SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1948 THE MICHIG1AN DAILY PAGE 111"-i 11111.A 11'1 V.L'11'1 ilLii L1 y Predict Clash Of CIO Policy At Gathering Portland To See Left-Right Battle By MAX HALL WASHINGTON - W) - The Right and Left wings of the CIO may clash openly-more openly than ever before-at the CIO con- vention which is about to start in Portland, Oregon. But the organization probably won't split in two. The Left Wing, which has been losing strength for two years and suffered a heavy blow in the election showing of Henry Wallace, will likely get a convention spanking but will stay in the organization. THAT IS THE opinion held by many observers of CIO politics, as of today. The picture could change, however. The 51-man CgO executive board starts sessions in Port- land this coming Wednesday. The CIO convention opens Mon- day, Nov. 22. The term "Right Wing" in the CIO does not mean "Conserva- tive." It simply means "actively anti-Communist." * * * NOT ALL "Left Wingers" are Communists, but they frequently go along with Communist pro- grams. They don't go in for at- tacking Communists. At least four aspects of the ffLeft-vs.-Right warfare may be taken before the CIO executive board. The issues may be set- tied behind closed doors, but at least one of them may erupt in the open convention for the na- tion to see. The four issues are as follows: * * * 1. THE ISSUE of the New York City CIO Council. This outfit, a Left-Wing organization, has . been formally accused of departing from CIO policies. The executive board will decide whether to snatch the council's charter. And -watch this-CIO rules provide that the board's decision can be appealed to the convention. 2. The issue of whether CIO unions should be allowed to de- part from CIO policies. 3. Charges of "Raiding." Sev- eral Left-Wing union leaders have accused Right - Wing unions of raiding their mem- bership. 4. The southern organizing drive. Some CIO officials are say- ing that some Left-Wing unions greatly reduced their financial support of the southern drive in order to put more money into Henry Wallace's campaign.

WEST QUAD residents and their friends are enjoying a series of instrumental concerts, sponsored by West Quad's Strauss Memorial Library and Kappa Kappa Psi, na- tional band fraternity. Recent performances have in- cluded a woodwind quartet, con- certos for horn and flute, and various instrumental solos. Today at 1:30 p.m. Quad residents and advanced students from the School of Music will present a concert which will include Andre Bloch's "Denneriana" for clarinet and piano, piano selections from De- bussy and Kohler's "Grando Quar- tet" for four flutes. DR. R. M. PATTERSON of the Medical School will speak on "Sex" after dinner tomorrow at Ander- son House in the first of a series of such talks. "EVERY DAY we hear of the Varsity, Jayvee, 150-pound and freshmen squads' accomplish- ments. Now we have the Williams House 'Wonders,'" according to M. K. Rasnick, chairman of the Williams House Committee on Athletic Publicity. "Led by Capt. Robert Fancett, the 'Wonders' won four games, lost none and no op- ponent has scored against them." Debate To Be Seen on Video Final preparations are being completed for the first televised debate ever originated in this area, to be sponsored by the speech de- partment and the Michigan High School Forensic League. Presented at 9:30 p.m. tomor- row night over station WXYZ-TV, HISTORIC DEBATE PROMISED: UNIVERSITY BUILDING BURNS-Firemen pour waier on flames which destroyed the 55-year-old Norwood, Hall at University of Kentucky in Lexington, Ky. Loss of the building and its contents, including considerable laboratory equipment, was estimated at approximately $200,000. Origin of the fire was undetermined. COLLEGE ROUNDUP: Students Enjoy Sick Call at Harvard Congress To WASHINGTON-(P)-Early in the new Congress members will be asked to decide whether this na- tion should go to war for a friend the instant that friend is attacked. Debate promises to be historic. Never before has this nation been willing to say to another nation "your safety is mine." * * * BUT NOW, faced with the march of communism through Middle Europe and the Far East, top American leaders in both po- litical parties, in the State Depart- ment and in the National Defense Agency have decided to ask Con- gress to pledge aid to five Euro- pean nations. The five are Britain, France, The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg - the so-called "Western Union" nations. Those nations have already pledged a "one-for-all" military protec- tion of each other. The Europeans want Americans and Canadians to say "when any of us is attacked in the future, all of us will gang up immediately." Months ago both Washington and Ottawa began to explore the idea. American and Canadian military men are sitting in on planning ses- sions of the five European na- tions. BOTH STATE Department men and military men have told this reporter that nothing is clear in Washington at this point except that they believe such a pledge would be good for this reason: we could make war so hard to wage as to either delay a potential enemy for a long time or stop another world war in its tracks. Some months ago State Depart- ment advisers told the Western Union nations to do two things: (1) Work out what they could do among themselves to put up a strong defense. (2) Figure out what help they would need from us and Canada. The five nations' military lead- ers have (1) decided to give uni- form training to their troops, air and navy men, (2) named a sin- gle commander, British Field Mar- shall Bernard L. Montgomery, (3) begun to plan a joint defense pol- icy, (4) listed the supplies they can make themselves and what they would need from us. THAT shopping list will be pre- sented to the new Congress. Washington experts are uncer- tain now the exact shape any new American move should take on the law books. Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, the Republican lead- tr on foreign policy, has already said the pledge should be made in a treaty, which the Senate would have to ratify. there's only one, the opera pumph.. .ee year now, it makes news again BLACK SUEDE (j - BROWN SUEDE BRONZE KID RED OSTRICH BLACK CALF BROWN LIZARD Brown or BMack Suede : ',........s tldB c ue eStledBy $13.95 DE Liso DEBS, MENIHAN and NATURALIZER $095 $1695 BIOO(NS mart /oei 108 East Washington Phone 2-2685 - <-U O -> <->O <-- p Ot-- O.G>..-QG (>t.....>Og. Decide if U.S. Will Fight for Its Friends By CRAIG WILSON A recent wave of food poisonings at Harvard will probably result in many sick but enthusiastic schol- ars for a few days. According to the Harvard Crim- son, "all those that can establish that they suffered in hour exams from attacks will be granted legit- imate excuses." APPARENTLY The Daily fum- bled the political football on its own one yard line and charging Harvard Crimson editors grabbed the pigskin and went over for a touchdown. Seems The Daily commented recently that the Crimson went for Dewey in the latest election. And what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a letter and Crimson clipping entitled, "For President: Truman." Everyone gets to eat crow! S* * * STILL A FEW last dregs remain in our file on the last election: We need not go into the as- sorted and sordid cases of stu- dents sadly wheeling each other about various campuses in wheel barrows. Nor the scholars "paying off" by rolling eggs from one trusty fortress of learning to another equally inspiring haven of knowl- edge. Needless to say, locomation was one nose power. CAUGHT in an election jam was the sorry situation at the office of The Dartmouth, (oldest college newspaper in America) at Dart- mouth University. The editors ap- parently forgot to have pictures of Truman and Barkley ready just in case.... When things went topsy- turvy in the vote-counting and stayed that way, Dartmouth ed- itors were hard pressed for some way Harry's countenance could be left off page one legit- imately. Solution: Publish a headline saying "Democrats Leading in Up- set," and print pictures of Dewey and Warren-up-side-down, of course? POLLS - Those poor things- are still in popular favor with col- legiate newspapers. "Surveys"made by several papers, each of which insists someone else started this gag, indicate . . . conclusively . . . that college coeds are willing to share the suds-bucket on dates. However, another "poll," taken by a sociology professor at Mich- igan State College, said that pet- ting as a popular campus pastime is on the way out. According to The first of three programs by the University String Quartet will be presented at 8:30 p. m. today in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. The program will include string quartets by Haydn, Schubert, and Brahms. The members of the quartet are Prof. Gilbert Ross and Emil Raab, violinists, Paul Doktor, violist, and Prof. Oliver Edel, cellist. Roger Hauenstein, student of organ .in the music school, will present a recital at 4:15 p. m. today. Hauenstein is now studying under Josef Schnelker. The program is open to the public. the Michigan State News, 77 per cent said it was unnecessary and the remainder were undecided.... Just a poll . . UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS stu- dents have gleefully taken up their winter chorus of: "45 Degrees Ain't Cold-It Snowed Up North," according to the Daily Texan. The University of Washington Daily recently came up with an interesting picture parallel be- tween the modernization of the Seattle Star and advances in the bathing suit industry. Picture one shows 'Miss Wash- ington of 1948' decked out in a a Gay Nineties bathing suit holding an edition of the Seattle paper. Picture two has Miss Wash- ington tied up in the latest ex- cuse for a swimming suit and holding a recent edition of the Star, which became a tabloid. Recently the Star went broke.. (No picture). CONTROVERSY at tiny Olivet College over the firing of a pro- fessor and his wife appears to have split the student body wide open. Detroit newspapers reported re- cently that students backing the administration burned an effigy of the Student Action Committee wiAch protested the dismissal. Arab-Jewish Relations To Be Topic at Hillel Albert Elazar, well-known au- thority on Arab-Jewish relations will address the campus IZFA chapter at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday at the Hillel Foundation. He will discuss the Arab-Jewish problem. The meeting is open to the public. - T L I "' ''P, \ e ..r.. a .... ..
