CHItAGO * OSTON - Los ANevLS - SAN FRANCISCO "I told the Mrs. she's not the only one that gets about." c P The WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By DREW PEARSON . . s f J"^ _ --;-= ____ ____ ___ ____ 't 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. (Copyright, 1943, United Features Synd.)

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?
