Discrimination
Charges
CHARGES OF conscious or unconscious
discrimination levelled at the University
housing authorities, the Union and the Ann
Arbor Chamber of Commerce by a Student
Legislature member during Wednesday's SL
meeting may well be uhrepresentative of
the total picture, but the charges are cer-
tainly very worthy of continued study, care-
ful attention, and positive action.
During at least the past decade of local
history it has been an accepted "fact" in
many quarters that the three groups so
accused, as well as many others, do prac-
tice conscious, but often veiled, discrim-
inatory policies. Throughout this time,
however, few purely scientific authorita-
tive studies have been made public and the
average student and townsperson have
either accepted the rumors as absolute fact
or have remained blissfully ignorant of
all such charges.
It is just such ignorance and misinfor-
mation that has most hindered any rational
SL approach to the problem.
But just as obviously a problem does exist.
Clear evidence of blatant discrimination has
often been presented to individuals and
groups who could not, or did not, take ef-
fective public action against the individuals
or groups involved.
Mr. Dormont's case against the Union
is a strong one. If the affidavits signed
by two University coeds who applied for
similar jobs within five minutes of each
other are to be accepted at face value
there is at least one conclusive case. The
Negro coed was told there were "no open-
ings." The white student was told "I'm
busy, come back later" and 40 minutes
later was told she could start work Mon-
day and that there were still several oth-
er openings.
Another instance of apparent discrimina-
tion occurred in March, 1952, when, two Ne-
gro women students, according to the report,
applied for jobs as waitresses and were told
by the person in charge of hiring in the
dining-room "we do not hire Negroes as
waitresses."
An obvious defect is the fact that Mr. Dor-
mont did not include comments from ad-
ministrative officials on hiring policies gen-
erally and the 'test case' in particular in the
comprehensive report he submitted to the
Legislature. Out of fairness to these offi-
cials, their statements should have been in-
cluded. Even if they would have denied the
validity of either instance mentioned by Mr.
Dormont, inclusion of their comments would
have strengthened his report.
On the University housing matter, a sig-
nificant fault in policy has been pointed
out by Mr. Dormont. Requiring all in-
coming freshmen to have pictures on hous-
ing applications serves only one main pur-
pose-to indicate each student's race so
that if he is to share a room he will be
put with a student of the same racial
background. Any attempt' to insure that
no future "mistake" would be made in
placing a Negro freshman with a white
freshman Is a policy completely incom-
patible with the informal side of educa-
tion in a college or university.
What the University seems to forget in
setting up its policy is that, on the average,
a student may have just as much difficulty
getting along with a student from a back-
ground similar to his own as he would if his
rdommate had a background entirely dis-
similar. And those who so constantly claim
that the function of a school is to "broaden"
the individual intellectually could hardly
deny that it is more "broadening" to e'x-
perience new situations rather than situa-
tions one has been accustomed to for eight-
een or more years.
In brief, Mr. Dormont's report, presented
to document his recommendations for a
revised anti-discrimination study board
and for SL establishment of an anti-dis-
crimination sticker campaign similar to
the plan submitted to campus in recent
elections, has already succeeded in
awakening many formerly naive students
to the problem of local racial discrimi-
nation. It is still dubious, however, wheth-
er a sticker campaign could be effective
in view of the many national chain regu-
lations against putting stickers in store
windows. In view of difficulties involved
in such a campaign, it might be wise for
.the anti-discrimination board itself to
determine whether a sticker campaign
could be made workable. And in view of
the present seemingly two-faced policy
of Union and University housing authori-
ties toward the issue, Mr. Dormont's re-
commendation that representatives of the
Ann Arbor Council of Churches and the
Junior Chamber of Commerce be substi-
tuted on the board for representatives of
the University administration and senior
Chamber of Commerce is a valid one. Un-
til the senior Chamber and University
show a more sincere interest in elimina-
tion of any traces of local discrimination,
they should not be members of a board
with that aim in mind.
Although weak suggestions to prejudiced
groups and individuals will not eliminate
discriminatory policies, advocates of an ex-
treme anti-discrimination policy should also
remember that tolerane cnnnnt he forced
ON THE
Washington Merry-Go-Round
with nRew PEARSON_ +'.

WASHINGTON -Secretary John Foster
Dulles' blast at Senator McCarthy was
made only after the most careful consider-
ation and after the State Department had
asked American ambassadors all over the
world to cable reaction to the McCarthy-
Harry Dexter White-Truman controversy.
When a summary of these cables was
placed before the President he was so
shocked that he instructed the National
Security Council to make a study of what
could be done abroad to counteract the
unfavorable publicity.
Without exception, every ambassador cab-
led that American prestige had hit a new
level' by the combined attack on ex-Presi-
dent Truman by the Eisenhower Admin-
istration and the subsequent attack on the
Eisenhower Administration by McCarthy.
Some Presidential advisers such as Gen.
Wilton Persons didn't want the Administra-
tion to tangle with McCarthy, thought he
should be ignored, not answered. Others,
however, sided with Dulles and the State
Department, felt that a blunt statement
must be made showing that American for-
eign policy was being dictated by the Ad-
ministration, not by the Senator from Wis-
consin. Hence the Dulles statement.
NOTE-A last year's Pearson prediction,
Dec. 28, 1952; read as follows: "McCarthy's
appetite for publicity will be stronger than
his loyalty to the Republican party, and his
eventual target will be Secretary of State

