NIGHT EDITOR: FRED SCHOTT IRA Ballot WHEN IRA PHRASED the questions on their 'recent ballot, they must have been confronted with the glowing vision of blaring headlines. With no stretch of the imagination they probably saw them exactly as they would read: "Election Reveals Stud- . eats Against Barbers' TPactics"-"Opposition to Discrimination Policy Voiced by Over- 4 whelming Majority." And that vision, natur- ally enough, became a reality only a few days later. IRA knew that an "overwhelming major- ity" of the student body would vote against discrimination because they realized that the University of Michigan lies north of the Mason-Dixon Line. Secondly, they were well sware that a majority of the students had spent the best years of their lives fighting against discrimination. And finally, they were conscious of the most important fac- tor of all, that an overwhelming majority oT students are humanitarian enough and intelligent enough to reject the idea of the superiority of any race. Knowing these things, they couldn't miss. When news circulated that such a poll was in the offing, it was inferred that IRA was attempting to prove that the majority i, of the campus backed them in their a- tions. What IRA's balloting actually did was emphasize something that was already known, and in so doing to bury one of the major issues of the controversy. The election revealed that the majority of students are against the barbers' tactics, 4 but it did not disclose whether the campus approves or disapproves of IRA's tactics. Dissatisfaction with the wording of the ballots and the omission of a major issue was evidenced by the fact that approxi- mately 1,000 students who voted for the Student Legislature failed to fill out the IRA questionnaires. The survey is over; an overwhelming ma- jority of students voted against discrimin- ation. But as yet nobody knows with what tactics students prefer to eliminate this discrimination. -George L. Walker CINEMA AT LYDIA MENDELSSOHN, with Peter Lorre. IN THE GERMAN classic at Lydia Mendels- sohn this week, Peter Lorre is up to no good, as usual. Except for this similarity, however, there is nothing in his performance to remind you of the stereotyped roles you've been seeing him in for the last 10 years or so. In this earlier film, he has the unenviable task of portraying a psychopatl whose pe- culiar compulsion has led him into the mur- der, at one time or another, of nine young girls. This is obviously not the sort of be- havior that arouses the kindlier emotions, but Mr. Lorre carries his assignment off with such skill that you'll probably catch yourself sympathizing with him before the film is over. Fritz Lang has received a generous amount of praise for directing this production, and there's no doubt but what he deserves it. He ' has handled his theme adroitly and with thorough detachment. In one scene, for in- Il~~~~s l ap-~'nro es fHE EISLER CONT.OV F1?YGs brought out one important. puint.: it; about tlime the University cri s i) it ( l Lati, ju 5on speakers and p01111(81 ;ronp No s( of ruibS Veninl aecepiable speakers for campus a ppairnees are avail- able to the student body. Ti p Ei.-Jr ban oh- viously means that the Uive-sit holds to itself discretionary power .o ,1ay speakers. But it has certainly failed to make known what limits th'e r' i 10othis ower, and on what basis it deth, - nincs vi vo -)an be heard cn campus. If mox-e de'fiinit rules had lben avail- able, the Eisler controversy would never have occurred. No special ?onferen e of University offii.als would have bee i need- ld, and the situdent sposors would have been perfectly aware whether Eisler and Marzani could speak on c!mpus. Rules must state whether poIiticai speech- e, can be made on campus, whether repre- sentatives of nationai parties may address the stude(.., sal wi at characi er back- ground is necessary for eligibility to speak. A n tc r important tmission in Univer- sity regulations i., a deniAon of the cri- teria used in gri-anting recognition to stud- ent political organizations. MYDA's recognition was withdrawn be- cause it refused to separate from its national parent, AYD. SDA was approved as a localI group, not yet affiliated with the national ADA. YPCM was granted approval in the same manner. Th se decisiOns sem to impO y that ionly local p (li ' wall'roups w3il receiVe Ui'niver- sity iec 8ratio. hut hO one is iuite sure. S ou f aroup:; cani : easare their chances for approval only by what is a growing body of precedent. If future controversy is to be avoided, the University must make its stand clear in well defined rules, and must make these rules readily available to all students. --larrielt Friedman tHAT IS TIlE crucial issue in the Uni- versity's refusal to allow Gerhard Eis- ler and Carl Marzani to speak on campus? It is not a question of MYDA's alleged at- tempt to "engineer" a "publicity scheme." Nor is it a question of the personal merits of Eisler or Marzani. The real issue is whether American students have the right to hear, compare and judge the truth of competing views in any moral, social, political or economic controversy no matter how extreme or un- conventional.- In a democracy, the chief function of a university is to present for student consid- eration all interpretations of the truth, and to encourage the efforts of students to secure any information beyond what the university itself transmits. By its action yesterday, the University has demonstrated that it is weak and hypo- critical. Confronted with a situation that de- manded moral courage and intellectual in- tegrity, the University bowed its head in surrender to the onslaught of J. Parnell Thomas' House un - American Activities Committee and confessed that its devotion to the Bill of Rights is mere lip-service. By its action, the University denied its belief in the principle that democracy can only flourish in an environment where the competition of ideas is free and un- restricted. By its action, the University proved that ii lacks faith in the capacity of its students to discern between truth and untruth, be- tween what is in the best interests of a free and creative society and what is detriment- al to it. By its action, the University made a mock- ery of academic freedom. -Joe Frein 1 {J FIRST SEM(Zt JE S TEUR - College of 16rature, S'ienee -nd ithe Arrt College of Pharmacy School of Business Administration School of Education School of Forestry and Conservation School of Music School of Public Health JANUARY 19-30, 1948 NOTE: For courses having both lectures and quizzes, the time of exercise is the time of the first lecture period of the week; for courses having quizzes only, the time of exercise is the time of the first quiz period.

