PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY 19ATVRDAY..DECEMBER . ism IK saaasvavLAi i!L t/J[JIJ IyL',W $ 1it7.9s b SHOUTING GOES ON: Tactics, Refusal To Testify Earn Censure for Joe "It Needs Something At The Bottom" "E ERYTHING's over but the shouting" seems appropriate'terminology for the Mc- Carthy censure hearings. The last debate of the special session has been given, the final vote counted. The junior Senator from Wisconsin has for- mally been "condemned" on two counts nar- rowed by the Watkins committee from thirteen general categories. The first vote charged Mc- Carthy with obstructing the "Constitutional processes of the Senate" and acting contrary to its traditions in failing to cooperate with a sub- committee which investigated him in 1951 and 1952, and in "abusing" the group's members. Introduced by Sen. Bennett of Utah during the special session, the second charge "hereby condemned" McCarthy for his "handmaiden" and other charges against the Watkins sub- committee. While not bringing the abuse charge of Gen. Zwicker to a vote, the Senate adjourned sine die, having rebuked one of its fellow mem- begs for the fourth time in history. BUT THE shouting continues. Charging that forgery and suppression of evidence have been used against him, Sen. McCarthy has launched a new investigation. And, although not enough praise can be bestowed upon the Wat- kins sub-committee for its fair and comprehen- sive weighing of charges against him, Sen. Mc- Carthy persists in his accusation that'he was censured because he "dared to do the 'dishon- orable' thing of exposing Communists in the gov- ernment." The junior Senator doesn't know when to quit. Even the nationwide campaign for "ten mil- lion patriots for Joe" fizzled to only one and a half million as the hearings approached their tense climax. McCarthy's supporters did cele- brate their so-called victory of replacing the word "condemned" for "censured" in the final resolution, but consultation of the dictionary places little importance on this maneuver. The two words are synonyms. FROM THE crest of his glory just two years ago the junior Senator has slipped about as low in public respect as a man in his position can. Ironically, he is now somewhat dubiously enjoying the position in which he has so often placed witnesses testifying before his commit- tees. It seems fitting and just that Sen. Mc- Carthy is being condemned for the same prac- tices for which he has verbally tormented his witnesses-refusing to testify. But this is by no means the main reason for the censure vote. Despite its many weaknesses, the Senate has rarely been confronted with such dishonoring and obstructing tactics of one of its members. The Senator's constant abuse of human rights and the powers with which he was entrusted has produced a visible decline of Sen- ate prestige at home and of the United States prestige abroad. Contrary to his recently-expressed opinion, McCarthy was not censured for his expose of Communists in government-if such was his ac- complishment. The final Senatorial action was an overwhelming disapproval of McCarthy's ob- structive and abusive tactics unbecoming a United States Senator. The Senate studied the Watkins report carefully and responsibly. The result, to use McCarthy's words, was not a "vote of confidence." -Mary Ann Thomas s14 ' #,. . j, A-f .. @ CAMS : " " :° tP eati' ca ^s S n LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Art Museum Features Whistler, Textiles 0NLY RARELY, I believe, does one have the opportunity to see first hand such a comprehensive collection (150 prints) of one artist's graphic work as is displayed this month at the Museum of Art. Although the Whistler Prints Exhibition may seem fragile to the point of insipidity as the result of one's accustomedness to the formal and thematic violence of much contemporary art, one should: keep in mind the not inconsiderable stature of this artist. James Abbott McNeill Whistler, 1834-1903, was the major Ameri- can figure in the early history of modern art and as an etcher, par- ticularly in his devotion to his craft, some critics have ranked him second to only Rembrandt. His etchings brought success when his paintings were scorned and it is his etchings today that still command the greatest respect. One may study the artist's development here from the detailed realism of his French plates to the simple lyricism of his Nocturns while being provided along the way with examples of some of Whistler's most famous works: The Traghetto, The Embroidered Curtain and An- nie Haden (dry point). The hard, metallic quality of the copper plate is transmitted to the etchings and yet is transformed into delicate and resonant pat- terns of light and texture out of which are spun countless lines, sharp as razor cuts and free as smoke wisps.. Whistler is indeed able to establish a fine balance between sub- ject, formal elements such as line and pattern, and the natural "feel" of the medium which can give the greatest pleasure to a sensitive spec- tator. Lithographs