By DREW y
IPEARSON
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 - When
Fred M. Vinson stepped down from
the U. S. Court of Appeals to become
Director of Economic Stabilization, a
lot of people heaved a sigh of relief
and figured that the tough, price-
fixing days of bull-dozing Leon
Henderson were gone forever.
Judge Vinson, they thought, was an
easy-going, soft-spoken Kentucky ex-
Congressman who liked to tell darky
stories, relished a mint-julep and
would rather watch a horse race than
fix prices.
But they were sadly mistaken.
Judge Vinson does like mint juleps.
He also enjoys horse-races and
gcod stories. But all this and more
have been swept aside in his pas-
sionate campaign to stop inflation.
In short, Judge Vinson has de-
veloped into another Leon Henderson
-but with political savvy.
He has rowed with the farmers, he
has earned the undying enmity of
railroad labor, he has fought the big
oil companies, he has the cattlemen
swearing vengeance against him, he
has stamped on the toes of John L.
Lewis, -he. 'has- even- taken on, Old
Curmudgeon Harold Ickes.
Vinson vs. Ices .
Once, after Vinson had struck a
large and unyielding fist in front
of Ickes' drive for higher oil prices,
the Secretary of the Interior wrote
Judge Vinson .a typical Ickes letter.
Next .day at-cabinet;me.eting the two
men met.
"Harold," said Judge Vinson beat-
ing him to the punch, "I certainly
want to thank you for that sweet
letter ,you, wrote me. Some people
might have thoughtit sharp, but I
know what you could have written
if you had really set your mind to it."
Even Ickes had to laugh. In this
particular fight, Vinson was buck-
lug the big oil companies and the
entire industry. In another fight,
however, he was bucking the coal
miners and took just as adamant
a' stand against John L. Lewis.
While he was conferring with Coal
Administrator Newton, presicent of
the Chesapeake and Ohio RaiIrod,
the latter remarked that therm were

INTENT ON NOT allowing a repetition of the

CLEAN FOOD:
City Health Department,
Parrot Merit Big Hand
CENSURE IS AN EASY WAY to achieve notice
C in this world, where anything that makes
enough noise is immediately acclaimed as revo-,
lutionary.
However, this time there are two parties in
Ann Arbor that deserve praise. One is the
Ann Arbor Health Department, and the other
is the Parrot Cafe.
The Health Department deserves credit for
the very fine job it is doing to make Ann Arbor
the town, we would like it to be, and assure us
of decent places in which to eat. It forced the
Parrot Cafe to close its doors Wednesday, because
certain conditions were not as they should be. It
can conceivably close the door of many another
restaurant in Ann Arbor. The Health Depart-
ment is constantly checking in all the eating
establishments, assuring the public that the food
they eat, the dishes they eat from, and the uten-

WAR CHEST;.
University Drive Goes
Over $20,000Quota
THE UNIVERSITY WAR CHEST drive has
gone over the top. Returns yesterday showed
that $20,739 had been turned in and more is still
expected. The goal set for the University was
$20,000.
The University is one of the few divisions in
the city which has gone over its quota.' This
Is especially to be commended for there were
several reasons why the goal might not have
ieen met." The staff to be solicited was smaller
tlia- in' previous _years; the goal was $2,000
over last year's goal and an estimated ten
pereent of the staff was solicited outside of
, A uyrsity drive.
Respon to the drive on the part of service"
men is bnteworthy. Army and Navy officers
have gvn liberally. Graduate Naval Architects,.
who arehie for only a short time, have contrib-
uted almost $200. The total contribution by
servicemen' on campus is over $800.
Two dormitories, Helen Newberry and
Martha Cook, have made house solicitations
for the drive.
The goal has been met. But that does not
mean that it is too late to give. Nor is the need
any smaller because one division has over-
subscribed its quota. Contributions can still
be taken to Professor M..H. Waterman, 108 Tap-
pan Hall; Professor I. H. Walton, 4B East Hall,
or to Professor H. M. Ddrr '2034 Angel Hall.

FOOD SHORTAGE.
Nation's Top Soil Must
Be Kept fron Erosion
THE FOOD SHORTAGE, which is being felt
even in the far reaches of the University; has
little chance for improvement unless more scien-
tific farming methods are employed soon and
on a nation-wide scale.
Prime among-the country's farming 'evils is
soil erosion which costs about $844,000,000 an-
nually. Dr. Hugh H. Bennett, chief of the U. S.
Soil C'onservation Service, reported at a soil
conservation forum in Detroit last week that on
the ten percent of U.-S. farmland which is under
scientific conservation methods, production is
up 20 percent more than it was formerly.
To get maximum crop results it is impera-
tive that the country's fertile top soil be re-
tained and properly treated. An area of some
100,000,000 acres has been rendered unusable
by letting the top soil be carried down to the
sea.
These findings of leading agricultural experts
should be emphasized to all U. S. farmers and
steps be taken whereby they could receive in-
formation and help in actual practice. Far from
being another problem for Washington bureau-
"crats, the farmers themselves, through national
organizations such as Farm Bureau and the
Grange, must take measures to see that soil
conservation is practised effectively if the food
situation is not to become worse and the shortage
permanent.

