VERY FEW Americans would volun- tarily subscribe to the appelation, "fascist." The word has gained so general a dis- repute through constant repetition as a name- calling device in propaganda that for the aver- age persons it has a repellent effect, simply as a word. "Fascist" connotes dictatorship and abroga- tion of freedom when it appears in the American press; linked with it in the mass mentality is its companion stereotype, Communism; they are both-"bad," while democracy is "good." Fascism, moreover, has gained at least among a large proportion of the population a more concrete opprobrium as an epithet; it conjures up slaught- er of innocents, race persecution, concentration camps, glorification of brutality, etc.; in other words, it has an actual meaning in addition to the automatic response pattern it sets up As a matter of fact, fascism is built upon a number of more basic and universal stereotypes. Fascism is not a word, and it can, in fact, get along very well without ever using the name "fascism." It is extremely doubtful that an American fascist movement can come into power under either the name "Fascist" or "Nazi" or any of the current variations of the term: Silver Shirts, for example. Ignazio Silone suggests the slogan "anti-Fascism" for an American fascist movement; at any rate, it will probably masquer- ade as "Constitutional," "American," "Liberty" or some such virtue-stereotype. The point is that though few people in this country will admit it, many of them are potential fascists. All that is required to make them out- right fascists is an organization. If you think you aren't a fascist, ask yourself if you agree with the following statements. A majority of affirmative responses makes you a likely candi- date for a colored shirt: 1. Labor unions are OK. but we shouldn't have any strikes. 2. People on relief are getting enough to live on fairly well. 3. The workers in the WPA are mostly lazy and incbmpetent 4. The unemployed and the CCC boys ought to be given military training-it would be good for them and good for the country. 5 Most labor trouble is caused by agitators using the workers for their own purposes. 6. Any able-bodied man who isn't afraid to work could go out and get a job right now. 7. Alien radicals should be deported and the Communist Party ought to be kept off the ballot. 8. Strike violence is mainly the fault of the strikers. 9. Lynching is bad, but Negroes have to be kept in their place some way. 10. Persecution , is undemocratic, but it's dangerous to have too many Jews in public office and other important positions. This is the actual stuff of which fascism is made. You may not agree with a single one of the statements yourself, but run through the list of your friends and acquaintances, and see how many of them are fascists without a label. -Joseph Gies The New Jersey Exile In Re Better Medical Care ... H NATHAN SINAI, in his address this week sponsored by the Exten- sion Service course on the cooperative movement, gave a timely warning that should be heeded by the voluntary medical service organizations which have sprung up to meet the problem of medical care for the masses. He pointed out that these organizations are no panacea in them- selves, that they must realize their own tem- porary nature and be prepared to give way to more comprehensive systems. The numerous pioneer groups of today, Dr. Sinai said, lack administrative unity. They pro- vide health service "a la carte"-one group for hospital insurance, another for dental service and still others for different types of medical treatment. Consequently, only the few who take advantage of all the plans are fully protected. If these organizations persist in believing that their decentralized agencies will successfully solve America's medical problem, progress toward a more adequate system will be delayed months, if not years. Dr. Sinai suggests that, if these voluntary health groups are to be steppingstones of pro- gress, they should work out the details of admin- istration upon which a more comprehensive system can function. Development of the best machinery for carrying out such a system will be a problem of trial and error, and the groups should hold frequent conferences to relay to each other the improvements individual groups have made. One proposal which can make a coordinated system out of uncentralized health units, Dr. Sinai believes, is now being considered by Con- gress. This is the Wagner Bill, which would pro- vide 89 million dollars for a national health pro- grain, Under this proposal, Federal Government funds would be allotted to the states in the form of grants-in-aid. Since only those states having health insurance systems would receive these grants, the measure would accelerate the change toward a more even distribution of medical care. Americans have accepted the idea of group medicine; a plan for a