THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUND1A, . m!j'w-OWA Miners' UNDER THE COAL contract which John L Lewis declared to be non-existent as'of las Wednesday, miners were paid $1.18%/ an hou: In a five day 54 hour week, a miner earne $59.25. In a 40 hour week, he made $47.40. Lewis has not stated any definite demand But the general assumption is that he is look ing to the time when the miner will return t the 40 hour week and $47.40. He wants wag raised to the point where in a 40 hour wee] the miner will continue to earn $59.25. $59.25 a week is far from an outrageous sun as everyone who occasionally visits a grocer store will tell you. $59.25 a week doesn't g very far when milk is 22 cents a quart, eggs7 cents a dozen, and the cheapest cuts of meat 4 ONE OF THE outstanding problems to be face by the 80th Congress of the United Stat when it convenes on January 3, 1947, will k that of housing. In passing measures for veteran's preferen< in housing, the 79th Congress gave existing Fe eral housing agencies a great deal of money f deal with the immediate problem, but the A< ministration sponsored Wagner-Ellender- Ta General Housing Bill providing for a long-ranE federally directed program encouraging largi scale development of moderate-rental housir was allowed to die in the House Committee c Banking and Currency after being passed I the Senate. Since a recent Bureau of the Census survey of almost 12 million veterans shows that th4 average veteran cannot afford more than $4 for rent or more than $5,500 for a house, it is essential that the Nation's builders pro- duce huge quantities of homes and apartment at moderate prices or rentals. In order to meet the tremendous needs of ti middle and lower income groups for low co housing, financial aids to private enterpri must be provided which will make such buildir attractive and profitable. Inasmuch as the Wagner-Ellender-Taft B contains a series of aids to private enterpri which would enable it to fulfill the housing r quirements of the great middle and lower it come markets private enterprise has never bee able to meet alone, passage of the bill by tl 80th Congress would serve to overcome manyc Pay Data, cents a pound. To say nothing of clothing prie- st es. It gets cold in Pennsylvania. r. Whatever we may think of Lewis' methods, d we cannot deny that the miners are entitled to the raise he obviously wants. To send Lewis to jail will not solve any problem. It will only cre- s. ate more, for the entire CIO conceivably might - go out in sympathy strikes. to The poor have large families. Many men with es small families have been quitting Washington k, and government posts because they could not live on $10,000 a year. Congressmen have voted n, themselves a raise; they now get more than ry $10,000 a year. ;o In a 40 hour week under the now non-existent 75 contract, a miner would make $2,464.80 a year. 40. --Eunice Mintz , st Housing the obstacles retarding our present housing pro- gram. Under the provisions of the W.E.T. Bill, the Government would guarantee a minimum re- turn on investments in large-scale building. Thus, insurance companies, banks and other firms would be encouraged to enter the rental- building field-a field on which many veterans have pinned their hopes for adequate housing. Other provisions of the bill provide for ex- pansion of FHA insurance of loans for new con- struction from the present 90 per cent to 95 per cent, Federal assistance to communities to provide 125,000 units of low-rent public housing for four years to persons who cannot afford pri- vate housing, technical and research aids to help reduce the cost of housing, and Government aid to communities in clearing and improving blighted slum areas. While under consideration by the 79th Con- gress, most of the opposition to the W.E.T. Bill stemmed from the fact that opponents erroneously considered it solely a public hous- ing measure devoid of aid for private enter- prise. Nothing could be further from the truth for the bulk of the bill is designed to stimu- late and help private enterprise to reach a greater part of the housing market than it has thus far been able to do. In the-final analysis, the General Housing Bill is not an omnipotent panacea to the nation's housing problem, but rather a carefully formu- lated program capable of benefiting all Ameri- cans. -Joe Frein On Unseating Bilbo Although I disagree completely with the views held by Senator Bilbo and although I have al- ways fought race prejudice in all its vicious forms, I am against the present move contem- plated by the Republicans to prevent Bilbo from taking his seat in the new Congress. In the first place, the action would serve to strengthen greatly Bilbo's hand in Mississippi. He could then say to the voters back home: "See. What did I tell you? The 'damnyankees' have denied me my rightful seat in the Senate." If a new election were called, Bilbo would hold himself up to the voters as a persecuted martyr and would be swept back into office. In the second place, it is a very dangerous precedent for the Senate to refuse to seat any elected representative because of his views, even though those views be contrary to democratic principles.. Senator Pepper, when he was in Ann Ar- bor, said that he would be against ousting Bil- bo because he was afraid that those who did not like his (Pepper's) views would want him ousted next. Senator Pepper was right. If the Senate refused to seat one man because of his views, it would not hesitate to unseat others. Senator Bilbo undoubtedly did foment racial discrimination in the Mississippi Democratic primary last July as charged, but the way td combat discrimination is to make laws against it, not to gag those who unfortunately believe in it. In our quest for tolerance, we cannot af- ford to become intolerant even of those who preach intolerance. If we do, wp will be de- feating our very purpose. Congress is supposed to represent the Amer- ican voters, and, sad commentary that it is, Mr. Bilbo does represent the majority of peo- ple who vote in Mississippi. . It is true that all of the people are not allowed to vote in Mississippi, but the way to correct this is not for Congress to deny Bilbo his seat but for it to get busy abolishing the poll tax and the white primary. We cannot beat Bilbo by taking away his right to speak and to hold office, however much we might like to. We can only beat him by fight- ing race prejudice, through the democratic methods of free discussion. To this end let us use all the resources and energies at our com- mand. "Whoever knew truth to be bested in an open fight?" -Walt Hoffman lonfileSays THERE IS A longing for that grasp on reality which will be commensurate with the blood, sweat, and tears of our immediate past. The students in our classes at deep problems of his- tory and infinity