SIX DAYS TO GO:
Democratic Common Sense
Or GOP Give-Away
sIX DAYS TO GO until the mid-term elec-
tion. Six days for independent voters to
decide between the GOP give-away program
and Democrat common sense program. Six days
for first voters to make up their minds about
the family tradition of conservatism or liber-
alism or neutralism; six days for them to look
into the issues they only vaguely viewed as
interested spectators before and now can take
a part in.
As examination of the campaign speeches
takes place, a most interesting thing is notice-
able: The Democrats recall the appeal the
President had to voters in 1952 and are relying
on that same appeal in this campaign. Many
of them have used the slogan: "Elect Demo-
crats who will really support Ike's program."
They contend Republicans have notsupport-
ed the President in his attempts to execute
legislation.
This is surely a psychological approach on
the part of Democrats. The Democrats are
trying to appeal to the most people and feel
they cannot criticize the beloved general in
the White House at the expense of votes.
UT WHEN one examines the behavior of
Eisenhower and his Republican legislature,
one wonders why anyone would want to support
the program they have followed. My reason for
,oting Democrat would be to stop the Republi-
cans and Eisenhower from acting like Repub-
licans.
Briefly, this would mean casting a vote foo
the Democrats to show disgust at the Dixon-
Yates give away, at the Tidelands oil give away,
at the $700,000,000 drop in the farmers' net
income, and a sliding scale price support pro-
gram instigated by the GOP.
Furthermore, a vote for the Democrats will
be an attempt by the people of Michigan to
remedy the mass unemployment which the
Republicans thus far have only laughed off
and referred to some future date. (In the mean-
time, more than 250,000 workers in the state
are living on less than $30 a week, the average
unemployment compensation wage.)
A Democratic vote will be a protest against,
the big business favoritism shown by the GOP.
It will be a vote for small business, little-peas
ple oriented statesmen, who lost elections two
years ago to the glamour of millionaires and
industry.
Six days isn't a very long time to think over
issues. But two more years of large-scale give-
away programs that benefit a few and harm
the country are worth the effort and time need-
ed to read and think about the issues at stake.
And five ortenminutes at the polls next Tues-
day might result in a healthy turn to govern-
ment of and for the people.

SL Districts, Strong Parties Needed:
SGC Not Worth the Trouble:
ESPITE OUR previous excitement over the
increased benefits offered, the proposed
Student Government Council should be drop-
ped from our list of good ideas.
Students howled in protest when the Re-
gents neglected to consider the proposed SGC
plan in September. Since then they have been
picking up the remnants of shattered dreams
and have returned to the barren task of revis-
ing SOC to meet power standards acceptable
to the University administration.
By the time such a level is reached, an SGC
would have little more power than the present
Student Legislature, especially since it had
little more than SL when first presented by
the Laing committee.
But we have proceeded to revise SGC, hap-
pily unaware that it is becoming a panacea
for the woes of student government, despite
our warning ourselves against such an atti-
tude. SGC is not enough improvement to be.
worth all this trouble.
WHAT WE need is a fresh approach to stu-
dent government. An approach that would
seek to improve student government within the
existing framework afforded by the essentially
sound system embodied in the Student Legis-
lature.
One step in this direction has already been
taken by the formation of "The Common Sense
Party" by a group of students actively con-
cerned with the future and effectiveness of SL,
and of student government in general.
However, this new party, attempting to im-
prove SL by stimulating student interest and
crystallizing issues, will necessarily fall far
short of its goal, unless it improves its plat-
form.
It's platform Is too safe, too insignificant.
It does not ask enough in order to gather en-
thusiasm behind it; yet, no student would be
willing to oppose it. Thus,rthe increased student
interest to be derived from the existence of
this political party will never materialize.
For the same reason, the one thing needed to
preserve this party, an opposition party, will
not be formed. The historic and exciting in-
novation of a party system in student govern-
ment at Michigan will fail miserably.
YET, THERE IS still hope that a more
meaningful platform will be formed, a platform
of stronger, more definite, and perhaps more
radical objectives. A platform that would take
up the issues and problems of student govern-
ment with more gusto and enthusiasm and
leadership.
A platform that would, for instance, work for
a Regential policy of considering student pro-
posals within a certain specified time (perhaps
three months) from the date they are present-
ed to the president of the University.
A platform that would insist upon abolish-
ment of the Lecture Committee and recogni-
tion of the right of any speaker to address a
campus group. In contrast here, the Common
Sensers so far intend to work for "permission"
for any speaker to address a campus group.
They have already conceded the University au-
thority to grant "permission," implying ignor-
ance of the freedom of speech guaranteed by
the United States Constitution.
Formation of such a platform would save the
party system in the Student Legislature, thus
insuring completion of the first step toward an
improved student government.
A SECOND STEP toward better and more
effective student government would be a
change in the method of electing SL members
so that they would be chosen on a district ba-
sis. Althjugh, as this writer realizes, the prob-
lems and difficulties involved are tremendous,
a determination to work out such a system-
determination based on a realization of the
advantages to be had-would bring success.
The advantages are these. An SL member
dividual apathy would be impossible. One could
not stay in SL if he did nothing, and, present-
ly, one would not bother to run for SL unless
he intended to be active. SL elections would
cease to be popularity contests, and the dead-
wood would drift out.
That, in itself, would be a great impetus to
SL effectiveness. Furthermore, it would pro-
vide for the satisfaction of another SL need,
that for effective, dynamic leadership. For only
enthusiastic, dynamic people could come to be
leaders of a restless SL eager to prove itself
a worthwhile campus entity, ambitious enough
to brush aside obstacles that now derail SL
projects and plans.
These two things, an opposition party to pre-
serve a party system and a district basis of
representation, would bring us a far much bet-
ter student government than SGC could ever
promise.

