Racket-Busters
And Political Opportunity
AS THE JUDGE announced his con-
viction, Jacob "Gurrah" Shapiro,
last of "The Gorilla Boys" and head of the$75,-
000,000-a-year fancy fur-dressing 'racket, cried,
"They don't go after the little fellows-they go
after the big shots like me."
By "they" he meant New York's racket-bus-
ters, Tom Dewey and Harlan Amen. These two
had done little to affect the security of small
fry. They had instead found, perhaps by ac-
cident, that there was more to be gained from
crucifying the big shots than by playing ball
with them. Dewey's sleuthing brought the trial
and conviction of Judge Martin T. Manton, who
had apparently "sold" justice; Dewey put Tam-
many bigwig James J. Hines behind the bars;
his gangland victims included "Legs" Dimond,
"Waxey" Gordon, "Dutch" Schultz (who was
shot to death before he could be tried), "Lucky"
Luciano and "Tootsie" Herbert. Over in Brook-
lyn, Amen brought in 40 indictments in his first
seven months.
AS A RESULT of his zealous crusading, Tom
Dewey has risen to a vantage point from
which he has tossed his hat in the presidential
ring. His reputation needed no political ma-
chine's publicity, no coddling of convention dele-
gates, no compromises with powerful bigshots.
Instead, he executed a public office so efficiently
and brilliantly that he made his own political
capital.
Since he has shown the way, racket-busters
have sprung up like mushrooms all over the
country. Gov. Lloyd C. Stark of Missouri teamed
up with Attorney General Frank Murphy to send
"Boss" Pendergast of Kansas City to prison. In
Pennsylvania, former Gov. George H. Earle's
machine was investigated. In Cleveland, Eliot
Ness, city safety director, last year indicted 10
policemen and 23 "racketeer and muscle men."
Newspapers have given banner headlines to
this reform wave. America needs cleaning up.
But what may be more important in the long
run is that Tom Dewey has demonstrated a new
formula for political success. He has shown
that there is a legitimate, even a hyper-legiti-
mate, way of claiming popular attention.
WE KNOW that the most productive of our
legislators today the Borahs, Norrises,
Wagners-are above the hurly-burly elements
of vote-getting. They have become so respected,
their merits so recognized, that their constitu-
ents will return them to office whether or not
they look out for their locality. They can take
a national view; they do not have to keep one
eye fearfully intent upon the voters' desires.
The American legislatures, state ar.d federal,
have inevitably become too bound up in these
lesser elements of democracy. If you are a
public figure, you either spend most of your
time appeasing the folks back home or you give
up the political ghost. It is this flaw that has
given democracy its seamy side-its pork-bar-
reling, log-rolling, baby-kissing.
Dewey's rise has pointed out one small way
by which "politics" may be circumvented. In-
stead of using his office for its immediate gravy,
Dewey is looking ahead, is trying to make his
present post a springboard to something higher.
Re has, by his success as a racket-buster,
reached much the same position in public life as
Borah, Norris or Wagner: He has sufficient pres-
tige that he can divorce himself from provincial
interests.

M1ADAME FLAGSTAD'S Choral Union re-
cital tomorrow evening may be her last in
Ann Arbor, for it is rumored that after filling
this year's concert and operatic engagements
she will retire from public life. If it is a swan-
program, we cannot deny its finality and im-
pressiveness. Well balanced in both key and
mood, it is comprised of the music the renowned
soprano has revitalized for many a hardened
critic.
Madame Flagstad, accompanied by the con-
ductor-composer-pianist, Mr. Edwin McArthur,
will open her program with Schubert's Die All-
macht and will close with Richard Strauss' Hie
sollten wir geheim sie halten, thus bounding a
program consisting wholly of music of the Ro-
mantic School. Now one thing may be said for
an all-romantic program that can be said neith-
er for an all-classic nor all-modern one: it is
rich in color and mood and its language is well-
enough known not to demand too much from
our powers of concentration. Therefore, what-
ever is to be gained from such a program will
be gotten from the artist's newness of interpre-
tation. Where there is a relative absence of
mood and color, as in the Classic School, the
interpreter is more or less subordinate to the
objective statement of the composer's original
idea. And the more clear, concise and exact
this statement is, the more unencumbered by
subjective considerations-moods, visions, fan-
tasies--just that much more "musical" will be
his understanding of the classic ideal.
This is not to say that temperament .and feel-
ing for color, etc., do not enter into the rendi-
tion of Haydn or Gluck. Not at all. But sure-
ly the interpreter's emphasis is not upon these
qualities as such, but upon the contrapuntal
pattern and the "orderly movement of parts."
When a romantic composer, such as Brahms,
becomes partially classic in structure, then the

