Goodhart, October 30. In the

ondly, important social values
should be preserved by insuring"
freedom to individuals in the way
in which they spend incomes as
well as by insuring growth of in-
dividual initiative. Lastly, social
security should achieve as many
incidental’ economic advantages
as possible.
The social economist must face
the problem of determining the
level of security and provisions
under which security should be
available. The question of deter-
mining how the costs should be
spread between individuals in a
community and the determination
of the spread of costs over time
are the problems of finance which
must be dealt with. Selection of
appropriate administration agen-
cies to fulfill a social security pro-
gram is also necessary, said Mrs.
Burns.
There is a choice of conditions
under which social security bene-
fits should be available. There
may be statutory conditions
which establish fixed rates and
bases for aid, or there may be a
discretionary system whereby the

with the general confusion at
Shibe Park on Friday night as ap-
proximately 40,000 fresh air
fiends froze their toes in a three-
hour wait for President Roose-
velt’s speech.. A Bryn Mawr con-
tingent in bear-like raiment bun-
dled itself out to the stadium and
heckled and cheered among the
peanut shells and coke bottles in
the bleachers.
Less imaginative Bryn Mawr-
tyrs contented themselves with the

fident wench tried to convince re-
porters that her being on the staff
of the College News entitled her
to a seat in the White House
Press box right under the plat-
form. The roar of button sellers
and donation solicitors made the
stadium a madhouse, but the per-

anyone cheered, provided a wel-

The field was a confused mass
of humanity seething over the
folding chairs but kept in some
‘semblance of order by the mount-

Amalgamated Chorus, which tried
to sing the Ballad for Americans

end and the spectacle of the tre-

Aside from the fact that the heck-
lers were so well organized that
we couldn’t hear and the platform
was so far away that it was im-
possible to tell which of the ten
“million people clustered around
the microphone was the President,
it was a very fine speech.
Organizing our collective ice-

quite difficult and we longed for

$4037.50 Contributed —
The Activities Drive of the
Bryn Mawr League has so far
collected a total of $4037.50. This
amount will not nearly meet the
quota, but there are many pledges
which have not yet come in.
Rockefeller Hall has given the
highest sum, although only 179
out of the 89 undergraduates
contributed. Pembroke West runs
a close second, with a 100% rec-
ord, and a total of $586.00.
Rhoads North and South have
also given 100%, with totals of
$507.00 and $507.50 ‘respectively.
Wyndham is the only other hall
from which all ‘the students have
contributed, and the pledge is for
$148.75.
58 out of 64 have donated to the
drive from Merion Hall, and, their
total is $470.25. 79% of Den-
bigh have participated, with a
net result of $411.50.: Radnor
and the Spanish House together
include 15 out of 16 undergradu-
ates, and have given $107.75,
which is 76% of their quota. The
German House includes 2 gradu-
ate students, and has a total of
$87.75 in pledges.
The Non-Residents are the fur-

Dean Taylor Treats
Intolerance Problems
Miss Lily Ross Taylor, Dean
of the Graduate School, spoke on
Racial Intolerance at a conference
of collegiate women, organized
under the auspices of Cleveland
College to discuss Dangerous In-
tolerance Among Us.
The conference consisted of
delegates from eight eastern wo-
men’s colleges—Bryn Mawr, Vas-
sar, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Welles-
ley, Radcliffe, Barnard, and Con-
necticut College for Women. The
lecturers represented six of these
colleges, and discussed various
types of intolerance, such as re-
ligious and political, intolerant at-
titudes developing between man-
agement and labor, and between
intellectuals and non-intellectuals.
Miss Taylor discussed primar-
ily the Negro problem. She drew
some of her material from a re-
cent publication, An American
Dilemma, by Gunnar Myrdal,
which she considers to be one of
the best of recent books on the
subject. The problem was of spe-
cial interest in Cleveland, Miss
Taylor felt, since 2/3 of this city’s

orities.

