1 PAGE-FOURt THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1950 .Davis' Citizenship GARY AVIS has decided to ask the Attorney General to renew his American citizenship. In doing so Davis has decided to give up his title of "world citizen No. 1" which he has assumed while living in France during the past few years. In his request to the Attorney General Davis said: "My renunciation of citizen- ship in May of 1944 was an action in- tended to dramatize the cause of world peace, world citizenship and the "One World" principle." My loyalty to my home- land was at no time in question.' Davis' action is viewed with deep regret, for if ever it is necessary to dramatize the "One World," citizen of the world concept, it is now. Although Davis says that he has not given up his belief in the desireability of inter- national unity and that he intends to keep working for these ideals, his struggle would have much more effect if he had retained his world citizenship instead of giving it up for the sake of convenience. Davis' struggle in France had caused many to rally around his banner of world citizenship and it was hoped that he would receive support that would enable him to spread his ideas throughout the world. His appeal for V.S. citizenship will be taken by some as a sign of defeat in the fight for one world. But we must remember that Davis' ideals are still our best hope for lasting peace. -Paul Marx ON THE Washington Merry Go-Round WITH DREW PEARSON "All Right - Whose Idea Was It?" --_.J f! t - J.i,_ !, r9~ "' KOREA XetteP TO THE EDITOR The Daily welcomes communications from its readers on matters of general interest, and will publish all letters which are signed by the writer and in good taste.

WASHINGTON-It is now possible to get a reasonably accurate picture of what the Kremlin had in mind when it invaded Korea and the impact our victory has had on Kremlin thinking. This picture cdmes from intelligence information pieced to- gether from various parts of the world and, while its accuracy is not copper-riveted, it is probably reasonably correct. At the time of the Korean invasion, the Kremlin was convinced that the United States would not resist. This conviction came partly from the Soviet embassy in Washington and was unwittingly confirm- ed by the top U.S. adviser to South Korea, Col. John E. Baird, through his Korean mistress, Kim Soo Im. Through the un- suspecting Baird, the Korean Mata Hari learned of various secret directives, all showing we had written off Korea and did not plan to return in case of North Ko- rean attack. Subsequent events indicate that Colonel Baird may have done his country a great favor. For, banking on American inertia and the difficulty of mobilizing the United Nations, the Kremlin had prepared a series of "re- volts" in other areas to follow the Korean attack-Formosa, Tibet, French Indo-China, civil war in North India, an invasion of Yugoslavia and Greece, an Azerbaijan at- tack on Iran,*and a drive to push the Allies out of West Germany. THOMAS L. STOKES: Party-Line Congress WASHINGTON-A factor that may have its influence in the congressional elec- tions is that of single-not divided-respon- sibility in government for the next two years. It is, naturally, an argument on behalf ( of the Democrats, for a Democratic con- gress would provide such a unified ad- ministration, since there is to be a Demo- cratic President for the next two years. Election of a Republican Congress would lodge control of executive and legislative branches in the hands of opposing politi- cal parties as was the case from January, 1947, to January, 1949, when Republicans controlled the 80th Congress. Though this argument would seem to of- 3 fer itself with special timeliness at this critical stage in national and international affairs, President Truman has not men- tioned it, and party strategists have re- f"Aned from exploiting it. This might appear strange. The reason lies in what is now a fairly old political superstition, which had its genesis in Wood- row Wilson's open plea. during the first world war for. election at a Democratic congress In 1918 to uphold his hands. This was re- fused by the voters who elected, instead, a Reipublican congress. The general theory is that our people don't like what Republi- cans at that time advertised as "dictation" from the White House. * * * T A1Y RATE, Presidents since that time have carefully avoided even the sug- gestion of such dictation in mid-term elec- tions, though President Roosevelt tried, in 1938, to pick and choose between Demo- Editoias published in The Michigan Daily ere written by members of The Daily staff tnd represent the views of the writers only. NIGHT EDITOR: CHUCK ELLIOTT crats in primary elections and was soundly rebuffed for what was characterized as an attempted "purge." William Howard Taft, before President Wilson, had a divided government in his last two years in office with a Democratic Congress. Since that time, Herbert Hoover had a divided government in his last two