Public accommodations: In the down­town area of Washington, a Negro will notbe rented a hotel room, restaurants willrefuse to serve him, he must stand to beserved at drug store sandwich counters, andtheaters will not admit him. The onlycommercial playhouse in town is beingconverted to a movie theater rather thanbow to the Actors' Equity boycott of thecolor ban,But the study probes deeper to findcauses of the social' pathology:"The Federal Govemment is responsiblebecause it, and it alone, has the power tobreak the, chains that bar a quarter of amillion Negroes in Washington from theirequal rights as Americans ...

At Harvard hisPuritan belief in the immutability ofgood and evil was strengthened under theteachings of President Walker and becamethe basis of his reforming zeal and polit­ical action. Here he was first stimulatedby the possibilities of applying scientificlaws to humanity and proving the con­tinuity of history.

His youthwas a search for the highways to power.Law, diplomacy, and the press were triedin turn and each failed him.

(Amended by the Senate +o read­May is, :1949.)ONE MAN'S OPINIONCAMPUS COMMUNISMWELL, here we go ,again. The House of theIllinois Assembly introduced and passed, with. Senate concurrence; a resoliItion to investigate"fully and completely, any and all subversive activitywhich may now exist in any connection whatsoever at theUniversity of Chicago and at Roosevelt College." Thisbecause "students are being indoctrinated with. Com­munistic and other subversive theories contrary to ourfree systems of representative government." (See oppositepage.)The immediate cause of this repetition of the Walgreeninvestigation of 1935 is stated in the resolution itself. Agroup of students appeared before the Judiciary Commit­tee to oppose pending legislation which would controlsubversive activities in Illinois. In retaliation for thistemerity, -the statesmen acted in a hysterically punitivemood.Background of the resolution, however, extends nearlytwo years, to 1947, when a state Seditious Act Investiga­tion Commission was authorized to investigate the state'sschools and report to this year's session of the Assembly,Fifteen thousand dollars worth of investigation turned upso little that a report of the investigation has not yet beenfiled. The chairman of the Commission, Senator PaulBroyles, of Mt. Vernon, is now reported working fran­tically to see that the investigators' findings, if any, are puton record.Though the Commission apparently got nothing worthyof even a speech, Mr. Broyles introduced into the presentsession a series of bills 'to end seditious activity for goodand all. The bills are vague, broad, and vicious, and,according to reputable legal authorities who have seenthem, are unconstitutional, even in these panicky times.The hills were offered despite the fact that there long hasbeen stringent legislation adequate to handle any stateCommunist menace. I t was this legislation .which thestudents, among others, protested in the hearing that pro­duced the retaliation.There were certainly some 'card-bearing Communists inthe group 9£ several hundred that attended the hearings.There probably were some Communist students in the 106from the _University who made the trip to Springfield, or By WILLIAM V. MORGEN.ST�RN '20, JD'22were indistinguishable from the party-line boys. There aresome Communists among the student body, as there areamong student bodies everywhere, and though they repre­sent an insignificant number, they are as usual indefa­tigably busy. They revel in such occasions as the hearing;they want incidents, and protests.rand pickets.Some of the organizations represented are what isknown as "front" groups. BUUh.e majority from the Uni­versity of. Chicago were not part of the fellow-traveleroutfits; they represented everything from the StudentRepublican Club to the Meadeville Theological and Bap­tist Divinity Students. The legislators professed to beappalled by their appearance and conduct. Mr. G. Wil­liam Horsley, representative from Springfield who intro­duced the resolution, told his fellows some of the students"looked like Communists," according to the public> prints.The Hon. Clinton Searle, from Rock Island, and ChicagoJD '13, apologized to the House for being a graduate ofthe University. "I wouldn't send my dog there, now," hesaid. Senator William J. Connors, familiarly known as"Botchy," described the protestants as a "dirty, greasy> bunch of kids with their hair not combed:"Various reputable witnesses to what went on in thelegislative halls testify that the conduct of those at thehearing, students, and commies, and liberals alike, wasat leastas mannerly as the ordinary actions of most of thelegislators on the floor at any time. The screams of "in­timidation" that were made seem to have originated fromthe fact that a non-campus group of dissenters to the legis­lation, who represented an anti-discrimination group,made a .collateral demonstration in- the drug store of aSpringfiel-d hotel that refused to serve colored.That there should be an investigation is not surprising.The publicity hunters in the legislature long' have beenlooking for an opportunity to get in the headlines, as theBroyles Commission indicates. The temper of the coun­try; what with the "cold" war, made their interest keen.-The resolution also offers the happy possibility of perhapshelping to embarrass Governor Adlai Stevenson, who isa liberal, and it likewise can be used in the bitter F.E.P.C.fight in the legislature ..One thing is certain. The investigation will not pro':56 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEduee any evidence that there is "Communist indoctrina­tion" at the University. There is no Communist on thefaculty; there is not even one reputed to be a Communist.There is no indoctrination of any kind; students are nottold what to think, but are encouraged to do their ownthinking. They are taught to evaluate facts and informa­tion, and on the basis of their evaluation to arrive at theirown conclusion. The legislature honestly, although mis­takenly, believes that a university is a grade school, inwhich the teacher gives the answers to which none candissent.What will happen can be predicted on the basis ·of theWalgreen investigation, when any pretense of finding .in­doctrination was quickly abandoned as a hopeless effort.It willbe shown that the Dean of Students recognizes aCommunist Club as a student organization. It will beshawn that the American youth for Democracy, desig­nated as a "front" organization, was similarly recognized. The Communist Club, which lists eleven members, is rec­ognized because it is not unlawful to be a Communist,and because the University has somewhat different ideasthan the red-hunters as to how to handle the existenceof a miniscule minority of Communists. It will becharged that some faculty members belong to "front"organizations, that some were New Dealers, or perhaps,that they, too, look like Communists. As in 1935, therewill be a lot of hoopla about irrelevant matters, a lot ofheadlines, There will be no evidence, but lots of in­nuendo.This kind of legislative irresponsibility does the U ni­versity no good. Mr. Walgreen's $550,000 did not payfor the damage to the University's reputation with a largesection of the unthinking, uncritical public. This timethere won't even be partial restitution; the legislators arenot liberal with their own money.TRUSTEE to ALUMNUS - You would be the First to suFFerFrem an 'irate Iowa alumnus came a letter addressed to aclassmate- Trustee scathing his Red Alma Mater and urging thatthe Trustee resign from the Board. The Trustee's answer to hisclassmate may provide pause for others who are about to takepen in hand:Whoa, Petel Don't raise yom blood pressure worrying aboutthe University of Chicago. More than ever it is today generallyrecognized as the greatest. educational institution on God's foot­stool. A little diversion on the part of the state Ieglslature wil�lnot, in my opinion, halt its progress.'It is evident that you don't know either the University or thelegislature, while I claim a pretty thorough knowledge of theformer and some familiarity with the latter. You doubtless knowof my continued and intimate association with the University.You probably do not know that, for forty years, I have been anactive participant in Republican party affairs and, among otherthings, have attended many sessions and committee meerings ofthe Illinois legislature.First, let me set you straight on one subject. -The University,does not allow any political indoctrination in the class roomsand I have heard of none. So far as I am able to ascertain, thereis not a single Communist on the faculty and, at last count,there were twelve Communist students out of an enrollment of. approximately eight thousand.How does it come that you swallow all that guff about radi­calism at the University after what happened at the last legis­lative investigation in 193-5? If others would be as profitable asthat one, I'd like to have them annually. You may rememberthat Charles Walgreen helped to investigate it and then turnedaround and gave the University a ffilalf-mHlion dollars. In addi­tion, we received other sizable donations because we stood by ourgwns and, like the Chicago Tribune, refused to be intimidated.Don't kid yourself for a moment that the Trustees don't knowwhat is going on. Sure, our opinions and those of some facultymembers are divergent hut they have as much right to theirsas we have to ours. This is still a free country where everyonemay have his say :as long as it is within the law and in goodtaste. This applies just as much to a university professor as to. a corporation executive, a politician, a chair-warmer" or a barber.Why you reactionaries want to stifle free speech is beyond mycomprehension as you would he the first to suffer under the ban.Have you so soon forgotten how it worked under the WagnerBill when employers were forbidden to talk to their employeessAt present there are thirty-four members on the Board ofTrustees. Off-hand I'd say that three-fourths are Republicans andone-fourth Democrats. As fellow travelers you would hardlyclassify such rugged individualists as the presidents of the FirstNational and the Harris, Trust banks, tbe chairman of Weyer­haeuser Corporation, the president of Sears, Roebuck, etc. Do youthink that men of that type would tolerate subversive activitieson the campus? Yes, Pete, forget the occasional squib in the newspapers aboutthe faculty member who expresses a sentiment contrary to yoursand mine and think of the University of Chicago as the institu­tion which, for over fifty years, has - dared to pioneer in the fieldof education.Think of its introduction of a graduate school, abolition of theclass system, complete co-education, college, full-time medical fac­ulty, full-time professors, the first educational radio program,abolition of required class attendance, comprehensive examina­tions, and numerous other innovations - many of which are takenfor granted today.I Crimson quotes"A Spanish bull and an American college alumnusmake the same mistake when they put their headsdown and charge blindly every time they think theysee something red being waved at them."

