ZI TIlEMg it-AN PDAILY SUNDAY, OCTIOBER13,a.194C-7 'S MAN TO MAN: Citizen Bernard Baruch HAROLD L. ICKES B "RNARD M. BARUCH has created a new profession which he practices to perfection, that of good citizenship. And he is as unosten- tatious about it as he is assiduous. When Woodrow Wilson was President and found himself with the First World War on his hands, among the first men whom he called to the service of the Nation was this same Baruch. Long before any except the most perspicacious saw war clouds lowering on the horizon prelim- inary to the late war, Bernie Baruch anticipated that trouble might lie ahead. I remember clear- ly one day at Cabinet meeting, on September 16, 1938, when the President announced that Bar- uch had offered his services if it seemed necess- ary to get ready for another war. Certainly no one in the country was better qualified to mo- bilize industry for war than this tall, handsome and very astute citizen of New York. President Roosevelt had known Baruch from the First World War. But there had been inimical in- fluences at work that were antagonistic to Bar- uch and did not want him to have any real con- nection with the administration, although he and the President had continued to be warm personal friends. When President Roosevelt set up his first "subject to change" war organization, Baruch NIGHT EDITOR: HARRY LEVINE Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. I'D RATHER BE RIGHT: Muddy Waters BY SAMUEL GRAFTON W HOSE POLITICAL head shall we hack off because of the meat shortage ? The Repub- licans have a smooth answer: The Democrats are in power, there is no meat, vote against the Dem- ocrats. Simple, and to the point; and some of the Republican papers around New York are just delighted with the meat shortage; they love it so. But maybe the theory is too simple. Just to muddy the waters, let me throw in an- other theory, pure speculation: The meat short- age is due, in great part, to the income tax sit- uation. Cattle growers made their money for the current tax year during the summer splurge. This is the last quarter; any profits made now will be taxed in the higher brackets; growers pre- fer to keep their animals until after New Year's Day. This kind of sjackening of pace has be- come a standard fall phenomenon in many lines of business; I have just spent an evening with a magazine editor who says his writers show a tendency to go on a holiday about this time of year. If fewer short stories because of taxes, why not fewer fat cattle? Some Republicans have been talking of a 2 per cent tax reduction next year; that talk may help keep cattle off the market. I won't defend the above theory quite to the point of death; if anybody twists my arm to make me drop it, I'll drop it. I bring it out only to indicate that the question of ultimate responsi- bility in a democarcy is a very complicated one. (Copyright 1946, by the N.Y. Post Syndicate) Emergencl PROVISION OF essential equipment for three emergency colleges of upstate New York has been assured by the Federal Works Administra- tion from government surplus property. These three junior colleges are the first emergency in- stitutions of higher learning for returned veter- ans to be placed in operation in the United States. Champlain College, at Plattsburg, was for over 130- years the parade ground of historic Platts- burg Army Baracks. Sampson College was form- erly a naval training station and Mohawk Col- lege at Utica, the Rhoades Army Hospital. Op- erated by the Associated Colleges of Upper New York, a non-profit corporation sponsored by the State Board of Regents, they will provide edu- cational facilities for World War II veterans and others who are qualified to enter college but who are unable to do so because of overcrowded con- ditions. It is estimated that these three emer- gency junior colleges will account for a maximum of 12,500 students who would otherwise be denied the opportunity for a college education. was not on it. By that time the influence of Harry L. Hopkins was very strong at the White House, Several shifts of the kaleidoscope produced dif- ferent patterns of the war organization but Bar- uch, notwithstanding the great contribution that he could have made, still remained out of offi- cial favor. It is a bright light on his character that this did not embitter him in any degree. Then came the rubber crisis for which Jesse Jones, then Secretary of Commerce, was respon- sible. The country was seething with dissatis- faction although the powerful Jesse Jones was able to war doc criticism of himself. In this crisis, the President turned to the one man in the country who could extricate it from this difficulty, quiet public clamor, and restore con- fidence to the Congress. He made Bernard M. Baruch Chairman of a Committee of Three to chart the course of the country with respect to rubber. At once a calm of confidence inspired by Baruch's public services and his known abil- ity and integrity of character came over the country. The rubber crisis was at an end, al- though we continued for a long time to be handi- capped seriously by Jesse Jones' gross mishand- ling of the rubber program. Of my own knowledge I know how frequently Bernard Baruch was called upon during the war to solve knotty situations and to help men high in the Government to smooth out annoying dif- ficulties. He spent most of his time in Wash- ington but when he was not here men whose names had become household words did not hes- itate to go to New York to enlist his interest in some complicated matter arising out of the war. His views were even sought eagerly by represent- atives of foreign governments. Yet he never ev- en expected any public recognition of his out- standing services nor has he had any. Others might hold high-sounding titles or listen to grandiloquent citations preliminary to the con- ferring of another decoration. Citizen Baruch has had none of these things nor has be coveted any of them. Now he is engaged in the greatest task of all Knowing that nothing is more important to the peace of the world than a wise and just solu- tion of the problem of atomic energy, he is striv- ing to reach an accord with the other nations of the world for the purpose of diverting atomic energy from war to the pursuits of peace. No one is better qualified than he is to represent America in this greatest of international under- takings. Failure to accomplish this most vital of assignments might well mean the destruction of our civilization. Believing as I do in the pa- tience, sagicity and patriotism as well as in the overriding love of humanity that possesses Ber- nard M. Baruch and has been his inspiration for so many years, I believe that he should be given the necessary elbow room to bring this negotia- tion to .a successful conclusion. The country be- lieves in the principle of the Baruch Plan. I do too. Knowing him as I do, I am confident that he would be glad to consider