War Bond Drive IT WOULD BE redundant at this point to ap- peal for contributions for the Sixth War Loan Drive which started yesterday and con- tinues through December 16. Most of the people who read this editorial are tired of hearing requests for money to support the war effort. Nevertheless, we doubt whether any of these people would minimize the import- ance of war bond drives. We doubt' whether any of these people would deny that every day there E're American men and women overseas making our little worlds secure-that we here at home, safely at home, have the right to neglect our duty to our men, to ourselves, and to the world. Although it seems to us that every week is war bond week, the government has deemed it necessary to designate a certain period of each war" year for a concentrated campaign to sell war bonds. The least we can do is exert a little more effort for the next few weeks to help carry out the job of 130,000,000 now being executed by a small proportion of that number. -Bob Goldman By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON, NOV. 20-Allied Intelligence has done its best to solve the mystery of what has happened to Hitler, but his fate and whereabouts remain one of the most carefully kept secrets of the Reich. Here are the only reliable facts that have been pieced together. It has been established that Hitler did go to Vienna for a throat operation about two months ago. He suffers from a chronic throat ailment, somewhat like Secre- tary Hull's, and he has had several of these operations. Prior to this Vienna operation, it was known that Hitler had become more and mnore dom- ineering, more unbalanced, more inclined to shout down anyone who tried to talk to him. He was always inclined to be this way, but word leaking 'out to neutral countries is that he was much more so this past summer. The supposition is, therefore, that -Hitler has been quietly put away by Himmler and the party leaders, probably confined to a sanitarium. It has been noticeable to Allied military men for som time that Hitler was not at the helm. German military operations have been too well directed. There have been no eccentric moves such as when Hitler was muddling up the command. As far as more skillful military operations are concerned, Hitler's absence will help the Nazis. Otherwise, it will be a more serious blow to Germany than most people here realize, for the lower ranks of the German Army worship- ped Hitler. Prisoners interviewed after cap- ture have indicated that they were fighting for Hitler, not so much for Germany. FDR as Commander in Chief. One of the most controversial issues during the late lamented campaign was whether F. D. Roosevelt really exercised much influence as Commander in Chief, or whether the war was run solely by the military. An interesting letter in this connection, in which Roosevelt in effect overruled the military regarding food supplies in Italy, has just leaked out. His letter, dated Oct.' 31, 1944-the very climax of the campaign-was addressed to Sec- retary of War Stimson, and read: "I have had before me the shipping difficul- ties in getting supplies to the civilian population of Italy and I note that we have been building up some reserves for use when Northern Italy collapses. "In the meantime, it seems to me that the situation is so acute, from the point of view particularly of food in Southern Italy, that some risks must be taken regarding supplies at the time of the collapse in Northern Italy. That collapse may well not come until Ger- many itself collapses, in which case the ship- ping situation will be much less acute. "Under the circumstances, I have determined to assume the responsibility for asking General Wilson to increase the ration to 300 grams throughout all of Italy that our forces occupy." GOP Plans for '48.. Despite discouragement over Dewey's defeat, GOP leaders already are laying plans for 1948. First step will be further revitalization of Repub- lican headquarters, enlistment of a cracker-jack staff to pep up party machinery. Republican Chairman Herbert Brownell, who has been resting in Arizona, wants to resign, will call a National Committee meeting shortly after the first of the year which promises to be turbulent. Several factions will be gunning for Dewey, may try to seize control of the party machinery, set the stage for "Stassen in '48." One key man in the post-election GOP set-up is shrewd, popular publicist Lee Ches- ley, who joined the campaign late, is now in charge of National Committee publicity. Ches- Facts and Figures ALTHOUGH most Americans now feel that theY war in Europe is almost over, those same Americans must not forget that the end of the war in Europe does not mean the end of the war in gene'al. Estimates are that Japan has an army of 4,000,000 men, less than a third of them south of China; and that she has 2,000,000 men avail- able and fit for military service who haven't been called up; and another 1,500,000 men be- tween the ages of 17 and 20 not yet subject to draft. Japan also has a normal replacement of be- tween 200,000 and 250,000 men a year as fresh drafts come of age, and according to the OWI reports, the destruction of Japan's armies has not yet reached this annual rate. In light of the above facts, the American people must realize that the most expensive and gigantic campaign of the war will be launched in the Pacific after the war in Europe is over. More B-29 Superfortresses at $600,000 each, more P-J7 Thunderbolts that cost $50,000 each; more M-4 tanks with bulldozer blades that cost $67,417 each, more amphibious tanks, more air- craft carriers, more supply ships, more gasoline and oil than it took for the irgvasion of Europe, will be needed. In addition more battalion aid stations, clear- ing stations, evacuation hospitals, convalescent hospitals, and hospital ships will also be needed. These are some of the reasons why Americans must continue to buy War Bonds, during the Sixth War Loan drive and afterwards. -Aggie Miller BARNABY Iley, one of the brightest press agents on the Washington scene, is anxious to slug it out toe to toe with Democratic publicist Paul Porter. Chesley's Washington predecessor, Carlisle Bargeron, handled publicity for the powerful Pennsylvania GOP machine during the campaign, and plans to continue working for Boss Pew now that the balloting is over. Overseas Merry-G-Round ... Britons are now organizing "Fan Clubs." Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller and Dinah Shore clubs are sprouting all over England . . . The presence of American troops has brought a Western- story boom to England. "Daniel Boone" is now a big seller . . . Americans can expect some nex slang expressions when the boys come home. One new one is, "Now he's scrubbed," which means "He's all washed up!" . . . One explana- tion for Governor Dewey's low soldier vote was Senator Bob Taft's ridiculous ban on political propaganda to soldiers. The bill provided for equal publicity for both candidates, which gave a big break to Roosevelt. Many G. I. Joe's had never heard of Dewey, couldn't find out much about him from the skimpy news the Army was permitted to send out under Taft's soldier- vote bill . . . All knew about Roosevelt, had been hearing about him for years. (Copyright, 1944, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) I'D RATHER BE RIGHT: Maas Ousted By SAMUEL GRAFTON ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, NOV. 21-This is Senator Ball's home town. When the young Republican senator came out for President Roosevelt during the campaign, St. Paul opinion split into two schools, a "Joe the Hero" party and a "Joe the Rat" party. But local people report that tempers subsided fast after election day. Joe isn't considered so much a traitor to his party now, but more as a man who rose above partisan considerations. The Republicans say Ball didn't change many votes in Minnesota. The Democra have a better story. The Democrats say whit hap. pened was that after Joe Ball came out for Roosevelt, the Republican organization here got hot. It began to kick and scream, it began to holler and shout, to overcome what Ball had done. This touched off a good deal of Democratic activity, because the parties natur- ally take heat from each other. Joe Ball didn't change votes, but he broke the shell of apathy, and he made a cold election into a hot elec- tion. Jokes went around St. Paul, like this: "Pop, what is a Republican who supports the Democrats?" "A traitor." "But Pop, what is a Democrat who supports the Republicans?" "A convert." Joe Ball made people think about how im- portant party labels are or aren't, and about how important the war is, or isn't and whether peace has wings. He also helped make people lose their tempers, and this affected the election in a wonderful way. For this pleasant town, where you can look down from the Bluffs and terraces into the Mississippi, and where you can see hunters car- rying deer home in their cars through the busi- ness district, is also the town in which Melvin J. Maas, Republican member of Congress for six- teen years, a colonel of Marines, and a Pacific Firster went down to defeat. He licked himself. Maas came in originally on the repeal wave, using visiting cards made in the shape of a picture of a Brown Beer keg. He was strong in St. Paul, in spite of his curious political position as a kind of 50 percent isolationist, inclined to sneer at Europe, and to demand a concentration of our effort against Japan. The first three or four men whom the Demo- crats asked to run against him responded with low, hollow laughs. Then the Democrats dug up Frank T. Star- key, one of Tobin's men in the Teamster's Union. He had made a bit of a reputation for himself in the state legislature about ten years ago, but had dropped into a kind of political obscurity. The campaign began dolefully; Star- key said this, and Maas said that, and nobody paid much attention. Then it happened. That strange, final phase of the campaign came along, when tempers grew hot. And there was Maas, shouting wild charges from the platform, accusing the President of having known aboilt Pearl Harbor six hours before the attack, and of having done nothing to prevent it, because he "wanted war." A gasp went up from St. Paul's Democrats and Re- publicans alike. But Maas couldn't stop. Buoyed up by that peculiar isolationist arro- gance, which cannot believe that it is not the majority opinion, he plunged ahead, glaring down at a League of Women Voters meeting, telling the ladies that lie would repeat every one of his votes in Congress if he had to do it again. It was a clear test of the all-out isola- tionist case, and before it was over, St. Paul had remembered about the war, and what it meant. They say Maas knew he was going to lose, before the end, but the thing pursued him, and lie couldn't stop doing it. He came in with repeal, and he went out with internationalism spanning two eras in the drama of an America considering its futu're and making up its mind. (Copyright, 1944, New York Post Syndicate) The Pendulum By BERNARD ROSENBERG l People still are in the habit of calling this column "negativistic." I negate nothing essentially except what strikes me as smacking of the fascist tendencies that have threat- ened to engulf our world for the past decade. In so doing I passionately affirm the democratic principles that can underly a better, braver, more abundant life tomorrow. Satisfac- tion with things as they are now is. .stupidity or madness: stupidity if it does not see the horror of a self- imposed death toll higher than that of any other period in human his- tory; madness if it thinks that fact a godsend. Curious to see whether my al- leged defeatism was something new or merely a °maturation of past ideas, I rummaged through some old papers of mine and ran across a rather rhapsodic speech I had delivered four years ago. If you can overlook the juvenile phrase- ology, I think it says something: The story of how the United States of America was fashioned by multi- tudes of people from all over the universe will never cease to be glori- ous. Out of those unrelated groups was formed a symphony of nations. Its inspirational cadences might be heard the length and breadth of the world. For all could live here to- gether as one. But in this symphony-with a rising crescendo-there are audible discordant notes and inharmonious chords. They are the deep and reso- nant echoes of a cacophony com- posed by Maestro Adolph Hitler and his minions in whose satanic hands the baton of