Comment On World Events

The American Federation Of Labor
has again strongly emphasized the
imperative need of immediate relief
measures in Europe and fairer, more
workable Allied occupation policy in
Germany.
Following up previous criticism of
the handling of Germany, the latest
(November) AFL Labor's Monthly
Survey declares that Europe must be
rehabiitated and points out the OBJ
vious truth that Starving, jobless
people cannot rebuild democracy in
any country"
Almost as the survey was issued,
a House of Representatives commit
tee headed by William M. Colmer of
Mississippi arraigned the German oc-
cupation policy in words that back
up everything the AFL has said on
the subject. The committees findings
are made in a report unanimously
signed by all 18 members, Democrats
and Republicans, after an weeks
tour of Europe, where they investi-
gated conditions at first hand.
Let the Colmer committee comment
"If a hard peace y, it says, "re-
quires the elimination of 100000 OF
100000 Germans, it would be much
more humane to eliminate them at
once. The committee feels that the
American antipathy to theories oi
racism includes an antipathy to the
theory of racial guilt. Those Germans
who will suffer in the main will be
the very old who generally opposed
Hitler and the very young who were
hardly responsible for him.
at would not be feasible to make
Germany pay for the war without re-
constituting its industries beyond the
point needed for the support of the
population at a minimum level. The
committee warns that the prevention
of catastrophe in Middle Europe
will impose further heavy burden
on the taxpayers of the United States
and on our occupying armies, if the
contradictory directives stress repara-
tions and the elimination of all in
dustry that can even indirectly sup
port a war as against the necessity
for a minimum standard of living for
the German people,"
Then the report adds: "The COM
mittee cannot refrain from asking the
simple question: What incentive un-
der this plan exists for Germany to

Investigate Recent
Hunting Accidents

LANSING, Jan. - Reasons why
youths under Is were involved In
gun accidents during recent open
seasons are being determined in the
most painstaking investigation of the
sort yet attempted by the conserva-
ton department.
Recent small game and deer sea-
sons claimed the lives of 20 persons
under Is years of age. Fifty-three
hunters in the same age group were
wounded. In all 40 persons were
killed or injured during the seasons.
There were 38 deaths.
Parents of youths who were killed
or wounded are being interviewed by
department representatives who seek
to learn why, in some instances,
boys and youths were not accom-
panied by adults; how much in
struction they had been given in
the use Of firearms: and known de-
tails Of the accidents in which the
youths were involved.
The Investigations may throw light
on the causes of accidents involving
youths and may disclose weaknesses
in present laws covering the issu-
ance Of gun licenses to persons I'M
der 10 years.

u of NJ Track Team,
Strong in Distance
EUents, Coach Says

Ann Arbor, Mich, Jan. 4Early
indications are that the University
of Michigan track squad, with
seven lettermen back as nucleus,
again will have a greater portion Of
it's strength concentrated in the dis
lance and middle distance events.
Led by the Hume twins, Ross, l945
captain and Bob, who led the team
last season and Richard Barnard,
letterman from Williamsville. N. Y,
the Wolverines will be strong in the
mile and the $50 yard run.
Coach Ken Doherty is planning
to move the Humes down to the
$50 yard event and Barnard to the
quarter mile to better balance the
team strength. Bob Hume has done
4:14.9 indoors for the mile and Ross
has covered the indoor mile in 4:159.
Both are capable of running fast
half mile while Doherty believes
that Barnard, whose half mile in
door mark is ISIS, can run cred
liable 440.
To keep Wolverine strength up to
par in the longer events, Doherty is
counting on Archie Parsons. civilian
transfer from New York University
and the return of Walter Fairserv-
ice both in the mile, and upon the
showing of Freshman Bob Thoma-
son of ASbury Park. N. j., and Ross
Willard, Ashland, Ore.
Two lettermen, Charles Birdsall
and George Vetter, also are avail
able for the two mile and the $50,
respectively.
Additional lettermen on the squad
include Julian WitherSpoon, Sopho-
more, who stepped at Detroit North
ern and has covered the indoor go
yard dash in O6.4 and Richard For
estel, who finished fourth in the
conference indoor 40 yard event
last winter.
Michigan, Doherty believes, will
have plenty Of men available for all
events, but on the basis of present
performances, he feels that with the
exception of the distance events, in
dividual performers will not be quite
on a par with recent Michigan
teams.

CITY OF WYANDOTTE SPEED
SKATING CHAMPIONSHIP

The races will be held again this
year at the Boat Club Bay, former
ly Burrell's Slip, starting at 2 pm.
Sunday, January 21st. There will
be events for boys and girls in the
following age claSsifications: cradle
class under 9 years, midget class
9 to II years, juvenile class IL to Is
years, junior class IA to Is and
intermediate 16 to II years.
The championships committee is
composed of Harry Wagner, super
intendent of recreation; Howard
Solo, superintendent of parks; Del
Broughton, recreation commission
president, and Bryce Smith, recre-
alton commission secretary.
The afternoon program is espe-
cially for the youngsters of Wyan-
dotte and If the weather is as good
as it should be on that day, such
a vigorous sport is as beneficial to
health as it is pleasure. Parents
will enjoy it and 1t would not be
surprising to see many Of them
on skates that afternoon.
Figure skaters are welcome at the
championship and If enough are
there they too will be invited to
skate for a title.
Many new champions should be
crowned this year, as many of last
years champions have to move up
into higher classes.
Last years champions were:
Norma VIM and Phil DeSano,
cradle class; Ann Macdonald and
David Church, midget class; Ann
Macdonald and Joe Kane, juv-
emile class; kathleen Kerr and Bud
Affholter, junior class; Olive Bey-
mer and Bill Albright, intermediate
class.
The races are especially good for
novices. No state champions will
be allowed in this meet. Any boy
or girl may enter by getting an
entry blank at the skating shelter
and returning same to the skating
shelter.
The recreation department will
furnish fine medals to winners Of
first, second and third place in
each event. Those wishing to enter
should practice good deal and
have sharp skates the day of the
meet as the ice will be newly sur
faced and very hard to skate on
with dull skates.
