NIGHTFDITORS: DALE S & SCHOTT What's w'ronf2 with Mid higan? The Cailelhan Act. Passed by shrt-sighted and frightened little men of the, Michigan Legislature under the pretese of prothctinr the state from "reds," "aiens" and oreign agents, the Call- ahan Act is likely to create hycteria, to dis- credit democratic labor unions and to limit the freedom of speech.i and expression of the people of Michiuan. Written in an:igamus and obscure terms, it.I'defines" foreinagents and aencies as follows. "Any indrAivual, club, gaup et. . ..whose origin is directly or indireety of foreign inspiration . . and whose object is the control . . . of the government . .. and which is or has been affiliatedi atah any international bodies oriinatiag withaor dehendient upon for- eign got'e nrn . . . orc under their influence." Individuals and ogani :Jions falling into any of these categories are required to reg- ister as a "foreign agent" with the Attorney General ani are oliated to announce in all [her publications d radio programs thetact that they have so iegi ered. On the .?srzxcc. the Actmay appear to be directed at o small, islaed minority, but acloser examination- : ithe clause quoted above reveals that i, an be utilized to label. smnearand iuvstigae almnost any citizen or' organization of Michigan. For example, as amemben of a church which has foreign missions and ;et s or gives money aboad, a union affilated with en iternational labor organization or afraternal organization that sends food, clothing and relief rcney to for- eign gow nments or pcouie. you are a "for- ijn agent" rz-resenting an organization of foein insp'tion. n e rs l: t F I and the Thms Vr Arerica ' inmittec to smear asc Qtcrs, members of un- i th ational Labor (Irguizlkm or o;'id Federation of nion .d 'd' ' the Joint Ai d dipel any at the ate administation will rerain from rorting to te same tactics. Inlss you register and condemn yourself subetrsie, you are liable to indictment, and a $5,iO, fine and five yeais in jail if found guilty. The Attorney General of Michigan, like the late U.S. Attorney Gineral A. Mitchell Palnmr,. who conducted the infamous "red witch hunt" following World War I, has un- limited powrc to arbitrarily declare ergani- a dons suioversive. No trial is necessary, no wetnesses niecd be called, no evidence pre- sented. In other :ods, the Act gives the Attorney General dicta Iatoral power to har- ; , in.tdate and prosecute every individ- pal and organiz1tion whose social, political and economic op nions differ w, ith his own. This is an exampl1-' of totalItarianism, which employs slmiar miethods to suppress crtics o~f the status clue and obscure the fail- tire of government to cnat urgently needed social and et'onomnic legislation. Aithough the Callahan Act is laze, it can and should be repealed to effectively dem- onotrate to Sigler and Lis cohorts through- out the entire nation that the American people are hard to fool and still harder to push around indisevimtinatel'.