DREW PEARSON:
Washington
Merry-Go-
Round
WASHINGTON-The nation will
soon get the answer to a highly
interesting question of psychology.
The question is: Will the old po-
litical trick of bringing the Com-
munist skeleton out of the Demo-
cratic closet work once again?
Ever since Vice President Nixon
went out to Denver and warned
the President and his party that
they were way behind in the polls,
the skeleton has been rattled until
some of the bones are in danger of
dropping off.
So it will be highly interesting
to students of psychology, as well
as historians, to say nothing of
the American people, to see wheth-
er the strategy works once again.
As of today, here is a play-by-
play account of how the strategy
is progressing:
STRATEGY No. 1-In Montana,
Sen. Jim .Murray, Democrat, a
stanch Irish Catholic who is no
more pro-Russian or pro-Commu-
nist than the church at which he
worships, has suddenly found 160,-
000 pieces of literature in the post-
office boxes of every Montana vo-
ter depicting him as a rabid rust-
ler for the Soviet Union. The al-
legation is based upon the fact
that during the war, when we were
allies of Russia, Jim's name ap-
peared on a committee for Soviet-
American friendship, of which a
good many other distinguished
Americans at that time were also
members.
GOP Asked Commie Aid
On top of this, young Mr. Nixon
appeared in Butte last week to
tell Montanans that the Democrat-
ic party was in danger of being
infiltrated with Communists. Wax-
ing eloquent, he continued with
this statement:
"As far as the Republican party
is concerned, it never has had the
support of the Communist party.
We welcome the opposition of the
Communist party in this cam-
paign."
Mr. Nixon went on at some
length, pounding this point home
to the people of Montana.
Unfortunately, he did not know
that just three days before, Earl
Browder, onetime head of the
Communist party now banished
from its ranks, had made a state-
ment directly to the contrary.
Writing in I. F. Stone's weekly
on October 18. he told how such
GOP stalwarts as Gov. Tom Dew-
ey and Sen. Bob Taft had sought
out Communist party support.
"In 1937 an ambitious and able
young Republican named Thomas
E. Dewey," wrote Mr. Browder,
"made his first election campaign
for the position of district attor-
ney. His organization felt the need
to gather votes wherever they
were to be found and solicited
Communist support.
"The issue came to me and I
said, of course, support Dewey.
This was done through a trade
union committee headed by a well
known Communist named Louis
Weinstock. When Dewey won the
election, that committee gave him
a victory banquet at which he was
photographed arm-in-arm with
the toastmaster, Weinstock.
"Of course," continued Brow-
der, "Dewey was as innocent in
this association as Oppenheimer
was in his. It was a political mar-
riage without love on either side.
Browder, it should be noted,
wrote the above, plus considerably
more, not with the idea of em-
barrassing Nixon. Obviously he did
not know Nixon was going to sound
off at Butte, Mont., against Sen-
ator Murray. He wrote it to illus-
trate the unfairness of accusing
Dr. Robert Oppenheimer and other
scientists because of friendships
and associations formed 15 years
ago.
Costello's Friend
STRATEGY No. 2-In Wyoming,
Joseph O'Mahoney, another good
Irish Catholic and a Democrat, is
also being smeared as soft toward
Communists because he had the
courage to defend Owen Lattimore,
now the object of, prosecution, if
not persecution, by the Justice De-
partment.
Ignoring the fact that in a free
America every defendant has the
right of a lawyer, a wealthy New
Yorker recently moved to Wyo-
ming, Martin Littleton, took sev-
eral thousand dollars worth of
radio time to blast Joe O'Mahoney.
Since some people who throw
stones made the mistake of living
in glass houses, it might be in-
teresting to see who's throwing
the stones at O'Mahoney. Stone-
throwing Littleton spent most of
his life in New York, happens to
have had an interesting law client
of his own -- kingpin gambler
.Frankie Costello.
And since Littleton doesn't seem
to think Joe O'Mahoney has a
right to defend Owen Lattimore,
it is only fair to examine the Lit-
tleton law firm clients and associ-
ates. His operations were probed
by the Kefauver crime committee
and therefore are a matter of of-
ficial record. The record shows that

