WASHINGTON.-A definite movement is afoot
to endeavor to placate opposition from employers
and various trade unions to the National Labor
Relations Board by bringing about a change in
the rules of the Board and avoiding any amend-
ments to the law itself.
This strategy is calculated to defeat any sub-
stantial remedies for the weaknesses in the pres-
ent law and to get the defenders of the statute
over the severe hump of criticism which has
been piling up in recent months.
The issue involved, however, is fundamental. If
Congress, having delegated excessively broad
powers to the Labor Board, is afraid to assume
'responsibility for its unwarranted delegation of
power and to write into the law the specific
changes needed, then the Labor Board becomes
the truly legislative body. And on no subject has
there been as much legislation written by a group
outside of the Congress itself than by the Labor
Board.
The legislation is in the form of regulations and
decisions, and constitutes a voluminous body of
rules of conduct, possibly the most far-reaching
ever attempted under a democratic form of
government. The most intimate relations of busi-
ness conduct, the opportunities for simple Inter-
course between management and worker, and
the free inter-play of communication in writing
or by conversation are now subject to the censor-
ship of a Government board of three persons
responsible to nobody except occasionally the
courts when some employer is willing to spend
the time and money needed to get a corrective
applied.
The Labor Board rulings and decisions will
compare favorably with any set of laws adopted
anywhere. There is a logic and consistency of
purpose, indeed a clarity of expression in them
which is unexcelled. This does not iean they
are good decisions or meritorious precedents but
that they represent the maximum power that
can be derived from a vaguely worded statute.
Instead of specifying practices which are illegal,
the Congress gives a three-man board the right
to decide what is an "unfair labor practice." This
is language so broad as to permit of the kind of
decisions handed down by the Board.
The aggrieved parties-the employers-have
been entrapped into believing that the Board is
at fault, that the Board is biased, and that a
mere change in the personnel will change the
administration of the law. This is like asking that
the Supreme Court Justices be changed in order
that decisions favorable to the Administration in
power may be obtained. If it were conceded that
the Board is biased, then a change in personnel
might mean only a different kind of bias, depend-
ing upon which groups could bring about the
change.

The Watchdog .
Of Liberty .
T HE SUPREME COURT'S decisions on
the Strecker and Hague cases
marked important victories for civil liberties:
Joseph Strecker could not be deported for past
membership in the Communist Party and Mayor
Vague of Jersey City was forced to admit of more
than Hague-made law. Yet these were just two
more cases to the American Civil Liberties Union,
justly termed "the watchdog of liberty."
Since its beginning in 1919, the Civil Liberties
Union has put to practice this philosophy:
"It is our task to preserve democracy by
oplposing any violations of the Bill of Rights
from any source whatsoever. It is in this
spirit that we defend the rights of those who
might, if they came to power, suppress civil
liberties. We certainly cannot abolish the
principles of the Bill of Rights, which re-
quires the defense of everybody's rights
without distinction, just because of the fear
'that thus some anti-democratic force will
trinmph. Such a fear implies a distrust of
democracy.'
Contrary to all Representative Dies has said,
the Union is not a "communist front." The Union
defends the constitutional rights of such organi-
sations as the German-American Bund and the
Ku Kix Klan. The reason why it aids liberal
groups so often is because political suppression is
first directed against the Left.
Few organizations can boast of such a diversi-
fied managing body which includes 17 Democrats,
16 Socialists, 4 Republicans, and 52 independents.
Among these appear the names of now Supreme
Court Justice Frankfurter, Heywood Broun, John
dos Passos, Profs. John Dewey and Harry Elmer
ianes, and Elmer Rice.
While the Union has done remarkable work,
ti9l liberties and democratic institutions can be
defended only by the concerted action of the
rank and file of people. But whether this bu-
wark can be erected at a time when the people
seem to be demanding the suppression of "dan-
gerous" groups, time alone can tell.

Flying Club
And Armaments . .
ECENT ACTIVITIES of the Univer-
R sity lying Club in sponsoring flying\
classes and competing in inter-school flying
grlets offer an interesting sidelight to the ques-
tion of armament in the world today.
Writers have long praised the German system
of sponsoring amateur flying clubs and associa-
tions following the war to preserve among Ger-
ian youth the ability to function well in combat
flyng, and now the cry for such a plan in this
country seems to be a fact.
Among the-events in the recent meet in which
the Flying Club tied for first with the Kenyon
College group was a test in "bomb dropping,"
Immediately suggestive of military activities.
Other events included spot landing and "paper
eutting," a test of maneuvering ability. All of
these events necessitating considerable training
and practice, are for no other purpose but inter-
collegiate competition, but hold nevertheless con-
siderable potentialities as training for war flying.
Further, a flying course being conducted by the

