Levy THE LETTERS keep pouring in. It seems that everyone has some kind of trouble or other and is insisting that Mr. Q. help straighten out their problems. So here is another "advice to whomever needs it" column. Dear Mr. Q.: I am in a great deal of trouble. I am new on this campus and am having trouble finding Yost Field House. I just can't seem to locate it. I love basketball and wanted so badly to see a real Big Ten game (I had heard so much about Conference basketball). Well, last Saturday I knew that Michigan was playing Chicago in the Field House and I started down State St. about 7 o'clock to find the place and get a good seat: I thought I found it and took my seat with a lot of other people. But when the team started to play, I knew I was in the wrong place be- cause I had seen better basketball in my high school. Well, Monday, I decided to be very careful and make sure to find the Field House, because I did want to see Purdue play. I was very care- ful in my directions and was sure that I was in the, Field House but when the game started, I found I had gotten into the wrong place again and was watching the same high school league or even a grammar school game (although they were a little big for grammar school, except the ones in the white jerseys). Can you help me? Where is the Field House? Puzzled. Dear Puzzled: You are making a mountain out of a bas- ketball game. I can't imagine where you could*have gone astray because, from what you say you WERE in Yost Field House watching Big Ten basketball. The next time you, start out for a game, here's how you can make sure you are in the Field House. After you sit down, watch across on-the other side; if little glows of light flash every second, signifying a lit match, you are fairly certain to be in the right place. But, to be abso- lutely positive, when they make an an- nouncement asking the people not to smoke, if the air is so thick with fumes as to make visibility quite poor, you can know you are- in the Field House. You're welcome, Mr. Q: Dear Mr. Q.: Deans are funny people. But they are at least supposed to be fairly literate. Following is a quote from a recent Free Press story on a ParenN Teacher meeting and a little verse that I have appended: . . . in a propaganda world, clear and in- cisive thinking is imperative . . . We must har- ness our educational goals to form anti-toxin against social catastrophe ... THE DEAN MIXES HIS METAPHORS Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Parents and teachers at dinner on Saturday Fearing the advent of social catastrophe Wanted to saddle our goals. We may wake up under selfish autocracy Unless we fight for a sturdy democracy, Educate all at detecting hypocrisy: Saddle and bridle our goals We must be trained in the art leucocytical; Before poison spreads in the body political; Demos can generate juice antitoxical Provided we harness our goals. G .Watt Bliss, * * * Deah Mistah Q.: Well, ah figguh ah got's as much right's any da myank to ask you-all sumpin', ah reckon. Wal, ah's lak tuh ask you-all tuh fetch me-all one of them thar slogans for this yere demer- -ratic convenshum thas comin'. Thankin' youall, suh, John Nance (in my pants) Garner. Dear Mr. John Nance (in my pants) Gar- ner: How about "Gone With the Garner"? You-all is welcome, Mr. Rhett (call me enemy) Q. Dear Mr. Queue: I am disappointed at the lack of sympathy your paper shows for the honorable cause of the Japanese in China. However, I would like your advice on a very impbrtant matter. My Premier (I forget this one's name) told me last week that things are not going so hot in China. "Hi," he said, "the Chinese keep popping up all the time, no matter how many we slug." What can we do, Mr. Queue? Anxiously, Hirohito. Dear Hirohito. If I wasn't sure that you were only in- terested in helping the poor Chinese, I wouldn't even bother to answer, but I know that whatever you do is for their own sake. And what a swell job you are doing of civiliz- ing those barbarians! .A admire your meth- ods: you figure the more you kill off, the easier it will be to civilize them. But, as a friend, I think you ought to know that the Chinese were said to be civilized long be- fore that chopped herring nation of yours ever insulted an Englishman. That was before they started to concentrate on rice, And I would like to warn you that if you don't watch out, your own country will get so concerned over making toys and fire- crackers that they will forget all about be- ing civilized. And, as a famous Chinese phi- lospher named Confucius once said: Jap who kick Chinese dog will get Nippon foot. Mr. Queue. Dear Herr Q.: Der vass ein mann dot vass opp to see me gestern in mine house in Berchtesgaden. He vass a fery funny fellow, mit ein handelbar Schnurrbart und he hat a hammer in vun hant und a sticklefritz in der odder. "Vot you vant, heil hitler?" I ask him. "Vad you gotski," erwi- derte er. Vell, I tell him I got a pain in der neck, und he says he got vun off dem dere und odder places too. I tell him if he don't mach schnell und tell me vot he vants I'll haf ein Sturmabteiler putsch him out, if I could get vun to do it. (You know, Herr Q., dose boys talk sehr funny to me dese days). Zo zuletzt he says he vants I should leef mine hants off dot place down sout', dere, dot Rumania, because he says he don't tink he's gonna like to haf ein Sommerhaus up in the Nort'. Vot am I gonna do, Herr Q.? Adolf Dear Adolf: Just give him the old oil. Mr. Q.

