GOODFELLOWS:
Campus Drive Gives
Yule Cheer to Needy
IF THE Christmas spirit which is so sparklingly
displayed in local shop windows means any-
thing to Ann Arbor residents, servicemen and
students, then those 350 coeds who will be selling
Goodfellow Dailies tomorrow should "go over the
top" of their $2,000 goal.
Like most drives, this one is for, a worthy
cause; the money collected will be used to pur-
echase clothes, food, Christmas baskets and
medical supplies for needy Ann Arbor fam-
1lies. Whatever remains of the total will be
placed in the Goodwill Fund and the Textbook
Lending Fund.
There are 27 campus organizations who think
enough of the Goodfellow Drive to donate their
time and energies to sell the papers; the least
we can do is to buy one.

AYD OPPOSED:
New 'Fascist' Group
Denounces Movement
UNDER the leadership of Rev. Harvey Spring-
er, one of our native fascists; a "new na-
tional youth organization" was launched Nov. 25
in Detroit. Formed expressly to oppose the na-
tional group, American Youth for Democracy,
the meeting opened its campaign by calling AYD
the "Young Communist League under a new
name."
AYD, organized nationally on October 17,
has dedicated itself "to all that is democratic,
Just and progressive." By distributing copies
of PM's pledge against race hatred and intol-
erance AYD has already begun taking action
on its principles. The Michigan AYD has
formed committees to work for the creation of
better recreational facilities in Detroit and
other congested areas to combat juvenile
delinquency.
A resolution urging that the Dies Committee
investigate the AYD has been adopted by
Springer's group formed in Detroit. But are the
men, Springer and his associates, valid critics?
Springer came to Detroit with the expressed
purpose of helping Gerald L. K. Smith's Amer-
ica First Party's campaign disrupt national
unity. At the Nov. 25 meeting, Springer de-
nounced the Roosevelt administration and the
Moscow Conference and made assaults upon
Negro, Jewish and Catholic groups. Springer has
long been known as a follower of Gerald B. Win-
rod, now under Federal Grand Jury indictment.
" WHEN Jack Raskin, executive-secretary of the
Civil Rights Federation in Detroit, called
Springer, he learned .that Henry Ford and his
friends are supporting the new group. Entire'
publicity for its opposition to AYD has been
through the "Times" and other Hearst papers.
The support of Hearst and of Ford, whose Dear-
born Independent of the 20's was violently anti-
Semitic, immediately brands the group as op-
posed to the American principles of liberty.
Yesterday's "Free Press" told of a complaint
by officers of the Wayne County CIO Council
that trea'sonable speeches were made at a meet-
ing in Pontiac Nov. 30 by Springer and Smith.
The complaint was referred to the FBI.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Secretary Ickes has
scraped up an old Colorado law under which he
is asking mine operators in Leadville to pay back
out of mine royalties $1,400,000, representing the
cost of a tunnel. The tunnel was a free gift
quietly voted by Congress.
One of the chief beneficiaries was Bernie
Baruch's close adviser, Fred Searles. Another
was DeWitt Smith, vice president of Searles'
Mining Company, and now vice president of
RFC's Metals Reserve. There is not a bit of
evidence that either was active in having
pushed the $1,400,000 taxpayers' gift to Lead-
Ville.
Back in 1933, Leadville interests applied for a
Public Works grant and loan to build a tunnel
under their mining properties to drain off the
water and facilitate mining lead and zinc. At
that time, they proposed repaying to the Gov-
ernment 75 percent of the project's cost. How-
ever, PWA Administrator Ickes didn't think the
project sound and refused.
Ten years later, Senators Johnson and Mil-
likin of Colorado, with Congressman Rockwell,
suddenly tacked a rider on an appropriations
bill providing $1,400,000 to dig the tunnel
which PWA previously turned down.
But this time, no provision was made for pay-
ing anything back to the Government.
Ickes Gets Thrifty ...
After Congress voted the money, it was up to
Secretary of the Interior Ickes to dig the
tunnel. It was the same project he had vetoed
ten years before, only this time the Govern-
ment was to spend all the money with no pro-
vision for repayment.
This made thrifty Harold sore. He imme-
diately went to equally thrifty Comptroller Gen-
eral Lindsay Warren, suggesting it was the prob-
able intent of Congress to provide for repayment,
even though not specified. Warren didn't re-
quire much egging. Enthusiastically, he agreed.
Terribly upset, Senators Johnson and Mil-
likin, plus Representative Rockwell, called at
the Interior Department, spent a total of six.
hours protesting vigorously. Ickes' reply was
that Congress had created the Comptroller
General as its own watchdog to keep an eye on
Executive expenditures. Since the Comp-
troller was their agent, he suggested they see
him.
They did. But with no luck. Their agent was
not obliging.

