BY HASKELL SHORT
United Preii Correspondent
Columbus. O. (U.R) The
heat of the party fight for con
trol of the next U. S. Senate is
demonstrated nowhere more viv
idly that in Ohio where the can
didates are not on . speaking
terms.
They are Republican Sen.
George H. Bender and Dem
ocratic Cov. Frank J. Lausche.
The GOP figures it almost has
to hold Bender's seat if it is to
wrest a Senate majority from
the Democrats. The present line
up is 49 Democrats and 47 Re
publicans.
A parade of top speakers, led
by President Eisenhower and
seven cabinet members, has
visited Ohio. The Democrats
have sent in their top campaign
ers too, counting on Lausche,
five times governor, to pick up
a Senate seat.
Challenged To Debate
Bender and Lausche began
battling clear back in February
when the senator challenged
Lausche to a series of debates.
The governor replied, "I do not
intend to engage in a shouting
contest all over Ohio with you."
Bender, aware of Lausche's
personal popularity and grass
roota campaign technique, crack
ed that he, too, likes to pat small
children on the head but accused
Lausche of being silent on the
issues.
Lausche blasted Bender for
using his free mailing privileges
to send a weekly newsletter to
constituents. Bender fired back
that Lausche travels in state cars
and planes, that his picture is
in publications mailed at state
expense.
Both men are 60 years old,
both are from Cleveland and

Stevenson Proposes
Blanket Health Plan
For Low Income Group
Libertyville, 111. (U.R) Dem-
o c r a t i c presidential candidate
Adlai E. Stevenson has proposed
a new health plan under which
the federal government would
guarantee blanket health cover
age for even the penniless.
Stevenson called for a system
of voluntary insurance to assure
payment on a basis of need of
hospitalization and medical ex
penses. In outlining his "Program for
the Nation's Health," Stevenson
said he was opposed to any sys
tem of "socialized medicine."
"I am equally strongly in
favor of a program to make com
prehensive private health in
surance available on a voluntary
basis to all Americans, so that
no American will be denied good
medical care for financial rea
sons," he said.
Coverage Now Limited
The statement was the third
major outline of policy by Stev
enson on a specific subject since
the start of his presidential
campaign.
Stevenson said more than 100
million Americans now have
some form of health insurance,
but only three per cent of the
people have comprehensive plans
for covering doctors' bill, sur
gery, hospital costs and other ex
penses. He added that there are

Cleveland mayor and governor.
Bender began in politics in high
school when he campaigned for
Theodore Roosevelt. He has serv
as state senator, congressman
and two years ago won the Sen
ate seat left open by the death
of the late Sen. Robert A. Taft.
Voters Confused
Bender has drummed the issue
that Mr. Eisenhower needs a
GOP majority in Congress. Lau

point, said he might vote with
Meany Makes Appeal
For Morse Support
Seattle (U.R) Sen. Wayne
Morse, Oregon's converted Dem
ocrat, was described yesterday
as labor's "champion in the halls
of Congress' who must have la
bor's support in his bid for re
election or "he's lost.
The plea in behalf of Morse
came from President George
Meany of the AFL-CIO in a
speech before some 500 delegates
to the annual convention here of
the Bricklayers, Masons and
Plasters International Union.
Meany, speaking just before
Morse was scheduled to address
the convention, said the senator
was engaged in "the fight of his
life" against former Oregon Re
publican Gov. McKay.
When Morse addressed the
convention, he said that what he
termed a "slump" in the con
struction business was because of
the GOP money and housing
policies and added that Presi
dent's campaign into the North
west apparently was planned be
cause Mr. Eisenhower was told
"things were not good in Wash
ington and Oregon."
many ways in which this type
of insurance could be available
to all, particularly low income
families.
"It is clear," he said, "that
some form of federal aid will
be required to achieve this goal."
Federal Aid
The former Illinois governor
said this federal aid could be a
re-insurance plan under which
the federal government would
make long, term loans to labor,
cooperatives and other groups
which have group health insur
ance programs. He also said the
federal government might make
matching grants to states to pay
some of the costs of voluntary
health insurance for low income
families and individuals.
Such a program, he said,
should be based on the principle
that "those who can pay their
own way should, that those who
can pay a major part should pay
that part, and that those who
can pay little or nothing should
pay what they can and should
be assisted with the rest."
Stevenson also called for a
federal loan and scholarship pro
gram to subsidize students who
want to train for medicine, and
he urged a continuation and ex
pansion of'the Hill-Burton pro
gram of federal financing for
hospital construction.

