Inner Circle of the GOP EVER SINCE the G.O.P. soiree in Philadel- phia, Republicans in political positions and the Republican press of the nation have been touting Tom Dewey and the party plat- form as exponents of the "new liberalism." Dewey has suddenly emerged as the peo- ple's friend, the fellow with the big liberal ideas, the fair-haired boy who will clean re- action out of the government and give Amer- ica a foreign and domestic policy she can be proud of. Throughout the convention Republicans resoundingly patted themselves on the back for the accomplishments of their 80th Congress, responsible for such "lib- eral" legislation as the Taft-Hartley Act, the Mundt Bill, the tax cut bill and the bill providing for entry into this country of 200,000 hand-picked displaced persons. And they promised to continue giving the American people more of the same, if re- elected. It is ridiculously obvious, or ought to be, to anyone who has been reading factual accounts of Congressional action in the pap- ers recently that this is just so much gum- beating. It is equally obvious that Tom Dewey as governor of New York was not the great innovator and renovator his backers make him out to be. Campaign boasts are taken for granted in our society, and no one is too seriously wor- ried about extravagant claims made by pres- idential hopefuls. It is when one examines the records of Dewey strategists, campaign workers and the men he has in mind for his cabinet, if he gets the nation's top job, that one real- izes that maybe the whole story isn't as obvious as it should be. In the rush to get the latest campaign de- velopments and "color" stories into their papers. the nation's newsmen missed out on some salient points about personalities at the G.O.P. convention. John Foster Dulles has been named by Dewey as his choice for Secretary of State. John Foster Dulles, before the last war, was head of the Wall Street firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, representatives, in this country, of many Nazi-American cartels. Other or- ganizations with which Dulles had close contact as their representative were the banking houses of J. Henry Schroeder and the Schroeder Trust Co. According to a charge made in 1944 by Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, "It was from Schroeder, an international banker, and from the coal and iron interests of Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. NIGHT EDITOR: KENNETH LOWE western Germany represented by him, that Adolf 'Hitler obtained the finances neces- sary to start him on his career. "The law firm which Mr. Dulles heads ... was at that time closely connected with the Schroeder banking interests, which extend- ed to this country .. . "It is this intimate relationship of Dulles . to the interests that made Hitler's rise to power possible, that should, in my opin- ion, be one of the central points of investi- gation before entrusting the making of peace into the hands of any man wits these past loyalties," Sen. Pepper said. Then there's Dewey strategist Edwin F. Jaecle, who played an important past in en- gineering the nomination. Some of his for- mer activities include the incorporation of (remember the name?) the German Ameri- can Bund in this country. In 1937, Jaecle, then New York State GOP chairman, "ex- tolled the historic background of the German race" at a "German Day" celebration. Other speakers on the program included Nazi Am- bassador Hans Dieckhoff, Martin Ederer, local Bund president, and three Nazi consular officers. And while we're at it, let's not forget Rep. Hugh D. Scott, new GOP national chairman. A "liberal" of the highest order, Scott's record in Congress shows votes for such "liberal" legislation as the Taft- Hartley Act, the Mundt Bill, all GOP tax cut bills except the one easing the tax burden of low income families by increas- ing family exemptions from $500 to $600, and rent increases of 15 per cent. In 1943 he summed up his "liberal" views in a Lincoln's Birthday speech. ". . . it is time the Republicans took over (because) we are the best stock. We are the people who represent the real grit, brains and back- bone of America." Sounds strangely like some things we've heard from America Firsters, Father Cough- lins and their ilk. Scott's little speech fits right in with the smear tactics employed in Dewey's un- successful 1944 presidential campaign. Lithuanian born Sidney Hillman, chair- man of the CIO Political Action Commit- tee became the scapegoat. Billboards read- ing, "It's Your Country - Why Let Sid- ney Hillman Run It?" defaced the country- side. Obvious implication - Roosevelt's main support comes from the foreign- born labor bosses, Jews, and Communists. Three million postcards bearing Congres- sional franking stamps were sent out. They read, "Browder-Hillman and the Commun- ists Will Vote. Will You?" The Republican National Committee footed the printing bill. Reporters who have covered Dewey's ac- tivities for years have said that "You have to know Dewey to dislike him." I wouldn't even go that far . . . you merely have to know about him to dislike him. -Fredrica Winters Irnns in the Fire WITH U.S.