IKE ON FARMING
SOME OF THE White House staff have
been trying to figure ways of curbing
the President's pleasant "off-the-cuff" re-
marks. They're particularly unhappy about
his agricultural ad libs.
Earlier this week, for example, Presi-
dent Eisenhower inspected an Agriculture
Department exhibit showing the erosion
to farm land when conservation is not
followed. Ike studied the ruts and gullies
worn by unchecked water; then, turning
to Secretary Benson and newsmen, he
said:
"I'd like to see the whole appropriation
for this (soil conservation) work go up."
He! added that he didn't know just how
much more money should be spent, but he
knew that the funds should be increased.
It was a natural offhand remark, and ob-
viously Ike meant it. But it's going to cause
some political embarrassment for the rea-
son that it doesn't jibe with the Adminis-
tration's program..
Last January, outgoing President Truman
asked Congress to appropriate $15,566,000
for upstream water conservation. President
Eisenhower, however, cut this figure by more
than one-half-to $7,000,000. In addition,
Ike's budget knocked $6,000,000 off the
funds requested for the soil conservation
service and $110,000,000 from the amount
to be spent next year by the agricultural
conservation program.
WORDS VS. DEEDS
PERSONALLY, Ike has always been a
strong champion of soil-conservation
methods. Last year, for example, he -said
that "the only trouble with this kind of
conservation work is that it is moving too
slowly." But his budget spells out a dif-
ferent story, and farmers say the real test
of how the President feels about soil con-
servation is the money he spends on it. ,
Farm leaders remember other occasions
when Ike took a strong stand on the farm
program, only to find his own budget
bureau had pulled the rug from under
him. Last May the President paid a visit
to the government's huge agriculture re-
search center at Beltsville, Md., where
he remarked:
"I read in the papers of making a lot of
promises that I did not make. But I did
make one which shows I'm not as stupid
as I sometimes appear. That was that we
needed more research."
Only a few weeks before this statement,
however, the President's own budget for
the Department of Agriculture had recom-
mended cuts in the very same research work
he was then inspecting.
What really made White House aides
wince was a remark the President made
at a press conference last month that one
reason the federal budget couldn't be bal-
anced next year was the $880,000,000 of
unusual expenditures for the farm pro-
gram
Obviously, he wasn't referring to drought
relief, because earlier in the press confer-
ence he had spoken of that as costing about
$40,000,000. And he couldn't have been
thinking of losses on the price-support pro-
gram because that figure is expected to run
about $148,800,000.
The only figure that looks close to the
President's $880,000,000 in unusual farm
expenses is the $882,000,000 appropriated
by Congress for farm support and related
programs. The bulk of this item, however,
is comprised of routine appropriations
definitely set by Congress. Only a small
portion of it varies with crops and weath-
er, so it can't be classified as an unusual
expense. It was fixed by Congress months
ago, and exactly what the President had,
in mind by the unusual farm expendi-
ture of $880,000,000 still remains a Wash-
ington mystery.
No man, especially one burdened by the
terrible weight of the Presidency, can hope
to keep tabs on the nation's budget with
all its detail. But White House aides re-
cognize that in the rough and tumble of
politics anything a politician says will be
used against him. And whether Ike likes
it or not, his advisers have warned that
every time he fumbles on conservation, ag-
gricultural research or price supports, his
opponents write it down in a little book to
be used in future political battles. That's
why they constantly urge him to "stick to
the script" and keep his off-the-cuff ad
libs to minimum.

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN
To the Editor:
THE Indianapolis Times is cer-
tainly living up to its reputa-
tion for misquoting. The article by
John V. Wilson in the November
12 issue by inference and by mis-
quotes created many Wrong im-
pressions.
I did not state that, "Books
containing Robin Hood stories and
outlining the Quaker teachings
should not be used in the public
schools."
I did not condemn a list of wri-
ters who are in the Democratic
Party. The Times used these Dem-
ocrats to make this problem seem
a political one. We are not dealing
with a political question. We are
fighting treason when we fight
communism, whether it be in text-
books or elsewhere.
The Times seems very bold and
aggressive in attempting to smear)
a person trying to do a patriotic
duty. Now, let's have the truth.
The Communist and Commun-
ist Front writer usually writes on
the subject of race, religion, or
foreign born. So, if there is ob-
jection tp the writer in our text-
books, it can be turned to mean
we are anti-religious, anti-race,
etc. I objected to a story written
by a Communist Party Liner
(Calif. 11th. Report) and the sub-
ject was Robin Hood.
Another story by a man with 15
Communist Front affiliations, was
about Quakers.
The Commie must be feeling the
force of my work to give national
publicity to this. T'hey are forced
to publicize what they can ill af-
ford to publicize-a victory for
our side. It is done by trying to
discredit me.

