The carferry cargoes, averaging about 200 carloads daily of war ma- terials and other freight, had been tied up since Monday night when 35 members of unlicensed personnel went on strike for higher wages. Schmidt to Confer Today Herman Schmidt, superintendent of the Duluth, South Shore and At- lantic Railroad, came here from Mar- quette and conferred with a state labor mediator and representatives of the Seafarers International Union (AFL). On the contention that manage- ment could not grant wage boosts without approval of the War Labor Board, Schmidt was said to be at- tempting to induce the strikers to return to work. He said the matter had been presented to the board and expressed hope the strikers would re- turn to work pending a board deci- sion. Strikers Demand Wage Increases The strikers, who are unlicensed crew members, demanded wage in- creases of about $40 a month to conform with wages paid on lake carriers. A six-month retroactive agreement on the demanded wage i- crease also was reported sought by the strikers. 300 Leatheritecks Receive First Pay It was pay day for approximately 300 Marines as officials doled out the first monthly allotment for the learthernecks stationed in West Quad yesterday. A smile crossed the face of many of the Marines as crisp new bills, less no deductions, were handed them by Marine Gunner W. W. Croyle. From their left-over change leath- ernecks relinquished a 30 cent fee for laundry before leaving the Chicago House "hold." Capt.

OLD VERSUS NEW: Ataturk Molds New Turkey From Land of Dead Tradition- Editor's note: This is the third in a1 series interpreting the Turkey of today. "Old Turkey, the country of Is- lam, of fatalism and dead tradition, was the enemy of the newly formed Turkish Republic in 1923," Orhan Bati, of Turkey, said yesterday. Ataturk's first steps were to set up a democratic form of government with the aid of cabinet members, Bati said. Under this constitution, the governing rights without any ex- ceptions belong to the people. Assembly Chooses President The only representative of the people is the Grand National Assem- bly, in which each member repre- sents 20,000 people, Bati explained. The president is chosen every four years by the members of the assem- bly. "All men and women who have at- tained the age of 18 may vote and all men and women who are 30 or over may be elected to the National Assembly," Bati explained. Ataturk Abolished Khalifet After the government was set up, Ataturk started to improve the other faults of the nation, Bati said. "He soon realized that the Islam Religion -was going to hinder the nation's in- dustrial advancement. Consequently, he abolished the Khalifet and made religion completely separate from the government. "This was just the beginning," Bati said. "Very shortly, Switzer- land's civil code and bankruptcy laws were adapted. From Republican Germany Turkey took over the Com- mercial Code and the penal code of pre-fascist Italy was adapted to Turkish needs." Speaking of the literacy rate in Turkey, Bati pointed out that after the adoption of the Latin alphabet in place of the Arabic alphabet and the establishment of adult schools throughout the country, the illiter- acy rate fell from 80% to 30%. "Universities were established at Istanbul and Ankara," Bati said. "When the Nazis expelled the Jews from Germany, Turkey invited the men of science to teach in her uni- versities and to become Turkish citi- zens if they pleased to do so. "All of these improvements and advancements were not enough to put Turkey in the position she had occupied during the 16th and 17th centuries," Bati added. "Industrial development in the country was still very negligible. It was to this work that Ataturk next turned his atten- tion."

Please Remit with Order to: JOZO SUGIHARA 1775 Xenia St. Denver 7, Colorado "When the war started, we Japan- ese-Americans who were living on the West Coast did not expect to be evac- uated; for we were Americans," Tsune Baba, instructor in Japanese, said in a lecture in the Union last night sponsored by the Inter-Racial Assoc.iation. "My brother and I had a laundry establishment started by my father and my uncle in 1903. Since Decem- ber 1941 business dwindled as we ex- pected, and in April 1941 we had to sell the business," he said. Everything Thrown Away "We were forced to throw away almost everything before the evacu- ation. We were all very disanpointed. We had to live in crowded hostels and barracks in an old race track. Both citizens and non-citizens were put in here. "We tried to brighten the spirits of the youth by education and recrea- tion projects. We encouraged sports and handicraft. We lived here about three months before being sent to re- location centers," Mr. Baba said. "Finally an order .came that we were to be moved inland to central Utah. We were settled in Topaz, Utah. The room in which I lived with my family was 20 by 20. When we first got to the barracks there was dust an inch thick on the floor. Lived in 20 Barracks' "Our place was divided into 20 bar- racks with a common kitchen and a common shower. We all ate in one mess hall. There was an allotment .of $.45 per day per person for food. We worked for between $12 .and $19 a month. "In December 1942, we held our first election. I was made chairman of the community council. The gov- ernment intended to establish both industry and agriculture in Topaz, but in the end only agriculture was established. "When we were finally allowed to leave camp to accept, certain jobs', we felt that we must show our fellow Americans that we are , really loyal and that we can assimilate ourselves if given a chance," he said. Dr. Ewbank Lectures on Propaganda Professor Advocates Decisions Based on Grounds of Reason "Both persuasion and propaganda are based on the same idea that mn. is essentially a non-rational being," Dr. Henry L. Ewbank, professor of speech at the University of Wiscon- sin, said yesterday at the final speech assembly held in the Rackham AM- phitheatre. "Good decisions, however, do not come from emotional appeals, and thus we have a conflict," Dr. Ewbank declared. "What we should try to do is develop a conscience that makes decisions on grounds of reasonable- ness, rather than on emotional 4de- sires." "We are living in an age of prop- ganda," the speech professor said. "To realize this we have only to look at how effectively the Nazis em- ployed propaganda on France so that she lost the war on the psychological front and never really fought it on the military," he added. Propagandists are 'not searehfl for truth, Prof. Ewbank . declared; they believe they already have fpind it and their aim is to bring others to the fold. Today the manipulation of puole opinion has become a big business, Prof. Ewbank said. "But it is just as important to acquire skill in -anly*- ing arguments of others as it i5 tobe able to convince others tt.- your arguments are right," he added. Col, Rounds Will Speak to JAGS Col.
