PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1953 EDITOR'S NOTE By GENE HARTWIG Daily Managing Editor CLEARLY SOME confusion has crept into the comments on what went on at last week's meeting of the SGC Steering Commit- tee. At that time this writer inquired of the committee what correct procedures would be for getting on the ballot an all-campus refer- endum on the driving ban. The question was whether Student Legislature's regulations still stand or whether such a referendum would have to be approved by the steering committee. By unanimous vote the committee indicated that so far as it was concerned the SL regula- tions regarding referenda still held good. In the course of discussion sentiment was expressed that a referendum on the ban would probably be untise at this time since the Regents. have already been made aware of student opinion on this subject by a similar poll two years ago. The steering committee was in no sense re- commending any sort of immediate action on the problem or attempting to point up one problem as more important than the multi- tude of other questions that will undoubtedly face Student Government Council when it comes into existence. At any rate the steering committee was not and indeed can not say that such a referendum should or should not be held. The function of the seering committee is not to tackle these substantive questions which will fall within the provence of SGC at a later date. IN THE LIGHT of President Hatcher's com- ments last week on the driving ban it would appear that the Regents could use some con- vincing that the regulation should be changed. From a moderately friendly view toward modifying the ban two years ago, the Board has apparently retreated solidly behind a pol- icy of no change and stricter enforcement. Far be it from anyone to pressure the Board of Regents into action on the driving ban ques- tion, however it does not seem excessive to ask that a study group be set up by the president to attack a problem that can get only worse as the University expands. Let us hope SGC will be sufficiently alert to its responsibilities to tackle this problem early in its career. ONE OF OUR Labor Youth League friends dropped over the other day and left an informative little pamphlet labeled "UMT-- A Plan for Peace? or a Plan for War?" On the back of this document was printed the fact that it was "Issued as a public service by:- Michigan Labor Youth League" giving a De- troit address. Glancing through this attractively printed brochure is an education in the mass propa- ganda techniques developed to such a per- fection by the Communist Party and its satel- lite groups. Among others the pamphlet makes such co- gent points as, "the forces behind UMT fear an independent, thinking, questioning, Am- erican youth. They would rather substitute, the dictates of a Military Policeman in the place of debate, discussion and independent thought." No mention is made of the systema- tic thought control of Soviet youth and the all-seeing eye of the MVD. Another paragraph titled "The Hoax of 'So- viet Aggression," reads: "In the atomic and hydrogen age, there must be an alternative to building up two armed camps. This alterna- tive is opened up in the fact that the Soviet Union has repeatedly called for Big Four Conferences, for a ban on A- and H-bombs, for a general reduction of armaments, and for a European Security Pact, which would include every nation in Europe, not only the handful in NATO. The adoption of UMT would be a flat rejection of these peaceful overtures by the Soviet Union before any effort to reduce tensions has been made." This makes delightful reading along side of recent statements by Molotov to the effect, "In case of eventual war, world civilization will not perish but what will be destroyed is the rotten social system with its blood-saturated imper- ialism which is being rejected by oppressed peoples." Interesting too, is the recent declaration of the Soviet Parliament, "Europe could become the arena of a new war if the Western nations carry through plans to arm West Germany." Of course it is possible that the pamphlet was prepared before the Moscow line shifted to a renewed emphasis on increased production in heavy industry and armaments. The LYL'ers climax