and counselees seeking to un- derstand situations of their own peculiar selves, are not play boys; nor are they practical men superficially anxious to find the right profession. They are such seekers as find that few themes are profound enough to satisfy. With such a generation of students how shall the church reinforce the University and the classroom serve the altar? Tradition has its contribution to make for it gives youth a .cultural structure. "It does not matter that the young men now throng- ing the University are thinking of secular hon- ors and training for world power...these stone fortresses proclaim their ancient purpose, and one can imagine them inhabited by scholars who in silent isolation are carrying on the sacred quest . . . Oxford is a creation of the Church." .In his STUDENT'S DIARY so wrote the late Paul Elmer More, scholar, author, and a great literary force by means of the INDEPENDENT, the NEW YORK EVENING POST, and THE NATION of which he was the editor. In Oxford religious faith stimulated the in- tellect and encouraged the life of reason and young More by that tradition was sustained and enriched. The University of Michigan, to the general public seeming to be so far from the sanctions of religious faith, has a tradition nearer to that of the great British student center than to any of the vast agencies of commerce, government, or industry which engage our people beyond this campus. But tradition alone does not make a Uni- versity nor can the silent influences of great former scholars satisfy inquiring minds. Into that structure, somewhat like the vitalizing sap of the growing plant in spring, must flow the creative spirit of hundreds of faculty persons who, because they live out on the rim of the known, can make youth engage in the quest for truth. Let none of us draw heavy lines of demarkation between the sacred and the secular. When Pas- teur, amzong those sheep in France, predicted by his laboratory experiments freedom from deadly bacteria in the milk which millions of babies would drink thereafter, he was erasing that line. It is the business of scholarship to press the sacred beyond-and transform the secular. Here then, is the two-fold challenge to religious leaders. Can we get our youth to see and feel the whole life as God's domain? Also can we inspire the genius within every growing person to keep clear the vision as did Paul El- mer More? From his desk for half a century he interpreted the inner motivations of men as the will of God and fought in the ethical battles on many fronts for goodness itself and the love of virtue for its own sake. 'Following such a struggle as has been made in our decade for freedom from Fascism, no less can be called either religious or Christ-like. (See "The Christ of the New Testament"). -Edward W. Blakeman Counselor in Religious Education JOHNNY Guarnieri, All The Things You Are, Carioca(Majestic): Two piano solos by a much under-rated artist. Guarnieri, an ex-member of both the Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw bands, plays competently both jazz and classical mu- sic. On All The Things he combines the jazz idiom with Eighteenth Century fugal concep- tions and, amazingly enough, builds something that is quite listenable. ONE BASS HIT (Parts I and II), That's Earl Brother, Oop Bop S'Bam (Musicraft): Here are two currently available records that mirror the genius of Trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Be-bop jazz as played by. its foremost virtuoso, Dizzy Gillespie, represents a new and exciting trend in contemporary jazz music. This progressive jazz form is based on the use of more or less revolutionary harmonic conceptions, intricate and unusual phrasings, and a violence and tenseness that is never, found in "purist" jazz. Use of whole-tone intervals and progressions, unorthodox chord extensions, frequently minor sevenths with associated minor ninths played in unexpected places and in unique progres- sions, are some of the characteristics of be-bop Jazz. Gillespie's melodic line can never be an- ticipated and his solos are full of startling turns and unexpected embellishments of his own cre- ation. Listening to Dizzy is really an intellec- tual experience. I think that Dizzy Gillespie is great. I feel that he plays a lot more horn than Bix or Louis ever did. His technical facility is extraordinary, his range tremendous. Althouglit this statement may seem inconsistent with objective criticism, I feel that progressive futuristic jazz of this type is vastly more interesting, more stimulat- ing, and better music than the so-called "purist" jazz. Dave Tough, who is no "square," calls Dixieland jazz "harmonically infantile, devoid of embellishments and interesting chord con- nections and, all in all, scaled to the level of musicians with meagre technique." Will any- one rise to the defense?" -Malcolm Raphael Publication in The Daily Official Bul- letin is constructive notice to all mem- bers of the University.

ANYONE INTERESTED in politics and great people will find "The Roosevelt I Knew" an illuminating book. Those looking for style will be disappointed; the style is rather awkward, there is no subtlety, and the coherence is rather weak. But as a rambling account of Roosevelt and The Roosevelt Era, it is good. This is not properly a biography; it is admittedly a bias- ed account of Roosevelt taking in only the last thirty-five years of his life-the years in which Miss Perkins knew him. Rather than a biography, this is a book which traces the de- velopment of Roosevelt from a dull pompous, rather unpromising, young politician to the great president with his winning personality, his love for all kinds of people, and his pro- gressive ideas-at once, an extremely complex, sophisticated personality and a simple, naive one. Miss Perkins vividly shows the cause and the unfolding of each step in the advance of this great character. She attributed his spiritual force to his seemingly disastrous paralysis-in fact, she stated that it was probably the best thing that could have happened to him. He achieved determination of purpose, a humility, and a sympathetic understanding of human problems which before this disaster he was al- most completely devoid of. These were the qual- ities which endeared him to the common man. This maturation which continued until his death seems worth reading because of this unique sym- pathetic portrayal of Miss Perkins' friend and boss. This is a view which only Miss Perkins can give. This is Roosevelt as seen by the woman who knew him perhaps better than any other except Eleanor and his mother. She worked with him as a friend and an associate before his great development and almost constantly to his death. -Peter Hamill General Library List Adamic, Louis-Dinner at the White House, New York, Harper, 1946., Graves, Robert-King Jesus.
