Member, Associated Collegiate Press, 1943-44 FAILS TO ACT: Report on Drew Case THE WHITEWASHING of Patrolman Drew of the New York Police Force by a special three- man board appointed by New York's Mayor La Guardia does not prove that Drew is innocent of the charges brought against him. Since the ease against Drew was a compli- cated one, involving alleged connections with subversive and anti-semitic organizations, it is hard to understand how an adequate invest- igation could have been made by the board in the short ieriod of time it spent on the case-- namely, two weeks. Perhaps the Mayor only wanted to cover up an embarrassing situation in the police department since he failed to take action on the report sub- mitted by Commissioner Herland, charging Drew with connections with subversive groups. Her- land also charged the police with tendencies to minimize such incidents as common acts of neighborhood hoodlumism, and named eight specific cases in which the police failed to take action to punish anti-semitic outbursts. A nasty situation still exists despite the in- vestigations of the board. For recently the police released, without questioning, four members of a gang that had openly partici- pated in the beating up of several Jews and the wrecking of Brooklyn poolrooms. It is hard to understand why the Mayor re- fused to back up Herland's case against Drew, and why he did not take drastic action in the Drew case. Perhaps Police Commissioner Valen- tine's order, forbidding policemen to affiliate with anti-semitic organizations, which has not been enforced yet, would be the answer to the menacing state now facing the New York Police Force.

FIGHT 'POLIO': Students Should Gjve to 'March of Dimes' Drive ONE PART of the nation-wide battle against infantile paralysis is being waged right here in Ann Arbor. The local chapter of the National Founda- tion for Infantile Paralysis is lending a help- ing hand so that "Polio" cases may receive adequate medical treatment, while funds di- rectly from the National Foundation are sup- porting research at the University Department of Public Health in an attempt to find out more about the disease. The campus "March of Dimes" drive begins tomorrow. Due to the high cost of last summer's epidemic, funds are needed this year more than ever before if the work which the Foundation has been carrying on is to be continued. By contributing at least a dime a day to this cause during the week that the drive is in progress and by purchasing the "Dime Daily" which will be sold Tuesday all over campus, each student can join in this battle. Let's start the army of dimes marching so that the American offensive against infantile paral- ysis will result in an overwhelming victory. -Louise Comins PATH-FINDERS: Student Hedge Hoppers Should Keep Off Grass MUST BE getting old. I can remember when there was grass on campus." That was one soldier's cryptic comment as he walked along the sandy desert that used to be a fairly beautiful University campus. Students and servicemen stationed here have suddenly discovered Euclid's proposition that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. If all the paths that have been made by hedge-hopping students were converted into paved walks, the campus would be cemented together, but beauty would be sacrificed forever. Starting tomorrow MP's will get down to the root of the situation by keeping Army men from trodding on what once were lawns. Let's hope students will .take the hint. -Ray Dixon GOP HINDSIGHT: House Beefs To Block Rehabilitation Program ALL YOU planners-for-the-peace, you with the post-war blueprints and the plans for inter- national cooperation, can now put away your pretty programs and sharpen your rifles for the next war instead. A group of House Republicans has decided to put a monkey-wrench in the work of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Ad- ministration. Crying this week that the United States "must guard its own interests," these legislators sought a restriction of UNRRA by reducing the American contribution, prohibit- DREW PEARSON'S MERRY-GO-ROUND I" WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Friends who have talked to Herbert Hoover recently say he has virtually become unofficial campaign manager for Governor Tom Dewey. However, Hoover readily admits that Dewey will have a fight on his hands to get the Republican nomination. Shortly after Alf Landon, the GOP 1936 nomi- nee, indicated that Dewey could win the nomi- nation on the first ballot, Hoover told Landon that it was foolish to assume that Wendell Will- kie, whom Hoover considers the "man to be beat" at the GOP convention, would not offer formidable resistance. However, Hoover scoffs at the idea that General Douglas MacArthur will get anywhere. The former President still accuses MacArthur of trying to shift the blame to him for the bloodshed that occurred during the famous "Bonus March" on Washington, while Mac- Arthur was Chief of Staff under Hoover. "There is no way to introduce General Mac- Arthur to the country under circumstances that would justify his nomination," Hoover tells friends. "Unless he retires from the Army-and r don't think he will in time for the campaign- it would appear that he was putting personal ambition ahead of his job in the Pacific in order to become a Presidential candidate. I am sure that the General has no such intention." When Hoover gets wound up on the subject, he adds something that has stuck in his craw since the "Bonus March." Hoover believes that MacArthur's strict sense of military discipline got the better of him on this occasion and that the bonus uprising could have been put down without filling Pennsylvania Avenue with tanks and burning the pitiful per- sonal belongings of the veterans. Another gnawing