Congressional Leadership

REPUBLICAN PARTY leaders have been wait-
ing many a year for the chance they will get
next January to take over the reins of the Con-
gressional chariot.
When the 80th Congress convenes, Sam Ray-
burn, Democratic Speaker of the House, will es-
cort to the presiding officer's chair Joseph W.,
Martin, Jr., veteran Congressman from Massa-
chusetts' 14th district. Rep. Martin has spear-
headed the Republican legislative program as
minority floor leader since 1939, and served as
chairman of the Republican National Committee
from 1940 to 1942.
Who will succeed to the post of majority floor
leader is up to the Republican party caucus; but
among those mentioned for the job are Clarence
J. Brown, of Ohio, Everett M. Dirksen of Illi-
nois; and Earl Michener, from this district.
Arthur Vandenberg, senior Senator from
Michigan, is the columnists' number one choice
for presiding officer of the Senate. He is in line
also for the chairmanship of the Senate Finance
and Rules Committes, and is second in senior-
ity on the Foreign Relations Committee to Sen.
Capper, of Kansas. Capper is the oldest Repub-
lican in the Senate from point of service, and
will therefore have his choice of several major
committee chairmanships. His age and his rec-
ord as a hard-working member of the farm bloc,
may point to acceptance of the Agriculture and
Forestry chairmanship, in the opinion of Prof.
James Kallenbach, of the political science depart-
ment, leaving the foreign relations post open
to Vandenberg.
Since Senate rules permit a single member to
head only one major committee, the Michigan
Senator presumably would prefer the Foreign
Relations chairmanship if he got a chance at it.

But the load might be too heavy if he became
president pro tempore, a full time job as presid-
ing officer in the absence of a Vice-President.
Wallace H. White, Jr., of Maine, is third in point
of seniority on the Foreign Relations Commit-
tee.
Sen. White is now minority floor leader in the
upper house, and may succeed to the post of
majority leader when the new Congress con-
venes. His duties as party spokesman have been
performed in large part in the present Congress
by Vandenberg and Sen. Robert Taft, of Ohio,
Prof. Kallenbach points out, so that Taft may
also be the party choice for floor leader.
Sen. Taft, who will become chairman of the
Education and Labor Committee, voted for the
farm-parity rider which brought a threat of
Presidential veto on the minimum-wage bill,
but he refused to join filibuster efforts against
the FEPC.
The two New Hampshire Senators, Styles
Bridges and Charles W. Tobey, are ranking mi-
nority members on the Military Affairs Com-
mittee and the Naval Affairs Committee respec-
tively.
Chairman of the House Military Affairs Com-
mittee will be Rep. Walter Andrews, of New
York. W. Sterling Cole, also of New York, will be
Naval Affairs Committee chairman. Both Con-
gressmen went on record in favor of military
rather than civilian control of atomic energy.
They may expect trouble from fellow New York-
er John Taber, whose succession to the top spot
on the House Appropriations Committee un-
doubtedly will mean drastic reductions in the
budgets of all executive departments-including
the Army and Navy.

On Lochner Statement

NOTHING could be more far fetched than Mr.
Lochner's statement here Thursday to the
effect that the so-called Kellog-Briand Pact
served as a basis of the war crimes trials. Ger-
man war criminals violated their own law not by
their failure to repudiate the Pact of Paris, but
by actual violations of statutory German mili-
tary law and violations of Nazi edicts on the
subject.
Goebbels declared in 1945 that American air-
men who conducted "terror raids" over German
held territory were subject to penalties under
the law, and the German Government acted ac-
cordingly in several instances. Moreover, the
Code of 1941 declared that any member of the
German armed forces who committed crimes
against civilian populations in excess of mili-
tary necessity or any person who directed such
crimes to be committed, was liable to courts mar-
tial. Indeed, the German Military Code of 1940
stated further that even if such acts were done
under superior orders, they were not thereby
excusable.
Getting back to the proposition that viola-
tions of the Kellog-Briand Pact could or could
not incriminate war criminals, it must be
pointed out that the pact, in its own words,
merely imposed a moral obligation upon sig-
natory states not to wage aggressive warfare,
the term "aggressive" nowhere being defined.
And no sanction was envisaged by the past for
states committing acts of aggression. More-
over, a positive statement to the effect that
ett

