Not Big Enough In some ways a rather startling similarity has developed in the campaign method of Henry Wallace and President Wallace, whose whole view-point is embittered by "sour grapes," as the result of having been ousted from the Truman cabinet, finds crowds responsive he criticizes his own and offers nothing constructive in return. Truman, on his "non political" tour of the West, adopted tactics.

At almost every whistle stop the President derided the Congress of the United States, despite fact that he is the head of the S. Government and Congress is very nearly evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans. The Truman speeches were also a reflection of "sour grapes" in that no previous American President has been repudiated so often by the members of his own party. Time and again, -President Truman has tried to obstruct' the intent of Congress by the veto method. More recently his vetoes became almost as prolific as the "Nos" of Russia's Gromyko.

But in almost every instance a majority of the Democratic members of Congress with a majority of the Republicans in rejecting the Presidential attempt at one- man domination. When President Truman branded the present Congress as the "worst in American history," someone retorted that Truman is the "worst President in American history." Neither statement is true but it shows how far 'down towards the gutter political oratory goes in a Presidential year. In our form of free speech and open elections, the American people have never been able to get through a political campaign without name-calling. Usually the mildest charges and insinuations are left to the lesser but the 1948 campaign started early with at least two of the avowed Presidential and in reckless abuse of the Congress is the American government, while the President is an individual Truman's vetoes were overridden by a two-thirds vote in both houses and his own party joined wholeheartedly in those majorities. Oije can understand the Truman "sour grapes" because it is not flattering to lose faith of the 'Congress.

But name-calling changes nothing. It simply makes it more clear that Truman has not proven big. enough for the Presidential post. N. J.

BUNDESEN, M.D. The more we learn of the body and its functions, the more clearly we see the' importance proper food to health. Give the body enough of the tools it needs in th'e form of proteins, vitamins, and minerals, and it will use them to build a state of robust health.

Deprive it of these things and it not only fails to function as it should during the period of privation but may even suffer permanent damage which can never be made good. This is particularly true of the liver, largest of the body's vital organs, and one of the most complex. During the recent research which has centered around this organ, it has been found that certain substances in every well-balanced diet play a signal role in keeping the liver healthy. They are called lipotropic factors because they aid in the body's use of fats. Amino Acids Among these health-building lipo- tropic substances are choline, a part of that powerful bundle of vitamins known as the B-complex and the ammo" acid called methio- nine.

The amino acids are the building blocks of the protein found principally and abundantly in such foods as meat, milk and eggs. 'When a diet which does not contain enough of these lipotropic factors is given to animals, a great amount of fat is deposited in the liver with the gradual formation of non-functioning scar tissue in place of working liver cells. Ultimately large areas of the liver are 'hard ened in this way and the condition known as cirrhosis is produced Not only can these changes be brought about in animals by withholding choline and methionine, but the first step in this process whichMs the deposit of fat in the liver can be reversed by adding them once again to the diet. Natur- ally, the scar tissue already formed will remain permanently, but the giving of choline and methionine will cause a rapid disappearance of fat from the liver and a regeneration of cells which have been injured rather than killed. Liver Damage A cumber of other observations seem to show the relation between the absence of these lipotropic factors and the development of liver damage.

For example, in such countries as India, Syria, and China, where the diet is poor in vitamins and proteins, a great deal of cirrhosis develops. In a certain area in South Africa, the natives live, for the most part, on starchy foods principally ground meal, and only very small amounts of milk. Meat is rarely eaten. Thus, the diet of these natives is greatly deficient in proteins and vitamins, in these people, it has been found that cirrhosis the liver was present in four out of five of the men who died and were examined after death. There been some suggestion that the liver may be due to the use of alcoholic beverages, hut it has not been possible to show that alcoholism by itself can produce cirrhosis of the liver.

It is likely that a food deficiency develops because such people are too busy drinking'to eat. Modern research indicates that too little food rather than too much drink is the basic cause of the liver-damage so often found among alcoholics. Questions and Answers J. If a child has an enlarged heart, can it be brought back to normal? Answer: It is not likely that the enlarged heart can be brought back to normal. However, with proper care, strain on the heart can be prevented so that further enlargement will not occur.

You're Telling Me! By WILLIAM RITT Central Press Writer REPUBLICANS who- labeled the President's call for a new Congress "cheap" are all wrong. The convening of Congress never turns out that way. i i Mr. Truman will demand that the Republicans either put up or shut up in the matter of stemming inflation. But no matter who shuts up.

it'll be us folk who have to put up. Actually neither the administration nor the GOp caused inflation. It was high prices. The civil rights issue is certainly causing a lot of hullabaloo in tnis campaign. And as in most political campaigns, this one isn't very civil or very right.

