SIX THE MICIIGAN DAILY rnIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1949 See Victory 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. Read and Use Daily Classified Ads EigRATX earnings on our '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.