THE STRONGLY contested objections to Governor Dickinson's stringent curtailment of funds for the necessary correc- tive treatment of crippled children in Michigan have apparently slipped into the background. The assignment of 30 NYA workers recently to avoid the drastic curtailment of operations at the Mary Free-Bed Convalescent Home in Grand Rapids because of the sharp reduction in the crippled childrens' fund appropriation is a pun- gent reminder that this condition still exists. Because of the drastic cut in appropriations, the authorities of the Convalescent Home were forced to let many of their expeienced work- ers go. If the NYA had not stepped into the picture and supplied this institution with 30 part-time, workers, the program of necessary medical treatment would have been limited to only a few with the result that many children who might otherwise have been gradually cured, would become hopeless cripples for life. The workers ranging from 18 to 25 years of age are employed in the many departments of the Home and are gaining invaluable work ex- perience. This project is part of an extensive "nurse aid" program carried on by the NYA in Grand Rapids. Two men assist in routine work with boys and take care of casts and braces. One of them, a medical student, -assists with dressings, treat- ments and other medical work under the super- vision of staff physicians. The girls are em- ployed in the plhysio-therapy and occupational therapy departments, in the dining room and kitchens, in the kindergarten and as nurse aides. They also make and repair clothing and, aid in entertaining the children. By working in these departments, they gain experience in the adjustment of braces and other orthopedic appliances, taking temperatures, bathing and feeding and assisting in keeping muscle charts and other records. FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE in nutrition and the part it plays in the growth of young bodies is gained while assisting in the prepara- tion of food in the kitchens. The girls assigned to the occupational therapy department prepare materials for beadwork, sewing and clay model- ing which the young patients are taught to help pass away the long, tedious house while con- valescing. All girl employes receive wide experience , the phases of homemaking through such as- signed tasks of washing, ironing, sterilizing, making surgical bandages and taking care of, surgical instruments. Those, whose talents tur toward sewing take care of the many altera- tions necessary to allow clothing to accommo- date braces and. similar appliances. In considering the assigning of employes for work at the Home, many things are taken into consideration. The young man or woman must be in good health and submit to periodic ex- aminations. He must be fond of children, have a sympathetic and cheerful disposition and un- limited patience. Convalescent children's care must be considered carefully. Those not meet- ing the rigid requirements of this work are trans- ferred to other projects where these require- ments are not so necessary and important.. ORE THAN 36 HOSPITALS in Michigan are enjoying the services of 450 part-time NYA workers who are employed on nurse aid projects. Hospital authorities are strong in their approval Robert S. A en God WASHINGTON-Almost no oneg knew it, but during the hot clashess between Roosevelt and the National Youth Administration, Abbott Simon,t mainspring of the Youth Congress, was a house guest in the White House. He lived there while he or- ] ganized and staged the Congress. o After the stormy sessions were over n and the 5,000 youngsters had left, Si-t mon got up in the morning to de-s part from the White House. Passingg his host in the corridor outside hisw room, Simon said cheerily:d "Good morning, Mr. President!"b FDR stared icily ahead, said noth- V ing., That incident typifies the gap t grown between the President and the group which once looked upon him as youth's greatest hero.a Unquestionably the country atL large, including some of Roosevelt's Republican critics, were with himo and against the Youth Congress dur- ing their skirmish in Washington Yet some of the President's close friends, familiar with the real facts, are worried. Chief worry is the fact that thereL are 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 unemployedt or partially employed youths in thev country. Discontented youth is then seed of fascism, and Roosevelt has lost them.r The youth danger has been recog- nized by such highly respectable C agencies as the American Youth n Commission, of which Owen D.n Young and Henry Harriman, formera head of the United States Chamber of Commerce, are directors.o The Commission urges a federal youth program. This also was the chief thesis of the American Youth Congress. They pointed out thath while U.S. arms budgets soared,1 Roosevelt had cut all appropriations and the National Youth Administra- tion by $15,000,000. Some youth lead- ers also pointed out that no matter ] how high Roosevelt upped army- t navy budgets, national defense wase of little value against fascist seeds ofh unrest at home.S Few Communistsa Fact is that the percentage ofb communists in the American Youth Congress is relatively negligible. The Congress includes youth organiza- C tions from every walk of life-such 1 conservative groups as the YWCA,1 the Student Christian Movement,c even the ultra-conservative Brook-t lyn Young Republicans; also such1 radical outfits as the Young Com-n munist League, and various tradet unions.