As Approval
Of Fair Deal
Dems Will Push
Plans, Says Prof.
By BOB VAUGHN
Results of the recent elections
will be interpreted by the Truman
administration as an endorsement
of the Fair Deal, according to
Prof. Thomas S. Barclay, visiting
professor of political science from
Stanford University.
"The administration will no
doubt proceed to press strongly its
progress in the second session of
the 81st Congress," he said.
"GRANTS to organized and re-
lentless minority pressure groups
will be especially emphasized," he
added.
The bitterly controversial civil
rights program, federal aid to
education and medical care will
be important matters for con-
sideration, Prof. Barclay point-
ed out.
"In many cases in the north and
the east, the alliance of the Demo-
cratic Party with organized labor
seems strengthened."
THIS WILL be a significant fac-
tor in preparation for the 1950
Congressional elections, Prof. Bar-
clay said.
"The Truman policy will con-
tinue the existing agreement
with labor and other urban
groups, and will attempt to gain
as much, support from agricul-
ture as possible," he commented.
"This strategy presents a diffi-
cult problem-for the Republicans."
* * *
THE REPUBLICANS will make
a special effort to regain in 1950
the 47 congressional districts lost
to the Democrats last year, Prof.
Barclay said.
"These districts were lost by a
margin of only five per cent of
the total vote," he said.
"Spirited contests for the U.S.
Senate will also be waged in ap-
proximately twelve states," he add-
ed.
Prof. Barclay has actively par-
ticipated in state and national
politics for the last twenty years.

Knit Neckties
The supremacy of the argyle
sock in the realm of hand knit
objects is being overshadowed by
the new idea of hand knit neck-
ties. A pattern may be worked in
making the ties as interesting to
spend spare moments on as the
conventional diamond sock.

'MAN VS. NATURE':
Drama's
Defeatist
Theme Criticized
Challenging the "foolish myth"
that man and nature are enemies,
Prof. George R. Kernodle, of the
University of Iowa's School of Fine
Arts, yesterday called on future
dramatists to show man in a new
relation to nature.
Playwrights of the last 50 years
have taken their cue from Dar-
winism, he said - they have writ-
ten plays about people who try
in vain to escape from the hope-
lessly tangled web of their envir-
onment.
IN A RACKHAM Amphitheatre
lecture he cited Gorky's "The
Lower Depths," O'Neill's "The Ice-
man Cometh," and Galsworthy's
"Escape" as examples of this idea.
But nature is not necessarily
opposed to man, Prof. Kernodle
said. "Actually, you can find as
much evidence of kindness in
nature as you can of t'ooth-and-
claw strife."
He emphasized the need for "an,
orientation between man and na-
ture" in order to obtain "a new
realism" in the arts.
,. * *
A FEW PLAYS and playwrights
have begun to reverse the domi-
nant pessimistic trend of 20th
century dramatic thinking, he de-
clared.
William Saroyan, "a deeply
philosophic and religious per-
son," has showed that man's
dreams are important, and that
"what he dreams he can create."
'"Tobacco Road' is a wise play,
because it reinforces man's sense
of belonging to the earth - al-
though it demonstrates that he is
not equal to nature."
* * *
"AND 'THE Male Animal' shows
it takes real courage and depth
of human resource to survive as an
individual today."
* * *
PROF. KERNODLE
. . . discusses drama
* * *
But by and large, 20th century
plays have told of man's frus-
tration and defeat in the fight
for his dreams against the cold
realities of life, Prof. Kernodle
said.
The dramatic myths of the "lit-
le man" or "moron" and the "ape
man," much used in plays of the
1920's and 30's, grew out of this
general theme.
HE EXPLAINED that, as sym-
bols, they represent those men
who lose their individualism in the
vastness of today's great city life.
As samples, Prof. Kernodle cited
the glorification of the "little
man" in "Of Thee I Sing" and the
characterization of the "ape man"
-the "little man who learned to
bite back" - in plays like "The
Petrified Forest" and "Of Mice
and Men."
'U' Doctors
Get Cancer
Study Funds
Two University Hospital doc-
tors received grants for cancer
research totaling $13,748 from the
National Cancer Institute, the
U.S. Public Health Service has re-
vealed.
They are Dr. H. Marvin Pollard,
internal medicine specialist, who
was granted $5,000 and Dr. A.
Bunsen Lerner, dermatologist,
granted $8,748.
* * *
DR. LERNER will conduct re-
search in the metabolism of the
melanoma tumor, which is often
a very malignant growth.
Melanoma tumors may arise
in any body cell which produces
melanin. Melanin is the pig-
ment which colors the skin and
eyes.
Dr. Pollard was out of town and
not available for further infor-
mation on the nature of his re-
search project.
* * *
THE RESEARCH grants are
part of a program through which
the National Cancer Institute has
given $907,212 to hospitals and
colleges in 21 states.
Much of the research provided
for by the grants concerns the re-
lationship of cancer and hor-
mones, the chemical substances
which regulate body growth and
functions and which are involved
in a large number of human dis-
eases.
