UJA Needs Funds
THE UNITED JEWISH APPEAL drive on cam-
pus already has been forced to continue an-
other week to meet the $1,600 campus quota, be-
cause the Jewish students on campus aren't
coming across.
Two million of their co-religionists have al-
ready been slaughtered by Hitler's armies. Two
million remain and face the same fate unless
something is done now to get them out of Europe.
The agencies comprising the United Jewish Ap-
peal can rescue some of Europe's Jews but it
needs money-this year $32,000,000 must be col-
lected from America's 4,500,000 Jews. Our quota
is pretty light in comparison.
When the student UJA solicitor asks your
support, contribute generously. If you don't,
who will? -Arthur Kraft
Employers Too
ON THE EVE of an invasion which most of us
realize will be greatly affected by the degree
of cooperation and unity we are able to bring
about here it is more than regrettable-it is fan-
tastic-that the recent foremen's strike could
take place.
The damage it did: Gen. Arnold, chief of the
Army Air Forces, said that it endangered the
lives of American airmen, that it "may even
affect our invasion operation," that it "so far
has cost the U.S. Army Air Force 250 P-51 air-
planes," 535,721 man days were lost, seven major
companies were involved, 14 plants were crippled,
3,300 foremen left their jobs and 72,000 men
were idle in Michigan.'
It is a black mark against both the Fore-
man's Association and their employers that it
took the threat of government action to end
the walkout. Americans here and overseas
cannot be expected to feel kindly toward either
of these groups for permitting disunity to
reach the proportions it did in this strike.
Considering the crucial time which they choose
to put their interests above all else-and un-
doubtedly both groups considered it carefully
-we cannot justify either.
Too often publicity on such matters is one-
sided. It was true in this case. Cartoons, head-
lines, commentaries and even the "unbiased"
news reports emphasize where the strikers were
wrong and the damage they did. We must real-
ize, however, that employers are equally respon-
sible for conditions leading to such a display.
They are not infallible.

Good Example
ANN ARBOR citizens have taken a large step
in recognizing the ability of the white and
Negro races to work together successfully.
The local Dunbar Association has as its con-
stitutional purpose the "betterment of the civic,
moral and social condition of the colored peo-
ple of Ann Arbor." Through their social pro-
gram, the members, both black and white, are
acco'mplishing that purpose.
Both Negroes and whites act as officers and
leaders of the association. It is not a haphazard
group forced together by circumstances. Rather
it is an organization of respected Ann Arbor
citizens who have fought for years to maintain
their ideal. If the outward impressions gathered
at its mortgage-burning ceremonies are correct,