Goodhart, October 28. As_ the
Prologue said in the Latin play,
Double Trouble, it was “the story
of two men with the same _han-
dles.” Evidently, the plan was
not only to bring Latin to the
modern playgoer’s level but also
to lower it to the point which
might make one jump up and
down and wipe one’s feet on the
ancients’ culture. And quoting
from Menaechmus II, “we smile
when we say this”.
Twins
It was a revelation to see Men-
aechmus I (Mary Lou Miles ’45)
and Menaechmus II (Alison Mer-
rill ’45) in action. Attired in
sandals laced with indelible lip-
stick, togas based with red bloom-
ers, and a money pouch which
dangled. in the manner of a spor-
ran (as Emily Kimbrough and
Cornelia Otis Skinner so aptly
described), the twins had a_ pot
and kettle resemblance.
Alison . Merrill gave a most
spontaneous performance as Men-
aechmus II. Her amusing take-
off of the air-plane with its wing
half-off made the play go “faster
and faster.” Mary Lou Miles
(Menaechmus I) scorned “Is you
is or Is you Aint” for the “an-
tique, cultured” “Mairzy Doats”,
aged and tempered by a_ Latin
rendition. She was: hampered by
the lack of punch lines; but drew
forth numerous guffaws in her
scene with the negligee.
With copious use of modern
slang, expressions, Kitty Rand
’45 gave a Bugs Bunny portrayal
as Peniculus (the Brush). Saun-
tering on the stage with carrots
in hand, Kitty munched smack-
ingly. Continually looking for a
table piled with “stuff so high
you have to stand upon your chair
to see over it,’ the brush profes-
sionally aroused the wife of Men-
aechmus I (played by Mary Vir-
ginia More ’45) to wails and in-
criminations. Mary Virginia
roamed the stage while suffering
the agonies of the deserted home-
maker and capably aroused _ the

Doorbell Ringing Reaches Vocational Level
As Students Take Up Torch for O’Rourke
Hallowe’en may have found a
few of the more daring undergrad-
uates ringing doorbells, but to a
number of politically-minded stud-
ents doorbell-ringing is no one-
night prank—it has become a voca-
tion. In the interests of Lieut.
(j.g.) Vernon O’Rourke, running
for Congress ftom the seventh dis-
trict, they are ringing doorbell
after doorbell and pounding innum-
erable pavements in Haverford and
Radnor townships.
Young, and if his campaign pic-
tures speak truly, handsome, Mr.
O’Rourke was formerly a professor
of political science at Swarthmore
College .and is at present “at sea.”
Against. him stands Republican
James Wolfendon, and against
Wolfendon, as the well-informed
|campaigners explain to those who
answer the doorbells, stands a 16-
year record in Congress during
which he did not put up one bill,
and indeed established the all-time
record for absenteeism. As com-
pared to Ham Fish’s record of 12
times of wrong-voting, Wolfendon
has been wrong 18 times, voting
against the Soldier Vote Bill, Lend-
Lease, and all regular Army and
Navy appropriations.
Spreading this gospel in the
neighboring vicinity, the cam-
paigners have been met wth such
questions as, “Are you doing this
because he looks like Robert Tay-
lor?” This, and even bitter refer-
ence to the “glamor boy” do not
deter the group, however. Daily, in
morning and afternoon shifts, they
approach housewives, asking them
if they have registered, telling
them how to split a ticket. Often,
their talking seems to make: little
impression, as when one woman

Stilwell’s: Recall’
The unfortunate schism that has arisen between General
Stilwell and Generalissimo Chiarig' Kai-shek contains an om-
inous threat that is aimed at a wider mark than the military
conduct of this war. It suggests what may be expected from
many nations, particularly those that are politically and cul-
turally different from our own, in the post-war world. In
this country it is difficult to see any excuse or logic for Chiang
Kai-shek’s stand, but we must beware of judging wholly by
our own standards.
As reported by Brooks Atkinson in The New York Times
of October 31, the charges made by both parties seem under-
standable by their own lights. Chiang Kai-shek justifies his
action in asking for Stilwell’s recall on the ground that he is
being subjugated and coerced by the American military or-
ganization. Stilwell, on the other hand, claims that Chiang
Kai-shek has been hoarding military power in China for use
in preserving the undemocratic Kuomintung regime in power.
Furthermore, it is asserted that Chiang Kai-shek has deliber-
ately refrained from making a truce with the communists,
thereby preventing an efficient and unified prosecution of the
war against Japan. Such behavior from the Chinese, who
have a far greater reason than we for driving Japan out ‘of
their country, speaks of a fundamental grievance, ‘of which
we, in this country, have no inkling.
If the Chinese nationalists are blocking Allied plans for
fighting the Japanese on the Chinese mainland, if the United
States is trying to interfere with the domestic affairs of an
allied nation, we are faced with a crisis that may well disturb
serene idealists. It is the kind of problem that may haunt
us for years to come.
There is little now that we can say or do. But in the
future, when the military exigency has passed, we will be
forced to deal with the core, not just the symptoms of such
an issue. It is urgent that in the meantime we do our best
to understand.

