Elections

[ME AND TIME again University officials
have refused to place real responsibility
i trust in the Student Legislature because
y claim that it is not representative of
student body-that it is nothing more
n a vocal minority reflecting the inter-
of only a few comparatively isolated
ups of students.
In part, these charges have been justi-
cd. Past experience has shown that SL
embership has been drawn primarily
om the same relatively narrow circle of
idents living in organized University
affiliated residence units year after
ar. But no government can ever hope
reprsent a fair cross-section of its elec-
rate unless it is able to draw candidates
om all segments of that electorate. If
.e Student Legislature is to become a real
okesman for the entire campus, indi-
luals representing the thousands of
udents living in private rooming houses
id smaller organized houses, as well as
.ose living in large University residences,
ust stand for election.
'etitions for this spring's election will be
aed this week. It is the responsibility of
ry student imbued with a desire to pro-
te the welfare of the entire student body
become a candidate.

Alice Lloyd
ALICE C. LLOYD, child of an old Uni-
versity family, was in a very real
sense a daughter of the University it-
self. For in making her unique contribu-
tion to the campus community, she
merged with a 100-year-old tradition of
service and enlightenment which grew
richer through her presence.
Many would hesitate before assum-
ing the responsibilities which were a
daily aspect of Dean Lloyd's life. It is
not easy to face the resentment, the ir-
ritation of those whom one must disci-
pline in a job puch as hers. But the
wide affection and respect which she'
earned among University women, dur-
ing her two decades as their dean, are
a tribute to the humanity and sensi-
tivity which enabled her to temper
discipline with understanding and
severity with tact.
It is the tragedy of our sphere that
the friendship and esteem we hold for
others . are often unspoken until they
can only be uttered as obsequies. Dean
Lloyd was more fortunate than some
in this respect, for many honors and
tokens of friendship came her way dur-
ing her lifetime. And yet, at her memorial
services tomorrow, there will be many
in whom her death has revealed a spring
of gratitude for this lady of service -
a spring that ran hidden for too long a
time.

ON THE

Washington Merry- Go- Round

WITH DREW PEARSON

III 1

x WASHINGTON-President Truman hasn't
found the right man for Atomic Energy
Commission chairman yet, but he did tell
a White House visitor recently just what
}e's looking for.
"I want a chairman who can sweep the
Commission out," Truman said, "and if
need be knock some heads together. He'll
have $o have a tough hide, too."
"Perhaps, what I need is to borrow Louis
Johnson from the Pentagon," he added.
The President revealed he had consid-
erred naming Commissioner Lewis Strauss
as chairman, but finally decided to bring
In a new figure not involved in the bit-
ter, backstage quarrels inside the Com-
mission.
White House personnel assistant Don
Dawson and John Steelman have urged the
app intment of Gordon Dean, a compara-
tively new commissioner, as acting chairman
during the tidying-up period. Dean was
one of those who lined up with Strauss
against outgoing chairman David Lilienthal.

LEWIS, COAL OPERATORS AGREE
WHILE JOHN L. LEWIS and the coal op-
erators were making faces at each other
regarding the coal strike, they have stuck
together in a friendly partnership backstage
over one phase of the coal industry. They
R have worked hand-in-glove to block the
exetnsion of natural gas pipelines into New
England.
The battle they have been fightingj
comes to a head with a hearing before
the Federal Power Commission this week,
and with it will be decided two other im-
portant factors. They are:
1. Will New England, which has been los-
ing industry to the South because of high
costs, now get the benefit of cheap gas
rates?
2. How will Nelson Lee Smith, chairman
of the Federal Power Commission, vote? A
resident of New Hampshire, Smith will be
caught between his desire to help New Eng-
land industry and conservative Republicans
whom he does not want to antagonize at a
time when he is about to come up for reap-
pointment.
Ever since the Senate refused to confirm
his old enemy, Leland Olds, last year,
chairman Smith has been leading a plea-
sant life. But beginning next Tuesday
with the hearing on the New England gas
pipeline, Smith's happiness vanishess
So far, most northern areas in the Uni-
ted States have succeeded in breaking down
John L. Lewis-coal operator opposition to
natural gas pipelines. But not New England.
'When Tennessee Gas Transmission Co., now
serving upper New York State, applied to
extend its pipeline into New England, it
was opposed every step of the way by Boston
Consolidated, the huge utility which sup-
plies manufactured gas to Greater Boston.
And for a very good reason. Boston Con-
solidated is owned by Eastern Gas and Fuel
Associates, which in turn is owned by Kop-
pers of Pittsburgh, which in turn is a part
of the great Andrew W. Mellon industrial
empire. Koppers is in the coal and coke
business, and if cheap natural gas came to
Boston it would have to junk its manufact-
uring plant there and lose its chemical sales.
So Eastern Gas and Fuel, appearing before
the Federal Power Commission as early as
two years ago, bluntly opposed natural gas

