-- - -k. 'I PAGE FOUR' Political Means APPARENTLY, SOMEBODY in Michigan's Democratic Party is pulling some rather glaring blunders, extensive enough to force a full-scale congressional investigation into the fund raising tactics of the State's party. Only this summer, Michigan's maverick of the Democratic Party, Stephen J. Roth, demanded the resignation of Neil O. Staebler, Democratic State Central Com- mittee chairman, for allegedly asking cam- paign contributions from "appointees" of Gov. G. Mennen Williams, Whether Roth, former attorney general, had substantial evidence against Staebler himself is questionable. Staebler is known among his Democratic colleagues for his in- tegrity and intellectual prowess. The fact that Roth also had political aspirations for Sen. Blair Moody's present job (Staebler, many contend, was instrumental in backing Moody's nomination as a replacement for Sen. Vandenberg) indicates that Roth may be swinging at the wrong man. But this much is certain: Among "ap- pointees" to whom letters of solicitation were mailed were Republican Secretary of State Fred M. Alger and Republican State Treasurer D. Hale Brake. This in itself is 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 ridiculous, both men being obtrusively Re- publicans and neither being appointed by Williams but elected by the Michigan elec- torate. What really topped things off was a similar letter addressed to Roth himself as "attorney general." To be sure, Roth is a Democrat but he wasn't appointed by Wil- liams. Nor was he still attorney general at the time he received the letter. The angry Roth completed his condemna- tion of Staebler with these invectives: "If, as rumors suggest, the same letter was mailed to civil service employees, there must in- evitably arise the question of political mor- als and ethical standards-if not, indeed, of criminal violations." His argument is bolstered by the discovery that Howard Hunt, Michigan Democratic Central Committee Finance Director, has dropped off letters to applicants for post- masterships in a quest for political dona- tions. On the other hand, it can hardly be claimed that Michigan's Republican Par- ty has an impeccably clean nose. Charges of graft and influence wielding are all too prevalent in the Republican-controlled State Legislature, but the large number of Republican newspapers in the state are timidly unaware of them. For this reason, any congressional investi- gation of chicanery in Michigan politics should take into consideration the shady practices of both State parties. -Cal Samra 1 { THE MICHIGAN DAILY c ' J si "Always Happy T Cicero' Justice LAST JULY Harvey Clark, a Negro, moved into an apartment in Cicero, an all white suburb of Chicago. He was met by anI angry mob displaying all the ugliness of pre- judice and intolerance. The riot became so out of hand that the state militia had to be called in. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1951 o Take The Word Of A Lady" DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN , ~i I/1,' a II l .i : .t ON THE Washington Merry-Go-Round WITHI DREW PEARSON The righteous citizens of Cook County weren't going to let this grave injustice go unanswered. A grand jury was set up. It used its power by indicting none of the 126 people arrested for rioting. Instead the jury indicted a Negro who is part owner of the building in which Clark leased the apartment, a Negro who was the rental agent that handled the transaction, and a Negro lawyer who acted as the attor- ney for Clark and also for the National Aro- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People. These three men were charged with "conspiring to damage property." Three other people were also found to be connected closely enough with the riot to be indicted: a furrier who had handed out Comunist propaganda during the riot, a wo- man with a record of previous arrests who was a former owner of the building, and the police chief of Cicero. Thus was justice meted out. The grand jury may now smugly consider itself as hav- ing performed its duty as an active part of a democratic system. But in some minds there may still be doubt that somewhere' along the way the basic issues of the Cicero riot have become confused. True, the police chief had been lax in stopping the rioting, but the woman was shown at the hearing to have had nothing to do with the riot directly. And the fur- rier was more likely capitalizing on the situation rather than promoting it. As for the three Negroes who were indicted there may be some people who consider the true crime to be the acts of a prejudiced mob which destroyed the home of an innocent man, not the acts of three men who enabled Harvey Clark to move into his apartment. -Helene Simon INTERPRETING THE NEWS: Afirgentinax Revolt, By PAUL SANDERS Associated Press News Analyst WHATEVER HAPPENS in Argentina as a result of yesterday's revolt against Peron -whether it was real or phoney-one thing seems certain.