T ,was lively back in April 193"5, Drugstore magnateCharles H. Walgreen withdrew his niece from the Uni­versity; there were "communistic influences to which shewas insidiously exposed." The Illinois Sena te decidedto investigate "subversive communistic teachings and ideasadvocating the violent overthrow of the established formof government" at the University. President Hutchinsannounced the University's willingness to cooperate withthe five-member investigating committee, and the hear­ings began.There were three sessions. The principal officers ofthe University attended all of the hearings. All documentscalled for, such as files of the DAILY MAROON, werepromptly supplied, and outlines of 161 courses dealingwith the social sciences were offered for the committee'sinformation.At the first hearing, President Hutchins'reminded thecommittee: "The University cannot, of course, have aprofessor who commits illegal acts, Under the laws ofIllinois, it is illegal to advocate the overthrow of the gov­ernment by violence. 'The University would, therefore,dismiss any professor who, before an appropriate tribunal,was proved to have advocated the overthrow of thegovernment by violence. Anyone who thinks. that ourfaculty are doing so should inform the State's Attorneyso that a prosecution may be started.".No such "informing" took place. But it took the com­mittee 125,000 words of testimony to conclude thatnone was warranted. In the meantime, the charges andrebuttals were delivered by a distinguished and diversecast:Mr. Walgreen was to testify that his niece, LucilleNorton, had overheard Professor Schuman say he "be­lieved in free l-ove for himself'," and! it was Mr. Walgreen'sunderstanding .that "free love" was a tenet of communism.Moreover, there seemed to be "more study of communismthan of the American government." .Professor Charles E. Merriam, speaking of the politicalconvictions of his former student and faculty member,Frederick Schuman, commented: "He is not a Com­munist, or a Socialist. There are doubtless some whothink badly of him for voting' for Roosevelt in thelast election, but I am unable to regard that. as sub­versive or unconstitutional."The "free love" quotation was based on a humorousremark made not in the classroom but at the conclusionof a debate for the purpose of turning aside an irrelevantremark and proceeding with serious discussion. Answeringthe charge at its own level, Mr. Merriam said that"Mr. Schuman and his wife had two fine fat babies."Professor Schuman on his views of the Soviet government:"I am opposed to dictatorship in all forms. Since thatis a dictatorship and not democracy, I am on that groundopposed to it. .Professor Harry Gideonse, then in charge of the Secia]Science survey courses' in the' college, analyzed the 5,987pages of indispensable reading listed in the syllabus ofSocial Science 1. He found that only 55 pages weredescriptive of communism; that 'half of the reading in the first quarter and almost all of the reading in thethird quarter were devoted' to €Ontemporary American,institutions; that of 195 optional readings listed, onlythree were concerned with ccmmumsm, Pointing outthat readings from Karl Marx had been a standard assign­ment in American colleges for 20 years, he concluded thatif anything might be. considered "insidious" it must befrom his own lectures, and his last political enthusiasmhad been Al Smith.Professor Robert Lovett was called to testify. (A fewextracts from the New Russia's Primer had been usedalong with dozens of other quotations as targets for criti­cal analysis in the Freshman English course.) The pro­fessor recalled President Harper's assurance that theUniversity stood for freedom of investigation, of opinionand of speech, subject to good taste and general attitude,and concluded that the University had been undeviatingin that position ever since. He regarded the Oxford oathas the "individual equivalent of the Kellogg Pact" andreiterated the resolution he made after his son was killedat Belleau Wood: he would do everything in his power to.. prevent a recurrence of such a tragedy. In the event ofwar he would defend conscientious objectors, but wouldnot advise any individual. Moreover, he had never usedhis classroom as a place for expression of his own views.Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling, of THE RED NETWORK fame,handed the committee a pamphlet entitled "How Redis the University of Chicago?" and, as a clue to the-hue, mentioned President Hutchins' "connections with theMoscow Summer School." . (He was an adviser to theInstitute of International Education, which arranged forsummer sessions for American students in 21 countries,including Russia.)Hulen Carroll, the student who headed the' anti-radicalPublic Policy Association on campus until its leadershipand chauvinistic policies alienated the student support,made his allegations: the administration had broughtabout his organization's demise because it was too"patriotic"; a professor in class had criticized the theoryof racial purity; the "injustices of the present system[were being] unduly stressed" in the classroom.The committee report appeared in the Senate journalon June 26th. It was in several sections. The majorityreport was signed by four of the five committee membersand reached two main conclusions: (1) that the existingsedition laws of Illinois were adequate to restrain peoplefrom advocating violent <overthrow of the government;(2) that violations of these sedition laws should be re­ported to the State's Attorney of the appropriate c�unty.Regarding the specific charges of "communistic teach­ings" at the University, the majority report decided that"all oral testimony offered by Mr. Walgreen and hiswitnesses did not prove the charges against the Uni­versity," and that the University witnesses "directly con­tradicted the testimony presented by Mr. Walgreen andhis witnesses."In a supplementary statement signed by SenatorsRichey, Graham and Barbour, the question was asked:Has the University of Chicago or any of its professors. violated either the letter or the spirit of the law? Theyconcluded: "The answer to this question must be inthe negative. . . . The University social science depart­ment is conducted along recognized, propel' lines pro­viding for the instruction of students in political and7,THE UNIVERSITY OF: CHICAGO MAGAZINEsocial science, in the history of the various forms of govern­ment throughout the world,"But there were jarring notes. The majority reportcensured Professor Lovett, not for being a communist oran advocate of violent overthrow of the government, butbecause he had "pursued an unpatriotic course of con­duct in his activities outside the University"; that manyof his "co-workers" were "undesirables" ; and that hisreference in a letter to all governments as rotten was evi­dence of his "disloyal conduct."The committee report provoked Howard VincentO'Brien, Chicago Daily News columnist, to write: "Thestones now being cast at him are cast by strangers. Therehas never been so much as a pebble from those whoknow him .... Creatures with the moral standards of astarving wolf are allowed to go peaceably about theiroccasions, while a rnan like Lovett, whose life is as nearan expression of the Sermon on the Mount as one islikely to encounter in this curious salad of practice andpreachment, is invited to . drink the hemlock."A minority report filed. by Senator Charles Baker isbest described by a supplementary paragraph signed bySenators Graham, Hickman and Fribley: "The report ...is a discussion of differences between capitalists and thelaboring class of people. It bids for publicity in. threeof the metropolitan papers of Chicago. It IS not based on evidence offered at the hearings of the committee.It suggests the members of the faculty of the Universityof Chicago should teach partisan ideas of government.The report of Senator Baker was delivered to the pressbefore it was submitted to the other members of thecommittee and before it was filed."In the opinion of President Hutchins the net effect ofthe investigation had done the 1!niversity no harm, per­haps some good.It convinced Senators Richey, Graham and Barbourthat "one of the greatest safeguards for the perpetuationof American idealism, and American institutions lies inthe absolute scholastic freedom in our universities andthat the University of Chicago is an admirable exampleof how that freedom should be exercised. Without advo­cating any philosophy of government other than our own,it presents to its students a true picture of forms andphilosophies of government, past and present, thus prepar-. ing their minds for a better understanding and, there­fore, a higher appreciation of governmental values that wecherish in America."It convinced Charles H. Walgreen that the Universitywas a safe investment for training "outstanding studentsof American institutions," arid for· conducting publiclectures to "strengthen American idealism through greaterunderstanding of American traditions and institutions."The Chicago Round Tab'le Looks at the Broyles BillsIt was the Broyles