The Chicago MaroonVol. 3, No. 22 Z-149 Friday, March 17, 1944 Price Five CentsEconomist H.C SimonsDiscusses Tax ReformBefore Citizens Board House, Senate WeighBills Giving EducationTo U.S. War VeteransHenry C. Simons, Associate Profes¬sor of Economics, spoke Wednesdayat a luncheon meeting of the CitizensBoard of the University at the Chi¬cago Club. He discussed proposed taxreforms with respect to their provid¬ing adequacy of revenue, equity in dis¬tribution of burdens, simplicity instructure, and incentive to producehigh levels of business employmentand production after the war.Specific proposals offered by Mr.Simons were: Use of the personal in¬come tax as the predominate source offederal revenues. We should havesource collection, not only from wagesand salaries, but also from corporatedividend and interest payments. Per¬sonal exemptions after the war prob¬ably should be $1,000 for marriedcouples, $500 for single persons^ and$250 for each dependent.“The basic marginal rate of taxshould be 20 per cent. The upper sur¬taxes should be reduced to a level atwhich we are willing and able to makethem fully effective. The whole ratestructure should be planned to lastfor a decade or more without sub¬stantial change. Change in effectivetax rates, to prevent inflation or defla¬tion, should normally be accomplishedby changing the level of exemptions;such exemption changes should be re¬garded as the primary device of mone¬tary stablization. Revenues derivedfrom the normal or basic rate of taxshould be shared in some part withthe states, unconditionally and on acollection basis.“Abolition of tax-exempt securities,with moderate federal compensation,in the form of a supplementary inter¬est payment, for outstanding issues.Elimination of the gross discrimina¬tion between home owners and renters,by requiring the reporting of theestimated net rental value of owner-occupied residences as an item of per¬sonal income. Some reasonable solu¬tion of the community-property prob¬lem and related problems, either bycompulsory joint returns or by per¬mitting unrestricted division of fam¬ily incomes between husbands andwives,“Elimination of excise taxes as anelement in the federal revenue sys¬tem. Outright repeal of all excess-profits taxes. Outright repeal of thecorporate income tax. Introduction ofa simple averaging device wherebypersons with unstable annual incomesmay periodically claim rebates andthus not bear higher relative tax bur-<iens merely because of income ir¬regularity.“Elimination of all special treat¬ ment for capital gains and losses assuch, gains to be taxable like othergains and losses fully deductible, with¬out segregation and with unlimitedcarry-over privileges. Treatment ofevery transfer of property as a reali¬zation by the previous owner (donor,decedent, or seller) of the fair mar¬ket value at time of transfer.”Brought about as a result of cur¬rent congressional furor over taxes,the choice of tax reform as subjectfor discussion at a luncheon meetingof the Board is in keeping with thepolicy of having faculty speakers dis¬cuss timely subjects that are of in¬terest to the Board members, who arebusiness and professional men of highstanding in the community.“We regard the Citizens Board asa medium for interpreting the workof the University to the community,”said Neil Jacoby, Secretary of theUniversity. “We feel that these menas responsible members of their busi-nes or profession, will act as defend¬ers of the University in their circlesbecause they understand it. In thetwo years the Board has existed wefound that it has worked as we hadplanned it.”Philosopher RussellReturns To CampusAs Guest LecturerNext week Bertrand Russell is com¬ing again to the University of Chi¬cago. He will present three lecturesfor the Departent of Philosophy inSocial Science 122 at 4:30, March 20,21, and 22. His last series of lectureshere drew crowds of never less than1,250 and once as many as 1,700, andit would surprise no one if S.S. 122proved too small to hold the crowd.A graduate of Trinity College, Cam¬bridge, and lately appointed Fellowthere, he started his teaching careerthere. Later, he was the Lowell Lec¬turer at Harvard. From 1920 to 1922he was Professor of Philosophy atthe National University of Peking.In 1915 he was awarded the Nich¬olas Murray Butler medal, and in1934 the Royal Society gave himthe Sylvester medal.His appointment four years ago tothe staff of the City College of NewYork caused wide discussion of hismoral beliefs and their influence on thestudents to whom he would be lectur¬ing on logic and science.

