Open Letter
To Senator Tydings.

0 0

Dear Senator:
S ENATORS and editorial writers
should be rather careful of their
public statements, for now and then some yokel
might take them seriously. For instance, in your
recent blast -at the Bureau of theBudiet you
betray colossal ignorance of economics, political
science and just plain horse sense.
Deficit spending will not, as you prognosticate,
"lead only to the financial debacle of the Federal
Government." As long as the government can
pay the interest on the national debt there is
no need for even the Republicans to worry about
default -unless we have a runaway inflation.
Deficit speiding in times of low business activity
is likely to be quite beneficial in spite of you.
When the state spends more than it receives,
the only result is to increase the incomes and
expenditure of everybody. Then with a higher
level of national income there will be more net
savings on the part of society as a whole. In
fact, this net addition to savings by the popula-
tion will exactly equal thesadditional expenditure
by the state.
ON THE OTHER HAND, if the government
should pay as it goes it would only mean
transfering income from one pocket to the other.
But when it borrows money in slack times it
draws on idle savings which would not other-
wise be utilized. Private business has to have
profit prospects before it is willing to expand its
investments, but governments are not burdened
with such narrow concerns. They can spend
when it \vill best aid the economic condition of
the country. Increased incomes caused by state
expenditure will bring in more taxes, and so, in
effect, about half of what the state borrows will
be returned to it in the form of increased reve-
nues. Thus, the state is in a much better posi-
tion to expand investment in bad times than
are private interests.
Thousands of Budget employes, you go on
to complain, are engaged in ,.'the alleviation
of conditions not now existing, such as unem-
ployment, depressed prices, and curtailed
credit." Come, come, Senator, you surely don't
suppose that the only time to worry about
unemployment is when we have 1G million on
the relief rolls. If we should follow your ad-
vice, progress towards a higher standard of
living and stable working conditions would be
very slow, to put. it mildly. For the first time
in our history our government is looking ahead
in an attempt to head off another disastous
kdepression with its waste and untold suffer-
ing.
ANOTHER one of your six points for reorgan-
ization of the Budget Bureau is that it be
transferred to the control of Congress. The ex-
ecutive branch of any state is always held re-
sponsible for the fiscal policy, so what you pro-
pose is that Congress do the dirty work of spend-
ing too much money while the President takes
the blame for it. Fine stuff. The executive
branch would have absolutely no power to en-
force the laws of the country if it had no con-
trol over the purse-strings. Witness the emascu-
lation of price control enforcement by the with-
holding of funds on the part of an obdurate
Congress.
Too many congressmen of your type are so
worried by large government expenditures that
yo verlook 1A1Cthew r f the populace. Your

WASHINGTON - Privately, Justice Depart-
ment officials are getting more and more irked
with the seven old generals sitting in judgment
on the eight Nazi saboteurs. Due to their dila-
tory tactics, Justice Department officials say,
the trial dragged on longer han ayOne expected.
' This is due to the fact that some of the gen--
erals haven't had any active law experience for
years, almost never cross-examined a witness in
their lives. The trial is featured by such tedious
cross-examination that it almost puts other per-
sons in the court room to sleep. Hours and hours
also have been consumed in reading lengthy
records.
At first the Justice Department sympathized
DRAMA'
Webster defines hay fever as something irri-
tating to the eyes, nose and throat. He is two-
thirds right. Personally, we like Noel Coward's
definition much better . . . a happy, jolly, utterly
nonsensical farce. Noah was right about the
eyes. It is utterly impossible to sit through the
three-act farde currently on display at the Lydia
Mendelssohn and not have the eyes thrown for
a loss. The throat will be sore from nearty
laughter, but the nose will come away completely
unaffected.
The first effect en my eyes was the sight of
aMiss Eleanor Hughes bare knees. From the sixth
row on the aisle they looked very poor. Perhaps
it was the tennis dress, or maybe she just has
bad knees. In any event, we forgot all about
c that when Miss Hughes appeared in a very
fetching dinner dress in the second act. Believe
us ... she DOES have what it takes. As a mat-
ter of fact, this young lady does a very fine job
when she settles down to being ail actress and
forgets that there is an audience watching her.
That may sound like a paradox, but we mean it
4n all seriousness.
The play is one of the most delightful that
Noel Coward has done. He employs all the
sophistication for which he is noted, yet retains
-the very human touches which have endeared
him to all theatre-goers of our time.
There is one statement that we can make
without fear of contradiction: Miss Nancy Bow-
man walks off with the whole play. She is abso-
lutely superb in every movement . . . every word
. ..every gesture. One of the toughest jobs in
show business is to sing in a dramatic produc-
tion with very little accompaniment and no
stmulation. Miss Bowman has a very good voice
and best of all.. . she isn't a bit afraid to use it.
1enever she is on the stage, La Bowman de-
mands and receives the attention which her
performange so richly deserves:
Helen Rhodes does a very acceptable job in
her role. She seems infinitely more at home
here than in a period production. Quite the con-
trary is true of Mr. Jim Bob Stephenson, who
seems to have a complete lack of timing. This
does not mean that he is anxious to get back into
things. He cuts his own lines with the same
abandon as he does those of the other players.
Paul Johnson as Sandy Tyrell, John Babington
as Richard Greatham, Dorothy Chamberlain as
Jackie Coryton, Richard Strain as David Bliss,
and Fawn Adkins as Clara round out the cast.
Miss Adkins does her best with a part obviously
not suited to her talents, and the others men-
tioned are acceptable in their roles.
We have never been trained to appreciate
Rousseau as interpreted by a Broadway designer
of scenery. Possibly this is the reason that we
were more than a trifle startled if not distracted
by the background effects. It stretches the imag-
ination of even a pseudo-romanticist.
The staging and direction leave little to be
desired. Mr. Windt has done, we believe, a very
outstanding interpretation in his direction. Miss
Barton's costume effects are very fine also, par-
ticularly in the case of Miss Rhodes. Our only
objection here is, as mentioned above, that
damnably short tennis dress which Miss Hughes
displays in Act. I.
We had a grand evening laughing our heads
off, as did the rest of the first night audience.
"Hay Fever" is an extraordinarily funny play,
and the actors do a grand job of making it just
that much funnier. - Frederic A. Anderson