the German Government had repudiated the
pact would have been superfluous since the
positive acts of the Nazis prior to the out-
break of war only too clearly indicated the in-
terest.
As for the question of ex post facto nature of
the trials, it suffices to say that International
Law does not recognize the principle. Since the
Law of Nations is a law of a decentralized so-
ciety, without a legislature in the sense of Mu-
nicipal Law, many of the applications of Inter-
national Law must necessarily be of ex post
facto nature. For example, if an arbitration
commission is set up, it must first draw up a
"compromise" to decide upon rules of procedure
where International Law is silent upon- the
point. Such treaties and compromises of course,
become themselves the subject of International
Law.
Finally, the question of accused war criminals
acting under "superior's orders" and the im-
munity of heads. of states is ably answered by
Justice Robert H. Jackson, who said on Novem-
ber 1, 1945 in his Opening Statement for the
Prosecution: "Of course the idea that a state,
any more than a corporation, can commit a crime
is fiction. Crimes are always committed by
persons. While it is quite proper to employ a fic-
tion of responsibility of a state or corporation
for the purpose of imposing a collective liabil-
ity, it is quite intolerable to allow such a legal-
ism to become the basis of personal immun-,
ity."

BOOKS
The River Rumer Godden, 175 pages,
Little Brown & Co.
THIS IS A VERY engaging little novel about
life as seen thru the eyes of a little girl
growing up in India. Although the novel is a
short one, it was not so short that clear charac-
ter portrayals weren't possible, especially of
little Harriet; and it is also long enough to
transmit to the reader the importance of the
river to her.
The style and the words suit the topic very
nicely-they are simply expressed and naive
but very perplexed thoughts, just as they
should be in this little girl's world. This con-
struction is very realistic and convincing; it
carries you back to your days of growing up-
the confounding questions that present them-
selves to every curious child. These are the
same questions which philosophers have been
trying to answer -love and hate, life and
death-but to this child, rather than mere
words, these questions are real and frighten-
ing.
The psychological transformation is also very
realistically presented. That feeling of being
torn between two desires that all of us have
experienced-the longing to remain in a secure
childhood world and the intriguing anticipation
.of the future. There are normally three of these
battles which one must win in order to attain
adulthood: at the end of babyhood, at the be-
ginning of adolescence, and at the end of adol-
escence when the first consciousness of sex
brings its problems and frustrations.
The river which flowed in back of her house
emptying into the Bengal Bay helped her out
of her dilemna. Although when first her favorite
pet and then her younger brother die making
her think that life itself had ended, she would
always hear the familiar puff-pause-puff of the
steamboats. When other difficulties beset her,
she went down to her private nook in the river
for consolation and watch the burial ashes float
down the never ending stream or the endless
chain of passengers on the boats. Although she
had her individual deaths, life still continued on
the river.

onilnie Says
THERE IS A GENUINE test of democracy ev-
erywhere. Liberals have suffered a drama-
tic defeat. The Roosevelt era has gone on a
vacation. What of it? It demands first, that
those who were defeated shall accept the fact
and sincerely try to attain democratic security
and freedom without the controls to which all
have become accustomed. Whereas there has
been held before us a series of ideals framed by
important officials as the hope of humanity, we
must now look to volunteers, if not to automatic
forces to guide us.
In religion, as in politics, there is a "return
to normalcy". Orthodoxy has the center of the
religious stage. The Youth-For-Christ cam-
paigns in cities have been commanding large
crowds. In several cities conservative Pro-
testants have introduced a release of children
from public school to attend church classes.
A bill before Congress proposes not only fed-
eral subsidy for public education but also for
parachoial schools. Only a few of the general
parochial schools. Only a few of the general
cil and the International Council of Religious
Education, have been able to widen their basis
of membership since the war.
Regardless of the idealism with which we car-
ried forward the conflict phases of the war,
there has been taking place,, since V-J day, the

