ChicagoMaroonVol. 1, No. 14 Z-149 April 23, 1943 Price Four CentsNRPB Postwar PlanNot Shelved-MerriamThe famous report of the NationalResources Planning Board has not, asa great many people believe, beenpigeon holed by Congress. This wasthe answer of Dr. Charles E. Merriam,professor emeritus at Chicago andvice chairman of the NRPB, in aninterview to the MAROON yesterdaymorning. Chapel To HoldSunrise ServiceEaster Morning“You can’t ex¬pect Congress,”said Merriam, “totake care of theReport the veryfirst day whenthey haven’t gotthrough the taxplan yet.” At thismoment, accord¬ing to Mr. Mer¬riam, the Senateboard is considering the report. In allprobability a House Board will soonbe instituted for the same purpose.Not until these two organizations havedealt with the problem both singlyand jointly, can any positive action beexpected in this field. “The planningfunction of the board.” said Merriam,Ms advisory in its^ natyrg.- with noCharles Merriampost-war planning_ _ _ Lunger of the University Church ofpower to command or to give orders. ^TCRsci^es of CHns?, and ReverenlS R.For that reason the “American Bev¬eridge Plan” must wait until Congressgets around to it.The National Resources PlanningBoard, though it has only recentlyclaimed the attentJbn of the AmericanPublic, is an institution of long stand¬ing. Founded in 1933 by PresidentRoosevelt with the purpose of serving“as a clearing house of planning in¬terests and concerns in the nationaleffort to prevent waste and improveliving standards,” its first assignmentsdealt with such problems as publicworks, land, and water power. Never-thless each report of the Board hasbeen an amalgamation of the data anddeci.*44^ns—of^-ten years’ work. Eachproblem involves, in Merriam’s words,“the collection of basic data, carefulanalysis of this data by skilled tech¬nicians, a look around in order to seethat various plans and efforts are notignoring or working against eachother, and a look forward, projectingeither a particular plan or trend, analternative, or a positive recommenda¬tion of a ^particular plan.”This most recent of the Board’sTuany Reports is not, therefore, anisolated achievement. Although it wasdelegated by President Roosevelt twoyears ago it is the product of manyyears of political thought and nationalresearch work.But as Congress slowly follows itsaccustomed path, it is well to remem¬ber the phrasing of President Roose¬velt’s statement of the NRPB report.“We fight today,” he said, “for secur¬ity of our nation, and at the sametime we can endeavor to give ourcitizens and their families securityagainst attacks from without, andagainst fear of economic distress inold age, in poverty, sickness, involun¬tary unemployment and accidental in¬juries. Because of their basic impor¬tance to our national welfare duringthe war it is my earnest hope thatthe Congre.ss will give these mattersfull consideration during this session.” The fifth Easter Sunrise Service,7 A.M. April 25, sponsored jointly bythe students of the Interchurch Coun¬cil of the University of Chicago, thechurches of the community, and theU.S. Naval Training School at the U.of C., will be held on the Midway infront of the Chapel.Formerly, this Easter Service hasbeen held on the steps of the Chapelbut this year, due to the added armyand navy men on the U. of C. cam¬pus, a platform and public addresssystem will be erected on the midwayfor the ministers addressing thegroup. 500 soldiers, assigned to Army.schools on the campus, will form across that will be blocked in by 1500navy men in white.The ministers participating are theReverend C. W. Gilkey, Dean of theUniversity Chapel, the Reverend I. E.W. Schloerb of the Hyde Park Baptist Church, and the Reverend A. W.Painter, Assistant to the Dean of theUniversity Chapel.One of the highlights of the serviceis the 40 piece naval training schoolband under the direction of ChiefBandmaster Sid Zaremby. A studentchoir under the direction of HarmonBro will also be participating.The service is short, twenty-fiveminutes, and will be followed by theregular 11 A.M. service, addressed byDean Gilkey.In the evening at 7 A.M. those in¬terested in Chapel Union are meetingat Dean Gilkey’s to go to the LibertyBaptist church to hear the all NegroEa.ster concert. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO OFFICIAL STUDENT PUBLICATIONCAMPUS LEADERSLEAVE WITH ERC2nd SaluteIssue ShowsBetter WorkThe second issue of Salute, monthlypublication of the Abraham LincolnClub, appeared on campus this week.Continuing their policy of publishingeditorials on current problems, theLincoln Club, Young CommunistLeague branch, has improved thisidea considerably by bringing the ar¬ticles more closely to bear on the Uni¬versity campus.Education for WarAn excellent article on educationand the war effort lists the contribu¬tions made by each department of theUniversity and adds a suggestion fora centralized war economy whichwould include provision for a centralplanning board for educational facil¬ities, specifically the Tolan-Pepper-Kilgore Bill.