TheYale Club of Chicago is to give aluncheon tomorrow in Dr. Seymour’shonor. He is staying in Chicago at thehome of Mr. and Mrs. Edward L.Ryerson. Mr. Ryerson is a member ofthe Board of Trustees both of YaleUniversity and of the University ofChicago.The traditions of Yale and Yalemen have been part and parcel of Dr.Seymour’s background. His great-great-great grandfather, Joseph Coit,was awarded an honorary degree atYale’s first commencement in 1702.Two other ancestors served as presi¬dent of the university. Dr. Seymour’sfather, Thomas Day Seymour, was A number of bills are now pending^before Congress providing for the ed¬ucation of war veterans. Among thesebills is S. 1609 by Mr. Thomas ofUtah. The principal features of S.1609, as revised, are as follows:The bill limits the education andtraining program of servicemen topersons who have been in active ser¬vice for at least six months; and pro¬vides that persons who have had noservice outside the limits of the Uni¬ted States or in Alaska shall not be'eligible for education under this billif they have been discharged fromactive duty solely on their own ini¬tiative.The bill stipulates that “the Presi¬dent shall appoint in the United StatesOffice of Education, by and with theadvice and consent of the Senate, anAdministrator of Servicemen’s Edu¬cation and Training . . . who shall ad¬minister the provisions of this Act.”The bill also provides for the estab¬lishment of an Advisory Council toaid and advise the Administrator inthe execution of his duties, and thatthis Council shall consist of the Sec¬retary of War, the Secretary of theNavy, the Federal Security Adminis¬trator, the Administrator of VeteransAffairs, the United States Commis¬sioner of Education and six repre¬sentatives of the people to be appoint¬ed by the President, at least four ofHillhouse Professor of Greek languageand literature at Yale for more thana quarter-century.A condensed biography of Dr. Sey-n <'ur appears as an uninterrupted riseto the heights in the field of education.Seven years of study at Cambridgeand Yale, culminating with his Ph.D.degree from the latter in 1911, borefruit in his appointment the sameyear to an instructorship in historyat Yale. Thenceforth his progress wasrapid—an assistant professor in 1915,a full professor in 1918, Provost ofthe University in 1927, Master ofBerkeley College in 1932, and Presi¬dent of the University in 1937. Hispredecessor in the presidency wasJames R. Angell, member of the fac¬ulty here at Chicago years before.Perhaps Dr. Seymour’s chief claimto fame, however, lies in his work asa historian, diplomat, and author.

Thetwo men were together at the ParisPeace Conference, where Seymour wasthe chief of the Austro-Hungarian di¬vision of the American Commission toNegotiate Peace, also the UnitedStates delegate on the Rumanian,Jugoslav, Czechoslovak TerritorialCommission. Concerning the VersaillesTreaty, Dr. Seymour has always main¬tained that “its mistakes are due notto the leaders at the conference, but tothe masses in the victorious coun¬tries.”It was at this time that Dr. Sey¬mour became associated with Col. E.M. House, another American, whoplayed a leading role at the confer¬ence.

Its membership, which hadconsisted primarily of men students,was depleted by the calling of theenlisted reserve last spring and byincreasing draft requirements. As aresult of falling receipts the managerfelt it necessary to resign, and recom¬mended that the Co-op close.Ellis was started on a small scaleabout eight years ago, and since 1938has been the favorite eating-place ofsome 260 students. Although the oldhomogeneous group had gone andwhat remained was more of a restua-rant than Ellis Co-op, many of itsmembers didn’t want to see it die.A group managership was set up, thecook took on a great deal of addedresponsibility, and further attemptswere made to publicize the Co-op. Butthe membership still declined, and itwas ultimately decided to close andliquidate all assets.A Board of Trustees was organizedto invest the money in Central StateCo-operative, and to recognize anystudent body interested in reopeningthe Co-op before the end of the warif possible. The Board consists of tw’ofaculty members, Mary Sidney Branchand Maynard Krueger, one memberfrom Central States Co-op and twomembers from Inter-Co-op Council.At the present time, liquidation ofassets is almost completed.