James - ' ii --- WASHINGTON-While the Senate criti- cized RFC officials for accepting hams, two senators helped themselves to a hand- ful of free switch-blade knives the other day from the sample case of a manufacturer. The manufacturer was Joseph Schrade, president of the Schrade-Waldon Cutlery Corporation, who begged the senators not to outlaw his switch-blade knife as a dan- gerous weapon. "Have you got one with you?" asked Sen. Olin Johnston, South Carolina Democrat. "Yes sir," replied Schrade, hoisting up a sample case full of knives. "I hope that you have no objection to' passing a few out in the Senate," blurted Sen. Herman Welker, Idaho Republican, eye- ing the knives covetously. "I need a good pocketknife." "We came along with that idea in mind," agreed Schrade, anxious to please. Welker grabbed a box of small switch- blade knives and promptly began dividing them up. Then the Idaho senator spied an expensive leather-handled knife, and reached for it. "Be careful with that." cautioned Schrade as he gloomily watched Welker take it. "Be careful the way it opens. It comes out with a snap." As Welker tested the blade hpprovingly. Schrade pleaded: "You don't know what a disappointment it is to me that after mak- ing a product for 50 years, I find out that they used it for crime." "That's right," agreed the Idaho senator, still fingering the, knife enviously. Then he suggested brightly: "why couldn't the staff protect this gentleman by using language (outlawing) a 'switch-blade with a blade longer than three inches?'" Schrade agreed this would help. But as he shut his sample case, he politely took the expensive knife back from Welker- though leaving the two senators with a fistful of smaller knives. "I am glad you came," smiled Welker, "but I wish you had brought some finer knives." -SMEARING IKE- THE FIRST STEP in a smear campaign to keep General Eisenhower out of the White House is being circulated in Maine. It's an unfair attempt to link Eisenhower with the Communists. The smear was printed by the so-called Partisan Republicans of California (who- ever they are), and was mailed to all members of the Maine Republican Com- mittee by GOP State Chairman Ralph Masterson. But the interesting thing is that the decision to .circulate this below- the-belt propaganda was made at the home of a U.S. senator who happens to be masterminding the Taft-for-president campaign-Sen. Owen Brewster of Maine. The same smear sheet also unfairly at- tacks Gov. Earl Warren of California and ex-Governor Stassen of Minnesota, and names them along with Eisenhower as the "three principal 'prospects' which Commun- ists and New Dealers are expected to try to impose on the Republican ticket." The smear sheet shows a cartoon of a lov- ing Stalin pinning a medal on a chesty Eis- enhower. Underneath is the caption: "when an arch criminal decorates an individual, this individual must have served him well." Actually, Russia handed out medals to several prominent Americans, and the Uni- ted States decorated several prominent Rus- sians during the wartime alliance. In another twisted statement, the smear sheet declares: "the Communist Party did not officially support Eisenhower for the presidency, but gave him a great ovation and boost at their convention in New York on May 20, 1944." The anti-Eisenhower sheet also reports: "Communists unanimously greeted three great men, who were: Joseph Stalin, Mar- shal Tito and Dwight Eisenhower. Since then Tito has fallen into Soviet disfavor; as to Eisenhower-we have no information one way or the other." s , * -KEEPING THE RECORD STRAIGHT- UST TO KEEP the record straight, it should be remembered: 1. Eisenhower is the chief target of Com- munist propaganda in Europe. The Com- munists have plastered Western Europe with anti-Eisenhower posters, and are doing their best to sabotage Eisenhower's efforts to build up a Western European Army. 2. The Communists also gave Senator McCarthy a boost in his primary cam- paign against ex-Senator La Follette of Wisconsin. When newsmen asked Mc- Carthy about his Communist support, he replied: "the Communists have a right to vote." Yet the Partisan Republicans of California don't hold this against Mc- Carthy. 