Union Ouster

MEMBERS OF THE CIO have taken a step
toward turning their thinking over to
their union leaders.
These men have allowed themselves to be
stirred to action by the white-hot oratory of
the union bosses. The action was the ousting
of the United Electric Workers and the Farm
Equipment Workers from the CIO at the
Cleveland convention.
The main issue brought up by the top
men in the CIO in kicking out the unions
was that they were dominated by Com-
munists.
Whether or not the unions were Commun-
ist led or not was in reality a side-issue. The
actual reason was insubordination; they
ROLLING STONES
.. by Harold Jackson
A Squelched Shar pie . .
TWO OF THE BEST SEATS in Michigan
Stadium aren't in Michigan Stadium at
all.
If you don't believe us, ask a certain
sharp operator in Detroit. He followed
yesterday's game over a radio just as he
has all this season's games even though
his friends think he has two season tickets
to the Stadium.
The reason for this paradox is that early
last summer the sharp operator read in a
newspaper that the construction firm owned
by his "distant friend," - Mr. X. - had
been employed to build the addition to the
stadium.
He lost no time in putting the bite on Mr.
X. to use some pull and get him, the Sharp-
ie, two very good seats for all the games.
Furthermore, he told all his friends his
friend, Mr. X., was getting him two good
seats for all the games.
As the construction progressed, so did
the agitation from the Sharpie, and finally
Mr. X. promised he'd deliver the goods.
And Mr. X. was - true to his word.. He
got a saw and sawed off two of the best
50-yard line seats - with the numbers
clearly marked on them.
And he mailed them to the Sharpie -
collect.
Powerful Painters .. .
SPEAKING OF THE stadium addition, Rog
Wellington, Daily Business Manager,
swears that it wasn't the University that
decided how big the final capacity of the
stadium would be, it was a crew of painters'
He says that although plans called for an
even 97,000 seats, when the painters had
finished numbering the seats, athletic of-
ficials found themselves with an extra 2391
sats which they had to peddle in a hurry
to keep their pre-season "sellouts" genu-
ine.
Bum's Eye View .. .
GREAT INTEREST was generated on cam-
pus this week by the series of sensational
stories on Detroit's colorful Skid Row pub-
lished in a newspaper that specializes in that
type of "boondoggle."
But the one that most interested Kit
Culver, the sage senior, was the story
headed:
"SKID ROW BUMS CALL WOMEN PIGS
AND A NUISANCE."
"Where do they get off calling bums stu-
pid and uneducated?" roared the usually
guiet Mr. Culver. "That's what everyone on
this campus has thought for years."

Ollie Won't Freeze .. .
OLLIE JENSEN, th philosophic Swede, has
definitely NOT gone home for the week-
end. He's in jail, and he'll be lucky if he
makes it home for Thanksgiving.

Ollie blames his downfall on the early
appearance of winter. While a deputy
sheriff held the phone through the bars
of his cell, the Swede explained it to us
thusly:
"I was driving downtown through the
snow-storm Friday when I saw a large sign
asking if I was winterized. Being a man who
always takes precautions, I stopped in at the
Thank God It's Friday Club and not only
got winterized -- I got stiff.
"On the way back for dinner, I was
playing a game of shadow tag with the
car -- that's the. game where you run
over shadows for good luck. Trouble was,
one big blue shadow fought back - he
was a cop.
"You can tell Prof. Slosson I won't make
History Monday: I made it today, and the
city is going to supervise my education for
the next few weeks.
But the Swede added that things could
have been worse.
"Boy am I glad I didn't put any anti-
freeze in my car -- think what might have
happened if we'd BOTH been winterized."

stood-in the way of the CIO executives' drive
for greater control over the union.
The basic standard by which any labor
union should be judged is the way it serves
its members. The unions should have been
expelled from the CIO if they were fail-
ing to carry out their obligations to their
members, but for this reason only. It ap-
pears that this question was not even con-
sidered by the convention.
The fact that the FE and UE have leftist
leanings provided CIO leaders a convenient
means of playing on the emotions of the
convention delegates.
Even though there was approval from
the floor of the convention the delegates
did not vote for themselves; they did not
think for themselves. They were blinded
with "red."
The CIO claims that it is getting rid of
the un-democratic factions in the union.
And yet by using emotion to sidetrack real'
issues its leaders are robbing its members of
their freedom to make decisions for them-
selves.