Intertwined in thequestion of sovereignty are the con¬siderations of traditional imperialismshared by the great powers, lucrativeoil deposits in this area, the perpet¬ual question of local independence orform of federated state, and rightsof minorities and of non-Arab groups,namely the Zionists in Palestine.“There is and will be nationalismin the Near East,” asserted Mr. Wil¬son, because “the problem is nowwhat expression may be given to thenationalistic spirit. The ideology ofNear Eastern nationalism owes agreat deal to America.”Although such credence in U.S.idealism “makes the Near East aconcern of America,” according toWilson, this interest has currently runin economic channels. There has beengovernment concern for Arabian oilto supplant the dwindling domesticreserves of this country.However, “cries of sovereignty” sosuccinctly phrased by the speaker,“are in part due directly to the UnitedStates. Four million American Jews. . . are anxious as to the outcomeof the situation in Palestine.”Establishment of Arab federationor union is possible, but the Orientaldirector advised that “no cautious stu¬dent of the situation would predictthe future of Arab union. Whetherthere is a legal framework for com¬mon action or not, it is safe to pre¬dict that the Arab nations will expressthemselves more in common terms inthe future than in the past.”General ambitions and attitudes ofArabs today are deemed similar sothat a peiwading sense of communityspirit is “inevitable.” Consequently,the general Arab feelings and actionsafe relevant to any U.S. oil conces¬sions.Erecting a Commonwealth in Pal¬estine might be the solution “to theproblem of the federation of Arabstates as w'ell as the question ofwhether Palestine could handle morepeople even if the Belfour Declara¬tion did not prevent the immigrationof more Jews after March 31, 1944,”explained Director Wilson.Such an internal mechanism ofgovernment would provide a customsunion and open markets which meansthat it would be the industrial centerof the federation according to Mr.Wilson’s proposals.YOU CAN’T LOSEYOU CARRY TRAVELERS CHEQUESIThat’s right!

The apparent in¬crease of separations, according tothis University of Chicago professor,has been a partial result of labormigration wheTe one member was em¬ployed in another locality.Figures amassed for this surveyreported that for every eighteen cou¬ples living together in this countryin 1940, there was one couple separ¬ated, exclusive of those from divorceor death. Equally significant was thereport that out of every six marriedcouples, one was divorced or separ¬ated.From 1940 census figures comes thefinding that 1,200,000 homes werebroken for causes other than crime,insanity, seafaring, war, and immi-Chapel Union ElectsPatty Pickett NewChicago PresidentPatty Pickett, according to the re¬sults of Chapel Union’s annual elec¬tion held at the beginning of theweek, will be the next president ofthe organization. One of the moreactive Chapel Unioners, Patty hasbeen chairman of the CU RecreationalCommittee for the past year, planningthe ever-popular pop concerts, barndances, outings, and skating partiesfor which Chapel Union has becomefamous.Competition for the vice-president¬ial spot resulted in a tie betweenGeorge Davidson, present co-chairmanof CU’s Program Committee, andHank Goodman, editor of the Outlookand co-chairman of the Campus Con¬ference.To eleven of the twelve places onCU’s Board the following were elect¬ed: Molly Allee, chairman of SocialProblems Committee; Sandy Ander¬son, art editor of the Outlook; Bar¬bara Barke; Buzz Burrer, co-chairmanof the Campus Conference; MugsCornuelle; Ann Duvendeck, new Rec¬reation Committee chairman; DickForstall; Marianne Mond; Sue Saxl,co-chairman of the Program Commit¬tee; Beth Van Hise; and Lois Wells.For the twelfth position there wasa five-way tie between Julia Mar¬wick, Sydney Rosen, Myron Chapman,Art Koch, and Janet Davison. Plansat present are to run off this dead¬lock and the vice-presidential one ina special election next quarter. gration.Professor Ogburn witnesses thatthere are twice as many widowedwomen as widowed men, since thedeath rate is higher for men, andwidowed men tend to marry youngersingle women.Geographically the higher percent¬age of separations is notable in theWest in comparison to the North orSouth. Civil laws seem to have littlerelevance to divorces if New Yorkstate which has strict divorce regu¬lations is important. There the authorfound more than the average numberof separated men, although the Pa¬cific coast has similar statistics withlenient divorce laws.The ioreign-bom in the UnitedStates have fewer separations than dothe native whites of native parentage.Professor Ogburn explains that thismay be due to the stronger family tiesinherited from foreign lands and alsoto religion.On the agricultural side, farm fam-iies experience less separation anddivorce as compared to city figures.For every 100 native white coupleson farms there are three separated.Observed the Professor, “Oddlyenough,” the very young married per¬sons are most often separated. Of theyoung men, 16 to 19 years of age,for 100 married and living with theirwives, there are 27 living away fromtheir mates.”Calvert Club SponsorsLecture By PresidentOf Saint Mary's CollegeSister M.

