. BRADENTON, Fla., April 17.—The other day I noticed in the paper that the Census Bureau estimates there are close to a million Americans living in trailers. Upon reading that, I took off two minutes in silent thanks at not being one of them, and then hied me forth to find somebody who was. The first trailer I peeked into had six in it!

It is sitting here in the Bra-

denton Trailer Park, along with several hundred others. The occupants are Mr. and Mrs. Tom Emerton and four of their eight children. The Emertons are ret - tired and Mr. Riley's ‘life was hard compared to theirs. 3 Tom Emerton was a Navy man, a machinist. In 1925 he was retired for disability, although still quite young. He was retired on. his wartime rank of lieutenant, which makes a pretty good income. He spent months in the Naval Hospital at San Diego with T. B. But it's all gone now. He is big and darkly tanned. The Emertons lived in San Diego for 10 years after he retired. But Tom got sick of it and built himself a trailer. Four years ago they started out. They Sold their house behind them. They've spent Svery ‘winter ‘since ‘then in Bradenton. They go north in summers. The four oldest children are married and living “in San Diego. The four youngest are in school here. The eldest is Ruth, a high-school senior, and the others run down to Florence, who is 13. The kids like it here, but they still can't understand the Southern talk of one of their teachers.

France, however, has already begun to clean house. Unlike the United States, she stands with her back to the wall. Her very existence as a nation is in danger. Thus some of her politicos who are known to prefer Moscow to Paris, and who were permitted before the war to say so have been arrested, tried and locked up for safe-keeping pending the return of peace.

Simpson Pledges Fight on ‘Purge,’ but Leaves Door Open for Switch.

By LYLE WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, April 17.—Re-

publican National Committeeman Kenneth F. Simpson today is a potential recruit for the stop-Dewey movement after a promise here that he will not be deprived of New. York State party leadership “without a hell of a fight.” * Mr. Simpson said the supporters of District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey were attempting to purge ‘him in New York State in a maneuver similar to that President Roosevelt directed against several antiNew Deal legislators in 1938. The state casts 92 convention votes. The New York National Committeeman’s statement attracted wide om | interest. He seemed eager to qualify "it sufficiently to enable him to go along with the nomination of Mr. Dewey for President if the Republican National Convention bolts in that direction: But he also smiled his consent to the inference drawn by his questioners that he might be leading a stop-Dewey movement in New York State before the convention June 24. Stassen Is Keynoter

Republican Party leaders, includ-

; {ing Mr. Simpson, came here as a

France, would do such a thing. The New York WorldTelegram received 18 such in one mail. The gist of those received by me is about as follows: Some 36 Communist deputies have been tried by a court martial and given prison terms. Nine others have been sentenced, in absentia, after conviction on charges of treason. In view of the fact that 15 per cent of the French electorate voted the Communist ticket four years ago and won 72 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, the letters ask, why does France do such a thing? France's answer is that today she is fighting for her life. She can not take chances. These Third Internationalists were known to be taking orders from Moscow. And Moscow, in league with Berlin, is trying to -destroy France. Any country—besieged as France is at this moment—that will knowingly permit treasonable activities to continue unchecked within its own citadel is asking for the fate of Norway.

All Nubions Alert ~.

A handful of traitors in key positions in Norway are said to have spiked the guns of the fleet and collaborated: with the invading Nazis. Allowed full freedom of action by the democratic ‘government of Norway, this little band opened the country’s gates to the enemy so completely that less than 1500 Nazis took Oslo without firing a shot. The French Government, I am told, possessed information showing that Communist - leaders were plotting the defeat of France. Some fled the country as soon as war was declared. Others stayed on and reorganized the party as an underground movement after it was outlawed. A’few, disiHusioned by Stalin’s bargain with Hitler, broke with the party, joined the army, and patriotically stayed on to fight for their country. Norway’s experience, diplomatic observers here frankly admit, will hardly make life easier for those whose job it is to bore from within—particularly within the nations of Europe. Even the democracies, they say grimly, are going to have to keep a close watch on ideological termites if they expect to survive.

Washington

WASHINGTON, April 17.—Out of the spread of the war to Scandinavia the argument.is taking shape over here that we ought to get into this thing and help stop Hitler before he comes to America. The case is being stated with some caution at the moment, out of deference to public sentiment, but you may be sure that if the idea meets with a friendly reception the argument will grow bold and come out full force in a cry for going to war in Europe. The argument gains plausibility because it is placed on the ground of self-interest, which is the only basis upon which our foreign policy should be considered. Briefly, the argument is this: Having taken Denmark, Hitler may claim Denmark's posIf he takes Holland, he may

i claim Dutch possessions in the Western Hemisphere, * which would place him near the Panama Canal. Only

the British Navy and the French Army stand in the way of our having to face Hitler over these matters. If Hitler defeats the Allies, then we shall have to

a slight editing of the final sentence to read: “The United States must join the fray as the only way in which it can protect its own interests.” Before we are too far gone down that line of thinking, I want to know some answers. 1. Twenty years ago Germany was beaten to her knees and stripped of her army and navy. If in that short time England and France have ‘allowed their traditional enemy to’ get beyond control and must have our Navy (or Army) to save themselves, thén it means we must reconcile ourselves to remaining in Europe indefinitely as a military force in order to | bolster up the Allies and help them maintain their dominance. Otherwise the same forces which rose out of the last war would rise again, and the present experience would be repeated. » »

