EDITORIAL COMMENT
Standards of Care
The other day we came across an inter-
* ,ling story about an operating table.
The reason is this: It illustrates that
w k m government becomes the boss of med-
i';»1 practice whether through outright so-
< i li/ation or some other form of ■dominn-
t:on-—-the standards of care inevitably de-
cline.
Nor is that just, a theoretical argument,
lh*fore we tel! you about the table, let us
mention that we have all learned something
(torn Ibitain’s socialized medicine program,
nb-ervors after observers has reported that
doctors have been grossly overworked, that
there has been a dangerous decline in time
and facilities for research, and the masses
■ f patients have been receiving inadequate
cmie. In addition, the taxpayers have l>een
socked hard to meet the costs.
An interesting sidelight on Communist
medicine, which is 100 per cent government
_ dictated .comes from Mart N. Stephens, a
r 1'nblir Affairs Officer for the U. S. Informa-
tion Agency, who recently returned from a
tour of duty in Salonika, Greece. At the
Salonika International Trade Fair the So-
viets had a huge propaganda exhibit design-
ed to show the superiority of Russian gootls
Mini services. Many of the wares on exhibit,
he said, were inferior to those presently on
1 he Greek market. Then he added: “An
American Naval medical officer who visited
the Russians exhibit with me said that the
operating room equipment was similar to
that used by the American doctors thirty
>cars ago. He pointed out an operating talde
where,the doctor had to crawl back and
forth under it to adjust it.”
That operating table is symbolic of what
happens when government takes over, and
power-hungry bureaucrats make the deci-
sions and give the orders.
Here’s hoping we profit from such ole
servations. >'•

Christmas decorating here in Iannis, un-
der the sponsorship of the Trade Develop-
ment Committee of the Chamber of Com-
merce, has been splendid this season and we
believe that we may look forward with con-
fidence to next year’s expanding to many
more homes, stores and institutions, so en-
joyable has the program been this time . . .
To us, it is a very definite—and important—
symbol of civic pride.
Neighbor: “My wife is prolonging her
holiday. I need her at home, but it seems
useless to write suggesting that she return.”
Other neighbor: “Get one of the neigh-
bors to suggest it !”—(Bruce Mag.)
At this time of year, or shortly there-
after, we begin considering what the year
ahead may bring . . . for our town, for us
individually. Of course, one is considerably
linked with the other, And when we come
around to making New Year’s resolutions,
let’s not overlook the importance to resolv-
ing to assist whenever possible any worthy
community enterprise.