whether to give a license to the Mellon in-
terests, or to the Tennessee firm which has
been joined by many small New England
independent gas companies, or whether to
give no license at all.
EINSTEIN KNOWS ARITHMETIC
ONE REASON you don't hear much from
Prof. Albert Einstein about the hydro-
gen bomb is that some of his colleagues at
the Institute for Advanced Study in Prince-
ton think he has had too much publicity in
the past.
Some of the jealous professors of the In-
stitute fear the Institute will be identified
with Einstein and nobody else. So they are
trying to button him up.
This suits Einstein perfectly, for he
doesn't relish talking to inquiring news-
men about bombs. He would rather talk
to a little girl about her arithmetic prob-
lems.
One day, eight-year-old Adelaide Delong,
who lived near the Einsteins on Princeton's
Mercer Street, came home late from school.
Her mother, Mrs. Edward S. Delong, asked
where she had been. "I stopped to see Ein-
stein," said Adelaide.
"Do you mean Dr. Einstein?" asked Mrs.
Delong.
"Yes, but I called him Einstein; that's
what you call him, and I gave him a piece
of my chocolate fudge."
"But why did you stop there?"
"I had to have some help with my arith-
metic. He knows a lot more than you do,
Mommy."
That was just the beginning. Adelaide's
calls at the Einstein home became quite
regular, and over a period of time she
brought home quite a collection of Russian
dolls, china toys and other gfts of the great
mathematician.
Fact of the matter is that Einstein is so
alone that he grows lonely, and he wel-
comed a visit by a little girl offering a piece
of fudge in her warm hand.
* * *
BASING-POINT BILL REVIVED
IT WAS THE BACKSTAGE intervention
of a White House adviser supposed to
protect little business that kept alive the
bill to legalize the basing-point system so
ardently favored by big business.
John D. Clark, of the President's Coun-
cil of Economic Advisers, was the man
who stepped in.
The system he hopes to legalize would per-
mit a steel company to charge the same
price 1,000 miles away as it charges 10
miles away. This was outlawed by the Su-
preme Court as a violation of the anti-
trust laws.
Clark, however, stepped in after two
antimonopolists-Congressmen Emmanuel
Celler of New York and Wright Patman
of Texas - privately agreed to let the
basing-point bill die a natural death. As
chairman of the House Judiciary Commit-
tee, Celler could have pigeonholed the bill
until Congress adjourned.
But out of the clear blue, Celler suddenly
reversed his promise and asked for the bill's
consideration. When Patman demanded to
know why, Celler explained that the request
had come from the White House - via
Clark.
A danhchIr hoeve rev1a that

