In fact, they were given some hope

That, however, was wrong. Real
fact is that fuel oil will be rationed
next winter.
OPA is about to announce amend-
ments of the regulations on ration-

they will be issued. Only change will
be that the paper work for handling
the ration permits will be greatly

DISGUISED AIM:
/
Connally Bill Is Threat
To Organized Workers
THE NEWS from Washington is that the House
Military Affairs Committee has approved the
Connally anti-strike bill, already passed by the
Senate. Yet the bill approved by the committee
21-0 is not the same bill. The bill approved by
the committee is the Smith anti-union bill in
disguise.
Representative Howard Smith of Virginia has
for the past five years been atteppting to ham-
string the activities of American.unions. He has
been determined to destroy the rights gained by
labor under the New Deal. Now under the guise
of the Connally bill, which with the amendments
introduced by pro-labor Senator Wagner of New
York, was primarily a bill directed against union
czars of the Lewis ilk, Smith has again put be-
fore the House his nefarious anti-union propos-
als-.
The Connally bill as passed by the Senate
prohibits strikes in government - operated in-
dustries such as the coal mines, and from all
indications could be effective only for the dur-
ation.
SMITH, however, has introduced into the bill
permanent features which would hamstring
the activities of union leaders. One of the worst
of the Smith additions is a section prohibiting
strikes from being taken until after a vote of the
workers involved. This provision is definitely
not for the duration. It is comparable to a con-
stitutional amendment providing for a national
referendum before going to war.
Smith, of the Smith and Cox team, defends
his proposals on the ground that there is a
need for greater democracy in the trade union
movement. And as long as John L. Lewis
exists this will be an undeniable fact. But the
way to democratize unions is not to make use-
less their only powerful weapon against the
employer, the strike.
The present bill before the House must either
be drastically amended or defeated outright. For
in its present form, it is a threat to every organ-
ised American worker. - Ed Podliashuk
SWAP PLAN:
Giraud-De Gaulle Unity
Scheme Is Hopeful Sin
THE LONG-WAGED BATTLE that has been
separating the French allies of the United
Nations appears to be approaching a satisfactory
conclusion with Giraud's proposals of unity to
De Gaulle.
Giraud's suggestions are, essentially, that
the two French leaders unite in alternate con-
trol over a general council and a smaller exec-
utive committee, with the military powers un-
der Giraud subordinated to the civil according
to French law,
If put into effect, this plan will solve the in-
evitable future bottleneck of the administration
in North Africa after the Germans are finally
cleaned out. Without the working out of this
or some similar agreement, the two major French
factions will continue to disagree among them-
selves with resultant confusion in the reorgani-
zation of French territories under Allied control.
Furthermore, unless the two French leaders


