Transportation Strike
DETROIT DSR strike which has
rown during the last 18 days into ra-
serious proportions poses one of labor-
gement's most knotty problems because
>ublic interest in utility operations is
:losely interknit.
riginally, the DSR union drivers and
esentatives of the city (the transit
is owned by the city of Detroit) were
,rated by approximately three cents
hour between ,offers and demands.
i the breakdown of collective bar-
ing, the drivers went out on strike.
e then anti-strike legislation has been
eked ,the strikers have been fired and
about everybody has forgotten that
original fight was over a three cent
e of the outstanding developments of
lispute has been the failure of both
to capitalize on their trump card. The
was overly confident that the DSR
it monopoly would put them in a grand
Day
HE UNIVERSITY'S Fresh Air Camp,
operating for two months every
imer, helps underprivileged children
a firm footing in a forgetful society
providing understanding leadership in
ariety of summer activities.
Aost of the children come from broken
nes in the lower economic groups. So-
n agencies call them the "in-betWeens"
otential juvenile delinquents whose
ustment difficulties must be alleviated
ore it is too late.
)ne-third of the funds for camp oper-
rns is traditionally donated by stu-
ts, faculty members and other Mi-
gan residents. But the students par-
ilarly have always taken a leading
ad in keeping this important project
re..
n fact, without all-out student sup-
't for Tag Day today the camp cannot
tinue to provide the splendid and
que service that it has during the past
years.
The student quota has not been met
ce 1948 and consequently waslowered
$1,000 this year. It will be a sad com-
ntary on the student body if the
000 goal As not reached.
rwo bits is a small price for a better
bargaining position. But the crippling strike
hasn't proven quite as crippling as the un-
ion expected. Share the ride plans, Thumb-
er's Club and suburban bus service have
kept Detroiter's moving. After 18 days the
city is still functioning-maybe not as ef-
ficiently-but functioning.
The big disappointment for the city has
been the failure 'of the Hutchinson Act to
whip the utility workers into line. The act
provides for the firing of striking utility
workers, non-recognition of their union and
provisions for rehiring the strikers as new
workers-minus seniority rights, retirement
pension accumulation and other benefits.
Although all this can happen in theory, in
practice it doesn't cut a bit of ice with the
union.
They remember other utility strikes in
Detroit (the Detroit Public Works, for ex-
ample) in which the Hutchinson Act was
invoked, but entirely forgotten when the
final settlement was made. In the current
strike Mayor Cobo has already violated one
provision of the act by negotiating with a,
union which according to the invoked law
is ion-existent.
However, it's pretty clear that Detroit
can't struggle indefinitely without a trans-
portation system. The Thumber's Club at
best is only an emergency measure.
It appears that about the only thing
the mayor can do is to start at least a
limited service by finding drivers not con-
nected with the striking union. The be-
ginning of bus service to areas in most
critical need will clearly demonstrate to
the strikers that the city is not backing
down on an important public interest is-
sue. Although the union will consider
these men strike breakers, in the eyes of
the law they are men hired to replace
workers who have been fired.
Tke nasty part of hiring new drivers is
the possibility of violence. If the union be-
lieves they are losing the strike, their jobs
and the prestige of the union, roughhousing
may take place. But in such a case where
3,500 men are threatening the safety' of a
great metropolis, there is no question whose
interests should prevail.

NIGHT EDITOR: DONNA HENDLEMAN
DORIS FLEESON:
General Mac
WASHINGTON-In the presidential elec-
tion picture, where his views are of as
much interest to many ambitious men as
are his military opinions, Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur remains, after three long days of
Senate Committee hearings here, still an
enigma.
The only politician who now knows abso-
lutely how the general stands with respect
to him is President Truman. He's against
him period.
General MacArthur went further than to
suggest that the President had made serious
mistakes. He invited the American public
to correct those mistakes at the polls next
year.
But by differing publicly with the views of
such Republicans as former President Hoov-
er and would-be presidents Taft and Wherry,
the general has cast a dark shadow on the
efforts of the Republican right to claim him
as their own. More liberal Republicans, as
Senators Lodge, Knowland and Ives, who
are interventionists in Europe as well as in
Asia, are intensely relieved by this develop-
ment.
It gave them special pleasure when the
Pacific war leader in effect justified their
troops-to-Europe stand in opposition to the
Taft leadership by branding a Taft restric-
tive proposal "just silly." This is the kind
of language they are accustomed to having
Mister Republican dish out to his opponents
rather than accept from those with whom he
associates himself.
Some students of the hearings so far,
believe that if General MacArthur is not
himself a candidate he intends to hold
aloof for a long while until he sees what
aspirants follow best the lines he has laid
out. They noted also that the MacArthur
views on Europe set him apart from at
least one of his most vocal supporters in
the press.