THE COLLEGE NEWS
Manning Assails Editorial
On Political Speakers’
Inadequacy
To the Editor of the College News:
Your editorial of last week, which
you presented as representative of
general student opinion, seems to
point to a decided change in the
preferences’ of the student body in
the matter of assembly speakers
or else to betray a naive lack of
realism on the subject of campaign
oratory. This ideal election speech
as you have outlined it in your
criticism of Mr. Daniel would last
at least two hours and could be
best prepared and delivered by a
professor of politics or history.
Now we have plenty of historians
and political scientists in our com-
munity, but the first thing that
was conveyed to the faculty mem-
bers of the committee on War As-
semblies when they met with un-
dergraduates was that the students
did not wish to hear from mem-
bers of the faculty on these occa-
sions unless we had something
very new and surprising to say.
This sentiment aroused no bitter-
ness in’the breasts of the faculty
and there has been general agree-
ment that the best and most ap-
propriate outside speakers should
be invited for each occasion.
There is, and always has been,
a very real difficulty about politi-
cal speeches on the campus in the
.year of a presidential campaign.
The: supply of good campaign
speakers is very limited and since
only a handful of students are like-
ly to vote, the inducements to come
to Bryn Mawr at this time are few.
In spite of this handicap the stu-
dents have always indulged in po-
litical rallies and have themselves
supplied a part of the energy and
enthusiasm which might otherwise
have been lacking. The one poli-
tical assembly which I was able to
attend last month, seemed to me
as good an occasion of the kind as
I remember, although an evening
meeting perhaps gives more op-
portunity for active demonstration
on the part of the audience. But
as far as I remember no one be-
fore has ever complained that the
speaker of the occasion did not re-

of its size is possible. Our present

Lograsso Denies Assertion
That Dewey Reduced
N. Y. Budget
To the Editor:
In ‘the’ College News of October
18 the statement appeared in the
Dewey column: that, “Mr. Dewey
has shown himself in New York
State to be capable of reducing: a
seemingly rigidly high budget to
a practical low.” Since it happens
that my! home is in New ,York
State, and because I am certain
that Bryn Mawr students prefer
facts to fairy tales with regard to
the political campaign that is be-
ing waged in one of the most crit-
ical periods in the history of our
country, I should like to present
the following facts:
When Governor Lehman retired
in January 1948, he left the state
with an 80 million dollar surplus
to be credited on April 15 when
the New York State taxes are
paid. At that time the fiscal year
ended on July 1, and the books
were made up then. When. Gov-
ernor Dewey took office in January
and saw that this 80 million dol-
lars was going to come in on\April
15th and be credited to Governor
Lehman’s administration, he quick-
ly and with youthful vigor had the
legislature move the end of the
fiscal year back to April first, at
which time he wound up Governor
Lehman’s administration. Then,
on April 15th, when the taxes came
in, he claimed credit for the 80
million dollars himself. It was as
efficient as that.
But Governor Dewey supporters
claim that he has saved the State’
of New York double that sum;
they lay claim to a total surplus
of 160 million dollars. Where did
the additional 80 millions come
from? They came from taxes on
view the whole party platform and

