Army's Newest
Plaything...
T IS WITH great anticipation that
we yesterday saw that the Army
Air Corps had announced development of a new
plaything with which to kill a little more effi-
ciently and a little more quickly.
The new toy is a two-motored "pusher" type of
monoplane to carry a crew of five, six machine
guns, light bombs and which has an altitude
range from hedge tops to the sub-stratosphere,
30,000 feet. Of course some of the other advan-
tages of the plane, which will probably add to its
effectiveness in wiping out human life, remain
military secrets.
No doubt the company which has manufac-
tured the new plane, which claim for it the de-
structiveness of the big bomber, the speed of
pursuit ships, and the maneuverability of the
attack plane( making it the acme for wholesale
murder) will clear another million or so when
the war breaks out.
Oddly enough, the new plane will probably be
used solely for defense against other giant bomb-
ing planes being built by many nations.
Incidentally, the new plane is expected to have
a big influence on civil aviation development, ac-
cpxding to army authorities.
Roosevelt's
labor Poicy .. .
THE RECENT OUTBURSTS of two
members of President Roosevelt's
cabinet-Secretaries Perkins and Roper-criti-
cizing sit-down strikes and declaring that the
American public would "not patiently forbear
unnecessary strife and disturbance" can hardly
be interpreted as the official administration atti-
tude.
What is the President's official attitude on the
question? No one seems to know. Undoubtedly
Mr. Roosevelt is sincerely endeavoring to bring
about better conditions for the American work-
ingman, he is aiding wisely the organization of
labor, the granting of collective bargaining rights,
and consequent progression in hours and wages.
Yes, undoubtedly Mr. Roosevelt is endeavoring
to bring all this about, but as yet the means
which he intends to employ have not been made
clear to us, for the simple reason, we think, that
Mr. Roosevelt has not decided uponathe precise
means as yet, but chooses to wait and feel his
way toward a long-time policy.
The sudden and effective protests of labor dur-
ing the last year and a half have created an
acute struggle with both belligerents taking
an unalterable stand. To rush in quickly with
an unbending policy toward the whole question
could easily plunge the country into catastrophe,
whereas to chide both sides with a "plague-on-
both-your-houses" attitude may postpone the
issue until an amicable settlement can be reached.
.In recent statements to congressional leaders
Mr. Roosevelt has indicated that an adequate
labor policy may take anywhere from three to ten
years to formulate. As immediate relief he sug-
gests temporary hours and wage legislation by
Congress that will anticipate a long-time policy.
While it is true that John L. Lewis and organized
labor do not look with particular favor upon the
present labor legislation pending in Congress
there seems to be no definite movement under
foot for a break between the administration and
labor.
At any rate, we believe there are few men who
could have maintained the well-balanced atti-
tude, the soft-spoken criticism of both sides and
withstood the repeated exhortations of an im-
patient and suddenly responsive Congress that
"-m+thinr h crne-"'