years as President, from March 4, 1931, to March 4, 1933, with a Democratic house and a Senate which, though nominally Re- publican by a single vote, was really con- trolled by a coalition of Democrats and western insurgent Republicans. President Truman was confronted with a divided government by the 1946 elections for what most everybody thought then was his last two years in office. For almost invariably, capture of congress by the party out of power in mid-term elections has been followed by its capture of the White House and the whole government two years later. Harry Truman broke that precedent. MANY SO-CALLED "independent voters" may very well be influenced this year by the single responsibility issue, especially because of the ordeal with Russia and by Korean crisis. For there is no question that because of the pulling and tugging between White House and Congress, particularly with a presidential election two years ahead, and with politicians being the human beings that they are. Such an experience, too, is fresh in mind, due to the divided responsi- bility from January, 1947, to January, 1949. While Democratic campaign directors have soft-pedaled this issue, Jack Kroll, director of CIO's powerful political action committee, PAC, upon which Democrats are relying heavily, shows n such deli- cacy. He brought it into the open in a speech recently to United Rubber Workers at Cincinnati, excerpts of which were sent out to CIO political workers. Depict- ing labor as being in a war against die- tatorship-"Whether it's by the corpora- tion or by the state"-he said, "this is the war we're in this election campaign. "We can win this war only if we are united, only if the President and Congress and the people are all pulling one way. We can't win it if the President and the people are pulling one way and Congress is pulling the other. That's why this election is cru- cial, not only for us and our families, but also for the millions of people all over the world." That Republicans recognize a threat in this divided, or undivided, responsibility is- sue was indicated by Senator Taft (R., Ohio), no. 1 target of labor, who called in a speech in Illinois this week for election of an "independent Republican Congress" that will stand up against President Tru- man.

Fallacy of Equal Education THE WELL-MEANING people who talk of education as if it were a substance dis- tributable by coupon in large or small quali- ties never exhibit any understanding of the truth that you cannot teach anybody any- thing that he does not want to learn. Edu- cation has become fatally entangled with politics, and we hear demand for "equal opportunities for all" and a "higher educa- tion" for all. Egalitarianism Is the current political doctrine, and education the latest panacea. But as a matter of sheer material fact there cannot be equal opportunities If these could be accomplished, the Krem- lin planners were convinced that anti-Com- munist governments in France and Italy would fall and the history of Czechoslovakia would be repeated. *s * * UPSET TIMETABLE What upset the Kremlin timetable was the sudden decision of President Truman to order U.S. troops into Korea plus Secre- tary Acheson's well-planned maneuver to get U.N. Security Council approval for our counterattack. From two reliable sources, we know that the Kremlin was dumbfounded. The 14 men in the Politburo had never expected anything like this, and the Soviet Embassy in Washington was ordered to report immediately as to what went wrong. This upset threw other Soviet moves off schedule. Communist troops, it will be re- called, were all set to invade both Formosa and Yugoslavia, but the attacks were de- layed for reconsideration of strategy. WHAT NEXT FROM KREMLIN? What will happen next is hard to pre- dict. However, two factors seem worth exa- mining. Because the Kremlin's intelligence was so bad regarding Korea, they appear to be worried about trusting intelligence re- ports from other countries. Also, it appears certain that the cur- rent peace front which Malik and Vi- shinsky are waging at Lake Success is aimed to lull us back to appeasement. The last thing the Russians want is an alert, heavily armed U.S.A. Hence the friend- lier speeches, the rumors of a Stalin-Tru- man meeting and the talk that Vishinsky will attend an American football game. Meanwhile there will be riots and ex- ploratory probings in Germany, probable uprisings in Azerbaijan, plus Communist successes in Indo-China. If we appease, the Kremlin will go back to its old bulldozing. If we continue tough, there should be a bona fide change in Krem- lin policy-though this would be a miracle. S* * * "HEADLINES BRING TROUBLE"-H.S.T. President Truman got some stimulating ideas on how to "win the peace" the other day from Harold Russell, armless com- mander of AMVETS and star of the movie, "Best Years of Our Lives." "Instead of waging a 'preventive war' against Russia, as some people advocate. our policy should be one of 'preventive strength'," suggested