Oct. 1. 1952 Letters POGO (Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of articles by Roger Varrington, Daily Kansas staffman, who spent the summer touring Europe.) German Youth Fear 'Inevitable' Civil War World War III is expected soon by many Germans despite the fact that most of them have come to dread wars. Perhaps it is because they are close to the problem of conflicting Russian and free world philosophies. Perhaps it is something in their training that has taught them war is the only solution to differences. Whatever the reason, there is definitely a fear among the German people that still another war will have to be fought before there can be peace. Almost every evening this summer I stayed in a hostel or camp that was housing one or more of the large groups of German youth that are touring all over Europe. Talking to these college age young people I found much more concern expressed about war than from any other group. The concern springs from the fact that their homeland is now a split nation being ruled by two philosophies that are poles apart in beliefs. It is dividing Germany into two distinct halves. "This means we will have a civil war in Germany," said 20-year-old Peter HerKrath, who lives near the Black Forest. There will be Germans fighting Germans," he said, although those fighting for the Russians will be doing so against their will." Peter told how he had been a member of the Hitler Youth movement and had been required to go out after air raids and help with the wounded and dead. He told how his father had been a major on the Russian front for over a year and how two uncles had been killed there. "Communism is a false religion which claims its people only through force and must hold them by force. Such a power cannot last," he said. Another young German, who speaks six languages and is preparing for the diplomatic service of his country, expressed the same feeling about the "inevitable war." "There can be no peace as long as there are two strong powers in the world that differ so in philosophy," he said. "I think we are on the way to peace but there must be one more war. Perhaps they will always have to be one more war," he added sadly. "We all learned how terrible and ugly war is and we don't want any more of it," he said. "But, as much as we hate war, we would not hesitate to fight in a war against the Russians. Our soldiers learned in the last war what barbarians they are." he said. Ernest E. Nemeth, who played football for Denver university, claimed workmen's compensation last year after he received an injury in a game. By UNITED PRESS News Briefs New York—(U.P.)—Bessie Greene's false teeth put the bite on her last night. Bessie, a 39-year-old domestic with a long criminal record, was picked up by police as she fled the scene of a purse snatching. At police headquarters it was dis-covered the purse was empty and a search of Bessie indicated she had no money on her. However, police noticed she was having trouble with her false teeth and ordered her to open her mouth. Out fell the denture along with two $10s, a $20 and one single. Niagara Falls, Ont. — (U.P.) — Robert Johnston, a strawberry farmer, reported today the unseasonably warm weather has fooled his strawberry plants. They have begun producing a second crop. *** Chico got into trouble Saturday night when he bit a policeman. He was taken to police headquarters where he broke loose and tore up bushels of paper. He was then given a temporary home by a service station operator but he soon brought Chico to the humane society after the monkey had bitten six of his seven children. Windsor, Ont. — (U,P)— Chico, a three-year-old monkey, is frustrated, his master said today. * * Finally George Hardy, Chico's owner, came for the animal. He explained that Chico was frustrated and all he needed was a female companion. Boston—(U.P.)—Massachusetts tax commissioner Henry F. Long put the bite on a thoroughbred collie today who had recently inherited $5,000. FACTS Man Labels Pach Platform Petty' Daily, Karson, Editors Daily Kansan Editor: ** ** It's nice to see that Pachacamac is still in the same old rut. They have continually maintained that campus politics is "petty" in order to discourage participation on the part of those who might oppose their iron rule, and their "party policy for the coming year" as announced in Friday's Daily Kansan would indicate that they are trying to prove their point. "Dog or no dog," said the commissioner, "she must pay an inheritance tax." But let us compare their program to that of FACTS. Pachacamac proposes: Chicago — (U.P.)—A meal of jellied consomme, half a fried chicken, parsley, potatoes and buttered peas cost an even $1 at the Carson Men's grill yesterday. 1. More on-campus parking space. This is certainly worth while and of great interest to those students fortunate enough to own cars, but how does it compare in importance to the problem of adequate housing for the 2,500 students in private homes? Last year the FACTS controlled Student Council established a Student Housing committee, over Pach opposition which is still active in inspecting student living quarters. 