PEARSON'S,
MERRY-GO-ROUND
WASHINGTON, May 18.-Those who knew
Martin Dies, Senior, were not at all surprised
when his son, the ebullient Congressman from
Texas, suddenly pulled out of the race for Con-
gress. Dies' father, who represented the same
Texas district in Congress from 1909 to 1919, did
almost the same thing. The elder Dies played
to the galleries, was a fiery figure in Congress
and rowed incessantly with Woodrow Wilson.
Then suddenly, he withdrew under fire and did
not choose to run again.
His son Martin, Junior, actually withdrew
not because of a throat ailment, but because,
as reported long ago in this column, he faced
a tough re-election race. It was not merely
the CIO-AFL combination against him in his
district and the attacks of Walter Winchell,
but also the fact that Judge J. M. Combs, his
opponent, is a sort of Sam Rayburn type of
fellow, neither radical nor conservative, knows
Texas from the T down, and is an event better
campaigner than Dies.
Also word had percolated round that the Dies
Committee maintained more than one paid em-
ploye in Dies' own district. This meant one of
two things: (1) that Dies was using his com-
mittee for patronage at home; or (Z that he
thought the home folks needed investigation for
un-American activities. Neither went down well
in Texas.
Reply to Dr. Kellems . . .
Dr. Jesse Kellems of Los Angeles, candidate for
Congress and brother of "Tax-Me-Not" Vivien,
has accused this columnist of being a chronic liar
in reporting that he was in favor of the poll
tax and that he was an isolationist.
In reply, may I suggest to Dr. Kellems that he
be more original. He might at least show some
of the ingenuity of Senator (No Hill-billy) Mc-
Kellar, who called me a revolving liar, an egre-
gious liar, a day and night liar and about 75
other kinds of names.
However, calling anyone a liar doesn't nec-
essarily prove anything. And there is docu-
mentary evidence that Dr. Kellems, speaking
in the Westwood Hills Congregational Church
before the Los Angeles League of Women Vot-
ers on Aug. 10, 1942, said that he favored the
poll tax. The chairman then questioned him
further regarding his own district, and Kellems
replied: "I am in favor of this for my own
district." He added that he wished it could
be about $25 and thus would eliminate a lot
of unintelligent voters.
Regarding Kellems' views on isolation, again
he is his own best witness. On April 14, 1944,
speaking in the campus YWCA Building of the
University of California, Los Angeles branch, he
said: "I have travelled all over the world. The
people of the world will not agree to any inter-
national tribunal. I am for America keeping
all her own economy and niot giving up one
I'd Rather
Be Bight
By ' antuel Grafton
NEW YORK, May 18.-I love to listen to cur-
rent discussions of what we are going to do with
Germany, because they are so cute. Our eyes are
sparkling, and our little noses are pushed flat
against the window, and we sound, sometimes, as
if we were trying to decide between a sticky na-
poleon and a handful of petits-fours. Are we
going to be hard on Germany, or easy on Ger-
many? "Hard!" says one. "Easy!" says an-
other. "So's your old man," says one.
So we pick and choose new Germany's, like
sakes off a tray. Shall it be chocolate and dis-
memberment, or vanilla and American schools?
We invent Germanys, we make new Germanys
up out of our own heads. We feel our pulse, to
determine if we are very angry at Germany,
medium angry, or .just barely angry. And the
question of our mood is important, because, nat-
urally, we shall concoct a different kind of Ger-
many if we are in a tizzy, or snit, than if we are
merely in a fret.
All of this choosing of moods and drawing
of blueprints is, of course, hopelessly unhistor-
ic. We have much too casually assumed that
it is our job to invent a new Germany. It
isn't. It is our job to wreck the old one, and
we ought to stick to our job. It is our job to
help destroy the German army, and to dis-
mantle the Nazi apparatus. If we do that job,
a new Germany is bound to come along, and it
is bound to be different from the old, and
better than the old. We must begin to think
of ourselves more as midwives, and less as gods.
If we were to think of ourselves as mere as-
sistants at a birth, our job would at once become
easier, much more manageable. It is only when
(like movie scientists in a Gothic laboratory on
the moor) we try to make a whole new Germany
out of stray parts, assorted arms and legs, that
we go tremulously into a kind of mental bank-
ruptcy, and produce unlovely things that nobody
seems to care for. Frankenstein always makes
monsters; he never made a pretty thing yet.
FQR WHAT HAPPENS? Stunned by the dif-
ficulty of inventing a new nation, we let the
word go out unofficially that thousands of sec-
ond and third-grade Nazis may have to be left
in their administrative jobs. The new Germany
begins, at this point, to smell like the old.
The only way to make a really new Germany
is, oddly enough, not to try to make one, but to
destroy the one' which now exists. It is our
duty to wreck the Nazi army, to see to it that not
a single German soldier remains under arms. It
is our duty to make the immediate exile, without
trials, of, say one hundred thousand top mem-
hers of the Nazi apparatus a condition of the
armistice. We might form several hundreds of
thousands of lesser Nazis into labor battalions,
and put them to sweeping up the continent. We
need a sanitary atmosphere in which the new
speck of her rights and economy to any inter-
national tribunal at any time."

of destroying the old Germany.
in order to get at the fascinating
problem of making a new Ger-
many. The result is a fuddle, in
which we neither make a new Ger-
many, nor destroy the old. We need
to accept the humble, but histor-
ically sound role of history's mid-
wife; we shall do better as assist-
ants at a birth than as second-rate
Svengalis, Pygmalions and Frank-
enstein s.
If we do not like the new Germany
that is produced, we can club it, and
bid the Germans to try again. It is
by pressing against our challenge
that the new Germany will be born.
It is stupid to argue over whether
we shall do the hard or soft. We
must do the necessary. Our chief
contribution to the new Germany is
the strictly limited job of eradica-
tion of the old. History doesn't
ask us to do what we can't do, but it
will not forgive us if we don't do
what we can.