Common Room, October 30. Mr.
(Manning, Professor of History at
Swarthmore, in his talk on The
Strategy of the Philippines, said
that the recent battle is the great-
est naval engagement of all his-
tory, because the Jap losses alone
were more than the combined loss-
es of Germany and England in the
battle of Jutland. Further, the
United States is now left in com-
plete command of the Pacific.
The strategy of this engagement
allowed the United States to, know
just where she stands in regard
to Japan. Mr. Manning empha-
sized that although the Japanese
are diligent and assiduous, they
are above all copy-cats. In the re-
cent battle two Japanese fleets
steamed up from the south, prob-
ably from Kingapore, in order to
concentrate their forces with an-
other Japanese fleet coming down
from Formosa. The plan of the
Japanese was to have these three
fleets converge and completely
wipe out our forces at Leyte.
For thirty minutes the three
Japanese fleets were in sight of
each other and our forces on Leyte,
had many uneasy moments. How-
ever, the seventh fleet under the
command of Admiral Kinkaid sud-
denly appeared and divided its
forces in order to meet the two
Japanese fleets. Wiping out one
‘of these forces, the two parts of
our fleet proceeded to join Halsey’s,
and attacked the rest of the Jap-
anese Navy coming from Formosa.
Then the combined forces returned
to fight with the second Japanese
force.
Comparing the Japanese strat-
egy with a plan submitted by
Nelson for the battle of Copenha-
gen, Mr. ‘Manning pointed out that:
Nelson’s tactics were to use three:
fleets, one to strike out the Russian
port and the other two to close in
on ‘Copenhagen,

‘Politically Sveaking
As a last gasp before November 7, the News presents a
discussion of the campaign issue which the campus poll in-
dicated as the one regarded as most important, than of for-
eign policy.
ROOSEVELT
One of Mr. Dewey’s outstanding
characteristics is his quick change
of opinion to match the fluctua-
tions of the Gallup Poll. He is a
slavish follower, not a leader of
public opinion. His about-face on
foreign policy is a perfect exam-
ple of this. In 1940 Mr. Dewey
called recognition as the Soviet
Union, “a New Deal mistake.” He
repeatedly stated his opinion that
the United States should avoid all
foreign entanglements and _alli-
ances. Now he feels our relations
with Russia have, “not always been
of the best;” now he is leaning
over backward to demand instant
conferences with every tiny nation
of the globe. He cannot even wait
to see who is on our side.
What has brought about this
radical change of heart? The Gal-
lup poll shows that Americans are
overwhelmingly in favor of the
President’s internationalism. So
Mr. Dewey has temporarily adopt-
ed it as his very own—with few
variations, such as complete vague-
ness about our crucial relations
with Britain and Russia. —
Even if Mr. Dewey’s conversion
were sincere, how could he ever get
the isolationists who would domin-
his Congress, the men who voted{
against Lend-Lease, Selective
Service, appropriations for UNR-
RA, to approve a working world
organization?
Republicans say Mr. Dewey has
only tolerated the isolationists for

again in the last two months that,
this is a unique election. Yet in
all this acclamation of uniqueness,
little stress has been laid on the
extraordinary positions of the
candidates on the various crucial
issues involved. It is not that the
issues are confused, but rather
that for the first time in many:
years the platforms of both par-
ties are astonishingly in agreement,
It is the issue of foreign policy
that perhaps best exemplifies this.
Both parties support the Dumbar-
ton Oaks Conference’s plans. Both
have stated in their platforms that
they are internationally minded.
Both have pledged themselves to
an international union.
They differ not in principle, but
rather in the ways and means in-.

isolationist, all opposition to the.
contrary. His actions concerning.

INCIDENTALLY ...
_Can anyone claim this?
On the Pem West -mail table
this week lay a letter addressed
to, of all people, Miss Pembroke
West. In affectionate terms, the
Real Silk Hosiery Mills, Inc., sa-
luted Miss West, then, most mys-
teriously, said:
“Thank you for
Miss West. - Will you please
give us the details in © con-
nection with this matter? We
are of course eager to com-
plete the transaction to your
entire satisfaction. An en-
velope (requiring no postage)