MUSIC

A LARGE AND appreciative Hill Audi-
torium audience last night unanimously
acclaimed Wayne King for the incomparable
music which has made him a perennial
favorite.
Delighting the listeners with a display of
personality that wlil long be remembered,
the man who has captured the hearts of
music lovers traversed the melodic range,
offering at the extremes Tchaikowsky's,
"Nutcracker Suite" and a good old-fashioned
hoe-down.
Nancy Evans, who has been prudently
described as "an eyeful as well as an
earful," exhibited tremendous range in
her varied selections, with an unusual
torchy style of delivery, as well as a
thoroughly delightful coloratura soprano.
Baritone Harry Hall received the con-
gratulations of all for his several numbers
and earned a tremendous ovation for his
rendition of "That Lucky Old Sun."
The Grenadiers, the Meadowlarks and the
Quintones showed extreme versatility as
well as noteworthy vocal talent in their
many novel offerings. Especially outstand-
ing were the Grenadiers' "Highland Fling"
and "There's Nothing Like A Dame" and
the Quintones' "Dry Bones."
The soloists were competently accom-
panied on several selections by the Don
Large chorus, an all-Michigan group.
A final plaudit to the Men's Glee Club,
Philip A. Duey conductor, for sponsoring the
beautiful and truly incomparable music of
the Waltz King.

Q UESTIONS ABOUT the so-called dis-
criminatory clauses in fraternity con-
stitutions have been kicking around campus
for the last month.
The issue is getting hotter by the week.
Here are several sidelights which both af-
filiated and independent students might be
interested in.
THE INTERFRATERNITY Council and the
members of its sub-committee on dis-
crimination have decided to try and tackle
the problem on their own.
The campus is watching to see what
they do. While the IFC considers it their
own issue, they should remember that they
are not living in a vacuum. Their actions
will affect the entire campus.
On that basis, the "no-comment" policy,
an attempt to withhold decisions of even
their smallest sub-sub-committee, is un-
fortunate from the campus stand-point. The
University community has a right to know
what they are doing and how they are meet-
ing their problem.
* * * *
SL MEMBERS and potential members:will
probably be faced with the question whe-
ther to ask the Student Affairs Committee
to put some sort of a time limit on removal
of discriminatory clauses next spring unless
the IFC has done something definite about
it.
Informal discussions among certain peo-
ple have gotten to the point where the
question now is, "will the time limit be five
years or six?"
** * *
FRATERNITY MEMBERS who are sin-
cerely interested in seeing the clauses go
are faced with at least one big difficulty:
their national organizations often take , dim
view of removing the clauses.
One fraternity on campus has come up
with a good compromise which it pushed
through at its last fraternity convention.
A rider was tacked on to the national con-
stitution saying:
"If any university regulation should run
contrary to anything in this constitution, the
university ruling will prevail."
This allows the national organization, forj
the time being, to keep their clause and.still
leaves the individual chapter free to support
removal of the clause on this campus.
* * * *
REMOVAL of the clause itself will cause
little or no change in present discrimin-
atory practices. But it will allow freedom of
choice on the part of individual social fra-
ternities to select their members withoutj
worrying about his religion or color - when
they* feel inclined to do so.

ON THE

Washington Merry-Go-Round

WITH DREW PEARSON

III

'q

'

WASHINGTON - It was a cooperative
group of life insurance executives who
came up to capitol hill the other day to
announce they were ready to pay up corpor-
ation income taxes for the last three years,
which they have escaped via a loophole
in the tax laws.
A week before, in fighting mood, they
protested to a House Ways and Means
subcommittee against paying any retro-
active taxes.
Last week, however, A. J. McAndless,
president of Lincoln National Life Insur-
ance Company and chief spokesman of the
group, reported the insurance frrms were
ready to pay between $90,000,000 and $92,-
000,000 for the three years under a so-called
"average valuation" payment plan.
The plan calls for an across-the-board
lowering of tax reductions on investment
income which has rendered the insurance
firms 100 per cent exempt from federal
income assessment. In effect, it will make
between 52 and 6V per cent of invest-
ment income in 1947-48-49 subject to
taxation.
"We are grateful to you and this subcom-
mittee for giving us concrete proposals to
offer our people," McAndless told Congress-
man Lynch. "And the fact that you set a
time limit on our acceptance or rejection
also was a big help in bringing some of our
balky brethren into line. You have accom-
plished in less than a week something the
Treasury Department spent over two years
trying to settle."

