Even Traffic Committees Are Human . . .
' “Students may park their vehicles on
College streets and in employee lots after
Fp. m. on Mondays through Fridays, Sat
urday afternoons and aU day Sundays.
Cars must not be parked in places other
than their assigned parking areas after 2
a. m. each night, except Saturday night.”
This is the new reading of a paragraph
on page 27 of the College Regulations
which deals with traffic regulations. The
parking change was passed lay’ the Col
lege Traffic Committee after they had re
ceived a recommendation to that effect
submitted by the Student Senate Traffic

this most recent action by the College st f^ t improvements would have to wait a
Traffic Committee. Now cars may be park
ed outside dormitories and in employees

The TVaffic Committee of the Student

The CIO: Getting on the Right Side ctf the Ocean
while.
Such action as was taken by the Col
lege Traffic Committee is an improvement
of existing conditions, without additional
expenditures. It is an enlightened approaclii
toward making better use of the facilities
we already'have. The new rule will be o|f
great convenience to car owners who are
on the campus over the weekends.
The change has the effect of makln
us feef that everybody—students, emplo;
cos and administrative committees-
.v*
Like a giant octopus who finds out that
some pf his tentacles are disease infested,
the CIO is hacking off several of its in
fested tentacles and trying to grow new
ones in their places. _
The-diseased tentacles have been seized-
by Communist domination, and the CIO
had rather do without these unions than
have them as they are. The latest union
to become disaffiliated with the CIO is the
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers (44,000).
In this union, like other organizations
recently kicked out by Mother CIO, Com
munists have infiltrated into top union
offices and their positions have become
segure even beyond union members’ will.
Other CIO union|s to be severed from
the great industrial union parent are the
Office and Professional Workers, the Food
Tobacco and Agricultural Workers, the
Public Workers, the United Electrical
Workers, and the Farm Equipment Work
ers. This action appears to have been taken
after the CIO had exhausted all tricks,
efforts, and maneuvers to dislodge the
communists. ; <
The CIO has not abandoned workers
in these disaffiliated industries. Rather the
CIO is setting up new unions in those in
dustries and appeal is being made for
, workers to quit the communist-ridden un
ions aftd join the new CIO unions.
Considerable success along this line has
been achieved in the electrical industry and
National Labor Regulations Board elec
tions; are being held in a number of electri
cal manufacturing plants to decide whetlj-.
er the old communist United Electrical
Radio and Machine Workers expelled last
fall from the CIO or the new International
Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers, CIO, will represent workers at
bargaining conferences. Next Tuesday,
28,000 General Motors workers will vote
on this issue.
When the CIO first began chopping off
its communist diseased unions, loud cries
were heard within the monstrous labor:
organization. Now, their protests are but
a whisper.
The CIO has discovered (later than it
should havie, some criticize)! that the inter
ests of American labor and jthe interests of
the Soviet Union are not compatible apd
they do not go hand-in-hand. The two in
terests are diametrically opposed.
These steg® by the CIO to purge itsejlf
of Communist led unions receives the hear
ty approval: of all thinking Americans,
whether these Americans agree with other
CIO policies br not.
Once it has been established that labor
and management are working for thejir
own interpretations of a better Americja,
interpretations not colored by foreign con
cepts, whatever progress and achievement
either or both pjarties make, the national
good will be served.
The CIO has done much to establish
itself with an interpretation of a better
America uncolored by conflicting political
ideologies from nations unsympathetic
American democracy.

