LONG The editorials published in The Michigan )aly are written by members of the Dily taff and represent the views of the writers 6e New 4ictator Bill' T"HE Administration's Cochran-War- T,, ren reorganization measure, having ded the emasculatory attempts of desperate Oublicans and unsympathetic Democrats in House, this week faces the possibility of n greater assaults in the Senate. ust why the Senate should desire any fur- r changes in the bill is not clear. Designed recapture rebellious Democrats, it is only a dow of last year's proposal which provoked s of "dictator bill," and eventually was forced o recommittment. Successive deletions, addi- is and compromises have extracted whatever th it had, leaving in place of a forceful and bitious measure, a weak, almost apologetic, n for reorganization. et, it would seem that the trials of the Coch- -Warren bill at the hands of Congress have ly just begun. For to supplement and crystal- opposition against it, Sen. Harry F. Byrd n.-Va.) has offered a substitute bill already roned by the Senate's Select Committee to ,estigate Government Agencies. hif '7g from the Cochran-Warren bill essen- ly in its approach to the problem of adminis- :ve reorganization, the Byrd bill offers sol- to economy-minded, anti-Administration ators. The Administration proposal provides t an executive reorganization order will go Seffect unless disapproved within 60 days concurrent action of Congress. The Senate would replace this "negative" veto power Congress by "affirmative" action: ,a presi- tial reorganization order would have to be roved by both houses of Congress be'ore ig into effect. In an attempt to "reduce dras- sly government -expenditures," the Byrd pro- o1 would not give the President the power to trol the budgets of independent government ncies, and to create six executive assistants at ,ries of $10,000 a year. The House bill speci- ily includes these powers. ; is doubtful whether the great savings Sena- Byrd desires can come froiin mere structural 'ganization of Federal administrative agen- . According to a recent report of the Brook- e' Institute, the entire budget of these agencies hie past fiscal year was $1,827,318,000. "What- economies are realized here," the report tinues, "would, therefore, affect only 18 per t of the total expenditures. ." cannot be hoped, then, that any'reorganiza- . bill primarily aimed at the setting-up of an dient administrative organization can realize dtantial economie at the same time. What ild be sought instead, the Brookings' report cates, is a "fully-developed, permanent co- nating agency under the President." hichever bill is accepted, or whatever com- 6ises are effected, there promises to be a Lt deal of partisan fireworks, if the following rpts from the House session of last week are indication: ep.

These gentlemen seem to have two main tactics: (1) Quotation from fascist and semi- fascist .sources. (2) Distortion and evasion of the main issues. They quote one H. Howard Knoblaugh, an AP correspondent who was expelled from Spain. They quote one William Carney, who was long since exposed as, a Franco press agent. They quote Le Temps, French pro-fascist paper owned by the Comite Des Forges. So much for their sources. And what do these young scholars propose to prove with their quota- tions? That the government of Spain is in the hands of Moscow. Very adroitly they attempt to prove that Largo Caballero was an agent of the Russian Communists, neglecting to mention the fact that Caballero was denounced by the Communists years ago and has had no part in forming the policies of the Spanish Government since he left office early in the war. How clever these young men are! Notice that they do not come out openly in support of Franco. Would they dare? No, they confine themselves to slandering the Spanish government and, by implication, the Spanish people. I challenge these individuals, or their mentors, to answer adequately the following questions: (1) Let them deny that Mussolini's stooge in Spain has bombarded defenseless towns for two years. (2) Let them deny that the Spanish Govern- ment has never bombarded civilian populations. (3) Let them deny that Franco has bombed Red Cross Trucks deliberately, that he has bombed churches, libraries, museums, universi- ties. (4) Let them deny that Franco massacred thousands in a bull ring at Badajoz. (5) Letthem deny that the policies of Franco are and, have always been dictated by Hitler, Mussolini, and the British Government. (6) Let them deny that the Spanish Govern- ment has been ruled by orderly democratic pro- cess. (7) Let them deny that millions of Spaniards have fled and are fleeing into Loyalist territory to escape Mussolini's legions. Let them deny that no such millions have fled from Government Spain to Franco territory. (8) Let them deny that Franco wiped out the holy city of Guernica, that he machine-gunned the women and children on the open roads as they fled from the burning city. (9) Let them deny that Franco has system- atically attempted to terrorize the steadfast civil- ian population into submission through contin- uous bombing. (10) And let them deny, finally, that they are the local spokesmen for Franco, for Hitler, for Mussolini. -Harvey Swados ART By MYRON B. CHAPIN The Eliot O'Hara Water Colors The Ann Arbor Art Association fares forth this month with a triple offering of water colors, prints from the collection of Mrs. William A. Comstock, and a huidred or so fine examples of modern bookf art. This exhibit may be viewed each afternoon from two to five up to March 21, in the third floor galleries of the Rackham Building. Each room deserves a lengthy comment of its own, but I shall confine myself in this re-. view to the water colors only. , No one writes more authoritatively today about the technical complications of that tricky medium than does Eliot O'Hara. A Guggenheim scholar represented in the collections of eleven museums, and a technician of great skill himself, one can-' not help lending an attentive ear and eye to all he says and does. And he demonstrates so ably everything he says that the beholder is almost aghast at the virtuosity of the man. His handling of clouds in "The Corcovade Rio De Janiro" and an equally masterly treatment in "Clouds Over Popo" deserve an honored place in the archives of water color painting. The smashing drama of black and white can be no more ably depicted than in the stark pattern of trunks as vivid as lightning in "Dead Trees, Correntoso." "104 In The Shade, Acapulco" would cause the most frigid observer to reach for a fan, for all the stuff is there; the hot, murky shadows, the life- less palm, the glassy water with a few lazy ripples, is almost steaming in its portrayal of heat. The expanse of mountains and the magnitude of the sky in "From the Cram's Terrace, Taxcoe.': (Ralph Adams Cram) is not the result of a mere dexterity of hand alone. O'Hara knows how to, choose his subject matter, and from his vantage point he makes us feel the immensity of the space around him. "The Los Arcos, Taxco" is something that almost any student in architec- ture would give his right hand to emulate. The pillars are as real as pillars ever can be. But this reviewer was a little bewildered by not recog- nizing at once a place where he had spent no * little time. Perhaps he had never seen the shadows take just that particular pattern. It was an episode that he had missed. Then his glance fell on No.5rn nthe onnnosiwal rRa mn .rtthn JfeentoAle -leywood Broun MIAMI, Fla.