The second issue has shown evenbetter than the first that it is the onlygroup publication which is wholly andexclusively all out for the war. Dramatic Association elected aBoard of Control for next year at itsmeeting last Tuesday. The Board,which formerly had ten members, nowhas been telescoped to a five man ex¬ecutive council. Betty Fanning, juniormember who has served the Board inthe capacity of Box Office Manager,elected president. Jim Ratcliffe,waswho has been acting as Chairman ofActing since last February, will con¬tinue in that capacity and will serveas Vice-President in the absence ofthe President.

The talk was presentedby the Renaissance Society of the Uni¬versity.Count the Bathtubs' Daiches, who is returning to his na¬tive Scotland, where he will teach atthe University of Edinburgh, oncemore proved his ability to make pro¬found abstractions interesting andunderstandable. In the course of histalk Daiches showed how many mod¬ern critics fail to give any originalcontribution which enables the readerto see the value of a work as litera¬ture. Cataloguing some of these crit¬ics’ methods, Daiches described thetype who praises a work for its eth¬ical value only, the “autobiographicalreminiscence” type, the genetic meth¬od, and the critic who uses his criti¬cism as a starting point for a creationof his own. “The critic,” said Daiches,“should arrive at some conclusion asto what distinguishes literature as aformal verbal expression from otherways of handling language.”The primary purpose of this talk,he stated, was to provide an answerto the problem of whether literaturemust be criticized as a branch of es¬thetics or whether literary criticsmight find their own theory. He pre¬sented a method of evaluating liter¬ature which is a part of a more gen¬eral interpretation that includes allarts. “All art is,the communication ofknowledge, but only in literature is itrecognized to be that,” he added.

He is abogey common to every one of us: he leers fromthe folds of all contemporary issues; his insinu¬ating voice whines an obligato to every flag wav¬ing Philippic of the latter day Cassandras; he hasbecome as popular as Jew baiting and Jim Crow-ism. People refer to it in the pregnant sentence,“What About Russia?”What a powerful question that is! What pow¬ers to frighten and terrify it has! Let a ravenhaired politician croon it through his microphoneand fifty thousand of us cross ourselves in holyterror. Let him merely hint that “after this warweVe another battle to fight” and every trueblue American says: “you betcha”. Indeed, thefirst demagogue who murmured: “what aboutRussia?” was manna to all the pussyfootingwindbags in the United States.But the idealists among us shout “that waylies disunion and discord; that way is suspicionand mistrust and defeat! The very idea is out¬rageous, pernicious, and traitorous.”But they are wrong. The question “whatabout Russia?” is important. Its implications areforeboding, and those who ignore them are ig¬noring facts. Russia is a danger we cannot over¬look. It is not dangerous because it is “red” orimperialistic. It is not dangerous because theinsidious, sacriligeous doctrines of communismmust be fought by every right thinking Chris¬tian. It is dangerous because the power and idealswhich Russia stands for in the minds of the con¬quered people of Europe present an unavoidablechallenge to the United States and Great Britainto make manifest their worth.Europe is expecting something from us. It isexpecting an honest attempt on our part to con¬struct a fear-free, hunger-free world. It is expect¬ing a real indication from us that the days ofcolonial exploitation and imperialistic grabbag¬ging are over. It is expecting that our diplomacybe governed, not by opportunism and