Step Toward Peace ONE OF THE greatest but least publicized steps taken toward the creation of endur- ing peace is the publication by a German firm of millions of anti-Nazi text books to be issued in Germany when the war ends. These books, which are selected by the Ber- mann-Fischer Verlag publishing company to teach science, history and mathematics- are the only weapons which can convince the Nazi-in- doctrinated mind that "Mein Kampf" is a false Bible. They are the only weapons which can change the Nazi revenge complex to love of peace. We must use the same technique which Hitler wielded so cleverly-through reeducation of the German population-to show up his false teachings. Texts on world history which reduce Prus- sion-German evolution 'to its proper propor- tion in the history of mankind and explain the relevance of nationalism to the events of today; biology texts refuting the German racial superiority myth; and physics books including Einstein findings are among the texts which have been prepared by German scholars in this country, according to the New York Times. In the same way German teachers who be- lieve in democracy should be sent to Germany after the war. Some say that the Germans would resent the nerve of us trying to teach them-whose literacy rate and progress in certain branches of science are far in advance of those in this country. To me the number of people who can write means little when compared with the use to which they put the writing. Certainly, most of the people in Germany can read that the fuehrer is always right. But how many more in that country will believe Nazi myths than those who, have been educated here! The Germans may be advanced in the science of creating "secret weapons" and devising systematic methods of destroying whole villages, but why not give the Germans reason to put their scientific energies into making socially beneficial inventions? Besides, the Germans, with all their national- ism, will have little cause to resent the inpour- ing of books on German literature and thought in the German language written by Germans. These authors will include such Nazi-banned German authors as Heinrich Heine and Albert Einstein. Whether the Germans resent it at first or not, they have got to be taught democracy until they really believe it and until their only motivation for making war will be to protect that democracy. -Myra Sacks Homecoming Success WE MAY have had qualms at first about a Michigan Homecoming in wartime-about an attempt to revive some of the college atmo- sphere that had lain dormant for three years. But the enthusiasm rampant at the pep rally Friday, the crowd-student and alumni-that filled the stadium Saturday, the more than 500 couples who patiently pushed into the Union Ballroom Saturday night, the excellence of the By DREW 1PEARSON ASHINGTON -When you call the roll of the new Senate, you can't escape the con- clusion that it will be better equipped and better intentioned regarding the writing of a perman- ent peace than any Senate in years-perhaps any other in history. The President has been given a comfortable, working majority of Senators, chiefly Democrats, but including several A-1 Republicans, who un- derstand foreign policy and are heart and soul in favor of a cooperative plan to build up the\ peace after this war is over. A large bloc of the nation obviously did not believe in Governor Dewey's slogan, "It's time for a change," in regard to the White House, but they did take his words seriously as far as the Congress in concerned. Here is the roll call of some who swept out the old isolationists in the Senate on the idea that "it's time for a change." Governor John Moses of North Dakota, Demo- crat, replaces isolationist Senator Gerald Nye, and is- his exact opposite. Born in Norway, educated at a Norwegian college, Moses migrated here at the age of 20, was a railroad section hand, later became the law partner of Lynn Stambaugh, former head of the American Leg- ion, who also ran against Nye last week.-. Stambaugh, a good friend of Moses, actually I'D RATHER BE RIGHT: Post-War Changes By SAMUEL GRAFTON AKRON, OHIO, NOV. 14-I asked a rubber executive how he felt about the election out- come. "I thought the sun wouldn't rise the next day," he said. "But see, it's up there." Another one said: Oh, this country is so wonderful, no one man can ruin it." Me who were red-hot for Mr. Dewey are making jokes, each according to his own style: and it's a good reaction. Everybody is so peace- ful; quiet and relaxed. But it does add to the feeling that there is something not right about the way we campaign. Anybody who took the campaigning seriously ought to be shaking in his shoes now, expecting the country to be grab- bed by the Communists. Nobody is shaking. Maybe the profoundest thing Wendell Willkie ever said was his remark when he disowned a statement he had made during the 1940 race: "That was just campaign oratory." It brought him unfavorable criticism, at the time, but it was a refreshingly frank avowal that we are quite different people during a campaign than we are right after. I still think it's a coming cultural project for America to get some of the corn out of its campaigning. The first faint shadows of post-war change are showing up in Akron. Workmen who came here from West Virginia and Kentucky are now beginning to drift away from the rubber plants they've made some money, and, in too many cases, are quietly going home. You look around, and they're gone. They have their own pathetic little individual post-war plans, and they are putting them in operation. At Firestone, they told me they are banking on a big, pent-up, post-war demand for tires, enough to maintain capacity for several years. They have no serious reconversion problem; their war-time business, apart from the extra activities taken on in new plants, has been, basically, tires and tubes and they will continue' to make tires and tubes, going down to smaller sizes. "As for the war plants," said John W. Thomas, Chairman of the Board, "Some must be junked, and some are becoming junk. We're working around the clock, and the stuff is getting six years' wear in three. We don't have the kind of maintenance men we used to have." I had never thought of the problem of our extra capacity obligingly solving itself in this way. To get back to Willkie, he lived here in Akron for about ten years, from 1919 on. I looked up one of his old friends. Had there ever been anything about Willkie in those days to make Akron think he was destiny's child? No. Was