their declaration with the ringing, challenge, "Time is growing short! The big brass, politicians and businessmen who support UMT are determined to push it through the 84th Congress. The people stopped UMT before-we can do it again . . . Imme- diate, powerful pressure from the people and their organizations . . . Letters, telegrams, delegations to your Congressmen will stop UMT.": At the risk of being marked for extermina- tion when the Communists finally take over, I would venture that it is manefestly absurd for any free nation not to be adequately pre- pared to meet the possible aggression of a state that seeks to destroy the very basis of our western culture. Armies, military preparedness and war are ugly things. The problem for the free nations is how to maintain military preparedness with- out endangering the liberties so fundamental to democratic society. Regardless of the merits of a universal military training program it does provide one answer to the problem of military preparedness in these troubled times. DREW PEARSON: AEC Slow To Warn On Fall-out W ASHINGTON -Probably the most amazing development In the bogged-down field of civil defense is the fact that the Ato- mic Energy Commission didn't bother for a long time to tell Civil Defense Director Val Peterson about the greatly increased hazard to the American people from H- bomb "fall-out." Peterson is charged with the job of defending the U.S.A. in case of H-bomb attack. Yet it was weeks after the sensational H-bomb ex- plosion in the Pacific last March before the Atomic Energy Com-. mission, much more interested in Dixon-Yates, told himhow diffi- cult his civil defense problem had become by reason of the fall-out dust from the H-bomb. Furthermore, A d m. L e w i s Strauss, AEC Chairman, did not bother to inform the American people about the new danger until Sen. Clinton Anderson of New Mexico wrote him a sharp letter insisting that the public was en- titled to know the shocking facts about radioactivity in the wake of the Hell-bomb.' Senator Kefauver of Tennessee' today is giving civil defense a much needed shot in the arm by holding Senate hearings. From these a new system of civil de- fense may evolve. Because the H-bomb fall-out covers such a wide territory, Civil Defense Director Peterson is al- ready revising his plan for evacu- ating cities. People would have to travel much too far to be safe. Ike's Stepchild SENATOR KEFAUVER may al- so point to the manner in which the Eisenhower Adminis- tration has made the vitally im- portant Civil Defense Adminis- tration a stepchild. No agency should be in closer touch with the Army and Air Force than Civil Defense; yet it was exiled to Bat- tle Creek, Mich., chiefly to help Sen. Homer Ferguson of Michigan in his campaign for re-election. Even the appointment of Peter- son was a fluke. An ex-Governor of Nebraska, he was originally scheduled to beSecretary of the Interior. But the late Senator But- ler of Nebraska, whom Peterson had opposed for re-election, vig- orously objected. Then Ike pro- posed making him Under-Secre- tary of Agriculture. Again Butler objected. Then Ike planned to send Peterson as am- bassador to India, where he had served during the war. Butler ev- en opposed this. Finally Peterson was appointed to the White House staff, to which his senatorial enemy from Nebras- ka could not object, and later he was shifted to Civil Defense where he's been doing a good job. Friend of Phones HERE'S WHAT the American public should watch for if the Senate confirms George McCon- naughey to be Chairman of the Federal Communications Commis- sion: A general hike in phone rates. Here is the backstage reason for this prediction. For a long time the American Telephone and Telegraph Com- pany has been trying to get the FCC to change its base for fixing phone rates. In the past the FCC has held that rates should be bas- ed upon the original cost of the phone company's equipment. But the phone company wants rates based on the replacement value of its equipment, arguing that, costs have gone up since the equipment was first purchased. So far the FCC has refused. It knows that such a change in rate base would send phone rates up all over the country. Already phone rates have been increased $800,000,000 in recent