national health organiza- tion has been developed. Bridging the gap be- tween theory and practice, by working out, through experimentation, the technical admin- istrative details, is the responsibility of the pioneer organizations of today. -Tlervie Haufler Roth String Qurtet Mozart .... Quartet in A major (K464) Debussy .... Quartet in G minor, Op. 10 Beethoven .. Quartet in F major, Op. 135 Once a year it is at the most that Ann Arbor has the chance of hearing music for and by a string quartet; music depending for its succs' less than any other upon showmanship, theatri- cal color, and other extra-musical crutches for impotent composition; music stressing arabes- ques in sound, the interplay of tonal lines, and the more subtle aspects of musical emotion; music that, because it appeals so wholly and directly to the tonal sense alone, is the most sensuous of all types of musical expression. Therefore it was good, last night in Hill Auditorium, to hear again the Roth Quartet, playing a well-chosen program. The members of this group, one senses immediately, are cap- able instrumentalists, sincerely devoted to their type of performance and to the music which they play. Individually and as a group they have at other times played more brilliantly and evenly than they did last night; few concerts indeed, show greater variance in degrees of perfection achieved than did their performance 4 few times they reached transcendant heights of musical rapture. And occasionally they played most unsatisfactorily, interpretatively as well as technically Consistently lacking was a strong rhythmic impulse to animate the more lively movements, to counteract a tendency towards vagueness and to give necessary variety. The Beethoven Quartet, the Scherzo especially, could have stood a much more forceful, masculine approach. It was in the slow movements of each of the three widely different works on 'the program, and in the Tchaikowsky Andante Cantabile en- core, that the fine lyrical sense of the Quartet carried it to heights of great loveliness. The tuneful variations of Mozart; the rhapsodic in- cantations of Debussy; the great mystic, yearning song of Beethoven, so full of nobility and sad- ness; the paintive air of Tchaikowsky-each had its fitting and well-achieved expression. The Beethoven Lento, last-composed of all the Mas- ter's epochal slow movements, was easily the most memorable re-creation of the evening, moving one with profundity that seems still of the future rather than of the past. -William J. Lichtenwanger cracked him down was the appointment of Hague's son, by the Democratic Governor, as a lay Judge of the Court of Errors and Appeals, and the confirmation of the appointment by the Republican-dominated Senate. The court is the highest in the State, for which the appointee is unfitted by reason, it is charge, of a dubious professional education, virtually no experience or practice. The voluntary exile, Samuel W. Rushmore, hopes to find a remote sanctuary where the political streptococci of New Jersey hum not, nor sting. Elms that arched his driveway, poplars whis- permg in the sunlight, silent beneath the stars, are falling under the executioner's ax. Gardens, ifeern ito Me leywood Broun His face was familiar, and yet in some strange way the fellow's aspect had vastly changed since last I knew him on a newspaper. "You can't be Bill Drig- gings?" I asked. He replied gloomily that he could and was. }"My, my," I exclaimed, "I've got a toothache myself, but what's wrong with you?" "It's a long story. Do you mind?" said Bill. "Not in the least," I as- sured him. "We can't get a drink until the train gets out of the District of Columbia." "A toothache!" he said, and laughed mirth- lessly. "You're lucky. Even in your case some dentist can kill the nerve, but for my complaint there is no remedy known to science. And you do well to shudder and draw away, for it is an ail- ment which is catching. Indeed, I don't mind say- ing that it is epidemic in America today. In fact, I might even assert that I am a symbol of what is wrong with American literature." * * * In Strictest Confidence Mr. Driggings loked around to see if any editor was lurking behind him, and then he con- fided, "I've got slick-paper phobia." He was annoyed at my puzzled look. "Don't tr to play innocent with me," he complained. "You've got it and there are not more than five former reporters alive today who have escaped its ravages. I guess you had been fired before I left the old, old paper. The boys got me drunk and gave me a gold watch, and we all sang, 'He's a jolly good fellow.' You see, the notion obtained that I was on my way up. The editor of a large monthly magazine had recognized my native worth and chosen me as a staff writer. He told me that it would be just the same thing I had been doing for years. One little word after another. They gave me a big office, a new type- writer and a large blond secretary. 