SPRING IS HERE:
Student Body Urged To
'Give Grass a Chance'
PJHROUGHOUT the past few semesters the
campus has become increasingly rutted with
heterogenuous paths zigzagging in all directions.
University authorities Have issued plea after plea
in an effort to keep the trampling feet of stu-
dents within the limit of sidewalks but apparent-
ly to little avail.
No one can have failed to notice that the
grass which once covered the Diagonal is be-
coming more and more sparse all the time. Now
that spring is generally conceded to have ar-
rived, the struggling grass will have a fighting
chance-but only if we, the student body, keep
off it.
The temptation to take a shortcut is sometimes
almost irresistible, but the saving of a minute's
time is hardly worth the detriment to the ap-
pearance of the campus. Moreover, the side-
walks, in most instances, have been generously
and logically constructed.
So this spring, let's give the grass a chance.

MUST READING:
Workers' History Told
In Labadie Collection
IN THIS period of history, when the people are
doing the real fighting against fascism on all
the war fronts of the world, it is well to know
who the people are, where they came from, what
they, are thinking.-
It is the people of Yugoslavia who chose Tito
fore their leader, who are now defeating the
Nazis. It is the people of Italy who are demand-
ing that Badoglio and Victor Emmanuel, fas-
cists, be ousted from the government, and that
they be replaced with democratically elected
representatives.
It is the people of China who have been fight-
ing these many years against the tyranny of
JapIanese aggression; it is they who originally
forced Chiang Kai Shek to stop his internal war
against the Chinese Communists in order to
concentrate against Japan. The people of Spain
fought to preserve democracy, and to show the
rest of the world the true nature of fascism.
The people of the Soviet Union are working,
fighting,-dying to defend their country and their
social system. So with the peoples of Great
Britain, South American, the United States.
For this reason, the current Library display
taken from the Ladadie Collection is of par-
ticular importance. At this time, when mil-
lions of trade unionists are serving in the
armed forces of the United States, and millions
of trade unionists are serving in the nation's
factories; when Labor has temporarily given
up its nly effective weapon-the right to
strike-in the interest of national unity .. .
1944 is a good time for all of us to learn
WHAT Labor has fought for, and will go on
fighting for after the war.
The Labadie Collection, on the eighth floor of
the General Library, tells the story of the strug-
gles of American workers, for the eight-hour

'G.I.RIGH TS':
Legi on Ve tran Plan
T HE LEGION has come through and proposed
an admirable "G.I. Bill of Rights," which is
to come up in the Senate this week. Already
81 Senators hake announced that they plan to
back it and the Senate Finance Committee has
stated that it "represents the very least that
should be done at this time."
The plan and the Committee's praise of the
plan both are evidences of far more practical
thinking on the subject than was shown in
previously proposed bonus measurers. The flat
bonuses suggested by Senate and House con-
ferees and the bonuses based on a rate of
$3 a day for service in the stats and $4 a
day for service overseas, which were Proposed
by five other veterans' organizations, went only
half way. They would be better than noth-
ing, but such aid would be too temporary to
be of real value.
The Legion plan ensures basic and longer
lasting aid for the veterans. It provides for fed-
erally financed education or vocational training,
for loans up to $1,000 for the purchase of homes,
farms or small businesses and for credit in the
form of special unemployment compensation for
time spent in service. In this way the veterans
would not have it easy for a month or so and
then wonder what to do with themselves.
The cost of such a plan is estimated at $3,000,-
000,000. But, "We view it as true economy, the
best money that can be spent for, the future
welfare of the nation," the Committee wisely
states.
By not considering the proposal as a final
settlement, the Committee has left the way
open for whatever further benefits might be
expedient.
It is to be hoped that the Senate will consider
this plan carefully, not in the light of political
considerations, but in view of what would be
of most value to the veterans and to the coun-
try, and that they will agree on measures which{
will ensure at least some degree of stability.

