Marie Tolst
By HARRY LXUNN
Marie Tolstoy, granddaughter
of the famed Russian author, Leo
Tolstoy, has come to campus this
summer to teach several courses in
the Slavic language deparment.
The Russian-born, but thor-
oughly Americanized teacher is a
woman of wide travels and diver-
sified Interests. Her many hobbies
range from baseball to record col-
lectings
SHE HAS few recollections of
her celebrated grandfather, writer
of such masterpieces as "War and
Peace," for he died when she was
three years old. However, she does
recall his eyes, which had "a pier-
eing and frightening appearance
to many adults, but seemed kindly
and understanding to children."
rMiss. Tolstoy lived in Russia
throughout the two revolutions
of 1917 and 1914 and came to
Czechoslov&W in 1924 when she
mas 16 years old. "Our family
"awe not persecuted' during the
yrolution, although all our

jored in Slavic philology, the study
of Slavic languages and their de-
rivations. Following this she work-
ed and taught for a period and
then returned to the University to
take her doctoral degree.
She had finished her disserta-
tion in 1939 when the Germans in-
vaded Czechoslovakia and took
over the University. However, the
300 page manuscript on "Develop-
ment of the Perfective Aspects in
Russian, Czech and Polish," which
took three and a half years to pre-
pare, was destroyed by the Ger-
mans and she never received her
degree.
* * *
AS SOON as possible she left
Czechoslovakia, coming to this
country in February, 1940. "I had
two advantages on coming here,"
she said. "In the first place I
knew English because my mother,
who was half Irish, had taught it
to me, and secondly I began trav-
eling immediately upon my arrival,
thus getting to know the country
and its people better."
For a time Miss Tolstoy gave
lectures throughout the country
on her grandfather and her ex-
periences under the German oc-
cupation. Then she wrote for a,
period and began teaching at
Cornell. She has also taught at
Columbia University, Middlebury
College and the University of
Indiana.
During the regular school year
she now teaches at New York City
Collegeand makes her home in
New York.

SUMMER MOVING-Despite the high temperatures, workmen coolly edged the first of two houses
through the streets of Ann Arbor yesterday. The delicate moving job which required a police
escort, the uprooting of telephone poles, and the raising of telephone wires rolled the houses to their
new sites outside the city limits.

MISS TOLSTOY finds relaxa-

most expensive one is record col-
lecting," she said. "My records
range anywhere from Dixieland
to opera." She favors Chicago Dix-
ieland over the New Orleans style.
An avid baseball fan, she con-
fessed that she was once quite a
soccer player. She also reads all
the "hot-rod" magazines and
likes watching car races.
In addition she enjoys swim-
ming, knitting, taking walks and
reading.
But right now she is very happy
to be on campus and enjoying her
work in the new Slavic languages
department.

Phil Murray Promises
Steel Workers' Victory

Special To The Daily
GARY, Ind.-In the midst of
rolling newsreel cameras and glar-
ing klieg lights, United Steel
Worker President Phil Murray
promised the more than 10,000
strikers overflowing hot, smoky
Membrial Auditorium Sunday in
Gary, the home of the world's
largest steel mill: 'You will win!"
Murray ripped into the leaders
of the steel industry, calling them
a band of "professional culprits"
waging a campaign of misrepre-
sentation and slander unequalled
in the annals of history.

ALTHOUGH the steel strike is
going into its third week and the
steel workers are, no doubt, facing
financial difficulties, the white
haired union leader speaking with
a trace of a Scottish brogue was
greeted with overwhelming enthu-

siasm as he warned his listeners
that they must be prepared to
"fight, struggle, sweat and sacri-
fice until the bitter end."
Fierce opposition to the Taft-
Hartley .Act-referred to by
union men as the "slave labor
act"-was expressed by huge
signs that dotted the auditor-
ium. "We, as steelworkers and
free American workers won't
work under Taft-Hartley in-
junction," "Taft-Hartley won't
produce steel" and "No con-
tract . . . no steel" faced Mur-
ray as he spoke.
The Big Six, the six major steel
companies hit by the strike, had
also spent last week busily pre-
paring for Murray's visit. Full
page advertisements representing
the steel industry's side appeared
regularly in the area's newspa-
pers. 'wo hundred thousand let-
ters 'vere sent to the strikers in
anticipation of Murray's speech.
S* s
THE MAJOR DISPUTE seems
to center around the issue of the
union shop. Under a union shop
provision a worker would be re-
quired to join the union within 30
days after he had been hired by
the steel industry. Union workers
would like to get rid of the "free
riders" who enjoy the benefits
procured by the union without
paying dues.
Gary's administration has
placed itself firmly behind the
strikers declaring itself to be
for labor. Mayor Peter Mandich
stated, "I am on the side of*
the working man, not on the
side of the absentee owner from
Ogden (wealthy suburb of
Gary) to Wail Street."
There is no one in this steel
producing area who does not feel
the effect of the strike-from de-
partment store owner to the corn-
er druggist. With the current high
cost of living steel workers have
found it hard to save and have
done a large part of their buying
on credit. Business has fallen off
considerably and a stack of bills
is delivered to many homes by
the mailman each morning.
THERE IS LITTLE HOPE here
that the steel strike will be set-
tled in the near future. Strikers
have resigned themselves to tak-
ing in their belts a few notches
and attempting to sit the strike
out.
The majority feel that their
cause is too just to budge one inch
from their demands. They have
every intention of fighting until
they emerge victorious over con-
quered management.