WALLACE has let the cat (ex- cept possibly for the tip of its tail) out of the bag. He has stated flatly this week that there will be a third party in 1948, un- less the Administration unexpectedly adopts the Wallace formula for abandoning most of the world to the Comintern. He has stated further that he will support this party. He has been coy about whether he will head the ticket, but this coyness was wholly unneces- sary, since he is the only possible candidate. What this amounts to, of course, is that, bar a miracle, Wallace will run, as predicted in this space for more than a year. Since Sena- tor Claude Pepper has cautiously ducked the No. 2 spot on the Wallace ticket, the egregi- ous Senator Glen Taylor is probably cast for the role of Sancho Panza to Wallace's Don Quixote. All this must please Mr. William Z. Fos- ter, Communist party chief, whose cohorts, as has also been documented in this space, are the real brain trusters of the third party movement. As Foster and his party strategists knew, the creation of their third party will have two entirely foreseeable results. It will make the nomination and election of a right-wing Republicap far more pro- bable, since it will certainly drain off moderate Republican and Democratic support. It will also cause the Communists to be isolated and enfeebled still further in their main stronghold in the labor move- ment, the C.I.O. . Family Man? CAN'T THE MAN with the eye-brows find a place to go? With an exquisitely terse message, John L Lewis and his United Mine Workers-pull- ed out of the AFL late Friday, a logical step after his thorough rebuff by the AFL exe- cutive council at the Union's San Francisco conference in October, and his third "dis- affiliation" since 1935. But the UMW "labor baron" doesn't seem to be able to stick with anybody for very long. In 1935, Lewis first became "dis- affiliated" from tIe AFL, after organizing a committee for industrial organization- which grew un to be today's Congress of Industrial Organizations. Lewis and his baby CIO were expelled for setting up a "rival organization." "Baby" grew up fast, and when Lewis and his co-workers split over support of the late President Roosevelt's third term, Lewis laid down an ultimatum--"If Roosevelt wins, I quit (as CI) president)." He did. Two years later he withdrew completely. So John L. took his faithful UMW back home to the AFL, and promnptly found-and Friday publicized-that he just isn't a fam- ily man. -Naomi Stern - OBERT M. HUTCHINS, Chancellor of the University of Chicago, has publicly announced that he can no longer in good conscience advise faculty members and gridutes t no in tog overnment service. A vast sea change has already taken place almost unnoticed in the C.I.O., particularly since Walter Reuther's smashing victory in the automobile workers' convention. Except for those unions like the electrical workers still tightly gripped by the Communist ma- chine, the entire C.I.O. has now vigorously shaken the Communists loose. The two most significant of these out- breaks have been in Wisconsin and in Minnesota. The Communist hold in Wis- consin's C.I.O., which only last year was strong enough to contribute heavily to the defeat of one of labor's ablest friends, Robert LaFollette, is now completely brok- en. Working through the electrical work- ers, the Communists brought their biggest guns (including Clarence Hathaway, for- mer "Daily Worker" editor) to bear on Minnesota, in an effort to commit the state C.I.O. to a third party. At the con- vention, they were roundly and unexpect- edly trounced. All this boiling down below has been re- flected in national C.I.O. headquarters. C.I.O. president Philip Murray, who was once cust- omarily referred to in 'The Daily Worker" as "our great leader," has now caused that journal's editors to cry out in pain and rage. He not only sent James B. Carey, C.I.O. sec- retary-treasurer, to Paris to defend the Mar- shall plan but he has himself indorsed the plan in a broadcast for the State Depart- ment's Voice of America. It is now virtually certain that the C.I.O. leadership will actively support the Demo- cratic party and President Harry Truman in 1948, unless Truman manages to Put a remarkably big foot in his mouth before that time. This in turn will mean that the United Electrical Workers, and the other smaller Communist-run C.I.O. unions, will be forced to defy official C.I.O. policy. For they take their orders not from Murray but from Foster. Thus there has already been speculation at C.I.O. headquarters that in 1948 the Communist-run unions may be faced with the flat alternatives of getting rid of their Communist leader- ship or of expulsion from the C.I.O. In short, the third party issue may cause the Communists to lose their last toehold in the American labor movement. Thus the real objective of the third party backers (including William Z. Foster) is unveiled. It is the election of a right-wing, isolationist Republican in 1948. It is based squarely on the assumption that the curi- ous pinch-penny nostalgia for a simpler and less expensive past which afflicts so much right-wing thinking would reduce American foreign policy to mere sound and fury, sig- nifying nothing. This is not an entirely fat- uous assumption, as the debates in the House of Representatives, where the conservative Republican leadership has fought to cut the gizzard out of the interim aid bill, clearly signify.