2. Revision of the ACS smoking bill. There has been little change in the regulations since they were first established, nor is there much need for any. How does this compare with the problem of discrimination on the basis of race, religion, and residence which plagues many hundreds of students? How petty can you get? 3. Reorganization of the All Student Council. This is certainly many years overdue, many years of Pach rule, incidentally, and is called for in the FACTS platform 4. The exemption of seniors from final exams. This is of great importance to some 500 seniors and, of course, has FACTS party backing as well, but how does it compare to the problem faced by some 2,800 students who find it necessary to work part time while attending KU? And in general, how does the narrow, petty program of Pach compare to the responsibility FACTS feels for training reliable political leaders for the future of our country, and for the education of the 6.800 KU students in the functions and responsibilities of good citizenship? Yes, it's nice to see Pach is still in the same old rut. Perhaps the freshmen will note the difference between the two parties and exercise their power to return the ASC to FACTS leadership by electing two FACTS freshmen representatives on November 5. Will Adams Senator Needs Ike The Indiana senatorial contest between incumbent William E. Jenner, Republican, and Gov. Henry F. Schricker, Democrat, is likely to have an important bearing on the presidential race. Jenner Position Shaky In Crucial Indiana Race Schricker first was elected governor in 1940, the only Democrat to be elected governor in the Midwest that year. All other elective offices in Indiana were swept by big Republican majorities. He carried the state by 140,000 votes in 1948 while President Truman lost by 13,000. He has stood against all aid to foreign countries and international involvements, including both the Marshall plan and NATO. He has a conservative record on domestic issues. If Governor Schricker, the man who placed Stevenson in nomination at the Democratic convention, should win the Senate race, there is a good chance for Stevenson to obtain Indiana's 13 electoral votes likely to have an important bearing on the policy. Although Senator Jenner, 44, is a powerful vote-getter, he is running for re-election against a very popular figure. Stevenson's good neighbor relationship, plus the lethargy of the Taft people and the defection of the Chicago Tribune, have given him a good chance in Indiana. One reason for Schricker's popularity is that although he started in politics as a New Dealer, he established himself as a middle-of-the-road governor, keeping close to the people, or, as he puts it, "eatin', speakin', and shakin' hands" with them. The first veteran of World aWr II to be elected to the senate, Jenner is about the nearest thing to an isolationist remaining in Congress. He is a close associate of Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. The Republican position is hur- by the fact that Jenner and Eisenhower are miles apart on foreign policy. A few weeks ago the senator said, "If I am wrong, you haven't hurt country any. But if Eisenhower and the internationalists are wrong and I am right, then we will have destroyed our most important possession, the American republic." Jenner says he is supporting Ike, but if Ike carries Indiana, it will be in spite of Jenner. He is one of several senators who are called Ike's "new crusaders." These senators, up for re-election, need and demand Ike's ardent support, but are not in harmony with his platform. The Indiana senator also has declined to co-operate with the proIke Republican nominee for governor of Indiana. Jenner is vulnerable on two counts. His recent attack on General of the Army George C. Marshall cost him some support. The other weak point is the $150 a month he receives as disability retirement pay from the Air Force for an eye infection picked up during the war. Under the Federal Dual Compensation act of 1932, no person holding a federal position which pays more than $3,000 a year can accept a commissioned officer's retirement pay unless his disability was a direct result of enemy action, and Jenner's apparently wasn't. This is why the senator is referred to as "Indiana's little Nixon." In Indiana, political observers give Schricker an excellent chance to unseat Jenner. The latest Pulliam poll, most reliable in the state, showed Schricker leading Jenner 43.1 per cent to 37.8 per cent, with the remainder of the voters undecided. Jenner's one chance for victory lies in fastening himself to Ike's coattails, for this same poll showed Ike far ahead of Stevenson. If Ike carries Indiana by 50,000 to 100,000 votes, he might sweep Jenner in with him.
