L 2 L a 5 CHURCHILL’S FIRST YEAR * Prime Minister Winston Churchill is completing his first year as peace-time head of the British nation. Ap- parently, Mr. Churchill has not yet succeeded in revers- ing the trend toward socialism in Great Britain, but he has promised in the current session of Parliament to start moving in that direction by denationalizing the steel and the road transportation industry, ° It should be remembered, however, that the govern- ment is still running the coal mines, the airlines, railroads, and the Bank of England. Foods are still rationed and rents are frozen. Hundreds of items are still under price controls, and there are many other forms of control still in effect. In talking to his fellow-countrymen, Mr. Churchill said: “We have got our head above water. Our future task is to swim up against the stream. “Do not forget that apart from the American contri- bution to our rearmament effort, we are now supporting ourselves. We have none of that American loan and Mar- shall aid ... which our predecessors enjoyed during their six-year regime and used up so lavishly. We are not living on the United States, nor are we abusing them, ‘in spite of receiving their aid.” A MIRACLE IN SURGERY Three years ago Matiork Cody, of Milwaukee, Wis- consin, had his fingers amputated. The stubs that were ‘eft were less than an inch long, making him a useless tripple, who was even unable to feed himself. As a result of the miracle of modern surgery, Cody yow has eight new fingers which makes it possible for | him to hold a job, write, use a screw-driver, and live a}: normal life. Dr. William H. Frackelton, of Marquette | University in Milwaukee, performed the operations which dramatize so clearly what modern surgery can do to help build new lives for the crippled, injured, or disfigured. The operation involved cutting clefts an inch to an inch-and-a-half deep into the palms of Cody’s hands, | PROBLEMS OF A FOSTER PARENT _- THE PRESIDENT- ELECT IS RESTING 7 THIS ROCK VUV FFI FOC V OV ICV T VEC CCC CCC CCC CCST C CUT.

Both the Commissioners and the City Manager have worked with me to improve recreational facilities in every way possible. Mrs. Thomp- son shouldn’t have told you we have one volley ball, one basket- ball, etc. I have a lot more equip- ment but only issue what the children need at the moment.” I’m more than willing to stand corrected if the original column was wrong. Certainly I did my utmost to -write the story so that any backfiring would come to me --not Mrs. Thompson. She is doing too fine a job to be drawn into any sort of conflict simply because city officials or commissioners do not like the interpretation that a reporter makes regarding condi- tions. I like Paul Albury and all of the City Commissioners as well as Dave King. but the more I think about the fact that they might feel resentful at Mrs. Thompson be- cause I wrote a story about the park, the madder I get. What was Mrs. Thompson supposed to do? — Take a baseball bat and drive my snooping nose out of the park? Well, to make sure that no sm: time employee of the city or coun- ty is discomfitted by future columns, we'll stick to the “big boys”. They don’t realize how often this reporter has fought to Ohio Is Major Battleground In Presidential keep petty, embarrassing news of their activities from being publish- ed.

By B. T. JOHNS COLUMBUS, 0. (#—Twenty-five electoral votes from a state that swaps parties frequently will be at stake in Ohio Nov. 4 Intense campaigning with hot state, as well as national, contests has generated interest to such an extent that it is estimated a mil- lion more people will vote than in 1948. It is no wonder that top figures in both parties are making Ohio a major battleground. Starting with 1900 Ohio has voted Republican in seven presidential elections. Six times it has backed the Democratic candidate. It now has a Democratic governor and two Republican U. S. senators. It can never be considered “safe” for either party, Ohio went along with Franklin D. Roosevelt in his first bid for the {presidency in 1932, and continued Democratic in 1936 and 1940. Thom- as E. Dewey got the nod over | Roosevelt by 11,530 votes in 1944. | Harry S, Truman finished with a plurality of 7,107 in 1948. The Nov, 4 decision in Ohio be- tween Democrat Adlai E. Steven- son and Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower will be vital to the national outcome. Only four other states, New York, California, Penn- ; Cleveland and Cuyahoga County lat the top of the list, usually tip the scales in Buckeye elections. The other counties, and their | principal cities, are Franklin (Co- lumbus), Hamilton (Cincinnati), Lucas, (Toledo), Mahoning (Youngstown), Montgomery (Day- ton), Stark (Canton), and Summit (Akron), In 1948 the eight counties cast 53.78 per cent of Ohio’s presiden- tial ballots out of a total of 2,898,475, Secretary of State Ted W. Brown estimates 3,900,000 will vote this lyear, This was a prize sought by both |candidates for the presidency as | they campaigned in Ohio this year on a scale unequaled in recent national elections. Stevenson criss-crossed the state | twice and made a third trip for | the weekend before election. Eisen- | hower spent two days in Ohio. | Both vice presidential candidates, | Richard Nixon for the Reppblicans and John J. Sparkman’ for the Democrats, also toured the state. |So did Sen. Robert A.

The writers estimated Eisenhow- er would take 54 per cent, Steven- son 46, The outcome in Cleveland and | Cuyahoga County as usual largely wilt determine the presidential re- sult in Ohio. Cuyahoga polls about | one-sixth of the total vote. It went for Truman in 1948, but both the ‘Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Cleveland News estimated this month the county would back | Eisenhower. It is a political tradition of long standing that a Democrat must carry Cuyahoga County by a mar- } gin in the neighborhood of 50,000 jto win the state. Cleveland’s Democratic mayor, Thomas A. Burke, recently raised | the figure to 100,000 for the 1952 | presidential contest but said Stev- enson ‘would make it. Spirited battles for U. S. senator ‘and governor have added spice to | the campaign. Debate of international and na- | tional issties has featured a stiff, | | sometimes bitter, contest between | John W. Bricker, Republican, seek- jing re-election to the Senate, and Michael V. Disalle of Toledo, for- mer price stabilizer in the Truman administration. ; Seeking to unseat Frank J.

She had no more control over what I wrote More Women Than Men Have Registered By DOROTHY ROE AP Women’s Editor Campaigners of both major par- ties say that one of the most re- markable things in this campaign is the enthusiastic participation of women who in the past left pol- ities up to their husbands, For the first time in history more women than men have registered to vote this year in New York City. The board of elections announced there are 1,761,148 registered wom- en voters in the city, as com- pared with 1,754,849 men. From the Girl Scouts and Camp- fire Girls who are volunteering as baby sitters for mothers who want | to go to the polls, to octogenarians twho are having a whale of a good time getting their first taste of active politics, the women are making their presence felt this time. Typical of the new attitude is Mrs. Donald McDonald, a young | mother of Dumont, N.J., whose husband is an active member of the local campaign committee Unable to volunteer for doorbell- finging or sound-truck speaking because she is tied down at home caring for her baby, Mrs. McDon- ald thought up a way she could help at home. She invited 20 neigh- bors in for an evening of dough- nuts, coffee and political discus- sion, pledging each to go home and invite 20 more peoplesto a similar party, the object being to sign up all guests for similar parties, infinitum. Says she: “This chain reaction party tech- nique can really get into astronom- ical figures, even in the short time remaining before election.” For the past 11 years church membership, in the United States has increased about 2 per cent a year. quality of consumer goods be im- mediately improved by strict ap- plication of our sew production methods” and insist on improve- ment of supply and service in the state-owned food stores to “give our people the better break which they deserve for their hard work.” plains: “Again—no fish.
