The Acid Test
For Cvil Service . ..
MICHIGAN'S new Civil Service law
will be put to the acid test when the
first session of the new legislature convenes
this week. And whether it will withstand the on-
slaught of job-seekers already crowding the
noisy corridors of the Capitol, will depend large-
ly on Governor Fitzgerald's vigilance and cour-
age in fighting attempts to scuttle it.
That there is no overwhelming sentiment in
favor of the Act among the politicians of the
Republican party, became apparent early last
month when James F. Thompson, chairman of
the Republican State Central Committee, sent
letters to all the county chairmen in which he
advocated repeal of the law. Professing his
friendship for the "principle of civil service,"
Mr. Thompson condemned the present law as
"partisan and New Deal measure."
His charges that the Act blanketed in office
the hundreds of Democrats who were employees
at the time the law went into effect are not
without justification. It is true that incumbents
were retained in office if they could pass the
civil service examintion. If not, their office was
filled in the regular manner from the list of
those who were successful. Mr. Thompson wants
this corrected.
The way to achieve a fair administration, he
believes, is to begin anew. Repeal the law and
turn out the Democrats. Then make a fresh
start with an even stronger civil service law. It
is perhaps not surprising that few people are
fooled by this patent attempt to revert to the
spoils system and all the waste and inefficiency
concomitant with it.
The start in civil service has to be made some-
time. And it is just that those already in office
should remain there if they can meet the quali-
fications set up by the Commission. In the long
run, as the service gets under way, the per-
sonnel will become more evenly distributed be-
tween the two parties, for each administration
will undoubtedly appoint to office those mem-
bers of its own party who are the highest on
examinations. Any attempt to repeal the Act
and "begin anew" is manifestly the work of dis-
gruntled politicians whose lip service to the
"principle of civil service" fools no one but them-
selves.
The Michigan Civil Service Act, which is one
of the most forward-looking laws of its kind on
the statute books of any state, is a non-partisan
measure. The study committee which drafted
the law was appointed by Fitzgerald during his
first term. However, the committee made its
recommendations during Murphy's administra-
tion, and it was he who pushed the bill through
the Legislature. Both men have equally good,
records as upholders of civil service reform.
Governor Fitzgerald has publicly stated that
"there will be no wholesale invasion of the merit
system." But whether the Governor has the
power to prevent an invasion by the spoilsmen in
his own party is another matter. A simple major-
ity vote of the Legislature may amend or repeal
the law. A veto by the Governor may be over-
ridden only by a two-thirds vote. If Governor
Fitzgerald cannot withstand the pressure of the
party spoilsmen or cannot muster enough sup-
port in the Legislature to sustain his veto, the
outlook is indeed gloomy for the future of civil
service reform in Michigan.

The Governor's
Message
T HE THOUGHTFUL and objective
tenor of Governor Fitzgerald's first
message to the legislature may well please his
Republican constituents and all groups in the
state. A program for industrial peace was an
important part of his recommendations and
showed that he would set about his duties as
adminisrator with a view not to partisan and
localized interests but to the real problems of
the state and of all the interests within the
state. His program was broad and well-balanced.
If the governor's recommendations are fol-
lowed, Michigan will have a new labor relations
act with the objective of industrial peace taking
into consideration the interests of all parties
affected, labor, employer and the general public.
Under his program, labor will have the right to
strike and of collective bargaining, but "the
right of employers to the possession of their
property must be reaffirmed,, and an attempt
will be made through the operation of state
agencies to settle disputed matters without dis-
turbing the regular routine of affairs for the
thousands of workers and other vitally inter-
ested. Many people believe that an orderly dis-
cussion between differing factions of business-
men and labor will prove far more beneficial to
the factions themselves and to the general public
than strife and the coercion of one side by the
other. Nothing can further industrial peace
more than carefully designated legislation toj
provide these conditions of discussion with the
people of the state as an interested party.
As gratifying as this suggestion is the de-
mand for definite aid to education and Governor
Fitzgerald's insistance that the civil service act
be maintained and carried on. The average citi-
zen can provide his children with something more
valuable to meet the world's competition than
a well-grounded education. The governor has
recognized the justice of demands for school aid
by his definite stand for state funds to meet
the needs. In plugging for the civil service, too,
Governor Fitzgerald not only demonstrates
that he is in sympathy with advanced methods
for securing good governmental function, but
he is also agreeing that the efforts of his prede-
cessor to that purpose shall not be discarded
because of party differences.
There are many other encouraging indications
in the governor's message-indications that the
head of the state intends to put Michigan on its
financial feet with a minimum of disturbance
to vital functions and with an eye to public
necessities. His program has been well considered
and now is presented to the lawmakers in defin-
ite and considered terms . The challenge is up
to them to cooperate to the utmost in producing
a state government that will consider the needs
and advancement of all the citizens as its respon-
sibility.

