THE WIDELY PUBLICIZED pas- toral letter of the Spanish Bishops of a few weeks ago, denouncing the Republican Government and justifying the rebellion against it, now appears to have been inspired by Gen. Franco in a more direct manner than was at first believed. A letter received and subsequently published by the Catholic Basque newspaper, Euzko Deya, from I. Cardinal Goma, Primate of the Spanish Catholic Church, indicates that the circular was sent out at the request of the gen- eralissimo as part of his campaign on the prop- aganda front. In the letter Cardinal Goma tells of "an indi- cation I had received from the Head of the State," (the title by which Franco allows him- self to be known in Rebel territory) and urges the necessity of the general's signing it in order to help "suppress and counteract adverse opin- ion and propaganda which have contributed to form abroad an atmosphere completely opposed to the movement even in a great section of the Catholic press, and which has found an echo in the political and diplomatic circles di-- recting the international situation." Further on the Cardinal makes the statement that "an opinion contrary to the nationalist movement is prevalent even among Catholics, especially in England, France and Belgium, and that even in circles highly favorable to us there is a belief that the war must be brought to an end through an accord between the belligerent parties." One can imagine the indignation with which so sub- versive a suggestion as the last mentioned would be greeted by the Head of the State. The fact that Catholic sentiment in many places is crystallizing against the Franco re- gime, as the Cardinal points out, and that many intelligent Catholics now realize that the cause of the Church is not that of fascism, may be taken as a heartening sign. In the meantime the efforts of highly placed Spanish clergymen on Franco's behalf will suffer from the growing suspicion that church property as well as church ideology plays a part in their considerations. The Clawless Tiger . THERE'S A SMELL of rotten flesh these days in Gotham as the ema- ciated Tamnmany tiger succumbs slowly to the La Guardia cancer. Tammany, hall of fame for yesteryear's race of super politicians-William Marcy (Boss) Tweed, Charles F. Murphy, John Kelly and Dick Croker-rocks precariously on its foundations. Its tycoons of today are puny men, ward heelers, nothing more, who ken not the changing of the old order. Quivering pygmies with hardly one idea among thom, yet divided they stand like a group of warring Indians whose signs got crossed. Completely incapable of comprehend- ing the trend of affairs that sent their star into sudden eclipse, they flounder hopelessly, knee keep in archaic political tradition. through in the old Tiger hunting grounds he was unable to cope with the unfailing support accorded his two competitors in the remaining four boroughs. The two competitors, now that the ground has been cleared of unnecessary obstructions, appear to be on the threshold of a real old fashioned political debacle. Candidate Jeremiah T. Mahoney, Democrat of the old school, ha;, alleged himself the people's choice on several counts. As president of the A.A.U. in 1935 he fought valiantly for non-participation in the Nazi Olympics, thus bidding for the Jewish vote which he sought further in the initial stages of his campaign by addressing a Jewish audience in Yiddish! A law partner of Senator Wagner this scion of the Mahoney family has been known to voice phrases of liberalism on several occa- sions, never very forcefully to be sure, but still there's a possibility that a liberal strain lurks somewhere in his craggy frame, planted there perhaps by his lawyer-senator partner, and good for some liberal votes in November. Mahoney, it must be allowed, is the better type of New York vote snatcher, but compared to his more illustrious competitor he's a political pygmy. Fiorello H. La Guardia has secured for himself a singular place in the line of New York's mayors as the most talented incumbent ever to grace that office. An immigrant child from the East Side melting pot of half Jewish and half Italian extraction, La Guardia fought, scratched and bit his way with no holds barred into the big-time political arena. Political affiliations were of small moment as he allied himself in turn with the Republicans, LaFollette Socialists, Republicans again, Fusionists and Labor. No machine politics put Fiorello into office. His has been a personal victory, a tribute to the indi- vidual, which has been more than justified. To him there stands as a monument his social program, his parks, playgrounds, housing, and bridge construction, the new life he has infused into a lethargic hierarchy of municipal depart- ments and lastly there will stand forever the lethal blow he struck the Tiger. Yes, the November mayoralty race looks like La Guardia by quite a few noses.

Time was when their's were the tribulations of the world. There were tales told of the Engineering Arch where sophs and seniors used to sit, waiting to roast the potted ones. Heads down, they would sit, talking among themselves, or counting the cracks in the sidewalk, lest some sauntering frosh suspect he was even the casual object of an up- perclassman's thought. When the ungainly gait -freshmen were always ungainly in those days -stamped a passerby as a freshmen and the grey pot verified it, a command would snap out. "Off, frosh! Off with it!" And the cap would come off before the freshman passed bowing onward. Freshman after freshman removed pot after pot, and so sweet brotherhood and honest affec- tion was nourished in the bosoms of the new- comers. But now though pots went out when '38 handsomely strode upon the campus, the freshmen themselves have assumed them. We always thought it was sort of a humiliation, but not the frosh. They got tradition. And no one seems to care. It certainly is a far cry from the day some wit engaged in rhinie baiting under the Arch moaned that freshmen women should also have some distinguishing bit of apparel. Then he went back to his recreation. "Off, frosh! Off with it!" And then there were the freshman games during homecoming. That wasn't so long ago that Joe Hinshaw, who may or may not be around here at this moment, was dancing around a street light with his crew of sophs, on Thomp- son Street. The circle was wide and dark, the yellow light of the street lamp fell rather weakly on all but the inner group who reached at a shiv- ering freshman with his back to the pole, ripped his shirt off, danced some more, reached for the freshman and deftly removed his pants. Then the freshman broke through the line dashing up Thompson, on to Cheever Court, with the sophs shouting "Down with thirty-eight!" and after him. Yes, my merry green crew, those were the days and we haven't found those pants since. Would the Dekes look around the house please? There's a sentimental attachment, we graduated from high school in those. * * * * PANORAMA is great stuff. Last week there were several ace cameramen snapping at gullibles going through the Arcade. When the gullibles wanted to know where they could get the pictures, they were told that the pictures were for Panorama and that for a buck they could see themselves in action in every edition during the year. The bucks rolled in. It's a swell pub- licity stunt but there are going to be a lot of gullibles snapping back at cameramen when that next issue appears because there wasn't any film in the cameras. An Infant's Lament to His Fond Parent I think that I shall never see A drink as nice as milk can be. A drink that doth in drinking spare The drunk his morning-after care.

