Fifty-Sixth Year THE MICHIGAN DAILY DOMINIE SAYS - - - 0-040" DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN - I IN CHRISTIAN and Jewish thinking doctrine, historical perspective and traditional prac- tice have taken the center of the stage. These are important actors. However, if the play is to go on some seemingly minor roles must be well played. We refer to attitudes.

Taft's Disregard OHIO'S infamous Senator Taft has protested that the bill to provide terminal leave pay to enlisted men is "an utterly unjustifiable ex- penditure of a huge sum." Such a shallow statement reflects clearly that Senator Taft and his supporters have neither an intimate contact with the situation nor a sincere interest in the former enlisted men who would receive this "huge sum." The Senator's stupid assertion that " the GI Bill of Rights provides 'liberal' treatment for for- mer servicemen" is in direct conflict with the attitudes of at least 12,000,000 veterans who be- lieve that the terminal leave pay for enlisted men is an unpaid obligation owed to them and not a gift. Officers automatically received this pay at the time of their discharges and this discrimination has long been a sore point with former enlisted personnel. Senator Taft has obviously never spent a couple years at some. God-forsaken outpost where vacations were something that the folks back home wrote and told you about. The purpose of this bill is to pay the enlisted men for the furloughs which they were not able to take during the long months of active service overseas. The terminal leave bill is one of the few Legislative actions taken to remove the gross inequalities between enlisted men and officers. Congress is to be commended for its realistic approach to this situation and Senator Taft who has once again demonstrated a complete disregard for the interests of people--let us hope that Ohio's voters will remember his attitude in November of 1950. -Tom Walsh THE LONG VALLEY by John Steinbeck, The World Publishing Co., Cleveland, 303 pages T IS A PITY that a public which has given such wide acclaim to Steinbeck, the novelist, has never accorded him his due as a short story writer. For those who have admired the superb craftsmanship, the powerful economy of words, the subtle emotional qualities of a Steinbeck novel, The Long Valley will come as a brilliant revelation of the author's similar talents as a teller of tales. The book is a collection of fifteen short stories, most of them set against the back- ground of the Salinas Valley, and including the three parts of his short masterpiece, Red Pony, The collection is unique in that it emphasizes the psychological angle of Steinbecks writing, an angle which is never obliterated but often overshadowed, in his longer works, by the harsh reality of his situations and the intensity of his drama. In The Snake, for instance, we find a presentation of a peculiar sexual abnor- mality., The White Quail analyses a marital relationship between an average American business man and a woman with a fantastic imagination. Here, too, we find one of Stein- beck's rare humor pieces, Saint Katy the Virgin, which contains an unusually satiric attack on the church and is full of a sym- bolism somewhat foreign to Steinbeck's cus- tomiary directness. But there is much of the familiar Steinbeck to be found, too, in such stories as: Red Pony, Breakfast, which might almost be a chapter out of Grapes of Wrath, and The Murder, which this reviewer considers the best in the collection. All of these exploit the author's familiarity with the land and the simple, almost primitive people who cultivate it. 1n a country whose authors, in general, have never successfully captured its tone and tem- perament, largely because they reach too high and fall short of the mark, it is interesting to note that Steinbeck, dealing with one type of people in a single locale, has been able to give us a far more adequate picture. -Shirley Robin * * * General Library Book List Bromfield, Louis A few brass tacks.