Ry DREW PEARSON
Washington.—At his recent meeting
with congressional chiefs President Eisen-
hower was trying to decide whether to de-
liver his state of Die union message to Con-
gress on the (itli or 7th of January.
“Either day suits me
I okay, but I’ll be glad to make
it on the 6th if you want me
[to,” Ike told the leaders.
“That sounds good to
I me,” remarked Speaker Sam
Rayburn of Texas. “Mv birti)-
Jda.v is January 6th. We can
(adjourn right after your mes-
l.-.tit .Old the House will be
(spared the tributes usually ac-
corded me by m.v colleagues.
“Okav, let’s make it on the 6th,” agreed
"’ftotgoing Speaker Joe Martin, amid chuckles.
“But we’re not going to let your birthday
Z bass without some oratory, Sam. We’ll give
you the tributes on January 5th.”
• Note—Rayburn will be 73.
—Kit Clardy’s Swan Song—
'ur There’s an interesting story behind the
. swan-song statement of Congressman Kit
< lardy of Michigan that “a gigantic” net-
* work of Communists still operates in the
* State and Labor Departments.
In the first place, Kit Clardy was one of
the three McCarthyite congressmen, all Re-
publicans, to be defeated in the recent elec-
tion. Second, lie offered to work free for the.
committee on un-American activities if they
■" would keep him on as a staff member. He
wanted the prestige of v/itch-hunting with
the committee, but they refused.
Third, the mysterious witness whom
Clardy quotes, Spencer Miller Jr., of New
Jersey, is one of the few' officials fired by
* the Eisenhower administration. Here is the
reason w'hy:
Miller, a former Republican highway
commissioner for New Jersey, was made one
of Ike’s first assistant secretaries of labor
and was sent as American delegate to the
’ International I>abor Office in Geneva in the
winter of 1953. There, at a farewell dinnar
when no speeches were to be made, he rose
. und insisted on making a speech The chair-
man, A. M. Malik, labor minister of Pakistan,
reminded him that speeches were taboo.
"I merely want to read President Eisen-
bower’s Thanksgiving Day proclamation,”
Miller announced.
The chairman relented. Miller then
made a speech proclaiming that Eisenhower
was the only leader of any importance in the
United States, that his margin of victory
was 14,000,000 votes (actually it was 6,500,-
.** uOO), that no one should pay any attention
-* to Adlai Stevenson, plus more of the same.
The international group of labor leaders
and experts from every free country in the
world sat dumfounded. No one had ever dis-
cussed American internal politics before and
no one was supposed to discuss the domestic
' politics of any country. They were supposed
- to leave domestic problems at home.
After Miller sat down you could have
heard a pin drop. Then up rose Phil Delaney
of the A. F. of L.
• “I propose a toast to Adlai Stevenson,”
he said.
"Every delegate rose, paid tribute to
• Stevenson/
After that Miller was fired.
—Uncontrollable French—
Though it’s been kept very hush-hush,
French Premier Mendes-France has made a
tart ling proposal that the United States
• agree to stop all production df atomic and
- hydrogen bombs.
Mendes-France made his proposal dur-
ing secret meetings of the Atlantic Pact
muncil which began last week, and as a re-
lit, Secretary of State Dulles is furious. For
flu’s is the same fantastic proposal Mendes-
- France made secretly to Dulles when he vis-
it cd Washington recently.
Inside fact is that Mendes-France want-
ed to make a speech before the United Na-
^tiori;: alx»ut his plan for stopping H-bomb
production, hut Dulles finally was able to
talk him out of it. Now the unpredictable
Frenchman has renewed the whole idea.
Dulles and Gen. A1 Gruenther, both in
Paris for the talks, believe the plan is com-
pletely cockeyed for this reason: Russia
very well agree to stop production. But she
would never allow an inspection team inside
the Soviet Union to see whether the Kremlin
was living up to the agreement.
—Washington Pipeline—
The “king-pin” agent who Spencer Mil-
ler Jr. says was planted in government agen-
cies is supposed In be Jay Lovestone, one of
the most effective workers against Com-
munism in tht1 labor movement. Lovestone,
once a Communist, renounced it long ago,
has been an adviser to Dave Dubinsky,
strong anti-Comrnunist president of the In-
ternational Ladies Garment Workers. Both
men have helped the CIO stop Communism
abroad in places where labor could do more
than government . . . Newly elected Sen.
Clifford Case of New Jersey will get top-
drawer preference from. Ike on New Jersey
job appointments. Ari early Ike-man, Case
is one of Eisenhower’s favorites . . . The
Kremlin is building up Poland as the corner-
stone of the Eurojiean satellite “defense al-
liance.” The commander of the unified satel-
lite armies is expected to be Polish-bom
Soviet Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky . . .
Scientists believe they have found an anti-
dote to the deadly, odorless nerve gases . . .
U.S. intelligence reports grimly warn that
Thailand, the next country on the road to
aggression, will fall to the Reds within 18
months. The situation is so threatening that
Secretary of State Dulles will personally fly
to Thailand in February.
—Benson’s Delay—
The Secretary of Agriculture has final-
ly announced support prices on so-called feed
grains—barley, oats, rye, and grain sor-
ghums—at. 70 per cent of parity.
This is an announcement usually made
before planting time so farmers can know
how much they will be getting for their
crops. No farmer can plan his crop schedule
unless he has some idea'of what supports
wdll lx*. But Benson held up the announce-
ment this year until after crops were plant-
ed—and until after the elections.
His excuse was that he wanted to see
what drought conditions would be like,
though agriculture experts say he doesn’t
have on<v extra hit more information now
than he did before the elections.

PRAISEWORTHY GIFT
Governor Thomas E. Dewey seems
believe that his political career is over,
least for the time lx>ing. He has turned over
his public papers and letters of his 19 years
of public life, as special rackets prosecutor
in New York City, district attorney, gover-
nor and presidential candidate. They go to
the University of Rochester. Numbering
about 1,000,000, they will throw great light
on state and national politics during the
period of his ascendancy.—(Corsicana Sun).

Mr. Muzzy on the defense, how-
ever, it was made on the nose.
— OPENS TEN —
Mr. Muzzy opened the 10 of hearts
which was ducked all around. The 9
of hearts followed Mrs. Keen won
with the queen and cashed the king
on which Mr Muzzy discarded a
small club.
Next came the ace of hearts and
Mr. Dale ruffed with the 10 of
spades.
"Don't send a boy," remarked Mr.
Muzzy, cleverly, as he overniffed
with the* Jack of spade's. From this
point on, there was no chance to
beat the contract. Mr. Dale won the
club return, extracted trumps and
spread the hand.
— NOT A THING —
"Not a thing we could do about
it,” Mr. Muzzy observed. But ho
was wrong as he was in the play
itself.
All he> had to do was to refuse to
overruff at the fourth trick. Now
it is true that he could have known

should have known it might do so.
And It was n play that couldn't lose.
Sec what actually would have
occurred If Mr Muzzy had simply
discarded a club or a diamond at
trick four. Mr. Dgic's ten of trumps
would have held the trick. H,s b st.
play then would be to start leading
spades. But after taking the ace
and king, Mr. Muzzy would hold the