3. Senator Brewster not only gave his per- sonal okay to sending out the anti-Eisen- hower literature at a time when he is try- ing to fight Communism, but Ralph Master- man, who actually mailed the smear sheets, is Brewster's chief political lieutenant. * * * - -GRATEFUL GUESTS- ONE OF THE most sought-after jobs in the Pentagon is held by Navy Comman- der John P. Floyd, conference director for the Secretary of Defense. Floyd's job is to arrange the itinerary and invitations to the Defense Department's Joint Orientation Conferences. To these conferences, held several times a year, are invited industry leaders, professors, key pub- lishers and other VIPs to visit various mili- tary bases to study the defense program. What makes Commander Floyd's job so attractive is the precedent established by some of the Defense Department's guests who are invited to the orientation confer- ences. Afterward he has received some hand- -^ - f 4 CJ!NIEMA The revolt announced by the Peron gov- ernment may have been a genuine attempt of army elements to overthrow the regime, which has run into increasing dissatisfac- tion over an ever rising cost of living. Or it may have been encouraged-or even staged-by the administration to provide a new campaign issue for the Nov. 11 elections, in which Peron is a candidate to succeed himself. Such a maneuver is not new in South American politics. A revolution at a convenient time-if put down-gives a South American gov- ernment an excuse for crushing the op- position. Behind the current developments, one of Argentina's basic troubles is that it has had little experience with constitutional govern- ment as we understand it in this country. In many ways more progressive than most of the other Latin American republics, Ar- gentina has followed the pattern of force and violence in politics through many of its 141 years of independence. It wasn't until 1851 that Argentina be-, came stable enough to enact a federal constitution. The secret ballot was intro- duced only in 1910. In the 20 years after the adoption of the secret ballot, Argentina for a time seemed on the road to effective democracy. But graft became widespread and the army leaders decided they again should become the arbi- ters of the country's politics. A successful military revolt in 1930 reim- posed the old pattern: a military govern- ment announced it would clean house, then reestablish constitutional government. An army general was reelected constitutional president in 1931-with military support. A civilian, Roberto M. Ortiz, followed in 1937. Ortiz had popular support and he tried hard to establish honesty in government and de- mocratic practices in elections. But a fatal illness forced Ortiz out of office in 1940 and his successor, Ramon S. Castillo, was swept from power by another army revolt in 1943. Again army leaders said graft and corruption forced them to act. The 1943 revolution brought Peron to the center of the stage-and apparently he in- tends to stay there s long as he can man- age. T HE BELIEF that fashion alone should dominate opinion has great advantages. It makes thought unnecessary and puts the highest intelligence within the reach of ev- eryone. It is not difficult to learn the cor- rect use of such words as "complex."

S A car-owning Grad. studentt it is my opinion that thei Board of Regents' ban on student driving is unreasonable and un-i tenable.- This antiquated law passed in1 1927 violates personal property1 rights. By what authority can a Board of Regents restrict an adult's use of an automobile in his1 private life in areas completelyt distinct f r o m the University! areas?t To illustrate the utter lack of logic in this rule I want to pointc out that if one were living one and one half miles from the cam- pus he'd be allowed to use his cart because of t h e inconveniencei which would otherwise result. Butt if I wanted to drive a mile and a half, or two or three, for per- sonal reasons I would have toi walk. Do the powers-that-be expect us, if allowed to drive, to go tear- ing around the streets at ninety miles per hour? I believe that I, and other Grad. students like me (plus most un-' der-grads) are sufficiently mature 1 to handle a car safely even though we have not yet reached the ma-! gic age of twenty-six at which time it is arbitrarily decided that 1 we will have suddenly becomeI capable of handling a car in an adult manner. The time has come for the Uni-1 versity Officials and the Board ofi Regents to re-examine the rules governing motor-vehicle 'opera-1 tion by students. -Marvin Glasser Jackson's Football .,. .

