NIGHT EDITOR: WILLIAM SHACKELTON N -- Back Yard lWRiSSolini.*** A RMING THEM with tear gas, nau- seating gas, and "equipment," the local sheriff, Jacob B. Andres, is forming a special force of "Veterans' Military Police" to forestall any "violence, sit-down strike or mob rule," he announces in the papers. He will recruit members from the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. By creating a series of mobilization centers, the Sheriff will be able to call them together for action instantly, at any time of day or night. We say that this action has in it some of the elements of fascism. The police have a legitimate function in labor disputes. In Detroit they are engaged in ferret- ing out the gangster element in labor unions. These racketeers have tapewormed themselves into unions and are now serving to discredit the principle of legitimate trade-union activity, and the police, if they step there, are rendering unions an invaluable service. In New York Special Pros- ecutor Thomas E. Dewey over a long period has been painstakingly at work purging the unions of former bootleggers now making unions a paying racket. No one recognizes the existence of these elements in unions more than those who see the necessary part which legitimate trade unions are to play in our national economy. But we do not believe that police, vigilante and military force should be employed in in- timidating workers against striking, nor' in ar- bitrating sit-down strikes by violent ejection of the strikers. However noble may be the intentions of Sher- iff Andres, the effect of his widely-publicized mobilization of veterans will frighten workers to the point where they will be content to accept unjust conditions rather than risk the clubs and gas of Andres' Vigilantes. He is in fact mobiliz- ing veterans (they were suckers once before) to the defense of private property and the rights of owners to their six per cent. Several days ago we spoke in these columns of the reaction among the middleclass to the rising prices, and the danger of fascist organiza- tions expressing this dissatisfaction against the working class, instead of our meeting the prob- lem with legislation for the regulation of min- imum wages, maximum hours and prices and the arbitration of labor disputes. Sheriff Andres' Vigilante Crew is a manifestation of this reac- tion. It is in such a form that fascism will come, if it ever should, to America. It will not, perhaps carry the shirt motif, but it will have at its base such organizations as the Black Le- gion, the Liberty League, the National Union for Social Justice and Andres' Vigilantes. r Mystery Story... RADIO By TUURE TENANDER 0NE OF THE FINEST PIANQ DUOS to be heard on the air, Ethel Bartlett and Rae Robertson, really Mr. and Mrs. Robertson, will be featured on the Ford Sunday Evening Hour to- night. The orchestra will be under the direction of Fritz Reiner and the program will include the prelude to "Die Meistersinger," Wagner; "Ron- do," Chopin; "The Beautiful Blue Danube," Strauss, Schulz and Evler; and the "Treasure Waltz," from "The Gypsy Baron," Strauss. The Robertsons are from England. This is their ninth American tour. , Bette Davis will present a preview of her new motion picture "Marked Woman" at 9 p.m. Friday over the Columbia Broadcasting System. John Boles, the movie star who is constantly raising a mustache so that he can trim it off again, will be heard on Jack Oakie's College Tuesday. Frank Fay will match wits with Oakie during the same broadcast. * * * The commercials on Ted Weems' Sunday noon- time program are some of the worst that have yet been sent over the air. Some person with an accent that is obviously rehearsed all week pur- ports to be from Vienna and dispenses in gut- tural tones some facts as to why it is necessary to have the particles in your facial treatment all the same size. These plugs, in addition to the fact that Ted Weems is, after all, only Ted Weems, makes the program hardly worth lis- tening to. Trombonist Plays Barrelhouse THERE IS BAND BROADCASTING from the Meadowbrook in New Jersey over CBS sev- eral times a week that plays in a style that is catching on. Les Brown is the maestro fronting the band and he has come up from an engage- ment in Louisville's Casa Madrid. He has a good drummer who gives the organization a great deal of lift. His trombonist plays effortlessly and has developed an easygoing barrel-house manner that ranks with the styles of better known men. The clarinet man plays easily, at times too limpidly, and the tenor man has a good tone but lacks versatility, The hot trumpet might achieve some fine results if he could resist his temptation to climb sky-high. All in all, however, Brown has a fine organization and should improve with age. Sir Herbert Samuel, leatler of the old guard Liberal Party in England and chairman of the Council for German Jewry, will be one of the speakers on the international broadcast at 6 p.m. Saturday on the occasion of Passover. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise will give his greetings to the Jews of America from New York City and Sir Herbert will speak ,from London. * * * * Marian Anderson, Negro contralto, will be the soloist on tonight's General Motors Concert. This will be Miss Anderson's first American ap- pearance of the season: She will sing "Ave Maria," and "Death and the Maiden," Schubert; "O mio Fernando" from "La Favorita," Doni- zetti; and two Negro spirituals. The orchestra will include in its share of the program "Fin- landia," Sibelius; "Artist's Life," Strauss; and Symphony No. 2 in D Major, opus 73, Brahms. , , , * WEEK INREVIEW NATIONAL Sitting Tight LABOR CONTINUED to top the news of the week. Maintaining his Flint policy of 'rea- son and justice,' Governor Murphy issued a state- ment Wednesday appealing for peaceful solution of the Chrysler sit-down strike. Newspapers throughout the land rantheadlines over the story containing Murphy's statement, interpreting his words as stern warnings to workers who were 'flouting law and order.' Particular emphasis was put on the need fbr legislation modeled after the NRA for the miti- gation of serious capital-labor controversies. He went on to say that "many of our troubles and disorders are due to injustices and unhealthy conditions that are inherent in an unregulated competitive system. We may say also that the refusal of backward employers to recognize prop- erly the right to collective bargaining has con- tributed in good measure to the present unfor- tunate situation." Judge Allan Campbell granted an injunction to the Chrysler Corporation providing for the evacuation of the company's plants. Failure to obey the order carried a fine of $10,000,000 against all the possessions of all of more than 100 named defendants. Workers remained staunch in their refusal to leave the $50,000,000 Chrysler works unless they are recognized as sole bargaining agents. Both sides continued to sit tight while conciliators attempted to bring about peaceful solutions despite sheriff's organ- ization of armed forces. * *~ * * A SECOND MORAL VICTORY for labor came in the form of National Labor Relations Board action against Remington Rand, Inc. Earlier in the week the Board had ordered the company to reinstate 4,000 workers thrown out of work last May when their strike was broken. The company maintained that it had not violated the Wagner Labor Relations Act as charged and refused to comply. Not to be embarrassed by lack of force to carry out its order the Board initiated court action. The company quickly signed an agreement with the strikers. s More Court Proposals A comparatively quiet week passed for the Su- preme Court battle thatis being waged through- out the nation as more suggestions for coping with the court problem came up out of the pro- fuse discussion. This week's suggestion number one-Senator Pittman urges modification of the President's proposal to increase the membership of the Court from nine to fifteen justices. In addition he ad- vocates a constitutional amendment to fix the membership at that number "to reassure hesi- tant liberals who fear the precedent which might be established." This week's suggestion number two--spry old Senator Norris advanced a plan for a Congres- sional act requiring a two-thirds vote by the Supreme Court to invalidate acts of Congress plus an amendment fixing tenure at nine years for all federal justices. TRAGEDY visited the Texas oil fields Thurs- day when a New London school explosion destroyed the lives of between 500 and 700 chil- dren and teachers. The removal of mangled bodies from the debris combined with mothers' hysteria added to the traged, as martial law was clamped down on the city by Governor Allred and an investigation uegun. FOREIGN Weathering Storms The French Popular Front government, stand- ing on a three-legged base, remained firm this week while new fascist-communist fighting broke out in the streets of working class Clichy. A fas- cist motion picture was presented at a theatre in the heart of communist territory (the work- ing class suburbs of the city are known as "the Red Ring around Paris"). Workers in the area protested to the police to prohibit the gathering, had their protest brushed aside, became enraged at the fascists and were provoked into bloody street fighting. A half day strike by Parisian workers followed to protest the Social Party, a new cloak for the old fascist Croix de Feu, aspirants to dictatorship in France. The arrest of de La Rocque was de- manded. Schneider-Creusot, one of the world's largest producers of war materials passed into the hands of the French government Sunday, conforming to the promise on which Blum was elected to his office. MADRID'S LOYALIST FORCES beat back a concerted drive of Italian and German troops with the aid of 492 bombs dropped and 200,000 machine gun bullets fired. Forty-five miles from Madrid, in the Guadalajara moun- tains, the government forces