By Candidates
Meadows, Lausche
To Run in November
By D. HAROLD OLIVER
Associated Press Staff Writer
Candidates leaning toward a fourth
term for President Roosevelt won
handily the Democratic governorship
nominations in West Virginia and
Ohio in Tuesday's primaries.
The winners were Circuit Judge
Clarence W. Meadows of Beckley in
the Mountain State and Mayor Frank
J. L.usche .of Cleveland in Ohio. In
November they will oppose Mayor D.
Boone Dawson of Charleston and
Mayor James Garfield Stewart of
Cincinnati, respectively.
Workers Support FDR
As thereturns were tabulated, Sid-
ney Hillman, chairman of the CIO
Political Action Committee, drew
cheers in Cleveland when he told the
Steelworkers Convention that Presi-
dent Roosevelt must be renominated
and reelected. He added that the
rank and file of the American Feder-
ation of Labor and independent rail-
road brotherhoods are cooperating
with his committee.
In the West Virginia voting, Judge
Meadows, a NewsDeal supporter, beat
38-year-old Rush D. Holt, former
"Aaby Senator" who bitterly opposed
Roosevelt policies while in Washing-
ton.
Dawson Defeats Millionaire
Mayor Dawson, backed by the State
GOP organization and United Mine
Workers, ran up a comfortable lead
with two-thirds of the vote counted
and his principal opponent, million-
aire industrialist Raymond J. Funk-
houser of Charleston, conceded late
yesterday.
Mayor Stewart of Cincinnati ap-
parently won a close contest for the
GOP gubnernatorial candidacy,

Ia., and resume law practice there,
upon the expiration of his term Dec.

Elects Six Members

Current Events,
Coming Activities
of the Michigan Union
Editor's Note In the interest of giv-
ing the student body adequate infor-
mation concerning the activities of the
Union, that organization, in coopera-
tion with the editors of The Daily, is
inaugurating this column of news re-
ports as gathered and edited in thej
Student Offices. It will also be our
purpose through this medium to give
the reader our opinions and policy on
decisive matters.
Friday Dance...
In view of the fact that Sawyer
and company will not be playing at
the League this Friday night, the
weekly record dance in the North
Lounge of the Union will last from
7:30 p.m. until midnight instead of
closing at the usual 10 p.m. Come
and dance to your favorite pieces.
Blood Bank . .
This is to serve as a reminder to
all those who signed to give blood
today and Friday. Please keep
your appoinitments and be prompt.
Valui le time is lost if you fail to
do either of these.
Since our quota was exceeded
again this month, it has been
doubled for the next so those of
you who haven't given for a while
watch for the registration dates.
Cooperation on the part of the
Army and Navy has been excellent
with most of this period's donors
coming from those groups and it
is hoped that the number set for
next month may be recruited from
the local civilian -males. How
about it you guys-?
Tag Day ..
We are working with the League
and The Daily to make the sale of
tags for the University Fresh Air
Cmp a big success. The annual
sale will take place tomoirow from
8 until 4 and when the girls ask you
to buy one, don't just smile and go
on-help us help the kids!
The Union men working on this
not heretofore mentioned are, Bob
Precious, Boyd Granger, Glen White,
Bill Theisner, Paul John, Dick Mixer,
John Ingham, Milton Budyk and
Sandy Perlis.
For Now ...
We'll close. From time to time we
will carry on what we consider to be
unbiased discussions of campus
events, rendering criticisms when
they are warranted and giving praise
where it is deserved. If you don't
like either our opinions, policy, or
this column, let us know.

