POST-DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,1910.

STORK BILL (ContiniiPd From Pagp One)' from home at an important period in their family life, this EMIC program is the biggest health plan for mothers and children ever undertaken in this country. Frim its beginning to July first this year, a total of 1,269,000 cases had been authorized for care by State health agencies. Half the doctors of the country and nearly 90 per cent of the hospitals, at the peak of the program, were helping to make his health plan the huge success it has been. Applications for maternity care for servicemen’s wives and for medical and hospital care for their babies who become sick during their first year will continue to be accepted until six months after the official close of the war. Wives of servicemen recently discharged may also apply for care if at any time during their pregnancy or during the baby’s first year, their husbands were in the 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th grades of the Armed Forces, or were aviation cadets. Record Improved. Behind this program from its start has been the U. S. Children’s Bureau which has done so much in its 34 years to help remake this country from one with a poor record of material and infant mortality into one with a record that compares not unfavorably with other nations. But the Children’s Bureau, headed by Katherine F. Lenroot, distinguished authority in the field of children’s problems, is still not satisfied. Through its long-time maternal and child health, crippled children’s and child welfare programs, the Bureau is constantly helping the Slates to improve services for mothers and children. The first Bureau to be created by any government with the responsibility of watching after the well-being of children, the U. S. Children’s Bureau has .had large influence in the development of child-health and childwelfare services in other countries, particularly in the Americas. , On July 16, under the Presiderit’s Reorganizaztion Plan No. 2, the Children’s Bureau left its 33-year home in the Department of Labor to join forces with the Federal Security Agency. o

It will piece together a complete and consistent picture of the economic state of the Nation. The next function of the Council will be to interpret all available facts and then to present the soundest possible diagnosis as to the state of the Naion’s economic health. “Or country is capable of maintaing an economy free from the evils both of inflation and deflation. With such an economy, our country can go forward to greater heights of prosperity and full employment than have yet been achieved. This policy must be predicated upon a program of fair dealing and justice for all our people. “The Councill will be in a pt>^ition to present to the Nation a clearer and more comprehensive analysis than we have ever had regarding the economic state of the Nation and all factors which tend to retard prosperity.” MISSOURIAN (Continued From Page One) use was in the vetoing of what is known as the Wheeler-Reed Railroad bill whose opponents described it as “hybrid legislation” and “a crap-shooter’s bill.” As enacted, it has some of the evils of the pernicious Bulwinkle bill, which was designed to free the railroads from anti-trust prosecution (the present bill frees them from court interferences for 18 months, during which they can reorganize): and as President Truman in his veto message stated, it fails to provide full protection against forfeiture of securities and investments. Some $2' billion of stocks are involved. In addition to this wise use of the veto, in behalf of the people of the country, as against corporations and utilities, there is the Tidelands Bill, which President Truman vetoed last week. This is the measure on the strength of which Ickes resigned. Its passage' by Congress was nothing more or less than a “bowing to the oil lobby and voting to give the rich tideland oil shelf away — ostensibly to the states, but in actuality , to the oil interests who have long

Next November American votters go to the polls to elect an entire new membership of the House of Representatives, and 34 members of the Senate. Control of the Congress is at stake in these elections. Continuation of Democratic control of Congress is esential to a continuation of progressive, liberal government. Given the information, the American voter exercises his ballot wisely. This has been proven time and time again. It is for this reason that The Democrat is printing the voting records of certain Republican members of the Congress. Their vot-* ing records show how they have consistently voted against the American people. In printing these records no attempt has been made to be other than factual. A voter could get the same information by reviewing the Congressional Record for the past several years. The records being printed in this issue should be of direct concern to voters in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington, Iowa, Wyoming and Minnesota. MASSACHUSETTS.

eyed this area of the public domain with predatory leers,” as one Washington correspondent stated it. The whole question is now in the hands of the U. S. Supreme Court, and for Congress to act before the Court’s decision was in efect an attempt to take the Court’s power of final judicial opinion from it. President Truman’s veto of this bill was all the more courageous in view of his previous defense of Pauley at the rime of the latter’s nomination for Secretary of the Treasury—Pauley being on the side of the oil interests. . . Truman showed equal courage, and steadfastness for the interests of the great majority of the people, when he vetoed the “unworkable” Taft - style OPA bill, and the Case anti-labor bill.

piled under the supervision of Dr. James Rowland Angell, president

emeritus of Yale.

Most of the historical speeches of Mr. Roosevelt, from his first inaugural address on March 4, 1933, (“. . . . the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”) to his March 1, 1945 report to Congress on the Crimea Conference, (“.... I hope that you will pardon me for an unusual posture of sitting down . . .”) are represented in the excerpts that can be played on home-type phonographs and rec-

ord-players.