Round Table BlamesAmerican People’sApathy About PolicyThe American people have failed tomake use of the democratic processeswhich they possess in the determina¬tion of a consistent foreign policy,according to the speakers on the Uni¬versity Round Table, March 12. Jer¬ome Kerwin, Professor of PoliticalScience at the University, Hans J.Morgenthau, Visiting Professor of Po¬litical Science, and Walter Johnson ofthe Department of History were theparticipants in a three-cornered dis¬cussion of “Dilemmas of U.S. ForeigrnPolicy.”“The American people themselveshave failed,” said Mr. Morgenthau . .In foreign affairs the public has nothad a consistent policy. It has ratherhad a A kind of emotional outburstwhich occurs in the face of an impor¬tant political decision. But it does notinfluence foreign policy as such.”Walter Johnson pointed out how¬ever, that at given times public opin¬ion has directed U.S. foreign policy.“For instance, in 1936, certain pres¬sure groups concentrating upon fight¬ing American entrance into the WorldCourt flooded Washington with tele¬grams and letters and exerted greatpressure, and the Senate rejected theplan,” he said.Professor Kerwin suggested thatcertain changes might be made in ourstructure in order to insure demo¬cratic control of foreign policy. “Wecould, for instance, make the structureof our government more responsive toan educated public opinion and insti¬tute the parliamentary system of gov-erment ...”According to Mr Morgenthau, theaim of U.S. foreign policy should bethe “promotion of our national self-interest. I would . . . support demo¬cratic governments when this seemsto be in our national interest, but Iwould not oppose autocratic govern¬ments simply because they were au¬tocratic.”“Self-interest to me,” declaredJohnson, “would require that the for¬eign policy of the U.S. should en¬courage democracy in thp world . . .it should be interested in the growthof freedom.”Motto Contest Rules1.

Bill Roberts, Don Shields, Cynthia Siblev NaniwTraarer, Wiillain Wambaugh omwn.'fMember Of The Faculty"Mr. Hutchins* current proposal to abolish academic titles at the University of Chicago may beconsidered in two fashions: either it is a practical method of correcting or improving a situation, orit is a move fraught with exceedingly mystical and symbolic significance. We leave the second ideato those who fancy this sort of cabalism. Being of a more realistic frame of mind, we shall ignore theFreudian connotations for an examination of the actual value of the president’s suggestion.In bringing up the matter of academic rank for discussion, Mr. Hutchins failed conspicuouslyto convince anybody that discontent and jealousy due to titular differentiation are of such propor¬tions as to seriously handicap the University. More than that, nobody else—neither faculty, board oftrustees, nor students—has been complaining bitterly about the situation engendered by the exist¬ence of faculty titles. In fact, to claim that one man is jealous of another merely because one is called“assistant” and the other “associate professor” is to make the charge that our faculty is a pack ofidiots. Nobody resents the distinction of title qna title; it is rather the connotations that accompanythe title: the difference in salary, in authority, in responsiblity. The prestige of rank lies not in thecollection of syllables that represents the title, but in whatever is attendant upon ownership of the ti¬tle. Consequently, we feel free to assume that the grave situation that Mr. Hutchins’ reform is sup¬posed to alleviate does not exist except in the minds of those who stand ready to implement any ofMr. Hutchins’ notions merely because they are Mr. Hutchins’.Now that the dangers of assistants falling upon the necks of associates with loud impreca¬tions and weapons is past, perhaps we can safely^xamine other aspects of the plan. The major dis¬tinctions among faculty members—differences of salary, tenure, and departmental duties, as well aseligibility for membership in the University Senate—still exist, nonetheless. Consequently, no mat¬ter what you call the men by way of rank doesn’t alter conditions a whit, so long as the REAL dif¬ferences remain; and even if you elimnate ALL names of titular differentiation, the salaries and thedepartmental duties and authorities are status-giving in themselves.There is a parallel in the attempt of the Russian government after the Revolution of 1917 toerase class distinction by banning the use of titles. In order to effect this, it was'ordered that every¬body should be called Comrade. However, since there was a government (though a Communist one)rather than an anarchy, authority and spheres of responsibilities had to be delineated somehow. Theresult was comrade foreman and comrade commissar, etc. The old status-giving names had beeneliminated, but the necessary divisions of authority