SINCE 1949 the state of Michigan has suffered unusually insipid leadership. Little rapport has marked relations between a determined Republican legislature and the gubernatorial office. Despite an impressive leg- islative record, many of the state's urgent and definite needs have been neglected. Tuesday's election will bring to the state's voters an opportunity to replace this stale lead- ership with the abilities of a Republican can- didate who offers his constituents a 30-year record of service to Michigan. DONALD S. LEONARD, Republican aspirant to the state's .governorship, is a Michigan na- tive with a background of familiarity with the state's problems. An alumnus of Wayne Uni- versity and of the University Law School, the 51-year-old candidate is known among col- leagues from both institutions as a man of un- usual personal leadership. President of all his classes at Wayne, he re- ceived an honorary Doctor of Law Degree from that University in 1949. He was first president of the Wayne Alumni Association, and now heads its Law School Alumni. A wealth of experience, virtually covering ev- ery aspect of state affairs, has prepared Leon- ard for the gubernatorial seat. A former trooper with the Michigan State Police, Leonard served as Commissioner from 1947-52, and was Detroit Police Commissioner from 1952-54. His Civil Defense activities have given Leon- ard an acute perception of needs in that area. In 1941 he went to England with the American Civil Defense Mission to study the effects of Nazi bombing prior to the organization of Uni- ted States civil defense affairs-in which he has since played an active role. From 1942-51 he was State Civil Defense Director. Leonard chaired the Permanent Legislative Committee for many years, representing Mi- chigan's circuit judges, police chiefs, sheriffs and prosecuting attorneys. The list of his state services continues with a record of his membership on the Wayne County Board of Supervisors, from 1952-54, and with active participation in the Detroit Area Council's Executive Committee of the Boy Scouts of America. MICHIGAN'S CITIZENS, as evidenced by the primary election, are behind Leonard, and have given their full support to his contention that "nothing morally wrong can be politically right." 'Perhaps the outstanding qualification Leon- ard offers Michigan voters is his complete free- don from obligation to any interest group. No section of the state can claim any commit- ments of the Republican candidate. Rather than "glamor," he offers his constituents the more durable qualifications of integrity and honesty--qualities which have withstood the normal temptationto Df civic offices. SPECIFICALLY, Leonard's campaign plat- form is one based on fulfillment of the state's long-neglected needs. He stands for immediate action on a road-building program which will provide Michigan with state and county trunk- lines, farm-to-market roads and city thorough- fares, and an improved tourist trade. But Leonard insists that highway improve- ments first be surveyed, with costs determined, road locations established and financing ac- complished, so that the taxpayers may be in- formed'exactly why and where their money is to be used. Leonard's election would insure voters that a long-needed inspection of state and local tax structures would be made-an inspection which has been neglected by the present Gov- ernor. "The state budget," Leonard has prom- ised, "can be kept in balance if tax dollars are spent wisely and thriftily. We must maintain the lowest possible taxes consistent with sound and efficient government." Labor, too, can expect Leonard's relentless efforts to improve present conditions. In par- ticular he anticipates a program which will expedite the handling of workmen's compen- sation cases. FULLY AWARE of deep-rooted difficulties in Michigan's prison system, Leonard plans to institute a firm policy which will emphasize the rehabilitation of inmates. He will try to eliminate politics from prison administration, and to work for the segregation of young of- fenders from older criminals. He has shown particular interest in division of overcrowded prison structures into units which would handle no more than 600 men each. Leonard's policies on education indicate that his election would bring equalization of school opportunities for all school children, without discrimination. He asks improvement and ex. pansion of school facilities, and will work to provide greater incentive for teachers to enter and stay in the educational profession. "Korean War veterans," Leonard has stress- ed "should have the same bonus benefits given World War II veterans." He will work for pro- tection of programs for veteran aid. Leonard's long residence in Detroit has given him a grasp of its municipal problems and Democratic View ... GOV. G. MENNEN WILLIAMS is counting on his record of the past six years to secure his re-election on Nov. 2. The governor is the third governor in the state to serve three consecutive terms, but is the second Democrat in Michigan history to be re-elected since the Civil War. In 1952, the tide of votes which swept him back to his post in Lansing was the largest in gubernatorial campaign history. Gov. Williams was born in Detroit and was graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1936. He immediately entered public service as attorney for the Social Se- curity Board in Washington. Between 1938 and 1948, he served in quick succession as Assistant Attorney General for Michigan, Executive Assistant to United States Attorney-General Frank Murphy, and Special Assistant to the Criminal