Bills at Springfield that set off the chain.reactions which now threaten 10 explode on the Mid'way. The, University of Chicago Round Table (NBC) on March 13 was:"Gui!lty by' Assoriation." The panel was law professors Levi andSharp, from Chicago, and Nathanson from Northwestern. Much0f their discussion was pertinent to these bills and to the Uni­versity's position. We are here limited to extracts. The completetext �f the broadcast, as well as the Broyles BiI1� 152 through 156,are printed in the transcript which you can secure for IOc fromour Radio Office.. Mr. :Levi: Well, I do not think that we should forget the "clearand present danger" test. It is a test which is intended toremind us that the theory of revolution is part and parcelof the American system. It was advocated by the founders ofthis republic, and we really do believe in people's stressing theright of revolution-at least unless there is a "clear and presentdanger" that they �ay succeed.Mr. Nathanson: I would like to quote a famous statemen twhich Jefferson made when he came into office a.fter theunfortunate experiences with the Alien and Sedition Laws. Hesaid, "If there be among us any who wish, to dissolve thisunion or to change its republican form of government, let themstand -undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which errorof opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combatit." If in those infant years of the republic we could afford totake such a position, can we net afford to take it now, in allour strength?Mr:. Sharp: Of course, we would all recognize that there aresome limits. No state which is worthy 'of the name will standand allow its processes to be interfered with by minority groJilpsor any other groups.Mr. Levi: That is the "clear 'and present danger" test. Butthe point is that we are not to get panicky. The presumption isthat we will let them talk and that we will let them teach.Mr. Sharp: Just a handful of people are involved, after aU-ahu�dred thousand American Communists is the highest estimate that anybody makes. It does not amount to anything on thenational scene.Mr. Levi: Now, it seems to me that the . Broyles Bills, pendingin the Illinois legislature, are unconstitutional and that theyreally forget this problem of "clear and present danger."Mr. Sharp: The Broyles Bills, which are before the legislaturehere in Illinois, are like bills before legislatures in other states-in New York and Maryland-punishing membership in Com­munist organizations and Communist front organizations. Thesebills are bad on all sorts of grounds. The "clear and presentdanger test" is only one.• • •Mr. Levi: Well, now, look how far they do go. One of thebills would, I think, cause the dismissal of a teacher who justexplained such doctrines as communism, anarchism, the theoryof the church-controlled state, or the supremacy of the naturallaw. I do, not know; under that bill, whether you can teachSt. Thomas.Another bill makes :it a crime to pay dues to an organizationwhich is called "a Communist front organization" in the bill andwhich is defined really as an organization which looks to bequite innocent. 'The person who pays dues does not know thatit is a Communist front organization. It may look to himjust Hike a veteran's organization.• • •Mr. Sharp: There was a time when public education was con­sidered Socialistic and the TVA and income tax.Mr� Nathanson: And certainly municipal ownership of publicutilities.Mr. Sharp: See what a pyramiding you have here, too. Youstart with an organization whose leaders and organizers canbarely be punished for what they do-it is very doubtful whetherthey can be .punished, constitutionally, under the "clear and(Conttnued on Page 11)NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES" " I 1"8 getting so you can't tell some operating rooms. from the stage of Carnegie Hall," Steven M.Spencer, Saturday Evening Post associate editor,wrote in a recent article "Sing Me to Sleep, Doctor,"featuring the University of Chicago."You hear a Mozart sonata as they stick a needle intoyour spine, and Beethoven's Fifth as they' roll you overon your back."This surgical serenading," continues Spencer, "is seri­ous effort by experts in anesthesia to soften the emotionalshock of operations and to assure a smoother and morerapid convalescence." .The most elaborate program of "serving symphonieswith ether" is being carried on at the University of Chi­cago Clinics under a grant from the Office of Naval Re­search. Modern wire and tape recorders were incorpo­rated in the anesthesia by Dr. Huberta M. Livingstone,associate professor of surgery, and her associate, Dr. Ger­aldine A. Light, when Joe Willard, veteran, now on thestaff of the Chicago Musical CoUege, suggested soft musicfor patients under a spinal anesthetic, and set up a taperecorder that would play all day without attention.The night before the operation, Spencer writes in thearticle, the anesthesiologist goes to the patient's room,slips to the bedside, pencil poised over his chart booklike an attentive waiter about to take an order, and asks"What kind of music will you have, sir? We have clas­sical, semiclassical, popular, and children's music andstories."After recovering from the shock of such unexpectedservice, the patient makes his choice-s-more than half ofthose at Albert Merritt Billings pick semiclassical, 30 percent say popular and only 9 per cent classical.In the "prep" room, where the patient is prepared forsurgery, the anesthetist turns on the loudspeaker, andwhen the patient is ready for the operating room-assum­ing he is under a "spinal"-light plastic stethoscope-typeearpieces are fitted over his head and the. music turnedto "silent." This means that only the patient hears it,although the anesthetist may monitor it to keep check onthe volume.The surgical sonatas have .been played for almost everytype of operation. They have been unusually helpful topeptic-ulcer patients, who are already so tense and nerv­ous that routine medical sedatives are not very effective.The music does a much: better job of quieting them downprior to anesthesia.A large proportion of the abdominal operations atBilllngs Hospital are done under spinal anesthesia, whichleaves the patients conscious. Surgeons like the musicin this situation because they are then free to talk abouttheir work as they go along-a necessary procedure in a BY JEANNETTE LOWREYteaching hospital-without fear of upsetting the subjectof their discussion. The patient's ears are tuned only' to.. the music, arid he can't hear the doctors.In summarizing the response of the first 130 patientsprovided with music, Dr. Livingstone and her associatesfound that 76 per cent had been enthusiastic about it.Many said they thought "it was wonderful that a hospitalwould go to so much trouble to make things pleasant forus," and that the music had definitely relieved theiranxiety. Twelve per cent of the patients were mildlyin favor, 7 per cent were indifferent and 5 per cent saidthey disliked it. Most of those in the last category hadbeen opposed to the music simply because it preventedthem from hearing what the doctors were saying aboutthem.More about the budget"Financing of current activities from reserves, andconstruction of buildings from free funds functioningas endowment obviously can not continue very longif the University is to remain financially 'sound,'! Chan­cellor Robert M. Hutchins said in discussing the report.-"But in many past years, from, Dr. Harper's timethrough the depression, the University has had the con­fidence that if it was necessary to sustain temporary defi­cits to demonstrate the excellence of its work, the moneyit needed would he provided."Establishment of the three institutes for nuclear re­search, radiobiology, and biophysics, and metals, becauseof their- importance to the welfare of the country, couldnot wait until funds were available. Likewise, the Uni­versity's established research in medicine, particularlyin cance�, urgently concerns the well being of the nation,and must continue without interruption."The conso[ich,ted budget of the University 'consists ofthree parts: ( 1 ) the· regular section, covering normaleducational and research activities; (2) restricted ex­pendable funds, a category including gifts for designatedcurrent purposes, and contract funds from the U. S.government; and (3) auxiliary enterprises, such as resi­dence halls, dining rooms, and bookstores.Income under the regular budget was $15,453,000last year, and expenditures were $15,640,000, both thehighest in the University's history, expenditures being$2,312,000 or 17 percent, more than in the precedingyear.Principal items of income under the regular budgetwere student fees, $5,119,000, 33.1 percent; endowmentincome, $4,080,367, 26.4 percent; patient fees, $3,825.,000,24.8. percent.Under the classification of restricted expendable funds,the University <expended $11,983,O�O, of which $10,533, ..9Isince it normally takes months or sometimes years to IIdetermine the age 'Of a single sample-and then theconclusions are based on "circumstantial" evidence.

