The WASHINGTON
MERRY-GO-ROUND

WASHINGTON-It was hushed up
inside Congress, but the one Negro
Congressman in the House of Repre-
sentatives has been barred from the
Committee on Post Office and Post
Roads.
The Congressman is William Daw-
son, Democrat, from Chicago's first
district. Dawson defeated Arthur
Mitchell, Democrat, the one Negro
Congressman in the last Congress.
Mitchell, who had many friends in
Congress, was a member of the Post
Office and Post Roads Committee,
from which Dawson is now barred.
So it is claimed that race prejudice
is not involved. However, it looks as
if Congressman Dawson might have
a harder time than his predecessor.
Here is what happened:
The Kelly-Nash machine in Chi-
cago, which elected Congressman
Dawson, asked that he replace Mitch-
ell on the Post Office Committee.
There were six vacancies on the com-
mittee and eight candidates. Dawson
ran eighth in the voting, so failed to
qualify.
However, his Kelly-Nash friends
asked that Dawson's name be sulk-
mitted again, and Representative
Dingell of Michigan took the matter
up with Representative Thomas G.
Burch of Virginia, chairman of the
Post Office Committee. Burch said
that one Congressman from Illinois,
Noah Mason, Republican, was already
on the Committee.
Meanwhile, an incident occurred
which made several Southern mem-
bers of the Post Office Committee,
hit the ceiling. A Negro lobbyist,
Edgar Brown, representative of the
United Government Employees Un-
ion, contacted Chairman Burch
and other members of the Com-
mittee. According to them, he pro-
ceeded to lay down the law and
demand that Dawson be placed on
the Committee, hinting reprisal at
election time.
This ended the matter. Several
members of the Committee threat-
ened to resign if Dawson were ap-
pointed, and as a compromise he was
shunted to the Insular Affairs Com-
mittee, headed by Joe L. Smith of
West Virginia.
Pinochle Lend-Lease
Thanks to Yankee ingenuity and
"reciprocal" lend-lease from the
British, our troops in England will
be able to keep up with two of their
favorite card games-poker and
pinochle.
Army morale officers recently were
in a dither about a shortage of poker
chips in A.E.F. camps in England.
The British don't play poker, and it
was impossible to buy chips anywhere
in the 'Isles. However, the problem
finally was solved by the troops them-
selves, who turned their spare change
into British farthings (equal to half
an American cent).
The farthings have proved a good
substitute for chips and cost U.S.
soldiers nothing extra for their poker
enjoyment.

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN
STUDENT APATHY:
Manpower Corps Calls
'U' Men for Vital Job
- ITICS of liberal education in wartime can
point to the Manpower Corps registration Fri-
dtr as a strong argument on their side.
Prominent advance publicity stressing the ur-
gent need for all-campus cooperation and enu-
merating the important home front projects
planned by the Corps met with almost complete
student apathy. Approximately 50 men regis-
tered on Friday, registration day for the general
campus. (Fraternity registration figures are not
yet available.)
The' alling up of the Air Corps and the gen-
eral atmosphere of uncertainty and restlessness
greated by the disintegration of normal college'
life have been offered as an explanation of the
deplorably small turnout.
BUT such an explanation misses the point com-
pletely. It merely explains why those affected
by the call-less than 200 out of a total of over
4,500 male students-could not be expected to
sign up.,
For that vast majority of students not af-
fected by the Air Corps call, the effect of the
Army announcenent should have been just the
opposite It should have made them doubly
aware of their responsibility toward helping
the war effort while still being allowed to stay
in school.
The Manpower Corps has a very important job
to do-they have worked hard to make arrange-
ments for helping on the home front in every
way possible. But obviously it will be impossible
for any plans to be carried out if there are no
men to do the work
Right now there are' several jobs that
should be tackled immediately but which can-
not be attempted without a fartgreater number
of registrants. The Manpowei- Corps adminis-
trative staff is making plans for such projects
as establishing a recreation center for the
children of war workers in the Ypsilanti area,
making vital war parts on campus in conjunc-
tion with the Building and Grounds Depart-
ment, supplying the University Hospital with'
badly needed orderlies and furnishing labor
for Michigan farms in the spring.
THERE will be another registration day soon.
If you haven't already signed up, don't fail
to do so then. - Irving Jaffe
TRUE FACTS?
Clothes Rationing Issue
Is Example of Bungling
THE WMC and the WPB missed their oppor-
tunity to cooperate this week concerning an-
nouncements on the clothing situation in the
"country.
On the basis of a WMC estimate that demands
of the armed services and war plants would mean
a loss this year of 3,200,000 workers from less
essential civilian industries," Donald M. Nelson,
head of the WPB, was reported as having said
to a Senate investigating committee that, if the
estimate were correct, clothing rationing would
be necessary.
The announcement was made without first
checking the estimate, and people, fearful of a
clothing shortage, began to buy abnormal
amounts of wearing apparel. The Detroit area
alone reported a serious drain on stocks from one
week's buying.@
This premature announcement has done more
to cause a need for clothing rationing than any
EIGHT LONG YEARS:
China's Patience Wears
Thin as America Waits
THE CHINESE are known for their patience.
They waited eight long years for us to stop
furnishing Japan with the materials to conquer
China; they waited ten decades for us to relin-
quish our claims of extraterritoriality; they have
waited 14 months for their war ally to send them
help; they are waiting now.
