" The war against disease is one in which there is no armistice. It's a big war too for the toll of lives
from diseases exceeds that of the battlcfronts. These pictures take you to medical headquarters of the Chii-

Washington D. C.
On a recent sunshiny Washington
afternoon I made a pilgrimage to
the Republican National committee
headquarters. As I entered the
white-pillared portal of the modest
little house they have rented on Con-
necticut avenue a number of
thoughts which may be omens of
good or ill in the coming election
floated into my ken.
The house was once a private
home but now it is situated amidst
shops and restaurants and looks
across the avenue toward a towering
apartment house taken over by the
Civilian Defense administration.
As I ascended the stairway to the
second floor ofllce of Chairman Haf-
rison Spangler memories rushed"
about me and I was transported
back to the days when the Republi-
can party was suffering in the slough
of its deepest despond. The rooms
about me then housed one of the
many trade organizations created by
that wonderful and awful National
Recovery administration presided
over by the late and stormy Gen-
eral Iron Pants Johnson.
And later as I chatted with Mr.
Spangler I was reminded of another
circumstance gently symbolic of
the days when the elephant sulked
impotent and neglected in bis tent
the Republican committee was
forced to move some two years ago
from its snappier modern quarters
on Lafayette Square where it could
gaze longingly at the White House
on the right hand and not too hope-
fully at the United States Chamber
of Commerce on the other. The
reason the committee had to move
was because it was only a tenant on
Lafayette Square and the CIO
(which had tossed a million into the
Democratic electioneering fund) was
the landlord.
Tempora mutantur.
But if the times and the quarters
have changed so have Republican
spirits. "Roosevelt won't carry two
states (or was it five?)" I was con-
fidentially informed by one of the
modest laborers in the GOP vine-
yard. Harrison Spangler made no tall
predictions to me. He made no pre-
dictions at all. He simply told me
about what he is doing the results
so far obtained. He has a simple
faith that results already achieved
are the precursors of victory.
Well-Used Word
Spangler's forte is organization
and that's the word he uses most.
"The precinct is the- squad" he
said. "If you have good squads you
have a good regiment."
He has reduced the training of
the squad to a very simple formula.
Get one energetic worker and as-
sign him or her 20 Republican vot-
ers. See that they vote. Mark Han-
na used that system. It works. Iowa
(Spangler's own state) uses it. Many
others do.
The important word in the last
sentence is "do." Important because
opuiimi;i useu u in wie present lense.
In the days of the Blue Eagle and
for many years thereafter any
statement about an effective Repub-
lican political organization had to be
used in the past tense. But tempora
mutantur again. Spangler believes
that times have changed and have
been changing for some time.
Chairman Spangler is not starting
at scratch with his organizing; 20
states which have elected Republi-
can governors he pointed out to me
already have pretty good machines
which are working now.
The chairman is a typical suc-
cessful businessman of n miridlo.
1 sized town (Cedar Rapids Iowa) in
1 the Middle West. His speech and
! his speeches are pretty much basic
English except when he "rises to
' pronounce" on party principles.
Then he use's good old substantial
political phrases marshaled in the
conventional manner. But like all
pre;convention committee chairman-
ships his job is eschewing the over-
specific. He can talk about candi-
dates but not a candidate pro or
con; he can talk about platforms
but not about planks.
He is according to his associates
a man of action. Already he has
visited all of the northern states
and that is what he is still doing
dividing his time between the field
and the Washington office He likes
BRIEFS
A campaign to fill 100000 present
and impending job vacancies on the
railroads will be conducted by a
newly established railroad manpower
mobilization committee representing
the united efforts of the government
and railroad labor and management.
The poy-as-you-earn system of in-
come tax collections is being con-
sidered in Australia.
best to meet with a small group of
leaders about 30. He also makes
his contacts with non-political organ-
izations. (He himself is an Elk and
a Mason.)
The Farm Problem
The form .organizations will be
handled en masse. Representatives
of all tho farm organizations have
been invited to attend a. meeting in
Chicago early next month in order to
express their views for possible in-
corporation in the party platform.
They will meet with members of the
Republican postwar advisory coun-
cil's committee on agriculture. Its
chairman is Governor Hickenlooper
who succeeded the Into Senator Mc-
Nary father of the farm bloc.
Agriculture is one of the eight
"problems" listed by the advisory
council at its meeting in September
1942. The others are foreign pol-
icy; postwar industry and employ-
ment; social welfare; federal ad-
ministration; finance and currency;
labor; agriculture; and international
economic problems.
A staff of experts under Dr. Neil
Carothers dean of the school of busi-
ness of Lehigh university has been'
assembled who assist the council
which hopes to produce timber for
the party platform by scientific
methods. "
Chairman Spangler admits that we
face a world in which conditions
which will affect the election in No-
vember are likely to change radical-
ly perhaps before the conventions;
certainly before the. elections. But
he believes that insofar as possible
the various "problems" listed by the
advisory committee should be
threshed out in as much detail as
possible before the convention so
that they will not have to be dealt
with superficially at the last mo-
ment by the platform committee -at
the convention.
Votes and Relief
"We made several surveys cov-
ering different periods in the East
a few years ego" he said "and wo
found that the New Deal vote rose
in direct proportion with the amount
of relief in the community. The
people were grateful for the help
they got and gave Roosevelt the
credit; they forgot that it was the
people's money they were spending.
When they are able to pay their own
bills earn enough for what they
need they want to be independent.
They want to shake off government
control and regulation."
Mr. Spangler and his associates
believe that the Republican party
will win first because of the ener-
getic response of people which has
made the rebuilding of an effective
political organization -possible; sec-
ond because they consider trends
already evident are a. factual indi-
cation of a turn of the tide.
Mr. Spangler did not attempt to
argue the case of the Republican
party nor are these columns a place
for such a political debate but any-
one can see that he and his s'taff be-
lieve that they .share a popular feel-
ing that "the times have changed"
"et nos mutamur illis" (and we are
changed with them). The "we"
meaning a voting majority of the
American people.
Of such is the.optimism which fills
the workshop on Connecticut avenue
where xhe. one concern is the practi-
cal side of p'olitics there where the
shadow of the Blue Eagle once fell
across the portals not even the flut-
ter of a ghostly feather can now be
detected.
Service Education
To facilitate the educational pro-
gram for servicemen overseas the
United States Armed Forces insti-
tute has set up branches in five the-
aters of war Southwest Pacific
South Pacific Middle East Euro-
pean and Alaskan theaters. Mem-
bers of all branches of the Ameri-
can armed forces serving overseas
may now apply directly to the new'
branches for the same courses that
are given in the states through insti-
tute headquarters at Madison Wis.
The curriculum covers the range
from grammar school to university
subjects. An enlisted man may ap-
ply for as many courses supplied
directly by USAFI as he wishes for
only one enrollment fee of $2. For
self-teaching courses text books and
materials arc supplied free of
charge.

approximately 143192000 cups of
coffee and 70000000 doughnuts at