By SAMUEL GRAFTON
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The meeting at Cairo
was both a council of war and a conference on
the peace. The decisions taken by it as a council
of war have quite properly been kept secret. The
only decisions announced in the Cairo com-
munique are decisions on the peace.
We are told that Japan is to be thoroughly
whipped, and stripped of her spoils, even of such
ancient loot as Formosa and Korea. She will be
left her own island home, but all territories
acquired by her since 1914, even by legal man-
date, are to be cut from her.
THIS IS THE PEACE CONFERENCE
The meeting in Cairo might almost be consid-
ered a first meeting of that "Council of Asia"
whose formation Mr. Churchill suggested not so
long ago in a radio address. In which case, we
might consider the recent meeting at Moscow to
have been the first meeting of the "Council of
Europe," whose formation the Prime Minister
had also proposed in the same speech. And the
coming meeting, of Messrs. Roosevelt, Churchill,
Chiang Kai-shek and Stalin would then be a
combined grand meeting of both councils.
PEACE AS A CONTINUATION
It is difficult to realize, but it is true, that we
are actually legislating the future of the world
through four men. They are proceeding from
a definite operational method for war to a defin-
ite operational method for peace.
Maybe this is a case of Clausewitz upside
down. The German strategian considered war
to be "a continuation of politics by other
means." At Cairo we have a foreview of the
peace and its politics as a continuation of the
war, of the forces and the authorities which
are winning the war. The old formula doubles
back on the aggressors, and they will die of it.
Their powers, which seem so limitless, are in
reality sharply limited. Their decisions, so far,
are decisions to liberate, to set free, to return
and restore. They have decided to make Korea
an independent nation. Korea, and the world,
would welcome any agency which contributed to
that end, even the weather. In the unlikely and
absurd case that the three men at Cairo had
decided to, say, give Korea to Portugal, there
would have been a world-wide storm of protest
lonIlie Says
"GIVE ME none of your missiona'ries and cru-
saders," said the Accountant. He had in
mind the fact that where faith and zeal show in
one person, they invariably produce a social
menace. He specified "Teddy and F.D.R." as the
type. He is correct. Such men are creative and
troublesome, being self-starters and certain to
keep going. We need wait but three generations
to see the results of such dynamic spirits. In
the Euphrates Valley they were Jews. In Hol-
land they were Calvinists. In England they were
Puritans and in France. Huguenots. If you
examine men of the faith-zeal amalgam, you
will be apt to discover that their grandsons own
most of the banks, control the corporations
which the speaker likes to audit and perhaps
endowed the chair he occupies at the university.
Many sacred ideas were borrowed long ago by
commerce from those who keep that garden of
words called religion and ethics. Here is "guar-
antee," "value,"' "security," "fidelity," "worth"
and "goods." All emerged from the experience
of creative men who went afar in economics or
religion chasing wild dreams.
Or the remark may have referred to nothing
particular except the solidity of such things as
trust companies, investment houses, industrial
plants, mining companies, river franchises,
realty subdivisions, international contracts
and similar firms. Notice the words "firm"
meaning solid, "contracts" meaning to cement
good faith, "companies" signifying fellowship,
"plants" deriving from growing life, "invest"
ariving from to be clothed, etc. Today these
words which, according to the Accountant,
should have fallen dead on the first lips which
spoke them, are his symbols conveying ideas,
striking with the impact of a gong at times
and living among us with such usefulness that
no group can meet at lunch, teach a class,
transact a business or even go into a commit-
tee without them. In factory, field, market
and in the drawing rooms as well as from the
rostrum or in the laboratory, these symbols
carry the feelings and desires and wills just
because all during the history of our culture,
persons capable of high emotion, venturesome
action and explorative drive packed succinct
ideas into them.
The accountant never meant what he said.
Faith and zeal not only motivate men, turn the
defeated back to victory and leave an ordered
nation, but it is faith and zeal combined with
consistent action which give tone to the symbols
themselves. Such symbols convey value from
mind to mind and, therefore, the exchange mer-
chant, the banker and the trust company use
those words to Ain and hold their patrons.

THE REPUBLICAN and Southern Democrat
coalition has done it again.
All possibility of fair and equitable overseas
voting for soldiers was smashed by the Senate
Friday with the passage of a substitute to the
Green-Lucas bill, leaving control of the ser-
viceman vote in the hands of the individual
states.
Instead of the four-man commission advocated
by the bill, each state will decide for itself who
votes and how. This means that the poll tax
states whose senators were influential in putting
through the substitution will again be represent-
ed by a small fraction of the voting population.
All this so that men like McKellar of Ten-
nessee, .McClellan of Arkansas and Eastland
of Mississippi retain a chance for reelection.
All this so that the Republicans may again
feel they have thrown a monkey wrench at the
Administration.
Men denied the right to vote in a country for
which they are asked to die cannot help but feel
they are waging a useless battle.
-The Editorial Director
which would have nullified the decision. The
great, new powers which these heads of states
have assumed rest on the fact that they are
operating in an atmosphere of consent.
THE POWER TO SET FREE
Similarly, the power to free Austria, exercised
at Moscow, is not quite so awful as it appears.
Anybody has that power, who can do it.
The heads of states are operating by consent,
but they are operating. There actually is some-
thing new in the world. When we go from war
to peace, we need not go from force to forceless-
ness, from purpose to no purpose. All this is
strange, new governmental territory, somewhat
alarming by its very unfamiliarity. Butwho shall
say that the trip has not been a rewarding one,
so far, or unworthy of continuance? Maybe we
have built better than we knew; which is a not
unaccustomed product of our way of life.

