD DeWitt Mackenzie There is before the constituent assembly in New Delhi a resolution calling for an independent, sovereign Republic of highly explosive measure which, if adopted, could easily precipitate civil war among the four hundred millions of that vast sub-continent. The point is that the government and assembly as now constituted represent only one dominant Hindus. The Moslem league, claiming to stand for 90,000,000 Moslems, and the some 600 princes who rule over 90,000,000 subjects, haven't agreed so far to participate in the provisional government. Thus any measure passed by the legislature would in effect be unilateral, since it would represent only the Hindus.

THERE YOU have a kettle of at least potential trouble. Unhappily the political divisions in India are largely on religious and racial lines. The feud between the Hindus and the Moslems has been the source of rivers of blood through the centuries. As recently as the past summer thousands of people died in fierce communal strife in various parts of the which was the outgrowth of the political warfare in the capital. Over a short period in August more than 300 were killed, and nobody knows how many injured, in the great city of Calcutta.

Things got so terrible that the sewers were choked with the dead. If horrors like that can grow out of po- India Faces New Crisis In Independence Battle litical differences, wnat can we expect to result from a unilateral declaration of independence by one of the political parties? Many observers believe that former British Prime Minister Churchill gave the answer when he declared in the house of commons on Dec. ,12: "Any attempt to establish a reign of Hindu numerical majority in India will never be achieved without civil war. This war will, before it is to an awful abridgment of the Indian population." "AWFUL ABRIDGMENT" is right for, so far as one can foresee, a civil war would have to run its course. The British said to have only about 50,000 English troops in that vast sub-continent.

Attempting to restore order with them would be like trying-to police New York City with two cops. Of course there is a big native standing army, but one would scarcely expect the British to try to employ that, made up as it is of both Moslems and Hindus. The only hope of averting catastrophe in India lies in finding some formula which will permit the wan-ing factions to join forces in creating a new government to implement the independence which England has offered. Dr. Mukund Ramrao Jayakar, former federal judge, has proposed to the constituent assembly that discussions of the constitution be postponed until the Moslem league and tUt Indian states participate.

The fate of i would seem to depend on the outcome of the debate in the assembly. Harrison Carroll years, George Sanders has been quoted as making flip remarks about women, I never saw a man more serious in his hopes to reconcile with his wife. Mrs. Sanders, who has been on the verge of a nervous breakdown is living with George's brother-in-law, the Tom Conways. "I don't want a divorce, I never have," George told me.

We were sitting in his dressing room on the set of "Personal Column" and the fellow'before me bore small resemblance to the cynical roues he portrays on the screen. "I want to get my wife well, first of all," said George. "I also would like to be reconciled with her. I don't know whether it can be done at this I am going to see my wife's doctor and ask him ifj he thinks it is advisable to try." Ironically, George is receiving philosophical advice from his Negro butler, who is also a minister. WONDERFUL' NEWS for Mark Stevens.