POST-WAR NEED:
Universal Service MUst
Back International Force
SINCE IT TAKES MORE than words to make
an effective foreign policy, it is not too soon
for the Administration and Congressto consider
some practical steps to achieve the great purpose
set forth in the Connally resolution-the epfab-
lishment at the earliest practicable date of a
"general international organization-of all peace-
loving states," strong enough to assure "the
maintenance of international peace and secur-
ity."
An important step in the enactmient of such
an organization would be a post syste
rovidingor a universal nilitary r v
By experience in the last Worl _,V we
learned that no "general internation orniza-
tion" is going to be ab to ineace
and security without t ie i n -
tional police force. Sin .T Ue 4tat will
be one of the great nations n t is P stwlir or-
ganization, the moral responsibility of main-
taining a large enough Army and Navy to help
give authority, and strength to the new organi
zation will depend on us.
AFTER.THE WAR, we will naturally wish to
relieve from duty men whose service in the
field made victory possible. In view of this fact,
we will need more and younger' men for the
services than' were ever recruited in times of
peace by voluntary methods of enlistment for
the occupation of many areas Abroad, some of
them strategic posts, and others in enemy ter-
ritory.
It is pertinent that we make plans for such
an organization now, ahead of time, so that the
men in the field will have a positive assurance
that new and younger men will take their
places at the end of the war. Such a practical
step would also give the younger men them-
selves, who will be of age at that time, a clear
view of the responsibilities which their country
will expect them to assume.
Prompt adoption of such a plan for postwar
service would meet these essential needs. It
would also assure our Allies that we are definitely
intending to take seriously our obligations under
the Connally resolution with its sweeping vote
of approval, 85-5.

REHABIL ITATION :
UNRRA Takes a Step
Ahead in Food Problems
ENCOURAGING NEWS comes from Atlantic
City where the United Nations Relief and Re-
habilitation Administration is holding its first
conference. The delegates from 44 nations
Thursday elected former Gov. Herbert H. Leh-
man of New York to the post of director general.
As director of the UNRRA Lehman will su-
pervise the distribution of food, clothing, and
medical supplies to the people of occupied
Europe just as soon as they are liberated from
Axis control. One of the basic plans of the
organization is to aid the various countries
in re-establishing their agricultural facilities
so that they will be able to support their own
populations.
Since Hitler started his march of expansion
the nations in question have been sacked and
demolished to the point where most of the
people are on the verge of starvation. Not only
we've got one flag or two in this
country."
The most hated man in the U. S. A.
as far as railroad 'labor is concerned
is Fred Vinson. Some rail workers
actually think that Vinson must have
been paid by the railroad executives
to block their demand for a wage
increase.
Born in jail.
What they don't realize is that
Vinson has been just as adamant in
blocking big business and everyone
else who wants to up prices. Also
they don't' realize' that Vinson, born
in jail in the mountains of Kentucky,
has spent his life battling for the
underdog,
Vinson, Senior, was jailer at
Louisa, Ky., when the 'youngster
who later was to become czar of
American economy entered the
World. Louisa is up in the Ken-
tucky mountains where some peo-
ple still carry guns, and where some
of the Judge's friends; in all sern-
oixsness, have promised to bring
y ~ir Winchesters to Washington if"
he gets in trouble.
At Central College, Ky., Vinson
was a star baseball player, received
several big league offers, turned them
down to study law, and enter Con-
gress. He became a Congressman at
33, soon 'became a leading tax legis-
lator and is the man largely respon-
sible for increasing taxes in the high-
er brackets, and easing them in the
lower.
Though it hasn't been featured
i the papers, Vinson is hated by
the big cattle ranchers even more
than by railroad men. For months
they tried to prevent his putting a
ceiling on the price of beef.FIn
this, his' old friends, War Food
Administrator Judge Marvin Jones,
Congressman Dick Kleberg, world's
largest rancher, and Assistant Ag-
ricultural Secretary Grover Hill-
all from Texas-lined up against
him.
Joe Montagu, of the southwest
cattle lobby, said to Vinson: "What
difference does it make if meat' goes
up 10 percent? It only means a
few cents a month to each family."
Replied Vinson: "hIow long can
you expect a dam to hold with one
small hole in It?"
He' proceeded to fix a ceiling price
on beef.