-SOVIET tension at a new high, it seems appropriate to search back over the past few years to discover what became of those "heroic ally" salutations which were bandied about so freely in the world con- flict. It would be overly cynical to ascribe this mutual esteem entirely to the exigen- cies of war. There undoubtedly existed a genuine fund of good will, at least between the peoples of the two nations. Whether the two governments ever trust- ed one another is open to question. Stalin certainly admired the democratic pragma- tism of FDR, and respected him for his prompt recognition of the Soviet Union upon taking office. For Truman he has dislike and not a little contempt. Harry Truman has a sad talent for off-the-cuff remarks, and the Kremlin has a long memory. The day after the German invasion of Russia, the then Senator Truman was quoted as de- lighted, and suggested that we aid whichever side appeared to be losing, so as to sustain the struggle to the ultimate extinction of both behemoths. However slight one may rate the moral edge of Soviet totalitarianism over the Nazi variety, one can scarcely blame the Russians for a policy rooted in fear and mistrust of the nation whose chief exe- cutive is given to such ideas. The so-called Truman Doctrine, whereby we made wards of half a dozen bankrupt reactionary re- gimes scattered over the globe, hardly strengthened our moral position. Yet, having cited these extenuating cir- cumstances, and after making further al- lowance for the physical and psychological hurts received in its recent battle for sur- vival, the American conscience must assign the major responsibility for the present im- passe to the Soviet Union. The world ex- pects of the great powers a balanced and adult approach in all their external actions. Instead, Russia has made her international relations into a succession of temper tant- rums. A nation so insecure within that it can tolerate no deviation from the Moscow mold by its satellites, whether it be the Czech heresy of free elections or the minor nationalist aberrations of Tito. A nation so unsure of its place in history that it must resort to stealing credit for a host of sci- entific developments made in other coun- tries. A nation which makes freedom a slo- gan and a catchword, but not a way of life. The world is not yet so maddened that it cannot recognize a genuine case of par- anoia. The widespread sentiment among Con- gressional hacks for adjourning the special session the instant it hassconvened bodes ill for Republican election chances. An elert GOP will make good use of the double-edged sword the President is waving at it, by press- ing at once to enact his civil rights program. In so doing, they can both vindicate the sincerity of their platform promises and complete the split-off from the Democratic party of the Southern primitives. -David Saletan 'Mixed' Matches WHEN THE UPPITY United States Lawn Tennis Association went so far last winter as to permti a Negro to compete for the first time in a national tournament, it looked as though the game had finally been rid of its discriminatory restrictions in the North. A recent Associated Press dispatch, however, indicates that at least one North- ern city has so far escaped enlightenment in this respect. That city is Baltimore where several per- sons were booked for disorderly conduct last week after refusing to play "mixed matches." Mixed matches in this case referred to con- tests between whites and Negroes. It seems that Baltimore's crusty municipal code still carries an ordinance designed to enforce segregation in the city's public parks, the word "public" being used very loosely of course. When a group of Wallace Progressives attempted to test the segregation, rules, they were ordered to break up their matches and, after reasonably refusing to obey such a ridiculous injunction, were carried bodily to patrol wagons. On the surface their venture appears to have been a futile one. The group was ef- fectively restrained from play and the statute is apparently still a part of the city's legal structure. There was one incident by way of sequel, though, that makes the entire affair look' somewhat promising. This is the fact that, shortly after the scene at the tennis courts, more than 500 persons staged a demonstra- tion outside Baltimore's police headquarters in protest against the action by the city officials. This suggests that, while Balti- more may be a delightfully old-fashioned community and one that is unaccustomed to the bright light of liberalism, it contains some citizens at least who are moving along forward lines and not running forever in the same spot, like so many sewing-ma- chines. -Kenneth Lowe.

TO THE EDITOR, The Daily accords its readers the privilege, of submitting letters for publication in this column. Subject to space limitations, the general pot- i'y is to publhh In the order in which they are received all letters bearing the writer's signature and address. Letters exceeding, 300 words, repeti- tiu letters ani letters of a defarna- tory character or such letters which for any other reason are not in good taste will not be published. The S editors reserve the privilege of copa- densing letters. Closed Door Policy To the Editor: I was particularly taken with your article, "Coed Crashes Gate" in Friday's Daily, but quite in dis- agreement with her comment "stupid but forgiveable;" I would call it stuDid but unforgiveable. This is a tradition which is a hangover from the horse and bug-'t gy days, and as the horse was re- placed by the car, there is no rea- son why this bit of antiquity' should not be replaced by a more common sense approach. On one, occasion, I saw a girl trudge through the front door with a wardrobe case in one hand and a,% suitcase in the other, only to be told she would have to go around to the side door. Because of the growth of our student body and the general util-, ity of the Union building (such as for the purchase of bus tickets) to others besides men, such a tra- dition'becomes held only for tra- dition's sake and has no value in our present campus life. Tradi-' tions in our society are only valu- able in themselves, and to main- tain them for tradition's sake is a poor excuse. For the Michigan Union to have - on salary a person whose only ob- vious function is to keep women from entering the front door cer- tainly is ridiculous. -Bob Santway * * * Slosson Suggestion To the Editor: MATTER OF FACT: The Battle Is Joined