NIGHT EDITOR: FRED WARNER NEAL A New Deal For The Band. , TOLERATION is considered by many persons to be a sign of intelligence. If they are correct in their assumption, then the faculty of Michigan are a tribe of geniuses. No doubt many of the incoming students and most of the older ones are aware of the fact that the members of the faculty are, as a group, friend- ly, considerate and tolerant. The fact of the matter is that they are too tol- erant, especially in regard to the disrespect stu- dents often show just before the end of a class hour by shuffling and gathering together books while the professor is still lecturing. If a professor has not yet made a point of requesting the full attention of the students until he dismisses them, it does not give them the li- cense to create a disturbance. If merely for the sake of common decency, the students should re- main quiet until the lecturer is through speaking and dismisses the class. THE SCREEN AT THE MICHIGAN - "DON'T BET ON BLONDES" Starring Warren William with Clare Dodd, Guy Kibbee, and William Gargan. The trouble is that we're still a little mystified as to what this movie is doing, so maybe we shouldn't express too many opinions. However, if you want to see a panorama of everything from a horse race to the birth of quintuplets this is it, and it really puts the newsreel to shame. Warren William, he of the impossible collars, happens to be a bookmaker when the show opens and is just getting the final bets in on a horse race that day. After the race he decides that such a business is too unethical and opens an agency to insure everybody for everything that other companies turn down, such as the vocal cords of a professional husband caller. Kib ee, a ,southern colonel who spends most of his time drinking mint juleps and denying that the North won the Civil War, .is writing a book and is dependent on his daughter, Clare Dodd, an actress, for support. In order to make it possible for him to finish his book, he insures his daughter against marriage, for if she marries he will no longer be supported by her. The fly in the ointment appears when Warren falls in love with her himself after trying so hard to keep her away from other men, and stands to lose $50,000 on the insurance policy. The end comes along soon after. Since the show doesn't try to accomplish anything in particular, and accomplishes that, we can report that it is suc- cessful. And it does make you laugh, but whether it is the humor or the ridiculousness of it is debatable. All this was all right as far as we were con- cerned, for it was pretty good comedy, but we recommend a psychiatrist for the authors of the accompanying shorts. The shots of the Tiger- Cub to date get three stars, the feature two, the rest none, average two minus. J.C.F.H. COMING TO THE MAJESTIC "THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1936" A Paramount picture starring Jack Qakie, George Burns, Gracie Allen Lyda Roberti, Wendy Barrie, Uenry Wadsworth, Bing Crosby, Amos 'n Andy, Ethel Merman, Ray Noble's Band, Mary Boland, Charlie Ruggles, Bill Robinson, the Vienna Boys Choir, etc. It doesn't make much difference which star of the stage screen, or radio is your favorite, for you're sure to find him, or her, in The Big Broad- cast. It is a sparkling comedy with "more stars than there are in heaven," and enough good music for five shows. You'll hear Ray Noble and his famous music, Ina Ry Hutton and her Melo- dears, Bing Crosby singing "I Wished On The Moon," Henry Wadsworth singing "Why Dream," Lyda Roberti singing "Double Trouble," Ethel Merman singing "It's The Animal In Me." Jack Oakie will roll you in the aisles, as will Burns and Allen, the latter crazier than ever. Mary Boland and Charlie Ruggles bring a skit that is perfect, there are three stooges trying to A Washington BYSTANDER By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. JHESE are dizzy days politically. If a modern Rip Van Winkle were to awake, the old codger would have a hard time getting his bearings. He would hear Democrats invoking Lincoln on behalf of the New Deal and Republicans quoting Jefferson against it. He would find Republicans filling important positions in a Democratic admin- istration; and some Republicans urging their party to nominate a Democrat for President in 1936. He would read Republican protests that Roose- velt had failed to follow the platform they con- demned in 1932, and suggestions that the G.O.P. use specific parts of that Democratic platform it- self in the next election. * * * * HE MIGHT WONDER if any similar situation ever existed. A glance up to Canada would show one quickly. There, campaigning for the equivalent of our presidential election on October 14, the Conservative party is liberal and the Lib- eral is conservative. Whether to continue the Conservatives' present New Deal administration at Ottawa is being de- bated as fervent as Roosevelt policies here. One would never gather from either contro- versy whether the principals appreciate the light- some aspects. It would take the talents of Gilbert and Sullivan to do justice to the comic opera possibilities. Why haven't the politicians themselves joked about it? Perhaps because party sagas traditionally warn ambitious youngsters against humor on the stump. Crowds may laugh along with the speechmaker, they say, but votes more often go to him of grave sentences and profound pauses. SO THE deadly serious arguments go on day after day. Spokesmen for both parties proclaim their positions as above the partisan plane, while the organizers in the precincts diligently look after the fences. One side depicts the New Deal as savior of the country, the other as the destroyer. The country takes it all in stride. It probably would not want the situation any different. Many a chuckle would be missed, as recently when Re- publican Chairman Fletcher and Secretary Roper separately quoted Lincoln on the Constitution for opposite reasons. Fletcher found the Emancipator said: "Let it (the Constitution) be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. In short, let it be- come the political religion of the nation." Roper found he also said: "I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I as- sumed this ground and now avow it." As OthersSee It] On Cutting (From the Daily Illini) THE REPORT of David Larrabee, assistant to the dean of men, concerning the bad effects on grades by cutting is worth consideration by those who are prone to cut. The old cut system is out -rightly. Cutting can be done judiciously with no bad effects. But the report proves that too much cutting is definitely harmful and should be a warning. build a house and driving the audience mad; Bill Robinson dances; Wendy Barrie charms; C.