Common Sense .. .
To the Editor:
COMMON SENSE may be a small
attribute to expect Student Leg-
islature to possess. But it is a
quality which seems to be lacking
in SL "activities" today.
Therefore, an attempt is being
made to begin a campus political
party devoted not only to certain
policies, but also to the achieve-
ment of these policies.
If you are interested in Student
Legislature's members becoming
more directly responsible to you
personally, attend the organiza-
tional meeting of the Common
Sense Party being held at 7:30
p.m., Thursday in Auditorium B of
Angell Hall.
Because few dare to claim that
SL is a living, active organization
at the moment, and because the
achievement of any change in this
university always entails an enor-
mous amount of activity; there
must be direct, forceful, organized
pressure from the campus now if
student government is ever to ex-
ist.
An organization which lacks
drive is stifled out of existence by
the stagnation resulting when the
same policies are on the books for
years and none have the courage
to pressure for these programs.
The Common Sense Party is be-
ing established as a means through
which the student body can choose
from better candidates promised
to particular programs who will be
forced to work for the promised
programs. A successfully organ-
ized political party can produce
competent SL members who know
that a student group must push
hard for whatever it desires.
The Common Sense Party wants
a steady, serious, undeviating, de-
termined Student Legislature. A
strong student party organization
with a practical platform is neces-
sary to control the erosion now
clearly seen in SL.
Student Legislature must be com-
posed of members who work for a
result with vigor in direct relation
to the strength with which a cer-
tain result is desired.
It is only common sense to real-
ize that an effective party must be
composed of a large group of stu-
dents .who are willing to work for
an intelligent, enthusiastic, compe-
tent, aggressive student govern-
ment.
If you agree that it is time for
a change in SL, come to Auditor-
ium B of Angell hall at 7:30 p.m.
on Thursday.

Soap Censure .. *
To the Editor:
ON NOVEMBER 8, 1954, the Uni-
ted States Senate convenes in
special session to consider the spe-
cial Watkins committee report
which recommends to the Senate
that a vote of censure be taken
against Senator McCarthy. The
special session to consider a public
rebuke for McCarthy is a clear
victory for the majority of Ameri-
cans who have wished to see an
end to McCarthy's noxious acti-
vities. It is especially significant
for' students who have tried to de-
fend and reinstate the tradition of
academic freedom in their univer-
sities.
However, the Robin Hood As-
sociation at the University of Chi-
cago feels that there is a great
danger that McCarthy may be
whitewashed. McCarthy does not
intend to allow the censure mo-
tion to pass without a fight. His
supporters, as you may have read
in The Michigan Daily of October
5, 1954, are calling for a "Nation-
al March" on Washington on No-
vember 11 in order to intimidate
the Senate and the censure move-
ment. They plan to hold a "Na-

SOVET RUSSIAN propagandists
are quite accustomed to play-
ing the same tune in several dif-
ferent keys, but for the moment
they seem to be having trouble
even in deciding what tune they
want in connection with Western
European Union.
At first, apparently assuming
that France was still the big ques-
tion mark when it comes to rati-
fying the treaties agreed upon at
London and Paris, Moscow sought
to play on two French fears-
that a rearmed Germany might
once again run amuck in Europe,
or that she might drag the rest
of Europe into a war for recovery
of her eastern territories.
Then it became apparent there
was a question about ratification
in Germany, too. Many Germans
worried about a formal even
though temporary recognition of'
partition. Others were upset over
concessions to France regarding
the Saar.
Vishinsky tied the French fears
into atwo-and-a-half hour speech
at the U.N. about disarmament,
thus attempting to divert French
minds with pursuit of that will-o-
the-wisp as against rearming Ger-
many. Vishinsky spoke about "re-
storation of the Wehrmacht," a
name the Germans escheW, under
"Hitlerite generals." The reason
for his latest disarmament talk be-
came all too clear.
BUT THAT didn't sit well with
the Germans, many of whom
shrink from the idea of having an
army after what they learned
about the fruits of militarism a
few years back.
Really, the Russians propagan-
dists then began to say, the West-
ern Allies are just hiring cannon
fodder, and the contracts for-West
German sovereignty are bogus,. If
it is not, the Reds inquire, why
do the Big Three retain the right
to handle negotiations over Ger-
many's principal problem, reuni-
fication?