any modifi- cation of that plan that might improve it, or any suggestion of a variation in approach that would make it more acceptable to the other na- tions concerned. His open-mindedness is one of his outstanding characteristics. But we would neither be helping him nor ourselves if we gave the impression to the world that there was an irreconcilable difference of opinion in our own ranks, or that we were more interested in method than in result. (Ccpyright 1946, by the N.Y. Post Syndicate) y Colleges In dedication ceremonies at Champlain Col- lege, Governor Thomas E. Dewey remarked that "Three great military 'swords' are being convert- ed into educational ploughshares." He went on to say that he believed New York to be the only one of the forty-eight states that can say to its veterans: "You can get the education to which you are entitled, because we will find a place for you to get it." Champlain College starts with a faculty of 109, and will utilize the entire 700-acre expanse of the former Army barracks, with more than sixty buildings to be used for classes and dormitory purposes. The example of the enterprising Mr. Dewey and his associates might well be followed by public officials here in Michigan. It seems ob- vious that it would be better to create a few emergency junior colleges from the remaining equipment at nearby Army establishments than to jam the existing campuses to the degree now in evidence at theC University. Cindy Reagan 0 Whato pn kax For those of you who like your jazz subdued and soothing, Errol Garner's album of six piano solos is highly recommended. Garner, whose fresh new style has been somewhat of a sensa- tion in Hollywood jazz circles of late, plays in a manner vaguely reminiscent of the late Fats Waller, using a strong left hand, rather uncom- mon these days, and a full-chorded lyric right hand. Although he lacks the technical facility of Art Tatum and the simplicity and taste of Teddy Wilson, Garner's flowing rhythmic style is a welcome relief from many of the frantic "thumpers" of today. Garner plays jazz, but he also plays in a way that can be appreciated by those who are not members of the various "inner circles" and cults of le jazz hot. The six sides in this album include Embraceable You, Lover Come Back, Sometimes I'm Happy, Always, I've Got You Under My Skin. (Mercury Album No. 10) A note to those who have heard all the fuss about Dizzy Gillespie, but who haven't as yet been able to procure any of his discs. Musicraft has re-issued one of his original sides for Guild Label, Shaw Nuff and Lover Man. This record is one of Dizzy's best and will give you an idea what all this be-bop stuff is about. If you haven't heard Dizzy before, take it kind of slow with this record. It's really frantic! The latest opus by the Herman Herd is a screamer aptly called, "Blowin' Up A Storm." This platter really jumps and Bill Harris' mag- nificent trombone will blow you right out of the room. Not recommended for followers of Vaughn Monroe; Perry Como, et al. The "record renaissance" is now in full swing. Downbeat reports that 298 record companies are now in existence. Collecting contemporary jazz is getting complex to say the least. Mal Raphael - I Dominic Says IT IS HEARTENING to hear Pastor Oscar F. Blackwelder of Washington, D. C. before the United Lutherans in Cleveland say, "We church- men who count ourselves members of the old line political parties must help make vocal the hopes of men on both sides of the railroad tracks, or they will be driven into the arms of political radi- cals." A poet who adopted another country has said it thus: "Face on face in the city, and when will the faces end. Face on face in the city, but never the face of a friend. Till my heart grows sick with longing and dazed by the din of the street As I rush with the thronging thousands in a loneliness complete. Face on face in the city, and where shall our. fortunes fall? Face to face in the city-my heart goes out to you all. See, we labor together; is not the bond divine? Lo, the strength of the city is built of your life and mine." .-Anna Louise Strong There have been few times during the current century where these ideas were frought with such possible blessing or danger. The six points stressed by the pastor were: More overseas re- lief by the churches (although during this sum- mer 100,000,000 in Central Europe were fed by the Allies). Greater good will among leaders inter- national. Abundance dedicated to human need rather than scarcity dedicated to profit. See that every qualified person of any color has the right to vote in free America. Cvercome the cheapened value of life (because of universal cruelty and suffering). Bring back to the world the spirit forgiveness so that a dynamic peace can be a possibility. It is hoped that the sister bodies of Lutherans will concur; for these are issues which the masses of men can understand. Unless our western statesmen, high in authority, can be taught speedily by their spiritual leaders to talk a lan- guage for the tired ear of the millions who suf- fer, our democracies, secure both in their at- tained freedom at home and their war won ascendancy abroad, may bring down on us that last calamity of which Kipling wrote: "He that hath a gospel To loose up Mankind, Though he serve it utterly- Body, soul, and mind- Though he go to Calvary Daily for its grain- It is just the people Shall make his labor vain. He that hath a gospel Whereby Heaven is won (Carpenter of Camlier Or Maya's dreaming Son), Many swords shall pierce Him, Mingling blood with gall; But it is the people Who wound Him worst of all." -Edward W.

According to a recent Gallup Poll report, only 33% of the eligible voters in the country went to the polls in the 1942 Congressional elections. Compare this "with the recent elections in Eng- land, Canada. France, and Italy when 75 to 80% of the eligible people voted. And we are sup- posed to be the greatest of the democracies. This is a congressional election year. A whole new House of Representatives and one-third of of the Senate will be voted upon. During the past year, we have heard a great many complaints about Congress. But congress- men don't elect themselves. The people elect them. And the people get what they vote for. Unfortunately many states do not provide ab- or guardians who live out-of-state; 4) they must declare this to be their residence. In order to vote in Michigan, though, you must register before October 16. The voters of Michigan will elect a representative to Con- gress from each district; a United States Sen- ator; a governor, and other state and county officials. Three referendums to the state con- stitution are also on the ballot. If anyone is in doubt about his voting status, let him contact AVC or the Willow Run Citizen's Committee. The important thing is to register and vote. -Walt Hoffmann I BARNABY Wait- Dcn't go, m'boy. Curb the impatience of your little friend.
