Successful PR...
To the Editor:
THURSDAY morning I had the
privilege of witnessing one of
the University's most successful
attempts at public relations. Four
of our most talented performers
went up to Saginaw High School
and entertained 1500 students and
teachers with songs, music, and
dancing from past Union Operas.
The singing of Gordon Epding
and Earl Sayer, the dancing of
Andy White, and Paul McDon-
ough's piano accompaniment of
his own music were all superb. By
the time the quartet ended their
performance with a medley of Mi-

chigan songs the audience was
"eating out of their hands." The
way those high school kids en-
thusiastically applauded "Hail to
the Victors" made this alumnus
feel very, very proud.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:

Knight Woos, Wows Labor

WASHINGTON-Governor God-
win Knight of California, Re-
publican, once a darling of Cali-
fornia big business, did an inter-
esting thing while in the East for
the Governors' Conference last
week.
He spent his time not in kow-
towing to the White House or to
various Senators or to other Gov-
ernors. He spent a good part of
his time makingfriends where the
Republicans badly need friends--
with labor. He had a breakfast, a
dinner, and a lunch with the top
labor leaders in the Capital, then
wept to Philadelphia for a meet-
ing with the labor leaders of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and
Delaware.
Furthermore, he wowed 'em.
* * *
REMARKED DICK GREY, head
of the Building and Construction
Trades Union: "Here's a man
that could well run for President."
While Grey has supported Re-
publicans in the past - though'
dead against Eisenhower -other
life-long Democratic labor leaders
seemed highly impressed with the
Republican Governor of Califor-
nia. Among them was Joe Mc-
Comb of the Retail Clerks Local
1360 of Camden, N.J., also Di-
rector of the combined AFL-CIO
Political League for New Jersey.
"Why can't we have some good
Republicans like this?" he re-
marked. And he fingered his ro-
sary while having his picture
taken with the Governor, hoping,
he said, that it was not just a
dream.
- * * *
FOR KNIGHT HAD DINNER
with Bill Schnitzler, Secretary-
Treasurer of the American Feder-
ation of Labor, the No. 2 man to
President George Meany. He also
breakfasted with Jim McDevitt,
head of the AFL Labor League for
Political Rights. And he drove to
Philadelphia in the car of Jim
Suffridge, Secretary of the Retail
Clerks.
Finally he had an hour's con-

ference with Dave Beck, head of
the Teamsters' Union, in the lat-
ter's shiny new office in the
Teamsters' gleaming marble Ta
Mahal built right uhder the nose
of Congress.
ONE QUESTION labor leaders
were emphatic about was that
they would not have any part of
the Republican ticket if Nixon was
on it, either as President or Vice
President. The one heart-beat sep-
arating the Vice President from
the President, they said, was too
uncertain, especially when the
President is well over sixty.
Governor Knight was surpris-
ingly frank in his views on Nixon
during the Washington luncheon.
He made it clear that some top
California political leaders share

labor's view on Nixon and that
Nixon would not control a single
vote in the California delegation
at the Republican convention in
1956.
In Philadelphia, where about
fifty labor leaders met with
Knight at the Warwick Hotel,
Governor Knight was noncommit-
tal about Nixon. But he was em-
phatic in his opposition to the
Right-to-Work Bill in California.
* * *
"IF THEY MANAGE to get the
bill on the ballot under that de-
ceptive name," he promised, "I
,will stump the state against it."
He referred to the fact that the
so-called "right-to-work" bill is
actually aimed at preventing a un-
ion shop.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS:
Little Hope in Satellites