PWO SMALL SHOWS, circulated by the
American Federation of Vts, have op-
led at the Museum of Art this week: The
far collection of ballet designs and cos-
imes and a group of 37 recent Italian
rawings.
The latter, the more interesting of the
we exhibitions, encompasses the graphic
work of several younger artists whose
names are relatively unknown. However,
he unfamiliarity of their names are com-
oiensated for by the familiarity of their
eneral styles, since most of them are here
jharacterized by an expressionistic real-
sm and are strongly under the influence
I nineteenth century Italian romanti-
ism, especially the neo-classic stream.
Under this heading falls both the work of
[do Pagliacci, using light colored conte
ayons on dark paper with a fine academic
chnique and' Urbani's rather dull genre
tbjects in brown ink. Renzo Vespignani
ses a new and quite interesting smeared
.k technique. His well-calculated composi-
ons, remindful of Japanese prints, are re-
eshingly crisp and worth special notice.
Carlo Levi, working in this same romantic
Dorm Food
tradition but with an almost baroque gusto
offers a still life with pheasant in bold line
while Dario Cecchi, in a much finer, almost
engraving-like pen work, becomes nearly
photographic in his 'Birds' and "Apparition,"
Abstract compositions take over the rest
'of the show as represented by Corrado Cagli
and Mirko who have received more atten-
tion in the contemporary Italian !picture.
Cagli is shown here with two works in low
tempera tones and displaying an accom-
plished Italian craftsmanship. His cold
forms are reminiscent of t the surrealistic
work of Di Chirico who is also seen in Cag-
li's drawings where twisting abstract forms
are set in a positively conceived space.
Mirko is represented, in addition to his
drawings, by three abstract watercolors
which, along with the semi-abstract wa-
tercolors of Edoardo Bargheer show a ten-
dency to use muddy tones. Mirko's sharp
angular forms are more appealing than his
color though the thin wash quality of Barg-
heer's 'Boy from Ischia' seems successful.
Marino Marini, with successful exhibits
behind him, shows a vague Picasso in-
fluence and is thus also somethng of a de-
parture.
Generally the show emphasizes a post-
war search by the younger generation for
a valid expressive means within their own
cultural and artistic heritage, displaying
sincerity of aim, technical excellence,
and only occasionally a lack of vital ex-
pression,
The second show which will be of special
interest to ballet lovers, comprises a col-
lection of costume and curtain designs for
the,ballets commissioned for the most part
during the twenties by the well known im-
presario Serge Diaghilew, then in his prime.
The collection was given to the dancer
Serge Lifar who is graphically represented
in the show by Pavel Tchelitchew's sketch
for his portrait. The drawings are mainly
working sketches and are more interesting
for the fact that they offer sidelights on
the imaginative talents of such noted paint-
ers as Giorgio Di Chirico, Andre Derain,
and Max Ernst.
-Gerald G. Gibson
Voice of America
FROM two unusually well-qualified sources
has come evidence of the importance of
the Voice of America in the free world's
arsenal.
Democrats take what comfort they can
from General MacArthur's contradiction of
Senators Taft, Wherry, etc. who had, up to
now, been carrying all before them. They
are also pleased that he declined the easy
target, Secretary of State Acheson; they still
hope and believe that his substitute, General
Marshall, can hold his own.
The White House knows now, however,
that it's in a fight and is manifesting con-
cern. Political strategists and public-opinion
experts who have enjoyed some past suc-
cesses are being called in for advice; there
are still no signs that their advice is being
taken but these may appear as the adminis-
tration develops its side of the story.
What General MacArthur will not get is
any hasty action by the Congress. He has
posed a clear course but it involves risks of
war that politicians will be slow to take.
Obviously the administration won't take
them; they are still convinced they are right.
Congress could force the MacArthur issue
by way of the appropriations route; it has
the votes in the appropriations committee
to withhold funds for military purposes until
its desires are met.
It is a question, however, how far the
MacArthur adherents would get on the
floor. The Democrats at long last have
been pulled together by a major issue;
they are acting like a party for a change,
and the conservative coalition is temporar-
ily dissolved. Their leaders express confi-
dence that they can hold on this one,
especially if General Ridgway continues
to do so well in Korea.
If he doesn't, then anything, they think,
can happen, regardless of General MacAr-
thur, since the failure to find decent Korean
solutions is his greatest asset with the public.

Heretofore, I felt that before
we did anything along this line,i
India should end its trade war,
with Pakistan, from which coun-
try it will be able to get wheat.
I understand that India and
Pakistan have now negotiated a
trade agreement,but have not
seen all of its details. I do not
want to go into this matter fur-
ther before determining that all
the differences in regard to
trade between the two countries
are completely settled.
There are other factors which
we must explore carefully and
give attention to in connection
with this legislation; namely,
the question of India's ability to
pay for the wheat she desires
from the United States just as
she intends to pay for great
quantities which she is plan-
ning to obtain from other coun-
tries throughout the world.
Also, it has developed that In-
dia is restricting shipments of
certain necessary materials to
our country which we need, par-
ticularly a certain type of sand
for use in connection with our
atomic energy projects. I believe
in all fairness that before we
proceed to send wheat to India
that India, in turn, should agree
to ship to our country the neces-
sary materials for our defense,
program. I intend to give very
careful study to all points be-
fore deciding what ought to be
done in this matter.
Sincerely,
Homer Ferguson"
We hope that this will enable
the readers to judge the merits of
the Senator's reply for themselves.

To the Editor:
I AM VERY much concerned with
the new ruling that all speakers
sponsored by S.R.A. and Lane Hall

extended its authority to the point
where it is going to dictate to us
what to think in religious, ethical,
and moral matters? We came here
to learn how to sift the good fromn
the bad, the true from the false,
and not to be told what is good and

Looking Back
LONG WITH the recent boost in dormi-
tory board and room rates came an an-
iuncement that the quality of the food in
e residence halls would be improved.
If by quality, the University means that
ood food will be cooked and served skill-
ully, better meals might be forthcoming.
gut if quality means merely the purchas-
ng of better and more expensive meats
nd produce, then the chance of an im-
rovement is slight.
Anyone who eats dorm food for a short
ne will discover that it is seldom pre-
red or served to bring out its most ap-
ling aspects.
The chief reason for the low quality is
at the food is prepared early in the day
id kept warm until meal time. Salads are
ten made a day or two ahead of time and
ft to wilt in the refrigerators. Coffee,
lich could reasonably^ be made as it is
eded, is brewed an hour before most
eals.
Improper balancing of food is another
use of poor meals. Lunches, in particular,
ay range from a skimpy dose of greens
id soup to the week's supply of starch in
ie meal.
