BOOZER to be in the possession of officers for the preser- vation of discipline. This act shall not apply to an American republic at war with a non-American State, providing the American republic is not cooper- ating with non-American States in such a war. A more detailed examination of these pro7 visions, and a discussion of those which the resolution has omitted, will be the subject of a forthcoming editorial THE FORUM Law School Vs. Neal To the Editor: Mr. Fred Neal, in an article in Wednesday's Daily dealing with the proposed reform of the Supreme Court, included jne by implication among those inthe Law Faculty who are oppos- ing the President's plan. Not that it matters much but just to keep the record straight I wish to make it clear that I do not share the alarm felt by those of our number who have announced themselves as against the President's proposal. Incidentally I am curious to know the method used by Mr. Neal in peeping behind the curtain of the election booth to determine just how the members of our faculty voted in the November election. I am tempted to think that the Daily Assistant Editor is almost wrong in at least one instance, because one member of the faculty whom Mr. Neal pigeon-holed so neatly almost voted for Roosevelt. He told me so. -Hobart Coffey. A V iolation Of Confidence To the Editor: I want to enter a vigorous protest regarding the breach of faith just committed by one of your reporters-Mr. Fred Warner Neal. Last week he approached me for an interview about the pending proposal to add to the membership of the Supreme Court. On the distinct under- standing that I was to see the write-up before publication, I gave him certain materials, includ- ing a letter which had been sent to Senator Ashurst. He submitted a draft of his report of our interview from which I deleted substan- tial portions. These did not correctly represelt my views and, so far as they were acceptable, they were not views which I wanted to express publicly. Mr. Neal promised to redraft his article and allow me to see it again. This he did. Some of the objectionable portions were still in the re- draft. I cut them out and the interview ap- peared last Saturday, in the form in which I had approved it. But on Wednesday of this week in another ar- ticle, dealing with the subject of the Supreme Court proposal, Mr. Neal included all ofuthe material which I had stricken out. He quoted me as saying all of the things to which I had objected. The points on which I was quoted were not so very important in themselves. But I do regard the publication of them as a gross violation of confidence and contrary to all good standards of newspaper practice. Mr. Neal has informed me that this happened by mistake in the office. Even if this is the case, it is the sort of mistake which ought not to happen. Very na- turally I shall refuse henceforth to be interviewed on any subject by a reporter from The Daily, unless it is made clear by The Daily that it re- pudiates such practices. I have no doubt that many of my colleagues on the faculty will adopt the same attitude. -Prof. Burke Sbartel In Reply (EDTOR'S NOTE: The Daily deeply regrets the inclusion of Professor Shartel's personal beliefs. It has always been and always will be the policy of The Daily to respect confidences which are re- vealed to members of The Daily staff. An erplana- tory note by Mr. Neal follows): It is extremely regrettable that Professor Shar- tel should have placed on the article referred to the interpretation he did. If a confidence were broken, it was wholly unintentional. As the editors' note above it indicated, the article was a summary and analysis of the points of view expressed regarding the President's plan to increase the membership of the Supreme Court. It was particularly concerned with in- terviews with members of the faculty that had appeared the preceding week an interview with Professor Shartel among them. Such an article it seems clear, necessitates a considerable amount of interpretation and opinion. Professor. Shartel's plan for compulsory re- tirement of Supreme Court justices, it seems equally clear, would work out to force the resig- nation of certain members of the Court. That part of the article which said "Professor Shartel thinks" his plan would have worked out in a certain manner was not meant to have been interpreted as saying that he expressed himself as having those beliefs. It is true, however, that the inclusion of the word "apparently," i.e., "Professor Shartel ap- parently thinks . . . ," would have made th'e meaning more clear. The Daily appreciates Professor Shartel's will- ingness to be interviewed on a topic of such vital importance as the President's Supreme Court proposal. If he must think that I am guilty of such a gross violation of newspaper ethics, I hope that he and other readers of this paper will think more charitably of other members of our staff. As to Professor Coffey, he was not in my mind at the time that I wrote the article to which he refers. -Fred Warner Neal. BENEATH **** ******~ IT ALL on--By Bonth Williams COLLEGE STUDENTS, university professors, and that great bulk of American people who furnish us with both and term themselves the "upper middle class" are in my opinion, the least understanding of people outside their own social class. They refer to all persons in factories and fill- ing stations, mines and construction gangs, sewers and soda fountains as the "lower class." Collectively they treat them as a group whose actions are unexplainable and condemn them to the bottom of the social scale. This outburst because for the thousandth time I have heard someone recount his experience with one kind of factory worker or another. As usual he explained that "the fellows weren't so bad" and acted as if nobody would believe him. Middle class dawdlers, professing a deep and significant interest in "labor" thought they knew just what the factory worker believed and what he wanted, yet they treated every man that works with his hands, whether he was an expert machinist at $2 an hour or a sweeper at $18 a week, in exactly the same way. Now they know better, some better, and they will keep on learning in what will probably be one of the most costly educational campaigns in the history of industry. Two summers on a furnace have given me enough of an insight into factories and condi- tions to realize that strife will continue as long as the average middle-class person believes the industrial problem can be solved by studying "labor" as if it were a queer species of the race put up in a giant test tube. The only difference between a factory worker and a typical so called "middle class" American is that in the factory worker you will find less sham, less hypocrisy, and