years. However, new FCC Chairman McConnaughey has already pi- oneered exactly this rate-base change in Ohio. And it's reported the reason Senator Bricker of Ohio, a good friend of the phone interests, put him on the FCC was to help make the change national. Significantly, M c C o n n aughy tried to shy away from this back- ground when first quizzed by the Senators last fall. He was not then under oath. Otherwise he certainly would have opened him- self up to the charge of lying. When alert Sen. John Pastore of Rhode Island asked whether McConnaughey ever represented people "who ordinarily have busi- ness before the commission," Mc- Connaughey replied: "I have never represented any- one who had business before the Federal Communications Commis- sion." "Have you numbered among your clients at any time Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph?" asked able Senator Monroney of Ill ยง,Y r ' ' l' . 6 "+ . 4 h t ? } ~" 'I mr "It Fell To Earth I Knew Not Where" DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN V f t Po-. - CURRENT, MO VIES At the Michigan .. THE FAR COUNTRY is a predictable western with an inclusion of the problem of social awareness intended to lift it above the commonplace. The characters fall into neat and easily recognizable categories. Jimmie Stewart is the cowboy pistol and rifle expert, who, though aloof and self-seeking, must be utilized to get the bad people out of Dawson. Corrine Calvet is the good good woman, blonde and modest. Ruth Roman is the good bad woman, the tough, self-sufficient, dark- haired "boss-lady." There is the usual assortment of weaklings and good guys to be gunned and robbed by the usual assortment of scarred and mustach- ioed dog-heavies. The braid-heavy lusts for gold in a conventional manner but shows a great deal of good humor about such things as stealing, murdering, and hanging. By usurping the formalities of jus- tice he manages to promote both organized injustice and whimsical chaos. THE GOOD people are on the run until Jimmie Stewart's personal objectives happen to co- incide with the objectives of the good people. The good people want a church, a school, and the brain- heavy killed. This last is finally taken care of by Mr. Stewart who gets Miss Calvet as a bonus for his sudden social consciousness. Miss Roman is eliminated from the romance. She gets shot down in the traditional dash from the saloon between the smoking re- volvers of mighty opposites. The lack of social sense by Mr. Stewart and Miss Roman is neat- ly accounted for by unhappy love affairs somewhere back in the time before the picture began. Each having been hurt by a hu- man being, they spendmost of this picture mistrusting all humans. I suppose this is adequate Holly- wood psychology. Nothing is done to explain the villains. They are bad because the picture needs bad people. They must shoot good people so that we will be aroused. They must rob and shoot Stewart so that he will be aroused to do away with them is a notch above the ordinary. He and the picture can end with a promise of a new, brighter to- morrow, (which has been des- cribed to us as "a real town," with prohibition). THE CARTOON is poor. There is no attempt to maintain continuity. It is a vulgar and vio- lent series of grotesques based on bad puns, "barnyard jokes," and the systematic abuse of animals. This systematic violence with animals, usually by combining them with machines, seems to be Tex Avery's favorite device. (As I recall he was responsible, a few years back, for fastening a cat in place of the bag on an amaz- ingly efficient vacuum cleaner. The cleaner scooped up nails, glass, alarmclocks, and hot coals and deposited them in the cat's stomach. The cat then indicated discomfort by protruding red- veined eye-balls several feet out of the head. This eye-ball routine is one of Avery's favorites. The audience seems to love it.). In this cartoon there is a charming sequence in which a hog guzzles garbage from the drain of the kitchen sink, and another sequence using worn-out "jokes" on the possibility of forc- ing unbelievably large numbers of eggs out of small chickens. A real laugh riot. -Dick Lang (Continued from Page 2) Engrg. for Quality Control & Field Serv- ice, Design & Dev. Engrg. KXOA, Sacramento, Calif.

