THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1937 r _. On The Level By WRAG PHIL PACK, well-liked publicity manager for the Michigan Athletic Association, told this one on himself the other day. It seems that in his early law practice, Phil took a case for a farmer who was having a bit of a tiff with his landlord. In his usual suave manner, Philip fixed it up in favor of the farmer. His cultivating client, cashless on the receipt of a $50 bill, finally settled it all by giving Phil a healthy little calf that seemed to be worth the money. It was O.K. by Phil, who had young visions of cleaning up in the law business and retiring to a farm before his calf was too old. Came winter. Came spring. Came the farmer with a bill of $62 for the five months' feeding of Phil's unclaimed calf. Phil settled by return- ing the calf to the farmer along with a ten and two crisp ones. A PRETTY YOUNG THING is waiting table at one of the downtown restau- rants. She claims to be a member of the Ohio State chapter of one of our more pro- minent sororities. Because she wore no pin, and used an occasional phrase like "Ain't that grand," her date decided to check her story the other night. "Say, how's the Phi Bete house down at Ohio State?" straightfaced her date. "Oh, they have a lovely house and a swell bunch of boys. I've dated several of them," came back the girl, as she nonchalantly lit a cigarette. This fact would no doubt startle some of the Ohio State Phi Beta Kappas. * * * * WE HATE TO MENTION the unfortunate ex- poits of Lu Kentfield again, but his peculiar experience of Monday night cannot long go silent. After being purposely lost in the Ar- boretum, and being chased by a farmer for un- knowingly hitting cows with a .22, and living through other evenings that have been widely laughed at, he topped them all Monday night. Coming back from Alpha Phi's country home via the dark back streets, Lu was approached by a young lady who was hurrying in the direction of Ypsi. "Pardon me," she said, "Is this the right direction to get me downtown?" Lu knows practically nothing of the map or Ann Arbor, but he told her that he thought she was going in the wrong direction, and volunteered to guide her to State and Liberty. All went well until they got to the League. At that point a Packard car pulled up alongside, and two men got out. They started to wrestle with the young lady Lu was escorting, and tried to force her into their automobile. The girl shied and cried, so Lu bravely pointed a trem- bling finger at the two ruffians and told them to scram. To his relief and surprise, the two fellows promptly returned to their car muttering puzzled expressions under their breath. It turned out that the girl had jumped out of the Pack- ard in the country somewhere, and was in the process of walking home when she met Lucius. Buoyed by his conquest of the men in the car, Lu then walked her all the way home to further protect her from the men who were slowly trail- ing them in the car. On her safe arrival home, the girl told him that she was working for an Ann Arbor radio company, and she was going to get him a radio for having protected her so bravely from the two ruffians. Lu told her that it was really nothing, shaking- ly hailed a cab, and raced home looking nerv- ously out of the back window all the way. Once inside his fraternity house, Lu ran up to his room, opened a drawer, and pulled out a four- inch Bowie knife. "That," sighed Lu, "Is what I shall wear on my belt for every date I have from now on!" By TOM McCANN WEDNESDAY-Tonight at 7:15, Mrs. Frank- lin D.