Totalitarian Payrolls

Heywood Broun
HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 5-New York may be
the nation's melting pot, but Connecticut is the
crucible where Greek meets Greenwich and be-
comes Republican. The Nut-
meg State is typical of New
England in the fact that
Colonial stock diminishes
and gives way to Romans,
Croats and Poles. Bridge-
. port provides balance in itsE
Czechs, and yet the Puritans
give ground reluctantly. In1
the new Legislature, just'
met, are many names which stem back to the
Charter Oak, and all the major scandals of the
last two years have been contrived by nativec
Americans.1
A highly respected Governor who was un-
touched by any hint of corruption steps downE
after four consecutive terms, but since WilburE
Cross is only 76, all his supporters confidently;
expect him to make a comeback two years hence.
A Yale Democrat gives way to Baldwin, a Wes-I
leyan Republican, but the political picture is1
actually more complicated. 0
Dean Cross, who is locally known as Uncle
Toby, would have won easily enough but for a
leak engineered by Jasper McLevy, journeyman
roofer and Socialist Mayor of Bridgeport. Jasper
ran up the amazing total of 164,000 votes. This
would be proportionately the biggest radical vote
ever polled in America, if McLevy were a radi-
cal. He won his right to use the word "Socialist"
by a fair fight in court against the forces of
Norman Thomas. Believe it or not, Norman is a
little to the left of Jasper.
Socialists Play Ball With G.O.P.
In the last campaign McLevy, the taxpayers'
friend, was aided and abetted by the Republir
cans. Through his kindly efforts they gained
election. In secret party sessions last night it
was decided that the two Socialist Senators
should play ball with the G.O.P. in order to or-
ganize the upper house and permit the inaugura-
tion to proceed. And so when the guard marched,
all in gold and scarlet it was by the permission
of Jasper, the accommodating proletarian.
It would not be too much to say that he has
given to the masses, braid and caucuses. And
yet though no one crosses over from the right
bank of the Rubicon by pulling down a lever for
Connecticut Socialism, I think it does represent
the process of timidly putting one toe into the
water. The men and women of the industrial
areas are on the way, but they are still standing
on the corner waiting for a street car, and if
there is timidity in taking any definite direction
one of the factors making for caution is pscho-
logical.
Hartford is not only the capital of Connecticut
but also the metropolis of the insurance world. Its
modes and manners are set by a Samurai group
known as actuaries. These.Mandarins of mortal-
ity can figure out expectancy to the decimal
point. In the lower orders are vast armies of
clerks, discreet and uncomplaining. They live
upon expectancy. In Hartford it is a sin to die
or turn your ankle. It hurts the underwriter as
much as it hurts you.
Faith In Democracy Rekindled.
The actuaries are safe and sane. No actuary
goes to bed much after 10 or plays bridge for
more than a tenth of a cent. On New Year's Eve
he might, perchance, toast the hope of the
twelve months to come in a slight glass of dry
sherry. But even this he does reluctantly, since
he carries in the back of his head the percentage
tables. Nevertheless, I stood and watched the
farmers, the artisans, the lawyers and the fugi-
tive New Yorkers walk into the Capitol today,
each taking over his place in the lower or upper
chamber, and my faith in democracy was re-
kindled because they trooped by the statue of a.
great American, Nathan Hale, of Coventry, Conn.,.
who was a good citizen and a brave soldier.
He stands in bronze within the rotunda under a
neo-Moorish dome. He has been sculptured in
very tight-fitting breeches and he stands with
his back to the insurance building. On the front
of the pedestal is that famous utterance of his,
so often misquoted. He said, "I only regret that'
I have but one life to lose for my country."
New Japan
Japan's trend toward outright Fascism is ac-
celerated by its present Cabinet shuffle. Prince
Konoye, forced out as Premier, would never be
considered a liberal by Western standards, but
he was at least a voice for comparative modera-
tion, though forced to serve with a Cabinet "+.
most exclusively of military men. His successor,
Baron Hiranuma, is a descendant of the Sumurai,
who combines the ancient anti-Western spirit
with a generous infusion of Fascist principles.
His totalitarian beliefs have led him to include
in his Cabinet the most reactionary and mili-
taristic spirits he can find.
One result is likely to be complete invocation
of the national mobilization law under which
the regimentation of all Japanese business and
other activities would be complete. There is thus
an indication that all is not going well on the
economic front, just as the military shake-up,
in which Gen. Yamada succeeds Gen. Hata as
commander in China indicates dissatisfaction
with the course of the war. The hope of not so
many years ago, that Japah would ultimately
become a progressive democracy, recedes further
and further under the pressure of war and its
resutant economic crisis.
It is a danger that threatens nations far more
The F LYING
T TRAPEZE
By Roy Heath --
That D - -- Roosevelt,. .
LONG highly regarded as a topic ofi
conversation has been that vague1
subject known wherever people gath-
er to chew the fat as "conditions."
As material for tirades by cracker
barrel solons, business men, the,
clergy, and anyone with a tongue in 1
their head, "conditions" top sex,J
sports or any other general term you
want to mention.j
I ascribe the preeminent position1
of "conditions" in the conversa onalI
field to the fact that it embraces al-
most any topic under the sur. The
only prerequisite to discussing "con-
ditions" is a loud voice, an impressive
supply of dogma studded with an
occasional fact which may or may,
not be sound, depending on the com-
pany you are discussing "conditions"
with. The actual ability to think eith-
er clearly or logically is not abso-
lutely necessary, for a discussion of
"conditions" is usually neither a dis-
cussion nor a conversation. What it
amounts to is one man expressing his
ideas erronpous and ill-founded as
they may be to one or more individ-
uals.
