LXI, No. 28 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1952 EIGHT PAGES I I 'THIS I BELIEVE': Pride Cited As Great Sin EDITOR'S NOTE: In conjunction with the University's lecture series, "This I Believe," The Daily will present statements of belief by well-known campus personalities. The series is designed to view today's crucial issues with men and wom- en whose activity in facing them is a challenge to thought and action.) By DEBORAH BACON Dean of Women I believe the Greeks were right in saying the unpardonable sin is "hybris"-man's excessive pride in his abilities and strength. I believe this century is prone to that sin. The expansion of scientific knowledge and the enormous power resulting from its appli- cation make us drunk with imminent self-deification. I believe college students are particularly vulnerable to the half-truth-"knowledge is power." Many are so consumed by the urge to acquire power through knowledge that they omit the corollary questions, "Knowledge of what?," "Power to do what for what goals?" I believe the axioms "God is love" and "the soul of man is im- mortal" are of crucial importance to everyone. The first affirms that there is an ultimate whence and whither and that this source and goal is not only spiritual, but benevolent. The second includes each individual actively within that spiritual totality. It affirms there are things other and greater than being alive. "What would I give my life for?" Is there any thing or concept more valuable for oneself or for others than living and keeping busy? If not, the process of being alive has become the greatest value. Belief in the immortality of the soul completely changes one's "frame of reference" for values. I believe that western democracy is the still clumsily evolving attempt to translate these axioms (and the Christian religion built upon them) into political and, today, into economic terms. I believe that scientific methodology is invalid as basic proof of the existence or values of art, human emotions, or religion. The human systems of numerical measurement and of logic can- not assume final authority in such areas. If totality is love, it includes the human power of reason; there is no basis for -think- ing that such a totality should be bounded by human reason. I believe in the inescapable responsibility of the individual con- tinually to exercise free moral choice. I have little sympathy for those who complain they lack 100% freedom of will or choice. I know I am often afraid, or unwilling, or too lazy to exercise that percentage of moral choice I do control. I believe that sin is the choice, by any person, of what he knows to be the lesser good. I have worked for twenty-five years in hospitals, ghettoes, prisons, insane asylums, tent-hospitals during World War II across France and Germany; among Alaskan Indians, Kentucky mountaineers, the Bowery, and the wreckage in Germ-= prison-camps; I have studied in several universities both here and abroad. Mostly alone but at one time with guidance, I have travelled rather widely within myself. I am familiar with death, with the medical application of science, with many forms of social welfare. And I have seen and done and read nothing in science or the humanities leading me to expect that man can lift himself up by the bootstraps of his intellect and of his will-power, alone. Everything that I have done, seen and learned strengthens my now earnest belief that God is love and that the soul is immortal. Homecoming Displays Three more houses were add- ed to the list of groups which will have displays entered in the Homecoming contest to- morrow. Delta Delta Delta and Mar- tha Cook will be the last two houses judged in the woman's division and Phi Sigma Kappa will be reviewed by the judges after Delta Sigma Phi in the men's division. The entries raise the number of woman groups vying for the trophy to 30 and the men's list to 60. Coal Owners Deny Lewis Wrage Boost WASHINGTON-()-Hard coal mine owners balked yesterday at giving John L. Lewis the same $1.90 daily wage boost which the gov- ernment already has partly shaved down in the soft coal industry. Lewis was reportedly trying to get the anthracite or hard coal in- dustry to grant the same wage raise in order to test the govern- ment's Wage Stabilization Board again. * * * THE WSB has ruled that 40 cents of the $1.90 soft coal raise would be inflationary and cannot be paid. This has led to a nation- wide walkout of the 350,000 soft coal miners. Neither Lewis nor the anthra- cite industry negotiators would discuss what happened in their bargaining sessions. However, it was reliably reported the industry men had refused a demand from United Mine Work- ers Union president Lewis to match the $1.90 soft coal raise. Hard coal operators contended to Lewis that they probably would face a strike of the 65,000 Pennsyl- vania anthracite diggers no mat- ter what happened. Refusing Lewis the $1.90 would probably mean a strike. Granting the demand prob- ably would lead to another partial veto from the WSB, and thus a walkout too. The prospect was that the soft coal strike would continue for some time, perhaps until after the Nov. 4 national elections, and per- haps with the hard coal miners joining the walkout before very long. SL Applications Due Tomorrow With the deadline for Student Legislature petitions set at noon tomorrow, 40 people have taken out applications thus far for the 23 posts at stake in the Nov. 18 and 19 all-campus election. Only ten of these petitions have been turned in. Students interested in making the race may still pick up appli- cations from 3 to 6 p.m. today and until deadline time tomorrow at the SL Bldg., 512 S. State. If peti- tions are taken out today, they probably can be filled before dead- line time. Twenty of the seats will be for a full one year term, while the other three positions are for a half-year. Last fall 45 candidates scramb- led for 25 open seats. Adlai,Dwight Vie In Talks On Campaign Ike Will Speak In Detroit Today By The Associated Press Both major party presidential candidates lashed out against the tactics of their opponents in speeches made yesterday. Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson ac- cused Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower of conducting a campaign "which accepts calumny and the big doubt as its instruments." Meanwhile Gen. Eisenhower, who will speak in Detroit today, accused the Truman administra- tion of injecting bigotry and class hatred into the presidential cam- paign, and said his political op- ponents speak with "the power mad voices of the rabble rousers." * *. * STEVENSON, the Democratic presidential nominee, loosed a scathing attack on Eisenhower, his Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson will speak over the Mutual Network and Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem from Cleveland at 9 p.m. to- day. President Truman will be heard at 8:30 p.m. over WWJ. General Dwight D. Eisenhower will give an address over WJR at 9 p.m. from the Masonic Temple in Detroit. State senatorial candidate on the GOP ticket, Rep. Charles E. Potter, will speak over WWJ at 7:15 p.m. and over CKLW at 11:30 p.m. GOP opponent, and the general's vice presidential running-mate, Sen. Richard M. Nixon of Cali- fornia. * * * IN AN ADDRESS prepared for delivery at the Cleveland Arena, the Illinois governor said Eisen- hower must accept full responsi- bility for the kind of campaign being waged in his behalf. "I resent-and I resent bit- terly-the sly insinuations and the inuendoes of the campaign that is being waged in behalf of the general," Stevenson declar- ed, "and I am deeply shocked that the general would lead a so-called 'crusade' which accepts calumny and the big doubt as its instruments." The governor rapped vigorously at Nixon for his attacks on Stev- enson in connection with the case of Alger Hiss, former State De- partment official convicted of hav- ing lied when he denied ever hav- ing passed government documents to a courier for Russia. Nixon and McCarthy have sharply criticized Stevenson for giving a deposi- tion at the first Hiss trial, which said that so far as Stevenson knew, Hiss's reputation was good. MEANWHILE Gen. Eisenhower said that the Democrats will do anything to win the election Nov. 4- "Every boss of the administra- tion party will go all out and down the line to deliver. They will de- liver by fair means and foul," the general told his audience in a speech prepared for delivery at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. In the day's last speech, Eisen- hower used the strongest language he has ever employed to make his charge that the Democrats have deliberately brought about dis- unity in the United States and' sapped the sources of the na- tion's strength. 'This unity is being undermined by our national administration," he said. "It is being weakened by men who are more concerned with getting power than for our na- tion's strength. "Year after year they have sought to make political profit by setting group against group, spe- cial interest against special inter- est, section against section. "We hear shrill voices today creating distrust, disunity, and bigotry by falsely accusing others -including myself-of these evilI things." In this, Eisenhower apparently, was referring to President Tru- man's letter to the Jewish Wel- fare Board last Student Injured In Gun-, Accidenit Varsity Night Star Edison Company Workers Strike Unexpected Walkout Makes 4,000 Idle; Service Still To Be Maintained DETROIT (AP)-Four thousand employes walked out at Detroit Edison Co. installations in southeastern Michigan yesterday in an unexpected strike against the big electric utility. The company said, however, that uninterrupted service can, be maintained to its 3,500,000 customers by using supervisory help. Edison serves a 7,600-square mile territory extending from the tip of Michigan's thumb as far south as Monroe and as far west as Ann Arbor.) About 8,000 non-union employes remained at their posts. THE CIO UTILITY Workers Union accused the company of fail- 'LITTLE JACK LITTLE' * M Varsity Night To Star Students, Professionals Democrats B Landslide Dawson Says Prof. John P. Dawson of the Law School last night told an open meeting of the Young Democrats he believes the Democratic Party "will win the coming presidential election by a margin greater than President Truman's victory in 1948." Speaking informally to a small group of YD's in the League, Prof. Dawson, now running for Congress on the Democratic ticket, antici- pated that the main issues which will count with voters on November 4 will be "tax and price squeezes and Korea." PROF. DAWSON stated the Democratic position is that of a "party of- responsibility. Criticism of it reflects contradictions and ir- responsibility in the Republican Party." He added that the Democrats "have struggled for a pay-as- we-go policy on the national budget and that the Democratic record in spite of some mistakes is on the whole one of which to be.proud." Commenting on Stevenson's present popularity, Dawson said it was very encouraging that our people are becoming increasingly appreciative of the "talk sense" and "intelligent attitude of the 7 Democratic candidate. "The political scene has changed immensely since the nominations of the two candidates," Dawson pointed out, "people formerly set in their own minds are now un- sure and shaken in their con- fidence in Ike." 