The following will participate: TO THE EDITOR EDITOR'S NOTE: Because The Daily prints every letter to the editor re- ceived (which is signed, 300 words or less in length, and in good taste) we remind our readers that the views expressed in letters are those of the writers only. Letters of more than 300 words are shortened, printed or omitted at the discretion of the edi- torial director. Subsistence To the Editor: DESPITE THE fact we are not veterans, we read the article headed, Survey Shows Vet Allow- nce is Insufficient," with consi- lerable interest. The AVC has been a leading veteran's organization for pres- urizing wise legislation. If we ecall correctly, they are on record as favoring the combating infla- ion. Last year they opposed (as nflationary) state servicemen's houses. Now they have come out for raising subsistance for those un- der the G. 1. Bill. Whether or not the government should cover all the expenses of the veteran at- tending college we do not propose to argue here. At present we are concerned with the aforemention- ed article in Friday's daily. The results of "Operation Sub- sistence" strike us as a bit wierd. To wit: Single veterans spent an average of $140 per month, an increase of over 40% from last year, married veterans spent $203, 20% over last year, and married vets with children spent $167, roughly 18% over last year. Para- doxically enough, both years the married vets without children spent considerable more than those with children-the discrep- ancy being greater this year! Think about this difference. Can it be presented as positive evilence for increased subsistence? We do not know how represent- ative these figures are within each group, and we would venture guess that Mr. Antonofsky could not be too sure either. We only know that if the AVC decided to lobby in Congress for increased subsistence, they'd probably be better off leaving these figures in Ann Arbor. There is plenty of prima facie evidence for increased living costs and their effects on the Vet as well as on everybody else. While you're in Congress, boys, how about exerting a litte pressure to keep prices down so that you won't have to be making monthly pilgrimages to Washing- ton to increase subsistence. Gloria Miller Marilyn Hendricks Film Writers To the editor: Would you please ask Miss! Jean Fagan to explain her source of information for the statement ' in Friday's editorial that the Hol- lywood writers were fired because theykwere authors of a movie attacking race hatred? - - -Paul Kircher Caution To the Editor: AM APPRECIATIVE of Prof. Paton's point in recent letter that many critics are partcular- istic to the point of blaming + "everything" bad on GOP politi- cos. However, I note his inference that groups other than the GOP "... have had full control of the helm for about fifteen years ..." I submit that caution is equally valuable for both Prof. Paton and Mr. Frein who wrote-the editorial question. Likewise, Prof. Paton's remarks linking Mr. Frein with "brother Molotov" are difficult to credit, upon carefully perusing said edi- torial by the latter. Here, Prof. Paton seems to travel a path from a small particular point of simi- larity to a broad general conclu- sion. One is reminded of current pratice of Soviet press of calling USA "fascist" every time we blink. If, by criticizing GOP for its pro- minent role in dropping Price Control, Mr. Frein is " . . .doing his little bit to bring about, the 'planned Chaos' that his apparent friends are . . .promoting abroad . ," then it follows that Prof. Paton is a Stalinist, nay, a Super- Trozkyite in the field of ac- c ounting and one can be grate- ful that there are no Un-Ameri can Accounting Investigation Committees, to smear him or throw him in jail because of his espousal of new ideas. The brilliant insight and ob- jectivity that Prof. Paton uses so effectively in his professional work would go far for him in understanding current political and economic affairs.
