Scandal in New Yorit Sute?
Charges of 1 "corrupt deal" are being Jiurled
at Governor Dewey in New York state, candi
date lor reelection, and Lt. Gov. Joe Hanley,
republican candidate for the U. S. senate. The
allegation are made by Dewey's democratic
opponent, Congressman Walter A. Lynch, who
claims that Hanley was bought off' from run
ning for governor with promises of funds to '
clean up his personal debts and a state job if Financing Buildings

Tolved.
The sequence of events was something like
this: Dewey had in June announced he wouldn't
run for governor again, Hanley was the "heir
apparent for the republican nomination. Came
the Korean invasion. Came O'Dwyer's resigna
tion as mayor of New York city which forced
city election there, which always brings Out
a big vote that democratic stronghold. Facing
this change in the outlook New York bigwigs
prevailed on Dewey to, reconsider, but Hanley
had to be taken care of first It was reported in
one news magazine that Hanley had been given
assurances his personal debts, which had been
worrying him, would be taken care of . At any
rate ffanley wrote to Dewey saying he would
withdraw from the race for governor and urged
Dewey to run. Dewey agreed to giving as rea
son the fact, the country was at war and en
dorsed Hanley for the senate position.
But Hanley also wrote another letter to one
I his political sponsors, W. Kingland Macy,
in which he reported that in conference with
the governor "certain unalterable and unques
tionably definite propositions were made to me"
which included assurance his debts would be
cleaned up and a state job assured. This letter's
contents got noised about and Tuesday Hanley
made its text public. :.:

The state board of higher education years ara
worked out a plan for financing some of its
buildings without depending on the state gener
al fund, which lacked funds for such appropri
ations. In this case of student dormitories the
board issued revenue bonds payable out of in
come from the buildings, with pledge also of
certain special receipts. The board has handled
this form of financial carefully and has met in- .
stalments of interest and principal punctually.
Because it is a revenue bond and not backed
by the general credit of the state the board has
had to pay a higher rate of interest So an
amendment to the constitution is being submit-
iea 10 ine voters which will enable the board
to issue bonds based on the pledge of revenues
but backed also with the full faith and credit
of the state. In this way a lower interest rate
would be obtained and it is estimated the board
would save $1,200,000 in interest charges over
the life of the bonds outstandings, which would
be refunded. Legislative, action is required to
implement the amendment and legislative ap
proval is required for issuance of bonds for new
buildings before the present debt is retired.
This measure is approved by conservative leg
islators and individuals concerned with sound
public finance. The Statesman . endorses the

Close That Gap - ' '
The Salem community chest has crossed the
$90,000 mark in its campaign to raise $111,000.
Full and liberal response is needed to close that
gap, for every dollar of that budget is required
if the agencies supported by the chest are to do
their job. They really should have more money
and will be greatly handicapped if their reven
ues fall short - " -. ; ,
Salem is rich enough to fill the chest to over

community should constrain us to provide th
full sum asked. Ask yourself, Have I done all
I can? If not send in your check and help bring
victory to the loyal army of chest workers.

what is wrong with an unmade

Since Its introduction several
.years ago. It was hoped that in
radioactive iodine we would find
our best remedy for toxic goiter
but this hope could only be con--firmed
after the passage of suf-
Cdent time enabled us to watch
Its results and compare them
with those obtained by other
treatments.
Today, a large number of pa
tients have been treated by this
means and observed over periods
of from three to thirty months
thereafter. Effects are so good
that many doctors believe radio
active iodine may, in many cases,
supplant earlier methods of deal
ing with the disease.
' A recent report on 184 patients
states that all but two were cured. '
In every case the diagnosis of an
over-active thyroid gland was '
confirmed by basal metabolism
tests, which showed -that the
bodily activities were unduly
speeded up by an excessive se-
cretion of thyroid extract A '
number of these patients had al
ready been treated unsuccessfully
by other methods, such as opera-
tion and the administration of

Answer: Burning of the tongue
in a young person is usually due
to an Infection. In older individ

of trouble is not known.

provement was noted within two
to four weeks, usually in the third
- week after treatment was started.
If the' patients were not com
pletely relieved within eight
weeks, a second dose of the radio
active iodine was given. A few
patients required a third dose.
However, a great majority were
cleared up with a single dose.

The effect of the treatment Is
shown by the pulse rate. For ex

before treatment was 120 per

not natural for a writer to be