'U' Seal on Diag To Be Replaced The Senior Board decided unan- imously at their meeting last night World News Roundup By The Associated Press STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Dr.' Selman A. Waksman, a Russian- born American scientist, was awarded the 1952 Nobel Prize in medicine last night for unlocking from earth mold the wonder drug streptomycin, the first effective antibiotic against tuberculosis. * * * CADILLAC-Sen. Homer Fergu- son, (R-Mich.), who collapsed at a Republican meeting Wednesday night, appeared last night "to be getting the flu," his physician re- ported. * * * SEOUL-South Korean troops today heavily assaulted the last Chinese Red hold on Sniper Ridge after Allied planes blasted the Reds' maize of tunnels and bunk- ers with 40 armor-piercing 1,000- pound bombs. Professional and student actors will start the ball rolling in the annual Varsity Night talent show at 8:15 p.m. today in Hill Audi- torium. Under the sponsorship of the three University bands, "Little" Jack Little, popular bandleader of the 30's andabanjo artist Eddie Collins will take over the guest spot on the show. "LITTLE, billed as "radio's cheerful little earful," is well known in American song circles. Hit tunes such as "Jealous," "Shanty in Old Shanty Town" and "Hold Me" written in the early '20's under Little's pen are still popular today. His intimate style of blues crooning made him nationally popular as the "whispering" crooner. From 1934 to 1940 Little and his musicians were headlined in many theatres and hotels from coast to coast. The Senior Ball in -1935 SPA Hears Peace Beliefs R. Frederick Christman, State Chairman of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, outlined the group's beliefs at a meeting of the Society for Peaceful Alternatives last night at the League. Christman stated that the es- sential purpose of the Fellowship is to bring about peace by refusing to participate in war or military preparations, and bringing about a social and economic order with- out exploitation. He said that it was unfortunate the American people were not giv- en a "peace" candidate in the present presidential race by either the Democrats, Republicans or Progressives. The Society for Peaceful Alter- natives elected officers for the se- mester preceding the address. They are: Paul Dormont, '55, Chairman; Sidney Weiner, '54, Treasurer; Art Rose, Secretary; and Shelley Estrin, '55, Member- at-Large. IN THE RED: PROFESSIONAL Eddie Collins and his banjo will be featured as the other half of the act. Collins has become a popular club and ho- tel entertainer, working mostly in the Detroit and Chicago areas. For several seasons he played his banjo with Art Mooney's orchestra. The banjo style of Collins, according to many music crit- ics rivals that of the famous "Banjo King," Eddy Peabody. Eight student acts will take the limelight this year. Starting the student portion of the show will be Dick Mottern's Ann Arbor Alley Cats, playing now at the Union's "Little Club." Jazz versions of current popular fa- vorites will be served up by the Alley Cats while the Jay Mills- Berni Kahn comedy duo will at- tempt to bat a thousand on the laugh meter with their college an- tics. STELLA PERALTA and Nancy McCormick will offer contrasting vocal solos. Stella is to sing such semi-classical selections as "Love Is Where You Find It" and Nan- cy will change the mood with.her novelty version of "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette." The energetic dance group go- ing the Charleston will consist of Joan Hegener, Jan Gast, Jean Parker, Bob Cutting, Art Rooks and Berl Lesperance. Featured in a variety act is a trombone quintet, Golden Bones, which includes Jerry Bilik, Don Browne, Joe Moore, Dave Green and Les Kolbe. They will be ac- companied by Bob Barnett and his bongo drums and Ben Patterson on bass. Bob is also planning to work in a dance routine. Joining voices again, the Nov- elaires, last year's regrouped Gul- antics winners, will sing with the string bass accompaniment of Au- brey Tobin. This group called themselves the Eveningaires at the time of their winning last year. Popular pieces from Janet Dix- ner's accordian will concIude the program. "Malaguena" and "Czar- das" are to be her contributions. brought Little's bana from Palmer House in Chicago. *$ * the ing to meet the wage recommen- dations of a fact-finding panel named Aug. 31 by Gov. G. Mennen Williams under State law govern- ing utility disputes. Edison officials charged that the union was violating state law by refusing to undergo a strike vote provided under the Bonine-Tripp Act. The dispute has been simmering for four months but the sudden- ness with which the strike was carried out caught the company and state and federal mediators by