Division of the Jus- tice Department. After working during the war as Air Com- bat Intelligence Officer, he returned to Michi- gan to the post of Deputy Director of the Of- fice of Price Administration for the state. He then served as a member of the Michigan Li- quor Control Commission.. SINCE his election to the position of gover- nor of the state, he has succeeded in meet- ing an amazing number of the people in Mich- igan. This is despite the fact that he puts in a 16-hour day regularly. Most of the hand-shak- ing, for which his opponents criticize him, is done in his spare time. He attempts to get opinions from the people themselves, not only from governmental ex- perts; through letters and public appearances, he has done much in bringing government home to the people of the state. A look at Gov. Williams' record of the past six years will reveal his excellence in his po- sition. ONCE CALLED "Soapy's Folly" by his Re- publican opponents, the Mackinac Straits Bridge is now under construction. This is part of the governor's "Build Michigan" pro- gram for which he has fought so arduously in the past and which he promises to continue to advance. In the field of health, more hospitals have been built during Gov. Williams' administra- tion than in any comparable period in state history. He has advocated extending voting rights to 18-year olds. He has also asked for a revised election code and has backed two of the recommendations of a bi-partisan study commission on election procedures with these words: "The first of these (recommendations) is an effort to achieve bi-partisan local election boards by providing that the names of appli- cants be submitted by the county chairman of the two major political parties. This is a badly needed reform. "The second recommendation calls for sub- mission of a constitutional amendment to elim- inate the present ex-officio State Board of Canvassers and to substitute a statutory bi- partisan board. The present system . . . is repugnant to justice and to democratic pro- cedures." IN ADDITION, tuberculosis sanatorium space has been increased by 25 per cent. As a result, for the first time in Michigan sufficient beds are now available for TB patients. More than 5000 beds have been added to state mental hospitals, mental clinics for chil- dren have been increased and new hospitals are being constructed. During the past six years, old age assistance minimum payments have been increased by $20 per month. For the working man, unemplayment in- surance and workmen's compensation have also been increased. These are only a few of the accomplishments of the governor. For the farmers, fie has per- sonally led emergency marketing drives to help sell bumper crops; teachers, retirement bene- fits have been increased by 25 per cent; min- ing has been revived in the Upper Peninsula through tax relief; the state police have been increased by almost 13 per cent. MANY OF these programs have been pushed through the legislature despite criticisms and unsuccessful attempts by Republican legisla- tors to thwart the governor at every turn. However, Gov. Williams feels that there is more-much more-to be done. "Build tomorrow's roads today" is one of Gov. Williams' campaign promises. One of the most urgent needs is the construction of ac- cess roads to the Mackinac Bridge. To protect the people of Michigan against increased taxes such as consumer, sales and state income taxes, the governor has proposed a corporate profits tax. An integrated program for road, harbor and industrial development has been planned by the governor to take full advantage of the St. Lawrence Seaway project, Another point in Gov. Williams' program is a new industrial safety law. It will replace the present act which was written in 1909. HE HAS COME out strongly several times for a state Fair Employment Practices law. Since coming into office in 1949, he has urged the legislature every regular session to adopt legislation to this end. "The need for such legislation has never been greater. Continued discrimination in em- ployment on grounds of color, religion or an- cestry is a profound contradiction of Ameri- can principles. It is quite evident from these concrete facts that Gov. Williams should be sent back to Lan- t see "' +.. ew;' ;;' 'lw. ' N iy n '': :. r ..:. i r i ',,- ' , "mil -'+tJ y r ____. .e ) . . s= , . ,/fn .., . d ' ' eD 9S4 YNG W+ySW QT N PpSY c4. LETTERS _ Parliamentary Procedure... To The Editor: DEMOCRACY is a word we too often leave in the class room. Students forget that democracy in a free society stretches from the echelons of government right down and through such working exam- ples as club meetings, social activ- ities and the school they attend. It is everyone's duty in a free society to exercise those rights and privi- leges which he has been bestowed. Parliamentary procedure is a means by which one can guaran- tee democratic processes in organ- ized clubs and groups. For this reason, the Union and League are presenting as a service to the student body an evening lec- ture by Prof. Fred Stevenson en- titled, "Conducting A Business Meeting: Parliamentary Proce- dure." In his lecture, which will be followed by a question and answer period, Prof. Stevenson will espe- cially emphasize the importance of parliamentary ptocedure as a means by which one can guaran- tee democratic processes in organ- ized clubs and groups. Prof. Stevenson will lecture on Tuesday evening, Nov. 2, at 7:30 p.m. in rooms 3-KLMN of the Michigan Union. Make it a date now to attend. -Mary Jo Park Michigan League Harlan Givelber Michigan Union * * * SL Candidates.. .