WASHINGTON-With all the talk of budget
pruning, it is interesting to note that two
agencies which did not get slashed are the Unit-
ed States Senate and the Executive Offices of
the White House. Apparently neither the leg-
islators nor the President relished curtailing
their own expense allowances.
Equally interesting is the fact that the Ex-
ecutive Office budget this year has jumped to
$3,573,700, which is just a nose from the amount
to be spent by the Senate, namely $3,865,624.
Senate moguls cite this with mingled glee and
alarm, pointing out that the United States, un-
der Roosevelt, is approaching a dictatorship,
and that the expense of running the ;residetial
offices now comes close to the cost df running
the entire United States Senate-including the
salaries of 96 Senators, plus clerks, mineral
water, barbers, and railroad travel.
Real fact, however, is that the Executive Of-
fice budget was increased this year by the trans-
fer of the Budget Bureau, the National Emer-
gency Council, and other agencies to the White
House. This was one result of the government
reorganization bill.
Aside from this, however, the Senators are
right that the cost of maintaing the Executive
Office, taken separately, has increased. In
1939 it was $2,370,877, while in 1940 it will be
$2,972,100. This includes the salary of the
President, also of Vice-President Garner, the
salaries of White House clerks, and maintenance
of buildings.
The Senate budget, which is given in the most
meticulous detail, includes: "For folding
speeches and pamphlets $18,000. For packing
boxes, $970. Laborer in charge of senate toilet
rooms in the old library space, $1,200. Twenty-
one pages for the Senate Chamber at the rate
of $4 a day each ..."

Note-The Senate budget scheduled for 1941
is about $173,000 greater than for 1940.
Mr. L. W. (Chip) Robert, vivacious secretary
of the Democratic National Committee, came
back to his apartment in the Mayflower un-
expectedly the other afternoon to find his wife,
the glamorous Evie, decked out in an apron and
mixing cocktails for a bridge party across the
hall.
Hostess at the bridge party was Mrs. Gary
Grayson, whose late husband was aide to Wood-
row Wilson. Guests at the party included Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Jesse Jones, wife of
the New Deal loan czar.
This information, however, Mr. Robert
gleaned from the maid. He did not see the
ladies, nor did they see him. Instead he picked
up the telephone and called Mrs. Grayson.
"Mrs. Grayson," he said, "this is the manage-
ment of the Mayflower. I'm terribly sorry to
disturb you, but you know we hve a lot of trouble
with the unions, and I understand you are em-
ploying a scab waitress this afternoon.
"You know, the regulations of the hotel are
that all liquor served in our guests' rooms must
be served by a hotel waiter. Otherwise we're
likely to have another strike around here."
"Oh, dear me!" exclaimed Mrs. Grayson. "Am
I in wrong with the union? What had I better
do?"

