Tag Day For America . . TOMORROW there's gping to be an- other Tag Day on caipus. But it will be without any of the traditions behind similar drives for funds. As a matter of fact, it will be the first campaign of its kind ever to be held at this University or any other in the entire nation. The purpose of this drive is one that has been in front of every American since last Dec. 7. A war has been declared on the United States, this war and its inciters must be fought, and its fighting must be financed. Defense bonds are the most direct way open to the ordinary civilian desiring to aid his country in its time of sacri- fice. THE PURPOSE of tomorrow's Tag Day, there- fore, is to sell enough defense 'stamp albums so that every student and faculty member will be a participant in the United States' greatest effort. The albums, holding 50 10-cent stamps, will be sold for a dime with one stamp already mounted in every one. They are planned for fu- ture purchasers of Series E defense bonds, which mature in 10 yeais to $25 after an initial invest- ment of $18.75. The defense bond campaign is an emergency development of the government's postal savings plan in 1935. Up to 1941, Americans had placed nearly $4,000,000,000 with the government, the largest single investment in any security. But the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor has awak- ened further interest in America from Ameri- cans and the amount collected since that surprise raid is overwhelming testimony to its citizens' faith. The stamps which will be sold tomorrow rep- resent the smallest possible contribution to the war effort that any man or woman can make. Other stamps in 25-cent, 50-cent, $1 and $5 de- nominations also offer a quick and convenient way to exchange your current savings for defense bonds. N ITS BROAD ASPECTS, tomorrow's drive is designed to introduce the University of Mich- igan to the "savings habit." Ann Arbor stores will ask customers to "Take your change in de- fense stamps" while campus orgapizations will contribute individually in addition to their work in the Tag Day campaign. Adopted ,by the Federal government as the most fit syniboi for this defense-bond drive, the minute-man is a veicran of America's first great trial. At that time he made his stand with a flintlock and powder-horn, but his duties were relatively simple. Today he needs guns, tanks, planes, battleships, and production lines. It's up to you to see that he isn't forced to fight with a flintlock again. Dan Behrman LGTTCRS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: WITH the increasing number of college boys in army camps, university women are con- jecturing about the possibility of a "woman's world." Inasmuch as the educated logically are the leaders in this country, and the men will not return to colleges for a number of years, women will have an educational advantage. In spite of this (remote, I admit) possibility of a "woman's world," women students have not been accepting the responsibility that has necessarily been thrust upon them. In general, university women may be classified into three distinct groups, only one of which approaches the ideal. The first group is determined to "have one last fling," to forget all of the ugliness that is to come. These women want to marry the "boy next-door" before he goes away, and consider returning to school-perhaps. They feel strongly about the war, but they are inclined to drama- tize instead of acting constructively. Another group does not concern itself with the war effort. They do not listen to news broadcasts or interrupt their study for a blue- book to listen to President Roosevelt, because they are sublimely confident that we will win eventually, and that they can then be the leaders in a possible reconstruction. THE LAST GROUP most nearly approaches the ideal. They evidence an active interest in news developments without becoming hyster- ical or dramatic. They plan to study even harder than before and plan to enlist in defense training courses. Although they may never have to make a practical use of that first-aid train- ing, they will be much more content to stay in the miniature university world if they believe that they are actively aiding in the war effort. The university woman must realize that her actions should be motivated not by what she wants but by what the United States needs. If each of us thinks only of that wedding which must be postponed, America will not be able to present a strong, united front. It is quite possi- ble that women students will accept their re- sponsibility within a short period of time. Many were blindly patriotic at the outbreak of war, determined to leave school to become air-raid wardens. Now that the first shock has passed, many realize the importance of a sublimation in work and study, not only for the United States but also for themselves. -- Anonymous Coed A Contemptible Outrage FOR PURE unadulterated gall, 42 members of the United States Senate have set an all- time record even for that body, never altogether free from brash venality. With every man, woman and child in America being urged and forced where necessary, by law, to make sacrifices that we may win the war, with the youth of our land offering up their lives-these Senators take advantage of the people's concentration elsewhere to vote them- selves fat pensions! With the most disgraceful exhibition of legis- lative poltroonery ever written on our books by their trading with price bills and dodging of the inflation issue; with taxation soaring because of their selfishness and ignorance; with the people asked to bend their backs to a new load of a hundred billion dollars to save this Nation- all they can think of is the fattening of their own purses. They want a pension-and have voted for it- because they are "employees" of the Govern- ment!' SINCE WHEN did the Congress of the United States become employees of the Government? Have they played the role of White House bell hops so many years, begging for hand-outs, and trading what principles they pretend to possess for patronage, that they now consider themselves employees? Congress IS-or should be-the Government- one branch of it. Senators and Representatives are the representatives of the people and, there- fore, ARE the Government. This congressional pension racket has been attempted before but has been burned away each time by the white hot anger of an aroused people. But the