New Physiognomy Demanded - THE RECENT MOVE of the English Air Raid Precautions authorities to equip all civilians with gas masks has had some rather startling and unexpected results. First, it seems that bearded Englishmen will soon be a thing of the past,'since hoary growths have proved very cumbersome in attaching the gas mask. For the new masks give the enmeshed chins just about an inch and a half in which to move about freely, which practically means a merciless razor to any home-loving beard. This is because the snout of the civilian respir- ator is a three-inch-deep container through which gas is filtered. After that there remains only one and one half inches between the point of the chin and the top of the container. All of which should make arborescence for the male very difficult. Then there is the matter of the female coif- feur. Loud and vehement protest has been voiced by Jenny Atkins who no longer can wear her hair in a bun or in the new Edwardian fashion, with curls piled high on the head. And so the special "Gas Mask Wave" should soon be very popular. Newspapers will probably run such ads as: If its peace we want today, Then we must all lend a hand; Fix our hair the "gas mask way" And be a pride to all the land. Eyelashes, too, will have to be restrained a bit, lest they interfere with the new head coverings. Wearing horn-rimmed 'spectacles will be vir- tual suicide and a mustahe just about treason. After that, British geneticists will probably devise a new scheme whereby special "gas-mask- shaped" heads may be propagated to insure long life for posterity. -Norman Schorr TlFesn AF W t Unity?* * T HE PRESENT convention of the American Federation of Labor has achieved a new high point inreactionary conduct by the leaders of that organization. The climax was reached Wednesday when the resolutions committee, dominated by Matthew Woll, long notorious for his die-hard attitude toward the C.I.o,, returned a report attacking the New Deal and terming governm ent activities in the sphere of labor "socialism." Previous reports call- ing for the revision of the Wagner Act and the wage-hour law had been approved during the week, but this frontal attack on the Roosevelt Administration was too much for the convention to swallow, and the report was rejected. The A.F.L. remains on record, however, as condemning the National Labor Relations Board as a tool of the CI.O., although the survey of the Board's record by Fortune Magazine which appeared almost coincidentally with the A.F.L. attack made the Federation look a little silly. Fortune. which certainly has no reason to lend -- r..ii it- . inml11(Ys. demnstatedta worn-out excuse that the divided labor move- merit could never be rewelded until his personal nemesis, John L. Lewis, was removed from the picture. Lewis promptly called Green's bluff by offering to resign if Green would do the same, whereupon the A.F.L. chief backed down, claim- ing Lewis was insincere in his offer, was making a play to the gallery, would continue to direct the C.I.O. from behind the scenes, etc. Anyway Green wasn't going to resign even if Lewis did. Last year when Lewis offered, from the C.I.O. convention at Atlantic City, to march the C.I.O. into the A.F.L. "horse, foot and dragoon," Green hedged, demanding that the C.I.O. unions come back to the Federation a few at a time, giving the senior organization time t digest them. What Green is obviously afraid of is that if the two great labor bodies settled their differ- ences and united, his day and the day of his clique as a dominant factor in American labor would be over. The A.F.L. today numbers 5,000,000 members, according to its own figures, exceeding by a considerable margin the strength of the C.I.0. In spite of this numerical superiority, Green is justified in regarding with decided qualms a convention embracing both labor factions, for there is undoubtedly a strong ele- ment within the A.F.L. which would be likely to back a move for more progressive leadership. The interests of Green and his lieutenants are not all that are keeping the A.F.L. and C.I.O. apart. The question of craft versus industrial unionism undoubtedly divides the rank and file; yet this problem, technically difficult though it may be, is by no means insoluble. Neither Green nor Lewis pretends for an instant that it is. The real trouble lies in the personality of the leader- ship, and as Green himself has said, it is likely that unity will be impossible until the leader- ship itself is changed. But in hunting candidates for the job of resigning offices to help the cause of labor, Green can look nearer home. -Joseph Gies Youth, And The Vassar Pact INCE THE UNITED Peace Committee 3J has decided to consider the Vassar Peace Pact as a possible working program, thus, bringing the pact to attention on campus, it might be a good idea for us all to have a look into it. Especially notable, and perhaps most impor- tant, is the first Article: "We swear to develop a spirit of fraternity and collaboration between the youth of all nations, to help unite the youth of our own nations and to work for unity with young people of all other