Opposition To Potato Law Is Problematical Potato Farmers Demand That AAA Enactment Be Carried Out WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. - () - In AAA circles, it was indicated today that the compulsory potato control law, an issue fraught with political controversy, would be enforced despite misgivings: The farm agency had, however, either through accident or fore- thought, got into a position where it could argue that farmer sentiment compelled it reluctantly to undertake the administration of the law. Potato farmers who gathered here yesterday presented an almost united front in a turbulent hearing called'to consider alternative plans for con- trolling potato production. They re- fused to talk about substitutes and, insisted that the administration en- force the law enacted by congress. Confronted with charges of "nul- lification" from. rebellious farmers and their spokesment, Wallace unex- pectedly appeared before them to say that his criticism of the law had nothing to do with whether it was enforced and to announce that there had been no final determination of the availability of funds to enforce it. Hillel Opens Friday Evening Services Suggests An Alliance To Combat Reds Labor Official Desires Aid Of American Legion To Fight Communism ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 4. - (M) - An alliance between the Amer- ican Federation of Labor and the American Legion to combat Commu- nism was suggested by Matthew Woll, vice president of the Federation. "Both organizations have the same feeling about the need for fighting the growth of - communism," Woll said when he arrived for the federation's annual convention. "Joint action may be taken." Woll predicted that the Federation would take strong action against Communists in this country and would urge a diplomatic break with Soviet Russia. "Trade with Russia, he said, "has amounted to nothing at all, while this country is being flooded with subver- sive propaganda." Communists, he declared, had re- sumed their old policy of "boring from within" into the American labor movement. "Hot spots," he said, were the fur- riers and teachers unions, and several labor organizations in St. Paul and Minneapolis. The Communist drive to undermine waterfronts on the Pa- cific coast, he said, was subsiding. The powder keg of the federation's current controversy --union orgni- zation by craft or by industry -may be touched off at any moment after the convention convenes Monday. The metal trades department of the Federation came forward as cham- pion of the craft faction against John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, and his associates, advo- cating the industrial action. Great Change Anno unced to PWA Program 90 Per Cent Of Labor No Longer Need Be Taken From Relief Rolls WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 - (P) - The Pubic Works Administration an- nounced today that Harry L. Hopkins had exempted its $330,000,000 non- federal program from the require- ment that 90 per cent of its labor be taken from relief rolls. The order followed Hopkins' earlier decision that employes on the $100,- 000,000 PWA slum clearanc pro- gram also need not come from relief lists. Simultaneously, PWA made pub- lic an order by Secretary xckes. ex- tending local option on PWA, pro- ject wages to those financed from the old appropriation, on which con- tracts are let after Oct. 9.. Skilled Men Needed Officials said contractors had re- quested modification of the 90 per cent relief rule because they con- tended there was not a sufficient sup- ply of skilled workmen. on reief. It was recalled that Gen. , lugh S. Johnson, New York City PWA, ad- ministrator, recently said_ several thousand skilled jobs 'were going beg- ging there because of an insufficient supply of relief labor. The orders followed a report by the Works Progress Administration showing that 1,126,234 jobs had been provided to Oct. 3 in the drive to put 3,500,000 needy to work. Hopkin's order authorized state WPA administratorsato waive the 90 per cent requirement on PWA pro- jects where there were "no qualified workers on the public relief rols available within the vicinity of the project." "Vicinity" was defiined as "an area within which the worker may travel to and from work without unusual expenditure of time or ex- cessive cost for transportation." Writings Of Faculty Recently Published Four volumes by faculty members have recently been published, ac- cording. to an announcement of Uni- versity officials today. Prof. Clarence D. Thorpe has pre- .pared "John Keats; Complete Poems and Selected Letters"; Prof. Preston E. James of the geography depart- ment has written "An Outline of Geography"; "Major American Writ- ers" was edited by Prof. Hloward Mumford Jones of the English de- partment and Ernest E. Leisy of Southern MethodisthUniversity; and Prof. Paul