F4itap flnte
By LEON JAROFF
"HE WILlJ ENTER the blessed state where
there are no unbalanceable budgets .
where all students are scholars . . .
where the college newspaper is always
provocative but never provoking, . ...
With these words M.I.T.'s President
James Killian wistfully expressed his envy
of Charles Seymour who, last month, an-
nounced his retirement as president of
Yale University.
In listing the college newspaper among
the major problems that Seymour would
never again have to face, President Killian
undoubtedly drew nods of assent from col-
lege administrators all over the country.
The free, uncensored college newspaper
is often a. thorn in the side of the uni-
versity administration. Ever on guard to
defend the "rights" of the student body
and openly critical of any administration
move that does not meet the approval of
the student editors, college newspapers
have time and again caused great em-
barrassment in high administration cir-
cles - quite often with good reason.
Because of such situations, many uni-
versities have seen fit to clamp down upon
their student newspapers by instituting con-.
trols in the form of faculty censors or "ad-
visors." In all cases, the result has been the
gradual degeneration of a lively student
newspaper into a drab, semi-official or-
gan of the administration.
A SOURCE OF IRRITATION
T HERE IS little doubt that The Daily has
at times caused considerable irritation
in Administration circles and among the
Regents.
When the Board of Regents nervously
closed down the University-operated
Workers' Education Service after a GM
official had visited one of the classes and
raised the cry of "Marxist," The Dailyt
was the first publication to leap to thev
attack.-
"Very evidently," a Daily editorial stated,1
"some of the large Michigan corporationsf
are working to destroy the service this Uni-
versity has offered. . ..
Soon after, WES was restored, minus
its former director and parts of its pro-
gram. But because of extreme tactlessnessc
on the part of the Administration and a
certain amount of bullheadedness on the1
part of the CIO, which boycotted the new
classes, the WES was permanently termi-
nated.r
Again, Daily editorials raked the Admini-
stration over the coals.
Another Regents' blunder, the political
speakers ban, was unmercifully attackedc
by The Daily. Resulting from the ill-t
founded belief that exposure to politicalt
speakers of certain varieties would lead'
the thinking of the student body into
dangerous channels, the ban was strictly
interpreted by the Administration.
After months of critical comment in The
Daily and, more important, unfavorabler
publicity outside of Ann Arbor, the ban
was revoked.
* * *
DAILY CENSORED?
WITH THE DAILY in a position to em-t
barrass the University almost at will,1
you might well ask, just how much controlt
is exercised over the contents of its news
and editorial columns by the Administra-
tion?
The answer, happily, is almost none.r
Edited and managed completely by stu-
dents, The Daily is, nevertheless, published
"under the authority" of the Board in Con-
trol of Student Publications which is com-4

posed of six faculty members and two alum-
ni, appointed by the Regents, and three stu-
dents, chosen annually in all-campus elec-
tions. ,
The vague phrase, "under the authori-.
ty," in practice means that the Board dis-
cusses -- and generally approves without.
modification - promotions, expenditures,
and budgets proposed by the senior staff..
But it is clearly understood by all con-
cerned that any irresponsible acts by the
students in charge would result in stricter
control by the Board.
In addition to these functions, the Board
discusses the quality and treatment of ma-
terial published in The Daily.
However, in the experience of the present
senior staff, the Board has never attempted
to interfere with any decision reached by
the editors and, in fact, has been fully
cooperative at all times.
In this atmosphere of complete free-
dom, bound only by a self-imposed code
of ethics, a college newspaper can best
serve the interests of the college commu-
nity and the student body.
It is to the credit of the University -
state-owned and beset by so many outside
pressures, political and otherwise - that it
seldom censures and never censors a stu-
dent publication which is often its most
merciless critic.

The Problem . ..
T1o the Editor:
T HAS BEEN SAID that one way
to change our hostility towardsj
the Russians into at least a luke-
warm friendship is to try to reach
a better understanding of Russia
and her problems. Even were this
proposition accepted as true (and
it is not at all certain that it is)
from a practical point of view,
what a tremendous difference lies
between this hope and the actual
accomplishment of it! Indeed, the
gap is so great, the practical diffi-
culties so insurmountable, that no
chances of success seem to exist.
In the first place, Russia will
have to be talked into cooperat-
ing, and the people in this country
will have to be talked into the
need ofunderstanding the Rus-
sians. Along this line, there is a
certain law of human inertia that
must be dealt with. Being in a
state of mistrust now, it is much
easier to remain that way than
to change directions. Americans
also will have to be convinced that
the"Russians want to be friends,
and vice versa. There is, further,
the problem of information.
Granting that both Russia and the
United States allow the free flow
of it without censorship, in what
manner is this information to be
gotten, who is to get it, and what
is to be gotten? And finally, pos-
sibly the most important, even if
these and other difficulties are
surmounted, are not the two sys-
tems of life so diametrically op-
posed that it may be years (years
that perhaps cannot be afforded
at this time of imminent danger)
before any understanding at all
will be achieved?
If there were time, something
might be worked out eventually.
But today, the crisis is too grave
and too near. There is not enough
time for the accomplishment of
such a necessarily long range pro-
gram.
For these reasons, from a prac-
tical point of view, it is suggested
that the Russian-American prob-
lem will not be solved by trying to
understand the Russians. If there
is any solution, it is elsewhere.

