Stassen Give Wilnkie LoWdoWn
On Trojan Horse Tactics
Governor Stassen of Minnesota, the
country's outstanding specialist on
Trojan horse political campaign STRAIT
egg, is chairman of WILKES personal
advisory campaign committee. The
two met recently to map campaign
plans, and in view of the fact that
the Willkie campaign is taking on the
pattern of the Stassen campaign two
years ago, the conversation must have
run about as follows:
Stassen: You can't make this look
like a republican campaign, Wendell.
It's got to be a crusade-a peoples
crusade! It's got to be all liberal
the talk, l mean.
Willkie: When I begin to wonder
how liberal with Morgan-Lamont and
Power Trust signs plastered all over
him looks like, l begin getting the
filters.
Stassen: Don't become timid soul.

it in Minnesota, the toughest state In

being murdered whenever they bring

SPRING GRAIN
is DAMAGED
BY DR0UTH

Dryiand crop prospects of spring
sown grains continued a marked de
cline IN Montana during the week end
ing Tuesday, July 23, because of ex
IRENE heat and drouth conditions
Showers occurred over most sections
OF the state during the first part OF
tire week, but were largely of incon
Isequential amounts or where heavy,
too localized or widely scattered to
result in any extensive good except
in the northeast. Blistering heat at
the close of the week produced tenn
peratures in excess of 100 degrees
over the eastern part of the state
and the highest readings for the pres
ent season to date. Hail caused some
scattered crop damage, with storms
on the 18th of the preceding week re-
ported to have damaged in excess of
$4,000 acres in Daniels and Roosevelt
counties.
Haying and harvesting operations
made good progress. Winter wheat
harvest is now in full swing in the
heavier production areas, and cutting
of oats and barley has started. Seed
pea harvest is well along. Dryland
winter wheat, because of its more
mature advancement, has not declined
to the extent experienced by spring
grains. Much winter wheat is MAX
ing fair to good yields, but some is
only poor. Progress of spring-sown
grains varied during the week Some
improved or continued to hold on
where showers fell, while others with
'ut rain seriously declined. In some |
northwestern districts and scattered |

tpllnary or scholastic grounds. Investi
cations made, disclosed that most OF
the students dismissed were of high
scholastic standing and had never been
subjected to disciplinary action by the
university Apparently the only rea-
son for the dismissal action was the
activity of many of the students dis
missed in the organization of labor on
the campus.
That this was the reason. is clearly
enough indicated by statement made
public by President Ruthven of the
University, made on June Is, a week
before the dismissals were made. when
he stated the University's policy as
| follows:
ITO those young people who are
planning to enter or return to the
University next year, issue this warn
ing. Michigan welcomes only students
who are convinced that democracy is
the ideal form of government for civil
lied people. She will not be confused
by sophistries built around meaningful
but ill-defined phrases, such as free
dom Of the press and freedom of
speech, but will deal firmly, without
fear or favor, with subversive or So
called 'fifth-column' activities"
In the same address, President
Ruthven specifically warned the fac
ulty that similar activities on their
part, or support of such activities,
would be regarded even more serious
ly. The University has since indicated
to the faculty that any participation
in the defense of the students would
have severe consequences for them.
The Student Union, the American
Civil Rights Federation and the Uni
yersity of Michigan local of the State
County and Municipal Workers of
America were stirred to action by the
statements of the president followed
by the uncalled for dismissals. The
latter organization adopted and is
resolution which says in
part:
g. We believe the assumption
Of responsibility as expressed in Pres
dent Ruthven's statement and in the
overt action based upon it are totali-
-arian in principle rather than demo-
cratic, we condemn both the statement
md the action as undemocratic and I'M
American, and a direct threat to the
peace and security of the American
people.
Therefore, as representatives of or
sanized labor on the University of
Michigan campus we resolve:
Il. To protest President Ruthven's
ction in dismissing these students and
o bring to the attention of the Amer
can people the issues involved;
o. To cooperate with the American
student Union and the American Civil
tights Federation, and organizations
nd individuals who agree with us
hat his action is a violation of civil
berties and academic freedom; and
20. To endorse the petition circu-
ited by the Civil Rights Federation
alling for:
"a. Unconditional reinstatement of
all students who have been forbid
den re-admission on other than le-
climate scholastic or disciplinary
grounds.
"b. Guarantee of full freedom OF
expression and lawful action for all
members of the University, faculty
and students alike.
&c. Guarantee of free and UNI
censored student press"

the expense of the taxpayers.
The journals of both the House and
the Senate of previous legislative SEES
sions bear witness that the need for
investigations have been recognized by
the members, and reports appear in
them which contain sufficient implica-
lions Of possible corruption and in
many cases, direct evidence of official
ineptitude and reprehensible conduct
of the states business to warrant dras-
tic action. Little or no blame can at
tach to the personnel of these investi
eating committees, however. Expected
to perform all of their full legislative
duties by their constituents. the addi-
tional work entailed in membership of
one of the Investigating committees
places burdens upon them which
makes it almost a practical impossi-
bility to do full justice to ALL
Might "FoIIow Through"
1t is suggested that when legislative
Investigating committees are appointed
by the coming legislature, these COM
mittee might well begin their work by
an evaluation of the efforts made by
the officials of the respective depart
ments Investigated in previous ses-
sions, to remedy the faults and def
ciencies uncovered.
1t is generally conceded that the
disclosures of probable corruption in
the administration of the state liquor
control boards business, should compel
further, and If possible, more search
ing investigation by the legislature
this winter of the conduct of this state
activity. Moreover a scrutiny of the |
efforts, If any, on the part of Governor
Ayers, to follow out the recommends
tons made by the representatives who
composed the committee, should be
made and he should be held respon-
sible, if he has not taken the neces-
sary action.
Similarly, the public welfare board
should be investigated and again the
governor as the final authority in the
conduct of the affairs of this agency,
should be held responsible, If the
faults in it's administration reported ;
by the investigating committee, have I
not been remedied.
