Student Legislature's Victory

THE REOPENING of the General Library
on Sundays and Friday evenings is the
first clear victory in the history of the Stu-
dent Legislature.
A number of lessons may be learned from
the controversy which should have a mo-
mentous effect on the power of student
opinion in the years to come.
First, the Student Legislature, through
strong leadership and good Daily coverage,
has emerged as a fairly potent, though cer-
tainly not flawless, spokesman for the stu-
dent interest.
Whether or not it will continue to be so
depends on the continuance of wise steering
and, the initiation of intelligent policies.
Second, it can now be seen that in the
past the Legislature has been too concili-
atory in its relations with University of-
ficials. It has overestimated the effect-
iveness of compromise and administration
concern with student needs.
Third, the falsity of the flat statement
"we haven't the money," and other cliches
combatting student demands, has been dem-
onstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Editorials published in The Michigan Daily
are written by members of The Daily staff
and represent the views of the writers only.
NIGHT EDITOR: HARLAND BRITZ

Student protest put officials under fire and
it turned out that money could be given to
the Library.
And finally, the desirability of pressure
tactics in certain situations has been shown.
Some qualifications must be set down,
however. Pressure can go too far and have
an opposite effect from its intent. Several.
political leaders on campus have used pres-
sure for personal publicity in past years,
completely overlooking their supposed
goals.
Accordingly, SL needn't boycott the SAC
every time it wants something. It happened
to work once under a particular set of cir-
cumstances.
It might also be added that the SL triumph
should cause no complacency on the part of
either the legislators or the students. The SL
walkout was not an intelligently conceived
move. It came about during an emotional
meeting in which juvenility in student gov-
ernment hit some sort of a peak. Fortunately,
worked.
SL must now realize that some brick
walls can't be smiled through. The blud-
geon is not yet outdated. But it must be
applied appropriately and with studied
vigor.
In the upcoming campus elections, if stu-
dents inject a good dose of maturity in the
Legislature, they have a better than even
chance of coming out on top.

By JOSEPH ALSOP I

WASHINGTON-The five and dime brands
of the influence game continues to en-
gage the delighted, exclusive attention of the
press, the public and the Congress. What is
surprising is, simply, that anyone should be
surprised by the disclosure that the Litho-
fold Corporation hired the well-connected
political law firm of Boyle and Siskind with
results favorable to itself.
Hiring political lawyers does not consti-
tute bribery and fraud. Neither does the
careful cultivation of usefully placed offi-
cials and law-makers. Neither does contri-
buting to political campaigns on a largej
scale. In many sectors of American busi-
ness, these are, in fact, customary acti-
vities, having exactly the same purpose as
the Lithofold retainer to Bill Boyle's law
firm.
For some great respectable corporations
governmental decisions are of extra-special
importance. And certain of these corpora-
tions even organize themselves to carry on
their business-political activities systemati-
cally, continuously and with maximum pro-
ductivity.
Among such corporations, perhaps the
most successful, is Pan American Airways,
where political operations are as efficient
as its air operations. Like most of the large
corporate dabblers in politics, Pan American
bets on both colors, or, in other words, has
close links with both parties.
* * *
THE PAN AMERICAN apostle to the Re-
publicans is the former Connecticut na-
tional committeeman and former vice-chair-
man and Eastern trea'er of the Republi-i
can National Committee, Sam Pryor. Pryor's
title is vice-president and assistant to the
president, Juan Trippe, but his clever way
with politicians earns him a higher salary
than Pan American president Trippe himself.
To be cultivated by Pryor is a certificate of
political importance for both Republicans
and Democrats, and many possess this cer-
tif icate.
The Pan American board has always
included the names of politically active
Republican businessmen, including David
Sinton Ingalls, cousin and manager of
Senator Robert A. Taft. And the Republi-
can Senator from Pan American, as he is
called in the lobbies, is Owen Brewster of
Maine, one of Senator Taft's chief lieu-
tenants on the Senate floor.
As the public record shows, Brewster is so
friendly to Pan American that he acted as
the company's plenipotentiary in the big
Transcontinental and Western Airlines case,
carrying on crucial negotiations with TWA's
controlling stockholder, Howard Hughes.
Hughes later charged that the Senator had
received many special favors from the com-
pany. Brewster replied by self-righteously
demanding an investigation by the Justice
Department.
As it happened, the Attorney General on
the Democratic side of the street at that
moment was Tom Clark. In course of his
dizzying ascent from oil lobbyist before the
Texas legislature to Justice of the Supreme
Court, Clark had also become an eminent
Pan American friend and member of the
Pryor circle. The Justice Department did not
grant Senator Brewster's request to be in-j
vestigated.
AMONG SENATE Democrats. the most
conspicuous Pan American friend is Pat
McCarran of Nevada, whose son-in-law, Ed-
win Parry Hay, used to work for the com-
pany. McCarran sponsored the statute es-
tablishing the Civil Aeronautics Board, which1
regulates Pan American. And he and Sena-
tor Brewster set a nraiseworthv nattern of