'Now,' said the editor of the magazine, 'sit down and write-' "The first symptom of slick-paper phobia is a curious numbness. It begins in the knuckles and travels very rapidly to the brain. Then you hear voices. The most persistent one keeps whis- pering, 'This has got to be good- You're writing for a magazine.' And then another one chimes in with the reminder, 'We have more than two million circulation, and don't you forget you will be illustrated.' *' *, * And Also Metaphors "Sometimes the rash doesn't come until the second or third day. You break out all over with adverbs and adjectives. It is impossible to set down anything simple, such as, 'He leaves a wife and two children and was a member of the Elks for twenty years.' Instead you begin to lug in, 'sorrowful cypress trees,' 'the moaning March wind' and 'sullen skies.' In other words, some vile sorcerer has transformed you into a ham editor, of the late Bulwer-Lytton." "You could express that more simply," I said. "You mean you st-" "Shush!" he exclaimed in horror. "That's not a word which you can use in a slick-paper maga- zine." "And is there no hope?" I inquired anxiously. "There's just one chance," said Mr. Driggings, "and I mean to grasp it. I'm going to Palm Beach, and every night I shall force my way into some swanky party and then hurry home. Ar- rived at my hotel room, I shall rush to the type- writer and set down, without fanfare or flourish, 'Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Fatio, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Bayard Swope, Baron Herbert von Strempel and W. Wood Plank- ington. "At my side will be a loaded revolver, and if a single adjective slips into my copy a resounding roar will ring out above the soft sibilance of the gentle Caribbean breeze, and in a grotesque heap there will fall the inert and lifeless form of poor, frustrated William Driggins." I guess Bill's a goner. The FLYING TRAPEZE By Roy Heath - Ah, The Tigers ... I notice by the Detroit papers that the Tigers are going to play baseball again this year. It is hard to notice anything else in the sports sections of those upstanding newsorgans- Edi- tion after edition, through Blue Line, Red Line and the various streaks, the stirring symphony of spring training is played out on the high pipes of Dynamic Detroit's dynamic press. Titanic struggles are taking place in the swamps of Florida to determine which one of a seemingly astronomi- cal number of fully qualified worthies will thrill millions of peanut munch- ing fans with feats of daring this summer. There are certain cynical citizens who intimate that they don't see what difference it makes but their opinions are not held in high esteem. They are mostly acidosis sufferers anyway. It seems to me that Bud Benjamin is displaying a stripe of near criminal indifference in allowing the trials and tribulations of Detroit's favorite ball club to go on practically unrecog- nized by the sports page of the Michi- gan Daily over which he presides. In fact, if Benjamin is going to be pigheaded in this matter, and it looks like he is going to be, I herewith offer news from my own correspondent at Lakeland where he covers the cavort- ings of the Tigers, disguised as third base. TIGER TRIMMINGS By Smallwood Fungo Lakeland, Fla-, March 9.-(Special To The Trapeze)-The Tiger out- field was reinforced today by the ac- quisition of Herman "Feets" Flytrap, who looks like a baboon and hails from South Saugatuck, Ky. Manager Del Baker anticipates trouble with "Feets" in the very near future due to his nervous habit of biting a chunk out of his cap every time he misses a high one which is every time one comes at him. Trainer Denny Carroll attributed this rare inability to snag the ball to the fact that Flytrap is busy tucking in his shirt tail most of the time. He predicts great things for the boy. Superstition is the spice of life in the Tiger camp. Rated the most unus-i ual good luck charm exhibited in camp so far, is a beautiful sheer silk stocking containing the leg of a nifty blond, attached to a nifty blond. The charm belongs to the blond and the good luck belongs to Dopey Frisbee who says he picked the nick-nack up on a beach at Miami during, the off season- FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1939 VOL. XLIX.

