HE DAILY has, on occasion, crit- icized Fortune magazine for its not wholly unbiased stands on social and eco- nomic problems and for its glorification of Big Business on Ziegfeldian lines. There comes a time in every man's life, however, and to Mr. =tuce befalls the honor of having his October Fortune present an excellent survey of unem- ployment. We should like to quote the New Republic's comment on the study as an intelligent ap- praisal of Fortune's work. "No single investigation has cost the magazine Fortune more money than the $12,000 study Dn unemployment just completed. Its conclu- sions, published in the October issue, are that workers on relief are not bums, that they have had little education, that they were not fired because they were unable to do their jobs, that they do not ask for too much help and that pri- vate industry has put about half of them back to work since 1935. The survey shows, in addi- tion, that while there is now a shortage of skilled labor, there is an abundance of unskilled workers no employed by the WPA (which, Fortune at- tests, is performing efficiently). Finally, the in- vestigation has shown that local communities are not doing so good a job in giving direct relief to the unemployables among the unemployed as the federal government did two years ago. For- tune has contributed a valuable service. The method used was to "sample" representative communities throughout the country by sending a field crew into each to observe, question and gather statistics-the same method it has em- ployed in gathering data for its accurate Quai- terly Surveys. The New Republic is pleased to have Fortune concur in the views about the un- employed that we have been printing (on un- coated stock) for a good many years." Benito Coeur de Lion. . . THE PECULIAR purpose of the non-intervention committee in the Spanish war seems more and more to consist of protecting the intervention of foreign powers on the side of the Franco rebels. The latest demon- stration of this has been the unique conduct of the committee now sitting in London in connec- tion with the withdrawal of foreign'troops from both sides. At first Mussolini was willing to make the truly fascist concession of withdrawing as many Ital- ians from the insurgent side as other nations would withdraw of their nationals fighting for the Loyalist government. This would amount to perhaps 5,000 or 10,000 of the 200,000 or more regular Italian troops at present actively engaged in Spain, to say nothing of the fact that the volunteers of the Government's International Brigades are in no way comparable under inter- national law with the Italian mercenaries, sent UNDER THE CLOCK with DISRAELI IN A WEEK OR SO the doings of Trixie Tridelt and Philbert Phipsi as they dip along the Diag- onal are going to become national news via a big broadcasting station in Detroit. And a couple of bright young Michigan men who possess a voice with that certain something will be on the transmitting end from the studio in Morris Hall. A large cigarette company is working a tieup with the Daily to present nightly broad- casts of campus news flashes by two students chosen by competition. Plans are not yet com- plete, but the whole set-up will probably be similar to Yale's where the winners of the campus-wide contest alternate with the blurbs each night. Everyone was eligible to compete and the two chosen as contest judges were John B. Kennedy and Edwin C. Hill. Contracts are offered for a year. At Yale the hookup is purely local on a low-power station, but as WJR is the only possible outlet for Morris Hall the caperings of the Ann Arbor campus will be gossip in many of the surrounding states. Don't say we didn't warn you. The judges will probably be the same when the competition is announced with the possible inclusion of Ty Tyson-this is just a rumor understand-but you guess why-and scripts will be strictly local written by Daily men. What the demands of the judges will be we don't know, but -if anyone has some good Speech 31 notes could we please borrow them? * * .; WE HAVE STAYED away from any mention of Ty Tyson and his broadcast last Saturday for the particular reason that we didn't hear him. But underneath we have a soft spot in our hearts for Ty, no matter what effect the combined elements of fire, water and wind may have upon him. It goes back to when we were a sophomdre with the football team up on Morningside Heights in New York for the Co- lumbia game. It was a big Michigan day, the Wolverines running up the biggest score since 1933. All day we played ou usual steady and consistent game, a well oiled cog in a wheel of twenty or so others. At the beginning of the see- ond half Mel Kramer was bumped on the head. He was down. But soon he was up