Brwn shirt VC0. v V1 311t* *s*" WHETHER the United States can be held responsible for Mayor Fio- rello LaGuardia's remarks against Hitler in the recently concluded "incident" is a moot question, but there can be no doubt as to the responsibility of the German "government for the tirade of abuse heaped upon this country by the press of Germany. Just how far a state should accept responsi- bility for the acts of its minor officials acting in an unofficial capacity has never been clearly defined by international law. Certainly it must be admitted. that LaGuardia is in no sense an official of the national governiment and it must be further admitted that his remarks concerning Hitler did not represent the attitude of the United States government. To those who might claim that LaGuardia was within his rights as an American citizen in referring to the Nazi dictator as he did, it should be pointed out that no nation can avoid the, re- sponsibility for an international delinquency simply because Its own national law permits such an act. Certainly LaGuardia could have been more careful even though acting unofficially. The German government cannot dodge its re- sponsibility for the attack made upon the United States and its civilization generally in the Ger- man press. In a country where a totalitarian government exists, and where the government rigorously censors everything that appears in the press, responsibility can be definflitely placed upon one point-the government. Confirmation of the German government's responsibility came several days ago, when the United States government entered a protest against the tactics of the Nazi newspapers. The government of Germany, apparently with a guilty conscience, immediately silenced the press and no word has subsequently been seen regard- ing LaGuardia and the "chamber of horrors." Of the nature of the attack made by the lead- ing German papers, suffice it to say that it was a Germany prematurely spitting harmless venom, like a young snake soon to be dangerous. Secretary Hull's note of regret to Germany was in good taste and there was an element of re- buke in his reference to the right of free speech in this country. Certainly the United States lost nothing in the exchange of opinions. 'Things To Come*... O THER UNIVERISITIES have long had in operation systems of demo- cratic student government. Through the apathy or lack of organization of independent men this campis has not. 9 Letters published in this column should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily.

Bates of the Law School, Uni- versity of Michigan, on February 22, 1937 As I have received no reply to this letter, I would like to inform the students through The Michigan Daily that I would be glad to debate the President's plan for the reorganization of the Supreme -Court with any of the Professors of the University who are opposed to the plan. I think this is necessary so that the students and especially the students in the Law Depart- ment should not get a perverted picture of what the President is trying to do. "Dear Mr. Bates: The President's program to increase the mem- bership of the Supyeme Court of the United States is a political issue. I seriously doubt the propriety of the law faculty of the University of Michigan taking an apparently positive and hostile attitude against this proposal regarding the' federal judiciary. I do not imply that, as individuals, the members of the faculty should not have the same right as other citizens of ex- pressing their opinions on the subject. The point I make is that the law department should not commit the University of Michigan to a position of opposition to the program of the President. The University of Michigan is a state institu- tion. It is supported by the taxpayers of this state, the overwhelming majority of whom have voted for the New Deal. The supporters of the President's proposal have not asked the Univer- sity to go out of its way to support the measure. Therefore, I do not think that the fac- ulty as a body shoul take any position at all upon this subject except to give every side of this controversy an opportunity for a fair hear- ing. Instead of adopting this course, I saw a state- ment of the law faculty apparently giving offi- cial expression of the disapproval by the Univer- sity of the President's plan. As a New Dealer, I am compelled to take issue with the assertions made in that statement. In fairness to the stu- dents of the University and to the people of this state, I feel that ample opportunity should be given for the students to hear both sides of this important issue. As early as 1934, I had foreseen the necessity of increasing the membership on the Supreme Bench so that the court would react reasonably to our social, economic, and industrial evolution. I am sending you herewith a copy of an address which I delivered on January 17, 1934 on "The Constitution and the New Deal." I call your special attention to page 4 where I predicted that Congress would be compelled, should the Supreme Court fail to judicially uphold the val- idity of the principal measures implemepting the New Deal, to increase the membership of the bench so that the court would be made respon- sive to the will of the people. I think you will be interested in reading the whole address. During the meantime, my position on the present controversy is well expressed in letters which I have sent