Russell. "That does- n't mean we have to hold still waiting for any further acts of Soviet aggression. But it does mean that the door for peace must be left open at the U.N. conference table. I'm not one of those who believe that' war with Russia is inevitable." The AMVETS chief hotly assailed Con- gress for failing to pass an excess-profits tax and for appropriating more money for "pork barrel" projects than for atomic re- search. "Profit dollars should go to war the same as men," declared Russell. "Our guys are fighting and dying in battle and unless we back them up at home, the whole thing be- comes a mockery. We've all got to make sacrifices-industry, labor, the farmer-all of us." "Everything you've said makes sense to me," agreed the President. He added that he was grateful to Amvets for not waging a personal war on his cabinet, "like some outfits." "That would have put you in the head- lines," said Truman, "but I didn't go after headlines, either, when I was chairman of the Senate War Investigating Committee. And yet in a poll conducted by a leading magazine *(Look), I was the only member of Congress chosen among the 10 'most use- ful' government officials." His problems really started When he be- gan to get big headlines, added the Presi- dent. "Now," he said, "look at the trouble I'm in." * * * CIVILIAN DEFENSE NEPOTISM Civilian war mobilizer Stuart Symington is one of the most efficient operators in government, but he has one weakness-his family. On the same day President Truman sent his special message to Congress warning American cities to prepare for atomic at- tack, he left the vitally important job of preparing these cities against attack in the hands of a charming socialite who got his job only because he was Symington's brother-in-law. Jerry Wadsworth, now acting head of civilian defense, is a tall, amiable, teddy- bear sort of individual, who at the age of 50 has made no career for himself, but happens to have two potent relatives: (1) His father, GOP Congressman James Wadsworth of New York; and (2) His brother-in-law, Democrat Stuart Symington, head of the National Security Resources Board. From his father he gets a boost from the Republicans, and from his brother-in-law he gets help from the Demo- crats. In fact, shortly after Symington came to Washington as war assets administra- tor, likeable, inexperienced brother-in-law Jerry turned up as his assistant. Later, when Symington was given the Security Board, his brother-in-law came to work under him in civilian defense.

Tydings Win HAIL TO Senator Millard Tyd- ings, and hail to the Demo- cratic voters of Maryland! Sena- tor Tydings won nomination for a fifth term in the primary. He won two to one over the com- bined total of his two opponents. Undoubtedly Senator Tydings' long record of responsible and in- telligent performance stood him in good stead. Senator Tydings has demon- strated that he is as aware as anyone in Congress of the Com- munist threat, from outside and from inside. But he demonstrated also that he understands what he is defending-the right of fair play, the right of the individual to be protected against irrespon- sible legislators, the rules of sound evidence. -St. Louis Star-Times. coached and quarterbacked team. It had a spirit lacking last year and last Saturday and this may have been supplied by the team captain, Tomasi, or Pete Elliott, a real competitor. Evidently it didn't come from Oosterbaan. Last year, strung by sarcastic, gloating comments of Tommy De- vine over our defeats, the team played one inspired game against over-rated Minnesota. They reached their capabilities. They then relapsed to lack-lustre play including the pay-off Ohio State game for which they should have, at least, been pointing. Michigan should have won hands-down but they were outfought just as State outfought them. A coach is sup- posed to get his men ready to play ball, physically and mentally and Oosterbaan doesn't do it. One reason Oosterbaan is not a good coach is because he does not develop players. He lost his Cris- ler players and had few men ready to replace them because he didn't use them the year or two before. We have had. green, mis- take-making quarterbacks because they hadn't played in the games. Bennie's buddy, Orwig, has appar- ently developed no ends. The up- shot of this is deterioration of the team as the parts graduated. Munn used sophomores against us to good effect and more men. Ooster- baan plays with a very small squad and only throws in his substitutes for token appearances. The team lacks the Crisler precision that makes the plays go. Bennie left a veteran blocking, pass-dropping end in all year on offense. You can teach an end to block but not to catch passes. Bennie, a two-time All-Ameri- can basketball star, was made basketball coach, presumably his chief job. He knows basketball and football but can't coach them well. He is not poor, just mediocre, and therefore not good enough for Michigan. -Ralph L. Christensen. * * * Union Station...