again. An- other play and Mel had another bump on his head. The coach looked at us. We were up. So was Mel. We were down. A little later Mel got bopped completely. The coach said to us, "Warm up." This time two or three players picked Mel up, so we were down again. Three minutes later the coach looked at us. We warmed up. We warmed up so much that afternoon, people outside the Stadium thought it was a three-alarm fire. After a while, people gave up watching the game and a busload of bookies from downtown pulled up offering odds on our going in. But someone was always getting Mel into position and that, was the way the game ended. But when we arrived in Ann Arbor the next afternoon there was a contingent of ad- miring friends eager to shake our hand and clap us on the back. "Nice game, kid! Nice game!" It made us kind of sore, but in a min- ute we saw that they meant it so we kept still. But a little afterwards we talked around and found that Ty Tyson had gotten awfully tired of seeing us warming up on the sidelines and in a burst of generosity at the beginning of the fourth quarter, had sent us into the game, adding for good measure the credit for a goodly number of tackles. ** *~ * THE COMPLAINT OF THE FAIR COLUMNIST ('with due regard to Francois Villon) (He addresses his soul) No columnist can write alone; God knows with feeble hands I've tried To strike the chord, to sound the tone- Yet hear the music, cracked and dried. O send contributors to guide These hands that Poesy forsook, To tan my shirking Muse's hide In some secluded inglenook. O send contributors to loan A narrow wit or humor wide, Contributors to bare the bone, And show the heart that beats inside; Who'd write until the angels cried And hell's infernal portals shook, To gently scold and softly chide In some secluded inglenook. With tea and talk again enthrone The gods whose hands too long are tied; Dismount our old decrepit roan And saddle Pegasus to ride: Have wine with Keats and tea with Brooke, And Shelley by the fireside In some secluded inglenook. feentc o Me BEYWOOD BROUN When the stock market was at its very worst I announced it was my intention to support it. But as things have turned out the only help from me has been moral support, which doesn't count for very much in Wall Street. Naturally an ex- planation should be given to the investing public. Many factors served to keep me on the bench and out of the actual goal line stand. In the first place, just as I was ready to rush in with aid and die for Dear Old Dividends, the market began to help itself. The coach called me back and told me to put on my sweater again. It begins to look as if I may never earn my market letter. I must admit that I fumbled the blue book from the savings bank. I never really got my hands on it, and the play went as an incomplete pass. In the beginning Connie seemed to agree en- thusiastically with the notion that we should support the market. But when it got down to dollars and cents I was disappointed to find that she had no intention of making it the kind of support to which Wall Street has been accus- tomed. Connie gets confused on Fridays if there are more than two kinds of fish on the menu, and when an entire stock market is set in front of her, indecision is raised to the nth power. * * * * Hundreds Of Key Issues Hundreds of key issues had begun to bounce up from the bottom, and there was I reaching for the blue book and ready to shoot the works. But Connie wanted something which you could get with a money-back guarantee. Indeed, I found that she wasn't really ready to put our hard-earned savings on the nose of any issue. She wanted a stock which you could play for show. I suggested a flyer in one of the companies in- volved in the manufacture of potable alcohol. Connie misconstrued my intentions. We dis- cussed at great length the technical position of the various motion picture companies, and the potentialities of rayon in the event of a world boycott of Japanese silk. That involved us in a rather acrimonious debate about Mussolini, and before I had won it, stocks had advanced on a wide front from one to thirteen points. I suggested that we must take time by the forelock and get ourselves a railroad, but Connie thought it would be better for me to consult first with Joe and Herbert and the waiter at Empire City who gives such good tips on the races. One of the difficulties of becoming an investor is that you have to get up so early, nordo I think that the machinery of Wall Street is anything like as efficient as that of other games of chance. * ,. '$* Easier To Bet On Races It is easier to get down a bet on the sixth at Rockingham than to buy ten shares of U.S. Steel. Nevertheless, I rose with the dawn for three successive mornings and