So there is adefinite ratio between age and radioactivity."Since the exact order of mankind's existence has neverbeen determined exactly, a radioactive calendar maysolve the chronology of prehistoric man.The research project was supported lin part by theViking Fund, Incorporated.10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE000 was received from the U.

Libbyof the Institute for Nuclear Studies.Proof that all living matter-including humans-oon­tains radioactive carbon in a constant amount was dis­covered by Professor Libby and his associates. E. C,Anderson and J. R. Reynolds in a two-year experimentalproject.The basic discovery, which can be. used to determinethe ages of specimens from 2,000 to 30,000 years old,not only opens new avenues for archaeologists to datesamples, but is expected to lay the foundation for aseries of experiments beneficial to science and industry.Libby began the experiment on the theory that cosmicrays shooting through space must form radiocarbon whenthey collided with atoms in the invisible ocean of nitro­gen which. forms the 'Outer rings of the earth's atmosphere.The carbon, he believed,. should be absorbed by livingmatter such as' grain, grass and -vegetables and then hetransferred 10 humans and animals through food.Twenty samples from all over the world, 'One of whichwas more than 4,600, years old, were tested. on a uniquecounting device developed for. the project by Libby. Thedevice, a Geiger counter "shell," eliminates about 97percent of the cosmic rays that normally would drownout the faint amount of radiocarbon in a sample.His theory was confirmed last fall in a study. of bio­methane produced by the Baltimore sewage disposalplant. Subsequently, specimens were checked from suchdiverse -dimates as the Antarctic, Florida, Mt. Wilson,New Mexico; Europe, Africa, Near East and the U ni-versityof Chicago campus. .' .�this new method isof i-ntense Interest to archaeologists Oueen of them allWhen University of Chicago students joined in thegrand march at the Washington Promenade in the StevensHotel ballroom to honor their queen, Miss Susan Cullen,a third-year student in the College, they added another- chapter to a traditionwhich many of theirgrandparents helped tobegin..First planned in 1893when the University wasfive m 0 nth sold, theWashington Prom has al­ways been the climax ofthe campus social season.The first Prom was heldin 1894 in the old DelPrado Hotel, which' stoodwhere the InternationalMiss Cullen House is now located.The 1949 activities, which this year extended throughthe weekend, began with a musical revue lampooningMaroon life.