Delayed Highway FOR MORE than four hundred centuries the various peoples of Central America have been faced with an apparently insurmountable wall of isolation in their relations with each other. An outstanding factor has been the lack of transportation and road communication among the chief cities Of these countries. American intervention, in the guise of the U.S. Public Roads Administration, has attempted to overcome this obstacle since 1929 with a $23,- 000,000 backing of a highway running from our southwest to the Canal Zone. Now the P.R.A. has announced that the highway will not be completed before 1949. A broken link from Oazaca to the southern border of Mexico and thick mountainous jungle areas in Costa Rica and part of Panama make this understandable. But the vast lists of possible advances that a completed highway would ef- fect - the revolutionizing of Central American economy and a greatly increased intra-Central American trade, to mention a very few --make an "on time" (if not earlier) total completion of the highway imperative. -Joan de Carvajal have died then and there. But having that at- titude toward God in which he declared, "Though He slay me yet will I trust Him," Job and the drama of which he is the center goes on its mission to the end of time. The attitudes at times can far outweigh the facts, though facts and attitudes are interdependent. The extreme resistances of a few embittered Nationalists in Palestine focus our attention and world attention on attitudes. When the Jews in their suffering react with prayer, in- creased solidarity and reliance on God and ap- peal to mankind, they can be understood. Also they can win both the Jew and the Christian to their cause. On that type of reaction their minority-but 16,000,000 in the whole world- at any time can claim a large percentage of the 400 million Christians of the world. But they can hold that support only when that suffering is accompanied with the attitudes of belief that right and justice will yet win, sensi- tivity to the needs of others, faith in the friendliness of the universe and trust in their own future as a religious family. Jewish wor- shippers of the past have taught mankind these attitudes. Christian saints have joined them in exalting those same attitudes. Let the events arrest us. Let these two great religions fail in the attitudes central to the Judao- Christian world today and this tough, egoistic, competitive and mechanical ciilization of the west will either heedlessly blow itself to bits in one generation or herd weakly to some other religion for salvation. Strange isn't it that the top scientists, ioining the social science leaders and the religious lib- erals are the most efficient exponents of mercy and cling most tenaciously to the center of the stage in our era? It is those top scientists who combine in their own lives the three necessities for salvation today and therein promise us our chief certitude for world order tomorrow. (1) They have the techniques peculiar to this age. (2) They have an internationalism which ad- mits no race lines, no national barriers and no class distinctions. (3) They have a :noral and spiritual responsibility which halts every mili- tarist, turns back our Congressional Committees and gives hope to every worried citizen. What is it which distinguishesthem? It is the atti- tude they portray. Call the roll: Anderson, Urey, Condon, Shapley and the rest. These men might fail in a very mild examination on theo- logical doctrine. They would scarcely pass a high school examination on the facts of Hebrew history, the early Fathers or the Bible. They might be found short on the religious practices as to what should be eaten when and unable to teach their children how any sacred event should be celebrated. But they possess the attitudes of love for fellow man, courage to stand by an ideal of orderly peace, intellect to choose a humanitarian goal and the soul to fear power for its own sake.-, Every student will do well to consider Prof. Ernest F. Barker of the Physics Department when he declares modestly that ancient re- ligious truth that "The kind of world we will have will be determined less by how much scientific information we acquire than by the kind of individuals we are." And then he added, "It is that task of educators to impart not only information but also moral discrim- ination so that students may use their po- tentially dangerous scientific information for proper purposes." Now these constitute only the minimum de- mands of a religion. They are, however, the minor actors without which the vast drama of our new world order can never proceed to a resolution of either the problem of evil or the riddle of ultimate communication between finite and Infinite, With R. Southey man does well to pray: Lord, who art merciful as well as just Incline Thine ear to me, a child of dust. Four things which are in Thy treasury I lay before Thee, Lord, with this petition: My nothingness, my wants, my sin and my contrition. -Edward W. Blakeman Counselor in Religious Education The Turks Look West The Turkish-elections are interesting because they represent a choice of the Western form of democracy on the part of a Russian border state. The Turks have experienced something like the Soviet brand of democracy for twenty- five years and they have had enough of it . . . The important fact is that opposition has at last been recognized in Turkey. The decision to hold free elections came from the Govern- ment party itself..-. -The New York Times Notice to Requisitions supplies will Wednesday, Session.

There will be a regu- lar meeting for the members of the End of a Policy 1 According to a recent article by an American correspondent in Brazil, definite changes in United States policy towards South America have been noted. These changes have been both welcome and unwelcome to the Latin Americans. The statement by Ambassador William D. Pawley that "the Santa Claus era is definitely over," has created a favorable feeling on the part of the people themselves, but their govern- ments are not so pleased. Whatever the varying emotions such a declar- ation may bring, it is an indication that America has ceased to carry on its benevolent imperial- ism program in order to impress the South American and other countries with the purity of our intentions. Despite the avowedly unselfish aims of the American government, American businessmen have certainly exploited the South American countries to the best of their ability. Even gov- ernment spending produced an undesirable ef- fect on Latin American trade. Countries would not bother to develop their resources when the United States government was willing to pitch BARNABY f The Coun passed C bill- ApF tent city gre en.
