It's called the "Freedom Train," and it houses 128 docu- ments which define democracy in America. Freedom Train will stop in 300 commu- nities of the 48 states where the curious and those seeking a solution to a big prob- lem may search for an answer in its im- portant load. The obvious intention of the train's plan- ners was to gird America emotionally for an all-out battle against Communism and the Russian influence. It's christening, on Constitution.Day, missed by just 24 hours, hitting the time when Sec. Marshall brought the American-Soviet battle into clear view. But the slow passage of the Freedom Train will not provide the people with a jus- tification for all of the skirmishes in this world-wide battle. Rather, the obvious disparity between the principals contained in the train and some of the government's current actions may cause embarrassment to enthusiastic bat- tlers. For if American democracy equals the principals set up in the original Bill of Rights-carried on the train-some of the sightseers may be inclined to ask what place wholesale unloading of government employees has in this country. If America stands for the peaceful free- dom-for-the-individual sort of life, to be proclaimed in opposition to totalitarian ter- rorism, then the insecurity which liberals in federal employ now are feeling exposes a grave contradiction. " If equality among races, colors and creeds is a basic tenet of our democracy, then there is a challenge in Langston Hughes' query: "Can a coal black man drive the Free- dom Train? O rm T still n.ortero nn the Freedom Dear Fellow-Students: On behalf of the Student Legislative I wish to extend a hearty welcome to all of you. Your class is entering Michigan at a time when the enrollment exceeds that of any previous semester in the history of the University. Such a situation is bound to create new problems, both for students and faculty, but it also creates new opportuni- ties. Which of these two receives the greatest emphasis, the problems or the op- portunities, depends largely on your view- point of a University. I like to regard the college campus as a miniature society, a training ground where we can acquire principles to guide our liv- ing in the communities to which we will re- turn after we have completed our educa- tion. The benefits we derive from a Uni- versity conceived in this light will depend on what time and energy we are willing to invest in it. This applies to our studies, which should give us technical knowledge and cultural background, and it applies equally well to all our other activities, which should give us greater insight and facility in group living. The Student Legislature is only one of several organizations on campus to which students can devote their extra-curricular time. It was created by the student body last year to promote self-government and to provide the opportunity for applying and thus learning the principles of democracy. I'm sure that many of you come from schools which had Student Councils com- parable to our Legislature. The experience you acquired in such organizations would be very helpful to us, and I hope that dur ing your stay at Michigan some of you will make it available to us by working on our committees or by serving as elected mem- bers of the Legislature. I can not over-emphasize the fact that you will profit most from the time you spend at Michigan only if you decide to be an active and not a passive member of the student body. The Legislature, and all other organizations on campus, will con- tribute as much to your development as you do to theirs. I'm sure, if we all recognize this fact as a principle, that the problems which arise due to our over-crowded conditions will become opportunities for greater achievements by all of us. I hope I may have the pleasure of meet- ing and working with some of you to solve these mutual problems. And in the mean- time I hope you all enjoy your stay at Michigan. -Very sincerely yours, Harvey L. Weisberg, President, Student Legislature ;..- : - 'y'' u = r ,1 \r q,, 4-23 - .. _ --^r _.__ -_- - _.-- - - '- ."., _ - MIAMI, Arizona-Several thou- sand years hence, archaeologists who visit this present-day copper- mining area are going to be puzzled by two mountains. The upside-down hill described yester- day will be one of them. But the mountain that will befuddle our learned descendants is a weird thing known by the monicker of Castle Dome. It would be more descriptive to call it "Atlas' Wed- ding Cake" or "America's Answer to the Great Pyramid." Looming more than a thousand feet into the air, Castle Dome has been whittled and chewed and dyna- mited into a nicely terraced py- ramid besides which Egypt's pid- dling tourist traps would look like overgrown ant hills. It started with World War II, when the government desperately needed copper so that, among other reasons, colonels and gen- erals would have more telephone wire to carry on vital conversa- tions, and more brass (which is made from copper) for their headgear. The Castle Dome Cop- per Co., Inc., was formed to carve up the above -mentioned mountain and extract the 34 of one per cent of copper which exists in each ton of its ore body. Ccpper miners are not frivolous people. When they turn moun- tains upside down by digging un- der them, or make them into pyramids by digging around them, they do so for reasons other than providing puzzlement for future scientists. But several people re- sponsible for transforming Castle Dome from just another ordinary mountain among mountains into one of the great unnatural won- ders of the world and a sight which makes tourists' eyes pop from miles away, now realize what they have done and agree that they would give a month's pay if they could somehow proj- ect themselves into the future, read the books which will be writ- ten, and listen to the violently disagreeing theories which will be advanced on how the d- hill got that way. I. G. Farben Trials After months of fighting against pressures and obstacles which sought to forestall action, the American prosecution staff at Nuremburg has finally brought to trial as war criminals 22 of Germany's top industri- alists. These men, who were the brains of the fabulous I. G. Farben empire, not only financially supported the accession to power of Hitler and the Nazis but also supplied the industrial "know how" which created -the German war machine while undermin- ing, through