S. Welch of the zoology department is the author of "Lim- inology." FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN ILL GLEN COVE, N. Y., Oct. 4. -(P) - Mrs. Ruth Baker Pratt, former Con- gresswoman and member of the Re- HE APPOINTMENT of the new band director, Prof. William D. Re- velli, formerly of Hobart, Ind., is indeed a com- mendable move on the part, of the University. In all probability Professor Revelli will raise the band to a position' where it is comparable to any other organization representing a Big Ten school. Two years ago the Fighting Hundred faced one of the few crises since its organization, when Prof. Nicholas Falcone was forced to leave Ann Arbor because of a serious illness. The band for a. few weeks was left without a director and was almost completely disorganized when Prof. Leonard Fal- cone, a brother of the former Michigan director, was asked to direct the Spring concert. Follow- ing the last Spring concert, students directors took charge of the band, and finished out the concert season. Last year Prof. Nicholas Falcone returned to the. campus in the Summer Session but again became ill and was forced to discontinue his duties in the early fall. Bernard Hirsch, a graduate in the Music School, was asked to take over the band, and he did a creditable job, but received little or no remuneration for his work. Thus for the past two years the band has been left to struggle along as best it could, and the result of such management has become increasingly no- ticeable. The Fighting Hurndred is well known in the various Big Ten schools for its ability to march well and to present a military appearance worthy of commendation. But a band should also be a musical organization and be able to play well in concert. In this respect the Michigan band has left much to be desired. The concerts offered by] the University organization in the past two orj three years are hardly comparable with those of- fered by the University of Illinois or the North- western concert bands. It is perhaps too much to expect that the Fight- ing Hund'red will eial theI Tllinois hand in ner- Labor And Capital Watch Toledo By SIGRID ARNE For the last three months, and the three to come, the "Toledo peace plan" for industrial dis- putes has been, and will be, closely watched by labor leaders and industrialists. The plan came to life on July 16 at Toledo, Ohio, fathered by Edward F. McGrady, assistant secretary of labor, as a method to calm the labor wars which were upsetting the manufacturing communities of northern Ohio. If it continues to prove a success, after further tests at Toledo which should consume no more than an additional three months' time, McGrady is planning to aid in creating similar boards in some 27 other cities from which he now has queries. Civic Leaders On Board The "peace plan" is a conciliation method to avert strikes and lockouts where employers and employes have reached an impasse. The medium used is a board of 18 civic leaders which attempt to assist the antagonistic groups to some mutually satisfactory settlement. In the three months of its life, the Toledo board has prevented two strikes and settled four aggravated labor disputes before they arrived at the strike or lockout stage. The plan grew out of the common desire both among workers and employers to bring to a close the labor wars which had peppered the map of. northern Ohio during 1933-34. In that period more than 500 strikes had taken place in the factories had been abandoned by capitalists who feared labor unrest in the two cities. McGrady proposed, and had approved, what is now known as the "Toledo peace plan." He be- lieves that it can avert 90 per cent of all strikes and lockouts if properly administered. It is a probability, officials say, the plan will be adopted in so many other cities that it will become, in ef- fect, a national program. The board, as organized in Toledo, includes 18 men who are recognized and trusted civic leaders. It includes six representatives each for labor, man- ufacturers and the public. Air Grievances Separately When a strike or lockout threatens, a sub-com- mittee of the board invites representatives of both the factory management and the workers to air their grievances alone before the committee. When the difficulties are understood, the two factions are brought together before the committee which offers some mutually acceptable plan. Nothing about the procedure is compulsory. Neither side is compelled to send representatives before the board. Neither side is forced to return for a joint meeting, nor does it have to accept the plan offered. But the Toledo board usually has found that both employers and employees feel they have much to gain if they are able to reach an agreement before their misunderstanding shuts down the plant which grinds out dividends for eand wages fnr the other.