to Senators Wheeler and Nor- ris. I am enclosing a copy of each of these letters. At the risk of repetition, I would suggest that the faculty of the University should affo the amplest opportunity for a complete, thorough, and unbiased discussion of this whole subject. I would be glad at any time to appear and present the views of a New Dealer on the program for the reorganization of the Supreme Court. In fact, I would be glad to debate this whole subject either with a member of the faculty or with any- one else whom you may select." -Patrick H. O'Brien. Bells: A Gentle Reminder To the Editor: With the cessation of the West Engineering Annex bells, some inconvenience has been caused to the students through late dismissals of classes. I have been in several where the "Pearls of Wisdom" have overflowed the hour glass due to the inaudibility of the Burton Bells. Why could not these Annex sounding time keepers be placed once more in operation so the classes would be more promptly dismissed and that an old tradition might be continued? I understand it was Secretary Shirley Smith who gave this order. -Frederick Reinheimer, '37. More Bels: A Rhythmic Monster To the Editor: An open letter to Vice-President Shirley Smith: "The chimes in the clock tower of the West En- gineering Annex will continue to ring until notice is received to stop them." Michigan Daily, Friday, BENEATH **** # ###* IT ALL ft-y Bonth Williams TAKE THREE MILLION people who are going somewhere in a hell of a hurry and a collec- tion of the finest hot spots east of Hyde Park, add a peculiar feeling of alertness and tension plus a host of crooning bartenders, season to taste with The Follies, cover with a net work of screeching 'L's' and dump down on the windswept tip of Lake Michigan. There, my constituents, you have Chicago, the city which makes Dynamic Detroit look just like Toonerville Junction. Until you've seen the corps of scrubwomen who scrape the gum off the engraved inscriptions on the floor of Tribune Tower while the cabs flash past in the wee hours, until you've talked with the gracious gentleman who is Arch Ward, and seen a really big paper go to town, until you've barrelled down Outer Drive at 50 miles an hour and been almost knocked off the road by pe6ple who must be about their business-until then, you haven't really seen Chicago. City of small bars and big bars, sweeping winds and the best traffic system in the world, America's second metropolis is in'every sense a big town. Everywhere the emphasis is on speed, speed, speed. FRED DeLANO and I hied ourselves, among other places, to the offices of the United Press in the Chicago Daily News Building where we talked to Boyd Lewis, the manager of the Chicago Bureau, and to Tribune Tower where Arch Ward, perhaps the greatest sports writer- promoter of all time sat back and chatted with us about sports in general. Ward it was who put across the All-Star base- ball game, the All-Star football games and inno- vated the idea of nationwide golden gloves tour- nies sponsored by newspapers, yet his unassum- ing manner and affable personality belie the fact that he is one of the great sports authorities of the world. Friday night the track clan met in Charlie Hoyt's room. Charlie was there, and Ken Doherty, and old Michigan stars of other days when Steve Farrell's track teams were as famous as Hoyt's are today. Just sitting there, the past greats, hashing and rehashing the meet until midnight, reliving other days when they ran for Michigan. Remember the name Tom Moore? Tom cap- tained the Iowa football team that almost beat Michigan out of a Conference championship back in the good old days. The Wolverines finally sneaked out of a snow-blanketed stadium with a 10-6 win that day, but Tom who is now a sports writer in Chicago, explained how bitter the Hawks felt after the game as he sat in a little spot around the corner and sipped McNair's. *, * * * THE NORTHWESTERN CAMPUS, 15 miles out of Chicago, which means about 20 minutes driving time, is also quite sdmething if you're looking for contrasts. Fraternity houses there are are built in a quad with the University owning 51 per cent of the stock and the fraternities paying rent on the other 49. Evanston itself is dry, the home of safe driving and the Anti-Saloon League, but cars are rife and the Border, like Wilmette Har- bor, the Northwestern Arboretum, is only two miles distant. According to the consensus of typical North- wesern students it takes from $1,500 to $2,000 to do the school year up in brown shape. And if the party the Delts threw in the Stevens Saturday night was any indication, I'd say the estimate was on the conservative side. Together with their alumni they took over the two top floors of that swanky establishment and staged a real set-to. For tops in entertainment, Fanny Brice and Bob Clark, together with the rest of that great Ziegfeld production, turn on a shop that is tops for music, beauty, and humor with a capital H. Fanny Brice, the old campaigner, is funnier than ever, as her hits and Gypsy Rose Lee's new rendition of an old routine top a show that is worth twenty screen reviews. Chicago is a big town in every respect but its bars. On Michigan Avenue the Spa is tops, a little corner job with a circular dispensary where they call everybody by his or .her first name and the bartender leads the assembled multitude in song. Also they have certain specified 15- minute periods 'r hen drinks are two for one plus a penny. Around the corner is the celebrated Kitty Da- vis' where another bartender attired in old- fashioned collar sits astride a jackass on a merry- go-round and encourages the patrons who are always three deep to shriek and pound on the bar.