Furman University Looks
Ahead To Better Football Days
BY KEN ALYTA

Greenvllle, ). T.; sept. II
long, hard climb
all uphill-but better days ap-
pears ahead for the football
forces of Furman University.
New head coach Red Smith
may not better the records of
the past two years, but he ap-
proaches the coming season with
confidence.
With half of his 36-man
squad composed of juniors and
some likely looking freshn an
material, Smith believes that by
next year a definite upward
trend will be discenible. He ex-
poets no miracles, but If the
depth so vital to a winning ball
club these days can be provid-
ed, Smith looks for Furman 10
quit the lower regions of the
Southern Conference standings
in another year or two.
Currently, he has few boys
he says "can play football on
anybody's ball club" But tire
Purple Hurricane does not have
the wealth of material necess-
airy to allow freedom Of subst.-
tuition.
No. tailback in Smiths nlodi-
fled single wing attack is Paul
Stombaugh. He can kick, pass
and play defense with the best
of them. Rival coaches report
ed that on occasion last year
he was about as good as they
saw.
Speedy John Little, who can
really move, has been shifted
from end to wingback and is
expected to star.
Steady Jack Pruitt at quart
er and 195-pound fullback Jim
Fletcher look like the Other
starters.
A Louisiana newcomer, Olanc
Silk, may be the running sur.
prise of the club, with othel
backfield chores handled by tail
backs Henry Tezzad and Lamor
Moates; wingback Charles Tho
mas and fullback Harry Ash
worth.
The line makes up in quality
for its shortcomings in quantity

Legion to the Epworth League. They
included such groups as CIO and ALL
unions, the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
the American Association of Univer-
sity Women and numerous civic,
youth, veterans, nationality and farm
associations.
Tugwell said he was confident that
scores of groups who have never had
voice at a national political con-
yention would be enabled to present
their views.
More than $500 delegates and alter
mates from the As states are expected
to attend the convention to organize
the new party.
Both the makeup of the delegations
and the platform are certain to differ
radically from the old party conven-
tons The delegates, Wallace head
quarters said, will be largely workers,
union members, housewives, small
businessmen, professional people and
members of minority and nationality
groups.
The platform, both in foreign pol
icy and on domestic issues, is certain
to contrast sharply with that of both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties. To date the Wallace organiza-
ton has emphasized the argument
that there is actually no difference
between the old parties and that they
have united in a bipartisan allegiance
to Wall Street financial interests.
Both are charged with conspiring
against the interests of American
workers, members of minority groups,

These committees make recommen-

by the board or the executive com

either the board or the executive com
mittee.
He points out that while many
men from small companies and from
firms in isolated sections of the coun-
try are on the committees, they can
not afford to give continued service.
"The actual situation, therefore,"
he continues, sis such that from
1888 to 1916, 1925 corporations have
held SO percent of all the director
ships. 885 of the executive commit
tee memberships, 79 percent of the
finance committee memberships,
and So percent of the major execu-
tive offices. This group constitutes
approximately 0.8 percent of current
membership and has never exceed
ed 4 percent. The self-perpetuating
characteristic of the active minor
ity is indicated in the fact that

reds of national organizations
to send representatives to ap-
pear before the platform COM

on domestic and foreign issues.
Tugwell former under secretary OF
agriculture and former governor of
Puerto Rico, was named provisional
chairman of the platform committee
at a conference of the National Wal
lace for President Committee in Chi
cago last April.
The platform committee will hold
hearings, open to both the public and
nress. in the ballroom of convention
hall July 81 and %, the two days i'm
mediately preceding the convention.
"For wears the Republicans have
held conventions of machine pol1tl-
clans who listen to the lobbyists OF
business interests and then proceed
TO write a platform for the privi-
legged few Tugwell said.
This year the Democratic conven-
ton will be cut ON the same pattern.

the other hand, will be convention

Not since the days of q. S.
Grant and the carpetbaggers
has this country witnessed a
greater congregation of misfits
attempting to direct the future
of this great nation. From their deeds
(and misdeeds) it seems safe as
sumption that the average mentality

marked on the government payroll
these past two years, would not ex-
coed that of a seven-year-old child
and possibly a note of apology is in
order to the latter.
Although the S0th Congress Stub
bornly refused to do anything in the
way of increasing minimum wage
standards that our poorest paid, un-
organized workers might have bare
subsistence living, it did pass the
Taft Hartley act This act, ont only
has disrupted a goodly portion of
the labor-managemen relations of
the nation; has paved the way for
wrecking much of the labor move
ment, but also has resulted in more
than five times as many people (bu-
reaucrats) being employed by the
NLRB to carry out its enforcement.

Social Action Department OF
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference, called "the most
damaging Indictment of the
NAM ever published"
The article, "NAM: Spokesman for
Industry" is by Alfred S. Cleveland,
lecturer at the University of Califor-
MIA School of Business and a business
consultant himself
Cleveland declares that MANS
structure is such that a Compare
lively few companies control what
it does, that its policies are created
without enough debate by the mem
bership, and that, to put it bIuntIy,
the NAM creates class conflicts.
Discussing how NAM maneuvers to
present united front" Cleveland
says:
Complete unity can only be
achieved through a program of mean
ingless generalities or naturalization
of the narrowest of group interests.
(To a large extent this course has
been followed by NAM in the past
under the apparent belief that public
opinion can be similarly channeled
through the use of advertising tech
niques.)
"The fallacy and tragedy of this
type of thinking is that it solves no
basic problems, introduces violent
emotion into areas already split by
and torn by such feelings, widens the
gaps between economic groups, and
forces society. acting through govern

gle within bounds.
1.-THE final goal then becomes gov
eminent itself-a tremendous battle
for power in which each side, using
the same weapons, attempts to con-
quer by creating public fear of other
important and essential elements
of society"
Cleveland believes there is little
democracy in the formulation of NAM
policies. He states that "the associ-
atoms formal structure is closely
patterned along business lines, with
the result that the rank and file mem
bers enjoy very limited participation
in policy making"
