Emergency
THE unprecedented number of veterans coming
back to college, particularly at this University,
has created a situation well termed by the fa-
vorite label of the depression era: emergency.
An emergency request for six million dollars has
been sent to Governor Kelly. Emergency hous-
ing is being constructed here and/or moved to
Ann Arbor in every possible way. There can be
no doubt about the exigency of the need for ex-
panded facilities.
But it is at just such times as these, that
the near-impossible must be done: we must
"get perspective" on ourselves, and on what we
are doing under the heat of the emergency. For
the multiple expansion of today can all too
well prove to be the "all" with which the Uni-
versity will be forced to function in the future.
Fortunately in the matter of laboratory equip-
ment and new buildings, the University has
planned well in advance, giving ample care and
time to their long-range needs. Proposals for
new buildings and so forth have been drawn up
over a period of years, revised as they were re-
fused legislative appropriations. In housing, how-
ever, the impact of expansion has been so tre-
mendous, so far beyond what seemed before
logical, that there is danger of jerry-built meas-
ures which may, in the long run hurt the Uni-
versity. The situation is further complicated by
the present difficulty of providing almost any
kind of housing as needed.
The proposed transfer of temporary housing
for 1,000 veterans, is a case in point. There is
every indication that these units will come
from Willow Village, Ypsilanti. They are de-
scribed as two-story frame affairs with stucco
exteriors. No one would deny their temporary
nature. Nor could anyone deny the immedi-
ate need for housing. The danger lies in the
rhetorical question "how long is temporary?"
Provisions for temporary housing, limited by
law to a specified tenure, are yet all too likely to
be here till they collapse. Low cost, low type
housing will always find pressure groups ready
to defend and push through the extension of
such laws, maintaining the areas as profitable
slums.
The University must be doubly sure that the
temporary housing will be destroyed in time,
that they are never allowed to be so much as
considered for private ownership.

Clothing Drive

BOXES-boxes-boxes! The well-known chant
of a local radio advertiser may well describe
the situation, soon to be of clothing stores. Even
now, wearing apparel is available more and more
readily, and people are taking advantage of
slightly-relaxed price control of the clothing in-
dustry. A student-buying spree is evidenced by
the new duds being sported on campus.
The discarded clothes, being replaced by the
new, may still be made useful by being do-
nated to the Victory Clothing Collection. Na-
tional goal is 100,000,000 articles of wearing
apparel for the people who have lost homes,
clothing, almost everything in the past years of
war.
Last spring Ann Arbor's contribution of 100,-
000 pounds of clothing was collected and was
made available to the needy in Europe by early

THE RECENT BAN on the broadcast of all for-
eign music, except from Canada, issued by
James C. Petrillo, American Federation of Musi-
cians president, and the union leader's personal
fight with Prof. Joseph E. Maddy, will at last
gain the attention of Congress when it recon-
venes Jan. 14.
A bill, H.R. 4737, to prevent control of broad-
casting by coercive practices, introduced by Rep.
Clarence F. Lea, Cal., on Nov. 19, 1945, with
additional amendments to the Communications
Act of 1934, will be brought before the House at
an early session. Previously referred to the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
the bill contains sections relative to 1) Coercion
to compel hiring employees not wanted by em-
ployer, 2) Coercion to compel payment of tribute
for use of broadcasting materials and, 3) Coer-
cion to prevent participation of noncompensated
employees.
Sec. 506 of the proposed amendment states
that "any person who willfully coerces, com-
pels, or constrains . . . an owner, operator, or
other person having control of a broadcasting
station . . . or otherwise attempts to coerce
such a person against his will, to pay or com-
pensate or to employ ... or to pay more than
once for services performed . . . in connection
with radio broadcasting of sound or television,
shall be guilty of a felony and, . . . punishable
by imprisonment of not more than two years
or by a fine of not more than $5,000, or both."
This section directly attacks two tendencies of
the dictatorial AFM czar. First, Petrillo's "closed
shop" tactics on the air have been viewed by
many people as an effort to obtain maximum
employment for the AFM membership. Dr.
Maddy's statement about the Interlochen dis-
pute, to the subcommittee on Interstate Com-
merce of the Senate,. will, however, clarify this
point.
'N THIS REPORT, Dr. Maddy has contrasted
the Chicago musicians' local membership of
3,000 in 1918 with Petrillo's estimate of a total
membership of 11,000 in that same city in 1943.
Of the first number, approximately 800 earned
their entire livelihood by their musical services,
while in, 1943, the regularly employed members
numbered 6,600; thus, in Chicago, there were
eight times as many fully employed union musi-
cians in 1943 as in 1918 prior to the advent of
radio, sound film and the juke box.
While many members of the musicians union
do not expect or desire to obtain full time em-
ployment or to earn their entire livelihood by
musical performance, they must join the union
in order to be able to play even an occasional
engagement. Furthermore, membership is open
to anyone who is willing to pay the initiation fee
and dues, without regard to skill or ability.
The second aspect of this section of the
proposed amendment concerns the future ex-
pansion of frequency modulation stations
throughout the United States. As of Aug. 1,
1945, approximately 444 applications for FM
commercial broadcast stations had been filed,
whereas 53 stations already are licensed or
permitted to use FM. The University has filed
an application for a non-commercial, educa-
tional FM station which would present public
service programs in cooperation with a net-
work of similar educational stations through-
out the state.
ONE of the primary purposes of frequency
modulation is to bring education down to a
local level, i.e., certain educational programs
would permit discussion of local and national
issues similar to the traditional New England
Town Hall meetings.
As yet Mr. Petrillo has not proclaimed FM as
a detriment to mankind, however, he has pro-
posed to make FM operators pay a second time
for any musical program that has been previ-
ously broadcast over a nation-wide hook up.
Thus, if the Boston Symphony where to broad-
cast a concert over CBS, and this same program
was re-broadcast by an FM station in Fall River
or Worcester, Mr. Petrillo would have the FM
station pay the union members for another per-
formance. This directly violates the clause con-
cerning anyone who attempts "to force a radio

