Trends well started before the beginning. of the present war indicated that more and more is the world turning to technology as a basis for living, and there can be no doubt but that the end of this war will see an even greater advnce by science, )N 7Y TOO OFTEN have engineers, been ac- cused of paying too much attention to tech- nical progress and too little to the effects of such progress on social and economic conditions.- An :uniderstanding of such relationships wil be- come of even greater necessity when industrial- ization is expanded after the war. Prtfessor Corey's panel, with its presenta- tion and discussion of some of these relation- " ships, cannot be too highly recommended. - Charles Thatcher RUSTLERS: Alanpower Corps Isn't Hibernating This Winter ARV BORD4AN'S hustling Manpower Corps deserves all they credit you can give them. They've made their organization hum right -from the beginning and their efficiency is so amazing that sometimes you wonder how students can get that way. Right now they're beginning a new drive on the home front after cleaning up the work on. farms and outlying areas, With sugar beet pick- ing, apple picling and all other similar chores' over with' the first snows, the Manpower Corps has turned its attention to the West Quad. THE CORPS has established an information. center in the West Quad to serve as a clearing house between workers and the corps. Three West Quad men answer all questions about the corps and sign up men who want to work. Borman's men have already completed a survey of every eating place in town and plan a campaign to keep them open by furnishing help. The corps will also help out at the tele- phone company. , What's more, twenty more tons of scrap have been salvaged since the scrap drive was terminated a few weeks ago, WOR like this we like to see. -Bob Mantho LOCAL TALENT: _ Band's Hard Work Made" Varsity Night A Success CHEERS for Prof. William D.

Some Americans were so pathetically ready to believe in the Marshal that they went soft and silly. The same softness, and the same silliness, have been made manifest with the news of the scuttling of the French fleet in Toulon. We are told that this act of suicide to cheat the executioner is a sign of rebirth. We are invited to admire fascists because they will not give everything, absolutely everything, to Hitler. See, the man gives his coat, he gives his vest, but he will not give his trousers! What a wonderful fellow he is. What grandeur of spirit! What nobility of soul! What rubbish! AND how slow and cautious he is, to inake up his mind. In the person of the Marshal, he waits until the Nazis are in Vichy, before he decides that he disapproves. (Then it turns out his disapproal is purely formal.) In the case of the French fleet, it waits until the German tanks are actually in Toulon, and then, forsooth, it sees the issue clear. With what magnificence they turn on Frenchmen 'the guns they nevei turned on Nazis! With what courage they sink the ships that never fought for the liberation of France! How brilliantly they commit suicide after having wasted two years full of chances to fight! And yet one commentator tells us he has it on inside information that Darlan is not so bad because months ago he was really considering working with us. Another commentator tells us that after this war we shall realize what a great man Petain is. I would advise both commentators to save their balanced judgments to cool their porridge. This war has no use for half-values, for tiny values, for grey values, for whimpering, whining values, nor for minds that need two years and a kick in the shins to make themselves up. OF WHAT USE to us would be a Yugoslav guer- rilla who would hold his head for two years, wondering: "Shall I fight? Or shall I not fight? Ah, life, life!" This is no Chekhov war. Even if we grant the possession of certain dim decencies to some of these pro-fascist creatures, that is impor- tant only to 'them, and.'their diaries, not to us' as a nation at war. It is of no account to us that some ofthese men may haye sat facing a wall for two years, in blue moods, balancing 'vestigal loyalties against present dangers, and trying to figure the best bargain,'as in a dis- cussion of a dowry. Some of them may really have worried! Well, what a wonderful thing that is! THIS is a serious war, and to ilions 'of people it has not allowed the 'luxury of prolonged meditation.. I will. give you one hairy peasant, full of lice, who scorched his house without a thought, as against all these perfumed ornaments of French fascism, who, par example, passed DREW PEARSON'S W MERRY-G0-ROUND WASHINGTON-The Nation may face a shortage of manpower, but here is some of the Army and Navy wastage which, seems to indi- cate that they have manpower to burn, Guards are kept on duty, day and night, in front of the dormitories in the Harvard Yard, Cambridge, Mass., to protect the young men now taking courses In naval science. These guards are trained fighting men, equipped with arms supposedly needed at the front. The students inside the dormitories presum- able are in no greater danger than their predecessors during more than a century of Harvard study. Parking lots for officers around Army-Navy buildings are guarded by young M.P. soldiers. Non-military departments of the government use older guards, veterans of the last war. The fall planting of grass seed around Bolling Field, Air Corps base for the capital, was done by uniformed enlisted men, who thought, when they joined the Air Corps, they might have some connection with airplanes. They were disap- pointed and disillusioned by this experience. At the same air field, a trained pharmacist, who has an advanced college degree in science, is being employed as an ambulance driver. A taxi driver could do the job Just as well. Naval yeomen carrying radio messages from one officer