checked the drive and immediately assumed the offensive to stem the advances. In London machinery was set in motion to investigate reports that Italy had permitted "vol- unteers" to enter Spain, violating the non-inter- vention agreement. :r THEATRE -Costumes, 'Henry VI'- By JAMES DOLL N VIEW of the production of Shakespeare's Henry VIII which Play Production now has in rehearsal, it seems an appropriate time to the- orize about stage costuming in gen- eral and its application to the current job of designing and building about 80 sets of costumes. The purpose of stage costuming is often misunderstood. Too much at- tention is given to display and purely pictorialsvalues, too little to theureal function of the design: to aid in the iinterpretation of the play. The cos- tumes should never be a medium for the designer's ingenuity or virtuosity but should, without calling attention to themselves, be subservient to the director's conception of the play. In a sense costumes are almost more im- portant than scenery as they are al- most as much a medium for the ac- tor's expression as his body. In Henry VIII the first problem is to decide which period will be used- that of the action, 1520-33, or of the writing and first. performance, 1613. That it was originally played in con- temporary costume may possibly be inferred from the anachronistic men- tion of3"short" blist'red breeches" But this seems hardly advisable for a modern audience. The Hol- bein portraits of Henry and his court are so well known that these char- acters would not look right dressed in Jacobean costume. It might seem affected and call attention to itself. So this production will use the cos- tume of the early 16th century. Yet for the dancers in Katherine's vision, the prologue, and the "mas- quers habited like shepherds" in the ballroom scene, costumes based on Inigo Jones designs for court mas- ques of the period of the play seem to be called for. -Much Research Needed- The primary source for costume re- search for the period is Holbein's, wood-cuts, paintings, and drawings. It is necessary to have this and the other available material well in mind so that the designs can be freely and easily worked out. As the project goes on many details must be checked. There are, in the play, the historic- al ceremonies of the coronation of Anne Boleyn, the trial of Katherine, and the christening of the infant Elizabeth. It is sometimes possible to find in Hall's Chronicle's exactly what the principals wore at those events. Moreover descriptions are supplied at unusual length in the play itself. Neverthelessit may not be advis- able even if it were possible, to be entirely authentic. First, because this may not convey the desired im- pression to a present-day audience. Second, strict accuracy cannot be maintained because Shakespeare and his collaborator departed from it. The actual christening of Elizabeth, for example, was very different from the way it is depicted in the play. It all resolves into knowing the play, understanding it thoroughly, not only by itself, but, as far as pos- sible, in relation to the literature and art of the period. -Costume Reflects Age- While a play should not look like an animated costume-book, it is often true that the more one holds to au- thenticity the better it is for the play. The relation between the dress and the life, art, and social conditions of a period has. scarcely been investigat- ed. In certain periods, the 18th cen- tury for example, this relation can be quite easily demonstrated. And the differences between the costume in the first and last years of the 16th century seem to parallel th differ- ences not only in the other decorative arts, but in the literatures as well. A detail like lace, is an example. It was not worn at all in Henry's time, profusely used in Elizabeth's. With- out carrying the point too far it seems definitive of the two ages. This much carries one only to the beginning of the actual design. It must be conceived as a unit with careful relation between its parts. There must be emphasis, climax, and consideration of character relation- ships. Almost all the characters in the play are nobles and from the point of strict logic all but the royal- ty would be equallyaelaborate. Norfolk, in almost the opening lines of the play in describing the meet- ing on the Field of the Cloth of Gold, says: "Today the French, All cliquent, all in gold, like heathen gods, Shown down the British, and tomorrow, they Made Britain India: every man that stood Show'd like a mine." If this were attempted it would be destracting rather than effective. The most important characters must be emphasized in color and design. The color relation is especially valuable in establishing the relationship of characters to each other and to the whole. Although color is very im- portant psychologically, experiments DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Bulletin is constructive notice to al members of the University.
