Ann ARBOR, Jan. a.
CERTAINLY the most novel Of
y The regular Union dances of
the season came off this week
with the presentation Of Varsity
Band Night in the Rainbow
room of the mems building on
the weekend.
II wasn't just one OF those
prosaic affairs where you do
nothing but dance. 1t was
variety show, band concert and
take-off on formation drills, all
in one. Bob Templin, Union
social chairman, decided that
for the night at least there vas
going 10 be some real action in
the ballroom.

Band Members Guests

Consequently, the university
marching and concert bands
were guests Of honor, and be-
sides doing their stunt, sat back
and watched a take-off Of their
football field tactics.
Tommy Snyder. leader OF the
young musicians who took over
the dance podium for the eve
ming, IS a junior in the univer-
sity and he had long ago decided
that the most unusual trick
dance orchestra could pull 10
entertain students would be a
marching and countermarching
burlesque Of the varsity band.
And that's exactly what the
members of his organization did.

Block M in Sanskrit

The formation getting the
biggest laugh was the tricky
rendition of the bands famous
block M. After the dance
boys got through with il, il
looked as though il had been
written IN sanSkrit.
Snyder and his band are
rather an interesting group in
themselves. as a matter OF
fact. All are Still students. in

Hummon. and, appropriately for
the evening, every member has
at some time or another played
with the varsity band. Ed
Ostrofki and Bill Henline still
play with the marching unit.

Shanley;s Renomination May En1barrass Hurley
New Haven Democratic Leaders, Rank and File of Party Support Popular Congressman Kopplemann, Downs Apparently Over
 looked for Independent Attitudes'

When Governor Hurley launched a two-fisted attack on after Pearl Harbor patriots" at the convention of Young Democrats last month, po- litical experts commented openly that the executives speech was in- tended as 8 suggestion to New Haven Congressman James A. Shanley that he decline" nomina- tion for reelection in November.
 If the experts interpreted the Governors comments in the proper vein & combination of factors prob- ably will force him either to look the other way in the Third District Congressional campaign or find him self in the middle of very difficult situation which certainly won't add to his own prospects for reelec- ton.
 For James A. Shanley, four times elected representative by voters of the third district very definitely is in the race for renomination and reelection-and leaders of the city of New Haven are behind him tooth and nail.
 Published reports that Shanley will withdraw from politics and re- Sume his teaching profession are discounted by no less reliable au- thority than the congressman him. self as bunk"
 In the van of Shanley's supporters Is Mayor John w. Murphy of New Haven, who has served as the con- gressman,s campaign manager since 1884. And equally enthusiastic in their support of the fiery Shanley are Apple Club members, David E. FitzGerald and John M. Golden.
 The New Haven leaders are re- ported ready to support their bril- liant student of foreign affairs even to the extent of an open break with Governor Hurley.
 For in spite of the fact that he guessed wrong" on the subject of our proximity to war and his con- sistent opposition to the presidents preparedness program prior to Pearl Harbor-there is not an iota ot ground for question of his sincerity his Americanism and his patriotism

|SALESMEN OPPOSE
 RATIONINC RULES
New Gas Regulations to Result in Protest Letters
 to Respective Senators

'The new gasoline regulations limiting commercial travellers to 12g miles per week or q 1-2 miles per day Con the basis of a six-day working week) will seriously dam- age the internal domestic economy of the seventeen rationed states and is therefore discriminatory against business organizations in the east" stated William A. Thihos deau, general manager of the Au tomobile Legal Association.
 According to a factual survey of automobile use issued by the Auto mobile Manufacturers Associatjnn, travelling salesmen average 15,00O miles yearly in occupational driving.
 A survey conducted by the United Commercial Travellers of America in behalf of the office of price ad- miniStration shows that of the 800,- 900 plus salesmen in the country, 715,760 are past 35 years of age; 729,520 have no other occupation to which they can turn; 736000 use automobiles exclusively: 776,16 have three or more dependents; 507,520 travel more than 300 miles per week and 263, $40 cover terri tory where cities are 75 miles apart ard only 3,680 say they can use train or bus to covet their territory.
 These salesmen represent busi- ness concerns that contribute mill lions of dollars to the federal, state and local governments in the form of taxes as well as pay taxes them selves. Reducing their average yearly mileage from 15,OO0 to a maximum of 129 miles week will seriously impair the earning power of their companies.
 It is therefore essential for the sake of their personal livelihood, for the continued financial economy of their companies and for the war ef- fort which will suffer because ol loss of tax revenue that the ra- tioning rules be modified so that this class of essential motorists be allowed adequate gasoline for essential business driving.
 MT. Thibodeau urged each busi. ness concern and each salesman to write or telegraph their Senators and Representatives immediately outlining their particular problem and urging a modification of the rationing rules to meet their essen tial driving needs.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-03

If Governor Hurley is going to go after Congressman Shanley he is going to find himself faced with the question, How about Congressman K opple ann and Congressman DoWns?" And if there's going to be an argument on the subject of the preparedness program make check on the number of Connecticut Con- gressmen who voted against the im- portant draft extension bill which passed the House by slim one-vote majority.
 Congressman Downs of the fourth district played 8 game of inde- pendence in the pre-War days and voted sometimes with the admins tration and many times against on important preparedness measures.
 To bring in Congressman Kopple- mann we must go back several years when the Hartford representative was an outspoken pacifist and op- posed any type of military establish ment appropriation.
 The governors statement-or the portion of it which precipitated this and many arguments or more ln- tellgent nature-is as follows:
 "Only those men, no matter what their parties are, deserve election to high public office who have demon strated by work or deed their fealty to the cause of freedom, who lhave been consistent and active in their opposition to aggression, who did not sit and idly watch while the turbulent currents were whirling around us.
 For my part, no man or woman of any party is worthy of election to public office of whom it can be said that he is an "after Pearl Harbor patriot"
 If Governor Hurley is to go down the line ande endeavor to add force to that statement by singling out and attacking Democrats who were opposed to the presidents foreign policy before we entered the war he unquestionably will find himself in trouble with more than the Shan ley supporters.
 And with a close election antici- pated, success or defeat will be de- ermined by the smoothness with which the individual political ma chine functions.
 Strategists in the Hurley camp may be inclined-when the cam paign draws nigh = to suggest to their chief that political expedi- ency" will not permit open ani- mostly toward three, two or even one Connecticut congressman, espec- ially If they go into the fray with their usual machine support.
