0OrF FACT

FHE ASSOCIATION of Independent Men
has at last provided a reason for its ex-
stence.
And the whole campus rather than
merely the independent men it claims to
represent is benefiting from this reversal
of form.
Tonight the AIM-sponsored Little Club
vill be open for business for the fourth
ime. Customer satisfaction has been al-
nost universal. Already, the Club has
retty well established itself in the campus
ye.
The AIM is to be commended for filling
no annoying vacuum in Ann Arbor social
ife, namely, a place to spend the odd hour
nr so between the show and the door steps
vith your date Friday nights. The music
s reasonably good, all permissable refresh-
nents are available.
The price tag is also quite reasonable.
LIM professes that the operation is
trictly a non-profit affair, and it seems
>robable that increased costs will cut away
t the $60 net profit the Club shows so far.
The venture seems to be here to stay. It
nay mean that warm breezes wafting in
rom the Arboretum will reduce the Little
club's clientel so that operation all through
he spring will be financially impossible.
But the value of the Club when blustery
vinds make indoor activity preferable has
een established by the good patronage.
So for the AIM, there is a bouquet of
roses Instead of the usual crown of thorns.
They have accomplished something more
oncrete than winning discounts on tennis
alls for independents and informing naive
tormitory-dwellers that independent candi-
lates can b'est represent them. One such
chievment is worth a thousand pious proc-
amations of worthy intent.

WASHINGTON - Senator Paul Douglas
of Illinois is now one of the half dozen
key political figures in this country. As the
recent United Press poll of Democratic lead-
ers showed, Douglas is now far and away
the first choice of the professional Demo-
crats for the Presidential nomination, if
President Truman does not choose to run.
It is interesting, and it may be significant,
that Douglas himself appears to regard this
situation with genuine disniay.
The importance of Douglas as a political
figure depends directly, of course, on Tru-
man's real intentions. No one, probably
not even Truman, really knows whether
le will hand on the poisoned Presidential
chalice But those who know Truman
believe that there is a better than even
chance that in the end he will decide not
to run.
The reasons they give sound logical enough
-his age, family pressures, the third term
amendment, the fact that Truman suffers
from no delusions of personal indispensa-
bility, above all the fact that Truman now
heartily dislikes the office which he was so
visibly enjoying only a year ago. Truman
intimates also agree that the President's
own choice for a successor is likely to be
Chief Justice Fred Vinson.
Vinson is popular with his party, but it is
a difficult step from Chief Justice to Presi-
dential candidate. Moreover, although Tru-
man can certainly have the nomination for
himself, it is by no means certain that he
can dictate the nomination of another.
Above all, the professionals are apparently
convinced that Douglas is the best Demo-
cratic bet to win-and winning is what
matters to the professionals.
- +- * *
DOUGLAS DOES NOT look like a man
who would endear himself to profession-
al politicians. He has a long sallow face, an
abstracted manner, and an odd habit of
keeping a cigarette dangling from one side
of his mouth. His clothes look as though
they had been slept in, which they often
have-Douglas tires easily from war wounds,
and often naps in the daytime. Altogether,
Douglas gives more the impression of an
intelligent, perhaps mildly eccentric eco-
nomics professor-which he is-rather than
a startingly successful politician-which he
also is.
For it is startling that after a short
two years as a freshman Senator Douglas
should be a perfectly serious Presidential
possibility. Partly his success derives from
plain intelligence and drive. He has es-
tablished himself as a major foreign policy
spokesman, for example, without a seat on
the Foreign Relations Committee. Another
important political asset is that he is so
obviously untainted by the cronyism and
influence-peddling which is eating into
the Administration and the Democratic
party. But his success also partly derives
from his ability to be all things to all men.
Festival
A PHOTO feature in yesterday's Daily
graphically previewed some of the
treats in store for those who attend the
Student Arts Festival opening today.
This three day festival has, since its
start in 1949, become one of the most
exciting student sponsored events of
the year.
Too often students at a university know
a great deal about past periods and vir-
tually nothing about their own.' The
festival, however, provides an opportun-
ity to see, hear and discuss current works,
not of established names, but of other
students.
The Inter-Arts Union deserves strong
support for its dual accomplishment of
providing an outlet for production of
student works, and giving the community
a chance to find out what their contem-
poraries are doing.