By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP WASHINGTON-Since -the President's de- cision to call the Republican'Congress back to "hold their feet in the fire," there is only one really safe prediction of what Washington will be like during the coming months. Washington will be hot, and by no means only in the atmospheric sense of that word. The hot rage of the Republicans at Truman's special session call is giving a good many Democrats a deal of malicious pleasure. Even so, some of the wiser Demo- cratic heads are already beginning to doubt that in three months or so the President will feel like congratulating himself on the de- cision he has just taken. As one of them put it: "In a prize fight, unless it's a push-over one way or the other, both fighters are apt to get hurt." Presi- dent Truman is no doubt capable of giving the Republicans in Congress a bloody nose, by loudly contrasting their promises in Phil- adelphia with their forthcoming perform- ance on Capitol Hill. But it will be sur- prising if the Republican Congressional lead- ers, who are by no means stupid men, do not succeed in administering a number of tell- ing blows somewhere near the President's political solar plexus. The fact is that in a battle between Congress and the President, the results are apt to be about equally un- happy for both, unless the President is a man of such stature as not the warmest of his admirers claim for Harry S. Truman. Thus the real beneficiaries of the sav- age battle which is about to be fought in Washington's humid heat are likely to be those who are not directly involved in the fight. These include those Democratic politicians who are trying to beat the Re- publicans in local contests. Such local leaders as New York's Mayor William O'Dwyer and Chicago's Colonel Ja- cob Arvey are delighted with the special session call. This is perfectly understand- able. So is the towering rage of such men as Colonel Robert R. McCormick's fair-hair- ed boy, Illinois Republican Senator C. Way- land ("Curly") Brooks. The case of Senator Brooks is illuminat- ing. His Senate seat is being contested by an able liberal, Paul Douglas, with the back- ing of Arvey's Democratic machine. Because Henry Wallace's third party, never averse to aan- JaiAA.nni .P'nuhbins_ is it nut- Republican mentors will permit him to take a popular stand on these issues. Second, while the unfortunate Brooks is sweating in Washington, Douglas will be free to build his political fences in Illinois, with the help of Arvey's energetic cohorts. No wonder the Brooks blood-pressure has risen. And precisely the same sort of situa- tion exists in a number of other cases, as for example between Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey and his Republican opponent, Senator Joseph Ball. Thus the President's bold move should help Democratic candidates in a number of local contests in the North. But will it help the President? Certainly it was designed to do so, and certainly it seems calculated to put Gov- ernors Dewey and Warren in an agonizingly embarrassing situation. On the stump, they will be offering the country modern, en- lightened government. But on Capitol Hill, most members of their party will be balking at such measures as Senator Robert A. Taft's relatively mild housing bill, which most Con- gressional Republicans, like Taft's Ohio col- league, Senator John Bricker, regard as nasty Socialistic nonsense. Moreover, although neither Republican nominee is in Congress, they will not be able entirely to escape responsibility for what Congress does. This means in turn a running series of conferences between Dewey and such Republican Congression- al leaders as the Senate's Taft and Joe Martin of the House. Since Dewey and the Congressional leaders by no means see eye to eye on all matters, these occasions may well be distinctly painful. Even so, Dewey will be able to remain to some degree above the battle. The Presi- dent cannot. Moreover, the President has clearly decided to cast aside the statesman's toga which he has worn so uncomfortably, and to indulge in some really tough political infighting. The unedifying spectacle of a long, rather squalid Presidential squabble with the Congress will scarcely add to the President's stature in these times. For more is involved than the. political fortunes of Harry S. Truman. And the savage bitter- ness of the fight which the President has now initiated can hardly contribute to the unity of the country, as the grim crisis abroad continues to grow more grim.

Academic Notices Preliminary Examinations fo Lectures Would it not be wise to ask' Preston W. Slosson, professor of history, to write a few articles in The Michigan Daily upon such' topics of current interest as: Two Party Platforms Now Be- fore Us, The Near East - On Stage and Behind It, Control of Atomic Energy and Politics, Can Taxation Methods Evade Us in Michigan? Some Things a Con- gressman Should Know, Are the Local Issues Knit into World Af- fairs? How Does the Taft-Hart- ley Bill Halt Production? What of the Human Side of Our 1948 Campaign? By affording him the chance to discuss questions in the general, field of current history, he can correct the harm done to his candidacy, inadvertently or other-, wise, in the recent 'headlines. It is proper, no doubt, for the Dean of Students to recognize the major not the narrower cleav- ages, and for the campus to de- bate its local issues with fervor. But these affairs h'ave resulted in deadly headlines. It is that head- 4 line write in the main office of a newspaper who can turn the switch and direct the thinking for his readers as to the new candi- date. Give Preston Slosson a place of given length in seven issues in The Daily and he will keep the rule& of this political game and begin to win the campaign. I thank you. -E. pW.