These will come over NBC a little later in the evening. * * * * THURSDAY-Today is a pretty stock day for you radio listeners. Alexander Woollcott, Lum and Abner, Boake Carter, Jack Armstrong and stuff will have to fill in until 10 when Bing Crosby, Bob Burns, Jimmy Dorsey and the rest of the Music Hall gang comes on over NBC. * * * * FRIDAY-Tonight at 8:30, Alice Faye joins up with Hal Kemp to add a little dash of some- thing or other to the Chesterfield show over CBS. At 9 little Frances Langford will do some shout- ing for soup on the Hollywood Hotel program over CBS and we'll have another taste of swing at 10 in the Tommy Dorsey style. We Like Ice Cream (From The Chicago Daily News) BE IT EVER SO SLOPPY there's no dish like ice cream. No matter to what far clime the American may voyage he takes with him the memory and desire of this most indigenous of As Others See It Nazism Vs. Religion (From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) R ECENT STRAWS in the wind indicate that the Nazis' ruthless war on religion is about to reach a climax on all its various fronts. The Rev. Martin Niemoeller, foremost protestant op- ponent of Nazi church policy, has at length been arrested, along with several hundred other pas- tors. On the Catholic front, the Nazis have closed 966 parochial schools in Bavaria and ended control of these institutions by the church after more than 12 centuries. The spectacular im- morality trials, organized by the Propaganda Ministry to discredit the church, are to be re- sumed soon on a larger scale than before. Dis- solution of the concordat with the Vatican is momentarily expected. Nazi-ism is meeting far more opposition in its efforts to dominate the churches than in any other field it has attacked. Its swift strokes have won control of countless institutions and activities, with little or no opposition, but the attempt to dictate worship and spiritual beliefs has roused leaders of all denominaions to heroic resistance. It cannot be said that the religious war will unseat the Nazi regime, but its continu- ance will create bitterness and resistance that must react against its stability, and that will make meaningless Hitler's boast of ruling a united nation. The great majority of church members accept Naziism on virtually every other point. They are loyal Germans who would follow Hitler faith- fully on his nationalistic policies. Then why do the Nazis deliberately alienate the churches' sup- port? There are two reasons: the "boss complex" that is an inseparable part of the German dic- tatorship, and the desire to give the nation a new religion, National Socialism, in place of the ancient faiths. It is no mere figure of speech that the goal is to supplant the cross with the swastika. The deification of Hitler is a part of this process. As an example of how far it has proceeded, consider the following extract from a decision on one phase of the anti-Catholic drive by the Brunswick Court of Appeals: "The Fuehrer is an envoy whom God has charged with a great mission for his people and for the world. It is therefore the duty of the church not to oppose but to obey the will of God of which the Fuehrer is the expression. Particularly bitter is the warfare being waged on the Catholic church, Catholic schools and youth organizations are recognized by the con- cordat signed in 1933, but the youth groups have now been outlawed, and schools are being seized, so taht all children may be trained exclusively in Naziism. From this, it is obviously only a step to seizure of church property. The charges of vicious immorality in church institutions have been widely publicized. How- ever, the great majority of alleged offenders are not priests or .teachers, but lay brothers, unem- ployed derelicts taken in by the monasteries during the depression, who took no vows and do menial labor around church institutions. For the offenses of a few of these, the entire church is being held up as a monster of immorality in Germany. No longer ago than last December, Hitler or- dered an end to the attacks upon the Protestant dissenting groups, and promised elections in which members were to have free choice of lead- ership. It is obvious now, however, that the promise will not be kept, that whatever elections are held will be conducted under pressure. Prison, concentration camps and even death have been the fate of opponents, but this has not deterred the leaders of the faith, and no signs of surrender are visible. The Nazi government has one powerful hold on its church opposition, its control of the purse- strings, use of which was hinted a few days ago by threat to withhold funds from dissident groups. When the German Republic was estab- lished in 1918, it was proposed to separate church and state, as in most other progressive democ- racies, but the churches feared loss of govern- ment revenues, and the change was not made. The churches thus place themselves in the hands of whatever regime is in power, an experience that has so often been repeated in the world's history, and the battle for religious freedom thus is materially handicapped before it begins. Official endorsement of the Neo-Pagan cult, with the old Teutonic deities and the most in- tense nationalism as its deities, shows unmistak- ably the government's intention to supplant the people's ancient faith with a heathen cult. The conflidt in Germany thus differs from the strife between creeds in the Middle Ages. What is being waged there is a war between paganism and faith, between regimentation and religious freedom, between Caesar and God.t) T HE S C REE N) AT THE MICHIGAN "MOUNTAIN MUSIC" Bob Burns, the Romeo of the Arkansas bad lands, and Martha Raye, his hillbilly dream girl, are back together again with another string of hilarities of the more rough and ready type, this time with the familiar whiskers-and-shotgun Ozark mountaineers assisting. Bob is the scion of the Burnsides, who have patched up their feud with the Shepherdsons in favor of a marriage alliance which the unro- mantically-inclined Bob breaks up by running away on his mule, which, by the way, turns in a sterling character portrayal and steals most of the scenes he (or she?) appears in.