With mere guilty intention, divorcedfrom an overt act Of outward manifestation thereof" the law doesnot concern itself."In 1920 an attack upon unpopular groups was opposed byCharles Evans Hughes, later chief justice of the United StatesSupreme Court. He said: "... it is of the essence of. the institutionsof liberty that it be recognized that guilt is personal and cannotbe attributed to the holding of opinion or to mere intent in theabsence of overt acts ... .''-In New York at that time laws were passed imposing broadand vague loyalty tests on teachers. Three years later, GovernorAlfred Smith took office and insisted upon the repeal of thoselaws. In signing the bins repealing, the laws he said:: "They arerepugnant to the ideals of American democracy."In 1943 a judgment cancelling a certificate of citizenship formembership in the Communist party was reversed by the SupremeCourt of the Unirted States.. Speaking for the. Court, Mr. JusticeMurphy said: "... under our traditions, beliefs are personal andnot a matter of mere association .... "In 1945, concurring in an opinion that the government hadnot proved its case for the deportation of Harry Bridges, Mr.Justice Murphy said: "The doctrine of personal guilt is, oneof. the most fundamental principles of our jurisprudence.

VIRUS FIGHTERS-2500 STRONGIN mid-January, the Student Health Service circulateda notice among all the University dormitories. Out­breaks of influenza had been reported in Italy andFrance, and a few cases had been detected in militarypersonnel in this country. Any student wishing to protecthimself against the "likelihood" of a Midway epidemicneed only step up and he counted. By the end of themonth, more than 1200 volunteers had been injected with1 cc. of the latest influenza vaccine on the market; 1300more had volunteered as controls.Whether they realized it or not, those students weredoing more than just serving themselves. They weretaking part in the greatest offensive against influenzaever launched by the medical world. For behind the In­fluenza Detection Service recently inaugurated in theUniversity clinics, is the story of the World Health Or­ganization's influenza program in action.Many factors weighed heavily in the United' StatesPublic Health decision to set up the influenza watchstation em campus. There were the excellent researchfacilities, the well-trained medical staff, and the dis tin­guished work of the man appointed to direct the Influ­enza Detection Service, Dr. Clayton q. Loosli. Duringthe war he had served as consultant to the Secretary ofWar and as a member of the Surgeon General's Commis­sion on Air-borne Infections. Since his return to theMidway in 1946 he' has headed the Student HealthService and directed the influenza experiments conductedcontinuously on campus during the last two and half years.But the good doctor, who should know, steps back andsays it was the students' response to the University's re­search that finally tipped the scales. This year's turn­out was no exception to the grand total of bare armsv injected during each of the three experiments in the past.And this is nothing but as it should be, for as the directorreasons:"The student knows he's getting good medical servicefrom the University. And once the student knows that,he'll gladly cooperate with any research that will makethat care even better."At any rate, the effect of the response has projectedbenefits beyond the student body to the larger populationgroups as well. It has enabled the laboratory staff tostudy in microcosm all the problems of control of con­tagious diseases multiplied many -times 'over in the largerworld community.12THE UNIVERSITY OF CHIGAGO MAGAZINEStudent turnout at the Influehza Detec­tion Service is giv,ilng the World Health Or­ganization Influenza Proqrern a reall shot inthe arm.And so it was natural that the University laboratorieswere chosen as a listening post in a world-wide hookupof scientific research.The W, H. O. influenza program in operation is aneffective network for transmitting the newest data on thedreaded disease. It is a program to which the best govern­mental and private laboratories in the world are tunedin. With world headquarters at the National Institute forMedical Research in London, and various informationcenters in each participating nation, it is a truly reliablesystem of medical intelligence.How the University laboratory fits into that system isindicative of the careful forethought, dose coordination,and timely reporting characteristic at all levels of theprogram. Terse reports tracing the progress of the mostrecent incidence of the disease come daily to the desk ofthe director of the Midway station. Sent out by the Pub­lic Health Service Influenza Information Center atBethesda, they are compilations of cablegrams, trans­oceanic calls, and airmail letters received by the. Londoncenter from cooperating laboratories scattered all overthe map. They are the danger signals that alert thecampus laboratory to circulate notices like the one postedon the bulletin boards this past January.But the Midway watch station could be the one toflash the red light, as well. If an outbreak of a diseasesuspected to be influenza should be recognized among theUniversity community, it would sound the alert. TheBethesda information center would be notified of the local 13outbreak and the results of the preliininary serologicaltests would' accompany that news. Meanwhile, as theprogress of the Midway epidemic :vas beamed to everyother laboratory in the network, the real detecting jobof the campus laboratory would begin.Blood tests before and two weeks after vaccinationwould be first on .the list. The blood samples of the sus­pected cases of influenza would support or contradict thetentative diagnosis. The tests of the students taking theprecaution of being vaccinated would reveal further valu­able medical data. The pre-vaccination samples wouldtell if the student had been attacked previously by a re­lated virus strain and so been able to build up immunityagainst the current variety. A comparison of the beforeand after vaccination samples would determine immunityresponse.Throat washings of the affected students would be in­jected immediately into two-day-old chick embryos.Forty-eight hours later the task of isolating the virusstrains from the cultures could begin.Once the strains were isolated, they would be sent to'the National Influenza Strain Center at Long Island Col­lege of Medicine for complete antigenic analysis. Finally,appropriate strains of the virus would be included incommercial vaccine available to combat the disease' notonly on the campus, but wherever an epidemic caused bythe same virus should strike.The ultimate aim of all this activity would be a vaccineof such broad antigenic coverage that it would apply atall times regardless of the differences in virus strains. That.is the ideal. The reality is a program still far from thatgoal. But constant research, pooling of knowledge andcoordinated offensives are moving the program ever closerto that end.The first epidemic research conducted .at the Universitylaboratory showed progress toward that objective. In thefall of 1946, when periodicity studies predicted an out­break would occur, tests were made to prove the effective­ness of vaccines employed with great success by the Army(Continued on Page 15)Evaluating the vaccine is one of the most importal1_tsteps in the virology study. �r.

Almost 40 per cent of that total were vaccinated.The remainder served as controls.The result of that experiment proved that the com­bined influenza A and B virus vaccine which workedmagic in the previous epidemic was' as ineffective as asaline solution in coping with the 1946-1947 variety. Sincethat episode, an operative vaccine 'has been developed bythe Army which incorporates the mysterious FM -1 strainresponsible for the Chicago siege. The vaccine given thestudent body this year contained a mixture of strainsisolated in the 1943, 1945 and 1947 outbreaks. The studynow under way at the Midway station aims at evaluatingthis latest vaccine developed by the Army.With each such discovery, the stockpile of medicalknowledge grows higher and the world's defenses againstthe disease more secure.