had to be maintained, hence the new names forold ranks.If President Hutchins persists in his attempt to abolish academic titles, the consequences mayvery well be ridculous. When a professor of the University of Chicago is asked for his rank, he willanswer; “Why, I am a Member of the University of Chicago, of course.” And in a whispered aside,“on indefinite tenure, you know.” Or for an assistant professor to murmur “but I am a three-year-appointee” when mistaken for an instructor. This is certainly not an intelligent way of demonstrat¬ing the difference between the University of Chicago and other universities. Janice BrogueOutlookDefinitionsFor several weeks, The Chicago Maroonhas taken issue with the Administrationon several of the projects and plans pro¬posed by President Hutchins or the Boardof Trustees. The result of our stand onthese various matters has led to the accu¬sation by many of our readers that TheChicago Maroon is anti-Administration.Though the charge is false, it is under¬standable, and because it is so, we wish to ing the University and the students of theUniversity. Anything else, no matter whatits origin or its aims, will be conscientious¬ly attacked and criticized.It is due to our consistent faithfulnessto this policy, that we have earned the con¬demnation of many people on campus. Weare not categorically opposed to anythingthat is Administration-sponsored, but wehave not been convinced that the manyplans recently proposed are congruentwith our cardinal principle: that the bestinterests of the University and ALL stu- Losing their A.S.T.P. students willbe the telling crisis for many colleges,depending almost solely on the A.S.¬T.P. as some of them do to keep themabove ground during the war. Al¬though an A.S.T.R. program for 17-year-old high school graduates to begiven a year’s college training at gov¬ernment expense is being instituted tobolster stricken colleges, the proposed25,000 A.S.T.iR. students will not ap¬proach the numbers of A.S.T.P. stu¬dent who will be going off to the wars.We, however, are in a singularlyhappy position. Instead of losing stu¬dents and money during the war, thenumber of students has been increas¬ed by the Army and the Navy, at thesame time augmenting profits. Thecrowding in classrooms and hithertounknown lack of space around campusshould indicate the greater numbersto those incapable of seeing uniformedplatoons filing into buildings andmarching down the sidewalks.In addition to this, next fall’s Ci^ssof incoming civilian freshmen will bethe largest yet seen, due at least inpart to Christian Science Monitor andReaders* Digest publicity. Withdrawalof most of the A.S.T.P. forces herewill be of distinct advantage to theUniversity, considering both the spaceand the faculty necessary to takecare of such a sizeable class.In short, any way you look at it, theUniversity of Chicago comes out ontop. War comes and our students en¬list or are drafted; we get service¬men students. Most of the servicemenleave; national publications becomeentranced at the ridiculous ease withwhich a healthy youngster is trans¬formed into a cultured Einstein, andentrance applications pour in from allover the country.It’s true, you know—this is a luckyschool. It will be going centuries fromnow if it manages to hold on to itspresent phenomenal luck. LettersTo The Editor:I wish to join with the thousandsof alumni who will protest againstthe search for a new motto for theUniversity.I am willing to admit that it iswithin the range of possibility that abetter motto may be found, althoughit is incomprehensible to me how amore stimulating or more character¬istic keynote for the University couldbe expressed in so few words.My protest is based on two grounds:first, that there is nothing wrongwith the present motto; and, second,that this is something where changeitself, unless made for adequate rea¬sons, represents a definite loss.How can anyone question the signi¬ficance of the “enrichment” of life, orjithe fact that the University contrib¬utes toward such enrichment throughthe extension of knowledge? In con¬tent, these words seem to me to de¬serve immortality almost as much as:“I have come that you may have life,and have it more abundantly." (Pleasecorrect this quotation, which I amunable to check).A r.'al asset of the University isits function as a nucleus of attractionof the affectionate loyalties of thou¬sands of alumni. To a great extent,this function reflects the force ofmemory and tradition. It may be nec¬essary for the alumni to withstandthe shock of accepting a college whichgoes to high school, a bachelor’s de¬gree given two years before a mangraduates, a professor who is an in¬structor, a President who has no titleexcept that of “Number One Boy,” afaculty holding full-time Govermnentjobs, and other innovations, but whyadd to these the wholly unnecessarymonkeying with our motto.