he the kind of man that Akron would have picked to put on a committee of leading citizens? Not especially; perhaps for a busi- ness purpose, but not for a civic or charitable enterprise. What was he like? Well, sort of quiet; he never even bought an automobile, used to ride the trolleys. The mystery of Willkie's later growth deepens as one looks into it; some- thing happened to make him what he became, but it is not yet clear what. Had he been conspicuously liberal in any way? Well, he did take part in the fight against the lClu Klux Klan, in 1924. He didn't start it, but he found himself in it, campaigning against the Klan, giving money to candidates who op- posed it. My informant said: "He set out deliberately to prove that a man could fight the Klan, and still win public office." The Klan was strong in Akron, until that fight broke its power. And last week, twenty years later, Frank Lausche, Democratic candi- date for Governor, a Catholic, and a son of foreign (Slovenian) parents, swept Akron. May- be something of Willkie sticks in Akron, after all. (Copyright, 1944, New York Post Syndicate) made a sacrifice hit, taking votes away from Nye so Moses could score the victory . .. Moses has the best Norwegian library in North Dakota, is a great believer in Wilsonian ideals, will push permanent peace . .. Three times Governor of North Dakota, he is the first Democratic Senator ever elected from that State. Brien McMahon of Connecticut, Democrat, re- places isolationist Senator Danaher, Republican. McMahon knows the Government from A to Z, trained in the Justice Department as Assistant Attorney General, prosecuted the Harlan County coal murders, was probably the first man since the Civil War to jail any one for practicing slav- ery. He convicted an Arkansas sheriff for using Negro prisoners as his personal slaves. Clyde Hoey of North Carolina, Democrat, re- places isolationist Senator Bob Reynolds. Ad- dicted to wing collars, swallow-tailed coats and old-fashioned oratory, Hoey comes to the Sen- ate after serving in Woodrow Wilson's last Con- gress, later becoming Governor of North Caro- lina . . . Brother-in-law of #ex-Governor Max Gardner, he and Max frequently tangle in the courtroom, call each other all sorts of names be- fore the jury, walk out of court arm in arm. Governor Olin Johnston of North Carolina, Democrat, replaces the famous "Cotton Ed" Smith who, except on race questions, usually voted more Republican than Democratic. In the replacement of Smith of South Carolina and Reynolds of North Carolina, though they are Democrats, Roosevelt actuallyhgains two new Senators, since he could depend on neither of the present incumbents . . . Johnston, twice Governor of South Carolina, was born in a mill town, came up the hard way as a textile worker; is sympathetic with labor, will be a Roosevelt supporter on everything except a Federal anti- lynching bill, poll taxes, and the price of cotton. Wayne Morse of Oregon, Republican, replaces isolationist Senator Rufus Holman, will back FDR on foreign policy, also on labor, will criti- cize Roosevelt on Government efficiency . - - Dean of Law at the University of Oregon, Morse has spent about eight years helping Roosevelt solve labor problems, was a member of the War Labor Board . . . One of the few who can match the sulphurous pen of Secretary Ickes, he once began a letter to Ickes with this sentence: "Dear Sir: Your most recent communication serves only to strengthen and confirm my low opinion of you." Glen Taylor of Idaho, Democrat, replaces Senator D. Worth Clark, also a Democrat, who has frequently voted against Roosevelt, especial- ly on foreign policy. Thus FDR virtually gains a new Senator . . . Like Governor Jimmie Davis of Louisiana, Senator-elect Taylor has been a cowboy crooner, but did no crooning in this campaign. He talked straight politics, managed to beat out popular Republican Gov. Bottolfsen. Senator-elect Leverett Saltonstall, Governor of Massachusetts, Republican, is the exact opposite of cowboy crooner Glen Taylor but, on, foreign policy, they think alike. Saltonstall is a Back Bay blue stocking, very Harvard, used to row on the crew, looks like an aristocrat, acts like a real human being. Saltonstall munches candy, peanuts, has been a liberal Republican, knows what this war means, has lost a son fighting in it. When it comes to building a peace machin- ery after the war, Roosevelt has a new Senatorial supporter in Saltonstall. Homer Capehart of Indiana, Republican, is one new isolationist out of the long list of inter- nationalists now added to the Senate. The music-box king, he was featured in testimony before the Dies Committee in 1939 when some of the "super-patriots" who had been snuggling close to the Knights of the White Camellias talked about Capehart as their candidate for President. Warren Magnuson of Washington, Democrat, is one of the youngest men elected to the Senate in eight years, is 39. He has been a brilliant, hard-working booster of FDR's foreign policies in the House of Representatives. Magnuson saw service in the Navy as a lieutenant com- mander immediately after the outbreak of the war, has been one of the most useful members of the House Naval Affairs Committee. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, Democrat, is another new Senator who will give the Presi- dent plenty of support in shaping a permanent peace . . . A Rhodes scholar who jumped from president of the University of Arkansas into the House of Representatives, Fulbright had the courage, though only a rookie Congressman, to push and pass the Fulbright resolution calling for international cooperation to prevent war. His leadership forced the hand of Cordell Hull and the Administration. Senator-elect Bourke Hickenlooper, Governor of Iowa, Republican, is expected to be a better supporter of the President's foreign policy than his predecessor, Democratic Senator Guy Gil- lette, who leaned toward isolation. A good Gov- ernor of Iowa, Hickenlooper has the reputation of being a fair fighter . . . Senators who preside over the Senate will be grateful that they merely recognize "The Senator from Iowa," won't have to call out his name. In addition to the above list, some of the President's staunchest past supporters on for- eign policy, such as Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, are back on the job for another six years. So if the President doesn't write a peace that will stick, it will be his own fault. HiS Senate will not only cooperate, but probably be a bit ahead of him.

