FITZHENRY I, The editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of the Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. Who Opposes This Bill, Anyay?. , , T WOULD SEEM LOGICAL to infer that since there is a sizeable South- ern bloc in the Senate opposed to the anti-lynch- ing bill, that a majority of the constituents of these senators, and thus a great portion of the South, would also be opposed to the measure. Despite this supposition, among the influential newspapers in the deep south that support the bill and condemn the attempt to sabotage it by filibuster are: the New Orleans Tribune, the Louisville Courier-Journal, the Richmond Times- Dispatch, the Arkansas Gazette, the HeraldCour- ier (Bristol, Tenn.), the Greensboro (N.C.) Daily News, and the New Orleans Item. While Louisiana's Senator Ellender was in the midst of his six day filibuster, the Item declared editorially: "We have reason to believe that a majority of the Southern people favor federal action against lynching. So many of them do that a long filibuster would be a fight in a bad cause ... " At the same time that Senator MccKellar of Tennessee opposed the measure, the Herald Courier stated in an editorial: "Southern senators now attacking it (the bill) and filibustering against it do not reflect the sentiment of most -f the Southern people." In addition to these editorial comments the American Institute of Public Opinion recently showed that 57 per cent of the Southern voters fav--led the anti-lynching bill. "The anti-lynching bill is an attack on the South," screams the Senate opposition. "It in- sults Southern law enforcement officers," What part of the South, and what class, does the oppo- sition defend from "attack" and "insult?" Dennis Flanagan Is A Good Offense The Best Defense?... N EWS FROM the Capital indicates that President Roosevelt contem- plates seeking a large increase in the strength of the army, complementing the augmentation of the navy accomplished by the half billion dlollar appropriation passed last week by the House of Representatives. If the gigantic increase in the fleet so readily voted by the national legislature was reason for alarm, the present project is trebly so. For if it is difficult to conceive a war in which the navy would be used for a defensive purpose, it is next to impossible to envision the army in a defensive role. The land forces of the country could only be used defensively upon American soil; that is, if the nation were invaded by a hostile armed force. Rep. Taylor, chairman of the House appropria- tions committee, speaks of the necessity for the United States' "getting ready to defend itself." He informed the press that the President and chairmen of five house committees concerned with the natonal defense had discussed "what other countries had been doing" in their con- ference Tuesday. The conference was character- ized, he said, by "genera: determination to brace up on our preparedness." Few will dispute the necessity for maintaining a national defense of adequate strength in this generation of international immorality and ag- gTession, but before hastening into the greatest THE FORUM Residents Protest To the Editor: As residents of Allen-Rumsey House, we wish to take exception to a letter which appeared in the "Daily" of January 25. That letter did not express t. opinions of the majority of the residents. Although minor unsatisfactory con- ditions may exist in the dormitory, we can offer no complaints against either the management or the proctors. We should like to express our com- plete confidence in Mrs. Niles' ability and judg- ment as house director and to repudiate ma- liciously untrue charges made by a malcontent who chose to cover his craven anonymity with the signature "Allen-Rumsey House." EDITOR'S NOTE: The above communi- cation was signed by 31 residents of the Al- len-Rumsey Dormitories. Mr. Hinckley Again To the Editor: Now that the hornets' nest has been stirred up, I deem it necessary to correct a few false im- pressions which have apparently been created. Let it be understood, however, that I do not retract any statement which I made, although I deny several points which I was falsely accused of making; far be it from me to start anything that I can't at least attempt to finish. mn the first place, I objected not to Mr. Freed- mans criticism of "his (Ford's) defiance of the NLRB or his Japanese subsidiaries," but his ver- milion statements concerning the undesirabilty of possessing the qualities of "rugged individual- ism," which I still insist, despite the sarcastic comment from the more radical of the "Progres- sives," is constitutional Secondly, the editor's note appended to my letter in the January 21 issue of the Daily was grossly unfair, as were the deletions accorded my innocuous contribution to the Forum, inasmuch as it implied that I had branded Mr. Freedman a Communist (or communist); also it implied a lack of care in my perusal of the original edi- torial of January 19. Neither of these allegations is based on fact, and as a matter of form, I wish to express publicly my resentment. It is difficult to take seriously those who dis- parage by sarcasm and insinuation. I wrote my original letter in the hope of presenting the con- servative's side without indulging in personal. ities; I believed I had made that clear when I rebuked Mr. Freedman for neglecting to present any form of constructive criticism. Evidently, however, there are those that cannot enter into debate without losing sight of the main issues by the presentation of disconnected contradictory facts. It is a fault of the amateur logician to generalize on insufficient evidence-a single fact. Naturally there are policies of big business which are not strictly in accordance with the sympathies of either conservative or progressive; this I admit without hesitation. But in the name of heaven why must it naturally follow that these progressives must lay down laws and irrevocable opinions based on single instances which, as far as anyone lunows, may be excep- tions to the general rule? Just to prove that point. I acknowledge the care with which Mr. George G. Mutnick read my letter. He alone has been able to reason with his brains, rather