Rap Socialized
Party Hopes Exceed '46, Brewster Says At Editors’ Meeting
By ROBERT BLOEM Y Times Politics Editor
An Indiana Republican Editorial meeting yesterday became the springboard for a
cialized medicine” in the coming election campaign. In keeping with Hoosier tradition, the editors’ meeting -had little to do with the business of editing. The daylong session of generating political steam ended with a speech by Sen. Owen
Brewster of Maine attacking democrats - from still other angles.
High spot of the show for the hundreds of non-editing politicians who were there was Sen. Brewster's optimistic statement that GOP prospects were better than in 1946 when they swept both houses of Congress. Summary of Actions The day's events went like this: . ONE—Party leaders, including Sen. William E. Jenner and the state’s four Republican Representatives in Congress, submitted to a grilling of “grassroots” questions at a luncheon. TWO—Walter Bligh, GOP national committee, outlined to the state committee ways and means to organize the medical profession
the health issue. THREE -— An Anderson surgeon, Dr. James Doenges, said doctors are “scared to death” by the threat of “socialized medi‘cine.” He urged the confidential relationship between doctor and patient be used to build voter sentiment against it, FOUR—Seventeen GOP congressional candidates, . including the four incumbents, &dopted a -three-pronged resolutiod supporting the recent party statement of principals and pl a last. ditch fight against the Brannan farm plan and “socialized medicine in any form.” FIVE—Sen. Brewster charged Democrat tariff policies are undermining the American worker's standard of living and depriving him of jobs. on In answer to a question on the Brannan Plan at the luncheon, Rep. Ralph Harvey of the 10th district charged it was not a plan for the farmers. He told editors and visitors the plan is esgentially an appeal to “city voters” and is “%“pad for the farmers.” To another question, Sen. Jen-

Frantic Plea for Home Young Woman Is Determined | _To Keep Law-Given Children |

“I CAN'T give up my babies.” A strange story of mother love walked torial room. From the lips of the slight, soft-spoken, attractive | brufiét came the halting story of fierce, determined love for two children not hers by warm blood but by cold law.

PETER MARSHALL | FOREWORD
There are no other sermons like Peter Marshall's. For there was no other man like Peter Marshall. The beloved chaplain of the United States Senate. Peter Marshall passed away recently at the age of 46. He had attained a national reputation at an age when most clergymen are still unknown. ; The Indianapolis Times during the Lenten season is publishing the richest passages from Peter Marshall's most vigorous sermons. They were preached in Washington's historic New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. They were addressed to the man he called “Mr. Jones,” to the multitude of clerks and taxi drivers, butchers and housewives, motormen and the lonely girl tn the-hospital ward. nr Taken from the book, “Mr. Jones, Meet the Master,” the sermons preserve the emphasis of his words, by a special typographical style. The manuscripts are J cremted exactly as Peter prepared them. Yhe reader may find them more effective if they are read aloud. =