commission would not allow me to
ban a book or story. I have but
one vote on a commission of 71

ever, a school child must by law

To the Editor:
O PREVENT possible misun-
derstanding in my charge of
Union discrimination ing hiring, I
should like to clarify my position.
The signed, sworn affidavits
which the Negro and white stu-
dents had notarized are only my
"clinchers."
In March of 1952, two Negro
co-eds went to the Union dining-
room for waitresses' jobs. They
were told by the person in charge
of hiring that, we do not hire Ne-
groes as waitresses.
In the past twenty-six years,
there have been only one or two
Negroes as waiters or waitresses
in the Union dining-rooim, accord-
ing to Mr. Paul Cramton, who is
the head waiter in that dining-
room and in charge of 'hiring
there.
Mr. Cramton explained to me
that this was so, because no Ne-
groes ever came around for jobs
when there were openings. From
the affidavits, however, we have
the contradicting evidence that a
Negro did ask for a job as a
waitress when there were open-
ings.
It #loes seem odd that in twenty-
six years, the overwhelming ma-
jority of Negroes applied for jobs
as kitchen and cafeteria help,
rather than as waiters and wait-
resses. The latter type of job is
much more lucrative because
among other things, it offers the
possibility of tips.
Mr. Cramton's assertion could
be true only if it were known be-
forehand by those Negroes seek-
ing employment in the Union that
they would be denied jobs as wait-
ers and waitresses solely because
they are Negro.
It was with this in mind that I
had the Negro and white students
apply for jobs within five minutes
of each other. Their affidavits
merely give a final proof to what
I previously had reason, to believe.

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, with
Viven Leigh and Marlon Brando.
"STREET CAR" is the story of Blanche
Du Bois' life. But in the Greek tradi-
tion it only takes in the upswing, the climax,
and the downfall. It is filled with symbolism
and the intentions are obscure.
The plot actually centers around the
adjustments two people have had to make
to society. Both have succeeded in their
own way. Stella, Blanche's sister, has
bowed to the inevitable. She flows along
in the tide of history, accepting society,
that is Stanley Kowalski, as it is. She
learns to enjoy its animal passions and its
elemental desires.
Blanche DuBois, however, lacking the cap-
abilities of her sister has retreated into a
dream world. Stanley Kowalski in his own
uncomplicated way won't let her escape. He
strips her of her finery, her talk, her dreams.
With brutal disregard for human failings,
but with a keen appreciation of the facts,
Stanley understands Blanche. He uses her,
and when he is finished he discards her.
This picture actually is a ccnmentary
on present-day society. The revolt of the
masses has occurred. As Stanley Kowalski
says the aristocrats have been taken from
their decadent perch. They are reduced to
the mediocre level because this is the way
life is. The tensions of class have proved
.too strained, leading to a break that can
only lead down.
Three characterizations relate the inter-
play of personalities. Viven Leigh as Blanchej
is excellent. She creates the lost air of1
Blanche with reality. Even up to the end
a front must be maintained, but there is1
a sudden break and the animal shows
through, and then order is restored because
decorum demands it. Blanche is a rebel. So-
ciety can not exist with rebels: it either
him to see reality and to be reality. If any
Hollywood actor could be said to be a psy-
chological realist, it is Marlon Brando.
The film is excellent throughout. Despite
its stagey presentation, it is still able to
maintain action and interest.

At the Michigan .,..
I, THE JURY, with Biff Elliot.
MUST ADMIT that my only previous ac-
quaintance with the literature of Mickey
Spillane has been limited to choice excerpts
selected from his works by my more dis-
criminating friends; as a consequense any
expectations I could conjure would have
been quite unfilmable. Censorship and all
that.
Mr. Spillane's story is rather simple: a
guy gets shot and his pal goes after the dirty
rat that done it. The beauty of it all is in
the style:
"So long, baby." (Two shots)
"How could you do it, Mike?"
"It was easy." (Pan to hard-bitten face,
fade-out)
In short, this guy is as funny as Marilyn
Monroe. For roughly forty-five minutes
nobody but the Spillanites can tell whether
he is serious or this will be a clever parody.
But after that time it begins to drag; mur-
der, murder, murder, until this author's lit-
erary satire begins to be a bit confusing, and
then, with a kick in the guts, I get it: he
means it.
Mike Hammer (he of the hard-bitten
face) is played by Biff Elliot, discovered
just for this role. He is perhaps a little too
pretty to be so mean, but before it's over
there is no doubt. Unfortunately Mr. El-
liott is the only actor who plays the movie
for real. His assistants are for the most
part ornamental. Basically the film is im-
moral and obscene, no matter what we

UPON READING Mr. Emory
Light's explosive comments in
Tuesday's Daily, a grave doubt
has reared its ugly head in. our
pristine midst. Was this letter
seriously written on the topic-
abortively misinterpreted-or was
it merely a highly ineffectual sa-
tire? We wonder!
