Russians Believed 'Hedging'

on Post-War Peace Planning

Dual Soviet

I t

Foreign Policy
Takes Shape
Reds Regard Allied
Plans Unessential to
Own Future Program
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-Through
the tangle of speculation on Mos-
cow's motives for publishing the
"British separate peace" rumor, the
rough outlines of a dual Russian
foreign policy appear to be taking
shape.
In the absence of full explanation
from Moscow this policy may be re-
garded as designed to protect Rus-
sia's interests either in the event that
post-war international collaboration
works out-or in case it fails. In
other words, the Russians appear to
be hedging their bets on post-war
security. I
In official Washington quarters
the news that Pravda had published
the Cairo rumor, hit with explosive
force.
For Washington had assumed that
the Moscow agreements last fall and
the more recent discussions among
Premier Stalin, President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill at Te-
heran had largely dispelled suspi-
cions and increased mutual faith be-
tween the Anglo-Americans and the
Russians,
Reaction here clearly implied that
Washington may have erred in as-
suming that the Moscow and Teher-
an meetings settled any questions
other than those actually covered in
the agreements.
The Soviet government is reputed
to be wholly realistic in its foreign
blicy, operating on the theory that
ihile one course may be more desir-
able than others it may eventually
prove impossible to follow.
Changes in
JAG Staff Are
Announced
'Members of School
Assigned New Duties
Tbree members of the staff and
fculty of the Jude Advocate Gen-
eial's School'left recently to take up
new assignments, Col. Edward H.
Young, commandant, announced yes-
terday.
These men are Lt. Col. Herbert M.
Kidner, Lt. Col. Edward J. Burke, and
Lt. Kkk Jeffrey.
Col. Kidner was ordered to report
at the Judge Advocate General's Of-
fice, Washington, D.C. He was a
member of the original staff and
faculty when the school was establish-
ed at The National University Law
School, Washington, D.C., and head
of the Military Justice Department
since that time.
In his new assignment Col. Burke
will be staff judge advocate with an
Army unit. Although he was not on
the original staff and faculty, Col.
Burke has a longer tenure with the
staff and faculty than any other
members with the exception of Col.
Young and Col. Kidner. Assigned to
the school in 1942 as a major, Col.
Burke has been Executive Officer and
instructor since that time. He was
promoted to his present rank in Oc-
tober 1942.
While at West Point, Col. Burke
was prominent in athletics, playing
football for three years, and being a
member of the track team for two
years. Since graduation he has tak-
en part in football, track, and base-
ball as player, coach and official.
Lt. Jeffrey has left to attend the
Command and General Staff School,
Fort Leavenworth, Kan. A member

of the 1st OC class, he was retained
as a member of the staff and faculty
upon graduation in August 1943, and
assigned to the Military Science and
Tactics Department as an instructor.

VU Band Will
Present First
Concert Feb. 13
The University concert band will
present its first program at 3:15 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 13, in Hill Auditorium.
The band this year is composed of
32 women, Army and Navy person-
nel, and civilian men, making a total
of 80 members.
Most of the servicemen were for-
merly musicians as civilians. Their
cooperation and enthusiasm are part-
ly responsible for the success of the
band as a group.
Eight girls hold first chairs in the
band. They are: Ruth Wehner, '44,
flute; Doris Reed, '46, oboe; Mary
Laughlin, '44, clarinet; Patricia
Brown, 46, saxophone; Anna Choate,
'45, French horn; Allyce Wishnevsky,
'46, trombone; Sylvia Deutscher, '46,
bassoon; and Edna Martz, '46, bass.
Prof. William D. Revelli, director of
the University Bands, emphasized
that the reason so many women are
holding first chairs is not because
of the lack of men in the band, but
rather that these girls are some of
the most extremely talented and cap-
able players he has ever conducted.
Of the total membership of the con-
cert band, women will fill six posi-
tions among the flutes, two oboes, ten
clarinets, three saxophones, two
French horns, three trombones, one
bassoon, two basses, one coronet, and
one percussion.

BLUE CAP, CIGAR:
Union Doorman Still Shooing
W omen Away after 22 Years

4

By JENNIE FITCH
Part of Michigan tradition for al-
most a quarter of a century, George
Johnson, 76-year-old Union doorman,
is still manning his post to shoo away
anything in skirts from the Sacred
Union front entrance, long reserved
for men only.
George Johnson can look back over
a long line of Union visitors from
freshrmen in their blue and yellow
pots to some of the world's celebrities,
but his memory is failing now. When
asked what famous people had passed
through the well-guarded- portals,
George remarked that President
Ruthven was a very infrequent visitor
and had been there less than 20 times
in 20 years.
The Union doorman has never been
seen without his blue cap and chewed

'Glass in the Future' Is

"Glass in Construction in 194x,"
and "Glass, the Key to Post-War De-
signing," will be the topics of an il-
lustrated lecture to be given under
the auspices of the Student Branch
of the A.I.A. at 3:30 p.m. Friday inl

cigar as long as anybody can remem-
ber. Once noted as a judge of fem-
inine beauty, he surrendered his rep-
utation in 1935 as the result of an
unfortunate remark that the year's
crop of female students was under
par. Angry women were bothering
him for several months.
Old Age Bars Taverns
George used to like being just one
of the boys, and spent his off hours
in the taverns downtown, but he has
given it up lately because of his age.
After listening to student conversa-
tions during some 22 eventful years,
George has concluded that football
and sports have always been the fav-
orite topics, although "the boys talk
more about war than before."
Somewhat of a footbal fan him-
self, George's favorite pasttime for
many years was watching practices.
He became well nigh expert in mak-
ing predictions.
Back in 1939 when the walk run-
ning along the side of the bullding
was"torn up to permit the construc-'
tion of heating tunnels, George be-
came perturbed over the illegal use
of the front entry by women. He
was heard to remark, "If these women
don't stop trying to ruin our good
name and wreck one of the oldest
traditions on the Michigan campus,
I'm going to do something. about it."
He was photographed scaring women
away with a squirrel rifle. George's
methods are usually more gentle how-
ever, and he generally limits himself
to waving his cap at all trespassing
females.
He Throws Them Out
About 15 years ago,, George was
persuaded to take a part in the Union
opera. His role was to pose throwing
two brawny female impersonators out
the door.
George has had many jobs includ-
ing working in an air rifle factory,
touring with a troop of bell ringers,
doing a tap-dancing act, singing in
public and plowing on a farm, but
his present job is the best of all, he
says.

The Sophisticats will provide the

who again this year will glorify their
traditional ideal, the fabulous Paul
Bunyan. A gigantic figure of Bun-
yan will preside over the dance, fam-
ous as the campus' "most informal
formal."

Highlights
On Capus
Co-ops To Hold Forum

chology department, and A. K. Ste-

St. Joseph's Needs Help
"St. Joseph's Hospital is still ask-
ing for volunteer workers to serve as

Barbara Sternfels Levy, '44, chair-
man of volunteers for the hospital,
said yesterday.
