of the sit-down strikes, the “red orge,” the Communist who held Roosevelt in his grip, and the subversive influence which seeks to set up the Soviet system in the United States. Why did Lewis break with Roosevelt, upon whom he expended his energy and some $500,000 of his union's money in 1936? In his speech Friday night he gave three main reasons. The first was that he expected by his contributions in 1936 to be rewarded with a coalition between the Democratic Party and “labor,” meaning himself, to the exclusion of other representatives of labor. The schism between Roosevelt and Lewis opened during the sit-down strikes in the automobile industry early in 1937. Roose-= velt was bitterly rebuked by most of the press, which now welcomes Lewis’ support of Willkie, for hésitating to condemn the sit-down strikes. But he was excoriated by Lewis for failing to throw the full support of the power of the Federal Government - behind Lewis. The same situation arose again in the “little steel” strike. Roosevelt was condemned alike by the antiunion press and by the C. I. QO. leadership. Lewis hit the stratosphere ‘when Roosevelt said “a plague on both your houses.” 2 8 = OR almost four years the same story has. been repeated many times. Roosevelt has been condemned by the opponents of C. I. O. for being too favorable for Lewis, and condemned by Lewis for not delivering on the line everything requested by Lewis. | _ There is no room .here to outline the whole sequence. It suffices to report that Roosevelt could have had Lewis’ active support within the last 10 days if he had been willing to pay the price. Roosevelt would not pay the price. Lewis recited two other main reasons for voting againgt Roosevelt. One was Roosevelt's failure to” produce full economic recovery, and his apparent slighting recently of domestic reforms. On several occasions this column has justified Lewis’ postion as against Roosevelt's on this count. But what Willkie has to offer in these respects that Roosevelt doesn’t is highly speculative. From Willkie we have had only promises to protect the New Deal reforms—some ‘of which he attacked in word and deed before being nominated, and which are bitterly opposed now by many of his supporters. Roosevelt’s devotion to the reforms is proved. He fought the Old Guard in his own party savagely and persistently to obtain and preserve such monumental gaing for labor as the NRA and the Wage and Hour Act. | Lewis’ third reason for opposition to Roosevelt was that he will

O the observer of the phenomena of politics, the most joyous experience of the last 10 days of the campaign will be the comment of the pro-Willkie newspapers and columnists (which means all but a tiny handful of them) and of the pro-Willkie Democrats and Will he be the noble American, the patriotic leaderyof the working man? Or will he still be the father

whom Lewis indorses, has approved every major point ‘in the Roosevelt foreign policy. f J ” ” . Wine effect will Lewis’ speech have on the election? This is just a guess. Five of the six vice presidents of C. I. O. have already come out for Roosevelt, and the sixth has condemned Willkie. Lewis may hurt Roosevelt a little in Penngylvania, New York, and Michigan, among the doubtful states. But this may be offset elsewhere by his indorse-

ment of Willkie. Willkie apparently has made promises which Lewis could not exact from Roosevelt. What effect will Lewis’ indorsement have on C. I. O.? Sidney Hillman and Philip Murray, the two wisest C. I. O. leaders, are already for Roosevelt. The fact that they have enjoyed the President's confidence to a greater dey gree than Lewis undoubtedly ha goaded Lewis. ’ Lewis has promised to resign as head of the C. I. O. if Roosevelt is elected. In the words of one shrewd observer: “That is just the old gag: ‘You can’t fire me because I've quit.” me

FRENCH LICK, Ind. Oct. 29 (U. P.).—A defined waiting period prior to final issuance of marriage licenses in Indiana was advocated today by Dr. Thurman B. Rice, chief of the Bureau ot Public Health

Education, and Clyde Culbertson, chief of the State Bureau of Bacteriology and Pathology. Both were attending Lhe €6th annual convention of the Indiana State Medical Association here. A definite waiting period would result in more happy marriages, Dr. Rice said, as couples would have the necessary understanding of the biological facts involved. . Dr. Culbertson urged engaged couples to acquaint themselves with the facts on venereal disease by submitting to the pre-marital medical examination blood tests at an early date rather than waiting “un=til the last minute.” Dr. E. K. Musson, chief of the department of communicable diseases of the Chicago Health Board, told the Indiana health officers’ conference held in connection with the medical convention, that public health officers should spend more time educating the public on com-

ganization. Ina session which lasted almost two hours this morning, the antipest folks took up the questions of termites in a clinic divided into the following sections: Termite interview, - termite motion picture, new problems in termite control and soil tests’ motion picture. This afternoon the association heard several talks on the business of promotion. Association officers will be elected tomorrow morning and the annual banquet will close the convention tomorow evening.,

“Some of the present rules and regulations on such diseases are not in line with what we know ‘of life histories of the diseases we are seeking to control. “The entire structure needs streamlining, measuring up, to the new knowledge we have acquired of communicable diseases,” he concluded.