conven-iency, but by the ideals we proclaim in our prom¬ises and charters.And if those promises are not fulfilled, it’snot hard tp guess where they’ll turn. Commun¬ism cannot afford to cheat these people, even ifwe think we can. It is our to duty to prove, notthree years hence, but now in our every actionand proclamation that our form of governmentis best for the world of the latter days of thiscentury.We are not doing that now. The people of oc¬cupied Europe have recognized the Peyroutondeal, the Spanish mess, our don’t-hurry-me-take-it-easy State department for what they are: ma¬terialistic, insincere, opportunism. Already cor¬respondents are reporting that these people arelosing faith in us, doubting our promises and ourideals, turning steadily away towards the SovietUnion.It is our responsibility, both to ourselves andto them, to reverse our policy. It is our respon¬sibility to prove that when we speak of the fourfreedoms, of the century of the common man,of world peace, that we are not kidding. If wedo not they will lose their faith in us, a faithand confidence they shall surely offer the SovietUnion.It is for that reason that I say: “RememberRussia. Look out for her, for if -we don’t shewill.” No Execution Revenge^Yesterday morning the newspapers carriedthe heaviest banner headlines they had used ina long time. Those headlines shouted the newsthat six of the American fliers forced down ayear ago over Japan had been deliberately exe¬cuted.To the American people, who believe that warshould be waged with decency, that news camewith a sickening shock. That men should sufferand die in war time we realize: it is the verymeaning of war. But that they should be stoodup against a cold wall and leisurely, deliberatelyshot for no other reason than that they fought onour side is hard to take.That is the reason why that Thursday morn¬ing streamer reflected the rage and disgust thatseized both Chicago and the United States. Thatis the reason why, now, people talk darkly ofretaliation, of paying for each shot Americanflier with an executed Japanese. But that is theone course which, under these circumstances, wemust at all costs avoid.Such an action could only be excused if itwere effective. It is not. It seems simple enoughto shoot a certain number of captured Japanese,but any knowledge of the character of those peo¬ple indicates that its effect on the victims wouldbe absolutely non-existant. In the first place, theJapanese government does not and never hasvalued the lives of its subjects. They are regard¬ed and regard themselves as minute tools in themechanics of war. A few insignificant lives losthere and there are absolutely nothing in theirlives. In fact, to the minds of men to whom cap¬ture is unspeakable disgrace a martyr’s execu¬tion is more than welcome.But there is a more important reason. Theretaliating execution of the Japanese would haveno effect on them: it should on us. If it is disgust¬ing for men trained in a creed of ruthlessness andbrutality to shoot captives, what is it to youngmen bread in Christianity and decency? If it isunspeakable for Japanese to do such things,where is the justice in our doing them? We arefighting for kindliness and tolerance and forgive-‘ness. In the hate and shame of a war such asthis we may h'ive to forego those ideals, butwe should never even consider deliberately aban¬doning them for the sake of nothing more seriousthan retaliation and revenge.Out of this World TraveUng BazaarPARTIES, PARTIESThe “D.U.

(No re¬semblance to any other “Sweetieface”—i.e. Genevra’s turtle—is intended.$ ’obviously.) Speaking of Genevra, aswho usually isn’t, this ode was foundin her notebook along with a fewsketches of gremlins and ballet-danc¬ers. (The page was headed “Soc.

