DRAFT BILL:
Has Wrong Approach
To Educational Problem
T HE HOUSE DRAFT BILL provides, at
last, a specific policy on the Selective
Service status of college students, but it is cer-
tainly not an adequate solution to the education-
al'problem here..
The bill would defer all students until the end
of this academic year, but would grant no edu-
cational deferments after July 1, 1943. It looks
as though a standardized, uniform system which
gives equal treatment to all students is being es-
tablished, and at first, that looks like the right
answer..
The trouble with this approach is that the
most intelligent students-those who might
best serve as researchers and specialists now or
play important parts in the post-war world-
would be sent into basic military service along
with the less academically strong.
BRIG. GEN. M. G. WHITE of the General Staff
testified before the Senate Military Commit-
tee that the Army was developing plans for send-
Jng its brightest soldiers to college for technical
training. That solves part of the problem; it
will provide the specialists, chemists, engineers,
needed by the Army right now.
But there is no sense in forgetting that we are
fighting for a new world, the establishment of
which calls for men with training in political
science, economics, sociology, the making of value
judgments.
There will be and there should be, a sharp cur-
tailment in the liberal arts program, but that
does not mean the closing down of those schools.
This is the time for enough long range planning
to at least realize that every man should be used,
not so that he makes only the best contribution
which he can offer to the war effort, but so that
the best use of his talents is made in the overall
attempt to establish the kind of world we want.
The answer lies in a government program in
the social sciences paralleling the Army effort
in the technical schools. To make sure that
deferments are not granted to those who can
go to school because they have the money and
denied to those less well fixed financially there
should be governmental subsidies and loans to
exceptional students.
T HE $5,000,000 appropriated for student loans
last spring was just enough to meet half of
the requests of the universities, and those re-
quests were supposedly based on direct needs. The
money is being used for students majoring in
chemistry, engineering, physics and the technical
sciences and by forcing the receivers of those
loans to attend school summers when they ordin-
arily would be working makes it pretty hard for
them to get through school.
The appropriation should be increased until
there is enough money to keep our best students
in school.
Aptitude tests, constant check-ups would
make sure that the best students remained in
school, that we were developing a corps of
people who will be prepared for public service.
TRAINING these people needn't mean neglect-
ing the war effort and it doesn't mean get-
ting ready to plan a victory that we won't win. It
is simply a recognition of the fact that we are
out to wiii more than a military victory and
should plan and prepare in terms of more than
a military victory.
Russia and China are deferring students and
making great efforts to keep their universities
WAR RALLY:
Lackadaisical A ttitude
Of Students Changing?
THE "aw-what-the-hell" attitude of
the campus is starting to change.
Surprising evidence was the 4,000 turn-out at Hill
Auditorium Friday night to hear stocky Lieut.
Liudmila Pavlichenko. And the heartening thing
about it all was the cheering while Pavlichenko
barked out tough Russian talk that nobody un-
derstood.
Just what does that prove? Well, nothing. But
we'd like to think that somewhere in those
strange fighting words spoken by Pavlichenko
there was a common understanding. We'd like to
think that when she mentioned the word Fascist,
everybody understood a common enemy. We'd
like to think that when she said the word Stalin-
grad, the audience read into it the courage of the
people, the glory of the people, the decency of the
people. We hope it symbolized the ultimate dig-
nity of the people, too.
We don't think that any person came just to
touch her greatness. We don't think anybody
thought Pavlichenko was a spectacle, something
you ought to see. If anyone did, surely he must
have been ashamed when Pavlichenko admitted
that she used to wear her hair long-once.

Dominie Says
MENTAL HEALTH in a sick world has many
religious connotations.
"Neurosis is a substitute for legitimate suf-
fering," says Dr. Carl Jung in his lectures on
Psychology and Religion. The question is how
can a personality and its shadow live together
in peace and freedom? Before a maladjusted
person reaches the stage of neurosis, long before
in most cases, he will have had many oppor-
tunities to adjust unwelcome impulses, desires
and appetites. Since he has failed to make those
adjustments, there is a legitimate series of acts
or sufferings which he should have taken on.
Now neurosis is a substitute for those neglected
disciplinings.
In this we have a parable for our decade.
Repressed desires on the part of whole nations
have festered beneath the conscious life of the
people. Desires for directness in a fast-moving
complex and subtle society were systematically
checked," so to speak. Impulses to friendship,
impulses to honor, impulses to deal with insti-
tutions as with persons, impulses to put human
rights central in every consideration have been
set aside in the interest of secondary qualities
such as prestige, financial gain, earthly power,
dominance of man over man, and gain by strategy
rather than by merit. Had we moved more
slowly in appropriating the fabulous wealth on
the opening continents, attained reverence for
the eternal forces, many of whose powers were
unlocked by the scientific method, learned dis-
cretion, temperance, meekness and love in the
conduct of nations as well as families, this ter-
rific neurosis called world revolution might have
been averted. Such is the argument of the social
psychologist.
LEGITIMATE SUFFERING is treated many
places in literature, including the Old Testa-
ment. Dante in his Inferno is superb. Milton
is most instructive. Shakespeare entertains his