In a dilemma, Pembroke West
cannot decide whether to reply to
Mr. Real Silk or Mr. Hosiery
Mills. Alt
Sitting vs. Setting
An English professor, fond of
exactitude, points out the follow-
ing clarification of the meaning
of sitting and setting as the last
‘word in definitions:
“Webster defines a sitting
hen as a setting one, and a
writing us,
setting hen as a_ brooding
one. However, while a _ set-
ting hen is necessarily a
brooding hen, a sitting hen
may be brooding or may sim-
ply be at rest.”
Who’s A Plumber?
Rhoads, the proud and mighty,
was having, plumbing trouble
some weeks ago. It would seem
that the plumbing difficulties have
not come to an end, for the im-
position of a five dollar fine for
anyone who allows a bathtub to
run over has been announced in
loud terms.
And, incidentally, this might
be termed a fitting end to all po-
litical discussion. Said one stu-
dent to another, “Is she a Demo-
crat?” The. reply, “Well, right
now she’s oscillating between
Roosevelt and Dewey.”

sympathies of an hysterical audi-
ence. A battle royal was waged
between her and the _ prostitute
Erotium (Elizabéth Myers ’46)
for the affections of Menaechmus
I or II—which one neither th
lady nor the woman knew. Ero-
tium’s line, “Next time bring
cash,” brought much laughter.
Constance Chester, as the Doc-
tor, and Patricia Turner, as_ the
Father, were by fat the most
modestly clad of the whole’ cast.
They introduced «~an amusing
scene. Other supporting cast,
although not so modestly as arfaz-
ingly costumed, were the Burly
Slaves and the dice-shooting sail-
ors. Amid blown hair and gun-
ny sacks, it was difficult to recog-
nize R. Bateson ’47, M. Holland

atmosphere to Erotium’s house-
hold.
If the translator (Elizabeth
Dowling ’47) had tried, perhaps,
to give less of an Orson Welles’

herself in the translation and
more of herself in her part as
Messenio, the net result would
have been a more finished per-
formance: But the obvious flaws
were diminished to pleasure by
the evident enoyment of the cast.
The many delightful moments
were appreciated by a thoroughly
enthusiastic audience which rose
to acclaim the cast, the stage-
crew, and their sympathetic and
capable director, Mrs. Michels.

officials determine how security
shall be given in cases of need.
In almost all countries there is a
trend toward the first method.
Mrs. Burns said the Sir William
Beveridge’s plan is in strict ac-
cordance with this statutory form.
The Australian and New Zealand
systems, however, are a compro-
mise of the two methods whereby
the people must ‘satisfy certain
statutory conditions in all social
security programs, provided that
individual income is within certain
limits.
Choosing which method would
be most beneficial to a _ given
country depends on the _ general
condition of that country, and a
consideration of the level of
wealth and the emotional stand-
ards of a community. By consid-
ering benefit levels, the social
economist will inevitably make
some approximation of { mainten-
ance needs of a family,| said Mrs.
Burns,
Financing a social sechrity pro-
gram would depend on a_ contri-
bution from all income receivers
in the form of taxes, but other
sources would have to be tapped
too. Mrs. Burns made no posi-
tive suggestion for further
sources of funds, but she said
that a greater supply of wealth
could not be raised by a_ payroll
tax on employers.

Critch Rhoads Tim :
Triumphs Over Pem|
In the third Sunday afternoon
inter-hall hockey match, the black
and blue of Rhoads trounced the
Indians of Pembroke, 17-0. Al-
though the game was compara-
tively uneventful for the first half,
Rhoads’ priority on varsity play-
ers began to show at the begin-
ning of the second.
Rhoads, too, seemed to have
more backing from their hall than
did Pembroke. However, it was
Pem that kept the. on-lookers
amused with yellow placards on
the back of each player. Some of
the more amusing epithets, were
such slogans as “Neckwith Beck-
with,” “Cheerwith - Bierwirth,”
“Hairy Cary,” arc “Easy Efforts.’
With no goalie, %hoads managed
to keep Pem from scoring, by the
use of a roving back, Betsy Man-
ning ’46, and the two fullbacks;
Libby Bagley ’48, and Betsy. Kal-
tenthaler ’47. Julie Turner ’45, was
lhigh-scorer for Rhoads, with four
goals to her credit; while Nancy
Niles ’47, made two, and Lydge
Gifford ’45, one.
Although one disappointed spec-
tator called it “a game of hack,”
there were no casualties. Ty Wal-
ker ’45, refereed. The final match
to decide the hall championship
will be played off between Rhoads
and the Merion Ghouls this Sunday
afternoon at 2:30.