The Pacific Outlook

2. Would it be to our interest to divert a considerable portion of our naval or military force to Europe and neglect the Pacific? What is Japan going to do if Germany goes into Holland? She probably would like to snatch the Dutch East Indies and whatever else is loose around there. That would place Japan in control of our principal sources of rubber and tin. If we are going info Europe, we must turn our back on the Pacific and abandon all semblance of interest there. 3. We have the Western Hemisphere to safeguard. That is our first essential. It must be safeguarded in both a military and an economic way. That will cost money, and require much attention and delicate work. It is a task which should not be interfered with by the complications which our participation in a European war would create, Strong hemisphere defense means that no European power can hope to gain a new foothold on this gide of the Atlantic. We have to fear, not military invasion, but economic and political invasion of the Americas.

He furnished me with some figures which I shall have to verify to make sure that I understand him correctly, for if I do, there is no question but what industry could well afford to help the youth of this nation to adjust itself to ‘the proper jobs. He feels that much of the turnover in industry today is due to the fact that workers are not in the jobs which they are really fitted to perform, and he gave figures of the cost to industry of this maladjustment.

Break for Dewey?

Some case might be made out for the theory that Governor Stassen’s selection was a good break for Mr. Dewey. It might be argued that if the Republicans are willing to permit a youngster to keynote their most important convention since 1920 they might be of a mind to take a young man, such as Mr. Dewey, for a 1940 party leader. The District Attorney is campaigning on a transcontinental journey while Mr. Simpson returns to New York to fight the purge. -

any Presidential candidate into the purge debate,” Mr, Simpson said here, “but I'm not going to. be purged or blitzkrieged without a hell of a fight.” Mr. Simpson’s frequent emphasis upon his “present plan” to keep the question of Presidential candidates out of the New York State party row caused his questioners to infer that he might alter his tactics before convention time to make a direct fight on Mr. Dewey Mr. Simpson did not deny it. But neither would he say how he would vote on the first ballot here in June.

May Be Serious Blow

This defection in New York State, however, may be a serious blow to Mr. Dewey.. Both Frank E. Gan-

‘Inett, publisher, and Wendell Willkie,

public utilities executive, may harvest some early ballot votes from the Simpson-Dewey discord. If a substantial stop-Dewey movement in. New York could be lined up with the general desire of all other Republican Presidential contenders to check the younger man’s drive, the anti-Dewey forces might have something. As it stands, stopping Mr. Dewey seems to be up to Senator Robert A. Taft (R. O.), whose managers insist he will come here next June with more delegates than any other candidate.

work when they reported to their inspectors early this morning. They appealed to Works Board President Louis C. Brandt, but he refused to countermand orders of Streets Commissioner Wilbur Winship. Mr. Winship said he ordered the men laid off because of the wet weather, which made it impossible to grade wet streets, the work the gang normally does. Mr. Winship explained that this year’s gas tax funds from which the street gang paid was $40,000 under last year. He said it was impossible to employ the men to the city’s best advantage without periodic layoffs. “I laid the men off because I thought there would be much more work for them to do when the weather is warmer and the ground is dry,” he said. “We would like to give them as much work as we can but that is impossible under our budget setup.” Leaders of the street crew said the men are paid only $3.60 a day and that. it is impossible for them to earn enough to support their families adequately unless they get a minimum of five days work a week.

diana Association Session Urged: to Aid ‘Outside’ Care of Patients.

The centrol of tuberculosis appears to be far in the future, Dr. J, H. Stygall, Indianapolis physician, today told the 29th annual conference of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association.

He was one of the speakers at the closing sessions of the two-day con< ference which began yesterday. The Association was to elect directors this afternoon. = Dr. Stygall told delegates that in spite of all admitted advances made in the detection, prevention, and cure of the disease in the last seve eral yeaps, the maintenance of the nation’s .hospital beds for tuberculosis ‘patients still costs $70, 009,000 annually.

Urges ‘Outside’ Tresimeis

He urged that much could still be done through treatment of patients who are unable to get into institutions because there are no empty

beds. He said the medical profession has learned in the last few years that a physician. specially trained in the treatment of the disease can produce about. the same effects in any climate. It earlier was believed that patients reacted best in resort climates. Seventy-five per “cent of all cases recently admitted to the country’s sanatoriums were advanced hopeless cases, he said. Dr. Woodson 8S. Carlisle, South Bend, Association president, called the conference’s attention to the fact that 1412 persons have died of the disease in Indiana in the last year. Importance Stressed

“Tuberculosis, once the chief. cause of death, is still a chief cause of death,” he said. “It is still the hief cause of death in three groups of our population—young people from 15 to 40, industrial workers and Negroes. *Tuberculosis never will be come pletely eliminated as a disease une til the last case has been discovered and cured or arrested, and until it has been definitely ascertained that neither it nor any previously ars rested case will break down. “One great aid of the individual layman in this cause will be to have a complete physical examination, including a.chest X-ray by a come petent physician, at least once a year.”