Research Club: The first meeting of the year will be held on Wednes- day evening, Nov. 15, at eight o'clock in the Amphitheatre of the Rackham Building. Professor A. Franklin Shull will read a paper on "Population From the opening chords of Men- delssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream Overture to the finale of Dvorak's Slavonic Dance, the second concert of the Choral Union Series was di- rected by a man skilled both in ar- tistry and precision. George Szell's conducting of the Cleveland Symphony was a para- gon of poetic and expressive qui- ties. So sensitive and flexible did the orchestra seem to his direction that it appeared as if an enchant- ment 'had been cast over them. The Cleveland Symphony did not use the first number as an excuse for "warming up." It launched im- mediately into its first selection and captured the delicacy and grace of the miniature overture. The Pastoral, the only symphony of Beethoven with a definite pro- gramme, was a trifle below par. Sometimes it is difficult to point to any visible aspect of a performance is a definite criticism. Such is the character of this particular music. The orchestral sections were superb- ly balanced; the stress of inner voices was well displayed. Yet the first two movements lacked a natural spon- taineity that should be a character- istic of this symphony. Especially disappointing was the flute member whose performance -impressed one as being rather mechanical. His scope was contrasted by that of the oboist who was noteworthy for his technical rnd music flexibility. The string sec tion, however, retained its pure and 'iquid tone throughout the program. The last two movements picked up and reassured an appreciative audi- ence of the orchestra's capability. The second half of the program compensated for any lack of appre- ciation that may have been felt prior to it. The wind and brass sections should be praised for a perform- ance that was fine despite the over- work placed upon them by the tre- mendous and complex orchestration of Hindemith and Strauss. Under the magnetic direction of Mr. Szell, the richness and fullness of every instrumental section was drawn out. The string section returned each time with renewed vitality. The retention of the character of the Weber themes is question- able. However, the geniis of the composition is manifested by or- chestral color and symphonic de- velopment rather than by thematic material so that it matters little to whom credit is given for melodic structure. The highlight of the evening was the interpretation of the brilliant and somewhat gro- tesque Till Eulenspiegel. This sprightly tone poem was by no means lacking in imagination and a thorough comprehension of the music. The encore, Dvorak's highly rhyth- mical Slavonic Dance was a satisfy- ing conclusion to a very enjoyable evening. -Kay Engel Thos. Marshall THE UNITED STATES once had a Vice President whose most mem- orable remark was as follows: "What this country needs is a good 5-cent cigar." If Thomas R. Marshall could return to his old haunts, he would find the subject of cigar prices pretty far down on the list of national musts, but still a problem.. Howeer, he probably would welcome the re- turn of the nickel cigar to the to- bacco counters, even though the OPA has authorized it up to 71/2 cents, two for 15. Although it's a 50 per cent advance in price, OPA thinks cigar-smokers will welcome the order, for it's a way of saving them a cool 50 million dol- lars a year. In the absence of 5-cent cigars at any price, their only resort has been 15-centers for all these months since lower-priced brands disappeared. The disciples of Tom Marshall will probably be glad to compromise on a 7%2-cent cigar, since they are also disciples of Tom Hood, who said: Some sigh for this and that; My wishes don't go far; The world may wag at will, So I have my cigar. -St. Louis Post Dispatch on Second Thought For what it may be worth: a movie called "Make Your Own Bed" was playing at a local theatre while Deri- cot piled up all that yardage against Illinois. No one can say "Too little, too Leyte" about the current Philippine drive. The Japs have dubbed MacArthur "Dugout Doug." Right now he seems to have dug in.