Fats and ash and H2O, Lots of things to make me grow- By Heywood Broun Hugo Lafayette Black has one conspicuous weakness. At the moment I am not referring to the charge that he is or has been a member of the Ku Klux Klan. !'What I have in mind is his singular ineptitude in regard to publicity, or personal relations if you like. If he has an adequate answer to tle allegation hurled against him he should have made it long ago. And if his reply is less than sufficient it will not grow in effectiveness through the long delay. "Lafay- ette, we are here," is a far more inspiring slogan than, "Mr. Justice Black is not at home to the newspaper men." I think myself that the Senatorial record of the gentleman from Alabama gives every indi- cation that he would make an excellent Justice of the Supreme Court, no matter what his earlier record may have been. And yet, obviously, a political blunder has been made. Many grossly unfair and inaccurate things are being said by conservatives and reactionary forces which are eager to seize upon an ad- vantage. Can't Expect Much Fairness In politics, as in pugilism under the rules of the New York Boxing Commission, you cannot win on a foul, and blows below the belt are just your hard luck. It is a little too much to expect that Republicans and other opponents of the New Deal are going to be scrupulous in fair play when they see a good issue opening up before them. I must admit that I believe the other side in sim- ilar circumstances would be foolish not to do the same. But a few observations might as well be made for the sake of the record, which may become more apparent after the tumult slackens. In the first place, there is no possible connection be- tween the President's proposal to add additional justices to the High Bench and the appointment of Hugo Black. The name was sent up in the usual fashion. It came as a good deal of sur- prise, although the Senator's name was on the list of some of the forecasters as a possible long shot. Didn't Even Vote It was said by several commentators that a unanimous Senate had agreed that Joe Robinson was entitled to the nomination, and that the "club" would not even tolerate the mention of any other name. If Robinson had lived and the President had chosen him he probably would have been confirmed with a whoop and a tiger and not a soul would have risen to say "Nay." That would have been Senatorial courtesy. The fact remains that President Roosevelt has had a bad break in the luck. But it is mon- strously unfair to throw the whole burden of the blame on him. The Senate ought to be in a position to size up the qualifications of its own members. And it is interesting to note that Burton K. Wheeler, who is now one of the loud- est squawkers about the appointment of Hugo Black, did not vote against the confirmation. It is true he didn't vote for it. He wasn't suffi- ciently interested to vote at all. On TheLevel By WRAG With the first football game coming along Saturday, everyone seems to be worried about the Michigan team this year. * * * * That is, everybody except Minnesota. The only thing that the Minnesota team will have to worry about this year is scholarship. * * * * For the fourth straight year, Michigan is an unknown quantity. Nothing is certain but the fact that Michigan quarterbacks will signal for a line plunge with seven yards to go on third down. The old Michigan "punt, pass, and pray" system also seems to be doomed. Michigan not only lacks dependable punters and pass- ers; but, from the church attendance on campus, she hasn't enough prayers to carry the system through. * * * * , But the stands will no longer be able to call the referees blind when they make a bum de- cision. A new ruling this year requires each official to pass a complete physical examination, including an eye and ear test. * * * We wish this had been in effect last year when Michigan's touchdown lateral against Illinois was ruled a forward and the score was not allowed. Some on campus can remember back when Michigan State was on the schedule merely for a warm-up game. * * * * Now M.S.C. is kept on the schedule to make the Michigan team fight harder to win a game from some team they meet later. * * * * It's gotten so bad that a fellow walked into a barber shop the other day with a thousand dollars to bet on State. All he got was a haircut and a shave. *' * * * However, experts give Michigan an even chance to keep State rooters from pulling down THE SEASON has been late start- THURSDAY, SEPT. 80, 1937 ing in the New York theatre and VOL.

FEDERAL THEATRE TO BE ACTIVE rTHE DETROIT Federal Theatre is planning to play one week in each month at a downtown theatre. Between these engagements they will have a policy of "bringing plays to the people." They will produce plays from their repertory at high schools and other institutions.

Plays in rehearsal now are Albert Bein's Let Freedom Ring, Eugene O'Neill's Anna Christie, Chalk Dust, and They Too Arise, the prize win- ning play by Arthur Miller, '38. ART CINEMA PLANS SEASON A SECOND SERIES from the Film Library of the Museum of Mod- ern Art will be shown at the Mendel- ssohn on five Sunday evenings from October 17th to February 20th. These are pictures assembled from the col- lection of pictures of historical in- terest being collected by the Film Library. Those who saw the first series will assure you that they are interesting and amusing. Commer- cial exploitation of the pictures is not permitted so only members of non-profit organizations can see the series. You can join the Art Cinema League (and get a season ticket to the five programs) for a dollar. On October 8th and 9th, they will= have a showing at the Mendelssohn of Carnival In Flanders (it's French title is La Kermesse Heroique).