These ideas and opinions are as
hard and fast as concrete. They will,
be expressed to listeners willy-nilly
and nothing on God's green earth
~can change them. This is probably
just as well because the persons who
try to change them invariably en-
deavour to foist off another set of
sophistries as bad if not worse than
those of the person he is trying to
out-discuss. The best break anyone
can get out of such a seminar is to
wait until the man who is talking
pauses for breath then snatch the
puck away from him and try to keep
it by dint of a louder voice and wide
gestures.
As such, discussing "conditions" is
not bad sport and I would not want
to see it ever vanish from the Ameri-
can scene. At the present time, how-
ever, I see in this ancient institution
one of the real reasons why the long
awaited recovery has not put in its
appearance long ago. Here it is, al-
most time for another depression and
we haven't even recovered from the
last one.
"Conditions" discussions stand con-
demned for the simple reason that for
"conditions," too many business men,
professional men, and just ordinary
men have substituted "Roosevelt."
Mention "F.D.R." in almost any com-
pany and several people will turn a
dull purple hue, gag and then begin
to hurl vituperation at you until you
wish you hadn't brought it up. Mr.
Roosevelt, according to these individ-
uals, is to blame for everything which
has happened since 1933 including
certain incidents which used to be
classified under the "Acts of God"
clause in contracts.
In this stint, I do not choose to
either attack or defend the Presi-
dent's policies. Many of them I do
not pretend to understand and none
of them in all their ramifications.
That gives me roughly as much know-
ledge of the question as most of the
persons who villify him. can claim, but
I would not be so foolhardy as to
try to prove that point to them. What
Roosevelt has or hasn't done is be-
side the point. For those who feel
that he is to blame for all the calam-
ities, real or imagined, that have be-
fallen them and theirs, he is the
symbol of disaster. There is no use in
doing anything but struggling to'
, keep their heads above water. They
have ceased to advance out of sheer
blind hatred of a man. They have
closed their eyes to any possible .good
that man may have worked. But it is
impossible to close the eyes without
shutting out everything. Consequently
these men see nothing. Their outlook
is black.
The odd thing about men of this
stripe who spend their time hating
Roosevelt instead of endeavouring to
fight their own way in an attempt to
better the "conditions" about which
they lament is that in most cases
their own standard of living has
changed very little. I do not say that
this is true in every case. I say that
it is true in every case I know of.
These people have their same steaks,
a new automobile when they fee:
they need one, a soft bed, a highbal
before supper and for the most par
all that is needed to live a very satis-
factory life indeed.
Why do they cry then? Usually or
the vague suspicion that Roosevelt is
stealing something from them t(
spend on those "damn guys leaning
on the shovels." There are left a few
men, with whom it is my pleasure to
be acquainted, who feel that if they
continue to advance, to work a little

'The Ugly Duckling'
"The Ugly Duckling," which opened yesterday
as the last Children's Theatre production of the
year, came at first as a letdown after the swift-
moving, adventuresome "Kindly Pirate" present-
ed in December. After that more meaty original
play by Richard McKelvey, the director, his
current operetta adaptation of the Andersen tale
seems lacking in excitement and dramatic punch.
Considered alone however, "The Ugly Duck-
ling" can be appreciated as a musical review with
a central theme rather than a plot. The story
of the transformation of the duckling serves only
as a case upon which to display the real merchan-
dise: the songs with excellent lyrics by Miriam
Brous, dances and general musical comedy tech-
nique pointed up by dialogue. In these and the
gaiety of the cast, which includes 60 children,
five years old and up, lies the very real appeal of
the piece.
And the appeal and success of a play cannot be
denied when it wins clamorous approval, as this
did, from the public to which it caters: the
children. Technical flaws could be noted: a lack
of lighting coordination or an occasional depart-
ure from the dialogue as originally iitended. More
cohesion which could probably be achieved in
a longer period of rehearsal would undoubtedly
be desirable. It woud add unity to the individual-
ly enjoyable features of "The Ugly Duckling."
The most memorable of those features is a
rooster dance by two unidentified (by me) male
members of the University dance group. It is
modern dance, symbolic of a cock fight with all
the sparring and belligerent energy that a dance-
and-cockfight fan (like myself)'could ask for. The
tap dances and swan ballet do not measure up
to the cocks in finish although the spontaneity
in one case and graceful costumes and lighting
in the other are, reasonable substitutes.
Miriam Brouse's performance as the timorous
Kitten with white ears and tremendous white
mitts is the freshest in the play. Her change from
timidity and tears to a swaggering pridein her
new ferocity takes the focus from Georgianna
Clark as a reallylovely little duckling after her
transformation. Jim Bob Stevenson as her swan
prince plays his part sympathetically, appropri-
ately as he has played in previous roles.