Beaver Triumphs 4-1.
Over Weak Owl Team
Bryn Mawr, October 27. , Unable
,to stem a powerful Beaver attack,
the Bryn Mawr hockey team went
down to-a 4-1 defeat in their sec-
ond game of the season.
The Owls failed to show the bril-
liant teamwork that won them
their victory over Ursinus on Tues-
day. The backs, fighting to keep
the ball out of the circle, played a
good defense but the forwards
passed up several good opportuni-
ties to score.
Lydia Gifford ‘made the only
goal for the Owls. With the score
1-0 in Beaver’s favor, she pushed
over the ball on a short pass from
Richardson and _ Bryn
Mawr’s hopes were suddenly re-
vived. But after that the Owls’
scoring attempts were thwarted.
Pepper, who played for the Col-
lege All Star reserves last year,
Brown, Gorman “and Scott did the
scoring .for Beaver. Beside four
All Star reserves, Beaver also
boasted the holder of the Western

Sparkling Humor Lightens
Life on Home Front
In Halsey Book
By April Oursler °46
So much has been written about
life in our present world in the re-
gurgitatingly sentimental style of
advertisements, that it is a real
and appreciated pleasure to read
Margaret Halsey’s newest book,
Some of My Best Friends Are Sol-
diers, where a sparkling sense of
humor brings a badly needed sense
-of proportion into the field.
Miss Halsey has carefully de-
fined the book as “a kind of novel”;
it could also ‘be called fictionalized
reporting, or an essay, but its
classification is unimportant. It
is an understanding, though caus-
tic survey of the home front
through an unmarried girl’s ey
Told entirely through letters to
her soldier-brother, the novel is
the story of (Gretchen, a girl who
runs the house for her-father and
herself in the daytime, works at a
canteen at night, and rents an
apartment to an Air Corps lieuten-
nat in her spafe timé\Her letters
are thoughtful] in spite of their hu-
mor—naturally more detailed than
the scrawls of the normal corres-
‘pondent but living, and real.
Satire
The satize so predominant in
Miss Halsey’s first book, With Mal-
ice Toward Some, is more incident-
al here, vitalizing the fundament-
ally sericus material —an acces-
sory rather than a basis for the
book. Using the problem of race
prejudice as an underlying theme,
Miss Halsey has treated the ques-
tion both in theory and practice,
without dogmatism and _ without
melodrama.
Gretchen, enthusiastic over her
canteen work writes her brother
frequently about the complete lack
of discrimination she found there
when she first began. But a crisis
arises when a Senior Hostess in-
sults a young Jewess, and Gretchen
begins to worry about open-mind-
edness. Naturally a retiring crea-
ture, Gretchen feeling that the less
said the better, does not immedi-
ately feel like taking up the cru-
sade for tolerance, but between
pressure from ‘her boarder, the
lieutenant, and her own conscience
and emotions she is roused to ac-
tion, and a highly amusing and
significant battle ensues.
The theme is, however, for the
most part carefully submerged un-
der a welter of the complications
of everyday life. The plaster in
the: bedroom falls down, father
gets sick and morbid and has tan-
trums and then: brings home flow-
ers, and above all there is trouble
over the ‘boarder, Tom Garrett.
Gretchen resented him highly from
the beginning, largely because she
esented_ being reduced to having
aké in a boarder. She natural-
ad refuses to admit that it was his
understanding of her, and his
amused harshness with her weak-
nesses that made her uncomfort-
able. Eventually, of course, ro-
mance . triumphs.
It is an exceptionally well-writ-
ten book, It is one of the few ser-
ious books that can make the read-
er laugh out loud. And that is
perhaps the greatgst of tributes,
for it indicates that the book is
truly life-like.