NIGHT EDITOR: VERNON EMERSON

He is a member in good standing of the
New Deal wing of the party, which has lost
ground, but which still exercises a veto
power over Presidential nominations. Yet
the conservatives like him for his stand
on spending and the Southerners do not
dislike him because he has never taken an
extreme position on civil rights.
* * * *
(YNICS INTERPRET this as agile political
acrobatics, performed throughout with
one eye on the White House. Yet Douglas
reacts to suggestions that he might be nom-
inated with what appears to be perfectly
genuine distaste. He has repeatedly told
friends that he is simply not qualified for
the Presidency. He has even talked about
deflating any serious Douglas boom with a
statement patterned on General Sherman's
famous refusal to run.
The cynical might consider even this
sort of thing as standard operating pro-
cedure for ambitious candidates But what
is certainly unusual is Douglas's unquali-
fied enthusiasm for the nomination of a
potential rival. For Douglas is about the
most outspoken of those Democrats who
are beginning rather wistfully to talk
about nominating General Dwight D.
Eisenhower in case Truman withdraws.
Douglas has even remarked that it might
be a good idea to nominate Eisenhower
on both tickets, as a demonstration of
unity in the face of danger.
That a man as intelligent as Douglas,
himself a potential candidate, could ser-
iously entertain such a notion suggests the
extent to which Eisenhower, through no
fault of his own, is in danger of being
transferred into a sort of father image,
with a magic ability to exorcise all the na-
tional woes. It also suggests that for the
time being at least, Douglas is a sincerely
reluctant dragon. Yet time, the pressure
of events, and the glittering prize of great
office have a way of modifying this sort of
reluctance. If the chances are really better
than even that Truman will not run, those
interested in the Presidential sweepstakes
will do well to keep an eye on the gangling
economics professor from Illinois.

ROAD TO HEAVEN, Swedish film with
Rune Lindstrom. English titles.
A WARM-BLOODED, light-hearted alle-
gorical fantasy is somehow the last
thing one would expect from the Swedes.
They prove, beyond a doubt, however, that
they are master of the art with the current
Cinema Guild offering which is at once ap-
propriate Easter-time fare, and, better yet,
rare and exciting entertainment.
This s achieved by a wondrously success-
ful combination of comic opera Faust with
a Scandinavian Wilgrim's Progress" that
takes its hero from a small seventeenth cen-
tury village through temptation to the
Elysian Fields themselves. Accomplished
without benefit of clouds, marble staircases,
or supernatural wit, this journey retains the
broad wordic quality of the scenes of town
life which precede it. These scenes have
set up the resolve of the hero to make the
pilgrimage in order to learn in heaven why
his betrothed has been unjustly burned as
a witch by the superstitious villagers.
Throughout, the overtone of fantasy is
abetted by extremely imaginative photogra-
phy which for a change is not afraid to
come out into the sunlight again, proving
that European films can be good without
being murky. Score one for the Stockholm
Chamber of Commerce.
Pre-eminently responsible for "Road to
Heaven" is Rune Lindstrom, who wrote the
script and plays the lead. Looking 'like a
blond Jerry Lewis, he manages the widest'
series of facial expressions imaginable. Pri-
marily, however, he is the thoroughly human
pilgrim undaunted by King Solomon, the
Virgin Mary, or even Satan himself. His
rich pantomiming and a first-rate musical
score are probably the top assets of the pic-
ture. Alf Sjoberg of "Torment" directs.
This is one you ought to see.