% BECAUSE a last-minute flood of ballots which have sorely tried the patience and facilities of the contest department, the complete compila- tion of William's None-Such Questionnaire will not be published until tomorrow. To date 180 names have been submitted in the competition for Michigan's Fairest males, together with an imposing array of pipe courses, interesting professors and well dressed men. Wednesday morning's Daily will carry a com- plete list of the winners and runners up in all departments, with significant awards listed. ye sing. Oh, bells, ring forth again. Even though your 5:30 bell strikes tuneless, that is you. We accept you, oh bells. SCREEN When You'relit Love AT THE MICHIGAN If Grace Moore's cinema popularity jhas been on the wane since her smash hit four pictures ago, When You're In Love should restore it. Miss Moore sings popular melodies beautifully, is photographed exceptionally well, and has been given a story which is a suc- cess on its own score. In this one Miss Moore is a fa- mous Australian opera star detained in Mexico because of immigration dif- ficulties. Also at the same hotel is individualistic artist, Cary Grant. As a last resort to get back into the States to fulfill a festival engage- ment, the diva marries the United States artist-citizen. It is a commer- cial-convenience idea until love en- ters the plot. But love does not enter without complications. All in all, a cleverly constructed entertaining story. Miss Moore's songs include Jerome Kern, Schubert, "Minnie the Mooch- er," and a few semi-popular num- bers. The music has a wide general appeal which should not offend even the most cultivated taste, because Miss Moore's voice is singing it with all of its glory. Despite the criticism of her rendition of "Minnie the I Moocher," it is one of the high spots of the picture. It is done with a zest- ful burlesque, and fits into the story continuity so naturally that I can't understand the objection. When You're In Love is entertain- ment with a capital "E"-the kind that anyone from anyplace should enjoy. -C.M.T. Savoyards Ahoy! By WILLIAM J. LICHTENWANGER To those myriad mortals whose musical bible has Trial by Jury for a Genesis and The Gondoliers for a ! Revelations, these next two weeks; will be sacred and Detroit the Holy City. D'Oyly Carte came to town yesterday and will reign supreme at the Cass from now until Easter. To some benighted souls Gilbert-and- Sullivan means nothing more than a lot of "particularly rapid, unin- telligible patter, which isn't gener- ally heard, and if it is, it doesn't mat- ter." To other, more fortunate, more enlightened beings, G and S is an in- stitution incapable of destruction by1 time, familiarity, or Ann Arbor earth- quakes. And the only true and *of- ficial custodian of that institution is the Rupert D'Oyly Carte Company,1 full-blooded offspring of the original Richard D'Oyly Carte group which1 started things back in the 'eighties. Of the entire series of 14 operas (counting the unsuccessful Thespis, Utopia, 'Limited, and The Grand Duke), Detroit will hear eight, plus 'the one-act Cox and Box which Sul- livan wrote before his collaborations7 with Gilbert. Mikado, Gondoliers,] and Iolanthe lead with three perfor- mances each; Yeoman of the Guard, 'Pinafore, and Cox and Box are next with two, and Pirates of Penzance, Trial by Jury, and Patience 'will each show once. The last named is apt to be the'ieast familiar to most peo- pie; because it points its satire at a temporary fad such as the Wilde esthetic movement instead of at an indestructible institution like the House of Peers, Patience has for some people lost the keen edge of itsi wit. But "there's a fascination fran- tic in a ruin that's romantic"; per- haps Patience, like 'Katisha, is now "sufficiently decayed." In memoriam A year ago yesterday at the Mich- igan League was heard the last con- cert of the season by a campus musi- cal organization which this year has been dormant-the U. of M. Little Symphony. This group of 13 ad- vanced players was organized and conducted by Thor Johnson, grad- uate student from North Carolina and faculty member of the School of Music. It first made its appearance during the 1934-1935 season, when its chief feat was a two-weeks Southern tour made during spring vacation. Last year, in addition to campus con- certs and out-of-town performances in this section of the state, the group made a five-weeks tour through the South and Southwest. Through thej individual abilities of the players andI their rigorous training together the group achieved a degree of perfec-' tion in orchestral playing seldom. hear here except in the larger pro- fessional symphonies. It has not been generally known that the reason for the organiza- tion's inactivity this season is the fact that the director, Thor Johnson, is enjoying a year's study in Central Europe. Last May Mr. Johnson won, through a competition conducted by a committee from the New England Conservatory in Boston, the Frank Huntington Beebe Award, providing for approximately a year's European residence and study, in any location chosen by the recipient.