Like all services at the Center this is free to those who care to avail themselves of it N The Beau Brummell of the Tiger crew is Happy Hinchmeyer who wears a derby hat with a feather in it, al cutaway coat, high button shoes and a snappy pair of mauve shorts. He carries an umbrella to fend off irate dogs. The catching problem is occupying what time Del Baker can spare away from the photographers..He has ten catchers and the problem is to ar- range them around the plate in a manner which will do away with con- fusion and crowding. He has toyed with the idea of send- ing nine of them on a snipe hunt dur- ing practice but that doesn't leave him anyone to catch the wild throws which his hurlers deliver with such disconcerting regularity. Baker is so worried that he only averages 18 hours sleep per day. The question mark arm of Line- wood Roe became an exclamation point yesterday when it dropped off. Roe has been predicting just such an occurence as this for several years, so it didn't come exactly as a sur- prise. Roe will be retained on the payroll to heckle, confuse, villify and generally make life miserable for the umpire during the coming season. Butcherboy Dribbling has been bat- ting at a mid-season clip for the past week. Out of ten trips to the plate in practice games he has hit four foul balls, walked once, struck out nine times and brained one catcher with the bat. This betters his record for his best week last season by one catcher. I A RT By HELEN B. HALL Modern Book Exhibit The exhibit of Modern Book Art now being held in, the Rackham Building contains many , choice examples of both fine printing and book illustration and consists of not only very recent examples from the leading presses of many countries, but also a number of beautiful volumes dating from the '1890's and the early years of this century, that is, from the early period of the revival of printing. These early works are in the large case at the right of the entrance to the gal- lery. The movement started in England, at presses like the small one Daniel set up at Oxford; Daniel was instrumental in turning the tide towards modern ideas in printing, by his discov- ery and re-use of the old Fell types. Two books from his press are volumes of verse by Robert Bridges and by Laurence Binyon- One of the most famous of the modern presses is the Kelm- scott Press, which William Morris founded and ran. Six examples from this press are shown in the exhibit, one of which is a very recent acqui- sition of the Library of the University of Michi- gan, a beautiful work entitled Laudes Beatae Mariae Virginis. A book from the Chiswick and where we see a definite branch- ing away from the early Kelmscott books; and three handsome books, two of which have fine colored ini- tials, printed at the Doves Press, which followed a single formula and showed little deviation in style. Early examples in America of this revival period were printed by De Vinne and by Frederick W. Goudy.J The former is represented by a fine1 edition of the Philobiblon and Goudy by Rossetti's Blessed Damozel, and the Gypsy Trail of Kipling. Bruce Rogers is one of the best of the, American printers and designers, and an early example of his work is a volume of the Essays of Montaigne. Aside from this case containing the earlier books on exhibit, no attempt' at chronological display has been made. Rather, books have been grouped by presses, by authors, or 2. Piano Recital. Miss Grace Wilson of the Univer- sity School of Music will present a piano recital at the Center next Sun- day evening, March 12, at 7 o'clock immediately. following the regular supper hour. 3. Free Movie. The film to be shown in the series at the Center next Monday evening, March 13, at 7 o'clock will be on "The 'Yosemite Valley." Mrs. John L. Brumm has also consented to pre- sent her beautiful pictures of Cali- fornia in technicolor. Lzw School Case Club Trials: The Case Club courts will hear the argu- ments of counsel in the Freshman Case Club Final Competition on Tuesday, March 14, at 4 p.m. The same case will be argued in each of the four courts before a three-judge bench consisting of a faculty mem- ber, the regular student judge in charge of the respective court, and a senior or graduate student as visit- ing judge. These hearings are open to the public and should be of par- ticular interest to pre-legal students. The cases will all be heard in Hut- chins Hall in the following rooms: Marshall Club (Judge Clifford Christenson) Room 218. Story Club (Judge Bruce M. Smith) - Room 220. Kent Club (Judge Ralph E. Help- er) Room 120. Cooley Club (Judge Thomas Mun- son) Room 116. The suit is a proceeding in equity on behalf of a popular radio crooner Ito enjoin a radio broadcasting con- l t and illustrated by him, and which-is an autobiography of his childhood. Another Grabhorn-Valenti Angelo combination is the Relacion of Cabeca de Vaca; a book from the Grabhorn Press, with type designed by F. W. Goudy, is the Spanish Occupation of California. And a book designed and illuminated by Valenti Angelo is the Sermon on the Mount printed by the Hawthorne House Press, another fine printing concern. Other examples of the excellent work designed by Bruce Rogers are seen in an edition of Geofroy Tory; one of a many volume set of the Boswell Papers, printed by William Edwin Rudge; a Champ Fleury done by this same combination; and a Champ Rose, charmingly done in red, I