(The saxophonist in the band,however, seemed to think Pickett waspretty eligible material.)WITTICISMa la Cronson was, is, and alwayswill be—well, always will be. At arecent party at Nancy Newman’s,Frank Evans came in out of the bittercold night and stood before the fire,a benign expression on his smilingface, rubbing his hands together. Heturned to Mr. C. and said, “Whatcharacter do I remind you of, stand¬ing here before the fire?” Don lookedat him, smiled sweetly, and replied.With the departure of the E.R.C. next week264 young men will be scooped off the campus.When they leave they will be lifted completelyfrom one world to another. Here at Chicagothey have regarded themselves as the cream ofthe coffee shop and the intellectual elite of Amer-can youth. In the rarified air of university lifethey have been exposed to the rays of abstracteducational theories and the nice warm glow oftheir own self esteem. If they happen to belongto a fraternity they will leave a select little worldwhere they have occupied their private thronesand exclusive prestige.A great many of them shall be taught theirfirst real lessons in democracy. They shall entera world where a college education or a campusreputation counts for very little. They shall findthat mud farmers from Missouri and stokersfrom Gary are just as good as they. They willhave to forget their liberal education in the finerpoints of the humanities and study to carry afull pack twenty miles a day on a dusty Texasroad. They will learn what it is to be just an¬other dirty buck private.No Time for PoliticsThere has been in our history, three out¬standing presidents who have possessed greatsocial ideals—a future vision of a greater Amer¬ica. These were Jefferson, Lincoln, and Wilson.Franklin Delano Roosevelt aspires to be thefourth, but he is failing where they succeeded.To be successful in politics, one must be apolitician. But when one has reached the pinnacleof political success, the presidency, one’s dutyabove all else is to the people and the country,not to the chiseling wardheelers who put you inoffice. Roosevelt’s three famous predecessorsrealized that. When Hamilton and Morris triedto force Jefferson to play politics and relinquishhis beloved ideals, Jefferson, at the risk of ruin¬ing his entire political career, told them to go tohell. Lincoln was extremely unpopular among hiscohorts for a long while, but he pushed resolutelyon. Wilson was a very poor politician. But thesemen will live forever in America’s heart. Theyhad the fortitude to stick to their guns when thejfknew they were right, in spite of formidable op¬position. with Don Heindel—Don, if that’s not “Satan”.**What^s the trouble, mister—Indian Underwear?**If you’re a victim of underwear that creeps up onyou, get next to some well-behaved Arrow shortswith the specially constructed seamless crotch.They’re full cut from durable fabrics.

C. M. Sawyerand Dr. Wilfley, both of the U.S. Sig¬nal Corps. The faculty was very wellrepresented by Drs. Saper and Shaw,who really got a bang out of the per¬formance; also Drs. Bernard and Hes-tenes of math fame. Still others were:Melvin Gottlieb, Ernest Frank, Walter iSelove, Mrs. Henry Heller, DavidFisher, Miss Josephine Hodges, Mrs.Kdward I^nkin, and lovely Miss Pa¬tricia Walsh, all of class four. Manywith their wives and sweethearts, plusa number of class five boys, who allenjoyed the gala occasion.IMPERSONATIONSNow as to the entertainment, thatis where the fun began. Brother SamI’asner practically stole the show withthe impersonation of—well—you knowwho; if you don’t, ask any class fourman. Ralph Lovell, the boy who isreally hep, turned in a super job asM.C. The electronic follies were reallya fine continuity of satire on thecourse itself and those dishing it out.Weston gave us his version of thetempo at which the lectures are de¬livered, but yours truly has a feelingthat the profs operate in a little high¬er gear.

Ouch!!! -• | Krueger—(Continued from page one)Maynard Krueger a better chance todo what he couldn’t do before.Their forces have devotedthemselves entirely to discovering howmany children in the ward are leftwithout day care. Next they proposeto tabulate the 25% in the district ex¬isting without bath rooms, beievingthat, in Mr. Krueger’s words, “A listof wash tub owners is more importantthan a list of the League of WomenVoters Ladies”. In the meantime theSocialist Club shall support those can¬didates who agree “by testimony andby record” with the platform of theorganization.Tried Against MachineIt was last January that MaynardKrueger broke for the first time intothe musty caverns of sixth ward pol¬itics. There, where case-hardened in¬cumbent Patrick Sheridan Smith heldhands with the City Hall, he futilelytried to break the machine ring. Fight¬ing against a three ring circus oftime tried political tricks with the vi¬tal issues of race discrimination, pub¬lic education, and civic cleanliness,Krueger made a more than formidablebid for power. The election returnsshowed that he failed.The tricks