Ike Snubs Dewey
O NLY A FEW insiders know it,
but Governor Dewey has been
coldly snubbed by General Eisen
hower.
Ever since Dewey announced his
•upport for Eisenhower for the 1952
presidential nomination, the gov
ernor has tried to arrange a polit
ical chat with his prize candidate.
However, Ike artfully dodged each
overture, and has sent back word
that he was “too busy’' or “just
leaving town” or “ill."
This cold-shoulder treatment has
finally gotten under Dewey’s skin
and caused him to describe Eisen
hower in colorful—but unprintable—
language. Dewey still regards him
self as head of the Republican party
and is furious at Ike’s polite rebuff.
One of Ike’s bosom army pals ex
plained the Dewey snub this way:
“It’s all very simple," he ad
mitted to this column. “In the first
place Ike just doesn’t like Dewey.
Secondly, Ike’s political backers
have told him that the New York
delegation to the Republican con
vention is in the bag—regardless of
where Dewey stands."
The ironical twist is that
Dewey not only is committed
to Eisenhower publicly, but is
a leading supporter of Eisen*
bower’s foreign-policy point of
view inside the Republican
party.
Note—Ike’s dislike of Dewey goes
back to the spring of 1948 and the
bitter struggle over the GOP pres
idential nomination. While Ike was
flirting with the idea of accepting
a draft, he received word that the
Dewey forces were collecting a
“file" for use against Eisenhower
in case he became an active com*
petitor for the nomination.
Aiding Guerrillas
A secret decision to aid China’s
1,500,000 anti-Gommunist guerrillas
has been made by America’s top
policy group, the national security
council. Under this decision, U.S.
agents will contact guerrilla lead
ers on the mainland and offer lim
ited armed aid for raids on Com
munist strongholds and supply
lines. This plan would follow the
pattern of assistance te Greek and
Yugoslav guerrillas in World War
H.
Authentic reports from the main
land say the Chinese guerrillas,
some of them former nationalist
troops, are in actual control of vast
areas in the south and northwest
of China. With Communist defeats
In Korea, the guerrillas have
launched bold attacks throughout
China. Pekin’s red dictator, Mao
Tse-Tung, has imported Soviet ex
perts to run the “anti-bandit exter
mination campaign." Some reports
claim that up to half a million Chi
nese have been killed er arrested
in this campaign in the last year.
Meanwhile an argument still
rages inside the security coun
cil on arming, for use in Ko
rea, the 600,000 trained and
partly equipped tropps of Gen
eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek on
the island of Formosa.
The chief advocate of aid to Gen
eralissimo Chiang is General Mac-
Arthur. He cabled Washington that
with Chiang’s troops he would have
a sufficient force to drive to the
Manchurian border.
However, the opponents in the
state department and the pentagon
claim that Chiang’s troops would
desert, that Chiang is discredited
in Asia, and has no control over
the guerrillas.
H
Sopping the Gravey
While small firms have been left
out in the cold, the giant corpora
tions have been sopping up all the
gravy in defense subsidies.
Already the big companies, such
as U.S. steel, have been granted
over two billion dollars in tax sub
sidies for defense expansion. Yet
at the same time, applications from
small firms and newcomers are
gathering dust in government of-
its.
These government subsidies
are in the form of accelerated
amortisation — or rapid tax
write-offs—ou new plants which
the government approves for
the defense effort. The certify
ing agency is the national pro
duction administration, which
has been giving big business all
the breaks.
For example, U.S. steel, through
its subsidiary, Carnegie-Hlinois,
has obtained over $300,000,000 in
tax write-offs for one plant at Mor-
sville. Pa.