Heifetz Review . . *
To the Editor:s
AFTER READING Mr. Harvey
Gross' review of the Heifetz
concert, I could not help but bec
impressed with the inadequacy ofI
the writeup. As a music lover, Mr.I
Gross is entitled to his own views.
In his criticisms, however, these
views obstruct a sympathetic ap-i
proach to the extent that any
understanding of the underlying
spirit of the concert is impossible.-
This prejudice is combined, fur-1
thermore, with a most disgusting
display of erudition. Mr. Gross,
for instance, seems especially in-
terested in telling us that he was
"armed with a score." "Armed"
is -perhaps a good word, in that
it shows how the score was really
nothing more than a means of jus-
tifying these preconceived atti-
tudes. The use of the score ap-
pears to me tobe almost sm-
bolic of the way in which Mr.t
Gross tried to pit his erudition
against the interpretation of Mr.
Heifetz.
In the process, the whole pur-
pose and underlying tone of the
whole recital were lost~to Mr.
Gross. Perhaps it might have
helped him to take his nose out
of his score to look at the facial
expressions of the audience, dur-
ing the "excruciatingly tiresome"
Paganini Caprice. Mr. Heifetz is
certainly not the greatest inter-
preter of Mozart and Beethoven;
and I prefer that he iplay Wie-
nawski and Paganini, leaving those
niawski and Paganini, leaving1
those greater masters to artists
with a natural inclination for thatl
style. For sheer technical mastery1
and brilliance, the like of which isl
seldom equalled by last night'sc
recital, I prefer Mr. Heifetz . .
Mr. Gross is certainly not thea
only person with such unjustified,
personal prejudices; and he cer-
tainly has the right to such opin-
ions for himself. But when Mr.
Gross attempts to force these pre-
judices on other persons through
the Michigan Daily, I am of the
opinion that an objection is in
order from those who attend such
concerts for the purpose of enjoy-
ing great artistry.!

Hllf etz Review .
To the Editor:
Harvey Gross' self defense side-
steps the basic issue: whether he
fulfills the functions of presenting
competently a "critical evaluation
of the work" and of the artist. I
submit that he does not!
1. His classifying authors of
condemnatory letters as believing
that "criticism of any kind is
worthless" is obvious distortation.
2. His analyzing the objections,
to his Heifetz review by attempt-
ing to show that they grow out of,
"a distrust of reason and informed
thinking" is merely begging the;
question.
3. His all-inclusive codification!
of his critics' arguments is sophis-
try.
These (and other) questions
might be asked of Gross:;
1. Why did he spend one-fourth
of his review on the repeats in
the 1st and 3rd movements of the
Kreutzer when: i
a. These repeats are alrhost
never played by any artist. ;

b. There are innumerable works1
written during the classical, tran-
sitional, and early romantic per-1
iods which today are played with-I
out the original repeats. This in-]
cludes nearly, every Haydn sym-
phony, most of Mozart, early Bee-i
thoven, and more.1
2. Why did he spend another
fourth of his review on the mark-1
ings of Adagio and Presto when:
a. In the first movement alone
of the Joachim edition there are
more than a dozen marks of tem-
po variation other than Adagio1
and Presto.
b. In interpreting music, an'
artist will always take liberties in'
tempo other than those written.
3. Why did he take a score to
the concert?
The reader will find that:
1. None of these questions pre-
supposes that "criticism of any
kind is worthless."
2. None of these questions grows
out of a "distrust of reason and
informed thinking."
3. None of these questions falls
within Gross' six false groupings
of letter-writers' arguments.
4. All of these questions point
toward a peremptory conclusion:
Harvey Gross is not capably ful-
filling the functions of a critic.
-Dave Belin
Reif etz Review . . .
To the Editor:
Y SMALLEST objection to Mr.
Gross is that he has the col-
lossal nerve to attend a concert
"armed with a score." (I would
hate to think that a "music critic"
was not familiar enough with the
Kreutzer Sonata to follow it v:ith-
out a mechanical aid.)
I wonder by what magnificent
revelation Mr. Gross has become
an authority on the original in-
tentions of L. von Beethoven? No
two artists have ever performed
a single work in exactly the same
manner, as we know. Whose in-
terpretation does Mr. Gross de-
mand Heifetz should play? As
to repeats; who is the better judge
as to the length of time required
for an audience to grasp a well-
known composition? The artist,
who has undoubtedly had scores
of comments on the piece from
his audiences, or the "critic," who,
judging by his score-carrying,
must be hearing it for the first
time?I
Mr. Gross further objects to
chromatic leanings toward empha-
sized tones. It seems to me there
is a fairly good basis for this, if
one is needed, in the practice of
solo violinists throughout the
world doing exactly the same
thing.
I think Mr. Gross has lost sight
of the fact that a critic must
place before the public an account
of the performance in all its as-
pects, even (imagine!) to praise
a concert when praise is deserved.
What would you have done if Hei-
fetz had played the Kreutzer So-
nata exactly as your particular
score indicated Mr. Gross? Con-
demn him for having the imagin-
ation of a tuba player in a Ger-
man band?
Realizing, perhaps, that he has
assumed a good bit of authority
in his review, Mr. Gross feels the
need to quote a "musician friend"
for his final barb. The prefix "mu-

