4.,: PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, MAY 46, 1953-. ._I I SATURDAY, MAY 16. 1953 AAUP Resolution (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the text of a resolution on Congressional investigations passed by the American Association of University Professors in a meeting March 27-28 in Chicago. The resolution was indorsed Monday by the Uni- versity Senate.) THE THIRTY-NINTH Annual Meeting of the American Association of University Professors reaffirms the protest of the Thir- ty-eighth Annual meeting of the Association against the tendency, in legislative investi- gations relating to loyalty, toward using the professional writings and utterances, and the lawful personal associations of indivi- duals, to impugn their loyalty without re- gard to context of time or circumstances. This meeting does not question the pow- er of Congress to conduct investigations for the purpose of securing factual in- formation .as a basis for legislation, but reaffirms and reasserts the basic principle of American constitutional law that the function of the legislative branch of the Government is the enactment of legisla- tion and not the prosecution of indivi- duals. The prosecution of individuals is the function of the law enforcing agencies of the Government. The proper efforts of the Government to protect itself against subversion, as against any other harmful acts, are limited to the enactment of leg- islation defining and proscribing specific acts as subversive and to the prosecution of individuals who commit legally defined subversive acts, including conspiracy to commit such acts. These efforts should not include the penalizing of thought, expressions of opinion, or personal rela- tionship. Legislative investigations which are in fact trials of individuals, based on thoughts and opinions, or on personal relationships, encroach upon and discourage freedom of thought, of inquiry, and of expression. Such investigations are, therefore, contrary to basic principles of our constitutional system and inimical to the welfare of the nation. Today, more than ever before, freedom to inquire, particularly freedom to study na- tional and international relationships and problems upon which national policies must ultimately be based, requires freedom of thought, of inquiry, and of expression. The critical nature of our times, therefore, calls for more, not less, freedom to inquire and to express conclusions reached. Only by encouraging freedom of thought, of inquiry, and of expression can this nation in the long run, if not immediately, achieve wise decisions concerning national and interna- tional policies. German Youth- Its Two Attitudes (EDITOR'S NOTE: Miss Greene bases the fol- lowing inalysis of German youth on time spent in Germany during a 10 months tour of West- ern Europe.) THE STUDENT Legislature's decision to adopt the Free University of Berlin with a comprehensive program of cultural exchange and a proposed "lend-lease of students" is a timely action of a kind absolutely essen- tial to a re-morale-izing of German youth. It is with a feeling of horror I have found the only German youth alive today are under 16 years of age. With some ex- ceptions, our German contemporaries have suffered a death far worse than physical destruction. By Germany's defeat the ideal for which they lived and fought and died has been proved a myth. The effects on spirit and morale of this theft of their strongest beliefs have been emo- tionally and intellectually mutilating. Two reactions to this loss stand out wher- ever German youth is met-whether in Ger- many, on hosteling trips in Southern France and Italy or here in the United States. Karl Heinz is 21 years old. For the better part of his most formative years, he mim- icked the goosestep of his two older broth- ers and was taught to believe in his own Teutonic superiority. One more year of war would have meant death for Karl Heinz. He was a 14-year-old candidate for Hitler's most glorious honor-death in a suicide rocket. Today, seven years since defeat, Karl Heinz proudly announces, "And I would have been glad to died. It was right. It was my duty to Deutchland." Karl Heinz Is terrifyingly typical of one type of German reaction to the loss of that belief In superiority-he expresses a sub-conscious bewilderment and confu- sion by a boasting, dogmatic exterior air of superiority. "Germans are better educated, stronger, better soldiers-still a master race" if one would believe his exposition. Across the table from Karl Heinz, sits Richard, an eighteen-year-old student in a small town high school. He looks at Karl admiringly, and (nervously, knowing it will shock his American dinner partners but proud that it will) boasts of how the Nazis ground the bones of prisoners to make glue. He smiles and one wonders how much teas- ing humor is involved in the remark. A few moments later the conversation switches to "G.I. parties" and someone explains "that's army talk for barracks clean-up." "A Ger- man soldier had to scrub the barracks with a toothbrush! says Richard. Outside the restaurant, standing in a darkened doorway, a blond Fraulein with American make-up on--(this is unusual because it is a small town and "nice" wom- en don't wear even lipstick) waits for some lonely American G.I. She is the extreme illustration of the sec- ond reaction. The loss of belief has left be- lief in nothing in its place-nothing but a passive wish to survive. She and those who react similarly cannot retain even the false air of superiority. They are the juvenile de- linquents, the petty criminals and the bums who walk the streets. Those Germans who have made a com- paratively successful adjustment to defeat are