countries without distinction of race, creed or opinion." Today's youth is tomorrow's voter in peace time, gun fodder in war time. The adolescent minds of today will be the ruling minds of to- morrow. If today's youth will accept toleration of race, creed and opinion as the best policy, the same will be the world's policy tomorrow. This can only be brought about through organ- ization. At the World Youth Conference at Vassar, representatives of the youth of 53 nations met in an attempt for world youth organization, with the Peace Pact as one of the more important material results of the meeting. It is to be hoped that the young men and women who drew up this pact will not, in future years, change their minds as to the value of the pledges they made at Vassar. It is to be hoped that, through discussion of the Pact throughout the world, as the United States Peace Committee intends to do, the principle of tolerance will be spread beyond the World Youth Conference. -Harry M. Kelsey The Editor Gets Told Medical Neglect To the Editor: Health Service! Health did I say? Morgue. I mean. Service did I say?-Health Service where you can get medical neglect free! A student suddenly stricken Sunday with acute pain in his back, was delivered at Health Service on a stretcher. SUNDAY-An exact examination of his tempera- ture revealed fever; decided to raise feet. H-eywood -Broun It is a little startling to read that the freshman class at Princeton voted for Neville Chamberlain as "the greatest living person." And, to make it worse, the news report adds that Hitler lost by a nose, trailing the statesman with the umbrella by but a single vote. It is possible, of course, that no accolade of admira- tion went with the laurels. Indeed, almost half' the members of the Tiger elec- torate expressed some doubt as to the mental ad- justment of the German chief. And, even so, one cannot escape the impression that the sad young men of New Jersey are deeply mired in defeatism at the moment. According to scouts who have visited other members of the Ivy League, despair is also preva- lent in Cambridge and New Haven. The frosty fingers of Fascism have touched the scions of the ruling classes along the Atlantic seaboard. This is hardly a healthy sign, but it need not be stressed too hard, for that tired feeling of nega- tion may well be transitory. Other generations of college men have said, "There is no hope," and lived to shake off this pessimism along with mumps and measles. A * * The Scare Might Explain It Perhaps the whole thing is a symptom of nothing more than the waning year and the color of the football season along the yards and campuses of the universities which once com- posed what were known as "The Big Three." It might be pertinent to point out that a com- posite score drawn from the games of last Satur- day would read:-Yale, Harvard and Princeton, 0; opponents, 63. I doubt that any single afternoon on the grid- iron within the memory of living man has been so poisonous to the Ivy Trio. Later on these teams will meet each other, and on those occasions it will be impossible for each to lose simultaneous- ly. The stimulus of a few touchdowns, even if scored merely against the Elis, may bring the roses back to the cheeks of the Princeton gradu- ates. Life must be better than a succession of mourn- ful Munichs, and the sad young men will not forever bow down in the House of Hitler. Yet there is no getting away from the fact that democracy stands in need of new dedication. I doubt that it will come from any of the spokes- men on the extreme right. * * * Apologists For The Nazi Creed The very men who have been most passionate in announcing their devotion to "free institu- tions" have in many cases become apologists for the Nazi creed. Some who have asserted that their opposition to Roosevelt was engendered by their fear that he was dictatorially minded open- ly express admiration for both Mussolini and the Fuehrer. Apparently it all depends upon whose trains are made to run on time. Surely our institutions of higher learning should educate their students in precise and accurate definition of "great" and "greatness." Obviously historians of a future day will give full space to the phenomenon which is symbol- ized by the name of Hitler. But when the accounts are checked up he will not be numbered- among those whose memory is revered by mankind. It will go ill with us if our young men cease to see visions and dream dreams. The universities of the world by brave tradition have been the citadels which kept alive the fires of aspiration in all the darkest days of civiliza- tion. Our own American colleges qre a heritage from ancestors who did not take the rights of free men lightly. They did not quit when foe- men of reaction pressed them closely. Now is the time to hear from the Bowl to Soldiers' Field and ancient slogans. "Mold 'em, Yale!" and "Hold 'em Harvard!" also, what's the matter with the swift return from the judgment of Tiger cubs to the faith and the tradition of a more primitive Princeton? What's the matter with going back to Nassau Hall? Good News? To the Editor: A joyous morsel of news has