to another inside the Navy Depart- ment must wait thirty minutes to an hour, or even more, while each officer reads the message, confers with his associates, and acts. The yeo- man 'cannot come back later, he has to wait. Able-bodied and intelligent, sometimes they are able to deliver only three or four messages a day. The former president of an ordnance plant, now a private in the Army, is serving as care- taker at an officers' club at an Air Corps base. Many a handsome, uniformed Marine, who has joined the Marines to fight the war, finds himself stuck in the Navy Department building running errands or standing guard in doorways. Why interior guards of combat age are needed remains a puzzle, because no one can enter the building without a special pass. Civilian depart- ments use old World War veterans as guards. More Income Ceilngs One of the toughest tax problems before Con- gress is to decide whether or not there should be a $25,000 ceiling on all unearned incomes. Beginning Jan. 1, there is a ceiling on all sal- aries above $25;000, but 'there is, no provision permitting the President to limit .incomes from investments. Thus the man who makes his liv- ing throu4h a salary canmaeonly so. much. But the man whose family acumulated a for- tune, and who gets his money by clipping cou- pons,can receive just as much as before. Reason for this is the law passed by Con- gress last summer, giving the President the power to place a ceiling on salaries but not on unearned incomes. The law slipped through Congress partly by accident anyway. If some of the Old Guard senators had realized that the bill even went so far as to limit salaries, they never would have passed it. But when they asked Senator Pren- tiss Brown of Michigan, in charge of the bill, urhethr it. nrmitted the President to nlae a (Editor's Note: Here is the third in- stallment of Hoe Seltzer's yarns of his experiences on a convoy this summer. Seltzer is a former Daily sports night editor.) I am very glad we have not been held up.by. stop lights on our way up from Texas because that night between the hours of midnight and four the man on watch sees the horizon light up with a red glow on three different occasions and next morning we learn that Frit has scuttled another trio of tank- ers. One was loaded with high test gas and they never even find out where she sank because there is not even enough of her left floating to represent exhibit A. All they know is that she made the biggest fire. One of the others is still afloat and pouring out billows of black smoke as we ease past her around noon. We're loaded furll, the deck is a bare five feet above the waterline but traveling with the current and with the engines wide open we're making about 16 knots. With no layovers at night and by cutting a few corners off the westbound route we pull into a port, of call a full day ahead of schedule with no excite- ment other than that the second mate °takes offense at something the chief engineer says and hangs a right hook on him after first bouncing a water glass off. his fore- head. I am particularly sai about this incident because my job is serving the officers' meals and we are already low on that type of water glass. We stand by two days and while marking time I am strong- ly tempted to go in swimming. The water down in the Carib- bean is such that even a guy who can't swim wants to dive off into it. It's downright sirenic. Not: the deep indigo blue of theocean but a pastel shade of blue-green that comes of the sun's reflection off the white sandy bottom. As I say I am almost lured into taking a chance in spite of the tales I hear about barracudas but the sudden appearance of a sand' shark slashing through the garbage just dropped astern breaks the charm and I stay on board. One of the older seamen tells me the differ- ence between sharks and barracu- das. A shark will attack a man only when it is hungry. So will a barracuda. But a barracuda is al- ways hungry. On the trip up the Atlantic coast we are again commodore ship. This leg of the run is uncommonly dull with not even any rough weather to liven things up and the only anxi.- ety at all is occasioned when we ap- proach port on a foggy morning and I happen up on the bridge in search of a missing, coffee pot and I find the captain, the commodore and the first and second mates all engaged in a searching scrutiny of the hori- zon. I quip lightly -what'sthe mat- ter gentlemen are we lost and can immediately tell by the very dead eye which all four turn on me that we are. It seems there is a buoy which marks the entrance to the channel and it is this signpost which the boys are trying to pick up in their binoculars. Two days later Atlantic City is off the port bow and I commence to get channel fever. Only half a day from the end of the line. Once again we are so well escorted it takes almost all the fun out of the ride and the navy blimps swing so low over the ship that I can plainly see the men in the glass-enclosed1 gondola, From time to time we pass little sticks poking up out of the water and upon inquiry I learn that they are lobster pot markings. Later in the day I join many of my ship- mates on the port rail. They seem to be looking at a couple of these sticks. What's that, couple more lobster pots, I ask the old bucko _, THURSDAY, Dec. 3, 194 VOL.

I am so glad to hear that. So we make New York and get paid off and I like the ship so well that I sign on for another trip. This second run starts .out as a pretty calm affair because depth bombs are no longer a novelty and the only thing that occasions any anxiety is the fact that as we near the Cape Hatteras region the moon is in full phase and they are very beautiful, the nights with the broad beam of moonlight rippling on the calm sea, except that it sets up each and every ship like a lunch and after all this is no honeymoon cruise.
