at least does not make Alexis a.
bore.
In the large, however. drama de-
partnlents do run into moments
when they wish they could make
new contacts just little bit fancier
than usual on the intellectual level
Sometimes, especially on Mondays
such as this one, the wish is granted.
Here, for instance, is the En-
cyclopedia Britannica f1guratively
knocking on the drama departments
door. In effect, 1t wants an audi
ton to see if 1t can get into, of all
things, THIS act
In its hand, a. hand that falls
aristocratically away from the
chaste monogram, EB, 1t carries a
script. That is more than most
addition seekers do. They leave
scripts to the auditioners. But En-
cyclopedia Britannica is different,
and special.
The script reveals that Britain
nica's scholars do other things than
mediate on the barely movable in
the marble halls where they work.
The fact is they study popular
music. Not as you study it, of
course. with banjo on your knee,
an accordion in the abdomen, or
a trumpet in the teeth.
No, on the contrary, the EB music
lovers contemplate music in terms
of the national moods 1t reflects.
or what goes on in the motions of
John @. Public as he listens to
theaters, movie, and radio music.
Actually, EB's discoveries in this
connection are rot startling, not
half so surprising as the fact that
it bothers with such things at all.
What 1t found, and recorded in its
.1947 Book of the Year, is that Amer
ica's musical taste has reverted to
moon and June" songs; that it Isl
full of romantic and nostalgia i'm
pulses. "The Gypsy" it says, just
like any weary father who finds the
hit parade takes six months to pass
given point, was the years top
song. And, right behind 1t, EBI
points out, we're ooh, What 1t
Seemed to Be-" "Rufnors are Fly
ing" Surrender" Personality" and
Aren't You Glad You're You" (the
answer to which is loud no).
Speaking of music, what Britain
MICA did not find out-and the thing
this drama department must learn
is what's wrong with college campus
life in America that its most popular
song was not IF I'm Not Near the
Girl I Love, I Love the Girl I'm
Near"
If, some time after exams, ma
turally, some college student will
explain this, this department will
drop the subject after printing the
explanation.
That song, from "Finian's Rain
bow" was obviously a clamorous
candidate for top honors on every
campus from Bates and Colby to
U. G: L. A 1t got nowhere in spite
of it's theme and a set Of lyrics that
produced such honest, eloquent con-
fession as:
"If I'm not facing the face I
fancy. ... ..-.. .-
1 fancy the face face"
Any freshman, sophomore, junior,
senior, or grad student want to ex-
plain that?

ing higher wages that have caused
the current high prices.
This is the heart of President
Truman's midyear economic report
said Chairman Emil Rieve of the
Full Employment Committee last
week. Business has continued to
force prices and profits to fantastic
levels" Rieve charged, "and a Re-
publican-controlled Congress has
not even bothered to issue its own
economic report as required by the
Full Employment Act. Much less
has Congress enacted essential
laws for housing, proper rent con-
troll, the Csc minimum wage or a
broad and adequate social security
program"
The spokesman went on: cal
though it is valuable to have such
an Economic report presenting
basic information on trends, it is
to be hoped that by next January
The President will be prepared to
grapple with some of the underly-
ing causes that threaten unemploy-
ment and shrinking national in
come. Many of our most important
industries are controlled by a few
huge companies whose prices and
production policies are set not by
the free play of the market but by
deliberate action of corporate Of
ficials. The people are entitled to
far more information on the opera
tions of these concerns. Enforce
ment of the antitrust laws or their
minor modification may help but
they will not prove adequate for
solution.

of similar shortages. Yet the steel
industry still refuses to expand
capacity because it is convinced
that full employment will not last"

FIRST COP CONGRESS
SINCE 1882 FIZZLES

Washington (LPA)-With thei,
roster of last-minute priority leg
islation trimmed by COP strateg-
lists, the 80th Had Enough" Con-
gress raced with the calendar last
week to make a Saturday night ad-
journment.
"The best Congress that money
could buy" is the way one Wash
ington wag summed it up.
But a look at part of the record
turns what might have been a
wisecrack into a sober evaluation
Here are some things the 80th
| Congress did:
Overrode a presidential veto to
pass the Taft Hartley labor bill.
introduced the doctrine of "Gov-
ernment by appropriation" and
! crippled the federal service by a
series of "Taberized" appropria-
tions for vital government func-
tions.
Paid off the real estate lobbies in
part by passing a "rent control
bill" which will add an estimated
$3.50 million to the rent bill of U.
S. tenants.
Passed two "relieve the rich" tax
bills which would have saved veal
| thy COP contributors millions of
dollars in taxes at the expense OF
low-income groups. President Tru-
man vetoed both bills.
Cut the "Voice of America" to a
whisper by refusing to give the
State Dept money for broadcasts
abroad.
Authorized tariff hikes on wool
which makes U. S. participation in
moves toward low-tariff reciprocal
trade a joke and promised higher
prices for winter clothes. Vetoed
by the President.
Authorized cashing CT terminal
leave bonds, and made some in
creases in living allowances for
student veterans. Awaits the Presi-
dents signature.
Left thousands of Europe's war
victimized displaced persons with
out hope for entry into America
this year by refusing to act on the
Stratton Bill.

Americans to remain homeless be-

cause the real estate lobby doesn't
want any competition from feder-
al-sponsored home building.
Killed bill to boost the fedora
minimum wage law.
Left national health Legislation
in the hopper. Neither the good
bill or the Taft medical dole
plan got beyond the hearing stage
Dropped bills for federal aid to
education from the priority calen-
dar.
Held weeks of hearings on
FEPC legislations; left the matter
for further study.
Carefully avoided taking any
action on the anti-lynching bill.
Stopped gradual improvement of
social security legislation by freez-
ing the present system of contri-
buttons as is.
Ducked the issue Of labor edu-
cation extension service.
Pigeon-holed bill to improve
federal protection against mono
poly control. Didn't even hold
hearings.
Bowed to the power trust and
held no hearings on a bill to set up
a Missouri Valley authority, or
northwest development. No vote on
st. Lawrence water way. "a
Took no action, as provided un-
der the Employment Act of 1916,
to protect the economy against un-
balanced wages-prices-and-profits.
Approved summer tour for a
Senate investigating sYb-commit-
tee to see if prices are RALLY high.
Violated the law passed by the
10th Congress which requires the
Joint Committee to make recon-
mendations based on the Report Of
the Presidents Economic Advisers
by Feb. /.
Failed to put the House-approv-
ed bill to abolish the poll tax on
the Senate calendar.
Haggled over appropriations for
the administration recommended
loans to Greece and Turkey. Final
passage, after weeks of delay un-
dermined hope abroad that Con-
gress will make the Marshall plan
for European aid reality.