by Whistler are also exhibited, but they seem to this reviewer as comparatively dull works. Apparently Whistler did not have the temperament to exploit the vigorous, bold qualities that lithography has to offer. This collection is the University's having been bequeathed in 1936 by Margaret Watson Parker as part of a larger collection of art objects including many Japanese works. It is appropriate that orien- tal art should also have been collected since Whistler is known to have been fascinated by Japanese prints. In fact, they became a formative element in the development of his style. He, as well as Degas, Manet, Renoir and Monet, frequented such little oriental curiosity shops as "La Porte Chinoise" in Paris. It is only a matter of a few steps and the gallery visitor may see several good prints by Utamaro, also from the Parker collection, in the Oriental Gallery which will give an excellent idea of what was so valued by Whistler. ALSO SHOWING is the French Textiles 1685-1800 exhibition. It is a show of suggestions and fragments that attempts to illustrate some of the textile design trends in 18th century France. In this respect it is perhaps not too successful, although the caption guides are helpful. Perhaps more important to the casual observer, the textiles touch the imagination with intimations of the luxurious and sump-. tuous. The bold design, rich color and texture variety tantalizingly evoke visions of great pieces of the material extravagantly draped across a wail. It is something to inspire artists of Matisse like temperaments as well as to stimulate one's own awareness of another field of artistic expression. -Victor H. Miesel DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN GALEN DRIVE: Contributions Help Make Hospital's Kids Happy T ODAY is the last day of the annual Galens Christmas drive. Not only do contributions from this drive bring cheer to children in the hospital at Christmas through the Galens Christmas party, but throughout the year Galens donations make possible an organized crafts program for the children in University Hospital. Besides supplying all of the equipment and craft materials needed in the workshop the Ga- lens pay the salary of a full time teacher with the money netted from the drive. The many contributors to the Galens tag day, and the 26 members of the Galens Hon- orary Medical Society should be commended for what they are doing for children in Uni- versity Hospital. -Kathy Severance Academic' Cream of Crop' Shouldn't Sour on SL THE GENTLEMEN of law are joshing, of course, in the flurry of letters they have recently sent to the editor, letters rather be- wilderingly vehement in their anti-Student Legislature feeling. We must venture one ques- tion, Why are the graduate barristers (a se- lect few, to be fair to our grand schola legis) directing their superior wit against an essen- tially undergraduate body? Cautiously and with great humility we shall suggest a few possible reasons and then evaluate them. Do they wish to set up their own standards for extra-curricular activities and demand the adherance to them of the University's 15,000 other students. No-this is surely not the reason. For the barristers are to be our in- struments of justice in the years to come. DO THEY begrudge unhappy, maladjusted undergraduates for compensating in such an extra-curricular activity, for wending their laborious way towards maturity in such a non- pecuniary manner? No-for the barristers on their ascendant level of human interactional and behavioristic dealings could hardly bother with such petty maldirection, and besides, it's "all a part of growing-up." Has the intense legislative violence of SL ever turned on the gentlemen of law (for this alone would seem to explain their intense and persistent humour). No-SL, as well as the entire campus, demurs to the "academic cream of the crop-the student lawyers." Ah, well what can it be? Men of law, jus- tice, and honor, wherefore do thou such in- famy to SL? -David Levy Matcher Speech .. . To the Editor: PRESIDENT Hatcher's recent speech to the IFC presidents has again demonstrated the wis- dom employed in selecting him as the president and diplomatic representative of this university. His broadmindedness, impartiali- ty, intelligence, and foresighted- ness should serve as an outstand- ing example to be emulated by all thinking persons. -Alan Stuart Ross * * * Point of View... To the Editor: MR. MOORE'S remarks con- cerning student governments were, unfortunately at least par- tially true inasmuch as a student government that is permitted to do no more than express student opinion seems to be of no real use. However, as a university is created for its students, it also seems reasonable that mature, re- sponsible members of the student body should have quite a bit to say about thehpolicies of the uni- versity. Personally, I believe that many students dislike having to accept decisions made by the ad- ministration on the theory that "affairs can be handled far more efficiently and competently by the