went into consul- tation with various customers' men. I ap- proached the whole market problem from a broad point of view. I talked about diversifica- tion and my desire not to lay all my eggs in one basket. Everybody was very cordial. Indeed, one broker asked me what interests I represented. Finally a stock was selected. "Give me that blue book," I said. Connie clutched it, and instead, handed me a small wad of bills all in the lower denominations. "Go and buy two shares," she said. I haven't the heart. It would hurt my pride too much. I don't want to give any of those friendly brokers such an order. I want them to go on believing I'm an investment trust." On The Level By WRAG Midsemester exams must nearly be here be- cause the pre-views at all the theatres show that some good pictures are coming into town, and none of the cinemarkets ever have superior shows until everybody is too busy to see them. The theatre managers seem to plan their shows diabolically, because the movies that everyone wants to see come to town either during the mids., finals, or Christmas vaca- tion. * * * * At other times, the majority of movies that are shown here seem to have left Hollywood only because the producers prayed that Barnum was still correct. Local theatre managements apparently believe that students pay 35 cents so they can hold hands in a dark room and not to be entertained by what is on the screen. Once in a while a stage show comes to Ann Arbor, and they're all so rotten that they park their bus behind the theatre with the motor running so they can make a quick get-away. * * '$ * MUSIC By WILLIAM J. LICH TENWANGER Rachmaninoff Program Liszt, Bach, Rachmaninoff, Chopin. and Debussy are the composers chos- en by Sergei Rachmaninoff to furnish him with program material for his piano recital in Hill Auditorium to- night. The program will commence with the Liszt Prelude after J. S. Bach, "Weeping, Plaints.Sorrows, Fears," and will close with two lightly pro- grammatic etudes by the same com- poser, "Voices of the Woods" and "Dance of the Gnomes." Chopin will be represented by an Impromptu, Nocturne, Mazurka, and Scherzo, and Rachmaninoff himself by the Etude in E flat Minor. After the Liszt Prelude will be heard the so-called "Italian" Concerto of J. S. Bach, which was published in 1726, along with the B minor Partita, as the second part of the Clavieruebung, a collection of suites, partitas, and other harpsichord works. The Concerto was described by Bach in his title as being "in the Italian style," and was evidently inspired by the same de- voted study of the Italian masters which led the German to transcribe for organ and clavier a number of Vivaldi's orchestral concerti. CONCERTO'S FORM IS ITALIAN The form of the Concerto is dis- tinctly Italian, consisting of two rath- er gay and bustling fast movements separated by a slower one. This slow movement, however, is less Italianate than the other two, and has the same sort of flowing, rhapsodic melody, accompanied by a recurring figure in the bass, which makes the typical Bach slow movement as distinct in its way as the Beethoven. The most unusual thing about the Italian Concerto, however, is the fact that it constituted an experiment- unrepeated-by Bach in the transfer- ance of an orchestral form to a now obsolete solo instrument, the harpsi- chord with two keyboards. The pos- session of two manuals made it pos- sible for the harpsichord to duplicate, to some extent, the color and group contrasts afforded by the regular al- ternation of solo and tutti in the typical concerti of the day-as in Bach's own Brandenburg concerti, for instance. The two-manual instru- ment did not survive, however, and today the dual keyboards are merely represented by the right and left hands of the pianist. OPENING NUMBER BY DEBUSSY Debussy's S u i t e Bergamasque, which begins the second half of Mr. Rachmaninoff's program, is one of the composer's earlier works for pi- ano, although it was not written until 1890, Debussy's 29th year. The Suite comprises four movements: a Pre- lude, a Minuet, the familiar Clair du Lune,and a Passepied (an old French dance in triple time, but livelier than the minuet). In that it utilizes early classical dance forms, the Suite was one of the forerunners in that movement, par- ticipated in by the later Debussy, by Stravinsky, and by numerous other 20th century composers, which went back to the music of the 17th and 18th centuries for its models in re- gard to form and other superficial aspects. In harmonic coloring and the use of the piano, however, the Suite Berga- masque is throughly modern and or- iginal. The Clair du Lune, especially, is an early but excellent example of Debussy's genius for an atmospheric WEDNESDAY, OCT. 27, 1937 t VOL. XLVIII.
