GIVE DIMES: ,
Goal Is Unconditional
Surrender for 'Polio'
JUST A FEW months ago our nation experi-
enced its worst epidemic of infantile paralysis
in 12 years. Only twice before in the recorded
hIstory of the disease were so many of ourr
people placed on the epidemic casuality list.
But America was prepared. And wherever the
epidemic laid siege, there too was launched a
counter-attack by the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis and its chapters.
Chapters In the affected sectors rushed im-
mediate aid to all victims. The National
Filundation borrowed physical therapy techni-
clans from non-epidemic areas, sent tons of
Wvpol for hot pack treatments, respirators, ap-
paratus of all kinds to the epidemic sectors.
At the same time, eminent scientists, working
ti4er Niational Foundation grants sought new
ciues which may lead to discovery of the cause,
prevention and cure of the disease.
But all this takes money, more money than
was ever expended in one year for this pur-
pose. If all, the 12,000 persons who were
striken with this disease this year had been
given a year's treatment the total cost would
be 216,000,000 dimes.
Fortunately this was not required, for the
dimes and dollars previously given by the Am-
erican people before lessened the toll by pro-
viding swift medical attention which spared
manly from crippling.
The local "March of Dimes" drive began yes-
terday. Each and every person in Ann Arbor
is being asked to give a dime a day to fight this
crippling disease during the week of the cam-
paign.
By making these dime contributions and by
purchasing this special "imc Daily" you will
be enabling the National Foundation, to con-
tinue its excellent work of helping heal those
who have contracted "polio" and of prevent-
ing others from being stricken with the disease.
Let's make it unconditional surrender for
"polio" by joining the "March of Dimes."

ENT USIASTIC
Army War Bond Sales
Furnish Good Example
T IS A significant fact that 22 per cent or
almost one-fourth of the total orders turned
in to the University office during the first week
of the Fourth War Loan Drive have come from
members of the Army units stationed here.
Ninety per cent of these men are already
buying War Bonds each month through pay
deductions ranging from $3.25 to $18.85, and
their investments in the Fourth War Loan
campaign represent a contribution over and
above their regular allotments. To most of
these servicemen buying extra bonds means
a real sacrifice.
A University officials commented aptly that
the soldiers seem to be determined "not only to
help fight the war but to pay for it as well."
They are in a position to realize better than

THE PERFORMANCE last night of Clarence
Day's "Life with Father" to a capacity crowd
was somewhat of a "letdown" to the expectant
audience, composed of both students and Ann
Arbor residents, who had been looking forward
to this humorous play of Howard Lindsay and
Russel Crouse.
heading the cast as Vinnie and Clarence
,Ay, unusual parents of four red-headed boys,
June Walker and Harry Bannister gave a
slightly melodramatic performance of two
clever roles. In trying to convince Father that
he must be baptized in order to become a true
Christian, the entire family is entangled in a
number of comical situations with the climax
coming at the moment of Mother's serious ill-
ness.
.Thinking that his wife is dying, Mr. Day pro-
mises to submit to the ordeal of baptism, never
realizing that he will actually have to go through
with it. But in the final scene, he gives in to
the will of the family and friends, and the cur-
tain goes down as Father marches off to the bap-
tismal ceremony.
If the actors were marionettes in the hands of
skillful manipulators, they certainly would have
portrayed their parts with closer attention to
their meaning. The blasphemous speeches, so
frequently uttered in a hoarse voice by Father,
carried a definite appeal to certain older mem-
bers of the audience who could perhaps appre-
ciate the social life of New Yorkers in the late
1880's. Such a well-written play, however, re-
quires an exact performance to satisfy the de-
mands of such a homogeneous audience.
With clever humor injected in almost every
other speech, the play was usually lively
enough. But the scenes were slightly drawn
out, so that the last few were more or less the
same as earlier ones.
Everyone, however, enjoyed the sudden ex-
clamation of young John Day, "Why, I'll be 21
years old!" when his father announced that the
money for the patent medicine he had sold to
townspeople would be taken out of his own al-
lowance in order to pay them back.
The Broadway success of "Life with Father"
was not repeated last night in Ann Arbor. How-
ever, the audience derived a certain pleasure
from the humorous expressions.

DELAYED:
Showdown Immnnent
On Soldier Voe issue
THE MUCH-ABUSED soldier vote issue which
has been in and out of the Congressional
spotlight for several weeks is rapidly approach-
ing a showdow as both the Senate and House
prepare to begin debate on measures which will
insure members of the armed forces the fulfill-
ment of their voting privilege.
Although numerous leaders in Congress have
expressed private sentiments to the effect that
only a miracle will allow suitable legislation to
be passed in time to be effective before the
November elections, it looks as if the issue
will be decided one way or the other within
the next few days
The House is scheduled to begin debate today
on a Senate-approved measure which provides
that the, states revise their voting rules and reg-
ulations to permit soldiers to use the regular
federal ballot for absentee voting. This bill, if
passed; would in effect give the federal govern-
ment practically complete control over all voting
done by servicemen.
Meanwhile, the Senate Elections Committee
has approved a compromise measure, giving
the various states control over the necessary
qualifications for voters but allowing for the
use 'of the regulation election ballot. Thus,
the government would have charge of all
detals of distribution and collection of ballots.
This bill will undoubtedly gain greater prom-
inence should the present .legislation be de-
feated,
Good news for the hundreds of angry Univer-
sity students and Michigan residents who have
deluged their Congressmen with protests against
the present provisions for service balloting and

pleas for the passage of a federal soldier vote bill
came to day when it was announced that no
effort would be made to invoke the "gag rule"
which riight prevent the current House measure
from coming to a vote. It looks very much as if
the citizens of America have once more proven
the power of public opinion, although the victory
in this case has not yet been won, it seems
closer than at any previous time.