officials of the University who are being paid to do the job," simply because there is often a great dis- tance separating the points of view of the student and the ad- ministration, and because the po- sition of the officials does not necessarily carry added insurance against making mistakes. -Kenneth Edwards, '56E * *' * Davis Fund . . To the Editor: WHETHER McCarthy's premises are justifiable is a question not yet fully determined by the American public. However, few can seriously doubt that McCarthy was not a gentleman in the Senatorial sense of the word in his actions toward the subcommittee which Investigated him in 1952 and to- ward Gen. Zwicker and Senator Watkins. It was, indeed, one of "the finest hours" of the Senate when they voted to censure him on the former action. There is now an opportunity for a "fine hour" on the University of Michigan campus. A committee has been organized in the Literary School which seeks to raise, by voluntary contribution, an amount equal to the severance pay which the Board of Regents refused to grant H. Chandler Davis. It would be a fine show of stu- dent pride if students would con- tribute funds to this committee for the issue affects the whole Uni- versity community. Contributions may be sent to Prof. Bott, 3006 Angell Hall. -Arthur Oleinick, '57 * * * Eementary-... To the Editor: AH, SWEET breath of spring. At long last a clear voice from the blue has pierced the clouds surrounding my cranium and sun- light streams in. Becky Conrad, in the "first in a series of inter- pretive articles dealing with the origin, purpose and structure of the proposed Student Government Council," has once again given my university life purpose. She cogently points out that there no longer is a need for one to wander about in a confused state with SAC, SL, SASC and SGC rolling forth from bubbling lips. The whole problem is really with the SASC. Out of this grew SGC. Now SGC, "under this pro- posal, would take over functions of SL and SAC." Remember, Hat- cher set up SASC to study SAC in the first place. At this point the whole thing remains rela- tively simple. SAC, (nowhere in the article given any further identification by Miss Conrad ... but then everybody knows what SAC is. They control planes ... or is that the plane spotters on top of the Union .. . General Le- may smokes cigars and she likes hot rods . . . pfft) SAC, I say, was there since 1909. Hatcher makes SASC to study SAC. Out comes SGC, and goodbye SL. Really nothing to it if you follow Miss Conrad's advice and diagram as you go along. By the way, somewhere along in here between CASCO, UNESCO and SAC, Steve Jelin heard the clarion call of home and the hearth and threw in the towel. Well, anyway, we're all set for the big vote on the 8th and 9th. CSP urges all of us to exercise our privilege and get in there and re- ferendum. (In case you missed CSP, they dropped in when Jelin dropped out). If we don't re- ferendum as we have never refer- endumbdumbed before, SL will become the watchdog of the Re- gents while CSP takes over YD and SASC and SAC go up the hill to fetch a pail of HadaCOL. Finally, if there are any ques- tions, we are invited to ask The Daily. Or you can attend a Campus Forum to be held Tues- day at a "location not yet de- termined." Moral: The Michigan Daily re- tains a high circulation without comic strips. -Ted W. Swift, '55L . . -*' Fire Fund Thanks.. . To the Editor: WE WISH to thank the members of The Michigan Daily staff for the effort and time you gave to collecting money and clothing for those students who were burn- ed out in the fire which occurred on October 28th. You may be in- terested to know that the total collected was $769.50. To this the Dean of Women and the Dean of Men contributed through the grant-in-aid funds available to their offices. A distribution of the money has been made, and we know how grateful the students were for this assistance which helped, in some measure, to compensate for the severe losses they sustained. We thank and commend the Michigan Daily for establishing the Fire Relief Fund. It was a real service to fellow students. Sincerely yours, -W. B. Rea John Bingley * * * Sunday Magazine .. . To the Editor: WE WISH TO express our dis- tinct and enthusiastic praise for The Daily Sunday Magazine. A venture such as this one im- measurably adds to the prestige and dignity of The Daily and of the University as well. We, the Board of Directors of "Cognizance," a new campus lit- erary magazine of an esoteric na- ture, also wish to express our fu- ture potential as Magazine ad- vertisers. Thanks to The Daily and con- "gratulations for those who now advertise in the Magazine. Ben Uchitelle, Bobo Kahan, David E. Levy * * *- Pnr Pnltieg - DREW PEARSON: Remington Killed By Perverts? WASHINGTON -- The murder of William Remington in Lewis- burg penitentiary was not the re- sult of anti-Communist hatred or of rival prison gangs, but of the worst vice occurring in our pri- sons today-homosexuality. That is the judgment of one ex- convict who served with