EATING AGAIN:
Ann Arbor Restaurant
Workers Loaf on Jobs
CLAMPING DOWN on Ann Arbor restaurant
owners violating OPA regulations hasn't al-
leviated the eating situation yet for a large num-
ber of students,
Added to the brunt students are bearing in.
trying to cope With excessive food prices is the
intolerable, iriexcusable service offered by local
restaurant workers.
Waiting for a half hour for an order to be
taken and equally long for the fodd to be
iervel cannot all be blaied on t he number of
pedple "eating out."
Much of the delay is caused by the inefficient,
don't-care attitude of those serving in eating
places. Whether or riot restaurant workers feel
secure in their jobs because of the scarcity of
labor, there is no legitiiate excuse why that job
should not be done at precisely the same speed
and efficiency as workers in defense plants, sol-
diers on the fighting fronts, and all others em-
ployed in war industries.
FOOD is as important in winning the war as
ammunition, although Ann Arbor restaurant
workers don't seem to realize this fact. Workers
rushing to jobs must be able to get a meal in a
reasonable amount of time. Students need
speedy service to reach classes on time and to
eliminate the hours wasted each day insecuring
a" meal.
Much of the valuable time wasted within- the
doors of restaurants and drug stores could be
spent in studying or in turning out a few more
dhells, guns, and vital war materials. But Ann
Arbor restaurant workers apparently feel it is
more important to relax on the job. They have
no apparent sense of guilt when each day many
leave eating places unserved to try their luck
somewhere else.
Does securing a meal have to be a matter of'
luck in Ann Arbor? The answer deends on
whether or not local- help will get on the job.

THE FIRST:
Georgia Leads Battle To
Give 18-Year-Olds 'Vote
IFMST IN PEACHES, first in watermelons,
first to give the vote to 1-year-olds."
Georgia can add this boast to the inscription
on its Great Seal if it wishes. The Cracker State
is the first in the American Union to lower the
voting age which has never before been altered
anywhere in the United States since the days of
the' Colonies.
There is nothing sacred about 21 a s the age
of majority. It is fixed by common law for
male maturity, but some states fix 18 as- the
age for women. Some states even say a minor
has reached an age of sufficient discretion to
select his own guardian at 14. And Mrs.
Roosevelt says, "If they're old enough to fight,
they're old enough to vote."
Great Britain's voting age is 21, but in the last
War Parliament gave the vote to members of the
armed services at 19. In Japan none may vote
under 25, but in Russia all vote at 18.

WA IINGTON, Aug. 13.- If the Boren Com-
mittee really wants to dig below the surface in
the newsprint situation, it might probe the lush
bonuses paid by the International Paper Co. to
its execu'tives.
At a time when the paper cartel has been
gouging publidhers for higher prices and throt-
tling newspapers by supplying less paper, it has
also been paying juicy sums to International
Paper officials.
Since 193#, lAternational Paper has not paid
a penny in dividends on its common stock.
Yet at the same time 1nternational 1Paper has
paid annual salaries of $412,250 to six of its
officials. Thr in addition to these salaries,
the samne officials got bonuses of $112,500.
President .ichard J. Cullen received a salary
of $102,000 plus an additional $50,000 paid eyery
year toward a retirement fund.
The Vice-President, W. N. Hurlbut, gets a
salary of $41,600 and in addition a retirement
benefit of $10,000 annually. Also, Hurlbut has
borrowed $25,893 from the company. There
is nothing illegal about this, though borrowing
by officials from their company is a special
privilege and constitutes an additional burden
on the company's financial position.
in addition to its officers and directors, Inter-
national Paper also paid 14 other employees
total salaries of $383,900.
Isolationist Cupid
The nuptial rumor that the Chicago Tribune's
Col. Robert R. McCormick was going to wed Mrs.
Helen Essary, widow of the Baltimore Sun cor-
respondent, was told to the President recently
by one of his aides.
Both Col. McCormick and Mrs. Essary are
ardent isolationists and vigorous critics of the
Administration. In fact the Colonel is con-
sidered the leading isolationist of the midwest,
if not the nation, while the Widow Essary,
writing in the Washington Times-Herald, is
probaby the leading lady isolationist in the
nation's calital,:
So the President received word of this isola-
tionist romance' with considerable interest.
" wonder," he mused, "what their progeny
Will be like.
Note-Later, Mrs. Essary heard about the
President's' remark and telephoned one of the
White House aides to find out precisely what had
been said. She did not comment as to whether
the rumor of matrimony were true or untrue,
but she showed great feminine curiosity regard-
ing- the President's comment.
Intside Europe
Swiss Minister Charles Bruggman, brother-
inlaw of Henry Wallace, is probably the only
man in the United States who has recently
passed through Germany.
He not only visited Germany, but also
France and Spain. In France he found the
people downcast and downhearted. German
soldiers on the streets of ]Paris Went' out of
their way to be polite to the French people,
even got off the sidewalks if necessary in def-
erence to- a Frenchman. The Germans have
played their cards cleverly to try to avoid
FVench resentment.
In Germany the women wore black, but no
siiles.. Many Germans, Minister Bruggmann
found, would rather submit to a British-Anieri-
can occupation than one by the Russians. High-