many. They are, however less obvious. Less apparent too, is the certainty their ad- justment is more than just a surface one. The mind that has been robbed of rai- son d'etre must be given in exchange, a legitimate belief-for what is legitimate can never be proven a myth. An attempt to accomplish just this ob- jective-a new purpose and belief for Ger- man youth--has been made by an Ameri- can organized German youth group. The U.S. Army has sent women in their em- ploy on recreational work and soldiers picked for their ability to work with youth to special training classes. In many towns, club houses -and full programs have been organized with this basic precept drummed into the mind of every U.S. worker: "These kids have to be given something to believe in that can't be proven a myth." Unfortunately, occasional setbacks have been discouraging. There is a suspicion of the Army's motives on the part of many German families. Some mothers feel this is an Americanization process designed for their children. When a German student is sent on an educational or work exchange program there is always the fear that when the year is up he will be completely Americanized and not want to come home. In some small towns, a mother may al- low her daughter to attend organized youth group meetings and parties, but the girl, if seen on the street talking to the soldier who led the meeting last week, is likely to be ostacized from town activities or la- belled a "bad girl." 0 It is only by sincerity and patience that such misunderstandings can be eliminated and this invaluable "'re-morale-izing" pro- duce a healthy emotion and intellect to com- plement the revitalized physique of Ger- many. For this reason SL's decision is par- ticularly commendable and is worthy of ex- pansion to make it even more effective. -Gayle Greene MATTER OF FACT By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP WASHINGTON-The test of the serious- ness, and indeed of the common hon- esty, of, the new Administration's defense planning is coming very soon. It will take the form of a, report on the American air defense problem by a special committee headed by this country's leading indus- trialist-scientist, Mervin Kelly of the Bell Laboratories. Only a few Pentagon planners, scientists and other specialists know about this Kelly report, which may even have been rendered already. Yet the nation really ought to be waiting for the Kelly report with the anx- ious interest, and the intense concern, of .a patient waiting to hear his doctor's ver- dict in a life and death case. The circum- stances are enough to explain why. As previously revealed in this space, the American government was shaken, last autumn, by drastic findings about our air defense situation. These findings were made by Project Lincoln, a research group directed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Air Force contract, which comprised the most authoritative scientific team ever assembled in this country in peace time. The Lincoln find- ings may be briefly summarized as fol- lows: First, the existing and presently planned American Air Defense System is virtually worthless. Second, the parallel growth of the Soviet atomic stockpile and the Soviet strategic air arm will enable the Kremlin to launch a "devastating" air-atomic attack on this country within two to three years. Third, therefore, if we do not wish to be nakedly exposed to air-atomic destruction at the will of the Kremlin, a costly and urgent effort must be made to build a truly effective American air defense system, ex- ploiting c e r t a i n "technological break- throughs" pointed out by the Lincoln sci- entists. Despite the immense weight of scien- tific authority behind them, such findings as these could hardly be accepted without careful review. Hence former Secretary of Defense Lovett named the Kelly Commit- tee, including the eminent physicist, Prof. Charles Lauritsen, Pres. Hovde of Purdue, representing education, and several top flight business men. President Eisenhower asked the committee to finish its task. Whether or no the committee has now re- ported, a good deal is known about its tendency. Most important of all, it is known that the Lincoln scientists' dark estimate of the danger ahead has been broadly sustained. There may be, and there are, arguments about whether the time of utmost danger will begin in 1954-'55, or in 1955-'56, or in 1956-'57. But the Kelly committee has agreed with the Lincoln findings that the Kremlin is now gaining the capability of destroying the country by air-atomic attack. The question remains, what must now be done in order to ward off this future dan- ger? The Lincoln program, which was ad- mittedly highly experimental, had three main features-first, a novel air warning net extended outward to the most distant continental approaches, providing six or seven hours warning; second, a fully auto- matic or "cybernetic" air defense communi- cations system; and third, an ambitious effort to beef up our interceptor force and to extend its bases, so that any attacker would be exposed to wave after wave of interception: Unless the best authorities are mislead- ing, the Kelly committee has recommend- ed or will shortly recommend a compro- mise program. This program is under- stood to have only two main features- first, a fully automatic air defense com- municatiens system; and second, ex- perimental extension of the air warning net to provide three hours warning, in- cluding extension of the net along the now neglected sea flanks. In short, the most modest measures to safeguard this country from air-atomic at- tack will require a rather complete reversal of the present defense policy of cut-back and slow-down.