Reming- ton in Lewisburg, plus that of various prison experts. It highlights a system which breeds more crime instead of cur- ing it, which makes hardened criminals out of first-termers and which spews increasing amounts of social poison into the blood stream of American life. Lewisburg happens to be among the best of the federal penitentiar- ies. Among convicts it is called the "country club." It is better run, and its inmates have a bet- ter chance of rehabilitation. And if two convicts were able to steal into Remington's cell at Lewisburg to bludgeon him to death, much worse is able to take place, and has taken place, in the cesspools of overcrowded human- ity which are called state peni- tentiaries. "You can't believe it unless you see it," said John Staples, of Washington, D. C., who recently served time in Lewisburg on a charge of income-tax evasion. "You think Remington was kill- ed by Communist haters? No, he was killed because of a sex deal. Prison Beatings 'He probably made some re- mark about some affair, and that's why he got his. I never heard of this deal of the brick in the sock. When I was there they used those brushes you have for cleaning out toilet bowls. "The same thing happened to a guy in the bed next to me," con- tinued Staples., "He made a re- mark about two guys who were having an affair. Just happened to say wasn't it terrible that such things were tolerated. So one night they came in after lights out, pulled the blanket up over his head so he couldn't see who it was and couldn't get away "They just about beat him to death, and even if he had seen them he wouldn't have dared tell anyone about it, else he would have been killed for sure. I put my head under the covers and tried to pretend I was asleep, or I would have gotten it too. "They don't bother anyone in Lewisburg because he's a Com- munist. Everybody up there hates the government. The more you hate the government, the more you're respected. "And this idea that someone wanted to steal money from Rem- ington is pure poppycock," said Staples. "Everyone knows that the most dangerous thing you can have is money. When they come around to inspect your locker and find money in it, you're in trou- ble. You can's us money in. jail -except for bribery, and that's why it isn't allowed. "Your money is taken away when you come in any any money your relatives send is kept on ac- count. You have a charge ac- count at the commissary, but you can't use money. "So when the prison authorities talk about stealing something out of Remington's locker, it's just an alibi to cover up the worst thing that happens in a pen. Disease in Jail "A kid who comes to the pen doesn't have a chance,",continued Staples. "Some boy 18 or 19 looks like a movie star to those guys who have been in there five or ten years, and probably will be in there five or ten more. He'll wind up perverted, or in a padded cell, or both. "I worked in the hospital, and when these guys who were healthy when they entered the pen start- ed coming for treatment, I was sort of confused, but I caught on. We gave shots every week, and every week we had plenty of new customers. "You can't tel me the authori- ties don't know anything about it either. I've seen men right out in the prison yard kissing. each other, and combing each other's hair. The guards would have to be blind not to see it, too. When we left, the assistant warden gave us a little speech, kind of a send- off. And he actually told us: 'If any of you men have engaged in homosexual activities while you've been here, don't let it bother you. You can all go back to a normal life.' "That's just what he told, us," staples said. "Now isn't that a helluva thingh! "Isn't that better than telling CURRENT MOVIES -L i .At the Orpheum...

As for the film, this concerns the activities of a spy ring of a rather quaint sort. The leader is Godfrey Tearle, onetime Roosevelt imperson- ator. Robert Donat becomes involved in a barely improbable series of intrigues and counter in- trigues. In order to escape from the calculated stupidities of the British Police, and also to locate a man in Scotland to whom he has been referred by a beautiful dying female agent, Donat flees to Scotland. UNFORTUNATELY, he is discovered on a train and takes off on foot. A droll incident occurs about here when Donat comes upon the hut of a tight fisted Scotchman and his plump wife. The Scot is shrewdly portrayed by some- one who looks as if he might be a Hitchcock discovery from off the streets of London. But Donat is not yet played out though the police are at the door. He makes off with the Scot's coat and locates the mysterious Mr. Tearle. I cannot bring myself to tell more of the story. Hitchcock suspense is not designed to be di- luted by reviews such as this. A comparison of Thirty-Nine Steps with the most recent Hitchcock film, Rear Window, shows that Alfred has lost none of his famous camera technique during the passing years. For all of CinemaScope and Wide Range Sound and Technicolor I still somehow prefer his early films.