M4ERRY m 60O ROUND
By DREW PEARSON
THERE was more behind AFL President Bill
Green's Toronto statement, that the "chances
were brighter" for a reunion of the AFL and
CIO, than Green let on to newspapermen.
Inside fact is that when the AFL convention
opened, top officials of the two labor organiza-
tions at first were decidedly bearish about the
chances of getting together. Jurisdictional prob-
lems loomed too large.
Lewis Blustery
But what changed their minds, and led Green
to make his optimistic pronouncement, was John
L. Lewis' blustery withdrawal from the CIO.
When Lewis took the floor at his United Mine
Workers convention in Cincinnati and told the
miners that they were pulling out of the CIO, he
gave AFL-CIO peace prospects the greatest shot
in the arm since negotiations got under way two
years ago.
LEWIS' ACTION means much more than a sev-
erance from the CIO. It was a blunt challenge
to both the CIO and AFL that he was preparing
to launch (1) an all-out, blood-and-thunder raid
on their memberships; and (2) a campaign to
organize and consolidate, in the catch-all Dis-
trict 50 of the miners' union, all the independent
unions of the country.
Same Old Swashbuckler
There are about 1,000,000 independent union
workers, including telephone employees, typo-
graphers and numerous scattered groups of white
collar workers. With his flair for swashbuckling
leadership, Lewis conceivably could build up an
organization of 1,500,000 members, counting the
independents, plus AFL and CIO captives, plus
his own miners organization.
At any rate, that is his current plan. And AFL-
CIO leaders realize too well that his commando
activities against their unions will be made all
the easier if they continue on the outs.

On The War Rally:
To the Editor:
IT WAS PROBABLY the general understanding
that Friday night's mass meeting at which
Lieut. Pavlichenko spoke had two purposes:-to
do honor to the Russian people for their valiant
fighting in our common cause, and, especially, to
persuade everyone present to cooperate to the
full extent of his abilities in the war effort. The
rally was very well managed, but may I suggest
that there were just two little sour notes which,
it may be hoped, will not be repeated on future
occasions?
(1) It was not an occasion for advancing par-
tisan views on questions of military strategy. A
great many of us, without lacking in eagerness
for positive, energetic military action, believe
that President Roosevelt and the Allied military
leaders are in a better position to know when and
how the second front should be opened than
Wendell Willkie is.
(2) Asking the students present to repeat,
parrot-like, a statement read from the platform,
Students, College of Literature, Sci-
ence, and the Arts: No course may be
elected for credit after the end of the
third week. Saturday, October 24,
therefore, is the last date on which
new elections may be approved. The
willingness of an individual instruc-
tor to admit a student later does not
affect the operation of this rule.

SAMUEL
GRAF TON'S
P[d Rather Be Right
I put it to you that there is some-
thing disagreeable in writing about
the second front; I admit it. Yet to
do so is not the worst of human
activities. Last week, for example,
Senator "Cotton Ed" Smith of
South Carolina spent a number of
minutes questioning Mr. William
M. Jeffers, the rubber administra-
tor, on the chances of holding up
a program for using rayon in mili-
tary tires until experiments could
be conducted to show whether cot-
ton is as good. That would mean
a two to three months delay, for
the sake of the cotton states, or a
cotton Senator.
It seems to me that Cotton Ed
would have been better off, and so
would we all, if he had spent those
minutes talking about the second
front, instead.
So, you see, one can do worse
than talk about the second front.
There is also an over-riding con-
sideration: had Cotton Ed been ex-
cited about a second front he would
not have wanted to hold up our
production of military tires. He
would have wanted a lot of tires.
in a great hurry. Sometimes one's
arm grows weary, with pointing out
these connections, but they do ex-
ist, and someone must say so.
It Keeps You Out of Trouble
Yes, it is true, there is some-
thing disagreeable in talking about
a second front; for the essential
information is inside information.
Yet to do so keeps one out of mis-
chief, in remarkable fashion.
For you cannot talk second front
without talking world unity, which
is a healthy sort of line to take;
and you cannot talk against the
second frontnwithout rocking world
unity, at least a bit. One writer
who is anti-talking-about-second-
front came up recently with the ar-
gument that the Russians do not
help us enough; and one newspa-
_ --_:.T_ . -. ....+; treym +1'1 N -
experts by talking second front. Yet
let us suppose all amateurs in the
country agreed with that proposi-
tion, to the extent that they never
opened their mouths about the sec-
ond front. We can then see our
joint general staffers, Admiral
Leahy, General Marshall, Admiral
King and General Arnold, planning
their war strategy, which they all
say must be an offensive strategy,
and cupping their ears, as military
men do, to catch the drift of public
opinion.
They do not hear a sound. The
public is quiet. It just sits there,
as it has been told to do. Stalin-
grad is knocked down to rubble, the
Nazis creep nearer, the oil of Groz-
ny, the war looks worse, and the
American public has no opinion. It
won't say a word. It is mum. Its
attitude instructs the general staffs
that they alone are responsible for
planning what to do; they can de-
cide, either way; they can then take
the onus, for success or failure. It's
all theirs.
I submit that that would be cruel
and unusual treatment of a general
staff; that sometimes, in the dead
of night, the general staffs, carry-
ing their heavy responsibilities,
must be not unglad that at least
a portion of public opinion endorses
the taking of risks. And so the cur-
iously persistent healthiness of sec-
ond-front talk is manifested once
more, as contrasted with the lively
dangers lurking in the opposed po-
sition.
Question And Answer
If we are going to shelter the
general staffs from the disquieting
pleasure of public opinion, we
should go the whole way. What
must have gone on, inside the in-
sides of the general staffs, for ex-
ample, when Mr. Jeffers asked the
Senators: "Do I understand you
gentlemen to say to me that I am
to continue to hold up this pro-