just been called to my atention. And I am just busting to spread this ravishing report from the Carillon tower to the court house dome and back. At long last Utopia has been achieved! Two brand new paradises have been created in Ann Arbor ! The German-American restaurant on Williams street and the Subway Lunch Counter on North University Avenue have instituted a clever little policy which is expected to double or even triple an already prosperous trtde. These two bits of drooling heaven do not cater to Negroes anymore! Now you and any of your friends may sit down in a seventh "heaven and enjoy a delicious meal to your heart's content without seeing one-no, not even one Negro unless, of course you happen to look out the win- dow and accidently see one of the creatures shuf- fling along the street. Many complaints were made to the respective managements, about their abominable and care- less practice in serving Negroes. Hence, the managements have informed very politely any hapless Negroes that their dusky faces are np longer desired around anymore. So, guide your dainty steps to where you may eat in a complete. ly unpolluted atmosphere-unless of course you YouofT M By Sec Terry SCENE: A hall in Munich, through whose windows can be seen a flock of white doves, grinning impishly (as only white doves can) at the grotesque gathering within.A Characters: Skinny, Spanky, Spiker and Butch.l nAs the curtain rises, the four lads are enaged in checkers on a map of Central Europe. Skinny, gaunt and grim, his winged collar wilted by theC autumn heat, paces nervously about the room. He seems particularly sad-c eyed when he sees lying on the floorl a torn scrap of paper, on which can l be seen the end of some word, ". sailles." Spike strokes hisclosely( cropped mustache, eyes the king row with covetous eyes, then speaks) s Spike-Sit down, Skinny. You an- noy me. (Skinny, preoccupied in rev- erie, looks querulously at a picture of Bismarck on the wall, but sayst nothing.)t Spike (obviously irritated by Skin- ny's inattention, barks)-Sit down, Skinny! Spanky (sympathetic and himself scared)-Ah, Spike, leave im be. Spike-Shut up, Spanky!I Butch-Yeh, shut up, Spanky! Sit down, Skinny! (Whereupon, Spike furtively moves1 one of Skinny's men, then proceeds to) double jump into the king row. Butch,1 watching from the corner of his eye, sees Spike's underhanded maneuver). Skinny (rising as though to leave) -Gentlemen, I must beg of you my leave. Spanky (imploringly)-Ah, don't go yet, Skinny. Butch (suddenly authoritative, his chin jutting suggestively)-Yeh, you'd better go now. And take Spanky a- long. Me and Spike wanna play some real checkers, eh Spike? (And Butch' doesn't smile, either). (At this juncture, Skinny and Span- ky leave, and the doves flutter into the dusk). * * * THE OTHER night we encountered again that rare bit of whimsical nonsense, which reads: Yesterday upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there; He wasn't there again today, My God, I wish he'd go away, It recalled to mind the story of the slightly inebriated motorist and his equally plastered companion. They were driving along when the driver dozed off and ran into a curb. No damage was done, but the jolt aroused the companion, who inquired as to their whereabouts. "I don't know," the driver replied feebly, "but if you're sleepy, I'll drive." PROF. ART VAN DUREN dreamt the other night that Michigan would beat Minnesota, 20 to 0. Nor- mally skeptical of such intangible por- tents as a dream, the professor visioned the game so clearly that he was sorely tempted to lay a wager perhaps. He saw Norm Purucker in- tercept a Gopher pass to score a touchdown; he watched the Wolverine line repulse a Viking charge within the shadows of the goal. But when, late in the fourth quarter, he saw one of his colleagues in the German de- partment, an elderly gent with hardly a bent for strenuous athletics, inter- cept a pass and run 50 yards for an- other score, he was immediately in- clinedto forget the dream ever hap- pened. AND NOW we join the hegira north- ward, to the land of 10,000 (count 'em) lakes, the haven of the Olsens and Johnsons-God's country in the old days, Floyd Olsen cashier. Minne- sota! We spent several summers in the Bunyanesque lake land, in Brain- erd, Bemidji. Duluth, south to Albert' .ea, west to Minnesota-but always back to THE CITIES, St. Paul and Minneapolis, and we shan't make the tactless error of . suggesting to a Washington street loafer that Michi- gan might win. Not yet do we want to experience a Czechoslovakian dis- memberment. If possible, we hope to see Falstaff again, Falstaff of the sports pages, twirling his mustache in the lobby of the Nicollet Hotel, ranting effusively about Gopher pow- er but unwilling as ever to back his claims with negotiable paper. Maybe we can see Mattke, the man who "died" in 1935, when he took the cure. A temperate imbiber, Mattke was one of life's little noblemen, gay, impetuous, bright. But after taking the Keeley treatment, he became a hopeless babbitt, viewing the future with a beautiful optimism. Now he munches fiercely on peanuts "to keep tfrom drinking."