paration occurred when he became De-
fense Secretary; but Steptoe & Johnson
retained the Pan American account, and
Johnson is now back at the old stand, run-
ning Steptoe & Johnson, and getting his
Pan American fees again.
Finally, the Pan American apostle to the
Democrats is J. Carroll Cone, an almost too
familiar figure in the Capitol lobbies. In the
company hierarchy, the Democratic Cone
has to content himself with the lesser title
of assistant vice-president.
* * *
CONE IS KNOWN to have sold more Jack-
son Day dinner tickets than almost any
other laborer in this specialized vineyard-
he himself admits to around 200, which
would mean $20,000 worth, but his admirers
put the figure far higher. It is also an open
secret that when the Democrats were liter-
ally unable to find cash to pay for radio
time in the 1948 campaign, the beneficent
Cone took the lead in providing Louis John-
son with the sums needed to put the Presi-
dent on the air. It can be understood why
Cone is highly thought of.
No one can say what the current bill
may be for all this no doubt quite legal
structure of political friendship and in-
fluence. But back in cheap, easy 1938 and
1939, it is on record that just one Pan
American official, senior vice-president
Robert Thach, was paid upwards of $100,-
00O on expense vouchers for such items as
hotel and restaurant checks, long distance
calls, "sight seeing" and "rent of deck
chairs." It would be interesting to know
the cost, at inflation-era prices, of winning
friends and influencing people.
Yet the cost is secondary, since it must
be repeated that bribery and fraud are not
in question here. Pan American has only
indulged, unusually intensively and system-
atically, in certain practices which are
standard in wide sectors of American busi-
ness. Many questions may be asked about the
social desirability of these practices, and
about the wisdom of political arrangements
which invite and even encourage these prac-
tices. But these very far-reaching questions,
which involve such complex problems as the
best method of financing political campaigns,
have not even been mentioned during the
current commotion about the five and dime
players of the influence game.