antipathy in the ex-Presi- dent's breast is British interference in Amer- ican politics. Hoover never overlooks an op- portunity to relate a story, which he insists is first hand, about a trans-Atlantic phone call which Lord Beaverbrook is said to have made to New York newspaper publishers after the 1942-Congressional elections. According to Hoover, Beaverbrook told the publishers: "You should stop these attacks on President Roosevelt. We will need him as a World President after the war." Wisconsin Rejects Wallace ... The few high-up Administrationites who know the whole story, consider recent happenings at the Wisconsin Democratic convention extremely significant. The chief fight among Wisconsin Democrats was over Henry Wallace as running mate on a Roosevelt fourth term ticket. Inside story of what happened is this. Demo- cratic National Chairman Frank Walker and Federal Economic Administrator Leo Crowley asked Congressman Howard McMurray of Mil- waukee to go out to Wisconsin and make a fight for Wallace with his fellow Democrats. The fact that these two high-up Democrats P'd Rather Be Right_ By SAMUEL GRAFTON NEW YORK, Jan. 23-Let us not forget that a political deadlock accompanies the military deadlock in Italy. We have asked the Italian people to hang briefly in the air, somewhere, between fascism and democracy, while we swept out their country for them. That process is taking longer than we expected; as a result the Italian people are hanging in the air longer than they expected. The pause is becoming a way of life. The interlude is becoming an era. The entire point of our deal with Badoglio and the King was that it would enable us to do the joh, quick, quick, quick. In spite of the great and humbling gallantry of our men, and Britain's, we are doing the job slow, slow, slow. The point of our original politi- cal strategy ha now completely disappeared, but we are still stuck with the strategy. QUICKLY, OR NOT AT ALL Our plan was to use Badoglio and the King briefly; to take the country over from them in orderly fashion; then drop them. Brevity was the soul of wit, in this conception. But we don't have Italy; we have only Badoglio and the King. We are still dealing with the two men, though the basis for the deal has quite evapo- rated; and the two men are still keeping store, though they have nothing left to sell. But in politics, nothing really stands still; if progressive changes do not take place, disinte- grative changes will occur. These are occurring. IT'S AN 'OLD STORY, NOW They are occurring among us, for one thing. We used to be a little breathless and ashamed about dealing with Victor Emmanuel and Mar- shall Badoglio, and with their incredible fascist generals and admirals. But now it is an old story; we see them every day; we walk down the streets of Italy's towns with them in broad day- light; our brief affair is turning into a marriage. The fascist crown prince, Umberto, tears around behind the lines, like the chairman of a clambake. His hat is set at precisely the same jaunty angle as when he was Mussolini's glamor boy, a year ago; and the aspirations of the Italian people to pull it down over his ears are stifled. Changes are taking place among the people of Italy, too. The offer by the Six Parties to accept a regency for the six-year-old Prince of Naples, Victor Emmanuel's grandson, was a temporary offer, a bargain offer, good for to- day only. We have kept that offer on ice for four months and it isn't fresh any more. I have a feeling that Count Sforza had to work hard to get the leaders of the Six Parties to consent to the regency; they found it difficult to swallow, but they swallowed it. To have that offer turned down must stun them. The Italian volunteer movement seems to have come to a dead stop. The Italians see Badoglio putting royal insignia on the shoulders of the troops he has drafted, and they see us doing nothing about it, and they gape at us. We have propped up the dead Italians in fighting posture; and we have sat on the energetic ones. MUD TO THE HUB-CAPS The Italians do not feel that they understand us any more. We made more sense before we arrived. Soon they must look for new friends. And, listen, from the east, there comes a strange sound; the Russians are beginning to make anti-Badoglio noises. If we were winning the war quickly, we could explain everything. But we are not winning quickly. So our lips open and close silently and no sound comes forth; we have nothing to say. Can't we swallow our pride of opinion and declare that, whatever the merits of the original detl with Badoglio and the King, the situation has so changed that the old argu- ments no longer apply; that while we may have needed turncoats for a midnight surrend- er, we now need popular support for a slow push? How long can we sit in that stalled car, with that fake, gleeful expression on our faces, as of men trying to convince themselves that they are going like the wind? (Copyright, 1944, New York Post Syndicate) both went down the line for Wallace is con- sidered significant in itself. It puts to rest ideas that FDR is veering toward Jimmy Byrnes as a running mate. When Congressman McMurray got out to Mil- waukee, he encountered tough sledding. Old-line Wisconsin Democrats were delighted to pledge for Roosevelt for a fourth term, considered him the only man with a real chance of winning. But they could not take Wallace. The battle against him was led by State Senator Tony Gawronski of South Milwaukee, Senator James H. Carroll and ex-Senator Harry W. Bolens. The battle continued until late in the evening. But the old guard, frequently called "Post Office Democrats" because their chief objective has been patronage, stood pat. (Copyright, 1944, United Features Syndicate) - SUNDAY, JAN. 23, 1944 VOL.