If it hadn't been for the golf ball President Eisenhower gave to Senator Schoeppel of Kan- sas, he might not be having quite such a hard time getting re-elected today. Andy Schoeppel, who represents one of the most farming states in the nation, had been wobbling on 90 per cent of parity before the crucial farm bill vote came up last summer. Behind the closed doors of the Senate Agriculture Commit- tee, Andy actually voted both ways -for and against 90 per cent price supports. So Ike took the Kansas Senator out for a round of gold at Burning Tree to stiffen his convictions. And, afterward, Ike gave Andy one of those coveted golf balls made especially for Eisenhower and marked: "Mr. President." After that Andy voted "right." So the farmers of Kansas now have the feeling that Senator Schoeppel has sold their birthright for one golf ball. NOTE--On the other hand, the grain dealers and elevator men of Kansas are grateful to Schoeppel for intervening with the White House to set aside the grain clean- up order which would have requir- ed wheat with too great a percent- age of rat droppings and weevil to be used only as cattle feed. When 45 carloads of wheat were seized for an excess of rat droppings, Walter Scott of the Kansas City Grain Exchange got in touch with Senator Schoeppel, who pressured the White House. As a result, both Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Oveta Culp Hobby and Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Ben- son stepped in and reversed the Truman grain cleanup order dur- ing the early months of the Eisen- hower Administration. It has not been reinstated. SECRET OIL CONTRIBUTIONS THIS IS NOT supposed to be pub- lished until after the election, and doubtless there will be howls of anguish when it comes out. How- ever, this column has just obtained a confidential list of 21 Texas mil- lionaires-most of them oilmen- who have contributed heavily to the Citizens for Eisenhower during the closing days of the campaign. Altogether, the 21 Texans dug up $56,000 to be pumped into key states where the race is close. Un- der the law, their names don't have to be made public until the election is over. However, it won't hurt to let the public know who they are as of today. For there may be a good reason why the oil moguls are especially generous. They are now trying to get an increase in one of the big- gest tax concessions given any group of American taxpayers- the oil depletion allowance. THANKS to this 27% per cent al- lowance, the oil moguls begin by figuring only 72 per cent of 'their gross income for tax purposes in- stead of 100 per cent. But on top of this, the oilmen want more, namely a repeal of a Congressional amendment providing that the oil depletion allowance must not ex- ceed 50 per cent of their net in- come - that is, after entertain- ment, business expenses and other items are deducted. Furthermore, the oil moguls have boldly indicated to a Cabinet com- mittee set up by President Eisen- hower that if this scheme doesn't bring them tax relief, they will de- mand an increase of the 27 per cent oil depletion deduction. It will be interesting to see what happens.

But there are two main questions. When shall they be held? What shall be talked about? « * * « N REGARD to the timing of the talks, the accords signed last Sat- urday in Paris have settled one thing definitely, that they must come after ratification. Until the new accords were reached, the way was open to proposals by the Soviet Union for the negotiation of a German peace treaty ahead of, and indeed in place of, a West Europ- ean system which includes West Germany. Serious proposals of that kind made after the French Assembly rejected E.D.C. in August would have made it impossible to negotiate successfully at London and Paris. The proposals would have had a commanding priority in German, ,in French, and in a large section of British opinion. But the Soviet Union made no such proposals, thereby demon- strating again what the Berlin conference of last winter had shown: -that they do not now intend to reach an all-German settlement which requires the relinquishment of Eastern Germany. The opportun- ity to negotiate about Germany was obvious throughout September as Mr. Molotov in fact admits in his latest note. But he did not seize the opportunity. * * * * FOR THESE reasons, anything they may now propose about Germany can be made a negotiation only after the Paris accords have been ratified. They have lost, they have rejected, the opportunity to raise the question once more of whether a Western system shall be organ- ized. The priorities have now been reversed. Ratification of the West- ern pacts has priority over discussion of an all-German settlement. For it is now quite plain that until the new accords are ratified, the result of talks would not be to unite Germany but merely to disrupt the West. WHEN WE come to the question of what to talk about when we talk, it may be said that the new accords provide a concrete basis for small, useful, unspectacular negotiation. The Soviet note argues that because these accords tie Western Germany to Western Europe, they are in contradiction with the idea of German unity. For the time being that is true. But what is even more in contradiction with the idea of German unity is the manifest policy of the Soviet Union to hold on to Eastern Germany. Until and unless this policy is altered, any