To the Editor: THE latest squabble between: Iran and the West now in progressnat 335 Jefferson Street leads one to suspect a test case pertinent to that other interna- tional drama of greater import. Consider the evidence: the Amer- ican bloc sign an agreement with an authorized power who then retires for a vacation (reasons of health?); meanwhile, the Eastern legalists negotiate with another power (a usurper?) and claim the right of possession. Enter the western technicians replete with paint can to convert and operate the holdings to advantage. En- ter, likewise, the Eastern hypno- tist threatening to take over the establishment. Dickering gets out of hand and preliminary skirmishing sees the establish- ment of the "dirty clothes" cur- tain. Law is bandied about with implicit appeals to the Court, but to no avail. Then the ominous silence. Iranian reenforcements are rushed from Detroit, while the West sits tight. A local Harri- man rushes pell mell one cold eve- ning for instructions. Little re- sult. Who will deliver the show- down ouster demand now that the embattled powers have broken off negotiations? Can the Michigan Yacht Club draw its fleet up on the Huron in time to pose as an effective threat? And so we wait. One suspects that Attlee and Mos- sadegh are watching and whiting too. The possible precedent'is too greatly needed to be overlooked. To the belligerents, however, a word or two. For the West: Guard the bathroom day and night else it be seized. For the East: A policy of caution is probably best. For the administration: the world is watching you. -Louis L. Orlin Generation . . To the Editor: SOMEHOW OR OTHER Gener- ation, Inter-Arts Magazine, has survived its second year of publication, amid jeers of "pre- tentiousness," "high brow," and much, very much worse, and is now coming up for its third try. There are a few people who have worked fairly hard on this maga- zine in the belief that a certain amount of first-rate art work is being produced in cellars and garrets here and there around campus, and that is would be worthwhile if the best of this work could be presented to a supposedly interested campus audience. At present there are many per- manent positions, from managing to maintain excellent grades in such courses as pre-law? Mr. Jackson, I suspect you merely saw a good opportunity to earn a fast buck by writing an article you knew would "sell," a good example of putting your athletic activities to commercial use. Mr. Flint, your editorial seemed merely to ape the comments of other sports writers. Before you endorse Jackson's opinions, sup- pose you supply some proof of his charges against football as it is played here. i 1 t s' i editor on down to be secured by petitioning The Board in Control of Student Publications.

No, the object of government is not to change men from rational be- ings into beasts or puppets, but to enable them to develop unshack- led; neither showing hatred, ang er, or deceit, nor watched with the eyes of jealousy and injustice. In fact, the true aim of government is liberty. -Baruch Spinoza T HERE ARE, of course, econo- mic inequalities everywhere, but in a democratic regime they tend to diminish, whereas under an oligarchy they tend to in- crease. And wherever an oligarchy has power, economic inequalities threaten to become permanent owing to the modern impossibility of successful rebellion. -Bertrand Russell MAN IS the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid. I have never thought much of the courage of a lion-tamer. In- side 'the cage he is at least safe from other men. There is not much harm in a lion. He has no ideals, no religion, no chivalry, no genti- lity; in short, no reason for des- troying anything he does not want to eat. -Bernard Shaw ONE CAN give a really unbiased opinion only about things that do not interest one, which is no doubt the reason an unbiased opinion is always valueless. The man who sees both sides of a ques- tion is a man who sees absolutely nothing. -Oscar Wilde T IS NOT so important to be serious as it is to be serious about the important things.

I At The Orpheum . * TH7 WALLS OF MALAPAGA with Jean Gabin, Isa Miranda and Vera Talchi; Directed by Rene Clement. THERE is a quality about the films of post-war Italy that set them apart as cinematic experiences. It does no slander to Hollywood to say that even their best (e.g. ALL ABOUT EVE, CHAMPION) do not touch the moviegoer as do Italian films. It is not because they are poorer pictures; they are just a different kind of drama.. The difference between experiencing drama in a conventional theatre and witnessing a play in a theatre-in-the-round provides a fair analogy. Through a camera technique that they alone seem to have mastered, the Italians have given their movies an intimacy that produces an impact wholly unlike that of pictures made in the rest of the world. This kind of shooting from within re- quires superb acting from the professionals and complete naturalness from the ama- teurs. The French-Italian cast of THE WALLS OF MALAPAGA combine with the Sixty-Second Year Edited and managed by students of the University of Michigan under the authority of the Board of Control of Student Publications.