The stinging defeat suffered by Repu-olican Party for going against the people’s demand for effective price control will reecho loudly next November, according to all reports coming into Democratic National Committee headquarters since the adjournment of the 79th Congress. Senators and Representatives, back in their home states, have felt the temper of the people, and report that voters everywhere still are angered by the GOP’s flagrant efforts to sell them out. When consumers go to the polls November 6 this anger, translated into votes, will be directed at those reactionary legislators who went down the line for the National Association of Manufac-

turers.

There can be no doubt that OPA will be a main campaign issue in the coming Congressional elections. The people weren’t fooled, and the taste of Republican “the-sky’s-the-limit” economy they had in the 25 OPA-less days in July is still bitter in their mouths. The taste will remain there, too, as consumers in the months between now and November watch anxiously to see if the OPA bill, which President Truman signed “reluctantly” as the best bill that could be worked out because of Republican opposition, can actually work. Bill Can Work Paul A. Porter, Price Administrator, says the bill can work; that it can prevent “runaway inflation,” although some price increases must result from provisions forced into the bill by Republican legislators when the bill was in conference. Both the President and the price administrator have asked for the active co-operation of all America to see that this bill works, so that the nation will have an orderly transition from a wartime to a free economy. The Republican plot against the people, their plot to wreck OPA, ' bring on runaway inflation, and then yell at voters “The Democrats Done It!” was spotted early. There was no doubt that the GOP leadership was hoping to win next November’s election at the expense of the people. That was their strategy,* a “people be damned” strategy, to gain their selfish ends. But that strategy backfired. Democratic leaders saw what was going on. A couraegous President, acting for the benefit of the nation, vetoed a Republican-writ-ten price control bill that reeked of the phony. And then the cry went up. The cry by which the Republicans helped to fool the people and win the election. “Truman has killed price control,” screamed Senator Taft “The Democrats have brought on inflation,” echoed Senator Wherry of Nebraska, Representative Crawford of Michigan, and a host of other Republicans fronting for big business. Brazilla Carrol Reece, the GOP’s new chairman, took up the chant, and cried it across the na-

tion.

But the people weren’t fooled. Capitol Hill was inundated with

the angry protests of American consumers. The GOP was caught with its plot down. Senator Eugene D. Millikin, Republican of Colorado, complained. He complained that the National Association of Manufacturers hadn’t done enough to defeat OPA. Why hadn’t they spent more money to further their interests and the interests of their front men in Congress. Why, he said, they had spent only $400,000 to bring higher prices to the housewife’s budget- What was the matter, he asked—why didn’t 1 they take the moths out of their

pocketbooks?

Fortunately for Senator Millikin, he isn’t coming up for reelection next fall, a fact that no doubt was in the fore of his thinkinfi as he bent every effort to go against the wishes of his consti-

tutents.

Not .so fortunate, however, for those Republican Congressmen who are coming up for re-election

next November.

Urge Rye Pasture for Dairy Feeding Jay County Dairymen, where ever possible, should provide rye pasture to offset higher prices for dairy feeds during the fall and winter, points out H. K. Rippey, County Agricultural Agent, This crop extends the pasture season several weeks in the fall and shortens the stable feeding period again in the spring. Many dairymen are finding the Balbc variety a great improvement over the ordinary kind as it makes rapid growth and produces a high percentage of leaves. Grazing may be continued right up to milking time with much less danger of producing off-flavors in the milk. Those who grow sudan grass for summer pasture may utilize this same acreage to produce a

Democrats throughout the na- C1 °P lye. Some Indiana dairy-

tion have been called upon to keep this OPA issue alive. The Democratic National Committee has prepared the OPA voting records of all Republican candidates. Those recorus tell in the Republican’s own “yeas” and “nays” the story of how they voted against the people. Those records are in the hands of Democratic candidates. Democratic State Chairmen, Democratic National be used — used by the American

Committeemen.

And those records are going to people, for the good of the Amer-

ican people.

A field near the barn, is handy when a few extra loads of manure can be spared and according to these dairymen are making more milk per acre since starting this practice than was ever produced before, with no worry about bloat.

Twindows Take a Ride

PITTSBURGH, PA. — During the war specially engineered multiple glazed units on B-29’s and other aircraft helped make Allied planes superior. These units were designed for insulation value as well as vision and protection. The techniques used in making such windshields have been employed since the war in developing a double glazed insulating window known as Twindow for the home. During tests of the new insulating window, to determine resistance to atmospheric pressure changes, several were flown to high altitudes in a plane. Hostesses Mariana Bruner and Betty Atkinson are shown holding two of the Twindows units.