European arrangement will have to accept- as a fact the division of Germany. * * * * WHEN EAST WEST talks do take place, the subject of these talks will have to be-not the reunification of Germany but-how to relax the tension in a divided Germany. That will almost certainly be the theme of the coming diplomatic negotiations. How can the powers facilitate trade and intercourse between East and West Germany, be- tween East and West Europe? And after that, the talks might turn to the possibility of a reduc- tion of the tactical forces now arrayed against one another along the Iron Curtain. The new Western accords bring the tactical armaments of the Western continent under international limitation. It is not in- conceivable that a reciprocal arrangement could be made in Eastern Europe, and that the two limited and controlled military systems could then agree on a progressive reduction of their forces. THIS IS the most probable direction in which things can be made to go, assuming they go well. No dramatic overall settlements-global or even continental. But a lowering of barriers, a removal of inspectors and check points, a reduction of forces, a relaxation of tension. This has been happening in Austria. It appears to be happening in Korea. It could be what is going to happen in Germany. (Copyright 1954, New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN 'I v At the State . . . ADVENTURES OF HAJJI BA- BA, with John Derek, Elaine Stewart. ONCE IN the proverbial blue moon, Hollywood gets around to satirizing its own pictures. The sex-and-sand type was well par- odied recently in "Crimson Pirate" with Burt Lancaster, the Westerns were joshed successfully in "Red Garters," the Rosemary Clooney festival, etc. But once in a while they turn up with a picture in which you're not quite sure whe- ther it's a parody or not: "Hajji Baba" is this type. If it's intention- ally funny, they've done a magni- ficent job; if not, they've turned out one of the kind that's so corny you can't help but laugh. They have intensified this effect by having Nat "King" Cole singing a Dmitri Tiomkin ("High Noon") song incessantly in the back- ground, which is the most inane, ridiculous thing ("Come to my tent, 0 my beloved") to assail my ears in a long time.- At any rate, they've done one thing well: the color photo- graphy is superb. The screen credits say it's the work of some- body named Hoyningen-Huene, who would seem to be a master at his craft. The film is gorgeous, with deep blues, rich maroons, and a set of magnificent black- and-white tents, and it's really a joy to watch. And adding to the visual spectacle are some of the barest women since Eddie Cantor's "Roman Scandals." There are servant girls in sort of pinchback toga affairs; wild, savage women of the hills in more or less one mouse-skin apiece; dancing girls limited to one bauble, one bangle and one bead; and finally Elaine Stewart in all kinds of diaphanous drap- ery. There's one heck of a lot of sand around too. Unfortunately, though, there's still the plot. It deals with a bar- ber (Derek) who somehow or oth- er finds himself transporting the Princess Fawzia across the desert to marry a chieftain (Paul Picer- ni) who would greatly enjoy rul- ing all Persia. Daddy Caliph is a little averse to his daughter mar- rying Black Paul, so he sends his armies out to get her back. They goof it. She ends up with Paul and decides this isn't such a red..hot I Architecture Auditorium IVAN THE TERRIBLE. (Rus- sian dialogue with sub-titles) Starring an all-star Russian cast. Directed by Eisenstein. Music by Prokofieff. IVAN THE TERRIBLE is an ex- ample of superior motion-pic- ture craftsmanship. History is the plot. The picture begins with the coronation of the Muscovite, Ivan the Fourth. The Boyars, another Russian tribe, constantly try to undo the plans of Ivan to unify the separate Rus- sian states. These Boyar conspir- acies and the means by which Ivan overcomes them provide the plot of this motion picture. BUT THE STORY is unimport- ant. The main function served by this film is to display the superior artistry of the greatest director of all time, Sergei Eisenstein. From the outset, the sensitive touch of Eisenstein and his atten- tion to fine detail are felt. The cor- onation ritual exemplifies this skill quite well. Specifically, the excellence of the costumes which identify the characters so effect- ively, and such pagentry as the shower of golden coins upon the head of the newly-crowned czar afford the picture an important authenticity. The acting is of the highest cal- ibre. The performer in this film manages to convey the mood of the action through facial expres- sion and body movement so well that one feels the language simply is not needed. The battle sequences are master- pieces of cinematography. For that matter, throughout the picture, Eisenstein and company exhibit a fabulous versatility with their use of camera angles to achieve an excellent effect. THE MUSICAL score deserves high praise. Serge Prokofieff con- tributes some of his best work. The composer employs his consumnate skill to achieve a condition in his score that supports the film and accentuates the important pictor- ial sequences. This is shown best in the use of choruses in the scenes of pomp and ritual and the use of interplay within the string section to underline the sequences where the mood is one of height- 4 The Daily.