H's plain that the Democrats are out of step with each other Xot only the left and rfclu. but the Xorth and South. Speaking of politics, Panama's troubles resulted in having two presidents simultaneously. Perhaps it's an indicator of what type hat a candidate should toss into the ring. i Spike Jones is honeymooning in Hawaii, if he cuts loose with any of that music the islanders will think it's another Pearl Harbor.

The Summons ONCE OVER By H. I. PHILLIPS (Released by'The Awoclated Newspapers) The Bar Lament Washington Merry Go Round- By DREW PEARSON Dewey and Warren Agree With Truman More Than With GOP Congress; Dewey-Warren Housing Record Far Ahead of Federal Government few people, even inside the Republican Party, fully realize is that the men at the head of the GOP ticket are far ahead of the Republican Congress which meets in special session today.

The real truth is that Dewey and Warren have much more in common with Harry Truman when it comes to domestic legislation than the Republican Party which nominated them. If there is to be a Republican administration next January, therefore, this special is the time for the voters to watch their Congressmen. They can then go to the polls in November in an effort to give the next administration a -workable Congress instead of the present collection of misfits and diehards. All you have to do is. look at the record to see how far ahead of Congress are the two top candidates on the Republican ticket.

Here is their records: Dewey-Warren Record Minimum Wages: minimum wages to 500,000 retail workers previously not covered laws; also to 320,000 women in hotels, beauty parlors; cleaning establishments. (Truman has repeatedly urged 'Congress to and increase minimum wages, but no result.) "'Fair Employment: a Fair Employment Bill giving equal working opportunity regardless of race or religion. (This is similar to the Truman PEPC proposal). When the N. Y.

Board of Regents protested against admitting Jews, Negroes and Catholics to New York State universities on the same proportion to the population, Dewey overruled them. He insisted that any religion or race must be admitted to any college in proportion to the provided they pass scholastic requirements.

Health: state aid for local public health work; launched successful program to have free chest -rays for. tuberculosis.

(This is the program endorsed by Truman makes Senator Taft see red and which most Republican call "New Deal War ren has urged this program a every session of Legislature since 1043. Dewey's "Socialistic" Housing Housing: $60,000 000 of post-war emergency IIOUE ing which is three times what th.

(This is the type housing which GOP leaders in Congress call "socialistic" and iave refused to pass.) Of this so-c ailed "socialistic" housing, Dewey says: "Public nous- represents one contribution of government to the basic needs of portion of the people who are jconomically unable without such aid to maintain a decent standard of living." emergency housing appropriation of $7,500,000 to help ocal communities with public housing, and another $2,000,000 for -ural housing. Also set up revolving fund of $1,000,000 to buy surp- us Federal buildings and building materials for veterans. Real-Estate Lobby: Dewey and lis top housing adviser, Herman T. Stichman, have consistently opposed the real-estate lobby (so has ov.

Warren), while GOP Congressional leaders have eaten out of its hand. Says Stichman: "Certain real-estate groups must awaken to the realization that their unyielding opposition to any program of governmental aid to housing families of low income is direct invitation to the Communists to come in and exploit the resulting discontent The country where people spent their lives" in hovels and shacks was the one "that iell first Russia." Rent Control: N.Y. Legislature to pass Rent Control Act he saw OPA was likely to be killed by a Republican Con press. special session of State Legislature July 22, 1946, to stop unreasonable rent increases and unwarranted evictions. He asked that all rents be frozen temporarily, and all evictions stopped except for statutory causes.

His legislature, however, turned him down. Education: boiling mad at so-called teachers' lobby and believes they are unreasonable in salary demands. Teachers 1 salaries in York State are higher than most though still woefully inadequate, Dewey helped get- teachers one raise and argues that local communities should take greater interest in education, not leave it to state. After war, he called Y. college presidents together, helped them get extra facilities to increase their enrollment 100 per cent.

a good-naturedly twitted Dewey about paying teachers such low salaries that they migrate to California. In 1946, Warren got Legislature to increase state aid to local districts and fix minimum teacher salary at $2,400. In 1947 he got another 520,000,000 for state aid to impoverished school districts; also initiated extra education for veterans so they could continue their studies on state money after Federal funds ran out. Prsident Truman has repeatedly asked Congress to pass Federal aid-to-education bill. 'No results.

That is the record of the two men at the head of the Republican identical, except in detail, with that of the at the head of the Democratic Party. It will be interesting to see what the Republican Congress does about it. Our favorite bartender is a different uum. We'd hardly know him. He curries pliers, screwdrivers and coils of wire.

"Aunt Today's Talk By Interests I am convinced a man begins the downward grade the moment that nothing interests him any more. We are kept alive by these interests, so that when they die down we start to die.

