What Is SOIC
OIC, which stands for Student Organization
for International Cooperation, was form-
ed, as. stated in the constitution. "'- . . to
promote world youth cooteration and under-
staildng.d "
It was inspired, late last semester, by a group
of young people from various wartorn nations
throughout the world who visited the Univer-
sity on their way back from the San Francisco
Conference.
They talked to University students at a mass
meeting and at several informal receptions. They
spoke of the students in their native lands, of
their universities and schools which had been
destroyed, and the books which have been taken
from them.
In answer to the question "What can we
here at the University do to help?" a Danish
naval officer ' said, "Organize, contact other
youth groups and adopt a foreign university."
Immediately, a group of students began to
form an all-campus organization, made up of
delegates from campus groups representing ev-
ery student on campus.
At two successive mass meetings, to which
every person on campus was invited, student
approval of the plans was voiced, a name was
chosen and a constitution adopted.
On June 20, just 15 days after the speakers
had left the campus, the SOIC was'officially
recognized by the University administration.
At present, the Executive Council of SOIC is
made up of representatives of 19 campus organ-
izations, but other groups may petition for a
seat on the Council.
As the policy forming body of the organiza-
tion, the Council's plans are carried out by com-
mittees made up of all students on campus,
regardless of affiliation, who are interested. Any
committee member is eligible for a committee
chairmanship. This would entitle him to a
seat on the Executive Board, the administrative
organ of SOIC, whose job is the co-ordination of
committee activities.
The first project of SOIC is the adoption of a
foreign university. Choice of the university will
be made by the entire student body at a cam-
pus election to be held in the near future.
Initial step toward familiarizing the stu-
dent body with possible universities to adopt
will be a mass rally to be held at 7:30 p. m.
EWT (6:30 p. m. CWT) tomorrow on the
steps of the Rackham Building.
Faculty members and students who have at-
tended foreign universities will speak for their
institutions-present a picture of campus life
and a report on present conditions.
Other universities will be spoken for through
articles in the Daily. Information on these
schools has been supplied by the World Student
Service Fund, the Russian War Relief and the
American Youth for a Free World.
Also included in the program for the rally is
a report by Jack Gore on the Washington Youth
Conference. Gore has just returned from the,
Conference which was held July 2 and 3. A
meeting of representatives of 46 American youth
groups, the Conference was gathered to formu-
late a platform for an American delegation to
take to the International Youth Conference to
be held this fall in London.
A- tfic ofrlo fntwr ' snn l n
By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON-The District of Columbia
looks more like a peacetime capital this
summer than in many years . . . For the first
time since the war, the house is now planning a
long recess . . . This reflects increased Con-
gressional confidence in the new White House
set-up, also the fact that many a legislator
yearns for home.
The dollar-a-year men and brass hats who
planned to check out after Germany's defeat
haven't started their exodus. Instead they've
been joined by hundreds of business men who've
moved in to get their reconversion headaches
unsnarled.
Thousands of returning officers and en-
listed men from Europe have added to the
housing and feeding problem. Parking spaces
along the Potomac are crowed on hot nights
with G. I. Joes and G. I. Janes and gov-
ernment workers searching for a cool breeze.
Washington is more peaceful, but still jam-
med.
Adding to the crush are the Truman boys
who have descended on Washington. . . .
'they fall into three categories: (1) The Missouri
boys, friends of Truman and Bob Hanne-
gan looking for jobs, patronage, and juicy poli-
tical plums . . . (2) The Pauley boys from
Southern California-friends of former Demo-
cratic treasurer Ed Pauley who've rushed into
town to. climb on the gravy train. Third group
are the "Battery K" men. These are the
World War I vets who saw service with Harry
Truman in 1917-18.
Truman Heyday
TRUMAN'S own aids in the White House are
still impressed by their new surroundings ...
Some feel that Truman's rise gives them a
blank check to use his power for their own ends.
One youthful aid has been bragging about
having Truman's political enemies shadowed,
their wires tapped . . . Truman, a sworn enemy
of wire-tapping when in the Senate, will prob-
ably clip their wings soon. The hangers-on are
still having a field day around the White House.
Center of administration power has partly
shifted from the White House to the second
floor of the Mayflower Hotel, where Bob Han-
negan holds forth in Democratic headquart-
ers . . . Judge Welburn Mayock, the com-
mittee's new general counsel, uses the office
to lobby for California oil interests . .
George Killiom, the new treasurer of the na-
tional committee, who has been using a meat-
ax to collect money for the committee from
business men may find himself chopped down
soon . . .
Meanwhile little is happening to set the
stage for Democratic victories in the Congres-
sional elections next year . . . Hannegan is
already in hot water with labor, particularly
the CIO, which he has been studiously ignor-
ing. Labor leaders, who poured out millions
to help Roosevelt last year, claim they can't
even get a glass of water from the Democrats
ON SECOND
ByRay Dixon
POP'S POLITICS
Our father is a fine man and we agree with
him on almost every subject. But every four
years around presidential election time the filial
ties are strained somewhat, for he votes Repub-
lican and my sympathies are more with the
Democrats.