China will wait as long as she can, which will
be to the last gun, the last round of ammuni-
tion, and the last man. Since Burma fell the
supplies China has received have dwindled to
almost nothing. The only supplies she gets are
a very small amount by air frorip India.
We spent six months and untold numbers of
men and equipment to take New Guinea, and
when China calls desperately for 50 planes we
can't send them. We may have big plans for
helping China in the future, after we defeat
Hitler and take a few more islands in the Pacific,
but now is when China needs the help. One
plane today may be worth 50 next year, because
by next year the armies of China may be pushed
back to the hills and to positions where they will
hot be able to receive or use the help we can send.
WITH OUR HELP China can be the Russia of
the East. - -Charles Bernstein
Domfinfic Says
HOW CERTAIN is man to reach his destiny?
By destiny, we mean the fore-ordained future,
the legitimate outcome of his capacities. Being
last in the long series of organisms, man as an
animal is more fragile than his kinsmen; hence,
as an incident in the long series he will arrive
only in case the optimist's vie can ,hold. But
man is not simply the upward thrust of life. He
is that and more. In man, life has come to con-
sciousness and risen through consciousness to a
certain type of mastery.
Of what is this mastery compounded? Religion
insists that life itself is an expression of the
interested God. Religion holds that from the
beginning, or prior to observable beginning, being
is. We say not was, for that would date the Being
who transcends time. Rather, religion says God
is. If that insistence of religion be true, then
man will reach his destiny, attain the ultimate
of *his capacities and arrive when he relates his
aspiration, hope and struggle to God. This is
embodied in the idea of prayer, worship, thought
and behavior. On man's side, prayer is first a
cry out of necessity to ultimate being, to the
uni erse of which God is the soul. In this he
offers a response to the feeling that the soul can,
should and will answer. Conversely, God, to the
man of faith who prays, is the essential reality
longing to lead man along the way of Godlike-
ness. When Jesus called God "Our Father," he
seemed to have been teaching this truth. That is,
God by nature loves His children. In worship
plus ethical appreciation and practice, they truly
respond to him.
IN OUR AGE in this naturalistic period, when
man by observation and verification with a
repetition of effort after effort tries hard to know
himself, an egoism steals in on him and tends
to cut short his reach. In the very act of know-
ing, man runs the danger of becoming distorted
by conceit. It is at this point that religion clears
the air by placing man in the stream of life, an
effect of which God is the cause. As creature, man
at worship is in true perspective. Keplar identified
I'd Rather
Be Right_
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
NEW YORK-Clare Boothe's post-war world
has an awful lot of airplanes in it. Everywhere
you look, airplanes; airplanes shuttling back and
forth, and America in control of the skies, and
England of the seas. That is (in part) her vision
of the future, and she invents the word
"globaloiey" to describe some of Mr. Henry Wal-
lace's global dreams of milk for everybody. Some-
how, to me, the picture of a mother feeding milk
to her child, milk pure and plenty, seems rather
less globalonious than the 2,000 horsepower future
as dreamed up by Miss Boothe.
However, I am not prepared to choose be-
tween Miss Boothe's airplanes and Mr. Wal-
lace's milk as the best prescription for 1949.
Pinching myself smartly on both cheeks, I come
forward with .a third position, to wit: Why
don't both of you, my braves, stop escaping to
the future and tell us what' we ought to do
right now, in 1943?
AIRPLANES VS. MILK
Neither Miss Boothe's airplanes nor Mr. Wal-
lace's milk are going to mean very much in 1949,
unless we make 1943 mean more than it means at
present. Right now 1943 is jibbering. Its lips
move in North Africa, but they are not forming
intelligible words. It is grunting a kind of elab-
orate "no" to China. It is confirming the Indians
in a policy of violence, a policy imposed on them.
Where 1943 does speak clearly, it says in hollow
tones that it. intends Hong Kong to be British
forever, and the East Indies Dutch ditto.
The entire war-aims debate has taken a turn
for the worse. It is developing.middle-age spread.
The isolationist press is beginning to talk frankly
about securing "victory's spoils." To Clare Boothe
goes the doubtful honor of owning the first Con-
gressioial voice to launch a campaign of imperi-'
alist rivalry with Britain, over the question of
who shall dominate the air. She makes it a ques-
tion of whether we shall control our own airfields,
but that is obscurantism; every child knows we
shall control our own airfields; to dominate the
airways we should have to control foreign air-
ports, and no program could lead straighter to
war than Miss Boothe's.
UP IN THE AIR SO HIGH
Meanwhile, the better spokesmen for war aims,
too close to the administration for their own good,
have been compromised by every administration
compromise. They are now crowded back into a
sterile, dreamy 1949. They are staring, with
frightened eyes, over a stockade of years, at the
incredible present. And while Miss Boothe pro-
poses that we ride high above the probable
miseries of 1949 in our air fleets, and while Mr.
Wallace bids us get down among them with our
milk, here is 1943, which chatters, through click-
ing teeth, that we have no plans at all.
ONE YEAR AT A TIME
That is what 1943 is saying, if it says anything,
but I refuse to leave it for the sunnier pastures of
1949. I am stuck in 1943, and I intend to stay
there; I won't budge out of it, until 1944, of
course; a year to which I shall be equally partial
when it arrives.
Don't we know what's going on in the world?
That Chiang Kai-shek's administration, for ex-
ample, is under great pressure, both economic and
political; that he is sitting on top of a galloping