The versatility of the WPA Art Project is illus-
trated by the exhibit of prints, ceramics and
sculpture now open at 'the Rackham Building.
The vigor and decisiveness of this group of
artists, coupled with their technical excellence,
emphasize the importance of this movement in
American culture.
Outstanding, both in subject matter and in
execution, are the black and white prints, which
include lithographs, etchings, wood engravings
,and carborundum tints. The artists have taken
the American scene for their subject matter, and
treat it with directness and realism. Wood en-
graving as a medium, with its strength and
simplicity, is successfully used by several of the
artists. The detail in the gnarled hands of the
old woman in Mac Raboy's character sketch,
"Winter," infuses it with a remarkable depth of
feeling and sympathy. Isaac Sanger used the
same medium in his two contributions, "Lake
Winnipesaukee" and "Spuyten Duyvl Station."
Interesting from the standpoint of design is the
lithograph "Bay Bridge Series No. 694" by Otis
Oldfield.
Many of the pictures in this group, however,
tend toward "art school" subject matter and
are obviously derivative. Contemporary Ameri,
can art, to be truly significant, must reflect
American thought and social trends.
The two water colors by Francis Danovich
mark him as one of Michigan's most talented
young artists. "B'all Game," an amusing repre-
sentation of a Negro baseball game, shows a lusty
and decisive feeling for movement. The bodies of
the players and spectators are robust and full of
life. Colors are used freely, but with judgment,
to emphasize shape and form. "Street Scene" is
different in character but still retains the quality
of life and movement in its figures. It is an inter-
esting study in perspective, and the color values,
with red predominant, are well manipulated.
It is unfortunate that the number of water
colors on exhibit was so small. Equally unfor-
tunate was the absence of oil paintings. The im-
portance of these two mediums in contemporary
art is unquestioned, and therefore they should
be adequately represented in any exhibit.
One of the most widely known and important
functions of the WP Art Project is the mural
painting. The exhibit features a wide variety of
photographs and sketches of this type of work.
Edgar Yaeger dominates the group of muralists
with his decorative and conventional treatment.
He uses blue tones to get a very pictorial effect.
His figures lack strength and power, but they
area relaxed rather than lifeless. In his "Naval
Boats," painted in the Naval Armory in Detroit,
the well defined outlines and vast expanses of
light blue give a feeling of spaciousness.
An interesting feature of the exhibit is the
group of prints from the Index of American
Design. These are photographic representations
in color of figures taken from early American'
culture. Cigar store figures, marionettes, weather
vanes, dolls and quilts are skillfully drawn. This
project is analogous to the Guides being drawn up
by the WPA Writers' Project."
An unusual variety of ceramics are included
in this exhibit. Walt Speck, who has several of
his works now on show at the San Francisco
World's Fair, is represented by a number of
animal figures of clever and original design. The
"Goat" and "Horse," contributed by Grace Bergey
show an unusual feeling for form.
The sculpture exhibit is dominated by Samuel
Cashwan, whose technique is influenced by the
modern streamline tendencies. His figures are
for the most part female. There is grace and
smoothness of form in his "Spring" and "Peace."
The statue of "Lincoln," however, indicates an
inadaptability in the sculptor, for instead of
giving a feeling of power and greatness, it ap-
pears effeminate. "Pioneer Mother" likewise
shows an inability to give his figures strength,
The relief sculpture by Gustav Hildebrand
attempts to portray the American scene. He
uses an interesting round technique in his
figures and shifts, from elaborate detail in one
work to extreme simplicity in another.
From this exhibit we can get a general idea
of the importance of the Federal Art Project in
Michigan. Although there is in some of the artists
an apparent attempt to stifle their own in-
dividuality of expression in order to gain a "pic-
torial" effect, they have an obvious talent which

should be encouraged. The fact that they are
getting government aid in order to continue their
work shows the lack of support they are given
as independent artists, and proves the value of
this project to culture in America.

been held. This is necessary in or-
der that the office may be able to
complete its list of seniors for pre-
sentation to the Regents prior to
Commencement. The office also will
greatly appreciate it if the other re-
ports of students' grades are made
within five days after the examina-
tions are conducted.
It is further recommended that
grades of I and X be used more spar-
ingly than in the past. At present
about 8-10 per cent of prospective
graduates and about 600gnon-grad-
uates generally receive grades of I -
and X. This relatively large number
mkes it difficult for the Administra-
tive Board, the various counselors,
and the Registrar's Office to evaluate
the work of the students concerned.
The Registrar's Office has asked me
to express to the members of the
Faculty its appreciation for the
promptness with which grades have
been reported in the past, and it is
confident that this cooperation will
continue during the current exam-
ination period.

industry has its weather-eye peeled for talent and
all that sort of stuff.
And while the average fan may not spend too'
much of his waking time in thinking about litera-
ture and art, the same philosophy is popular. If
a fellow really knows how to write, why isn't he
selling stuff to the high-priced slicks, and if he
paints, why, naturally he ought to be doing
quick, adroit portraits of Lamont and Dorothy
Lamour.
Well, Fette and Turner, the two old boys of
baseball, proceeded to set the National League
hitters on their heels. There are painters and
writers on WPA projects who can sling ink or
paint in rings around the boys and girls who get
the big prices for continued stories.
I don't want to name names, but at least one
successful author of my acquaintance is well up
in the higher brackets, although she herself and
all her friends happen in lucid moments to
wonder just how she gets away with such tripe.
The answer is that it just happens at the moment
to be what the editors think the public wants.
To make a much simpler test I would ask any
unbiased observer to walk into a newspaper office
and inquire of the people who really get out the
paper, "I suppose all the high-priced feature
people, coluinists and so on, hold their jobs
because they really have some unusual gift?"
but don't ask that question unless you have
already picked your exit and are ready to run
for your life. Any competent reporter can tell
you that there are much better fish in the sea
than the widely publicized names (noting no ex-
ceptions whatsoever) who happen to be hooked
to by-lines.
And so I am irritated rather more than is my
custom when I read that old stuff in which it is
set forth that those who are unsuccessful in the
crafts or professions got that way because of lack
of ability or infrequent bathing. The percentage
against the player is greater in the arts than it