Constitu­tional 'Convention was a Virginia Draft, and a Pennsyl­vania Draft, and others. The Austrian Constitution, totake a random example of recent times" was the work ofone man, Professor Kelsen, which was scrutinized andaccepted by a representative constituent assembly, TheWeimar Constituent Assembly worked on the draft ofDr. Preuss; the new Palestinian constituent assembly'slabor is focused on a text by Dr. Leo Kohn.It was natural, hence, that after some preliminarytheoretical discussion and documentation-about the na­ture of Federalism, or the aims of World Government­the Committee To Frame" a World Constitution steppedover to that generally accepted method. Already at thefourth meeting, a "Draft B" was introduced by the secre­tary, as "something to shoot at." This Draft was followedsoon by a '''Draft G,'" then by Drafts III, IV, and V.Elements of these new drafts were incorporated in Draft Bwhich drew inspiration also from the. U. S., Swiss, Russian,Spanish, Weimar, Swedish, Chinese constitutions, under­went six rewritings and eventually emerged victoriously.A Constitution 'is) likewise, a political manifesto. Itsinstitutions, regulations, checks and balances do not op­erate in a vacuum hut are inspired by a specific philosoph­ical and political creed. There are communist and Catholicand socialist constitutions. Before the last French Con­stituent Assembly, there were seven different drafts, ex­pressing seven different political creeds. FIXED BOUDEBATABLETENTATIVE MAP OF NINECONSTITUTIONfIfor theWORLDBy ELISABETH MANN BORGESE16LECTORAL REG10N$The political tendencies expressed in the "ChicagoPlan" have been attacked .violently both from the leftand the right. The Kremlin stigmatized the document,repeatedly, as. Western imperialism and Wall S'treet prop­aganda; the Chicago Tribune was enraged, on the con­trary, by its "communist" content. This proves, if anyproof were needed, that the document is neither com­munist nor Western imperialist. Written for the wholeworld, the Constitution tries to find a synthesis of illhigher creeds and systems. There is Christianity andthere is Hinduism; there is. free enterprise and there issocialism and economic planning. There is democracyand aristocracy. The inspiration behind it all may be de­fined as Social Humanism.A prominent public relations man recently sought someclarification on the mutual relationship between groupslike the Committee To Frame a World Constitution and,say, Clarence Streit's Federal Union. During the ensuingpatient explanations on differences and contrasts, his. eyesdilated in hilarious stupefaction. World federalists areworld, federalists, in his opinion. He came to us to seeworld federalists with the same expectation he might havegone to the zoo to see hippopotamuses, When hippopot­amuses start fighting' among themselves, it is beyond his, comprehension and interest..We do not want to initiate our readers here into thehippopotamuses' wranglings. May it suffice to indicatethat there are two main tendencies, in the world govern­ment movement in general, which reflected themselvesalso within the Committee and determined the course ofits debates. One tendency aims at a world government restrictedin scope, and if need be, in space. Its structure shouldimpose on the world but a minimum of change'; itspowers should be limited to prevent war. Security is itsonly aim. If all countries could not be included at once, astart could be made with those ready to co-operate underthose terms.According to the other tendency, the world is indivisi­ble and one; security as a goal is attractive to that smallpart only which has something to keep secure; the over­whelming majority of mankind wants, more than security,justice. Powers adequate to prevent war include powersadequate to cope with the causes of war; which means,among other things, competence in social and economiclegislation.This contrast was discussed most thoroughly and sys­tematically .. A document entitled "Of Atomic Fear andTwo Utopias" tilted the balance in favor of the secondview. Hence, the Constitution's emphasis is based, evenmore than on security, on justice.Security is sought in the establishment, obviously, ofarmament monopoly in the hands of the world govern­ment, reducing- national and local armed forces to thelevel required for internal policing. Security, less obvi­ously, implies the capability, on the part of the worldgovernment) to act swiftly in case of sedition or re­bellion ; on the other hand, it implies, as far as thepeople and the states are concerned, a guarantee againstthe danger of military dictatorship (pretorianism) in theform of world government. To meet both these chal­lenges, the Chicago Plan provides for a- Chamber ofGuardians. The Executive needs the approval of thisChamber for any military action; since the Chamber issmall (seven mt?mbers,' of whom the Chief Executive isone), and in permanent session, prompt action is assured.On . the other hand the "guardians" are chosen by theGrand Tribunal (judicial) and the Council (legislative)in joint session, with painstaking provisions guaranteeingfair representation of all parts of the world, and disqual­ifying any military personnel from the office of Guardian;in other words, . all .possible care' is taken to prevent anymisuse of the armed forces under the control of theChamber of Guardians, an organ which combines execu­tive function with legislative and judicial responsibilitiesin a unique way.Justice, on the other hand, in its threefold aspect ofsocial, racial and economic justice, is. striven for in avery comprehensive Bill of Rights which, needless to say,is not expected to be enforced from one day to the otherbut, at least in so far as economic rights are concerned,will be enforced "according to varying circumstances oftimes and places as the local law may direct."The Chicago Plan's Bill of Rights is hardly more in­elusive than the recently adopted Bill of Rights of theU. N. The basic difference between the two lies only inthe fact that the latter cannot. be 'enforced in any way18 THE UNIVERSITY OF' CHICAGO MAGAZINEas long as the U.N. is not able to enforce