In the letter, the medical deans advised Symington that Federal aid to medical schools was imperative to insure even the barest minimum of. doctors for future civilian and military needs. However, the stiffest wallop ag- ainst AM.A. was delivered by one of its own topsiders, Dr. Herman Weiskotten, dean of the Syracuse University Medical School and chairman of the A.M.A.s committee on medical education.

It is, first and fore- most, the abject failure of our leaders to declare this crusade for what it is .. ." This officer is correct. The ad- | ministration was as inadequately prepared in its public relations as it was in its diplomacy and its supply for World War IIL. It re- jected the concept of World War II1, and, having rejected it, when it actually arrived, Mr. Truman, Mr. Acheson and the others who must speak to the people, did not ‘know what words to use. Perhaps the best way to answer And by the way, what time is it now? The law designates the husband as the head of It also specifies that the pedestrian has lthe right-of-way over a truck. Why doesn't some botanist develop a lawn grass that would grow horizontally ir tead of vertically? s RN this lieutenant commander is to say to him that the United States is worth much more than a parcel of politicians. After all, Mr. Harry Truman is not the United States of America; he is only its Presidenf, and Pres- idents come and go. There was once a President called Chester A. Arthur and the United States sur- vived. In a word, our country is bigger and more important than any man in it,.and our civilization is still greater. Both are imperilled at this moment; our country more than ever in its history. This Korean episode of World War III is the fourth big push of the Slavo-Mongolian hordes against the United States, as the primary country of the Western world. The first big push was the conquest of China by Soviet Russia. This did not involve a great effort as Soviet Russia was assisted by the State Department. Twice they had at- tempted to destroy American pres- tige in Europe by pushing us out of Berlin. Twice they failed. Had the China job not been so easy, it is possible that Soviet Rus- sia would not have gone into Kor- ea. A country that permits itself to be pushed around cannot lead the world. Although Dean Acheson did not understand that. Harry Truman did. That is why he moved so quickly in the Korean situation, although he was unprepared for it.} But there is much more to this. If we get pushed out of Korea, all the Asiatic countries, following their historic characteristics, will say that Stalin is the satrap and they will turn on us with such' savagery as we can hardly imagine. You might say that they could never come here. Well, maybe that vord Puzzle ACROSS 1. Wax ointment 1. Member of the solar system 13. Soft palates 14. Disprove 15. Sun 16. Skill 17. Insect 18.

They could leave us an island in a Slavo- Mongolian world. There is the issue and anyone can take it from there. I recall that when Hitler went to war, anyone suggesting that this country had better to stay out of a fight between two vicious, malevolent, imperial- istic dictators was called an isol- ationist and was smeared almost as though he were traitor. Some of the finest Americans, such as Charles Lindbergh, were so abused as isolationists, which was made a bad word. Today, one of those dictators is out of the way and the other is engaged in isolating us. He may succeed, He certainly will succeed if our people do not quickly recog- nize that we are not warring ag- ainst Korea and Koreans but ag- ainst Russia and Russians. He cer- tainly will succeed unless this coun- try gets down to the business of preserving itself. It really makes little difference whether Harry Truman is elected or defeated, or whether in 1950 we get a Democratic or a Republican Congress. It is too late for that kind of small stuff, which seems to preoccupy Mr. Truman. We have a major war on our hands and now is the time for all true men to come to the aid of their country.