In the first placethe stag line was of pre-war dimensions, and what withfour or five hundred dateless women on campus it doesn’tquite seem to be cricket.. .Nevertheless womenless Al¬pha Delta ran rampant the whole evening.. .But un-‘ doubtedly the queerest event of the century occurred toSmothers and Corina Rodgers. It seems that one of thePhi Gams called Dave aside and in low tones spake thus-ly: “Say, Dave, I hate to say this but if you and yourdate want anything to drink you’ll have to go up to the\ back room on the third floor. There are some people•'around here that object to drinking”!!!...This and sun¬dry other activities witnessed, such as a blacked-outdance floor behind nearly locked doors, convinced Bazaarthat this little dance will go down in campus history asone of those amazing war phenomena... And speaking ofthe war, Keith Williams finally did it.. .After threateningto depart (he's been threatening for so long most of ushave been considering it an empty promise), the sweet¬heart of the stag-line leaves for the army today...Godspeed Keith.Harmon Craig came bursting into the Maroon officethe other day to inform us that he just beat the deadlineon the bottom-of-the-barrel-scraping hand of War Man¬power Commissioner McNutt...He enlisted in the NavyAir Corps Reserve V-6 program and was accepted on thevery eve of his eighteenth birthday.. .Whee!.. .Whichreminds me of the unfortunate experience suffered byBill Brown one night in U.T....It seems Bill had justfinished convincing those in authority that he was REAL¬LY twenty-one years old and just looked young for hisage...He then turned aside and casually screamed tohis companions, ^Drinks are on me tonight, fellas. I’meighteen today and just registered for the draft!”...Needless to say he was immediately bounced out on hisshell-pink ear.The Quad-Mortar Board basketball game (for sweetcharity’s sake, not to mention the W.S.S.F., and the B.Glenn-R. Greenlee combine) sent some of our fairestcampus flowers to Student Health... but did better thanlast year when half of both teams ended up in Billings.. .This year both teams ended up in U.T., where thelosers (Quad) bought the winners (MB) beer.. .and alsowhere Jeanette Davidson and Marge Shollenberger hadto beat off a couple of slightly alcoholic ASTP’s who werepouring out their love for the ladies between drinks...The whole evening, incidentally, turned into a homecom¬ing for some of the Mortar Board BWOC’s of yesterdaywhich included Ellen Parker, Janet Peacock, Mary LuPrice, and Barbie Dryden... it was all very maudlin andnostalgic.And now we come to pins, engagements, and wed¬dings which, like Hutchins, Aristotle, and the Poor, wehave always with us...Biggest news in pins is that ofWhitey Bayard and Peggy Malliiieu...Yep, Whitey hasfinally taken the step and his big bold Psi U pin nestlesquietly beside Peggy’s golden Wyvem.. .Anne Cams hasacquired a Psi U pin, too, from the U. of Mich, by wayof a midshipman at Abbott Hall... Ruth Chapin, newpres, of Chi Rho, went and got herself engaged to ErnieKlemme, Kappa Sig from somewhere, now on campus...And the wedding that almost didn’t occur because of bad¬ly time-tabled trains etc. was the one celebrated Sat.^ight between Peg Williams and Bud Bates.. .RuthieKline’s ring now makes her official property of Ralph Ma-haffey—^watch for the announcement in the Trib soon.At a little musical soiree at Bill Wambaugh’s theother night Carroll Atwater was languidly listening toa Bach melody and murmured dreamily to no one in par¬ticular, “I hate to be so crude about this, but BachSENDS me!”.. .Amazing things about the Wambaughrecord collection are learned at these little get togethers•••Nancy Smith once went quietly mad when she askedBill if she could hear one of his albums and his answerWas; “Which of the ninety-three would you like to hear?”...D.S. THfi CHICAGO MAROON — —Carroll AtwaierWhat Price SanityThe professors hereabouts have been having a bit of fun at the expenseof The Chicago MaroorCa motto contest. One of the suggested mottoes mak¬ing the rounds is a corruption of Louis XIV’s old standby—^Hutchins speaking(in rather questionable French). “L’Universetat e’est moi!” Needless tosay, there are others less printable.