'Take it
OP Xteeit
By Jason

A FRESHMAN TRYOUT was being shown
around the complex and intricate offices of
The Michigan Daily.
"And of course," the sophomore who was
doing the explaining concluded, "you're judged
around here strictly on your ability."
I just happened to overhear their conversation
while I was trying to think of an idea for a col-
umn. It brought back a lot of memories (this
is near the end, now, for me, and it's nice to
reminisce about your freshman year and think
of yourself as old and cultured.) I remembered
my days as a Daily tryout, and how mighty and
almost legendary were the figures of Hervie
Haufler and Paul Chandler, the editors of those
days.
I thought back to the time when I was under
the impression that, around The Daily, you were
judged strictly on your ability.
- I remembered how disillusioned I'd been to
find out differently, and the bad taste that
newspaper politics left in my mouth.
FOR A WHILE, on this paper, you're just a
simple, uninitiated tryout. You read proof
with zeal, catching even punctuation mistakes.
When they say "anyone want to relieve- the
proofreader?" you jump up, always willing to
help.
Then you find out that there's more to a
newspaper than proofreading. You become a
fiend on writing headlines, and leave the boring
dirty work to poor suckers of tryouts.
About this time, you hear how last year's
Associate Editor got a raw deal. You don't
think much about it. But then you begin to
realize that, along about the Junior year, it
helps a Daily hopeful to have something be-
sides ability-namely, good, conservative poli-
tics.
You have two choices open to you. You can
look at the hours per day a Daily night editor
has to spend at the Publications Building-and
quit, as I did. Or, as last year's and this year's
editors have done, you can stick, and land the
good jobs in spite of your liberal politics.
I'm not saying that this year's editors aren't
the best there are-that wouldn't be true. The
same goes for Messrs. Swander, Mintz, and
Sapp. But I am saying that, while I've been
here, good men have got gypped in the nebu-
lous "best interests of the University." There's
a hazy smoke ring of politics around the Pub-
lications Building which, I think, is pretty un-
pleasant.
rfHE REASON for this situation is clewr. The
whole Daily set-up is a compromise.
On the one hand, you've got more conservative
faculty members (as individuals, I respect them
greatly-maybe they're right on this point,
though I don't think so) who recommend that,
in effect, The Daily become a propaganda sheet
for the University. They hope to see it become
big and "journalistic," staying, of course, primly
away from all controversial issues.
Then there are the students. To them The

Igod Rather
L Be Right
By SAMUEL GRAFTON -
NEW YORK, May 13.- The Germans are
talking of "destroying Greece" should the Allies
land there. , This is big talk. But the fearsome
ghosts who used to work for Hitler are tired.
The apocalytic visions refuse to rise again. The
Fuehrer waves his hand, but the thunder does
not roll.
Hitler has been crying out to Wotan for
months now, but the line is busy. The pagan
gods do not answer. The herrenvolk are being
beaten by a pick-up team of democratic lawyers
and life insurance agents, clerks and shipping
boys, auto mechanics and retail salesmen.
The wave of the future has been stabbed in
the belly by vacuum cleaner demonstrators
and sign-painters. Hitler's mystery of blood
and soil is being exposed for a fraud by armies
of aroused and mighty shopkeepers and book-
keepers, dentists and farmers.
The black cavaliers of disorder are running
like chickens before the storm. And in the cities
of Bizerte and Tunis, the union of humanity with
humanity takes place, as the plain people of
those towns strew flowers in the path of the plain
men who have come to rescue them.
He who communed on a peak in Berchtesgaden
with ghosts ten feet high and a yard wide is being
beaten by ordinary men, raised on bread and
butter.
All Holland is placed under martial law.
The threat is uttered- that not a stone will be
left standing on a stone in Greece, should we
come there. Liked a tired actor, speaking
without conviction, Hitler promises once more
that he will strike the mountains with his rod,
and then the flames will issue forth. And a
shipping clerk laughs..
The wearers of the shiny boots and the whip-
cord breeches are hiding in the ruined cellars of
Africa, and lumpy youths who used to take their
girls to the Roxy of a Saturday night are telling
them to come on the hell out of there.
Der Fuehrer swears to them that he hangs
his hat on a lightning flash, that he writes his
orders on Jove's back, but they are unimpressed.
He used to stamp his foot, and the world would
see visions of millions of faceless men marching
ever outward, and heaps of skulls reaching to the
sky, on a great flat classic plain on which all
the shadows were red. But he does it again,
today, and no visions come; he is only an angry
man in a room.
Thus are we bringing the Germans back into
the fold of humanity. We are clearing their
eyes. The see now that when the shells fall
on their generals, their generals surrender.
When their armies tumble into the water, no
miracle happens. They sink. We are giving
the necessary first lessons to the people of
Germany that all mankind is one and alike.
We can love them later.
Der Fuehrer raises his awful hand, but New-
ton's laws of action and reaction are undis-
turbed; the bullet does not stop. And Greece will
not be destroyed. The Nazis will make a few
more loud noises in that country which has
heard so much; then there will be silence again,
and terror running home, just another fright-
