Conservatives And
The SpringParley.. .
N MAY 7, 8, and 9, about 500 stu-
dents and faculty members will
gather at the Union in the seventh annual ses-
sion of the Spring Parley to mould "A Program
For Our Times" in three days of hot debate and
panel discussions.
From a religious symposium, in seven years the
Parley has developed into an educational force
that lifts the veil of dogmatism from the con-
troversial problems of economics, philosophy,
sociology and political science. Issues that ob-
scure clear thought are thrashed out in the in-
terest of constructive ideas.
Nevertheless past Parleys have had their
faults, and each succeeding year has seen real
progress in their correction. An exceedingly
persistent fault, one that was done away
with to a large extent last year but not com-
pletely eliminated, has been the dominance of
liberal and radical groups whose enthusiasm
prevents a well-rounded discussion.
Accordiig to previous Parley committees this
dominance has resulted because of the difficulty
in securing conservative professors to serve on
the panel to uphold that point of view. This
condition has led many to the hasty conclusion
that conservatives either do not have a strong
and definable viewpoint or are incapable of de-
fending their position.
We do not believe this is so. The mistaken
feeling that the Parley is a place where. destruc-
tive criticism directed by liberals and radicals
rakes those in disagreement is more to blame.
To those who hold back their valuable serv-
ices because of this fear, it must be made clear
that "heckling of the faculty" on an emdtional
and personal basis is a distinct rarity during
the general sessions on Priday and completely
absent from the smaller section meetings on
Saturday,
It is exactly this scientific spirit that President
Ruthven commended so highly last year.
The strong attempt this year, in addition, to
making the Parley more constructive than ever
through the phrasing of definite topics and the
innovation of three introductory speeches of a
conflicting nature to start the general sessions,
explains why President Ruthven has come out
so strongly in its support again this year.
The District of Colunibia, Tennessee and South
Carolina are the only political subdivisions in the
United States that do not have laws controlling

THE FORUM
~maectrc Ftn Mail
To the Editor:
Having stuck my neck out in defense of Sheriff
Andres,- I may as well keep it out there in
spite of my fan mail in Thursday morning's
Daily.
To begin with, I will apologize to Mr. Lalond
of the Carpenter's Union for being misinformed
on the facts in relation to the recent strike on
the downtown bank construction. I was careless
enugh to set forth the facts as given in the
tWo local papers, since I had not covered the
story myself. Mr. Seiler told me yesterday after-
noon that when the men went on strike he
made application for union membership to settle
the dispute, and that the men then returned
to 'Work.
As for Mr. Chapman's answer, we are agreed
on the fact that the meeting was closed. Ad-
mission was by badge, and I understand, al-
though I cannot vouch for it, that even certain
badge numbers were being turned away. But we
differ on the question as to whether or not I was
present. Let Mr. Chapman ask the young
worker who 'Was acting as doorman whether a
persistent rporter spent a large share of the
evening just ouside the door, which was open
for a considerable period, and which was not
very thick. In addition, when the door was not
convenient, the windows opening into the alley
at the side of the Labor Temple were available.
I was there, not in any spying capacity, but be-
cause I am paid to get news stories.
We are apparently deadlocked on whether
there was any talk of strike, but while Mr.
Chapman cannot be documentally refuted since
there were no records, both a colleague of mine
who was present and I distinctly remember the
student who urged the workers to sit-down at
the hospital.
I have had a telephone conversation with Mr.
Neafus of the S.W.F. and we have arrived at
this solution of our differences: the man I quoted
as claiming a CIO offer of 5,000 Detroit workers
to effect a local sit-down was, at the time I talked
with him, two or three weeks ago, an authorized
CIO representative. Since then, Mr. Neafus in-
forms me, he has been fobidden to use their
name.
Still with Mr. Neafus, I admit that the other
two statements in that case came from the
plant management, but after all, not being an
adherent of either side, I am supposed to get
both sides of the story, and not pass judgment
on one or the other.
As for R.K.C., there is a misunderstanding in
some direction. My letter was intended to show
that local officials have some fear of outside
organizers getting the local workers into a type
of strike with which they are not in sympathy.
I am not opposed to organized labor and can
think of several places in town, at one of which
I worked for two years, which would be fit ma-
terial for legal organization and strike. My re-
porting of the hospital wrkers' meeting was
neither from "second-hand stories" nor "hear-
say," as I pointed out above.
A final point: Sheriff Andres does not have
to "try to cling to his job," as he can get
at least a two to one majority at the pols in
this county any time he feels like it, and has
done so three successive elections.