surprise. * * * THE MEDIATORS met with company and union officials sep- arately yesterday morning. The sessions broke up at 12:30 p.m. with both sides agreeing to remain on call at the request of the me- diators. An hour later the walkout hit, principally at power stations at Marysville, Trenton and near- by Conners Creek and Delray. The Governor's panel issued its report exactly 10 days ago. A 10- day period of mediation is pro- vided under the law after such re- ports are issued. A 10-cent boost was recommend- ed by the three-man panel and the union insisted that the company meet this figure. Edison contend- ed that a six-cent boost, which would have been provided by ex- tension of the old contract, along with fringe benefits it offered would constitute a 10-cent "pack- age." The union disagreed with this. When a strike threat loomed over this dispute, the mediators tried to persuade the union to agree to a strike vote. But the union refused, arguing that such a vote requirement had been held unconstitutional after a Chrysler strike several years ago. U.S. Asks UN Truce Stand UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-W)- The U. S. asked the UN Assem- bly yesterday to endorse the prin- ciples for peace in Korea as laid down by the Allied command at Panmunjom. It also urged the Communists to accept an armistice on these terms. The U. S. resolution was circu- lated as the 60-nation Political Committee batted down an angry request by Soviet Foreign Minis- ter Andrei Y. Vishinsky to invite the Red North Koreans here for the Korean debates. The vote was 38 to 11 against the Russian proposal. Those voting to invite the Reds were the Soviet bloc plus Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Burma, Iran and Yemen. Eight countries abstain- ed: Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Sy- ria, Israel, Mexico, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The committee voted 54 to 5 to invite to the table the delegation of the UN-sponsored Republic of Korea. Yugoslavia also abstained on this vote. R Typhoon Hits Phillipines, Killing_443 By the Associated Press The Red Cross reported early to- day from Manila that at least 443 persons were killed in Wednesday's violent typhoon and 209 more were listed as missing. The toll was expected to go high- er when communications are re- stored with the heavily-battered Central Philippines. The great storm-whose winds of unknown velocity whipped tree trunks through the air like matchr- sticks-destroyed at least two cities with a combined population of more than 113,000 onpSoutheast Luzon. * * * THE STORM yesterday was bearing down on the eastern shores of Indochina, which still had not recovered from a typhoon and tidal wave that killed hund-,. reds earlierthis week. Government agencies and the Philippine Red Cross sped re- lief to the stricken area of splin- tered homes and buildings, flat- terned crops and flooded towns and villages. The Red Cross made the prelim- inary tabulation of 370 killed, 2,000 missing, and hundreds in- jured. HARDEST HIT were the once thrivinguport ofLegespi, a city of 86,000 population 210 miles south- east of Manila, and Tabaco, a cen- ter of 33,000 population 20 miles north of Legaspi. AP Correspondent Henry Hart- zenbusch, on the first plane to reach Legaspi, reported he flew over miles of utter devastation. MEANWHILE a hurricane in the Caribbean developed terrific 125 mile per hour winds yesterday as it swirled toward Cuba, the Florida Straits and the Western Bahamas. The Miami Weather Bureau, in its 4 p.m. (CST) advisory, said this sixth tropical storm of the season should reach Cuba south- east of Havana late last night. The advisory warned that winds might become dangerous in the Florida Straits and over the West- ern Bahamas today. Small craft were advised to remain in port from Miami southward. SL Throws 'Successful' Open House Students, faculty members and administration officials all took part in the Student Legislature housewarming yesterday. The Legislature threw wide the portals of its new home on State St. and the response was termed a general success by legislators. President Harlan H. Hatcher headed the list of distinguished guests, taking part in 'the pro- gram. Other officials included University vice-presidents Wilbur K. Pierpont and Marvin L. Nie- huss; Dean of Students Erich A. Walter; Dean of Women Deborah Bacon and Associate Dean of Wo- men, Sarah L. Healy.

Echoing the national Eisenhow- er-Stevenson clash over foreign policy, a Young Republicans and an International Relations Club representative debated the ques- tion "Resolved: that the foreign policy of the Democratic admin- istration has been inadequate." SPEAKING FOR the affirma- tive side, YR president Ned Sim- tion carried out its policy in the best way available. SIMON ACCUSED the Roose- velt-Truman-Acheson foreign pol- icy of naivete in its handling over of Berlin and the East. In a hurried attempt to refute each point made by the affirma- tive speaker, Gladstone said that these territories were not given to the Communists. "Provisions werej made to try to prevent them from taking over the countries com- pletely, such as an attempt to pro-' vide for free elections in Poland," he said. --h--1 0-7f SL Treasurer Reports finance Loss The Student Legislature went into the red by $439.85 during the last 14 months' operations, SL treasurer Bob Neary, '53, reported.