‘No 9 Says Truman
On Loyalty Files
Washington, Feb, 24—(A*! President Truman presisted in a stern
refusal today to give Congress, confidential ‘'loyalty" files on federal
employees, t 'f- ; . ' l . , • \ j
Ho aald he has promised'the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
he will otherwise cooperate with it in disproving what he called false
charges made by Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) that a communist ring
exists in the Bute Department.
He told it news cqnfei'enee that subpoena powers voted by the
Senate for the committee Investigators 'would make no difference to
him. He said It would be pretty hard to serve a subpoena on the presi
dent slnee the government Xffjirds him protection against such service,
Mr, Truman emphasized that his directive to government depart
ments to refuse congressional demands for offlclsl files on loyalty In
vestigations still stands. This directive provides that all such demands
be turned over to him by the departments.
~ Jokes With Newsmen
The president laughed and Joked with the, hcwsmeii today in
contrast to the sharp exchanges of last week wheh they questioned
him regarding an exclusive interview he gave Arthur Krock of the
New York Times.
Once more h,e rejected demands in and out of Congress that some
new dramatic approach be made to Russia in the cold War. He said
he doesn’t eeO how it can be settled in that manner. Ho added this
country has made every approach possible in the United Nations in an
effort to reach an agreement on atomic controls, but jit has been un
able to get one. : f \
f He said there have been no new peace feelers from Russia.
Refuses Comment
Mr. Truman refused to comment on the bill passed by the Housd
today setting iip a Fair Employment Practices Commission stripped
of enforcement powers. But he referred newsmen to his previous mes-i,
sages on the subject in which he called for a commission “with author
ity” to prevent discrimination in employment based on race,, color, re
ligion or national origin.
Asked if it would be possible to legislate against racial-discrimin
ation and still leave employers, free to hire and fire as they please, the
president replied he always thought so.
He responded good naturedly when asked how he classed a state
ment by Senator Byrd (D-Va) attacking his budget. That was purely
political, he skid, grinning. j
Asked about Wisconsin Democrats quoting him as hoping Sena
tor Wiley (R-Wis) will be replaced by a democrat this fall, he chuckled
and replied he is exceedingly hopeful a great many Republicans will
be reblaced by Democrats. & p,

The prodigal sob hat
Stubby James Cagney, who de

years ago, and with brother Wil

meeting only mild success.
“White Heat,” Guion’s current
attraction, reunites Cagney not

but with the gangster type role
which brought him instant suc

his popularity through such films
as “The Roaring Twenties’,, and

Cagney has played other roles,

But we’ve always favored him
as a tough guy, cocky and belig-
gefent, sheering at the world.
Yes, the Cag is back as a gang
ster, a tough,: swaggering, belli
cose little banty rooster, hurling
spittle, derisive laughter and char
acter aspersions into the hateful
faces of cops, and pushing the
babes around, cave-man style.
The complex ; role of Cody Jiar-
rett, psychopathic killer wraught
with a chronic Oedipus-complex,
offers Cagney his most substan
tial screen undertaking to date.
Through Cagney’s sensitive inter
pretation under the guidance of
director Raoul Walsh, Cody Jar-
rett emerges as a sympathetic
and credible’ screen port rat, a
stark reminder 1 of the wakes of
crime and the part which foul
social environment plays in fos-
tering^crime.
Like previous Cagney gang
ster prototypes. Cody is a is
a thorough hoodlum, but at the
same, time he’s thoroughly hu
man. Good ami bad are mixed
in his character, the latter be
Jr
ing dominant because of a twist

Since early childhood, (Jody has
worshipped his mother (well-play

robbery and murder.
Clever little Cody cagily,
avoids the charges by fleeing
North and pleading guilty to a
less serious offense committed
there earlier. Sentenced to s
short term, he expects to make
it even shorter through the ef
forts of his mother.
But his best laid schemes go
astray when mother is killed and
wife stolen by Big Ed (Steve
Brodie), a factious mejnber of the
gang. And to top that, the FBI
sends an undercover man (Ed
mond O’Brien) to prison, under
the gujse of] a convict to draw a;
confession fp-om Cody to the
dual California crimes.'
What ensuies may be discovered
at Guion today. It should suffice
now to say that “White Heat” is
an altogether intelligently con
structed screen play, handled-
flawlessly by cast And director,
and packed with conflict.