The secret is to keep a fire under our interests so that they may never give MS a chill. A man is a better shop keeper, professional man, or what-not, if he will'but cultivate one or more interests outside those that take most of his time'and which furnish him with his major income. I was amazed to learn that an old advertising friend of mine, who early gained distinction as a copy writer, took to the hobby of painting, and he showed me some excellent examples. He told me that this was his outside joy, that he only painted to give himself' inward pleasure, and in turn to be complimented by a few friends who accepted some of the paintings as gifts. None of us can have too many interests, just so long as at least one of them is sufficient to sail our frail craft safely through the troubled waters of this life.

Interests should always stir us, inspire us, and help to make us more creative. It is so important to keep the machinery of the mind in good a multitude of interests do exactly this. That's what makes youth so delightful and thrilling. Theirs is an age of wonder, of speculation, and new interests every day. As we drop our earlier interests we drop that much out of our youth.

"Besides," Carol's voice quavered a little, "I don't know what I want to do." "How about gardening?" Eph's voice rumbled beside her, and she looked at him, startled. "I hate it!

Andrew said quickly, "1 was bringing her a drink of water, 'and I tripped and splashed it on her." "Oh, I do hope you havent caught cold. Go up and take a warm bath, dear, and get right into bed." Millie turned grateful eyes on the two embarrassed men, and Ogden Sayre, his face sagged and grey-looking with worry and fatigue, said, Til never in this world be able to thank you two was she?" "Up in the hills, with -Ralph at his shack. But the important thing about that Carol either," he added.

"It's been my observation that the burnt child gets the most grease. But that's the way it is in thia world." His words brought another memory to Andrew's mind, and tie laughed suddenly.

Andrew had no trouble finding men to make the excavation for his house, but when it came to masons and carpenters, be was aot so fortunate. All the best men In those lines were already working for Baron on nis development project, and this time Andrew bad no legitimate excuse to get any of them away from the contractor.

Wylie said, seeing Him on the cleared piece of land where Andrew's first house was to rise, Td ruther be working for you, Mr. Paulson, but you see now it is," And Andrew did see, that was the trouble. In the meantime, the gondolas arrived with the lumber from the shipyard- It was splendidly weathered wood. He clambered over the freight cars, examining it, measuring it, estimating what he could get out of it, and was extraordinarily pleased with what he saw. The ends where the bolts had been would have to be sawed oft, but right," Andrew said.

"Well, we'll be running along." The trip back to town was slow. Andrew felt drained, now that the excitement was over. Besides, he could not help but wonder how long the change in Carol would last. If she had from her mother a weak streak "Well, I sure enjoyed riding to this car," Eph said mildly, getting out at bis house, when. Andrew stopped.

"I wouldn't worry none thing any builder might well envy him. Mrs. Potts said, hear you've got some prime wood, Andy." And Sayre hailed as he went by one morning. "Everybody in town is talking about your clever move, son. Seems you had a ri-al "Is the living room wainscoting oozing yet?" Andrew asked with a grin.

But he was more than a little anxious, too. yet and when it does. Til remember Tve no call for complaint," the older man Everyone, it seemed, his lumber pile on the siding, and he discovered again that the New England appreciation of a true bargain was always present to these people. He was beginning to feel the same way himself. But not entirely.

When Mrs. Potts, less disturbed this time, handed him another yellow envelope one hot July noon, he learned how much he had changed in these past few months, It was a message from Bigelow again. It read: "Am sending this for Jessup, rather than give your address. He is supervising the reconstruction of the old house into a sanitarium for tubercular patients, as per Mr. Delacourt'a will" (Andrew was amused how cleverly Bigelow had said this ao that the.

Yet tie did not feel that they Qad gone beyond their province, for ae knew that no one could do chat particular job better than tie. Nor did he feel any sorrow at the thought of turning the' handsome mansion into something aa impersonal as a sanitarium. There had been only a few rooms which nad had any sentimental value for him. He put the yellow message back into its envelope, thrust the envelope Into bis.coat pocket with a thoughtful air.

Mrs. Potts watched him anxiously. "Mr. Bigelow isn't sick, Is he?" she asked, unable to contain her curiosity' any longer. "No," Andrew answered without thinking, "he wants me to come down-to New Jersey for a big job." Mrs.

Potts was tpdignant. "What does he want to do that for? Doesn't he know you belong in Branfield The idea! Why, Andy, you wouldn't leave your velopment, and Joan, and all of us, to go down there, would you?" She was so upset at the mere thought, that he hastened to reassure her. But she sensed that his heart wasn't to it;" dfie realized that he was only talking. And Andrew, although he didn't really intend to go, could not help play-- ing with the idea for a few hours, It would mean a good fat fee It would mean that he could certainly afford to get married, and he wouldn't have to be away too long He could always come back to Branfield after the job was done He ended by dropping in at the?