Ford Or Nelson:
Give Us The Truth. .
THERE'S a copperhead in the stock-
pile at Willow Run.
Yesterday a National Housing Authority rep-
resentative announced that because the Ford
bomber plant was running short of materials,
the plant could not be expanded, and that there-
fore 'bomber city' would be curtailed.
It sounds like a phony to us.
After all, the bomber plant is engaged in pro-
ducing one of the two commodities this country
needs most, airplanes and ships. If it can't get
materials, it must be that nobody can, and that
means disaster is upon us, which in turn means
there is a lot being kept from us.
NOW this claim of a shortage is so far strictly
on Ford authority; wecan't be too sure of
its validity. If he is merely attempting to de-
ceive housing officials it's another black mark

with the War Department's idea of secrecy, be-
cause it thought information might be disclosed
which would lead to detection of other spies.
But now, Justice officials are inclined to think
that the retired generals wanted secrecy so no
one could see how rusty they were on law.
Instead of this cumbersome process, Justice
officials say it would have been far better to have
subjected the eight Nazis to a good third degree
conducted by skilled young investigators, and
then shot the saboteurs at sunrise. This will be
the last of these star chamber proceedings if
they can help it:
Note: Since Attorney General Biddle is one of
the prosecutors, he had to remain at the trial
until 6:30 p.m., and then had to conduct all
the Department's affairs' after that. As a result
the Justice Department's work has been tied up
in knots.
it's Up To John
John L. Lewis will have an early opportunity
to demonstrate how farhe's willing to go in
support of the war effort.
The War Production Board is seriously con-
cerned about a coal shortage next winter; feels
the situation will start getting tight about No-
vember unless coal production is increased. And
the only way to increase it is by longer working
hours in the mines.
So Wendell Lund, head of WPB's Labor Divis-
ion, has written to Tom Kennedy, secretary-
treasurer of the United Mine Workers, asking
whether the union would agree to longer hours.
Although the letter went to Kennedy, the real
decision will be made by Lewis. So far there's
been no answer.

It would seem a ridiculous car now, a, big
Cadillac with children's seats that folded up
against the back of the front seat like those you
sometimes see in airport limodsines even today.
It was such a heavy car that I had to stand
up on the front seat and help Dad turn the
steering wheel when we parked. Maybe I wasn't
much help but I remember feeling marvelously
important. That day when we drove through
Detroit, I watched for stop signs and told the
color of the traffic lights.. When we stopped
to make a left turn I asked a policeman the
way to Windsor.
WTE DROVE straight across the southern part
of the state. Roads were not as wide then
as they are now but this one was smooth and
white, and grass, that was sometimes mowed,
grew right up to the edge. It was summer and
everything was green except the villages and
they were white. I haven't seen a white village
in a long time now. Little towns have started
being red and green and the town lawyer's
house seems to be always dull brown these days.
I don't remember any outskirts at all to De-
troit then. We just came up a wide boulevard
and'there were houses I remember but a lot of
them were alike and at the end was the Fisher
tower. First there was a fountain with theaters
around it and then there was the tower. That's
nearly all I remember. Everything seemed so
neat, just as it should be. We drove all the way
in with the tower in front of us and then we
drove around it, on out to the Ferry that took
us to Windsor.
But first we stopped at a big store that was
lined with mirrors where they sold only ginger-
ale. There were lots of people there and every-
one was drinking ginger-ale. Ever since, when
I've had ginger-ale, I've thought of the store
with the mirrors.
I'd never been on a Ferry before and I asked
Dad why it was called a ferry. He told me it
was because a river ferry lived in the boat and
I laughed at him for being so grown up and be-
lieving in Ferries but when I came back to the
car and found a box of candy from the Ferry,
I believed him.
LAST SATURDAY I went into Detrpit again.
Not very many people believe me but I've
lived in Ann Arbor for nearly three years and
had never before gone into Detroit. I didn't
have any reason for going this time. There were
just things I remembered that I wanted to see.
I guess, I just planned to walk around.
This time I went in a bus, through a Saturday
Ypsi, past an Insane Aslyum, and on into De-
troit. At first there were factories and rows of
cheap liquor stores. I seemed to be coming into
the city on an angle and not once, until I was
down town, did I see the Fisher tower. When
I finally found it, it was much lower than I
remembered it and cut off by a circle of shorter
buildings.
From the first I was hopelessly lost. I found
the fountain but the row of theaters around it
had spread out into the side streets.
I SPENT most of the day walking through de-
partment stores that were cool, cold really,
and coming out onto the street where it was hot.
I had determined to buy something, I don't
know exactly what, a present for someone I