PEARSON'S cri
MERRY-GO-ROUND
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The President has
had what Louis Howe used to describe at "the
old'Dutch up" against General de Gaulle and the
Army's plan for using him in the liberation of
France. For two months the plan lay on the
President's desk while he delayed in acting on it.
In January this column reported that Gen-
eral Eisenhower had completely revamped any
earlier ideas about de Gaulle, had found that
he was overwhelmingly popular inside France
and that, when the second front invasion came,
the Allied Aries would get more support in-
side France if it was known in advance that
they were cooperating 100 per cent with Gen-
eral de Gaulle.
Accordingly, a plan was worked out whereby
immediate French elections and other political
matters would be under de Gaulle's Committee
of National Liberation when and if France was
invaded.
Note-The President has now finally ruled
against a firm handclasp to de Gaulle and
decided in effect that General Eisenhower, not
de Gaule, should handle political questions
when and if he invades France.
Rickenbacker on Rwssia . . .
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker did some bare-
knuckled sermonizing about the attitude of the
average American toward Russia during a con-
fidential talk on Capitol Hill the other night.
Addressing a closed-door meeting of the "76th
Club" (third-term Republican Congressmen),
the World War I ace declared that the minds
of most Americans were cluttered up with "too
much propaganda and too little real informa-
tion about our Soviet allies."
Rickenbacker, who recently returned from a
War Department sponsored tour of the battle
fronts, also got in a few political licks against
the New Deal, plus some kudos for his friend,
Lt. Gen. George Patton.
"The trouble with our thinking about Russia
is that we are 20 years behind the times," Rick-
enbacker asserted.
Actually, the Soviet Government is encour-
aging greater respect for family life, he said,
and the employment of women in war factories
is only a temporary expedient that has not in-
terfered with their duties in the home."
During the earlier Finnish campaign, every
Russian general had a political commissar be-
side him, Rickenbacker said, with the result
that military discipline suffered. llowever,
since the withdrawal of the political comis-
sars, there has been a marked improvement in
the efficiency and morale of the army.
It required little coaxing by his GOP listeners
to elicit Rickenbacker's views on the New Deal.
Rickenbacker, a rock-ribbed conservative fre-
quently criticized for his anti-labor utterances,
also declared that American business itself was
partly responsible for "all this regimentation" by
Washington.
"American business men should come out of
their foxholes and fight for their rights," he
declared hotly, amid loud applause from his Re-
publican audience.

Removed from the City or off Uni-

advance to the Inventory Clerk, Bus-
iness Office, University Hall, when
such property is to be taken outside
the City of Ann Arbor or off Univer-
sity property for use in any Univer-
sity project. A loss recently occurred
on which the University had no in-
surance because of the fact that no
notice had been given to the Inven-
tory Clerk that such property had
been taken to the' location where it
was in use, and the property was
therefore not covered by the insur-
ance policy. Shirley W. Smith

Groceries and Freedom. .
An ASTP cadet asked Stuart Chase
after a lecture if he hadn't better
reconsider his statement that Ameri-
cans want groceries first and free-
dom second. Chase replied that the
law of survival still held. Both Chase
and the cadet were right, for they
were talking about different free-
doms. Chase meant economic free-
domn; the cadet, political freedom.{
We are sure Chase meant only1
that we, as American citizens, are
willing to let the government direct
our economic system to eliminate
unemployment and depressions.
The cadet questioned, and rightly
so, the wisdom of Chase's statement.
Economists tell us that the system of
free enterprise, contrary to the opin-
ion of businessmen, is no longer
effective in preventing economic
troubles. No one has told us, and no
one dares tell us, that the Bill of
Rights and the Constitution are out-
dated. -Indiana Daily Student

To the Editor:
Miss Fitch's editorial on the "De-
struction of historical treasures" is
all right as far as it goes. But it does
not go far enough. Let us get some
cheer out of all this. There is likely
to be more devastation. But much
has been saved, and a large part of
the credit for that should go to the
American connoisseurs who have
been bringing rare books and art
treasures from Europe to America in
the last hundred years.
Long before this war started the
Pierpont Morgans, consciously, con-
sistently, and systematically began
moving such treasures across the
Atlantic. There are quantities of
them within a quarter mile of the
Student Publications Building. There
is no use wringing our hands about
what the Army has to do. But we
could do worse than devote some
thought to the intelligence, purpose
and foresight of Americans who saw
this thing coming. More than fifteen
years ago there was a shipment of
such treasures from Chancery Lane,
London, to this campus. At the time
the University Regent who was re-
sponsible remarked that these treas-
ures wouldbe safer in America. Brit-
ishi officials who participated iA the
deal were wistful, but they agreed-
quite sincerely. There has been a
good deal of bombing around Chan-
cery Lane.

11URRAH! THE WAR

WILL BE OVER IN
No, I am not prognosticating. That little de-
tail I left to Henry Ford of Dearborn.
Newsmen caught him in Georgia Monday
and he made his statement to the press, and
in true Ford style gave no reasons.
I wouldn't advise cashing in your war bonds
or betting enormous sums, but then Mr. Ford
is an authority, according to him.
If he is right, it will be a million to one
lucky guess. If he is wrong (and I would
be the last one to say it), it won't be unusual.