operator to pay more than once for services per-
fomed" and is, therefore, in the terms of the
proposed amendent a "felony."
The effect of the AFM czar's ban - Inter-
lochen, stoppage of the making of all phono-
graph recordings and transcriptions, his rule
about stand-by orchestras, as well as strikes
at individual radio programs or stations that
dare to offend him-has been cumulative.
R. PETRILLO previously has admitted before
laSenate subcommittee, that he had the
power personally to alter the constitution and
by-laws of the A.F.M, and to spend all the money
in its treasury without accounting or reporting
to anyone. This autocratic power over the affairs
of the union is supported by the by-laws of the
union. The union, in its turn, is scared of
Petrillo's vengeance, for he has the power to ex-
pel any member of any local without reason or
trial.
This is the power which Dr. Maddy has been
fighting personally since the Interlochen dis-
pute. The forthcoming hearing of this radio

music professor on Jan. 15 in Chicago is planned
to test this power of the musicians' union czar.
Whereas locals have much to fear in the possi-
bility that they may lose their membership, stu-
dents in an institution of higher learning which
upholds one of the main freedoms, freedom of
speech, can actively support Dr. Maddy in his
attempt to break up racketeering in the musi-
cians' union.
Send letters and telegrams to the A.F.M.
local in your home town protesting the refusal
of the national executive committee for an
open hearing on Dr. Mddy's case, as well as
petitions to your Congressmen for the immedi-
ate passage of H.R. 4737 and a similar bill in
the Senate, "with teeth" in it.

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
Organic View
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
MR. TRUMAN has set the stage for his fight
with Congress in the most formal and elab-
orate way; he has done all but issue engraved
invitations and print reserved seats. For the
first time since he has come into office, he has
chosen the weapons, the time and place. It all
makes a kind of story, for the modest little man
from Missouri did not want this fight; he is an
ex-Congressman, who loves the Congressional
way of life far more dearly than the executive;
and he has put this fight off, and put it off, until
his own reputation for leadership has suffered
because he has put it off.
The first point, then, is that the fight is prob-
ably unavoidable; if Mr. Truman could not avert
it, perhaps no man living could have averted it.
We must at once sweep aside all personal ex-
planations of the coming struggle, such as the
charge which used to be levelled at Mr. Roosevelt
that he fought Congress because he wanted to
be a dictator. The prospect of becoming a dic-
tator would so obviously make Mr. Truman
either cringe, or giggle, or both, that it is im-
possible to dust the old chestnut off and use it
again; the President's day-dreams quite obviously
revolve more around the hope of giving up power
than of expanding it.
If he has scheduled a bout with Congress, it
is because it has become impossible to carry on
the business of being President without doing
so. It has become as necessary to have the
issue out as it is for the President to put on his
clothes in the morning, and go down to the
executive office.
AND SO it is our duty to approach this struggle
in the largest possible terms, to understand
that this is no isolated incident, but.the present
form of an old fight; one in which the forces
involved are so vast that they make nothing at
all of personalities, but sweep men along like
chips and shavings. The issue is whether the
United States is to have a President and a policy
during a time of national crisis; or whether it
is to be an undoctored patient, an ailing pachy-
derm inert on its side and unattended, watched
by the bright eyes of men who feel that the tusks
and the hide will retain their value, though the
rest of the creature may suffer unmitigated pain,
perhaps even the hugest bellyache in history.
The question is whether they are going to
try to cure the animal, or quarrel over the fat-
test parts; and all our past is bound up in the
fight, our individualism, and our strong feeling
that it is proper to take advantage of the shift-
ing economic cycle.
So may individuals feel, and act, but for a
President of all the people, there is no choice;
he must try for a cure; he must take the organic
and not the partial view. Thus it is that Mr.
Truman has evolved his labor compromise,
calling for compulsory fact-finding to get at the
truth of labor disputes, and perhaps avert them,
and thus is it that he calls for full employment,
to kee us at work, and for a continuation of
price control and of priorities, to prevent a wild,
individualistic, inflationary scramble.
It does not matter that his name is Truman,
and that he is opposed by a number of Demo-
crats and Republicans; what matters is that
we have a choice between a program which

might unify us, and one which could scatter
us; one which might hold us together and one
which, to use a word of dreadful connotations,
might atomize us.
The question is whether we are to be a nation
or not, or perhaps whether we are to be a nation
again, as we were during the war; we are to find
out whether the unifying forces in our life are
stronger than the forces of dispersal. It may
seem strange that a mild and modest man, one
Harry S. Truman, should turn out to be the
one to ask the question. But isn't it the point,
rather, that the question cannot be put down,
that it will be asked; that no matter how cleverly
men may try to bury it in committee, or file it,
or hide it, or postpone it, it will still be asked?
The voice asks whether we are to be a com-
munity, concerned about all its members, or
whether we are to be fragmented and divided;
and the question is unshakable, and comes, as
ever, like a roar, though it drops this time
from the lips of the meekest of men.