(Continued on Page 8) Middle East Alliance Adds To Anti-Red Strength NEW HOPE has developed for a more pow- erful Middle Eastern stronghold against Soviet threats of aggression. Long comparatively unsure of itself, the area now can reasonably expect stronger de- fenses on basis of a disclosure made yester- day of secret negotiations between Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon and Syria. All these nations have planned a "grand de- fensive alliance" to ward off possible Red ag- gression moves-and their decision indicates that peace in the Middle East will become an eventual reality. We can expect added strength from the joining in the pact of Jordan and Yemen, ex- pected to affiliate with the broad alliance in the near future, EGYPT'S position in Middle Eastern defense, long a ground for speculation and uncer- tainty, may swing over, at least virtually, to the new alliance. Although Egypt appears to have agreed with Saudi Arabia in refusing sev- eral invitations to ally with the stronghold- possibly because she has failed to sustain Arab. League opposition to the pact-the negotia- tions show increased hope for Egyptian co- operation. Egyptian Premier Abdel Nasser, experts have predicted, may now reconsider the joint ap- peal of Turkey and Pakistan for Egyptian help in defense of the Moslem world's western sec- tor. Support of Egyptian officials, needless to say, would mark a significant upswing in de- fense procedures. If it is successful and if it operates to its fullest potential, the new alliance may bring a decisively powerful counter-threat to Red aggressors. -Jane Howard LETTERS TO THE EDITOR MUSIC REVIEW At Rackham Auditorium BUDAPEST QUARTET. (Joseph Roisman, first violin; Alexander Schneider, second vi- olin; Boris Kroyt, viola; Mischa Schneider, violoncello.) Assisted by Robert Courte, vi- ola. PROGRAM: Beethoven, Quintet in C major, Op. 29; Bartok, Quartet No. 1, Op. '7; Brahms, Quintet in G major, Op. 111. IT WAS an entirely satisfying performance, mostly free from the small imperfections of Friday night's concert, and marked by some excellent, though seldom heard works. Sur- prisingly, the most familiar piece on the pro- gram was the Bartok quartet. All three com- positions benefited by the lyricism of the Budapest group's playing, and the ensemble was the equal of any I've heard. Robert Courters characteristically husky viola tone was much in evidence in the two quintets, but only when it needed to be prominent. Otherwise, he merged his style with that of the quartet as if he had been playing with it for years. The Beethoven quintet is anything but an occasional piece-it has the same qualities as his greater works, if perhaps in lesser measure. The inspiration flags somewhat in the second needed to be-clear, excellently paced, and tonally immaculate. Bartok's first quartet is a relatively early work, written before its composer had really crystallized his craft and style. But whatever structural faults it may have (and there are several), the quartet is full of vital, fresh ideas, and remains convincing even after acquain- tance with Bartok's mature compositions. It was a really superior performance, in which the tempo and mood changes of the last movement came off particularly well. A small point: the performers should have made up their minds whether or not to use the porta- mento glide in the main subject of the first movement, and should have done one or the other consistently. The program (and with it the festival) con- cluded with the Brahms G major quintet. A long work, full of massive, almost orchestral sonorities, with a delightful finale that can't decide what key it is in until the very end, it was played in fine style by Mr. Courte and'the quartet. The festival, as usual, has been a suc- cessful one, splendidly executed, and well re- ceived by the audiences. -Dave Tice CSP Meeting ..

Furthermore, Mc Connaughey represented them in the most im- portant phone-rate cases brought recently in Ohio; namely, Ohio Bell vs. Ohio Public Utilities Com- mission, 154 Ohio State 107; and Cincinnati and Suburban vs. Ohio Public Utilities Commission, 16 Ohio State 395. These were the cases involving the same principle which A.T.&T. wants to change in the Federar Communications Commission -- namely, rates based on reproduc- tion costs, not on the original cost of equipment. Michigan Daily gain access to the meetings of organizations on a completely open basis. However, it might be worthwhile for him to scrutinize the accuracy of his statements in regard to the In- ter-fraternity Council. In refer- ence to the IFC Mr. Eberhard pointed out that a part of the Fraternity Presidents' Assembly "is set aside as house presidents' time. Although the rest of the meeting is open, this . . . time is closed to Daily reporters. Anything the IFC decides to discuss in pri- vately may be postponed until the doors are carefully locked and guarded." It might be pointed out that during Fraternity Presidents' Time (1) no Daily reporter or any in- dividual is asked to leave; (2) no business is acted upon by the pre- sidents; (3) no doors are "care- fully locked and guarded"; and (4) any matter which is deemed to be of public interest by the re- porter may be released for publi- cation by merely obtaining the approval of the President or Exe- cutive Vice-President. At the last meeting of the Fraternity Presi- dents' Assembly on February 8th, the Daily reporter was asked if he wished to write on any matter mentioned during the Presidents' Time.