- The entire question of Commun- ism was threshed out .in advance of the Congress at a private White House meeting called by Mrs. Roose-t velt and attended by about 30 liberalt congressmen. s Frankest advice given the youthf leaders came from Sen. Burt Wheel- er of Montana, who said: "If you want to get anywhere on Capitol Hill, you've got to be prac- tical. Get rid of the Communists."t Youth leaders argued, however,r that Communists existed in the Unit-t ed States and in the ranks of youth, and that they had a right to be heardr if the youth movement was really to1 be representative. They told Wheel- er that the communists could no more be barred than the name of the Communist Party could be barredr from the ballots in a presidential election. They also argued that to expel the Communists would merely send themt underground, make them more men- acing; that it was better to let them! be heard, especially since they were in a vast minority.- La Marseillaise To the Editor: Mr. Weisinger's review of La Mar-' seillaise in Saturday's Daily revolves around a misconception which I am writing to correct. The film is indeed, as the review- er is quick to grasp, a piece of propa- ganda, and a rather dull one. But it' cannot be trying to tell us "that the Second Wqrld War is a struggle for democracy," and it cannot be an "at- tempt to equate 1789 with 1940," forI the simple reason that the film was[ released almost three years ago. The parallel it attempts to draw is between the sans-culottes of 1789 and the voters of the Front Populaire of 1936. It is the story of the Revo- lution as it would be told by Leon Blum. When the film appeared it drew the hilarity of the Right, and was mentioned as little as possible by the Left, made touchy by its clum- siness. An unfavorable review cost Jean Fayard his post on a Leftist weekly. It is regrettable, is it not, how a po- litical ideology can prostitute both art and history? It is regrettable, is it not, how partisanship (and gross ignorance of the French nation) can make a reviewer see, in a would-be .V . .. 1r.__ WEDNESDAY, FEB. 21, 1940 S VOL. L.

Jlo/- The Daily calls the attention of contributors to this column to its established rule that all letters to the editor must be limited to not more than 400 words and must be signed. A pseudonym may be used if the writer wishes, but no letter not bearing the writer's name. and address will be published. The names of contributors, who wish to use a pseudonym, will be kept in strictest confidence. Confidentially, It. Sometime next September, if I am fortunate, I will be walking across the diagonal of this campus. But before I have crossed the campus, T will be interrupted several times by a few gentlemen with the following ejaculation: "Get your Michigan Daily," "Know the what and the how of your campus," "Edited for the stu- dents and by the students." Then the young man will go on to tell me that this paper repre- sents the opinion of the student body, etc., etc., with the final remark that I must have a sub- scription to survive as a competent student on the campus. I think that The Daily does a very good job of printing the news of the world, the activities of the campus, and the sports review. But I must say, and I am not alone in erpressing this opinion, that the editorial page SMELLS! One would think that the' editorial page was reserved expressly for the American Student Union and its sympathizers. Let a person con- tradict an article by an A.S.U. member or a policy upheld by this same organization and what happens? At once half of the editorial staff and a few other fervid A.S.U. members come out with a condemnation of this person, like wolves upon their prey. These fellows would fit very well into the Fred Allen quotation of, "Sees Nothing and Knows All." A few more facts and less propaganda would aid these edi- liver in the issue of Feb. 13, 1940. I have a deep sympathy for the Russian people, who I feel, are being lead into the war like cattle to the slaughter. The power and the glory of one man is maintained at the price of the blood of mil- lions of lives. As any sane person, Mr. Roose- velt condemned the Russian aggression of Fin- land which has irritated Gullivers feelings. Gut- liver therefore procedes to brand Mr. Roosevelt as a war-monger, a hypocrite, and a few other despicable names. For what right has a man in a lowly position as the presidency to condemn a nation or the policy of its leaders? But Gulliver goes on to touch the feelings of the younger generation. Gulliver is very clever in playing upon the minds of these young people, who are more prone to accept new ideas and to jump to conclusions. Young people are more apt to rush into things than an older person who will ponder the problems that arise. Gulli- ver states that this country has not done any- thing for its youth. I would like to know what he calls the Civilian Conservation Corps? How many young men and women have been helped through school by the National Youth Admin- istration? I have seen the radicals of this campus condemn every policy or function of this Government, and yet there are many of these same students who are going through college wholly supported by the government. What type of minds do these young men pos- sess? Give them a dollar and they want a hundred. They haven't the will to work toward a better system in a democratic way, but they want a utopia over night, whether it be at the cost of one life or a million lives. Truly criticisms are necessary to keep the country informed of the problems and alive to to the issues present. Sound criticisms are con- structive, but criticisms on a false basis are detrimental as a whole. Let us endeavor to have fewer and better criticisms, with a better 11C --vs-n i[ rfa r nlirm -- ic.- +1%-+