Is Objective of Drive
The drive to collect $1,600 from
University students for the United
Jewish Appeal is proceeding satis-
factorily. according to Elise Zeme.
student director at'the Hillel Founda-
tion.
During the drive, which will last
until Tuesday, some 50 student soli-
citors situated in various leaguel
houses, sororities and dormitories,
will canvass Jewish students living
with them for contributions to help
meet the highest national quota,
$32,000,000, in the UJA's history.
Members of the Speakers Bureau,
directed by Stan Wallace, '44, presi-
dent of the Hillel Foundation, will
also aid the drive by visiting houses
where Jewish students reside to in-
form them of the work done by the
component agencies of the United
Jewish Appeal, the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee, the United Palestine
Appeal, the National Jewish Welfare
Board, the National Refugee Service
and the B'nai Brith Wider Scope
Committee. The national quota rep-
resents only the minimum require-
ment of these agencies, whose work
has been enlarged because of the
presentwar. The campus drive is
under the supervision of Henrietta
Browarsky, '44, and Audrey Ruben-
stein, '44, co-chairmen of the Uni-
versity UJA committee.
The general aims of the agencies
which will benefit from the UJA
drive are to rescue as many as pos-
sible of the Jews still in Nazi Europe,
the settling of these Jews in Pales-
tine, Canada and the United States,
and to aid in the rehabilitation of
C Jews in areas liberated by Allied
troops.

stitution.

ByARBARA HERRINTON
Dr. Manuel Gonzales-Montesinos,
professor of comparative literature
and public relations officer of the
National University of Mexico, said
in an interview yesterday that an in-
terchange of cultures is the true
means of obtaining benefits of the
good neighbor policy.
"In my opinion," he said, "the good
neighbor policy means better under-
standing between the United States
and my country. But we in Mexico
are far ahead of you in understand-
ing it because we have always been
interested in the United States-your
books, newspapers, movies, home pol-
itics and your foreign policy."
Open Minds Needed
To be friends, he said that we must
not take anything for granted and
not judge a foreign people by our own
standards, but approach the foreign
ways of a foreign people with an open
mind.
"Something which seems to be
wrong in the United States," he said,
"can be perfectly right in Mexico. A
different thing is not necessarily a
wrong thing."
"We are willing," he continued, "to
accept your teachings in industrial
and technical matters, but we do not
want to be coca cola-ized. You teach
us many things; perhaps we can
teach you some things as far as the
meaning of life is concerned."
He said that many Mexicans base
their opinions of the United States
on what they have seen of the large
e 27 Germans
whenever you hear noises in the
night.
So they just ignored all the moving
around and minded their own bus-
iness. Came the dawn and everyone
else was gone, but they knew the war
wasn't over yet even if it was 1944.
So they just stayed put, and pretty
soon a whole platoon of Germans
came slew-footing up alongside an
old farmhouse in front of them.
Now, four men and a machinegun
got no business picking trouble with
a whole platoon of Germans, which
is about 30, but Holona and com-
pany just opened up with a couple
of bursts to clear the dew out of
the barrel and started giving the
boys the business.
The Germans made a dive for the
house and most of them made it
inside where they started doping out
ways to eliminate the four men and
a machinegun. While they were grop-
ing, the quarrelsome quartet set the
trigger again and fired the farm
house with tracer bullets.1
The Germans goose-stepped right
back out and the machinegunners
cut loose at them again and there
they were; it was too hot inside with
that fire and too hot outside withl
those four.
So they surrendered, 27 of them,
including four who were pretty
badly wounded.
When the Germans found out the
whole thing was a mistake they
wanted to go back and start all over
again. But they didn't press the point
and so nothing ever came of it.

cities here, cities which may be un-
kind to foreigners, and that "for
many Americans, Mexico means bull
fights and' night clubs and perhaps
beautiful senoritas." Both of these
opinions, he said, are ircomplete, for
they do not include the true life and
culture of the countries.
French Influence Great
French influence, he explained, has
been grafted onto the Spanish tree
of culture in Mexico.
"For me and for many people," he
said, "French is the language of cul-
ture. It plays the part of Latin of
a few centuries ago. But for many
people, English is the more practical
language because of the United
States."
"On the other hand," he stated,
"many people are wrong if they think
that the present downfall of France
will last forever. I am quite sure that
French culture will develop itself be-
yond many people's expectations and
that France will play again the out-
standing part, as far as culture is
concerned."