On Your Own .. .
T LOOKS as if my letter on the
front page of Thursday's Daily
started at least some readers think-
ing.
I did not mean that I thought
it was the responsibility of the Un-
versity to hand the students a new
war program or a self-government
charter. It's not a question of
MORE freedom; it's a matter of
being a participant in the freedom
we have.
I threw the challenge into the ring
for University women who have the
courage and initiative to climb down
from the ivory tower to pick it up.
There are those who did. Someone
took the responsibility to suggest that
a list be prominently displayed of all
places that needed help.
The coeds who are conscientious,
serious about running the campus
more democratically won't wait for
speakers on bended knees or fer-
vent pleas from The Daily. The few
admirable ones that are doing war
work will go quietly ahead and do
more.
What I really meant was that I
hoped the University women would
defy them-all those who have said
that the situation is "regrettable, but
unavoidable"-show them by having
the courage to seize the initiative;
prove that they really believed the
battle for democracy worth fighting
for .I was hoping that everyone would
do WAR WORK, and do it on their
own,

War Work for Men ...
S LONG as you are jumping all
over our lazy Michigan coeds
who refuse to spend two hours per
week in war work, I might as well add
4-F men and freshmen males to the
list. What is their right to a compla-
cent, normgal student;.xistence ,simi-
lar, to the one you are blasting the
Michigan coed out of?
I say they have no such right!
They are fi bettr than your so-
called coed vlif still wrapped in a

college life! In fact, these men, espe-
cially those whom the Army or Navy
has discarded as unfit for combat
duty, should feel morally obligated to
do more than a normal share. They
can be of invaluable assistance be-
hind the scenes. It isn't their fault
that the 4-F tag has been hung on
them. But too many of these men
are attempting to live a pre-war col-
lege existence, smug in the knowledge
that the coed will take the verbal

how about our 200-odd fresh-
man men? Most of them have
enough money to pay for room and
board and incidental expenses. So,
they don't feel a bit obligated in
lending a helping hand, even
though they will wait hours for
meals because of a shortage of
help.
There are many freshmen who will
be going into the service before long.
Their natural reaction is to "eat,
drink and be merry for . . ." That
sort of philosophy was all right in
some cases, but it does not become
the college freshman who should co-
ordinate his education with aid in
the war effort. -Ed Zalenski

Student_ Tea: President and Mrs.,
Ruthven will be at home to students,
Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 8 from,
4 to 6 o'clock.
Instructions for Reporting Acci-
dents. It seems necessary again to
call attention to the necessity for re-
porting every accident immediately
on its occurrence. One or two unfor-
tunate situations have arisen re-
cently due to the failure of somebody,
whose duty it was, to make such a
report. Reports should be made in
accordance with the following in-
structions:
(1) Report AlluAccidents occur-
ring in line of duty involving any
person on the University payroll in.
whatever capacity, whether medical
care is required or not. Accidents:
should be reported in writing or by
telephone to the Business Office of,
the University Hospital (Hospital ex
tension 307). A supply of University;;
of Michigan accident report forms
(No. 3011) will be furnished on re-
quest by the Hospital Business Office.,
(2) Medical Care. Injuries re-
quiring medical care will be treated
only at the University Hospital. Em-
ployees receiving care elsewhere will
be responsible for the expense of such
treatment.- Whenever possible a
written report of any accident should
accompany the employee to the In-
formation Desk on the Main Floor of
the University Hospital. This report
will be authority for the Hospital to
render necessary medical care.
(3) Emergency Cases. Emergency
medical care will be given at the Hos-
pital without a written accident re-
port. Ambulancercases should be
taken directly to the Ambulance En-.
trance, at the rear of the Main Build-
ing of the University Hospital. In all'
such cases the written accident re-
port should be forwarded as promptly
as possible to the Business Office of
the Hospital.
The so-called Workmen's Compen-
sation law is fo the mutual protec-
tion of employer and employee. In
order to enjoy the privileges, provided
by the law all industrial accidents
must be reported promptly to the,
correct authorities. These reports
entitle each employee to compensa-
Lion for loss of time and free medi-
cal care as outlined in the law.
The Compensation Law covers any
industrial accident occurring while
an employee is engaged in the activi-
ties of his employment which results
in either a permanent or temporary
disability, or which might conceiv-
ably develop into a permanent or
temporary disability.
Further Information. If at any
time an employee wishes further in-
formation regarding any compensa-
tion case, he is urged to consult
either the Hospital Business Offie
or the Office of the Chief Resident
Physician at the Hospital, or the
Business Office of the University on
the Campus.