to which he fell victimwere of this nature. The Krueger or¬ganization sent poll watchers to ev¬ery precinct in the ward. In thoseprecincts which Smith deemed ques¬tionable each independent watcherwas asked “are you over twenty-one?”Most answered “No” and was shownthe door. The technicality was invalidbut it gave the Judges time to accom¬plish whatever design they had inmind before Krueger’s men got backin.Election TrickeryOn election day Smith workers col¬lared people in the street and said:“What do you think—I just found outabout that damn Krueger. He’s theguy who keeps niggers out of the U.of C.” Before an exceedingly small audi¬ence both Friday and Saturday nightsthe University Players presented oneof the most delightful productions ofthe year. Despite an amateurish touch,“Tovarich” was done with such a gayand light hearted spirit that the au¬dience both nights went away feelingthey had passed two very pleasanthours in an atmosphere far removedfrom the problems of the day.Responsible for putting the playacross with such success were MerleSloan, as Tatiana, and Lester Schiff,UP veteran, who interpreted the partof Prince Ouratieff surprisingly well.The two of them carried the humorof the production so consistently thatone had the feeling that they actuallywere the characters they represented.Only other shining light in the playwas newcomer Jerry Sandweiss, inthe role of Mr. DuPont, the Frenchbanker. Sandweiss was completely atease upon the stage, lending so muchpersonality and wit to the part of Du¬pont that his audience welcomed himat each stage entrance. Mary Diamondas Fernande Dupont was fair, but fellfar below her performance in “Guestin the House”. This perhaps was dueto the fact that she entered the castrather late, and the finishing toucheswere never put on her interpretation.Other than the first three actorsmentioned, the supporting cast wasexceedingly weak. George Tressel andPeggy Wagner as the son and daugh¬ter of the Duponts lacked a certainundefinable something that, had itbeen present, might have made theirscenes far more successful. Perhapsthat something was sincerity—what¬ ever it was, they failed to convincethe audience. Slighty better was Ho¬mer Goldberg in the part of the des¬picable Commissioner Gorotchenko.There were many occasions however,where Goldberg’s technical perfectionwas broken as he muffed a line orcut into the speeches of his fellowactors. Goldberg looked the part, andoccasionally acted it, but his workshowed a decided need for further di¬rection.Leads Leave GapIt was fairly obvious that whenSloan and Schiff were not on thestage, the supporting cast was hardput to fill in the gap which the twoleads left. They were the couple whomade the play and carried the excel¬lent pacing with them. In the fewscenes where they were absent, thepacing dropped and one felt sick, as ifwaiting for them to make their reap¬pearance.Despite the flaws, the play was nev¬ertheless exceedingly well done on thewhole, and the spectators enthusias¬tically brought the cast back for cur¬tain call after curtain call.MIDWAYSHOE REPAIR1017 East 6Tst StreetChicago, III.Phone Hyde Park 4286» me ,"{h me mi/T«"80y. m HIAT AND WODN DOWNNIKI ARt SOMITNIN', ARCN'T TNCy?""WHAT lUCK. . . com/ iVS 600D JFOR THC OLD >MORAll."“That’s based on a real letter. ‘Gimmea Coca-Cola' is the watchword forrefreshment with every branch of theservice.

Gavin, Puchalski and Melgard; Sol¬omon, Corson and Beulen, Pfeil.Looking for their second victory, theU of C baseball squad journeys toCamp Grant tomorrow and Sunday fora pair of games.The team hit a new low last Satur¬day in their game with Navy Pier.The day before they blew a 7-4 leadto let the Navy sink them 19-7. Thenon Saturday, the Maroons began tohit, built up a 3-0 three inning lead.On one hit and a multitude of walksand Chicago errors. Navy scored 5runs. From them on it was a fairlyeven ball game, but the Maroons wereunable to regain their lead, and theyfinally lost, 11-7.On the face of it, the game doesnot deserve to be called “a new low”for the Maroons. But when the totalswere adedd up, it was found thatNavy won the game on 17 walks andonly four hits. Its no disgrace to losea ball game when you are outplayed,bu the Maroons should have walkedaway with that one.Maybe the team has learned the les¬sons it needs by virtue of its threedefeats. Wild pitching, poor throwing,and sloppy base running have beenthe principal faults. Practice shouldbe the remedy.The team has been playing withoutthe services of Paul Homer and ChetLukey, both good hitters who finallyreturned to play yesterday. CaptainNick Farisi was in Billings last weekto have something removed, and isstill recupereating. Dick Reynolds isout of town, which leaves the pitchingstaff with hut three men. Nick Melasreceived a gash in his leg during theNotre Dame game and will be healedjust in time to depart with the ERCWednesday.After their games with CampGrant, the team will meet IllinoisTech again next week, before openingtheir Big Ten season at Iowa nextweekend.