desolation, of greed, and of death is being waved. Not for nothing have our states- men told us this is the most trying of times, ours the most tumultous of eras. The amoral force let loose upon our unthinking generation is sc momentous that we have not yet fully sensed the magnitude of its evil. Still that force can radiate a healthy, chastising influence.Fo today, America stands not only as the material arsenal of democracy but as the spiritual sanctuary of freedom. It is the sun around which' the solar system of man's aspirations is revolving. (Defeatist did someone say?) In it are to be found at least the seeds of true equality and hap- piness and opportunity. These are the things by which free men live and for which free men die. Even the present all-consuming1 abomination will some day soon be terminated. Some day soon, too, we will no longer be afraid to face the present with words of "tomor- row and iomorrow and tomorrow;" but rather, "The time is now. The need is pressing." America must have its long awaited rendezvous with destiny. Let it be shouted from the house- tops, "Americans! You cannot cabin you cannot efface your souls. We are in a position to shake to its decadent roots the pillars of perverted civiliza- tion." But upon such a solemn task we can never embark unless America has cleansed itself of the practition- ers of slaveyy who spread every- where their anti-democratic viruses. By the same token, we must deal a death blow to Jim Crowism, to anti- Semitism, to racial prejudice in all its vile forms. Since the writing of the Constitu- tion, for one hundred and fifty years and before that, we have taken from the slaughterhouse that is Europe to our bosoms and nurtured the down- trodden, the exploited, the driven and the harried. The time now ap- proaches when we can send back from these same beneficent shores the dictum which actuated Jefferson and Madison and Lincoln, indeed Moses and Christ and every great or noble soul who ever breathed. That is the dictum of brotherhood. If our illustrious ancestors wrote and proclaimed the Declaration of Independence, it is our duty unmis- takably to write and meaningfully to proclaim-if need be in letters of blood-the Declaration of Interde- pendence. It is well to dedicate our- selves to Pan-Americanism; it is better to dedicate ourselves to pan- humanism-to the good of all for the. good of each. From the podium of peace, we will herald the dawn of a new epoch. America, the symphony of nations can give birth to the world -a symphony of people. Therein lies the transcendant hope of man- kind. By means of it alone can we re-kindle that divinity whose spark burns eternal in all men, whose cause is justice and banner dem- ocracy. And the motif of that symphony will be the unbreakable spirit of man synchronized to the end that we establish, here on earth, the King- dom of Heaven ... Youth, ah! callow youth. By Crockett Johnson To the Editor: Several articles have appeared in The Daily concerning the organiza- tion of a provisional committee in- terested in bringing the World Stu- dent Service Fund to the attention of organizations on campus. So far the activities of this committee have been unofficial, since formal appli- cation to the Dean of Students has not yet been approved. This committee has devoted itself so far to contacting officers andl members of organizations which might be interested in supporting a WSSF drive when official permission is obtained. In its statement to The Daily, which appeared Saturday, the com- mittee gave the impressions that organizations which had been invited to send interested members to a larger meeting had officially en- dorsed the WSSF and its future activities. The committee wishes to state that no organization has yet been invited to officially support the drive; nor will the sending of repre- sentatives to the meeting of Tuesday evening, Nov. 21, constitute official endorsement of committee activities. Moreover, the use of the word "officially" in the article appearing Sunday was an unfortunate choice of word, and was not intended to indicate that official approval had been given. Finally, the committee recognizes that The Daily and its representa- tives are in no way responsible for the misstatements described; and wishes to thank the editors for their cooperation in allowing this correc- tion to be made.

They are beginning to petition, to vote, to make their voices felt This is a pro- gressive, positive step toward greater partici- pation in this, people's government. But the mayor of Dearborn is unfortunately urging the residents to send postcards of pro- test to their congressmen regarding the pro- posed federal housing project for Negro citi- zens of Dearborn. Such flouting of the announced principles of this country is a danger, not only to the Negroes of Dearborn, but to University stu- dents; Union members, churchmen--embers of any minority group which may someday be persecuted by such a majority. This is not the sort of thing at which you can shrug your shoulders. And it is your business. Dearborn - is only 30 miles from here. Right in Ann Arbor discrimination exists: in the University, in manufacturing establishments and stores. If you come from Chicago, New York$ Los Angeles, or any of Michigan's "quiet, re- fined communities" you will find the same pat- terns of segregation. We all worked hard before November 7th, ringing doorbells and cooperating with the un i ions and acting more like responsible citizens than some of our elders and betters. i Ii The fact that the elections are over does not, however, mean that we have nothing to do. We can write letters to the mayor of Dearborn, the women's clubs, churches and unions there, telling them we do not intend to let a fascist, race-hating America develop' under our feet without putting up a good stiff long hard fight. F 0 If we students, along with the people of Dear- born, studied a 'little history, We would discover that no group of people have willingly remained slaves for long. And no group have stood for second-class treatment when they could see all around them another way of 'living. If stu- dents and citizens would read a little sociology, we would know that men's attitudes and actions are partially determined by their environment. Pop.