political reasons. President Roose-
velt as just as able a politican, and
he openly repudiated Communist
support, in a recent speech. The
plain truth is that Mr. Dewey is
completely in the power of his re-
actionary backers, and he cannot
‘break that hold even if he wished
to.
Warren G. Harding campaigned
in 1920 under the slogan, “A vote
for Harding is 4 vote for the Lea-
gue.” On the day of his election he
proclaimed, “The League is de-
ceased.” We don’t want that to
happen again! Yet, what better
indication could there be of similar
insincerity on Mr. Dewey’s part
than his failure to advance’ any
constructive ideas on world organ-
ization? ae
Even his criticisms of the pres-
ent administration are poor.’ He
cannot. see the real issues on which
the State Department has erred;
he can only speak in meaningless,
racial generalities aimed at win-
ning the Polish and Italian votes.
He tries to convince the nation that
its government negotiates “secret-
ly.” A nation which more than
ever before has been granted a
free view of the cards on the in-
ternational table, a realization of
the goals for which it is fighting,
is not likely to swallow that. If Mr.
Dewey has not read in the news-
papers the complete text of every
presidential__agreement with for-
eign powers, others have.

‘Nuts and Bolts
Unlike the Bryn Mawr under-
graduates, Haverford College,
supported by their R. and R., and
I. and N. Units, reelected Presi-
dent Roosevelt in ‘their recent
straw vote. The most surprising
feature of the Poll was the large
minority claimed by Norman
Thomas: Roosevelt 50%, Dewey
30%, Thomas. 138%, Undecided
7%, was the result for the entire
campus, as opposed to 50%: for
Dewey and 45% for Roosevelt at
Bryn Mawr.
Fifty-five per cent of the stu-
dent body proper, however, sup-
ported Dewey, while only 32%
backed the incumbent.
the kL and N. Unit, which repre-
sents the government bureauracy,
and the Relief and Reconstruction
Units, Roosevelt scored a 2-1 vic-
tory over Dewey; in fact, in the
latter units Norman Thomas ran
ahead of ‘the Republican candidate,
while the I. & N. unit cast no vote
for Dewey.
The Haverford faculty agrees
with that of Bryn Mawr in their
whole-hearted support of the
President. Sixty-seven per cent
of the Haverford faculty will vote
for Roosevelt; and the remaining
83%, for Dewey.

Statement in ‘News’
Centinued from page 2 ;
increased business activities, stock
exchange sales, race tracks, cigar-
ette sales, and so on. And since
there was practically nothing to
spend money on because there was
no need for relief and neither man-
power nor material for public
works, there was, of course, a sur-
plus. Anyone who wishes may
give the Governor credit for it.
Governor Dewey, however, did
make one valiant attempt to reduce
the budget. He proposed to cut
school appropriations by $7,800,-
000. But enraged parents and
teachers made him restore all but
$500,000 to the school fund one
week before the adjournment of
the Legislature.
If anyone is interested in hav-
ing the exact figures for New York
State receipts in 1942-1943 . and
1948-1944, I have them. For ex-
ample, the jump in personal income
tax receipts was from $25,000,000
to $85,000,000; in the pari-mutuel
tax (voted by referendum in Gov-
ernor (Lehman’s administration)
from $9,000,000 to $18,500,000, and
so on.
Exact Inches
If anyone is interested in my
opinion as to Governor Dewey’s
despotic and dictatorial methods
with the State Legislature, I have
that, too. But perhaps they would
prefer to interview two of the Re-
publican Assemblymen who have
already resigned rather than put
up with it.

So much for the Pacific War as
we see it. A tiny glimpse is all we
get, but the difficulties overcome
and those ahead are staggering to
anyone who has been here can tell
you. We have sailed through “wa-
ter that will be forever hallowed
by what Americans did there, and
surely no one has ever fought for
what he. believed in farther from
all he knew and loved than the lads
who have pushed us this far to-
ward Japan. Excuse me for end-
ing on a serious note, but I cannot
begin to tell you how utterly
strange and different all this is
from Bryn Mawr or from our lives
at home. I think that no one who
has been out here for any consider-
able time can ever quite take the
happiness of a peaceful ‘life at
home for granted again, nor can
he fail to realize ty what a slender
thread—our~liberty hung in those
dark days of the winter of ’42.
‘Don’t ever think it was easy, don’t
ever believe anyone who tells you
that your country was in no dan-
ger, and don’t think it’s all over

fathers somewhere out here or in

which are prized above all others

I say you cannot imagine the plea-
