Of American tranquility, by our re-
congnition, was given too much con-
sideration. This brought US to the
question OF "Who, then1b
Strange enough, only two names
were mentioned: Franklin Delano Roo
sevelt and Thomas E. Dewey. Six of
the fifteen defined to expouhd IN this
connection without first stressing the
credit due Mr.. Roosevelt for his eff
forts in social legislation; Three of the
six felt that the Presidents efforts in
this direction should outweigh any
third term as being undesirable in any
case, One of these three observed:
hWhat difference would the source of
a dictatorship make, If at last we were
explain what he meant.
The other nine Of fifteen were all for
Mr.. Dewey as the one man who would
take no back talk from subversive
elements; as the one man in all Amer
ica who would show no consideration
to racketeer whether he be a local
kidnaper, a labor extortiofiist, or the
head or some high official of govern
ment. These hine men seemd to feel
that Thomas E. Dewey's record in pub
lie office is proof sufficient that he
has but one standard of right; and that
that standard is fright" with nothing
added to, and nothing taken from. They
believe it safe to trust Mr.. Dewey for
whatever may be right.
Finally, one of them AIDED, "Put a
big army and navy behind Tom Dewey,
and he'll see that the whole world does
the right thing by America"
Talking to fifteen people isn't cover
ing lot Of territory, but this has been
good days work for yours truly.
So long.

WARTIME HYSTERIA AND THE
POLITICAL FRONT
BY Orestes A, Scott


New York, (C)-If comments from
the everyday fellow in the street are
to be taken as guide, the rift hys-
terra at Washington over European de-
velopements and the iminent dangers to
American tranquility, is being dis
counted heavily as it wends its ways
to its goal.
Official Washington has seemd so
much upset recently that your cores
pondent decided to ask the man who
has never, nor hopes ever to hold
public office-laborers, porters, truck
drivers, and news vendor have been
the victims of my queries during this
day. So sane and logical were the views
OF these respondents that the writer
was half inclined to propose an ex-
change of jobs between us.
Yes, even to man, everyone of
these workers are 100 per cent in favor
of the Presidents rearmament program
and as well the cost that goes with it,
Fourteen of the fifteen seemd to think
that sooner might have been bitter;
while twelve expressed the view that
full preparedness of the Army, Navy
and Air Force would solve all of our
international problems; even the mat
ter of the Monroe Doctrine and any
official meddling in the Western Hem
isphere by outsiders, and this despite
the outcome of Europe's present war.
One Old Timer recalled the warning
OF the late Theodore Roosevelt when he
told Germany to get her fleet out of
South American waters or admiral
Dewey will know the reason why."
Still another ventured that with the
right kind of Army, Navy and Air
Force for the United States proper"
a good telegraph wire bearing good
stiff message from Washington would
lend all the additional protection the
Monroe Doctrine would need to sus-
tain itself as regards the rest of this
Continent.
While all were enthusiastic in sup
port of Mr.. Roosevelt's preparedness
program, most of them felt that the
President had been so lenient in deal
ing with subversive groups and even
world racketeers, that he could hardly
qualify as the man to stand at the
head OF such an Army and Navy and
exhibit enough teeth" to preclude the
need for plunging us into war. Truly
these men do not want war; even a war
OF our own, to say less of any other.
| In referring to Mr.. Roosevelt's len
iency, these men actually cited cases in
point. One recalled the Presidents
address before the American Youth
Congress in which the President warn
ed them that Communism is very un-
popular at this time" He complained
that this warning was too mild, and
too far short in directness, and offer
any one of helf-dozen constructions
that might logically be placed upon
the Presidents words. Most of these
| men seemed to fault he Administra-
ton for the recognition of Soviet Rus
sia; saying that Russia through her
fronts had already violated the sanctity

REGENTS BIG TASK 70
SELECT NEW
UNIVERSITY HEAD
Seventh Man to Direct Now Famous
Institution MIST be Found
Within the Year

