ence under cover Of their present Pseu-
do-potriotic eorb, while we noiVeIy
take them at face value and permit
ourselves to be hoodwinked into foIse
sense Of security, we will find to our
sorrow that the problem will be more
acute in days to come than it has in
the post"
This is true Of the schools, Of which
primarily it was said. 1t is true equally
Of all government services, and Of
those trades unions serving key indus
tries, upon which StoIinist organizers
have concentrated.
1t is not the dictum Of red-boiters.
The men who directed the inquiry we're
known for liberalism, to the extent
that some had been accused Of RADICAL
ISM Moreover, their conclusion is iden-
tcoI with that Of one Of the great lib
erals Of oil time, Prof. John Dewey,
who has written Of this very problem:
1.-THE American people should
bear clearly in mind that Stains &C.
tions-ond those Of his agents and
sympothizers here-wiII be governed
by his own interest as he conceiVes it,
regardless Of the efforts Of or the con-
sequences to his present democratic
allies. Stain knows what his
opoIoeists here apparently do not
know - that totoIitoronism and de-
nocrocy will not mix"
This is not to suggest that we re-
TAX in me slightest our oif-out effort to
help Stolinist Russia against Nozi
Germany. On the contrary let us ex-
Pond and speed up that program to the
limit Of our capacity
But let US keep always close before
our eyes the distinction between mill
tory Russia, which is helping US to beat
the axis, and Communism, which hates
democracy more than Nozsm, but
fears Hitler more than Roosevelt.

High|ights from
the Latest Books

Those of us who are citizens
of the United States by Birth
and heritage often find it easy
or convenient TO forget who we
are, from what we came and the
things we have achieved. Most
of us have been pretty complac-
ent about what a great place this
really is. We just took the big
cities, rich farmland, great
scenery and our fellow citizens
for granted.
An excel ent antidote for this
smugness can be found in Sal

Salsette, a French professor
who might be Romans, arrives
in this country as a refugee, and
the book reveals his first i'm
pressions Of New York and the
eastern seaboard. S settles

but what he sees and feels re-

and sharpness because of his

mistakes for years has been the

those who seek new life and
freedom here. We should, there

The conclusion Of q New York

HOLLYWOOD, April 80 -
Chances are that a mere half
dozen movie celebrities could
have gone on tour and raised
million dollars for the agencies
which provide emergency relief
for Army and Navy families, In
fact, the Hollywood Victory
Committee invited only 10 peo-
pie to headline the money max
ing trips to l3 major cities -
and even that number would
have constituted the Starriest
expedition ever launched in en-
tertainment history.
What happened instead was a
surprise even TO Hollywood,
where people are supposed to be
engaged primarily in making
movies instead of bouncing off
on strenuous, 19-day tours.
Glamor stars and top ocdeians
Glamor stars and top comedians
and famous singers began call
ing up the Victory Committee,
announcing that they'd like to
go along.
Final result was that the Spe-
Cial train pulled out for the east
and the opening engagement in
Washington with 81 stars, and
with eight leading ingenues
serving as chorus girls. Count
ing musicians and the director
ial and business staff, there are
80 people in the caravan. 1t S
the biggest name show on earth.

Coach John Karcis announced
today that he had signed Ralph

Qualmann was a member of the
Tech squad which led the nations
collegiate elevens in scoring in
1889. The following year he re-
ported to the Lions under Potsy
Clark but failed to make the
grade. He played the balance of
that season with the Newark
Bears.
Qualmann is expected TO play
either right half or fullback. In
college and in the minors he was
an outstanding punter and pass
defense man. He scored 20 points
for Tech his last year there.
Karcis was prompted to give
|Qualmann a tryout when Lloyd
Cardwell seemed certain =. to be
