ACCORDING TO LEDERLE:
Little Hope for

Third Party

3
E

By PHYLLIS KAYE
"If labor should form a third party
with the PAC as a nucleus, I do not
believe they would have any effective
influence on the 1948 presidential
election," Prof. John W. Lederle of
the political science department
stated yesterday.
Our two-party system is such
that we have to have catch-all par-
ties whose job it is to bring togeth-
er loose combines of sectional, eco-
nomic and social groups embody-
ing a variety of opinions, he
claimed. Neither organized labor
nor any other single group is large
enough to constitute one of two
major parties.
"The present party programs,"
Prof. Lederle continued, "may con-
tain some ideological concepts, but
they aren't and never have been
based solely on one set of beliefs. In.
order to have a large enough follow-
ing, they must include all shades of
opinion. The essence of politics is
compromise.
So far, in American, he declared,
we have not dividedon class lines.
Labor. has not engaged in strict
ideological arguments, ut has
concentrated on tangible gains in
the form of higher wages, shorter
hours, protection of the right to
organize and to bargain collective-
ly.
"If I sense present labor thinking,"
Prof. Lederle said, "miany leaders,
particularly John L. Lewis and the
reinvigorated A. F. of L. are trying
to get away from the encircling arms
of the federal government. With the
government's embrace has come gov-
ernment control and responsibility
which they find irritating. The reac-
tion is to get government out of la-
bor and to avoid undue ties with ex-
isting political parties, and certainly
not to set up a 'labor' party."
Labor can't avoid concern about
politics any more than can busi-
ness or agriculture. To insure that
public policy is favorable to labor,
he added, labor wisely supports in-
tensive organization of its own
Suppernar Will
Be Held at Hillel
The B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation
will hold its first intercultural "sup-
pernar" at 5:30 p.m. Sunday at the
foundation.
The "suppernar" includes a cost-
supper and discussion. The topic will
be "Our Nation: An Experiment in
Cultural Democracy."
Students who will lead in the dis-
cussion are Julius P. Whitsitt, a for-
mer president of the Student Re-
ligious Association; Tom West, presi-
dent of the Congregational-Disciples
Guild; and Stuart Goldfarb, a mem-
ber of the Hillel Student Council.
Reservations for the "suppernar"
can be made before 5:30 p.m. Friday.
Interviews To Be
Held For Camp Jobs
Miss Helen J. McRae, District Field
Secretary for Camp Fire Girls, Inc.,
in this region will be here tomorrow
and Fiday to confer with girls who
are interested in professional jobs
with Camp Fire Girls or in serving
as camp counselors.
All girls who are interested in this
organization can meet Miss McRae
at the Michigan League tomorrow
between 3 and 5 p.m., or can make
appointments through the Bureau
of Appointments, 201 Mason Hall, on
Friday, March 29.
Lebanov-Rostov Will
Give Russian Views

Sponsored by the League of Wom-
en Voters, Prof. Andrew Lebanov-
Rostov of the history department will
speak on the topic "The Interna-
tional Situation as seen by Russia" at
4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Rackham Am-
phitheatre.
Prof. William B. Willcox, also of.
the history department, will preside
at the lecture and will introduce the
speaker. Mrs. Samuel P. Dana,
president of the Ann Arbor chapter
of the League of Women Voters will
open the meeting.
The lecture is open to the public.
Red Cross Donations Due
House presidents are to have their
individual and house Red Cross con-
tributions turned in no later than 4
p.m. today in the Social Director's
office of the League.

group to apply pressure such as
Labor's Non-partisan League, the
PAC. The regular politicians are
tough babies and they listen to or-
ganized pressure.
"For labor to change from a policy
of pressure upon existing parties to
secure tangible objects to a policy of
independent political action through
a party of its own to secure ideologi-
cal objects would be a great mistake,"
Prof. Lederle reiterated. "The Ameri-
can political environment, largely be-
cause of the method of electing the
president and because of the single-
member district system of selecting
other officials, favors a two-party
system. Third parties have practi-
cally not chance of nation-wide sup-
port and dwindle before they catch-
on."
A recent example of a third
party which has finally decided to
return to the fold, he pointed out,
is Wisconsin's Progressive Party,
which went out of business just
last week.
"In the absence of wide class-con-
sciousness and cohesiveness on the
part of labor, there would be no
hance of getting and holding suffi-
?ient support to win elections. The
labor group is composed of all types
cf political opinions and any labor
party would have to compromise and
find a formula for keeping the vari-
ous sections together," Prof. Lederle