less cheap subterfuge. Away from the environs of the shop, young fellows are transformed into the kind of people you see every day in busses and barber shops. They play golf, they swim, they fish, they drink beer, and they ride in automobiles-almost like real human beings, THE POINT that I am interested in driving home is that these factory workers eat and sleep and think and love, not like a great in- tangible mass called "labor," but rather like you and me. They are not any queerer, man for man than the frequenters of the movies or the ball parks. They are the people who support the movies and the ball teams, and they are the people who get the most out of them, not because they are any smarter than any other class, but because they are not spoiled by cynicism or super- suavity. Still, if you were to tell a college girl in a tight fitting ; red sweater, that the decently- dressed ordinary individual sitting next to her at the Michigan worked all day stripped to the waist with sweat pouring off his body, she'd . . . God knows what she would do. The ordinary shop workers are sincere, they are honest, and they are happy. They lead nor- mal lives adjusted to livable incomes, and they prosper and rear families in comparative con- tentment. What else has life to offer? They appreciate the pleasures of living unhampered by farce and unfettered by middle class convention. They are the real America and as long as America has a class like them there is little reason to fear either serious uprising or drastic dictator ships. As Others See It Three 'Rahs For Michigan (From The St. Louis Post-Dispatch) THE CAMERA presents a girl student, "one of the 10 most beautiful co-eds at University, of Michigan," who did NOT compete in the "Big Ten Beauty Contest," at Northwestern. Michigan, her Dean of Women explains, does not sanction beauty contests. Good for Michigan. There are institutions, if that word may be atrociously misused, where the beauty contest, properly enough, is the cal- endar's ranking ceremonial. For example, the storied halls of Hollywood's kindergarten. Per- haps, too, the tableau may becomingly occupy a niche in the economy of fashion. But it just does not belong in the atmosphere of higher learning. Pinch-hitting for Emily Post in this instancet we are confident the official scorer will credit us with whamming the apple over the fence. there are some of us who can see how religion is related to the mechanical, the sociological, the physiological, the hygienic, and what have you. There are a few of us left, I dare say, who consider religion as essential to an organic view of life and an organic view of life essential to religion. The attempt of President Ruthven to bring religion into a more vital relationship with students on the campus is only a reflec- tion of the growing interest in religion every- where. If this attempt fails to develop into more than a discussion group with little refreshing insight it will not be because Christianity is a "stinking -corpse" but because we who call our- selves Christian deserve to rot. T n.... i r T - --., - '..:.3.. .. . . ,. MUSIC Peer Gynt And (ieg By WILLIAM J. LICITENWANGER O THE THEATRE-GOER, the cur- rent production of Peer Gynt by the Tatterman Marionettes affords the opportunity of seeing given in perhaps the ideal manner, one of the most significant but infrequently per- formed of Ibsen's plays. From a pure- ly musical standpoint, the production offers an opportunity which is equal- ly rare in the playing, by the Univer- sity Symphony Orchestra, of the more important of the musical numbers composed by Edvard Grieg as inci- dental music to the drama. Not that the music itself is unknown-in the matter of frequency of performance Grieg's music has fared much bet- ter than Ibsen's play. As "Peer Gynt Suite No. 1," the pieces entitled "Morning Moods," "Ase's Death," An- itra's Dance," and "In the Hall of the Mountain King" have become the property of a wide musical public; and with the four movements of Suite No. 11, they constitute perhaps the best, and certainly the best known, of Grieg's compositions. But, although detachment from the stage for concert purposes brings mu- sic of this type greater recognition and appreciation, it also causes it to lose something of its own peculiar beauty and significance. In the case of the Peer Gynt music this is espe- cially true, for the reason that this music was composed, at the request of the dramatist, as a vital element of the original stage production- and not merely affixed to some sub- sequent production, as was the case with the Egmont music of Beethoven or the Midsummer Night's Dream of Mendlessohn. Ibsen himself outlined the plan of the musical score and specified in a general way the char- acter of the various numbers. Work- ing from these suggestions, and from the more potent implications of the poem itself, Grieg composed a num- ber of highly effective pieces of mu- sic which aid greatly in intensifyig the poetic and dramatic qualities of the play. Following its premiere in Christiana in 1876, the production en- joyed a success to which the fantas- tic and unwieldy drama might never have attained without the unifying and intensifying support of the mu- sic. Because of the lack of universal interest in the poem and the difficul- ties in staging it, Peer Gynt is not often performed outside of Scandi- navia, and therefore Grieg's music is known almost entirely through the two orchestral suites and several songs arranged for concert perform- ance by the composer. To hear this music in its direct relationship to the drama is a privilege. The musical score composed by Grieg comprises, in all, 22 numbers, many of which are only brief inter- ludes or fragments of song. In rear- ranging the score for use in the pres- ent production only 10, the larger and more important, numbers have been retained. In addition to the four pieces of the First Suite, listed above, these include "Ingrid's Lament," which precedes Act II; the oriental- colored "Abrabian Dance" which im- mediately precedes Anitra's more in- timate and seductive one; the tem- pestuous "Peer Gynt's Homecoming," denoting as prelude to the last act, the wrecking of Peer's ship on his native coast; tdhe song of the middle- aged Solvejg in which she reaffirms her love for and faith in her wander- ing lover; the country dance played by a peasant fiddler for the wedding festivities in the first act; and the final, tenderly sorrowful "Cradle Song" of Solvejg which brings the drama to its close. Officers Break Fansteel Strike With.

According Senator Key Pittman, the author of the bill, e provisions "do not attempt to construe, termine or deal with the controversial and rthical question of so-called neutrality."