A Cmservative Southerner's Stad
To the Editor:
In recent issues of The Daily there have been
printed lett&s anent the racial question, regard-
ing in particular the rights of the Negro in the
North and the South. I do not wish to become
involved in the discussion as to whether or not,
race distinctions should be set up in the North,
that is imfaterial to me. However I do desire
to ekplain the social status of the colored race in
the South, and to give the reasons for this basis.
Like the much-criticized W.B.O., I also speak
the thoughts of a Southerner.
Perhaps the term "restriction" is not exactly
conducive to the complete comprehension of the
relations between negro and white man below
the Mason-Dixon line. I substitute "segrega-
tion" in its place. And the point upon which
I take issue with Messrs. Griffey, Lindsay, etc.
is the spirit with which the colored man regards
this "segregation."
Apparently some people misunderstandingly
believe that the Southern negro wishes to break
down the barriers of race distinction. Nothing
is further from the truth. Your typical Dixie
darkey will take any and all privileges that are
mistakingly offered him, it is true. But in his
heart he despises the white person who attempts
t'o put the two races on an equal social basis.
Furthermore, he will take advantage of any
letdown in the race barriers to presume upon
his benefactor to an unbelievable degree. This
is not mere hypothesis, it is a statement drawn
from actual fact. I have seen many Northern
vacationists relax their discipline over their
colored help to such an extent that soon the
negroes were literally doing as they pleased
about working or taking days off. I make an
exception in this ease of the few remaining old-
sters who were born and brought up in slavery-
their sense of loyalty to their master is so strong-
ly engrained that no amount of spoiling will
shake them from it.
In his recent letter published in the Daily,
C. B. Lindsay had a few interesting remarks
to make concerning the impositions laid upon
the Southe'n Negro, such as the "pill box" rail-
way coaches in which he had to ride, and the
schools supported by his own taxes which he
dare not enter. I have traveled on a great many
railways in the South and I have yet to find

By Bonth Williams
INTERCOLLEGIANNA Down in Columbus
where they think nothing of fracturing po-
licemen's skulls, the rah rah boys have turned
over a new leaf and are seriously considering
support of the April 22 Peace Conference . . .
Evidence that not all of the O.S.U. population is
playboy minded is substantiated by an official
survey which reveals that 36% of the male en-
rollment work their way through school, at least
in part. . . Lantern Sports Editor, Lou Goldberg,
agitating for a new Field House mentions the
fact that fewer Buck athletes would catch pneu-
monia if a properly heated sports palace were
provided. . . Purdue's Daily pulp, which appears
to rank among Conference papers in about the
same spot as the Boilermaker track teams, runs
a Daily column called The Bold and Black which
is most appropriately named . . . It takes my only
acquaintance on the Purdue. Campus, a Grand
Rapids gent named Carl Peth, for one of those
extra dirty rides . . . I suppose they must have
some sort of an emotional outlet in that god-
forsaken neck of the woods, however, where the
only compensation is a bar called The Blue
Blazer . . . Out at Iowa a circus much like the
Michigras will be thrown in the Field House this
week . . . In the Pitt Skyscraper the turmoil
never ceases between the fraternities and the
independents for the balance of power in the
student government . . . which could never hap-
pen here because neither side would have enough
incentive to work for . . . The University of Min-
nesota Union reports that it annually shears a
hundred pounds of Gopher hair . . . and I'll bet
85 of that 100 pounds is blond . . . Speaking of
peculiar schools, the Minnesotas open their cur-
rent ball -season April 16 with the strong Gus-
tavus Adolphus nine . . . The Daily Pennsylvan-
ian plays the fraternity bridge tournament as
a lead story on the front page . . . Chicago has
virtually the same ruling as Michigan in reards
to the passing out of handbills on the campus.
Five students were recently suspended for dis-
tributing circulars which condemned support of
the Pontiac Varsity Show, the first of which
took place here in Ann Arbor last winter . . . At
the University of Colorado they still call inde-
pendents Barbs . . . Manush is leading the slug-
gers again with a .483 average, but it's not
Heinie. This is a boy named Art who plays
left field for Iowa and has banged out 15 hits
in 31 trips to the plate .. .
TWO OF THE BEST around the publications
building are riding it out in a stretch duel
in a race where the winner takes all. Bud Lun-
dahl and Johnny McFae, both Sphinxes and
both tops, are battling and scrapping for Frank
Dannemiller's job as managing editor of the
'Ensian-and they both can't win.
Johnny is in the tough spot of having family
traditions to uphold. Brothers Ben and Bill held
the job before him and naturally he wants to
make it three in a row.
Bud, Phi Psi, and aces with everybody, is fight-
ing the McFate dynasty and putting up a real
battle. Both he and Johnny are on the best
of terms and fully realize the situation. Lots
of luck to both of 'em.
A ND SPEAKING of younger brothers I can't
. help thinking that some of them are dropped
into pretty tough slots. Elder brothers before
them have made Phi Beta Kappa, been football
stars, or publications men of note, and the
next in line, because they bear the same name,
are supposed to attain the same heights.
This year's crop of freshmen has brought a
lot of younger brothers close on the heels of
elders who either through exceptional ability or
a good share of the breaks got to the top in a
particular field.
Paul Park, Johnny Park, Daily Business man-
ager's kid brother, is a freshman. Jack Kleene,
little brother of the famous Tom, Daily editor, is
following in the Alpha Delt footsteps of Blimp.
Gus Dannemiller, fresh from Canton, is out
for the 'Ensian and the job Frank now holds.
Gib James has a kid brother who will try to
emulate the great record the sly Canadian has
set here as a ranking hockey player. There's
a younger Fesenfeld in School. Vic Heyliger's
brother plans to enter next fall, and so it goes.
Bill Heston, Jr., found the strain of his fa-
ther's name too much for him here. The pres-t
sure was on every time he took the ball. The
papers played up "a second Heston" whenever
he donned a uniform. Bill couldn't stand it.
His brother Jack, came along without all the
shouting and turned into a high-class halfback.
Names are a tough thing to buck, and lucky
is the freshman who enters Michigan a$ the first
of his line without any family tradition to up-
hold. If he succeeds, swell, if he misses, he's just
unlucky and what of it.
Everybody takes the success of a great name
for granted, that's what's so tough about it.
THIS, My CONSTITUENTS, being the last is-
sue of The Daily until after the ten-day
glad making period, I tender to all best wishes
for a swell vacation and remind you that, accord-
ing to authentic reports, a third of all liquor
now being sold is bootleg.
To all of us who are going to spend the ten
days in search of some form of employment for
the forthcoming graduation which looms not too
far distant, I wish added success. Also, if any
of your fathers run newspapers which are in
dire need of new talent, I would appreciate 'the
good word.' Don't fall off a train, anybody.