eontentc(l.d
Labor's best bet is to bargain
with existing parties, he claimed,
devoting its energies to neminating
pro-labir candidates in the pri-
mtaries, oitF;eaIh party', andC then us-
ing_, the m~ii.et buds of the pressure
group to get what it wants. A party
realignment ca i be brought about
as well by working from within as
by starting- independently from
scratch. Scrapping old party names
and il'Yalties is v;astet ul; the old
mbols shoul he utiized.
'The PAC mai a mnistak .in get-
ting too cloe t the Democrats in the
recent ion' s,"rof. Lederie con-
eluded. "What they should do in the
fut re is to ally themselves with
neither party, but play one against
the other in order to gain what hey
desire."
Strike.Three!
The current strike fever is vis-
ibly spreading, as yesterday after-
noon a group of pickets were seen
in the h1Im of te Unisity El-
ementar ho bearing the
words, "The Tird Grade is out
on strike for more playtime.",,
The otcome of the strike was
taiekly arbitrated as teachers
broke their picket lne and herded
the strikers back to their classes.

Officers Train for
Latin-American Duly
Prof. Arthur S. Aiton, a World War
I sergeant, has the enjoyable job of
putting 70 Army field grade officers
through their scholastic paces here.
Study South America
As director of the University's Post-
Hostilities Training Program for the
Latin-American Area, he sees that
his biass-studded charges-all ma-
jors, lieutenant eolonels or colonels
---take schooling in concentrated
lots.
We give them massive doses of lan-
guage and area studies," the Pro-
fessor said, and by means of oral re-
ports and strict grading the commit-
tee obliges the officers to toe the
mark.
Students Screened For Course
Students are specially screened
from almost every type of Army unit
to tackle the tough training course.
The firs't 14 weeks of work is devoted
to economic, cultural and social
"area" studies. Then the students
swing into a concentrated twelve-
week language program in which
they spend 33 hours a week in class
studying Spanish, Portuguese or
French.
The officers are destined for mili-
tary missions or for positions as at-
taches in Latin America. The rigor-
cuts course, of studies was designed
with anud of making them thor-
oughly conve.sat with conditions
they'll meet in Latin America accord-
ing to Prof. A it on. "This way, we
have an assurance that the men
know what they are doing" he said.
U. S. Seeking Specialists
The U. S. now is working at top
speed to build up a backlog of South
American specialists, but soon they'll
retard the rate of studying and make
the course yearly with an M.A. de-
gree.
The course is similar to one at Yale
where ranking Army men study Asia
and at Columbia where they study
Europe.

HORRORS!
Saginaw Youth
Attend Movies
Of Adventure
Saginaw youngsters from the ages
of 6 to 12 are now joining the
"Young Adventurers' Club" and at-
tending'a series of Saturday morning
adventure films rather than the hor-
ror epics offered by the local thea-
ters.
The series is being presented by the
Saginaw center of the University
Extension Service, under the direc-
tion of Michael Church, using films
provided by the Extension Service
Bureau of Visual Education. It start-
ed March 2, and attendance increased
so rapidly that negotiations are now
being made for a larger building in
which to show the films.
Movies on mountain climbing,
shark fishing, travel and other topics
of interest to "young adventurers"
are given. After each show, a talk is
given by a Saginaw citizen on some
phase of adventure either far-off or
at home.

Readin', Writin', and 'Rithmetic
Give Way to Progressive Trend

"To an increasing degree much of
the work of the elementary school is
being carried on by a type of class-
room organization called 'unit of
work'," Dr. G. Max Wingo, Principal
of University Elementary School,
said in an interview recently.
The "unit of work" plan was de-
vised to combat the traditional
elementary school curriculum with
its rigid subject-matter organiza-
tion and lack of pupil participation
in planning and evaluation, he
continued.
The teacher's problem, Dr. Wingo
explained, is not how to develop in-
terest in reading or arithmetic. His
problem is to discover those areas of
experience which already have inter-
est for children, to help them plan
and carry out activities which have
educational possibilities, and which
children would not be able to do
without adult suggestions and help.
If it is apparent that only the teach-
er sees any possibilities, the pro-
posed unit had better be abandoned
in favor of something else.
"It is doubtful that a good unit
of work can be developed in ele-
mentary education on the basis of
printed material alone. Such units
invariably become bookish and
academic. The teacher must inves-

tigate and discover sources that
are adequate and interesting to
the children."
One of the problems facing the
elementary school, Dr. Wingo said, is
that of finding ways in which the
common school skills may be devel-
oped so they have meaning for chil-
dren.

Officers chosen for this semester
are: Otto Stahl, supreme council
man; John Anderson, president; L.
J. Hetenyi, vice-president; Robert
Holland, secretary-treasurer; Roger
Hauenstein, historian; and Marvin
Bostrom, warden.
Before the war, the group's activi-
ties included the presentation of
membership concerts, featuring an
annual program of American music,
social events and establishing con-
tacts for members. The club expects
to revive these traditional functions
with the presentation of a concert
some time this spring.