Newspapers And Liberalism
To the Editor:
You write about newspapers. That's a fine
idea--and very timely. Do you know that news-
papers have become "big business in their own
right" and that consequently they, together
with other reactionary forces, are opposing the
New Deal just as they opposed, 80 per cent of
them, the re-election of Mr. Roosevelt, the great
American who wants to usher in a more genuine
democracy than we are having now? In this con-
nection I refer you to an editorial in "The New
Republic" for July 14, 1937: "The Cassandra
Racket." In said editorial references is made to
a number of daily newspapers commentators on
public affairs: Dorothy Thompson, Walter Lipp-
man, Mark Sullivan, David Lawrence, Frank
Kent and their imitators. I quote a few items
from the editorial regarding the commentators
mentioned:
"Nearly all of them are opposed, almost all
the time to Mr. Roosevelt's policies . . . Perhaps
the most striking single fact about the members
of this group is that all of them were once
markedly progressive in their views, and made
their reputations as spokesmen for the new
order.
"I do not doubt that most of these individuals
consider themselves progressives, despite the
nearly unanimous opposite judgment of everyone
else whose opinion should carry weight.
"Though they talk as if they were arguing for
one policy against another, nearly always it turns
out in fact that what they really want-and
certainly, what the country would get if their
recommendations were prevailing-is the main-
tenance of the status quo. They remind me of
the group which might be called the "Free
Speech, But . . ." school, which on every issue
involving suppression of a minority invariably
begins by saying that they are in general the
warmest supporters of freedom of utterance, that
it is only in this particular case they feel there
is a Higher Good that takes preference..
"They believe in the will of the democratic
majority as the final authority; and they talk
about this in season and out until the time
when it becomes clear that the Supreme Cour
is determined to thwart the will of the majority
and a proposal is made to alter the number of
justices on the bench to break the deadlock. At
'that point, they suddenly go over to the other
side . . . They omit to mention that the principle
of collective bargaining is accepted almost
throughout British industry . . . they neglect to
say that a pian like Tom Girdler would be as
unthinkable in Great Britain as would be the
cold blooded massacre in South Chicago . . . It is
intellectual dishonesty for those who are in a
position to know better to compare Roosevelt's
aims and philosophy with the aims and philos-
ophy of a Hitler of a Mussolini."
President Roosevelt is not fighting God. He
is fighting the reactionary.
-M. Levi.
More Serious 'Mu'
To the Editor:
I read The Michigan Daily because I like to get
the adolescent point of view. I do think, how-
ever, that it was beneath the scope and dignity
of The Daily to print the preadolescent wailings
against the School of Education of one who ob-
viously failed to impress the members of the
department in several courses.
This is especially true when a recent discovery
indicates that there is much more serious and'
important "mud" which needs to be "slung" on
the campus.
Recent data, subjective in nature, obtained by
a dean, who modestly withholds his name lest
he be considered effusive, points dramatically
to the fact that all is not well with the entire
program of the University. The University offers
little or nothing, apparently, to meet the needs
and fulfill the hopes and desires of a large
and specific group of students. Tact prevents
me from naming the group to which reference
is made but the discerning will be able to dis-
cover it in completing this article.
The scientifically minded dean was trying by
theaquestionnaire methodto determine for what
great purpose women attended the University.
One response is indicative of far, far too many
of them: Quote: "I came to be went with, but I
ain't yet."
What has the University done to remedy this
miserable condition? Absolutely nothing.

THE SCR'EN)
AT THE MICHIGAN
A DAY AT THE RACES
This may not be the Marx Brothers' funniest
film, but it is at least in a dead heat with the
funniest.
There is practically no deviation from the
tactics and formula which have proved successful
in previous Marxian hits. There is a rich society
woman, a blonde menace, a villain or two, a
pretty heroine, a handsome hero and the Marxes
doing their clowning on the side of young love.
The flimsy plot has to do with a sanitarium
owned by Maureen O'Sullivan and headed by
Groucho in the person of Dr. Hackenbush, a
horse doctor oosing as a leading physician. The
On The Level
By WRAG
JOHNNY SMITHERS is quickly learning to
walk again. The Michigan football star has
been over at the University Hospital for a long
time recuperating from a leg operation, but last
week the cast came off for the first time and
now he is reacquiring the knack of toddling.
By the looks of his cast, Johnny has been any-
thing but lonely during his confinement. His
many friends have autographed the cast in so
many places that there is hardly room for an-
other signature. There are all kinds of drawings
and sayings on the cast, but the one that stands
out in our mind is the one affixed by Marlowe
Shaw, an old high school teammate, of Johnny's.
Right at the- knee bend, Marlowe has written,
"Just hanging around another joint," and he
drew a little picture above it to go with the gag.
Everybody is pretty certain that Johnny's leg is
going to be in perfect shape by the time pig-skin
season rolls around, but just as many people got
a lump in their respective throats when they read
the article pertaining to him in The Daily the
other day. That Old Man Scholarship finally
tackled one of the very few Michigan footballers
who could keep going after the customary line
plunges, was a pretty hard blow. But we've all
got our fingers crossed in hopes that something
may turn up, and that his lkPped for eligibility
will not be a mere wish.

MUSIC
By TOM McCANN
In a recent issue of The Daily, Mr. E. T. Erick-
son gave this department a very severe scolding
for not including some of the classical releases
of the past month. Really, we suppose, the fault
was ours because, after all, the heading of the
column was "Records," and the connotation of
Mr. Erickson was probably one of recordings in
general. Now if this were the case, our most
humble apologies are extended. We don't want
to have to get out our musical blades, and come
to swords points, nor do we want to have it out
with Mr. Erickson with Benny Goodman records
at fifty paces. All we want to do is to go on
enjoying swing, sweet and other jazz variations
just as Mr. Erickson, we hope, will go on enjoying
his symphonies. This argument over popular
jazz and classical music is fun, but then it is so
futile.
In the light of all that has happened, it would
probably be better if we said nothing at all
about the Mills Blue Rhythm Band and its re-
cordings of "Prelude To a Stomp" and Tommy