racketeers are at it again, in the hope that the public mind and heart and soul must needs be elsewhere in this darkest hour of our national life. So grab while the grabbing is good! Compared to some, mjiembers of the United States Senate, Barabbas. was an. honest man. He did not pretend to be a statesman and a gentleman. The Detroit Free Press has reached Michigan. University professors will talk to soldiers in nearby army camps to make clear the reasons for' fighting. The second criticism is refuted when one ex- amines the list of University faculty members who will speak to the soldiers. They are Profes- sors Lawrence Preuss of the political science de- partment, Dwight Dummond, Howard Ehrmann, Robert MacDowell and Preston Slosson of the history department. These men are competent teachers whom students enjoy hearing. Super- ficial chauvinistic propaganda will not be used by these men. The results of the program will undoubtedly be greater understanding and clar- ity of purpose in fighting. Our soldiers will not only know how to fight but why they are fight- ing. We have watched the spread of the idea of The Reply Clwrlish by TOUCHSTONE am not addicted to press agenting for anyone, but like most of us I am passing fond of good hot music, and when there is a guy available not far away who plays same about as well as any headliner-who in fact is not a headliner entirely by his own free choice-I am glad to pass the word on, in the twin hope that he will make some money, which he rates, and that I may have a chance to sit somewhere around here and listen to him play some more. Some of you may have read mycolumn last year about Paul Hillman, the blind accordion player I heard in Adrian one week-end. I caught him there again last Saturday night, and this time he'll be there long enough for somebody around here to do something about it. Last year he was heading back to St. Louis, where his wife and kids live, and he didn't know for sure when he'd be back. Now he tells me he'll be in Adrian until about the middle of March, and that means he's available, and Paul being available means that instead of buying disks of schmaltz bands, the lovers of honest jazz in Ann Arbor can hear somebody who is in his own way the equal of Art Tatum. Hazel Scott, or Teddy Wilson any day of the week. DON'T KNOW for sure how these things happen. I can talk to the social chairman in my own house, and plug for Paul to play at one of the dances. But names mean a lot to social chairmen, and besides I'm afraid that if Paul played for a dance there wouldn't be any dancing-people would sit down on the floor and listen. Right enough, too. When I heard Tatum this fall in New York, playing a night spot job at Kelly's Stables, there wasn't even a Hill Auditorium cough to disturb the quiet. When a clientele which is for the most part. half-seas-over can keep from hiccuping or drop- ping a pin during an hour of fine piano work, that's music. Paul deserves the same treatment. He doesn't get it all the time at the Schoolcraft in Adrian, because of course there is no cover charge, and the beers are only a dime, and some of the Saturday night crowd like their Popo- catepeti, as my worthy confrere would say, but when Paul rides on Milenberg Joys, or Copen- hagen, or any of the numbers he calls pigeon- hole tunes, because when a band wants to find out just how good it is, it must take on one of those great standards as the test, the joint jumps, merchants and all. MAYBE a lot of what's good about Paul comes from that very self-chosen lack of big name in his makeup. During the day he carries his up along and plays on the streets of Adrian, but his wage rate per block would knock any union scale right on the head. His comments on the great swing musicians are mostly to the effect that success standardizes their product. He admires the best of them for what they were, and for what they could be if they didn't have a steady public that demanded a certain fixed type of stuff from them. Paul himself has chosen music as the important thing-he plays jazz the way it gets played only in joints, neverI in smart spots. There is no sorghum in Paul, but on the other hand there is none of that esoteric toughness affected by lesser lights. When finally the evening begins to taper off, Paul plays tunes for people to sing, and though he will rag anything schmaltzy earlier in the evening, he will sing along with the fat lady who has the fine soprano voice, the bar tenors, all the people who like to sing just before we all clear out and go home. A very healthy com- bination of artist and human being, Paul, and a fine person to know and listen to. Well, I can't just go on talking about him, because in the last run you can't write words that really tell anything about jazz, but I'd like to see him come here for awhile and play for us. He asked me what about street musicians, and I didn't know, I'd appreciate a letter from some- one in authority about that, and I'll pass it along to Paul. To the beer garden owners, I say you can't beat him as a draw card once the grapevine starts working. And to the social chairman I say his address is Paul Hillman, Accordionist, Schoolcraft Hotel, Adrian, Michi- gan. So long until soon. qli Drew Pearso RobertS Alleg WASHINGTON-Charles Augustus Lindbergh will remember for a long time his talk with Secretary of War Henry Stimson on the ques- tion of re-entering the Army. It was kind of an interview. When the America First champion wrote to Lt.-Gen. "Hap" Arnold, Army air chief, offering his services to the Army, he was very hopeful of regaining the colonelcy he had angrily dis- carded in the heat of his isolationist crusade. He wrote this letter, instead of formally applying for reinstatement of his commission, on the ad- vice of certain friends, some of them in the Air Corps. They counseled Lindbergh that he first feel out his prospects before going on record as ask- ing for a commission. THE TALK took place in Stimson's office, where the balding flier, hat in hand, sat across the desk from the veteran cabinet pmem= DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1942 VOL. LII.

Allegations that the armed forces do not know for what they are fighting are very frequent while, on the other hand when definite educational programs are begun, cries of "propaganda" and "indoctrination" are heard. American armies are not totally ignorant of h-e reasons why they reightinlg th i war. but