THOSE SPRING NYLONS
When you go to your store to buy
those spring nylons, make sure
you’re getting your money’s worth.
For with dresses getting shorter,
you’re going to be showing more
than that well-turned, nylon-clad
ankle this spring and summer! Look
first at the fabric against the light,
to make sure it’s clear. Then con
sider what you want for your money
in durability and becomingness.
The sheerness of nylon hose is a
matter of denier with the higher
the denier the lower the transpar
ency. For ordinary every-day wear,
the 30 denier are the most practical,
the 20 for run-of-the-mill occasions.
But for that special occasion—a
night out, the Anniversary celebra
tion, the club dance, a 15 denier
will give that ultra sheer look so
flattering to every woman. Such is
woman’s vanity, that 70 per cent of
the hose sold is 15 denier.
Be sure to get your right size, not
only in foot length, but in propor
tions. Most of the hose sold in your
stores are in three lengths, short,
medium and long, to suit every
build. To avoid that aggravating
last-minute run, hose should be long
enough and have a deep enough
weld at the top. How to care for
nylons? Ask the clerk who sells
’em, rpad directions, and above all,
wear ’em!
74-Year-Old Small
Town M.D. Is Family
Doctor of the Year
CANTON, Mass.—Dr. Dean Sher
wood Luce, 74, a small town physi
cian who put out his shingle here
in 1905, was named “the family
doctor of 1950" by the American
Medical Association.
The selection was made from
family doctors nominated by coun
ty medical societies in the small
communities over the nation.
Back in 1905, Dr. Luce performed
operations on the kitchen table. At
that time a visit to his office cost
50 cents, a call at the home $1,
and the fee was $8 for delivering a
baby.
In several cases he has delivered
three generations of babies in the
same family. “When it comes to
the fourth generation, I’m going to
quit." his friends quote him as say
ing.
“Everybody hollers ‘Hi!’ at me
when I go down main street, and
it’s a great satisfaction to know
you have so many friends," Dr.
Luce says.
Friends describe him as soft
spoken, mild mannered, not ro
bust, but durable and full of en
ergy.
The son of a Yankee sea captain,
he was a captain in the medical
corps in World War I, and served
on the selective service board in
Canton in the last war. He has long
been avcive in the local and state
medical societies.
“If a man begins to consider the
dollar that is in the practice of
medicine, he is making a failure
ot the practice of medicine," Dr.
Luce has said.
“Some doctors have promoted ar
guments for socialized medicine by
overcharging patients and failing

TWO JOBS FOR PRICE OF ONE
T HE TIME you spend—or save—
on your homework is as impor
tant as the money, and if you can
do two jobs at once, it’s real econo
my! Suppose you’re ironing this
week’s sheets, and
find a long rip from
selvage to selvage?
Mend first, and then
iron? Or go ahead
and iron, and mend
tonight to the ac
companiment of the
radio? Why not
have some hot ironing vape on tap
—your store has it—or even common
old adhesive tape, and mend as you
iron, and save valuable time? Even
slight tears in upholstery can be
mended with adhesive tape inserted
behind the tear. Just draw the torn
pieces together into place, and hold
a lukewarm iron against the mend
ed spot.
Then, when you turn on that fa
vorite program tonight, you can
catch up on the missing buttons.
While you’re about it, do you know
a fine way to make those buttons

SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS
of Main Street and the World
Labor Adopts Grass Roots Program;
Revision of Farm Parity Suggested
GRASS ROOTS MANIFESTO—Seven hundred small town unionists
met in Washington recently, adopted a seven point manifesto, and de
parted for the Main Streets of America determined to marshal the sup
port of consumer groups, including ladies’ clubs, service clubs and
farm organizations behind their program.
The home town unionists based their manifesto on the thesis of
“equality of sacrifice for all groups." In a statement issued at the
close of their meeting the group stated: “We are shocked by the cruel
disregard being shown for the interests of everyday American families.
We are shocked by the privilege and favoritism bestowed on a single
group—big business."
One of the major points of the “grass roots" labor program: “Labor,
the farmers, small business and independent consumer groups must be
given full representation on all mobilization and stabilization agencies at
the policy-making and administrative levels. By so doing, the govern
ment can inspire renewed public confidence and public support of con
trols which otherwise will be hard to take.”
MAIN STREET ECONOMY—Although the situation is not too clear
at the moment, there seems to be shaping up in congress a battle
over the administration’s budget that will strike at the Main Street level