Slovaks Join Partisans
The Office of War Information reports that
6000 Slovaks escaped during the last six months
and joined the Yugoslav liberation forces. Many
have fled from the labor camps in Germany and
Austria during the disorders caused by the
bombing of German cities by Allied flyers. In-
formation concerning a separate Czechoslovak-
ian battalion fighting with the Yugoslav Parti-
sans, which was widely circulated in Central
Europe, proved to be of considerable aid in re-
cruiting. -Czechoslovak News Flash

I'd Rather
Be Right
By SAMUEL GRAFTON -
NEW YORK-One of bhe real reasons why
the Russians may mistrust us a trifle, even now,
is that we have no real plans for the future of
Europe. We want to go home. We are in favor
of whatever will enable us to win quickly and
go home fast.
That is why we are able to get along better
with the Polish government-in-exile than the-
Russians are. The Polish government-in-exile
is merely our temporary companion on a brief
adventure; but the Russians have to think of
the same Polish government in terms of a
permanent neighbor, separated only by a party
fence. We are aching for the moment when we
can say: "Good-bye, Europe. Good-bye! May
all your chidren be democrats." But the Rus-
sians have to stay in the old neighborhood.
IT IS EVE Y G. L's WISH
It is a commendable aim on our part to want
to go home speedily. Every G. I. echoes that
wish. He would be a strange fellow if he didn't.
But it makes us, in a sense, visitors. We are
awfully temporary in Europe.
That is why we are able to say, beaming,
and with a kind of stuffy heartiness, that we
are going to let nature take its course, politic-
ally, in each country on the Continent. We
are not going to interfere in the internal wars
between the stinkweeds and the violets. That
is very broad-minded of us. It is almost sweet.
But it is the attitude of the visitor, not of the
permanent resident, who is likely to have very
decided ideas on the subject of living among
stinkweeds. He is especially troubled when he
sees us being "fair" to the weeds, by reaching
out a hand to protect them whenever the violets,
as in France and Italy, show a tendency to
spread.
NOT WITH A HOUSEWIFE'S EYE
We call this being democratic, and impartial.
But it is the impartiality of Lady Bountiful, in-
specting the peasants' huts. She would look
under the beds with a more searching eye, and
measure the closets more carefully, if she were
examining a proposed habitation for herself.
No one is impartial about having half weeds
and half flowers in his own garden. It is only
in the other fellow's acre that such a state of
affairs appears to be true equity. So it is that
in France we help keep a Flandin and a Pey-
routon from being tried for treason, and in
Yugoslavia we give virtually equal recognition
to two movements, neither of which can live
with the other, and in Italy we try to strike
a careful balance between good and evil.
Our favorite color for Europe is a dull gray,
which we get by mixing everything together.
Then we daub this shade vigorously on every
house in town. Of course we wouldn't live there
if you gave us the place. We have beautiful
reasons for doing all this. But the reason of
reasons is that we don't intend to be there very
long.
GRAY IS GRAY
We are satisfied with a cursory glance at the
references of anybody who is willing to hold
the baby and let us catch the train.
So maybe it is our quality of being so relaxed
about it all that stirs the Russians to a bit of
distrust; maybe it is our very urbanity which
moves them to occasional dark thoughts. We
think the Polish government-in-exile is a good
old government-in-exile, fine, fine; and we
consider that Franco is making very satis-
factory progress toward liberalism. But Span-
iards are killing Russians on Russian soil.
The Polish border has been an open sore for
two decades. These problems will remain after
we the shining visitors, shall have gone home,
chuckling at how neatly we put that last point
about impartiality.
Maybe if we showed a disposition to make
more enemies in Europe, we would make more
friends, if you get what I mean, and firmer
ones; or, to put it another way, when you splash

that gray paint around too much, everything
begins to look sort of muddy.

NEXT MOVE?*
Bolivian Question Puts
Secretary Hull on Spot
T HE MAELSTROM of international politics
has been added another factor to distort the
scene a little more-the new government in
Bolivia has decided to declare war on the Axis.
State Department, please note.
At the same time that Bolivia declared her
intentions, two other Latin Americana coun-
tries, Cuba and Uruguay, flatly stated they
would not recognize the coup.
Up to now the United Stages has taken the
lead in Pan-American affairs. The other Am-
erican republics have followed our lead,
Secretary Hull has indicated that we
wouldn't recognize the new government until
obvious fascist leanings were wiped out. A
declaration of war would seem to be the final
step.
All of which leads us to ponder the State
Department's next move.