than with his emotions. Out of four "progressives" who thought enough of the matter to express themselves about it, he is the only one who is willing to grant the opposition at least a few points. And if "Frank Merewether" would stick to his point instead of attempting to make our "valiant little band of true-blue Americans" appear ridic- ulous by allegedly profound verbiage interspersed with his own peculiar brand of sarcasm, he would gain much more appreciation and attention than he obviously has. I believe that it is just as well that "Merewether" achieved anonymity by his literary allusion, for it 'seems to me that his arguments are amorphous. True, they are stag- gering in their allegations and accusations, but if one stops to consider and analyze them, they are structures of words without logical founda- tion. Incidentally, "Mr. Merewether," what is so wrong with "true-blue Americanism?" Progress, Frank, is achieved by construction, not destruc- tion. I compliment Mr. Richard Loeb, 40, on his sarcasm; but what, oh what, is he talking about? It is a peculiar commentary that out of four persons who deigned to answer my letter, only Mr. Mutnick did not resort to sarcasm to prove my contentions ridiculous, irrelevant, convention- alized dogma. I consider him a true progressive, in the literal sense of the word. To return to Mr. Freedman, I should like to request that in the future his editorials be spe- cific and aboveboard; subtle insinuations are almost always ineffective, especially in a com- munity where it may reasonably be assumed that a certain amount of intelligence is centered. I didn't want to start an argument, but so long as the only ariswer I can get to my state- ments-which, I repeat, were made in good faith, and without attempting to cast aspersions on Mr. Freedman's political beliefs-is sarcasm, just so long will I stick to my guns. And no amount of half-baked irony will cause me to run up the white flag. I sincerely hope that this has clarified and es- tablished my political position-a position which I'll be glad to defend in open debate or anything else the progressives have to offer, after the spectre of final examinations has come and gone. So, for the time being, a merry J-Hop to all, and to 1alla Food-night. IiIeins Ic Mew Heywood Broun The working newspaper men who arouse my envy most are the fellows who begin their dis- patches with "En Route by Air to Timbuctoo." I couldn't even write a column while flying. Some little time ago I was in a big, substantial plane eight thousand feet above Columbus, Ohio. It is, in its own right, a friendly city, but viewed from that altitude it seemed all spikes and spires. It looked like a nasty place to land, and the only word which came into my mind was "Ouch!" But there at the other end of the cabin was Paul Gallico gaily thumpin away a little masterpiece upon his portable. "You can have the machine as soon as I get through," he called in a spirit of good comradeship. Another friend had just tossed me a marked copy of a magazine to call my attention to a piece entitled "Flying Is Still Dangerous." My friend did not seem to have any personal faith in the conclusions of the author. He just wanted to put me at ease. But even with all this help I declined Gallico's generous offer. Even though my contribution had been of little worth, I didn't want to have it wasted. My resolution was to wait until there was earth under my feet and a reliable copy boy standing by my side. That Old Devil Temperament None of this is reasonable. Neither tempera- ment nor timidity becomes a newspaperman. I have written from political conventions and been very little bothered by the fact that the keynote orator was viewing with alarm from over my left shoulder. The city room of a, newspaper is not quite as frenzied as motion picture stories would have it, but there is still too much noise for a columnist to hear a good paragraph drop. Once I did a dispatch from a lower room of the citadel of Verdun under a very mild bombardment. I have even filed from those seats beside the prize ring which are humorously supposed to be re- served for the working press. A running story is always tough because of the visiting and highly partisan fireman who has his left elbow on your typewriter. He keeps his right hand free in order to give advise to his favorite. "Downstairs! In the breadbasket!" he shouts as he encourages the challenger. And as he shouts he illustrates his meaning with pantomime, barely grazing the chin of the hard-working reporter' who is trying to think up a snappy lead. "In the breadbasket! He doesn't like it down there!" To which, on at least one occasion, the outraged author exclaimed, "Who the hell does?" and sneaked over a very good right hook on his own account. The Manly Art It is encouraging to read that at the last bout in the Garden the reporters themselves put on a battle royal. This has encouraged me in my yearning for retirement and a quiet spot in which to do the typing. I can no longer make the weight. At the battle between Dempsey and Gibbons in Shelby, Mont., the good-natured crowd pelted the working press with beer bottles. When Firpo knocked, or shoved, Dempsey out of the ring the classic chassis of the champion landed in the lap of Grantland Rice, but did not miss me by much. And so I am swearing off "en route," "ring- side" and play-by-play stories. When I write now I want to have my feet upon the ground and all the doors and windows shut.

In view of the fact that the town is so near to campus, it is comparatively easy for a Mich- igan student to go to Hell, if he can round up a car. The football team seems to have been going there for the last four years. Another humorous story has finally come true when the dean and 42 members of the Class of '35 recently carried the traditional ivy chain around Drake's campus and later found out they had been carrying poison ivy. 11 Then there was the kitten who went to see a professional tennis game because his old man was in the racquet. Chalk up another point for the women in their battle against "West Coaster '37." The only woman in the Forestry School plans to take a couple of Lit courses next semester so she can meet some Michigan co-eds.