Minneapolis, June-A task that has
confronted the University of Mime
sofas Board of Regents only six times
in the seventyone years since the in
stitution was opened, is now holding a
considerable part of the attention of
that body. President Guy Stanton Ford
is expected to retire June 80, 1941, and
his successor will have to be selected
before that time The topic is news at
this time, year in advance, because
the presidency of the University of
Minnesota may be considered the most
important position in the state, a job
whose occupant always has been, and
must continue to be of the greatest
service to all Minnesota and all Min
nesotans.
The Board of Regents has appointed
committee to give consideration to
the problem and to receive whatever
suggestions may be forthcoming.
Heading the committee is the veteran
regent, Fred B. Snyder of Minneapolis,
who has worked for the interest of the
institution as a board member since
1912 and before that upheld the uni
versity's cause in the Minnesota Legis-
lature With him on the committee are
Regents Sheldon " Wood of Mime
apo1is, E. E. Noak of New Prague,
Albert J. Lobb of Rochester and A. J.
Olson of Renville. This group will
make the recommendation on which
ultimately the entire board will act
The Regents have asked the General
Alumni Association of the University
to keep in touch" with the situation,
and at the Regents request the univer-
sity faculty has named committee of
its members with whom the board
committee may Consult and advise"
| On the committee of professors are
Richard M. Elliott, head of the depart
ment of psychology, chairman; Dean
| Samuel c. Lind, head of the Institute
of Technology; DR.. William A. Riley,
head of the division of entomology and
economic zoology at University Farm,
DIR. Albury Castell, department of phi
losophy; DR.. J, c. Mckinley profes-
sor of neuropsychiatry, DIR. Lloyd M.
Short of the department of political
science, director of the university's
Public Administration Training Center,
and DR.. Edgar B. Wesley, department
of history The committee is bro "
representative of the strong faculty ele-
ments, and should give the Regents
material assistance.
| The University of Minnesota's first
president was DR.. William Watts Fol-
well, Uncle Billy" historian of Min
nesota, who served from 1869 until
1885, Then came the famous DR.
Cyrus Northrop, president until he was
succeeded in 1912 by President George
Edgar Vincent. DR.. Vincent was fol-
lowed by President Marion Leroy Bur-
ton, who remained until 1920 and was
succeeded by the late DR.. Lotus Delta
! Coffman, who headed the institution
during its great recent period of
] growth and development. President
| Guy Stanton Ford, dean of the Gradu-
ate School and "elder statesman" of
the faculty during the Vincent, Bur-
ton and Coffman regimes, became pres
ident in the fall of 1888 after having
served in that capacity for a year on
two occasions during the absences of

So much of the states future is tied

Board of Regents is exercising greatest
care in selecting a man who shall serve
as its head, possibly for the next fifteen
or twenty years, during period which,
as even the most careless can see, will
be one of vital importance on the life

Indeed Quite Simple,
In Subtle Sarcasm

Mrs. Milligan and Mrs. Gray
stone were neighbors, and often
they had a few words over the
back fence.
One day Mrs. Milligan said to
Mrs. Graystone: II don't know if
you're aware of it, but, my dear,
it appears to me you've got odd
stockings on"
Mrs. G.. was quite prepared for
her, and with her sweetest smile,
properly squelched her neighbor
in this fashion:
ooh, my dear, I can understand
that being a surprise to you, but
it's a thing that may happen to
anyone who has more than one
pair"

Pygmies Intelligent

Pygmies live both in Africa and
in southern Asia and Oceania. The
African pygmies, called Negril-
loes, live in a zone about three
degrees north and south of the
equator, extending right across
Africa. They average about Az
feet in height. The Negritoes are
the pygmies of Asia and Oceania.
The Aetas inhabit the Philippines,
the Sakai the interior of the Malay
peninsula, and the Andamanese
the Andaman islands in the Bay
of Bengal. They average few
inches higher than African pyg-
mics. Though primitive in their
mode of life, pygmies are both in
telligent and brave.
Some authorities believe they
most closely resemble primitive
man, while others believe pygmies
have retrogressed from present
races of man.

One of the most important occa-
sions in the years schedule of holi-
days is the Christmas dinner. AS
homemakers, it behooves us to
crown it with superlative dessert.
Cakes, fragrant with spices, and
rich with fruits and nuts, are tradi-
tional Christmas fare, and are more
than satisfying as a finale to the
feast.
Fruit cakes improve with age.
They become mellow and more fla
vorsome as the days 60 by. So,
make them early and let them ripen
until the holiday season arrives.
Proper storage prevents fruit cakes
from molding and drying out. Wrap
the cooled cakes in wax paper, and
store in tightly covered tins. Pour
little wine or fruit juice over the
cakes, every week or so, and when
ready to be served they will be mel
lowed to the proper degree.
Make out your Christmas list now.
I'm sure you will find few friends