The other day, however, friend father was
discussing the war and what comes after and
he seemed to hit the nail on the button. We
think what he said was worth repeating:
He claims he is not much alarmed by such
things as rancid butter being found in the
midst of a butter shortage or the disagree-
ments and difficulties coming to light in what
was Germany.
"Some screwball somewhere let the butter get
rancid. So what. Everyone makes mistakes at
some time or another. They are bound to hap-
pen. The important thing is that we're winning
the war.
"Germany today is a mess. The Allies almost
completely destroyed the whole country. The
process of rebuilding it is a terrific job. We are
bound to make mistakes. Some screwball some-
where is sure to bolax up the works. But the
overall policy is OK."
He said that he fully expects that there will
be a lot more scandals of one sort or another
cropping up during the next few years. The
newspapers will play them up and some people
will get excited. But in spite of all the furor,
the fundamental policies and objectives of war
and peace are sound.
"It's like cooking fudge. You've got to wait
for things to smooth over."
when it comes to bucking oppressive legislation
in Congress, and are now making threats to
move over to the G. O. P. camp.
Republicans Harmonious
FARTHER up Connecticut Avenue 'at Re-
publican headquarters things are harmo-
nious . . . The Republicans are sitting back,
are quietly laying the groundwork for a high-
powered Congressional race next November
What they need most of all are some issues . . .
G. O. P. 'sters, including Chairman Herbert
Brownell, are confident they'll find plenty in a
few months, are hoping that Truman stubs a
few toes politically soon.

PD RATHER BE RiGHT:
Positive Aetionl
By SAWUEL GRAFTON
T HE BEST statement of our war aims for
Japan will be the record of what we do in
Germany. The intelligent Japanese (and there
are intelligent Japanese) will watch what we
do in Europe with much closer attention than he
will accord to any words we utter.
The awful significance of an American ad-
ministrative failure in Germany now breaks
full upon us; it would prolong the war in
Asia. Nothing would terrify the Japanese
more than to see a disintegration of life in
the territories under our control in Europe.
For the record we show to the world in Ger-
many constitutes the conditions of uncon-
ditional surrender in the Pacific.
There has not yet beeen an American admini-
strative failure in Germany, and it is too early
to burst out crying. Failure is not the word.
Yet almost all observers in the American zone
of Germany are oppressed by the feeling that
there is a certain blankness in our approach to
the problem, a certain ideological nothingness, a
lack of direction, and a passion for making
decisions which have no effect except to post-
pone the making of decisions.
MR. JOSEPH C. HARSCH has contributed to
our understanding of the matter by his
Christian Science Monitor article, in which
he points out that the British almost uniformly
pick German business men as public officials,
while the Russians take the former inmates of
concentration camps; and we pick clergymen.
The moral is clear; we alone of the major oc-
cupying powers have no plan for Germany,
and so we turn to the clergy, as a comfortably
ambiguous choice, apparently without political
significance.
Clergymen have as much right to public office
as do the members of any other profession,
and there would not be much danger in this
political strategy if it were a mere interim plan,
designed to tide over until the Germans, through
their own political activity, began to throw up
new and appropriate leaders. But here is where
we fall down. Having selected what we hope
are non-political figures for public office, we
then ban all political activity. We have no
plan for Germany, and perhaps we should have
none; but we insist that the Germans shall
have none, too. We do not care to think out
their futures, but we insist that they shall not
think them out, either; no thinking allowed
around here, in other words.
At this point our administration becomes an
unreal thing, for political thinking cannot be
avoided; it is as universal as, and as real as,
though in our zone it may be as unmention-
able as, sex.
HE SAME IMPULSE causes some of us to
look hopefully upon the figure of the Japa-
nese Emperor; he too, it seems to us, is, or per-
haps can be made to be, non-political. Yet let
us note where this kind of blank thinking leads
us; it makes free Americans into advocates of
something like a union of church and state in
Germany, and of an emperorship in Japan, and
of an empororship in Japan, and both institu-
tions are foreign to our own way of life. It
suddenly is clear that not to have a plan,
becomes a plan, and of a rather unexpected
sort. The kind of political nothingness we are
exporting becomes reaction, much to our own
surprise.
Somehow we must find the courage in Ger-
many to let go, not to be so afraid of politi-
cal action, to let it happen; knowing that an
order banning political activity is, in the high-
est degree, a political order; it is politids of
the most furious kind. We must think of the
Japanese, watching us; nothing, it seems to
me, could bewilder them more than our invi-
tation to them to entertain the dangerous
thoughts of rebellion, so as to come under
our own prohibition of dangerous thoughts.