sician" is assumed with critics'
friends, Mr. G. You seem to be on
the defensive, and I can't see
that this is in any way out of
order.
-Dave LeClair
Heifetz Review
To the Editor:
BEING ONE of the unfortunate
individuals attending the Hei-
fetz concert totally unprepared
(unarmed with adequate scores
and suitable pre-concert prepara-
tion) and dependent entirely up-
on aural perception, I should like
to pen a few remarks concerning
Mr. Gross' vitriolic and extremely
inadequate review of the pro-
gram.
1. Concerning total unity. A
program as carefully planned and
artistically executed should be de-
serving of a proper review, with
the total effect as well as the
detailed analysis presented; Mr.
Gross (complete with score) de-
votes 2/3 of his space to one com-
position which was % of the total
recital. In defense of Mr. Heifetz,
may I say that the Kreutzer sona-
ta is long and if Harvey were not
so "in-Gross-ed" in the score (in
passing-was it an original or ed-
ited edition, Mr. G.?), -perhaps he
would have noted the increased
number of coughs and audience
unrest during the middle of the
2nd and 3rd movements . . . In
addition, it is a sacrilege to omit
mention of such superb ensemble
performance of both Heifetz and
his accompanist, Emanuel Bay.
Very few pianists have such in-
tuitive response and capacity for
proper subordination and projec-
tion, and not even to mention him
at all is an unforgivable oversight.
2. The abrupt mention of the
beautifully executed 2nd half of
the program is inexcusable .. .
3. What muse whispered in Mr.
Gross' ear concerning the inter-
pretation of a composition, be it
Beethoven or any other composer?
Within the bounds of good taste,
interpretation is up to the artist
to deviate as he wills, and who
is the ultimate authority to ascer-
tain what the composer meant-
even the composer changes his
mind!
4. In conclusion. With such as-
tounding pyrotechnics at his fin-
gertips, to present a program of
exceedingly high musical calibre
with the minimum of virtuosic dis-
play (compared to what lengths
of blatant exhibitionism that could
be fostered upon a receptive aud-
ience) is indeed a salute to the
lofty artistic standards which has
made the name Heifetz synony-
mous not with "violinist" but with
"artist."

Witchery . .
To the Editor:
SHALL never forget the night
I first saw them. I w s study-
ing late when rather suddenly I
became aware that something was
happening on the flat top of the
shade on my desk lamp. They
were so small I had to look twice
to be sure they were there at all,
but one thing was certain, they
were having an intense argument.
In the wee-hour quiet, the rise
and fall of their tiny voices was
quite audible. I prought my face
closer, to the lamp to see if I
could make out the words. The
one in the purple overcoat dis-
tinctly said,
"Faith and your blarney will be
the death of us. If we're not about
saving the American culture the
jig's up." The other one, whose
wings twitched excitedly when he
talked said,
"Sure n' it's witchery that
makesa Dublin man talk such
nonsense. Of course we have t
save our culture-rights of the in-

dividual and the rest of it-but
where will we be with the whole
blasted world against us?" 'The
purple overcoat (and I say this
advisedly because it was impos-
esible to tell whether there was
anything initorenot) replied as
follows,
"There's not a man jack in the
whole Little Man's Elve's Nome's
and Leprechaun's Marching anc
Chowder Society who would not
be after.saying that relief work is
all very well in its place, but a
national emergency is a national
emergency." The wings were
twitching again.
"Begorri and it's a fat head thai
rests on your crooked shoulders.
If this World Student Service
Fund is anything, it's friendship
around the world, and the worse
the war, the more we need the
friendship."
"Imbecile!"
"Leprachaun-"
They've been with me eve:
since. From what I've heard a
number of others seem to have en
countered them too. When the
World Student Service Fund to-
tals up the contributions at the
end of this drive week, we will
know which argument was th(
most effective.
-Wym Price