er-class Germans fear the Russians tremendous-
ly. On the other hand, it is suspected in some
quarters that certain German groups might
make a deal with the Russians to run Europe
together.
There is more food in Germany, Minister
Bruggmann found, than in France. In Paris
he paid $40 for a meal for two people, and not
an elaborate meal at that.
Spain is in better shape economically than at
any time in some years; and seems to have re-
covered from the effects of its civil War.
Capital Chaff
The President has told close advisers that he
would not oppose a "constitutional monarchy"
in Italy as long as it was a genuine one and per-
mitted democratic processes to function as in
England . . . Folks in Kentucky are puzzled over
the mysterious "poor health" of Congressman
Virgil Chapman who is laid up in a hospital in
Versailles, Ky., assertedly for injuries received
when he stumbled while answering a telephone
in the dark. This is the third time Virgil has
retired to the hospital, usually registering under
the name of "Henry Miller." Down in Ken-
tucky, folks say: "Virgil sure must have a lot of
accidents."
Night vs. Day bombing
When Churchill and Roosevelt were in Casa-
blanca, the British Prime Minister had a friendly
argument with U.S. air generals regarding the
feasibility of daylight bombing. Churchill was
against it, arguing that the British system of
night bombing was much safer, did more damage
to the enemy.
However, latest figures just received by the
War Denartment show that Gen. Ira Eaker
was right in sticking to day bombing. These
figures show that U.S. bombers have knocked
out Nazi fighter planes at a rate ten times
greater than the British.
Here are the figures: In July U.S. airmen de-
stroyed 500 Axis planes, lost 108 bombers of
their own. In other words we knocked out five
times as many planes as we lost.
In the same months, the British 'knoeked' diet
129 enemy planes, but lost 258 of their own.
In other words, the British lost two planes for
every one they knocked out.
The British were operating at night when they
could not see the enemy so well, but also when
the enemy could not see them. American planes,
operating in the daylight, could better concen-
trate on enemy fighter planes, but also were
better targets for the enemy.
Senator from South Carolina
When South Carolina's Senator Burnet May-
bank voted against the Administration recently,
Welter Brown, in Justice Byrnes 'Office, mailed
Maybank a copy of one of his compaign circulars.
In it Maybank had vowed that he would suppdrft
the President under all circumstances, come
what may. Under this pledge, Brown scribbled
"Lest we forget, lest we forget," and mailed it to
the Senator . . . When the Coast Guard Cutter
"Escanaba" was sunk in in the North Atlantic
in June, press reports said that 58 out of her
60 men were lost. It was true that only two
survived, but the loss was heavier; since 60 is
her peace time complement, and she carries
many more men in war time . . . The two Es-
canaba survivors are on a tour of war plants.

I' '1
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.- It is very
odd, but the same Americans who
consider gasoline rationing ah out-
rageus violation of free men's liber-
ties, are of the opinioris that Italians
ought not to make very much fuss
about their future government.
Which. section of the American
press was most afraid that recent
talian demonstrations for peace
and freedom were dangerously
cnmunistic manifestations?
Why, it was the same sectiori of
our .press which is always putting
on amazing manifestations of its
own on behalf of what it regards
as its freedom.
The Hearst press, which can jump,
sitting, eight feet out of its chair in
shocked reaction to a single price
control order, has taken the lead in
expressing outrage that the Italian
people refuse to sit still, but are in
motion.
Some people seem to want the
Italians to be meeker in the presence
of Badoglio, the Duke of - Addis
Ababa, than they themselves are in
the presence of Mr. Roosevelt.
One impressively isolationist
tabloid, which has published a
horrified full - length editorial
against the "bureaucratic and un-
American" requirement that you
can't get a new tube of toothpaste
without turning in an empty, an-
alyzed the recent Italian outbreaks
as sheer radicalism, in technicolor.
Those who won't put up with any-
thing sometimes seem to think the
Italians ought to put up with every-
thing. The professionals of discon-
tent with government here at home
seem most to dread popular discon-
tent with government abroad.
Those who consider the O.W.I.
(and almost every other American
government agency) to be moronic
were most annoyed with the O.W.I.
for saying that the Italian king was
so. Ihey, who have coined some
honeys in' the way of derogatory ref-
erences to government at home, were
the most bitter about one little word