It is. indeed deplorable, that every single night one must be disturbed by the echoing scrape of laughter and voices, and jolted by the explosion of fire crackers. These are not the type of condi- tions to be expected at an institu- tion of higher learning, but if there is a group of nincompoops who must have their play at the expense of others, I think we might at least expect our resident ad- visers and staff assistants to en- courage them to behave themsel- ves. If the staff men cannot safe- guard the proper conditions for study, let's reduce our costs of living by eliminating them as sup- erfluous. I suggest to those stud- ents who intend to study next year, that they live off campus, away from the noise of the rabble, and away from the slop of dormitory meals.' It is a pity that the innocent freshmen have no way of avoid- ing our most excellent high rental dormitory. -Richard Seid S* * * Congratulations ... To the Editor: would like to commend the fair- ness with which your paper has handled the Arab-Israel dispute by publishing the Arab viewpoints as well as the Zionist. This may seem a strange fact to commend but un- fortunately, as many Arabs have pointed out, the press in America has not been democratic in this respect and has printed only those things which their large advertis- ers permit.

I, for one, am convinced that if enough Americans were allowed to know the real facts of the case, there'd be a lot less enthusiasm for what Professor Slosson so emo- tionally called the glorious, demo- cratic state of Israel, and a great deal more sympathy for the in- justice done to the Arabs, largely as a result of American pressure.

FURRHA' letter he la- ments the fate of Arabs left homeless after the conflict in Israel. I should like to point out that those Arabs were offered a home in Israel. To prove this look at the many Arabs living peacefully in Israel at the present time. The Knesset, Israel's par- liament, has Arab representatives. This looks like real persecution, doesn't it? Of course the Arab countries have been very generous to the Jews living within their borders. They forced them to live in ghet- toes. Forbade them to own pro- perty. Denied them an education. This is ,true freedom. Take for example Yemen. Yemen should be very proud of the way she handled her Jewish population. Prior to any violence in Palestine the Jews of Yemen were forced to live in squalor. Then with the out break of trouble in Palestine they were treated worse and tried to flee. Even this was denied them. What about the many massacres that took place in Yemen and other Arab countries? I have yet to hear of any such situation in reverse. The Jews who were able to flee had to do so on foot across the desert. They were'not allowed to take any possessions. When these immigrants arrived in Israel they were in worse condition than many who had come out of Hitler's con- centration camps. You and your friends keep harp- ing on the freedom-loving Arabs. Well, I ask you then, what was the Grand Mufti doing in Berlin during the war, consulting with Hitler? How do you explain the plight of Jews in Arab countries? And how do you explain the plight of Jews in Arab countries? And how do you explain the fact that Seven "freedom loving" nations could not muster enough freedom loving Arabs to fight one small un- organized piece of land. Israel will live Mr. Furrha and since sev- en nations couldn't stop it, I doubt if you can. -Shulamith Laikin Jorpel Pen . .

It was a review, conceived in ignorance of track, and dedi- cated to the proposition that ath- letic teams must win all cham- pionships or be labeled failures. The author, Dick Lewis, exhausts some fifteen paragraphs attacking the track team and its coach, Don Canham, on the following bases: 1. He says that Leo Johnson (Il- linois track coach) is always one better than Don Canham. 2. He asserts that the track team has many excuses but few cham- pionships. Let us bail brother Lewis out of his dilemma: 1) It is true that Leo Johnson has coached the winning track' team for several years. The rea- sons: a. The state of Illinois grows more track talent than any other, save California. b. Don Canham can only offer intellectual nourishment and char- acter building, whereas the fight- ing Illini talk in terms of pesos and dollars. 2) Yes, we have been runners-up quite often, but no one, except you, is ashamed of it. It may startle you to find that on occasions eight other teams have been known to enter the Big-Ten race. Further- more, the University of Michigan track team is one of the top three aggregations in all the world, ex- ceeded only by Southern Califor- nia and possibly Illinois. In conclusion, let me take this opportunity to extend to you an invitation to drop around today to see your first track meet. The spectacle is with Illinois at 2 p.m. Incidentally, most of the events are run counter-clockwise around a 440-yard cinder track. We await your arrival with open arms at Ferry Field - that's on S.

THE MAGIC BOX, with Robert Donat & The British Film Industry. TVHE ORPHEUM this week-end is showing a movie which has infinite possibilities on its advance notices, but which falls as far short as can be imagined. The placards announced an almost endless list of the greatest actors in the British cinema, from Sir Laurence Olivier to Margaret Ruther- ford; the film itself presents every soul on the list, but none with the exception of Rob- ert Donat appears for more than a minute. Sir Laurence is an insignificant constable, Miss Rutherford flashes through as a weal- thy dowager, and Peter Ustinov breaks all records by being shown in a still shot for a brief instant. The picture threatens at sev- eral points to become little more than an by his devotion to science. Although his early troubles arise from the inability of the public to grasp the importance of his discovery, he dies trying to fight the cor- ruption and commercialism of the film in- dustry, a theme which seems artificially- conceived to retain the flagging interest of an audience already satiated with the original difficulties drawn too thin. Robert Donat portrays the unsung-but hardly unswept-hero. He does as much as possible with the role, but he has met an in- vincible opponent in the story. His two wives, legal and successive, are cast from one mold: they are moist-eyed or encourag- ing on cue, and this seems all that is re- quired. No doubt both the young ladies are adept actresses, for they showed moments of great promise, but there is something more required. 'T'he nhnteoranhv is ouite Lrr a ,nd the A t the Michigan.
