O. P. “SPLIT WIDE OPEN” The declaration of Governor Thomas E. Dewey, recent Republican nominee for the Presidency, that the party is “split wide open,” represents one of the first ac- knowledgemenis by high-ranking Repub- licans that there exists a cleavage in Re- publican ranks. The division has been apparent to in- telligent observers of political affairs for some years. While many commentators and columnists have stressed the inherent weaknesses inthe Democratic coalition, there has been a tendency to overlook the wide cleavage between the Old Guard and the liberal Republican. Mr. Dewey warns his party that if it expects to recapture national power, it must forget the ideas that government is no more than “a cold and impartial um- pire.” He asked members of Congress to vote for unemployment insurance, in- creased old-age assistance, broader social security, slum clearance and public hous- ing. public development of water-power resources, farm price supports and vigor- ous protection of the rights of labor. It may be noted, in connection with this declaration, that the Governor of New York, whenrunning for the Presidency in 1944 and 1948 vigorously espoused the viewpoint he now expresses. In general terms, his speeches, seeking the favor of the electorate, were endorsements of the position taken by the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt. About the only difference was the Republican assertion that the GOP could do the job better than | the Democrats. Governor Dewey pointed some advice to “those who disapprove of these prin- ciples” by suggesting that they try to get elected “in a typical American communi- ty and see what happens to them.” He added, however, that they should. not do their current buying, BIRTHDAY By AP Newsfeatures ADM.

Aunt Minniebelle sat on the back seat with Betty, dry-eyed and silent. There was no more sobbing, ao more hysteria. Every now and then she would say in a quiet voice, almost as if she were talking to herself: “She was coming home, and she wanted me to know it. I knew all the time she’d come back.” “Yes,” her husband would say, unconsciously speaking in the past sense, “she was like that. They didn’t make girls any finer than Gertie. She was a little bit stubborn like me. But her heart was always in the right place— le.” Betty felt her heart bleed for this gallant middle-aged couple who were so valiantly carrying on, After hearing the news Aunt Minniebelle had gotten up from bed, dried her tears, and dressed just as quietly—just as carefully —as if she were going to a club meeting. If her hand trembled a little as she put on her hat, it wasn't too obvious. amienat Uncle Dave, with no bluster at all, had found his coat and hat without even asking where they bing after Betty had of wild sobbing N Pt van all she co’ as crying aloud Tight now! iw WAS a spall: haga 2s converted residence 1 a wing: had been ‘added.

She spoke to the Warrens, calling them, by name and, although she made no men- tion of their reason for being there, there was a world of com- passion in her eyes. a There was an air of friendly in- formality about the entire place, but there was obviously no lack of efficiency. Presently Betty got up and went out into the big room where the nurses were. She-spoke to one of the nurses, a pretty blue-eyed girl whom the’ others addressed as “Bobby.” She asked about Jack < he’! tting along all “Oh, he’s | ge’ right,” the it said. “It’s really a miracle. ’m sure you can come in to see him tomorrow, if you like to. You could go in now, but he’s badly shaken up and the doc- tor wants to keep him as quiet as possible.” She did not volunteer any fur- ther information. Betty did not ask about Gertrude. Somehow she knew without being told that Gertrude was dead. The compas- sionate look in Bobby’s eyes had said so. When she returned to the wait- were and accusing somebody of hiding them.