WASHINGTON-In what may be the final
year of his presidency, Harry S. Tru-
man now plans to challenge Congress on
every issue he has ever put before them.
He will hurl back at the conservative
coalition his entire fair deal. He will de-
mand passage of measures to strengthen
and expand his foreign policy in its every
aspect including rearmament, Universal
Military Training, the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, and heavier taxes to
put it on a pay-as-you-go basis. It is prob-
able that he will also seek to rough in
some form of alliances corresponding to
NATO to cover the Middle and Far East.
Nothing will be too controversial to be
omitted. He has already passed the buck to
Congress on the appointment of an ambassa-
dor to the Vatican and he is not going to
take them off that or any other hook. He will
ask again for repeal of the Taft-Hartley act.
The Civil Rights program, including a Fair
Employment Practices Commission, and
statehood for Alaska and Hawaii are high on
his resubmission list. Some kind of federal
health program and federal aid to education
will once more confront the reluctant legis-
lators.
The great valley authorities for the Co-
lumbia and Missouri rivers, correspanding
to TVA, will be included. So will a Tide-
lands Oil Bill for federal management of
the continental shelf and reduction of the
present generous oil-depletion tax allow-
ances, both especially irksome to the
South.
All this is the homework which the Presi-
dent will take to Key West November 8 for
incorporation into his message on the State
of the Union, the budget, and various spe-
cial messages which will follow after them.
Cabinet members have been alerted and in-
structed to provide all the necessary mater-
ials that the White House staff will need
to work with.
The President is described as calm, collect-
ed and even cheerful as he faces toward the
storms he will raise over Capitol Hill. His
attitude is said to be:
"This is my story. Let the people decide."
Mr. Truman is staking his justly famed
reputation for political sagacity on the
1952 offensive he has blocked out in the
manner described above. He won in 1948
with a head-on attack on a Congress which
rejected much of this same program; ap-
parently he believes that he or another
Democratic candidate can do it again.
Principally it appears that he is much
more concerned with his own place in his-
tory than with the fortunes of the Democra-
tic Party. The grand strategy he has out-
lined will cut deeply into Democratic party
solidarity which at the moment is not par-
ticularly solid.
Probably his answer is that Senator Byrd
and others cannot be appeased or won over
no matter what sacrifices of principle the
President made. In any case, Mr. Truman
proposes to make none. He has a program
and he thinks it will win with the votes over
the negativism of his opposition.
A surprising number of people agree with
him, despite present scandals in Wash-
ington. They include Republicans and ac-
count for the almost frantic efforts to
make General Eisenhower the Republican
candidate. Only the most dedicated Taft
supporters look forward with pleasure to
the Senator tackling a Truman on the
rampage.
Mr. Truman's defiance of Congress fore-
bodes another hectic year. With the program
he now intends to send to the Hill, he can
campaign but he cannot govern with any

pretense of harmony.

Catholic Censoship...
To the Editor:
WITH REGARD to Mr. Samra's
recent editorial entitled "Ca-
tholic Censorship," I should like
to quote, in its entirety, the Pledge
of the Legion of Decency, which
Catholics give voluntarily as a re-
affirmation of their moral beliefs.
"I condemn indecent and im-
moral motion pictures, and those
which glorify crime or criminals.
'"I promise to do all that I can
to strengthen p u b li c opinion
against the production of indecent
and immoral films, and to unite
with all who protest against them.
"I acknowledge my obligation to
form a right conscience about pic-
tures that are dangerous to my
moral life. As a member of the Le-
gion of Decency, I pledge myself to
remain away from them. I pro-
mise, further, to stay away alto-
gether from places of amusement
which show them as a matter of
policy."
It seems to me that the believer
in any creed except the religion of
amorality makes such a statement
of moral reservations, whether ex-
plicit or mental.

U .N. truce negotiators in Korea apparently
are not swallowing whole hog the theory
that, because the Chinese have offered new
truce line concessions, they are really ready
to go through with a cease-fire.
There was no denying the Communists
had made great concessions. Beginning
with their abandonment of the 38th paral-
lel as the basis for a buffer zone, they have
now agreed to a 21 mile strip along what
they say is the present battle line.
One trouble is that their maps don't agree
-in their favor-with Allied maps showing
just where the battle line is. And in the re-
adjustments both sides have agreed to make
along the general front, both want Kaesong.
While the negotiators thus appeared near-
er to agreement than ever before, the fact
the Communists stressed that this was their

sia was not prepared to give as it increased
the danger of a general war.
The atmosphere has been such, however,
that the Allies have been forced to operate
on the awareness that the negotiations might
merely be a screen for an enemy buildup.
There are also indications that Russia might
be trying to pin down Allied strength with a
half war to prevent its concentration in
Europe.
Instead of being ready for a truce now,
the Communists may have decided merely
to pass on to another phase of making
difficulty about a truce. Even if a buffer
zone is agreed upon, there still will re-
main the question of policing it.
Yet the overwhelming impression remains
that the Communists need not have started
truce talks at all, need have made no con-
cessions at all, unless they really wanted
something to come of it.