the Republicans to organize the
Senate if necessary to give a
Republican president control.
His statement drew heavy edi
torials fire and left voters some
what confused although Ohio-
ans have become pretty ac
customed to Lausche's vigorous
independence. The governor is
plugging for Adlai Stevenson and
for Michael V. DiSalle, the form
er federal price stabilizer, who is
running for governor against
Republican Attorney General C.
William O'Neill.
Newspaper polls show Lausche
leading but Bender gaining.
A Dayton factory worker who
supported Lausche in the past
said he has decided the governor
is "too wishy washy." A Colum
bus mechanic said he likes
Lausche "because he thinks for
himself while Bender brags
about his blind support for Ike."
One of the unusual aspects of
the race is that Democrat Lau
sche does not have the support
of organized labor because of
his independence of it in the
past.
Japanese Holdouts
Discovered in Mindoro
Manila (U.R) A "colony"
of some 50 World War II Japa
nese Army stragglers was dis
covered in the mountains near
Roxas in Mindoro Province, ac
cording to reports reaching
Manila today.
Authorities and residents of
Roxas and Mansalay found the
Japanese when floods inundated
the two towns in Southern Min
doro last week and forced towns
people to evacuate their homes
and seek safety in the moun

be remnants of the garrison
which slipped out of Calapan
before American and Filipino
troops entered the provincial
capital in 1945.

Mrs. L. V. My husband wants
me to retire and grow old.
L. V. A man has a right to
his wife's company.
Mrs. L. V. I am 59 years old,
in very good health and have a
good job in a large department
store. I love my work because
it brings me in contact with so
many young people. I enjoy talk
ing to them and sharing their
activities.
My husband is 65 and wants
to retire. He is the quiet sort.
He's perfectly happy if he doesn't
see anyone from one end of the
week to the next. He is a teacher
and can retire on an adequate
pension. He wants me to retire
now too so we can both relax and
enjoy life. But what he calls
relaxation and enjoyment would
bore me. I dread going off into
retirement and just growing old.
I want my husband to enjoy
life in his own way. If he thinks
he can be happy with nothing to
do, it's all right with me, but
why should he be so dependent
on me that I have to retire with
him?
Mr L. V I think that after 40
years of marriage, a husband has
a right to expect to enjoy his
wife's company in his old age.
My wife can get a few hundred
dollars more a year in pension
money if she works for the next
few years and she seems to find
this more important than me.
The Council: Mr. L. V. is .just
ified in his belief that a man
has a right "to enjoy his wife's
company in his old age" and
Mrs. L. V. is being a little off
hand about his problem when
she tells him to "enjoy life in
his own way."
The question is, will L. V.
be able to enjoy life with or
without his wife's company when
he has retired. The answer is,
probably not.
Retirement seems like a beau
tiful dream to someone feeling
tired and oppressed by the daily
grind. But experience has shown
that a steady diet of "relaxation"
is death to mind, spirit and body.
Even the "quiet type" like Mr.

L. V. requires a certain amount
of regular responsibility and i
contact witn people to make
life worthwhile. Mr. L. V. seems
offended that his wife doesn't
leap to join him and points to
the additional money as her
motive. But his wife appears
to be less concerned about this
than he does. She sees much
more clearly what total retire
ment would mean.
Perhaps Mr. L. V. finds his
duties tiresome and wants a
change and the chance to slow
down. In his work there are
many opportunities for part
time basis. This would give him
a new and refreshing outlook
and leave him plenty of time to
develop other interests and hob
bies. Mr. L. V. is now not only plan
ning badly for himself, but mak
ing an unfair demand on his
wife.