cartel agreements, the Reich's potential victims. During the last six months, hidden forces stemming from leaders of both major poli- tical parties who are closely connected with the most powerful banking and industrial firms in America, have conducted behind- the-scene intrigues calculated to obstruct and sabotage the preparations of the able and honest prosecution staff and abort this trial. These inviolable high priests of the rotten political-industrial alliance which does the bidding of the international cartelised pri- vate super-state feared that the trial would reveal the incriminating link between the "respectable" men of I. G. Farben and lead- ing American industrialists. They feared that a full list of the more than 200 firms which had financial arrangements, patent agreements, or other alliances with Farben would be disclosed at Nuremburg. This list contains such industrial goliaths as Stand- ard Oil of N.J., Dupont, Alumninum Cor- poration of America, General Aniline and Dye, Agfa Ansco, the Sterling Drug-Win- throp-Bayer (aspirin) group, Bordon Co., Ford Motor Co., Fleischmann, Bristol-My- ers, Cities Service, Diamond Match, East- man-Kodak, Ethyl Gasoline, Firestone Rub- ber, General Electric, General Motors, Gen- eral Mills, Gulf Oil, International Nickle, Lever Bros., M. W. Kellog Co., Monsanto Chemical, National Distillers, Proctor and Gamble, Texas Co., and scores of others. They feared that testimony would expose famous American attorneys like John Foster Dulles now a grand mogul of foreign policy for the GOP and Presidential aspirant Thomas Dewey, and Homer Cummings, a former Attorney General and chairman of the Democratic National Committee who were among those retained to represent Far- ben interests in this country. They feared the trial would divulge that Herbert "Bulldog" Hoover, now strangely revived from the political mortuary to in- struct us that I. G. Farben should be saved, employed as his White House secretary, while President, Eddie Clark, a notorious lobbyist of the Drug Inc.-Farben lobby. 'They feared evidence presented at Nurem- burg would bring to light the former rela- tions of Walter 'Teagle and Frank Howard of Standard Oil, Lammot and Irenee du- Pont, A. V. Davis and I. W. Wilson of Alcoa, and scores of others with their former I. G. Farben partners who used thousands of captive children, women and men as slave labor in Farben plants, as human guinea pigs to test deadly drugs, supplied the poison gas to exterminate helpless victims, and the "know how" for making fertilizer and soap out of the corpses. -They feared that the trial would show that James V. Forrestal, the new Secretary of Defence was a former vice-president of FLUSHING-Secretary of State Marshall would have done well to remember the old European saying that when you start reciting the\ alphabet you cannot stop before the end. In our secretary's fighting speech to the U.N. Assembly last Wednesday, most people saw primarily a notice to the Soviet Union that the United States would stand no more monkey business. This notice was there all right. But fundamentally it is not the most im- portant factor in Secretary Marshall's pre- contaotinn of the A merian attitude-though Farben's $66,000,000 subsidiary, the General Aniline & Chemical Co., until shortly before it was seized by the government as an enemy property, indicted and convicted of "con- spiracy of restricting production of dyes, photographic materials and chemicals." They feared that testimony would reveal Brig. Gen. William H. Draper, former eco- nomic director of the U.S. Zone in Germany and the newest Asst. Secretary of War is a top executive of Dillon, Reed & Co., the Wall Street banking house which financed the resurgence of the German steel trust, Vereinigte Stahlwerke, after World War I. If efforts to tamper with evidence, influ- ence the extent of the proofs or limit the scope of the trial can be repulsed, the dra- matic story of how high placed Americans, for the sake of profits and power, actually jeopardized our security and future by weak- ening the United States as the arsenal of democracy, will be unfolded at Nuremberg. Unless the full force of public opinion is exerted in support of the American prose- cution staff, however, there is grave danger that the outcome of this trial will be a tragic fiasco. The Nuremberg trial is one of the most important single events relating to future peace. There must be no more Schacht ac- quittals.. -Joe Frein h -.- - DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN CURRENT MOVIES At the State ... CRY WOLF, with Errol bara Stanwyck. Flynn and Bar- IN KEEPING with its cryptic title, CRY WOLF was apparently intended to be a mysterious drama filled with tingling sus- pense. But intentions often fall short of their mark, and this thin-spun yarn about an insane family, their protector, and the ever-present curious woman certainly does not tingle; in fact, it barely creeps along. Barbara Stanwyck manages to keep busy and keep the action moving along to its in- teresting letdown by jumping on and off horses, scaling roof-tops, crashing through windows and playing hide-and-seek with Errol Flynn; and, she doesn't do badly. Flynn, as the guardian angel, is a very con- vincing spook. The acting performances are smooth and polished all around, but the threadbare plot is a weak vehicle for trans- mitting their talents. S* * * * At the Michigan . , r THE ROMANCE OF ROSY RIDGE, with Van Johnson, Janet Leigh and Thomas Mitchell. THIS STORY of a post-Civil War at- tempt to unite North and South in a small Ozark community may seem slightly corny to sophisticates. But it is ripe, tasty corn, and a highly entertaining film: The movie preaches a lesson of tolerance and cooperation as means of dispelling bitter- nesses and working towards a common goal, and many of its lines have an authentic ring. For reasons which the picture never quite clears up, Van Johnson is cast as the yodeling schoolteacher who returns from the War to convince the citizens of the folly of their barn-burning ways, and of the the merits of joining together. He first ap- pears playing a mouth organ, later sings; he should have quit when he was ahead. -Harvey A. Leve (Continued on Page 2) C Certificates of eligibility for non-athletic extra-curricular ac-t tivities may be, secured imme-E diately in the Office of Studentt Affairs, Rm. 2, University Hall.