anything, whilethe. Chicago Plan provides for enforcement measures.'Phe most interesting of such enforcement measures isin the person of. the Tribune of the People whose dutyis, defined in article 27 of the Constitution. "It shall bethe office and function of the Tribune of the People to'defend the natural and civil rights of individuals andgroups against violation or neglect by the World Govern­ment or any of its component units; to further anddemand, as a World Attorney before the World Republic,the observance of the letter and spirit of this Constitution;and to promote thereby, in the spirit of its Preamble andDeclaration of Duties and Rights, the attainment of thegoals set to the progress of mankind by the efforts ofthe ages."Though the office and title of the' Tribune of thePeople may have some literary or surprising flavor toAmerican readers, this institution, rooted in the remotepast of the history of government both in the- orient andin the occident, has survived and proved its viability andusefulness also in modern constitutions. The Chinese Con­stitution of 1947 establishes an elected "Control Yuan"as "the highest organ of control of the state," whichexercises "the powers of consent, impeachment, rectifica­tion and auditing." The Swedish Constitution of 1909provides for the office of a "J ustitie Ombudsman;" the"moderator between King and People," who protects thepeople's rights and freedoms against any overbearing ornegligence from the part of the authorities. This is alsothe function of the Tribune of the People.Another provision, which has often been criticized asremoving world government from the practically attain­'able minimum into the realm of the utopian maximum, isthat the Federal Government is not based on the States,as is, e.g. the Swiss Government on the' Cantons; or theAmerican on the forty-eight states; instead, between thestates and world government the constitution establishesintermediate entities, grouping the extant states-overseventy-into nine "Regions"* of cultural" economic and(in all cases but one). geographic cohesion.The reasons for. adopting this regional set-up-whichseemingly complicates and delays the establishment ofWorld Government-are manifold but convergent.On the one hand, it afforded a way out of the Impassecreated by the problem of representation in a worldlegislature. On the other hand, it seemed to fulfill ahistorical trend which has become so strong that it shouldnot be ignored any longer.-Concerning the problem of representation, the Com­mittee discarded from the.outset the method, adopted bythe League of Nations or the U.N., of having one votefor each state, whether large as China or tiny as Nica-*The Regions are: Europe; the English-speaking nations (Atlan­tis); Russia' and her associates (Eurasia); India;� China, Japan,Korea (Asia Major); Indochina, Indonesia, with the Mid- and SouthPacific Islands (Austrasia); Latin America (Columbia); the Nearand Middle East (Afrasia); Africa, South of the Sahara" with orWithout the Union of South Africa (Africa). ragua. This method follows from the principle of the.equal sovereignty of the states, which must be modifiedin any world state. It does not reflect in any way thetrends and forces of the world in which we live ..A second principle, apportioning the states' representa­tion according to their numbers in population, was like­wise soon discarded as unrealistic, and unacceptable. Forone thing, a world legislature composed of one represen­tative for the smalles-t state (Iceland, at the present time) ,and proportionate multiples for the larger and largestones would run into the thousands: a mass too unwieldyto do effective business. Second, the disproportion be­tween the representation of, say, the U.S. on the onehand and China. and India on the other, would be asource of preoccupation, to put it mildly, for both sidesconcerned.Without going into the technical discussion of thethree or four alternative proposals that were taken upand discarded by the Committee, it becomes immediatelydear that the problem of representation, which was oneof the thorniest for the fathers of the American Consti­tution=-who had to deal with only thirteen states and a1: 16 proportion, approximately, between the largest' andthe smallest-had assumed unprecedented dimensions ina world of over seventy sovereign states and a 1: 3,500proportion between the smallest (Iceland) and the largest(China). The regional set-up, reducing the number tonine and the ratio to 1: 7, seemed a promising way out.From the historical angle, the nation state, as it hasa beginning, so will it have an end. Economic develop­ments have made the small independent riation state obso­lete; progress in communications stresses the wider cul­tural interrelations. Total war, steamrolling whole con­tinents, has left the states in a depression from whichthey cannot even attempt to recover singlehandedly.What has heen done may be overcome; it cannot beundone. Events in Europe are most telling in thisdirection.The Chicago Plan is not the only nor the first pro­posal for a regional organization of world government.But there isone basic difference between our proposal andall others in this direction. Ely Culbertson's Constitution,e.g., which has been so much discussed in this country, es­tablishes, the regions as full grown economic and politicalorganisms, with governments and constitutions of theirown, on which basis he then founds his world government.In the opinion of the Chicago Committee, this approachis unrealistic. The regions are in the making, but theydo not. yet exist politically. The Chicago Plan, accord­ingly, does not presuppose the regions as alreadyorgan­ized, across oceans and continents. It establishes them at'an intermediate level, called in the Constitution "theFederal Conv:ention," 'at which level regional organiza­tion becomes feasible without any technical difficulty. TheFederal Convention is, composed 'of delegates from thestates, the political realities of today, each state being(Continued on Page 20)VIE started to say that Jay Christ (Busi­N ness Law) has been a man of manyIdes since he left his Illinois Central tele-....