very pattern of dispair which controlled us in
1919 and 1920. Once more we must revert to
the supposed law of supply and demand in econ-
omics and to a modified isolationism in political
relations. The vast lobbies which have halted
efforts at housing, relaxation of the Poll-tax and
increased use of collective bargaining, will now
write the legislation. Only a new sense of so-
cial obligation can save a score of great reforms.
The general unrest and confusion of this post-
war era is registering our absurdities at least a
year or two earlier than was the case following
World War I. Small solace, you say. Yes, but if
education is the only way to meet catastrophy,
as H. G. Wells insisted, then this is what must
be done. We can teach well twenty-five years
to shorten post-war hysteria one year.
It will be some gain for every student to read
the current debates in liberal as well as in con-
servative magazines and to examine his own re-
ligion as a daily memorial to the four hundred-
fifty fellow students at Michigan who sleep in
war graves. Having put control into the hands
of men who at home defeated regulation of
prices on food, housing, clothing and given our
place in reconstruction to men who mistakenly
discourage the will to peace abroad, we now pos-
sess a social experiment of vast magnitude and
as dangerous as the Atomic Bomb.

Union Cafeteria
To th Editor:

The letter on the Student (?) Union encourag-
es mec t: "put in my nickels' worth." There are
many reasons why the cafeteria service may not
be what it was in the past, but surely there is
no excuse for the utter filth that exists! The
°arved table-tops are a tradition of so long ago
that I certainly do not want them changed, but
the very existence of the sacred tradition de-
mands more minute care in cleanliness. I have
yet to find a table upon which I have not had to
move the remains of a predecessor's repast: push-
ing away dirty trays, food-scarred dishes, crump-
led paper napkins, cigarette butts, etc. Having
cleared a place to put my collection, I find my
sleeve stuck to yesterday's jam on the table-
edge! The tables on the right side dining room,
as one enters, have more egg-yokes, jam-spots,
grease-smears, milk stains, and like booby-traps
than in the other dining room-a dubious honor
to say the least.
There is something strange about that collec-
tion of bobby-soxers who flit, dirty dish-cloth in
hand, among the sticky tables. Are they sup-
posed to be "bus-boys"-the cleanup squad? If
so, they do a first-class job of mess'n up an al-
ready messy mess! A constructive suggestion, I
think, is to get someone on the job to keep the
dining rooms cleaned up-more help, or more
efficient!
As for the manner in which the foodwis serv-
ed, the graciousness and etiquette from salad-girl
to cashier leaves me speechless; let someone else
tackle that. Is it supposed to be a Student Un-
ion? Great heavens! I always supposed it was
a burlesque of How to Alienate People Hotel Man-
agement Plan!

Jazz At the Philharmonic No. 2: Four 12"
sides, Blues For Norman and I Can't Get
Started.
BLUES OPENS WITH needle-like trumpet by
Howard McGhee who plays fine be-bop horn
with more continuity than Dizzy Gillespie. Les-
ter "The Prez" Young takes off next with his
fluid tenor sax and blows about the best stuff
on the whole disc. The rest of the record fea-
tures work by Willie Smith, alto, Arnold Ross,
piano, Charlie Parker, alto, and Al Killian, a
Barnet man, on trumpet. I Can't Get Started
has more tasty McGhee and Lester, a smooth,
relaxed solo by Willie Smith that contrasts nice-
ly to the shrill curious alto work of be-bopper
Charlie Parker. Lee Young's drumming holds
the group together with a very solid unobstru-
sive beat. This album is far from sensational,
lacking the drive and punch of the first album
in the Norman Granz series. (Disc)
Bobby Sherwood, Sherwood Forest (Capitol):
This supposedly is the latest thing in ultra-
modern jazz. Granted that it is a colorful and
well-executed arrangement, but it is another at-
tempt to blend jazz with the works of the mod-
ern "serious" composers-aid Stravinsky's Fire-
bird had better treatment years ago by the Phil-
adelphia Orchestra.
Artie Shaw Plays Cole Porter: The quality of
Shaw's music must fluctuate with his marital
status. These records sound meiore like Andre
Kostelanetz that the Shaw of Beguine The Be-
guine and Back Bay Shuffle fame. Artie has
added a flute, oboe, and tremendous string sec-
tion to his band and the results certainly are
not jazz. Moments of I've Got You Under My
Skin sound like the old Shaw, but the rest of
the sides in this album are strictly commercial.
Pleasant listening, however. (Musicraft)