--On many diners a slogan is served to the passenger along with the olives. He is asked to help "save the American railroads." I am glad to report that I am ready to step forward with a highly constructive sugges- tion. And it came to me on}1 a diner during the middle of the evening meal. Just a- cross the groaning board there sat a lady and her son, a manly lad of five. The oth- er occupant of the table was a friend of the family, perhaps, a traveling sales- man or just somebody like myself who was, stuck with a bad seat. Junior was fractious. His mother ascribed that to his tonsils, but I believe his disability was deeper. and to some extent she herself Was to blame. "Junior is going to drink his nice big glass of orange juice," she said and shoved the tepid draught in his direction. That, I think, is a wrong approach. After the manner of cod liver oil, orange juice should be forced down the throat of each tiny tot. It doesn't make any difference whether he likes it or not, and it is a pity that a parent should descend to the sheer hypocrisy of pretending that orange juice unadorned is a zippy beverage, They couldn't fool Junior. "I don't want no orange juice," said Junior in a querulous and unpleasant voice which suggest- ed adenoids as well as tonsils. And the little rascal reached out to hurl the contents of the glass at a passing waiter. Just in time his mother caught his wrist, but she failed to break it. "Junior," she announced with false oatumism, "is going to drink all of his lovely glass of milk." This time the cut shaver was too quick for'her and he spilled the entire contents of his lovely glass of milk right in my lap. The dining car steward said I took it like a gentleman. As I remember, I told the lady that it was an old suit anyway and that we were all young once. But right here the ideahit me of how to save the American railroads. First of all, half fare is too much for children. They should travel for one-quarter fare. And nobody should be allowed to take his child into a coach, sleeper, parlor car, or lounge. Each child should be checked at the beginning of the journey and claimed when th.e ride has ended. No new equipment would be nec- essary, as the modern baggage car should fit the requirements excellently. Possibly brakemen and conductors should re-, ceive some slight instruction as to the best mat ner in which to feed and water their small charges. And, of course, before the innovation can be introduced some popular campaign of educa- tion may be necessary. Here and there a parent will protest that it is harsh to put his little boy in the baggage car. There may even be a fear that there will be con- fusion in distributing the various offspring in the depot. That's nonsense. If properly tagged and stamped, there should be slight incidence of error. A SIGHT variation of the "Who- was-that-lady-I-saw-you-with" t gag arises to haunt not only the ir- reverent editors of the New Yorker magazine, whose "Talk of the Town" is still the sanest chronicle of thesec frivolous times, but also Continentalt gossipers. While we have succumbed4 to the spasmodic creeps over the an-c tics of the Nuremberg Neurotic, the New Yorker has been investigating a story going the rounds to the effectr that Hitler isn't Hitler at all, but four other guys named Oscar. Hitler, the real job, according to the legend, was killed in the 1934 purge, buried quietly and replaced by a vaudevillet comic dancer who had been in re- hearsal for more than a year, in an- ticipation of the role. The New Yorker disclosures ledt to further investigations which confirmed Hitler's liquidation, but which varied as to time and place.i One source claimed Hitler had been erased in the abortive Mun- ich beer-hall putsch of '23. An- other said he was wiped out in the World War, or had at least] disappeared. Still another de- clared that not one man but four were impersonating him, four im- posters alternating at the "Heads- I-win, tails-you-lose" pastime with the umb'ella man. The Inside Story To top off the fantastic story, it has been hinted now that the current "Hitler" will tell all in a forthcom- ing book. The whole things reminds us of the story involving the defense- less prize fighter who had for several rounds withstood a brutal beating at the hands of his opponent, only to stagger to his corner and hear his cajoling second, whisper, "You're do- ing fine, Butch. He hasn't laid a glove on you." Butch listened tolerantly for a few rounds, and then just before he be- came completely fogbound, he turned on his second as that worthy re- peated, "he hasn't laid a glove on you..." "In that case," said Butch, "keep an eye on the referee, 'cause some- body's beating hell out of me." Feminine Winchell MICHIGAN Daily readers who have long yearned for the Winchell- esque slant on campus affairs may look to the future with new optimism. For at a meeting of freshman tryouts the other day, during which the tech- nic of proof-reading was illustrated and Daily style explained, a feminine tryout collared the senior in charge, and inquired: "Isn't there some way I can get out of all this? I. only cone out for the Daily so I could write a gossip column." The senior's answer was lost in his studied reverence of the pert young thing, and when last seen he was busy confirming her telephone number. Raising Ghandi's Arm Raikot, India, March 7.

The suit is a proceeding in equity on behalf of a popular radio crooner to enjoin a radio broadcasting com- pany from' broadcasting phonograph records of his vocal selections. The recordings were made under a royal- ty agreement with the record manu- facturer with the understanding that they were not to be used for broad- casting purposes, and each disc bore a stamp stating that it was "not li- censed for broadcasting." The play- ing of the records has diminished the radio audiences and also cut down l the royalties from sales of recordings.