BUSINESS OPPOSES CARTELS
'WHEN THE TOP big-business organization
ofthe nation, the National Association
of Manufacturers, denounces cartels and
international monopolies, it's news. Yet that
is exactly what the NAM does in a con-
fidential report on Marshall Plan operations
in Europe.
Prepared by Patrick McMahon, an ex-
pert who recently returned from a three-
month tour of Western Europe, the report
cites the following as among the "adverse
factors" impeding European recovery: ..
1-The dangerous trend back toward car-
telization both by European private business

have forced numerous cutbacks in industrial
production in all countries.
The "population problem" also needs
adjustment, says the McMahon report,
pointing out: "When and if all the other
economic problems are solved, the bald
fact will still remain that Western Eur-
ope just does not have the productive re-
sources to afford improved living stand-
ards to populations of the present size.
"This is especially true of Britain, Italy
and Germany. It would be tragic, indeed,
if the Marshall Plan were to attain all its
other objectives, but still fail in the end
because of the unwillingness or inability of
the Western European countries to face up
to the need of relocating vast segments of
their population."
NOTE - "Had there been no Marshall
Plan," states the NAM report, "it is probable
that the Communists would have taken con-
trol of both Italy and Greece by this time;
France would have been torn by fratricidal
strife between tle extreme left and the ex-
treme right; and currency disorders and eco-
nomic chaos would be prevalent throughout
all of Western Europe. During the past 12
months, more than 35 per cent of the union
members in both France and Italy have left
the Communist unions for the ranks of the
Christian, Socialist, and other independent
labor bodies."

WASHINGTON-Anyone who wants to know where the Truman
administration is headed should pay very particular attention to
the name of the man President Truman appoints to succeed Dr. Edwin
Nourse as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. For his
name will suggest the probable answer to a whole series of deeply
important unanswered questions.
Some of these questions are: Will the Administration really
slice defense expenditures sharply in the year of the Beria bomb?
Will the Administration, as a recent public statement by the
President seemed to suggest, really plug for higer taxes? And
finally, how hard will Truman really fight for his Fair Deal
program:
If the name of Nourse's successor is Leon Keyserling, present vice-
chairman of the Council, the probable answer to the first two ques-
tions is "no." And the probable answer to the third question is "very
hard indeed." For Keyserling is the candidate of the labor-liberal
element in the Administration. And he is also one of the leading
figures in a continuing and deeply significant contest within the Ad-
ministration, which President Truman has never resolved.
* * * *
THIS STRUGGLE revolves around two conflicting economic and
fiscal theories. On the one hand are the economizers, who are deep-
ly disturbed oy the spectacle of mounting deficits in boom years, and
whose dream is therefore a balanced budget. The recently deposed
Dr. Nourse was one of the most important leaders of this group.
Among his allies have been Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder,
Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer, Presidential aide John
Steelman, Budget Director Frank Pace on some issues, and now
apparently Defense Secretary Louis Johnson.
The economizers concentrate on two obvious methods of
balancing the budget-cutting expenditures and raising taxes.
The trouble is that hardly anyone believes that now is the time
to raise taxes, or that new taxes would really make up the pros-
pective $5,500,000,000 deficit. As for cutting expenses, the largest
and most immediately painless area for slicing costs is defense
and foreign spending.
President Truman has clearly been listening to the economizers.
This is suggested by his rather equivocal statement on higher taxes,
which actually probably meant very little. It is also suggested by
something that means a great deal-the fantastic contradiction
between Truman's announcement that the Soviets had perfected an
atomic bomb, and his virtually simultaneous decision to cut defense
expenditures drastically.
Yet, as is so often the case, Truman has also been listening to the
second group, which includes such men as Keyserling's colleague,
economic councillor John Clark; Agriculture Secretary Charles Bran-
nan and the Agriculture Department economist Dr. Louis Bean; and,
on most issues, Presidential counsel Clark Clifford.
These men fix their eyes on a higher level of national income,
rather than an expenditures, taxes, and the current deficit. They
argue that only a constantly increasing national income will per-
mit a balanced budget, or indeed make it possible for the United
States to carry its tremendous burden of economic responsibilities.
That this group also has Truman's ear is indicated not only by
the President's dryly-worded acceptance of Dr. Nourse's resignation.
More important evidence is Truman's call for a $300,000,000,000 na-
tional income in five years, which is clearly destined to become a
major Fair Deal warcry. The $300,000,000 figure was first put forward
by Keyserling.
THIS GROUP ARGUES that the only way out of deficit spending
is to get the level of production, business activity and employment
the country had in 1948, and then increase this level yearly. If this
can be done, they assert, even at the present level of taxes and
expenditures, the budget would be about balanced in 1951, and there
would be a surplus in 1952.
The alternative, according to this theory, is grownig unem-
ployment, and greater and greater deficits as the government
gives relief to the unemployed. If this is to be avoided, national
income must increase at a constant rate of about 3 per cent a year.
Only this rate of increase can balance off constantly growing pro-
ductivity of labor.
The trouble is that no one seems to have a very clear idea of how
this dream of an endlessly increasing national income is to be
achieved. Equally the economizers have no very clear idea of how
their dream of a balanced budget is to be realized without cutting
the liver and lights out of the defense program. Meanwhile, the
President continues to borrow a bit of his economic program from
one side, and another bit from the other. And this system of pick and
choose, without any real national economic policy, is sure to lead to
bad trouble sooner or later, either here or abroad.