of the nation before it touches many other
segments.
The joint congressional committee, which
imported on the nation’s economy and the
proposed budget, recommended a new
study of farm-price supports and reduc
tion of federal gqgnts to states.
Specifically, the report cited next year's
budget estimate of $2,883,000,000 in fed
eral grants to states for highways, public
welfare, health, school lunches, agricul
tural-extension services and agricultural
experiment stations, vocational rehabili
tation, airports, and other services. All
of these services are on the Main Street
level and a cut will be felt immediately
in the home towns of the nation.
Of all the questions considered in the
report, farm parity was the most explosive.
The report declared that legislative rem
edies must be sought to correct a condi
tion which now exists by which prices
x increasing the cost of living and fire cost
of defense are geared to the industrial
practices which have for many years
driven up prices of industrial commodities.
Farm parity,. invented at the depths of
the 'depression, is geared to the price of
industrial commodities. Revision and
modernization of file law win undoubtedly
be one of the big questions facing the con
gress.
HIGHER STILL—Every time the bu
reau of labor statistics announces its in
dex figures on the cost of living they are
always higher, even as administration of
ficials repeat the old refrain that leveling-
off is “just around the corner."
The bureau’s newest figures reported the
cost of living up 1.3 per cent, setting an
other record. *1116 figure was pegged at
183.8 per cent of the 1935-39 base period.
This was 8 per cent higher than the level
of June, 1950, before the Korean fighting
began, and 9.5 per cent above a year ago.
Meanwhile, there were indications that
the people in the home towns may be de
veloping some consumer resistance to high
prices. The commerce department re
ported a 3 per cent decline in retail sales.
Department store sales were reported
down 4 per cent.
Unofficial reporta told of a slackening
of , consumer buying, possibly because
many persons had stocked up heavily last
year and possibly because of price climbs.
THE BORROWER— Russia flatly re
fused recently to return 670 American
naval and cargo ships she “borrowed"
under the World War n lend-lease pro
gram. The Soviet went so far ag to state
that the United States really does not need
the ships.
Reduced to a common denominator, it
is like a home town neighbor borrowing
your lawn mower and refusing to return
it after h£ has clipped his lawn, and hav
ing the nerve to tell you you don’t need it
anyway, because your lawn doesn’t need
cutting.
The ships are only one of the lend-lease
problems with Russia. The Soviet still
has an over-all $11 billion unsettled lease-
lend account with this nation.

MACARTHUR UNDER FIRE— Gen.
Douglas MacArthur, who seems to have a
knack of making controversial statements,
again threw the state department and the
United Nations into an uproar when he
asserted he stood ready at any time to
confer in the field with the commander in
chief of the Chinese and North Korean
forces to end the war and “find any mil
itary means whereby the realization of
the political objectives of file United Nations in Korea, to which no nation
may justly take exceptions, might be accomplished without further blood
shed."
The. state department immediately asked the defense department
and the White House to curb the general’s authority to issue diplomatic
overtones. The controversy was taken up in the U.N. and MacArthur
was criticized by British and French newspaper.
Strong-willed MacArthur, who does not believe in hiding his genius
under a blanket, had nothing to say about the criticism of his latest
statement. If the state department and the United Nations persist in
their demands that MacArthur be silenced permanently, it might mean
that pipe-smoking Doug will have his wings clipped for the first time
in his long career.
DRAFT CALL CUT—Home town draft boards were notified that
their April quotas had been cut in half. The army ordered a quota of
40,000 for the month instead of the previously announced 80,000. Enlist
ments, running higher than were anticipated, and fewer casualties in
Korea than had been feared were given as reasons for the change in the
induction rate.
The army at latest reports was only about 100,000 men short of its
present goal of 1,500,000 men.
Meanwhile, a congressional spokesman said the army should be able
to halt the draft within 18 months and set up its universal-military-train
ing program.
THE AMERICAN FARMER
Form Plant Value Pegged at 91 Million
American farmers now own 91 bil
lion dollars worth of land, buildings,
live stock and equipment This
gigantic food “factory" turned out
approximately 30 billion, dollars
worth of produce in 1950, or a third
of the value of the “plant" itself.
In 1900 and even in 1910, American
agriculture produced only a sixth
of its own physical value in a year.
Even in prosperous 1929 it produced
a little less than one-fourth of its
“plant value,” a recent survey re
vealed.
The farmer has accomplished
these gains through a 900 per cent
increase in his investment in tools
and machinery since 1900, and by
use of better methods, better seed,
better livestock, and mdre fertilizer,
the report stated.