with regard to one certain litti for-
eign organ of state.
They have, I think sincerely,
built up an entire philosophyabout-
the evil which is inherent in gov-
erinment, about the bureaucratic
touch which kills individual free-
dom.x
But why won't they allow the Ital-
ian people the same right to be sore
about having been dragged frivol-
ously ,into a deadly war, as they'
themselves are sore about, say, the
value of an "A" card?
Surely it is harder to have to put
up with Pietro, the Duke of Addis
Ababa, and the Germans, than it is
to put up with even a roving O.P.A.
pleasure-driving inspector.
Great rsr may be the exaspera-
tions of life in America, which call
forth torrential abuse upon gov-
ernment, I cannot believe that they

approach the exasperations of life
in Italy, where men find them-
selves slaving senselessly to pro-
long a war which makes them die
for nothing.
Yet it is specifically the anti-gov-
ernmental contingent here which
turns pale at anti - governmental
manifestations in Italy.
Why? If government is no good
here, think what it must be there.
Is a certain exaggerated fear of
elementary popular reform i-
volved, which they hate when it
shows up in government here, and
hate also when it seems about to
show up in government over there?
If so, this is mere petulance, and
not a philosophy, and the men who
haye slipped into it deserve a de-
scription I once applied to them.
They are the irreconcilables.

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN

aght from the Shoulder
....y*CHIS...

N A LETTER to The Daily yesterday Jane Far-
rant comes to the amazing conclusion that
since Prof. Slosson knows "infinitely more about
the 'history and policies of Europe than I do" my
last column disagreeing with' hm was unfound-
ed; bitter' and generally senseless; and (follow
this logic) if my statements in that column are
unfounded then, says Jane, all "my columns are
useless and criminal and are not worth.reading."
Nothing about the issues involved mind you!
Just that if a man is supposed to be an expert,
anyone who disagrees with him is an outright
fool, and perhaps even a criminal.
Thus following the ideas expressed in Miss
Farrant's letter to their ultimate conclusion, we
would on every subject bow to the opinions of
the supposedly most well-informed and experi-
enced man about, and that experience and ac-
curacy of, information would be judged on the
number of years that person has supposedly
worked in his field.
Now this may be agood' method to follow in'
the sciences (even there it is an impediment to
inventive' genius), but it cannot be applied to
political thinking and action. For politics are
based'on a bias of certain principles which are,
by no means agreed on by everyone.
An excellent example of how disastrous it can
be for the youth of a nation to follow their ven-
erable leaders' without regard for issues or prin-
ciples is the case, of the German Social Demo-
cratic party. When Hitler was becoming very
powerful in 1932 Communist and some youthful
Socialist trade-unionists wanted to form a coali-
tion to fight Hitler by strikes and armed force.
The venerable Socialist leaders refused to have
anything to do with the Communists, and also
refused to carry out any militant program. As a
result Hitler came-to power-with almost no or-
ganized worker opposition:, The workers had
refused to listen to the "youthful, the 'inexperi-
enced, the uninformed- radicals" in-their organi-

month. All of us were mistaken. Clearly we
should have sided with the Communists, but
we were proud. They ridiculed our leaders
and we stuck to them for they were old fellows
and we respected them. Now, too late, we
know what they are worth. Today there are a
great niany young fellows like myself who
would like to take these old fellows and hang
them without' the least remorse."
yES, THAT GERMAN Social Democrat saw too
late. And he was not alone. For the people
of Britain and France too, placed their faith in
old men, "experienced, reliable, men" like Cham-
berlain and Daladier and Petain. They filled
their Army with old "reliable, experienced men"
who thought that the Maginot line'was France's
impregnable defense.
Any and all opposition was dubbed foolish,
ignorant, and (perhaps that's where Jane Far-
rant discovered the term) criminal. Those who
dared call for change like youthful Gen: De-
Gaulle were demoted and criticized out of ex-
i tence.
Lady with a Hoe
THEY'RE DOWN ON THE FARM this summer
--more than a million and a half of them.
From the potato fields of Aroostook County to
the lettuce farms in the San Joaquin, soldiers of
the Woman's Land Army are digging for victory.
Their noses are shiny, their fingernails un-
manicured, and "Rosie the Riveter" gets all the
headlines-but the home-front ranks would be
as incomplete without them as an Army minus
its infantry.
Crops are as necessary as ships this year, and
nowhere has the Nation's rmanpower shortage
been felt more seriously than on the farms. Both
soldiers and civilians must be fed. Not only the