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Delegates from Soviet Rus.
sia and its seven European satellites meet in War-
saw today to set up a unified military command.
What does this move mean; What is the military
strength of these countries? How are the satellites'
people faring today under Moscowv's overlordship?).
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Foreign Correspondent
FOR ALMOST A YEAR there was a glimmer
of hope in the little Moscows of Eastern
Europe.
Stalin was dead. Beria, his secret police boss,
was dead, too.. The apparatus of cold terror
seemed to be breaking down.
A new Soviet premier, Georgi Malenkov, was
seeking to buttress himself by promising the
Soviet population shoes as well as guns, ice-
boxes and television as well as tanks and war-
planes.
Whatever happens in the Soviet Union is re-
flected at once in the captive countries, and
throughout satellite Europe the reversal was on.
Farmers, under the much-advertised "new

course," were freely leaving the hatred collec-
tives, a concession the governments hoped
would spur their production.
JN THE HEAVY industrial factories, there was
an indication of lessening pressure on the
workers.
The hope is fading today, and the little Mal-
enkovs-and who remain-walk in dread. They
seem to be on the short end of a struggle for
power that is a reflection of what goes on in the
Kremlin.
At the ioment, Soviet communism seems
split into two camps. On one side is the left--
or Stalinist-wing representing a hard line. On
the other is the so-called "new course" or right
wing representing a softer line. At the mo-
ment, the hard-line revolutionary Commu-
nists of the left seem to be winning, but the
issue is not finally decided..
FOR WESTERN OBSERVERS in Europe, the
satellites represent a convenient mirror for
what goes on inside the Soviet Union. The mir-
ror seems to show:
1. The whole terror apparatus constructed
over the postwar years of Stalinism in the sat-
ellites has been disrupted.
2. Political indecision at highest levels has
been induced by uncertainty over the outcome
in Moscow.
3. Agriculture, the cancer tumor of the Com-
munist world, is in a state of near anarchy.
The chaos was aggravated by the fact that
under Malenkov, brief concessions were made to
the farmers. The concessions cannot be yanked
back too suddenly. But gradually and cautious-
ly, the hard-line leadership is beginning to pull
the reins.

T HE DOMINANT TREND in the
student art exhibit at the
Alumni Memorial Hall galleries
is toward abstraction and non-ob-
j ectivity.
Some works are excellent, but
there are some that just fall fiat
on their "formal-values."
Ann Thuma's composition of
black, red and white free forms is
most impressive. Black forms
twist and writhe as though some
pristine mammal in the throes of
death. Contrasts of black and
scumbled white project the com-
position in and out of the picture
plane giving it dynamic move-
ment.
*
A STUDY OF four nudes by
William A. McIntyre is particu-
larly appealing because of use of
the palette knife to achieve inter-
esting textures. In a somber type


Little Man On Campus

By Bibler

of expressionism, McIntyre has
created a mood of contemplation
and accentuation of the intellect.
Of Florence I. Wilkins' three
works, her small, horizontally ori-
ented work is most worthy°. Un-
mitigated conflicts and tensions
make for a dynamic composition
in which texture plays an impor-
tant role. ,
Water colors of note include
D o n a 1 d Matheson's arabesque
works with their rich texture and
oriental magnificence.
* * *
GEORGE BEAUCHAMP uses
the gauche medium well to con-
struct a vertically oriented, eco-
nomical design. To mitigate the
omnipresent verticals he works in
zig-zag lines. Color is used boldly
and the artist shows command of
his medium.
Rather appealing are the wash-
es broken by exciting lines which
delineate the planes of David
Rohn's composition. Try squinting
at this picture for fuller appreci-
ation.
Most viewers will enjoy the use
of chiaroscuro in the drawing di-
vision. Among the best is James
Tucker's "Descent from the Cross"
with its subtle gradations and in-
teresting contours, It is a highly
intellectual piece of work in the
abstract idiom. The picture plane
is well filled and the form of the
background created by the con-
tours of the figures is well thought
out.
* * *
THOMAS WELTON'S PIECE of
"sculpturesque" sculpture uses in-
tersecting, spheres and cylinders
to compose a work with tactile
feeling. The swells and ebbs seem
to come from within creating a
good deal of empathy.
The crocidile of Harry Mac Cal-
lum's is iron work which shows the
functional use of the medium con-