performer will find himself obliged to exert
a greater degree of exactness for the composer's
composition rather than for his, the singer's,
pianist's or violinist's, feeling about that com-
position.
The Modern School, of course, offers plenty
of room for color, mood and even elaboration;
but the message itself is so new and generally
startling (if truly modern) that the "interpreter"
finds little time for expressing himself at all.
Here his business is almost the same as that
in performing works of the classic school, al-
though for a very different reason: viz, to pre-
sent the composer's work as simply and exactly
as the composer means it.
Since romantic music is a music born of blood
and feeling (Norwegian and northern), the artist
is allowed greater scope for making apparent
his message of farewell. Perhaps that is one
reasn why Madame Flagstad has chosen an all-
romantic program.
The Norwegian, Eyvind Alnaes, was born in
the last century and died eight years ago. He
held various posts in Drammen and Christiania
(Oslo) as organist, choirmaster and conductor.
As a composer he became known by his Sym-
phony in C minor and soon after by his Sym-
phonic Variations. "His works show solid con-
struction, capable treatment of counterpoint
and effective instrumentation." His use of
rhythms is both powerful and varied. But it is
as a.lyric composer that Alnaes became inter-
nationally known. His songs rank among the
best productions of his native Norway. They
are nationalistic in character, while of simple
and natural construction. Recently, singers such
as Flagstad, Wettergren, Thorborg and others,
have brought them into prominence in America.
It.is a long program, running as follows: Die
Allmacht, Fruhlingsglaube, Ungeduld, all by
Schubert; O wusst' ich doch den Weg zuruck,
Meine Liebe ist grun, by Brahms; then in Nor-
wegian: Fra mdnte Pineo (Mount Pinci). Med
en vandlilje (A Waterlily), Et Haab (My Hope),
all by Grieg; Lykken mellem to mrnnesker (Our
Happiness), and Varlengsler (Spring Yearnings),
by Alnaes; the "Liebestod" from Wagner's "Tris-
tan and Isolde"; Song for Lovers, by Deems
Taylor; Spring Came.' by Edwin McArthur;
When I have Sung my Songs, by Ernest Charles;
Sea Moods, by Mildred Tyson; and closing with
the three Richard' Strauss songs: efreit, Di
muines her'ec Krouelein, and Wie solten wir
geheim sie halten
THE EDITOR
GSETS TOLD ..
To the Editor:
In his defense of the American Student Union,
which appeared on the editorinl page of Thurs-
day's Daily, Gulliver showed a certain philo-
sophic detachment and sense of historical per-
spective which, as a rule, has been entirely lack-
ing in the pronouncements of his more emotion-
al and dogmatic colleagues on the editoril staff.
Nevertheless he has failed utterly in his futile
attempt to apologize for the obvious hypocrisy
of the ASU. That organization has for several
years been pretending to serve the' interests of
"peace and democracy," and has regularly de-
nied that its main purpose was to promote the
growth in this country of a more friendly atti-
tude towards the Soviet Union, and to inculcate
in the American people the false belief that the
latter country was a "democracy." As a matter
of fct the ASU is thoroughly dominated by
persons of Marxist ideology. Its membership
may be divided into two classes: Communists,
who do the work, and fools, who do the talking
and write the pamphlets.
History has not moved too fast for the ASU.
The truth is that history, in its recent chapters,
has shown that the economic and political
world is more complicated than the dupes of
Marxism have assumed. Their philosophy is
too narrow; their childish categories do not ex-
haust the political universe. The people of the
world cannot be classed only as good democrats
and bad fascists.
To be more specific, these foolish young radi-
cals have not realized in the past what is so

fearfully apparent now, namely that there are
certain elements in Soviet Communism which
are just as antagonistic to real democracy as
are the doctrines of fascism. Hence their con-
sternation to the natural and inevitable alli-
ance of Germany and Russia, and their failure
to regard realisticly the coming world struggle
between communism and democracy which seems
as sacriligeous to them as a rebellion of the
Virgin Mary against God would seem to the
Catholics). They have not yet realized that
fascism is nothing more than the natural re-
action against socialism, merely a more ad-
vanced stage of the same social disease.
Nor can we take seriously the excuse offered
by Gulliver that the situation with respect to
Finland is materially different than the Span-
ish, Ethiopian, or Chinese situations. It is in-
deed true that in order to give even moral en-
couragement to the Finns, we would have to
join hands temporarily with England and Her-
bert Hoover, but since when has this been a
disgrace to the ASU? Did it not urged us to
join with England to help Leftist Spain?
Who dares to be so unrealistic as not to ad-
mit the true reason why all the dupes of the
ASU and similar radical movements) regard
the Russo-Finnish War as unique? The real
reason is, of course, that it is the Soviet Union,
the land which they love the most, upon which

During the recent holiday recess
one young gent who lives in Montana
thought it would be a good chance
to put the bee on the paternal min
'or some J-Hop funds. So he ap
proached the animated check-book
inquired after his health, and ther
told him he was joining the calvary
unit of the ROTC and would nee
some dough for a horse; about $150
he thought, ought to get him a-pretty
fine animal. The financing Mathe:
saw visions of his boy leading a cal.
vary troop in a parade,-made a crack
about how he thought a pair of ski
would be more useful, then assure
his chiseling child that everything
would be taken care ofr.
So the lad came backhto schoo
and awaited mail from home. One
day last week at dinner, the phone
rang and he was called. He picked
up the receiver, said, yes that was
he, what was it? And the voice o
the express man boomed over the
wire: "Well, when in hell are y
comin' to pack up this horse?"
UST TO GET this business of J
Hop tales out of the way once and
for all, here's one that happened a
the Union while the ticket sale was
in progress. One group of lads stood
in line all day and when they got to
the ticket window, it closed for the
day. So they decided to park in the
lobby all night. But the Union said
no to that. So what do the boys do
but chip in, rent a room in the
Union and take turns sitting up in
line all night.
Ironical thought: these are prob-
ably the same guys who will get so
damn drunk they will never know
whether they were to the Hop or an
Armory dance.

Auden is a great modern poet; no

talked in other people's sleep. Com-
menting on the average Britisher's

Hollywood on the other, and Mark