Anni rbr: University of Michigan Press. 174. 20 Pages. 7JUCII as our objective thinking, fact- minded (engineers may object to the term, it must be said that thi; is a charm- ing book by and about a charming man. Corroboration for the use of such a perhaps bjectionable adjective comes from another .stets~i' of the Prof siun, Dean Emeritus Joseph A. Busley. with whom I recently enjo ed a chat about his personal friend and associate, the author of this book. This conversation only bore out what can clearly be read between the lines of these memoirs, that the late Dean Cooley was a much-loved man who knew how to enjoy life. It is this that makes the book such a delight--it is full enjoyment of life, never lost sight of by Dean Ccoley while remem- bering many obstacles and long years of hard, honorable work. Born i 1855, Dean Cooley traces. his life as a boy in Canandaigu, New York, as a student at the United States Naval Acad- emy, as first teacher of mechanical engi- neering at the University of Michigan and later as dean of the engineering school, as lieutenant commander during the Spanish- American War, and as candidate for the United States Senate (in a chapter entitled "The Senatorial 'oga Did Not Fit.") Of per- haps even greater interest are such chapters as "A Jug of Wine . . . " and "The Filthy Weed." D(an a olcry was a pioneer in the best tradition, Jr he had lBeth high ideals and the prme' foree end energy to make them pro etieal:. ii story of the found- ing and develoent of the University of Michigan School of Fjigineering' is told with the enthusisnm at one what had more than a little to do with the excellent position and reputation enjoyed by that school today. Simple in style and abounding in hearty humor, the book is somewhat sketchily or- ganized, as memoirs of a long, full life must inevitably be. Some of the hundreds of anec- dotes shouldnot be missed by any Uni- versity student. One of the best concerns a final examination flunked by every student in Dean Cooley's class. A student finally re- vealed that the poor results were due to the fact that none of the questions in any way resembled the complete fraternity files care- fully memoized by all of his fellow-stud- ents. As spokesman for the group he re- quested another examination within the week--and got it. That's the kind of man Here's anoti'r one.. There was once widespread discusion of the possibility of Dean 'cocie~'st; appoinoment as president of the Uni:erty lie was not, however, ap- pointed, bn some time later a regent said to himn, "I am not sure we did not make a mistake in not electing you president." Dean Coc iy c otntered, "Why in hell didn't you?' The rerPy was, "You swear too goddam much." 'ihe Dean must hav enjoyed telling that one. The book closes with a thoughtful and en- lightened discussion of the deans favorite topic, "The Engineer and the Future," in which he eloquently insists upon the engi- neer's responsibilities as a professional citi- zen and outlines the program which en- gineering education should undertake to help its students fulfill their obligations to their profeesion, to their country and to so- ciety as a wx hole. "Required Reading" may be an odious way of putting it, but that is just what this book should be for every University of Michigan student, certainly for all engineer- ing students. -Nnatalie Bagrow C f flS37 R: ^'ff1 ~ (Besle No L r Ary Lig . Beaslcv. Norma n-Knudsen: A Biography. France and Italy into the Soviet camp and render the British people "neutral"? Twice in one generation we tried to pre- tend that European upheavals did not con- cern us. Now the Soviet Union seems to be following the Hitler pattern. French or Italian collapse might give Russia advanced bases on the Atlantic or the mastery of the Mediterranean. The Franco-Italian crisis upset the Amer- ican time-table. Curing these urgent cases of economic appendicitis with dollars now comes before keeping the initiative in the UN or long-term rehabilitation. The sum needed is about 100 to 150 mil- lion monthly for the next six months. It's a lot of money-if you book it to charity. It is insignificant if you consider it as an essential portion of the 11 billion dollars we are spending this year for national defense. Fcr which is worth more to us-a few, possibly obsolete super-battleships or 130 million firm allies (including Britain)? Top American officials like the Secretary of the Treasury admit all this. They just can't seem to find the necessary funds. May- be they are not looking hard enough or in the right places. I can suggest at least seven pockets in Uncle Sam's roomy pants where leagally available funds can be found. Assuming that Britain's needs can tempo- rarily be covered by the International Bank, the following sources are available to France and Italy: 1. The rest of grants-in-aid program funds, originally 332 millions, can properly be used by Italy for the purchase of needed wheat. 2. The U. S. Government can make avail- able to France and Italy wheat purchased by the Commodity Credit Corporation. 3. The 200 million dollar remainder from the U.S. Stabilization Fund is available for stabilizing the Italian lira and the French franc. Wheat and coal to these countries will stabilize the currencies. 4. The Import-Export Bank has money. This can be as readily used to meet a foreign crisis now as during the war. 5. About 20 million dollars owed by the United States to Italian prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention can be turned over immediately. 6. The American War Department should start paying the Italians back rent for use of buildings. Such payments are authorized. 7. Frozen French and Italia'n private funds in this country, estimated at 150 million dol- lars for France and 100 million for Italy, can be released to their private French and Ital- ian owners on the condition that said owners agree to use these sums in payment of vital imports to their respective countries within, say, three months. Here I submit, are several still untapped sources of emergency funds. A thorough search would doubtless reveal others. Tak- en together they would fill the gap until Congress meets and does its job. Conclusion: The American Administra- tion has the means of tiding over Europe's desperate situation until other funds can be made available-provided President Truman insists. Unless he does, the full responsi- bility for eventual catastrophe will be his. (Copyright 1947, Press Alliance, Inc.) Public' Education FOR THE PAST three weeks 58 children in Willow Village have been denied their right to a public education because of their race. The children, living in Walpole Court, neglecetd to register at the Jim Crow Sim- monds schoolrSeptember 5, after being transferred from the inter-racial Ross school. The Walpole parents, led by Mrs. T. Sny- der, formed a committee which last week picketed segregated Simmonds school, pro- testing the re-zoning of the Village along Jim Crow lines, and asking for a hearing with the Village School Board. W. A. Kraus, chairman of the school board, has said that he has "no plans at all to deal with the situation." He stated that the school board is too busy with its other duties to spend more time on the Negro children, and that the board will not call a special meeting to clear up the Publication in The Daily Official Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of the University.

(The resident house director may be selected as one of the chaperones if the group so desires, in which case only one married couple will be necessary.) (2) Chaperones of social events given by a group without a resi- dent house director must be ap- proved by the Dean of Students. The president of the group will indicatenhis endorsement of the chaperons selected by signing Form A before it is presented to the Dean of Students for ap- proval.

BUMBLING British officials did their best to foul up the Et- I i 4 situation Kraus apparently prefers to forget fact that he and the other members of school board are legally responsible the the for the education that these children receive. He is apparently not conscious that the state of Michigan is obligated to provide public schooling for all children under the age of 16, without regard for race, creed, or color. He has stated that he does not plan to prosecute the parents on charges of encouraging delinquency and not abiding by the state law to send children to schools, nor does he plan on changing existing con- ditions so that the parents will be willing to reenter their children in school. Instead, Mr. Kraus is waiting. When a local official refuses to do his duty, it is the responsibility of his superiors to handle the situation. Eugene B. Elliot, Superintendent of Pub- lic Instruction for the State of Michigan, was appointed to see that Michigan laws