(Art. 5JEach Electoral College then nominates 27 candidatesfor the Council (Legislature); whereupon the FederalConvention, reunited in plenary session, elects from thoselists nine Councillors for each Region.

They rangedin age from 24 to 3 I. Only one had had anyprevious experience in our field, and this, waslimited to a few months. They began theirassociation with us by taking our training course.By the end of their first year � in a job thatput them on their own, and in which they weretheir own masters _ they had each written from$250,000 to $380,000 of life insurance. Their incomes ranged from $353'2 to $5645. Withrenewal commissions, first-year earnings willrange from $5824 to $9702. The average: $7409.Four of these men, mind you, had no previousexperience selling life insurance. Yet they allmade a Hying start. And their financial futuresare as unlimited as their individual ability,energy, and initiative.In addition to high-average incomes, theyenjoy many other advantages.

He is a young writer, a linquist,and an accomplished pipe "smoker, but hislife has been shaped by a toy piccolo thatcost a dime.Mr. Lieber's whistle, big as a fountainpen and affectionately called Everflat, rob­bed him of an army commission, put himin the Paul Whiteman band, and finallybrought to him the quiet, inner satisfactionof knowing' he is the world's greatest mu­sician-on the tin whistle. He is a quietman with a studious manner, successful inhis writings, but first to acknowledge that.life dangles between his cut-rate piccoloand his Phi Beta Kappa key.The reason Mr. Lieber plays the whistlebetter than anyone else is that he haspracticed it m01Ce. He has spent years per­fecting his technique on the instrument.His crowning achievement, perhaps, wasthe night $1.0.0,.0.00 worth of musical instru­ments were tuned to the off-key pitch of hisdime whistle" and a special arrangementwas written for a radio performance.Mr. � Lieber, never more than a' flute'sleng-th from his whistle; carried it throughthe war: 'When he was Cpl., Lieber .. in Eu­rope, he was; all set for "a 'field comniissiOhuntil he broke out in a hot chm:us in;'ithepresence " of his colonel. .Cpl, ctje,b��,', no]onlyidid. not getva commission, 'buf <he 'was' ,takenoff th� fnlisted II}f;P;'s pr<;>mo�ion list.Plainly, an unsl�ble soldier.

I can only play one whistlenow."This regression in music can be blamedon the makers of tin whistles and not ourhero. He can play but one because he hasbut one. In the past year he has searchedthe music stores and pawn shops, but foundno whistle worthy of his talent. He is nowplanning a trip to Europe, ostensibly towrite magazine stories, but also to searchfor a tin whistle.At times late at night, laboring over amagazine article, Mr. Lieber is brought upsharp by a fear which haunts each wakinghour-the possibility of losing his one re­maining tin piccolo.

At the midway, he made Phi BetaKappa, and later was the first winner of theSidney Howard Memorial Prize of $1,500.Mrs. Howard, let it be said, is late of thisinstitution also.