THE PRESIDENT would be right in!
assuming that the American
people bestowed on him a general
grant of leadership, but he cannot by'
any stretch of the imagination as-'
sume justly that they gave him a
mandate to undermine the strength'
of our judicial system or to impair'
the effectiveness of a life tenure as-
sured to judges by the Constitution.a
What objection, it will be naively
asked by many, can there be to a
simple increase in the number of
justices of the Supreme Court, espe-
cially since some are beyond 70-
There can never be any objection
to meeting an issue squarely andI
fairly in the American way. If lifef
tenure for federal judges is wrong, ifI
70 or 75 should be the compulsory
retirement limit, then the American1
people should have an opportunityI
to pass upon that particular question
directly. Mr. Rosevelt says:
"Modern complexities call for
a constant infusion of new blood
in the courts . . . A number of
states have recognized it by pro-
viding in their constitutionsfor
compulsory retirement of aged
judges."
The issue is clear. If there is any-
thing wrong with the life tenure
clause by all means let us change it
through an amendment to the Fed-
eral Constitution itself as we have
done in the states. George Wash-1
ington warned us against "amend-
ment" by usurpation of power and by
subterfuge. There can be no better
way to preserve our democratic pro-
cesses than to let the people decide
whether they want the system or
choosing justices of their courts

Obviously there is "uncertainty"
in our system of law. Obviously, too,
there are inequalities. If the Presi-
dent will look about him in the gov-
ernment bureaus and commissions in
Washington he will find plenty of ex-
amples of inequality and uncertainty
under his own jurisdiction. Will he,
for instance, deny that the National

packs
enough unch to make it one of the
notable bictures of the year. It bears
a strong likeness to "Fury," an out-
standing production of 1936, display-
ing equally fine production tech-
nique. It does not run so smoothly
through its entirety but there are
scenes that are extraordinary for
their dramatic power.
Henry Fonda plays a. role of an
ex-convict who has to buck all the
stigma of the label. From the first
night out of prison after he has
joined the girl who has been waiting
for him, all conceivable forces work
against his attempt to go straight.
The climax comes when he is con-
victed to the electric chair for a
crime of which he was innocent. His
wife (Sylvia Sydney) sticks by him
through it all, until the ending,
which is not the usual "movie end-
ing."
Both Sylvia Sydney and Henry
Fonda carry their roles excellently.