Hospital Affair . .
To the Editor:
1 GREATLY sympathize with Mr.
Eglash's desire to look upon the
Hospital Affair with an eye to im-
proving the understanding and
forbearancedbetween races. But
the proposed solution is surpris-
ing, to say the least.
A thoroughly agreeable solution,
of course, for Dr. Sullenberger, not
even to have to apologize to a lady
whom he has struck, lest his inner
integrity be violated. What more
could he ask than to have his hurt
feelings understood?
But is this primarily a matter
of feelings? Seriously, I agree that
it would be excellent to have a
third party attempt to bring about
understanding between them. But
after that, Mr. Eglash would have
Dr. Sullenberger "reinstated with-
out punishment or 'reprimand, or
prejudice for his having expressed
in an emotional situation weak-

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN-j

nesses we all have." What sort of
an argument is that?
Because it is human to feel cove-
tous at times, are we to go scot-
free when we express our weakness
by picking pockets? What is the
purpose of education if not to
enable us to control our emotions
and restrain our more anti-social
overt gestures?
By all means try to understand
the motivations and weaknesses
of the pickpocket. But society
must be protected from him all the
same, until he has been taught
how to live in society. If Dr. Sul-
lenberger cannot himself control
his emotions sufficiently to live
decently with his fellow beings,
they must be controlled by other
means.
The individual's need for a cer-
tan amount of emotional expres-
sion is understandable, and should
be taken into account. But for the
sake of maintaining a true democ-
racy, we must remember the man

quaintance: "Sure this is a free

Culatics Review .. .
To the Editor:
WAS VERY disappointed at the
amount of publicity The Michi-
gan Daily gave the Gulantics Re-
view, which was held last Satur-
day night in Hill Auditorium. It
seems to me that when a group of
ambitious students get together
to promote something strictly for
the benefit of fellow students an
organ like The Michigan Daily
ought to be more than willing to
give its support by publicizing the
show. After scrutinizing The Daily
day after day for some story about
the show I found only two very
small and insignificant articles
announcing it. The reason I kept
looking for information about it
was because I was one of the win-
ners in the first performance
which was given last year. Natur-
ally I was interested in finding out
who won in this year's show, but
again I was disappointed. I found
no mention of them in Sunday's
paper-only a big spread on "Ice-
landia." I have nothing against
that show, but it seems unfair
that one show should receive ar-
ticles of such size while another
show receives next to nothing. I
realize it is too late to do anything
about this situation this year, but
Gulantics should receive much
better publicity in the future. It is
the only chance students have to
exhibit their talentdand there is
plenty on a campus the size of
Michigan's, and an outlet of this
kind should be encouraged.

served in the dining halls - in
fact resembling anything at all.
At least the members of the East
Quad have had food, even if it
was delivered at the wrong en-
trance.
If one can classify the shriveled
chicken anatomy, amply lathered
in flour paste, as food, then ap-
parently he has been leading a
most wretched life. I appreciate
the conscientious effort made to
acquaint the Quad residents with
the finer things of life; i.e., filet
mignon, but the resemblance to
shoe leather (of poor quality at
that) leaves doubt in my mind as
to the ends accomplished.

The story circulated at one time
regarding the well done egg which
was tacked to a bulletin board -
with little damage to either -
adds verification and substance,
if any one cares to take issue with
me on the quality of the food's
preparation. ,,It is rumored that
the bulletin board was demolished
when the dieticians attempted to
pry it off the board and reserve
it in a salad. Further evidence is
shown by the fact that recently
two persons narrowly escaped de-
capitation when a dignified diner
lost control of his eating imple-
ment - hacksaw - when he at-
tacked a piece of liver.
This previous example brings to
mind that perhaps Messrs. Brown
and Potcova are approaching the
subject from the wrong angle. The
food actually is fine. The diffi-
culty encountered, is that in man-
euvering the food - holding it
down, that is.