♦ ♦ ♦ ♦A philosophical note is added to my collection of overheard conversations.This afternoon two working men, both very weary and worn, leaned on theback door of Lexington, relaxing with cigarettes. One asserted to the other,“Well, the way I look at it, we’re all just living on borrowed time . .That enthusiastic announcer on Station WAAF sounds increasingly likea victim of high blood pressure. In the last couple of months he has beenraving about a Ouija board. “Ask the Ouijy board, it knows all the answers,”he says devoutly.Right after the Ouijy board blurb comes a program known as TheMusical Quiz Master, which occurs regularly throughout the day: a songis played, and the Master calls up an unknown on the telephone; if theunknown has heard the song, he collects war bonds or vast jackpots.This all sounds very sanguine, but actually the stupidity of the Chicagoradio audience is equalled only by its failure to listen to the Musical QuizMaster program, or its inability to remember song titles. Our friend theannouncer tries desperately to encourage these people, but it doesn’t seemto do any good.The only practical solution, as far as I can see, is for the station todeliver Ouijy boards to every person in Chicago.« m 4> «Pvt. Jim Ratcliffe, who created What Price Sanity last spring, sent usthis Scott Field anecdote. One morning when his barracks fell out forreveille, a corporal arrived extremely late. A rather literary sergeantwandered over to him and said, in that gentle chiding tone that rattlesthe windows, “Next time don’t be so languid!” The corporal, looking hurtand puzzled, replied, “But sergeant, I didn’t say a word!”♦ ♦ * ♦Pvt. Ratcliffe’s contribution proves what all my cronies have observed:that once you get Sanity-minded, you can’t unlearn the habit. Movies,meals, dreams, perfectly rational conversations—all these things serve nowas mere means to the end of the deadline. The whole thing must have some¬thing to do with Professor Lohman’s idea uttered in Monday’s Social Science 2lecture about how man has become a mere accessory to the machine.Bill RobertsLife LinesWhether it’s a means of escapefrom the tense atmosphere of a na¬tion at war or merely a new mani¬festation of the old human desire tolaugh at his fellow man, we don’tknow, but it’s obvious that Americahas suddenly gone cartoon mad. Suchesoteric magazines as The New York¬er and Esquire are playing up theimportance of cartoons on their ultra-sophisticated pages as never before.The creator himself, the once lowly“gag artist”, has been individualized.Once a cartoon was just a spacefiller, a relief from the dull monotonyof a page of solid print. The artistwas in most cases an unknown, whosename was nothing but a scratchy blurat the bottom of the picture. The onlytype of cartooning to receive any typeof recogniton was the comic strip.“Well, whaddya know! Pitchers 1” Then came such men as Peter Arnoand James Thurber to oust the oldorder and bring the magazine cartoon¬ist into his rightful place. Amo withhis witty and worldly-wise drawingsappealed to the cosmopolitan readersof the type of magazine containinghis work. On the other hand, Thur¬ber, who in some circles is consideredto be a genius, made a hit with thepublic immediately. His crude, almostjuvenile drawings, and keen insightinto the “hidden souls” of his sub¬jects are infallible drawing-cards.The abundance of newly-publishedcartoon collections by popular artistsis proof enough of the new craze. Be¬sides Thurber’s Men, Women, andDogs, George Price, the master of theline drawing has compiled two hilar¬ious volumes. Price is famous for hisplausible-seeming presentation of theimpossible. This is also the standbyof Charles Adams, who has the rareknack of sketching riotously humor¬ous situations that otherwise wouldseem almost sadistic and morbid.Addams’ complete collection oflaughable atrocities. Drawn and Quar¬tered, has recently reached the book¬stores and contains, naturally enough,an introduction by Boris Karloff.Darrow’s YouWe Sitting on My Eye-lashes, Steig’s The Lonely Ones, andHelen Hokinson’s picture narrative ofthe capers of frustrated and over¬weight clubwomen are three moreproofs of the fast growing popularityof the “funny picture”. I ..I. Pogg Rv»Fred GottesmanOne^s—SelfLast week, I mentioned briefly some of the forces thatwere at work to prevent the achievement of our vauntedwar aims. It may be unbelievable to some that many ofthe people occupying key positions in our governmentand our society have never really meant a word of themany they uttered in spurring us on to the successfulprosecution of this war, nor have they ever