Society Ills .
To the Editor:
NO GOVERNMENT or society is
perfect. While it is extremely
deplorable that there should be
injustice and unfair treatment of
any portion of our population it
should be 'well-remembered that
conditions are getting better
through the years and should
continue to improve in the future.
There is no nation with a minority
problem that has a better record
than the United States, unsatis-
factory as it may be. 'That is a
word of caution to anyone who
might think that a different form
of government would be better
simply because our own doesn't
operate faultlessly.
Letter-writers to The Daily have
linked "operation killer" to the
McGee case. Killing people isn't
humane but as long as the pre-
servation of our way runs counter
to the single-minded relentless
push of Russian Communism then
the American people must engage
in war and interventions, as in
Korea. Fighting involvesskilling;
the alternative is a pacifistic res-
ignation to beinghwalked over by
the Russians. They wouldn't be
faced with the scruples the Brit-
ish had towards Ghandi and his
followers.
In fighting a war you can either
stress occupying territory or seek
out and destroy the enemy man-
power and material. The strategy
of the Eighth Army is to kill the
enemy and hit their supply lines,
extended as they are, and this
strategy is realistic and bffective.
The dead, be it United Nations or
Communist, are on the heads of
the Kremlin. They can call off the
fighting anytime.

Reviews. . .
To the Editor:
A NOT for Siegfried.
Let me recall for you the
Gross review of the Don Cossack
concert in January of this year.
As I recall, it was the most stupid,
sloppy reporting on concerts that
I have yet witnessed in four years
on the Michigan campus. Mr.
Gross stated in his review of that
concert that it was ill performed
because he was distracted by the
receding hairlines of the aging
choristers and the "irritating pos-
turing and mugging of Jaroff." A
Gross naivete. And now Mr. Fel-
ler steps up to tell us that "When
you read one of Mr.Gross' reviews,
you may be sure that he knows
what he is talking about, that he
expresses himself honestly and
well, after careful consideration.
No one has the right to demand
more." If you will pardon the
corn again, Mr. Feller, you have
both grossly miscalculated the
mental visibility of the students.
I am sure that The Daily does
have a responsibility to its sub-
scribing public, if they desire it,
to provide a somewhat more de-
cent kind of concert reporting.
But, perhaps I had better not
complain because Mr. Feller says
that no one has the right to de-
mand any more than what Mr.
Gross can offer us.

JUNIOR GIRLS' PLAY, produced by the
women of the class of 1952, at the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.
WITH A GRANDIOSE SHOW-WITHIN-A-
show, a liberal sprinkling of corn and a
few sprightly song and dance numbers, the
'52 JGP kept up bhe high tradition of past
junior women's productions.
The plot concerned four stage struck
young ladies who braved the hazards of
New York tenements, an irate landlady and
a ghost-ridden theatre to produce a show.
The tenement district produced "Princess
Ormintrude" who succeeded in murdering
a theme from "La Boheme" for the first
rea lshow-stoner. and a couple of Irish

dancers. Patty Joy bounced enthusiastically
to ask "Won't You Be My Baked Alaska?"
and a top-flight tap line rounded out the
performance in a chorus number titled
"Things Are Cheap at the Five and Ten."
Special citations go to Nancy Watkins for
an unforgettable janitor, Sally Hughes Gre-
sham for her irrepressible Fuller Brush Man,
and Nancy Carter as the enterprising hero-
ine.
Scenery in the first two acts was excel-
lent, creating lots of depth and a minimum
of stumbling blocks. The diction, both in
spoken lines and songs, was so clear that
the audience missed none of the clever
repartee, and the whole how moved swift-
lv anl smnthly tn its grand finale.