entertainedthe faintest idea of ever fulfilling any of the promisesheld out as bait to the people of our ocuntry.This fact was evident four years ago, when our gov¬ernment started its mobilization of the country’s re¬sources to meet the Nazi threat to our security. Sincemost of the mobilization was industrial, it providedjust the opportunity Big Business had been waiting forthrough the six bleak years of the New Deal. Our mon¬opolies knew that any sort of a war boom would meanCOLLABORATION instead of control on the part of thegovernment. Industry was certain that the governmentcould never mobilize the country effectively to exercisea maximum strength without calling the “dollar-a-year”experts to Washington. Having once established them¬selves as indispensable to the government, they werethen in a position to establish their influence, but insuch a manner that whatever mistakes were made werethose of the government, while they were still free tocriticize and deplore the evils of the very bureaucracythey were part of.Completely forgetting this situation, we still assumedthat we had a liberal and free president and federalgovernment, and that the promises and hopes given tous by that government were still valid. The very factsthemselves speak louder than any words or theories.In the two years and three months that we have beenat war, event after event has done nothing but shakeevery hope for a freer and better world to come.Nancy SmiihBox OfficePRINCESS O’ROURKE . . . Princess Olivia de Havil-land, war refugee in this country, seeks a suitable mateto perpetuate the royal line and happens on Transcon¬tinental Pilot Robert Cummings, with whom she fallsviolently in love. The match is heartily approved byUncle Charles Cobum, Olivia's bailiff, so to speak, whobleats joyfully that Cummings was one of nine boys, hisfather one of eleven. Only loose end to tie up now is totell Cummings that Olivia is not an upstairs maid, whichis the impression she gave him, but blue blood to the lastartery. The information sort of floors him (he swoonson it, as a matter of fact) and he is, on the whole, ratherconfused. To good old solid American friends Jane Wy¬man and Jack Carson he says consolingly, “Oh, that’s allright; I’ll only be a Prince Consort,” knocking himselfdown all over the place. Pilot Cummings, whose name isEddie O’Rourke, is rapidly stuffed full of court etiquetteand rules for his proper demeanor on the way to theWhite House to pay a chummy little visit. When hediscovers that he will have to give up his U.S. citizenshipto marry Princess Olivia, the fog leaves his brain andthe Irish in O’Rourke becomes apparent. The President(whose left shoulder puts in a fine performance) and hisscottie Falla ultimately arrange a quiet ceremony at ap¬proximately one or so in the morning, a shoeless affair,legalized by a Supreme Court Justice in his pajamas.The dialogue usually sparkles. Miss de Havilland con¬stantly. She is at her pertest and cutest, yet always man¬ages to maintain an air of innate dignity suitable to thepart.

One of the most significantof his contentions is expressed in hisassertion: “It is important that thecolleges clarify the issues- which thecitizens will face and train their stu¬dents to think about those issues inreasonable terms. The colleges mustmake a distinction between truth andlies, right and wrong, without impos¬ing doctrines upon the students.” (Continutd- from page one)42 months’ active service.It further provides that such per¬sons shall be selected on a competitiveJbasis from those voluntarily apply¬ing for such period of education; thatithe number of persons selected forfurther period of education shall, asnearly as the conditions of good ad¬ministration may permit, be appor¬tioned among the several States prin¬cipally upon the basis of the numberof persons supplied the armed forcesby each State; and that the selectionof persons for further study shallbe made by the State agencies desig¬nated therefor and in accordance withstandards and methods proposed bysuch State agencies and approved bythe Administrator.The bill provides that the Presidentshall request the chief executive ofeach State to designate the legallyconstituted educational agency, or ifno such educational agency exists, toprovide for the creatiofi of such anagency for the purpose of selectingthose persons who shall be entitledto receive a further period at educa¬tional institutions.
