Ex-Nazi Financier Says ERP Not Final Solution
Hamburg, Oct. 11-(UP)-The key to European recovery, as it has been since 1880, is the export of people and goods. The European Recovery program at best is a temporary solution which will be forgotten in 10 years. Hjalmar Schacht said today.
years, John.
Schacht, prewar mastermind of German finances, said he had plans for Germany's recovery if the Western occupation powers cared to put him to work.
"I have no desire to take part in political life. My political activities are confined to finding three heated rooms and a bathroom with running water.
The white-haired, 71-year-old former Nazi finance minister is now living in a two-room log cabin outside Hamburg.
Mr. Schacht was acquitted of war crimes by the international military tribunal at Nurember. He spent more than three years, first at Nurember, and later in Ludwigsburg prison, proving he was not a faithful Nazi.
"We must settle down to the job of exporting hundreds of thousands of persons from the overcrowded countries of Europe to sparsely populated new lands, then follow up with an increased export of goods," he says.
"I have plans for the financial and economic recovery of my country, but they are plans which I could put into effect only if I met the right people and was given a free hand.
"But, if my experience and worth as an economist and financier will contribute to a stable economic situation in Europe and throughout the world today, I will gladly meet anyone in a position to implement my theories."
Mr. Schacht said the United States is the only nation that can guarantee world peace and economic prosperity.
"But the Marshall plan is only a temporary solution. Nobody expects America to continue feeding and financing the world for any length of time, but they can guide world trade and economy toward recovery."
"What difference can the Marshall Man make in the long run? In 10 years it will be forgotten."
Dr. Weinaug Plans Course
A course for seniors and graduate students dealing with phase behavior and physical properties of hydrocarbons under high pressures and temperatures is planned by the new chairman of the petroleum engineering department. He is Charles F. Weinaug, associate professor of petroleum engineering.
Dr. Weinaug came to the University from the University of Texas where he was an associate professor of petroleum engineering in the bureau of engineering research. Before he went to the University of Texas he was employed by Phillips Petroleum company. During the war he did plant liaison work and was on the operating committee for the Phillips synthetic rubber plant at Plains, Texas.
He received bachelor of science, master of science, and doctor of philosophy degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan between 1929 and 1942. In 1942 he went to work for Phillips and did production research work for six months.
At the University of Texas he did research on mixtures that will form retrograde condensates. He hopes to continue that work here/
Dr. Weinaug is married and has one son.

OU Has Holiday For Texas Win
Norman, Okla., Oct. 11—(UP)—This was Victory over Texas on the University of Oklahoma campus, and except for a few ploadding law and science students, it was a holiday.
Most of the 6,000 or more students who converged on Dallas Saturday to see the Sooners whip Texas, 20-14, had returned here. Also back home were an estimated 12,000 to 15,000 other Oklahomaans who streamed across Red river for the big game.
Highways north of Dallas were congested Sunday by northbound Oklahomaans. Most of the Homecoming fans were dog-tired after a night of celebrating Oklahoma's first triumph over the Longhorns in nine years.
V-T parties ran as late as 6 a.m.
Sunday in some of the bigger Dallas
hotels. A three-alarm fire in
downtown Dallas at 2:30 a.m. Sunday gave
many of the visiting Oklahomaan's an
extra thrill.
Only classes in session here today were in the law building, but several laboratories in science departments were open for students, and the big library did a fair business.
Today's holiday had been granted, conditional on an O.U. victory, by President George Cross. Mr. Cross announced the holiday plans before attending the game himself.
If Planets Invade Earth, US,Reds Must Join Hands
London—(UP)—Dr. Olaf Stapledon, authority on sociology and philosophy, predicted today that the United States and Russia one day will fight as allies in the greatest of all wars—against invaders from other worlds.
He addressed the British Interplanetary society on ethical and religious questions expected to arise when explorers from Earth start dropping in on the moon, Mars, Venus, Saturn, and other planets regarded as within reach of atomically-propelled craft.
Dr. Stapledon expressed the hope that if the earth won the interplanetary war it would not exploit the conquered races—assuming there were any to conquer.
The doctor said the present inability of the East and West to agree on earth is not a very hopeful sign man can agree with neighbors out in space—if any, thus, he speculated, there probably will be some sort of universal war.
Dr. Stapleton thought the breeding of pioneers for Mars should start with Tibetan stock, men used to rarefied air and cold.
For Jupiter, which has tremendous gravity, Dr. Stapledon suggested the breeding of a four-legged race with noses like the trunks of elephants, plus sensitive grippers on the tips.
Pioneers for hot Venus, he said, should be bred from tribes living on the equator.
"It would probably be desirable to have two such trunks, if not three," the doctor said.
The doctor, outlining the correct ethical approach to the other planets, said:
"If any of them are inhabited by intelligent beings, then clearly man

should do his utmost to adopt a relationship of genuine community and cooperate with them for mutual enrichment, both economic and spiritual."
The balance of the doctor's address also was out of this world.

Meiklejohn Will Lecture On Humanities
Seasonal cold cases, mixed with a few influenza illnesses, has kept the Watkins hospital staff busy the past week. Then intramural football added three more patients, one serious.
Alexander Meiklejohn, author,
philosopher, and educator will speak
on "Inclinations and Obligations" at
8:00 p.m. tonight in Fraser theater.
His will be the first lecture in the
humanities series this year.
Mr. Meiklejohn was a member of the United States delegation to the November, 1945, meeting in London at which the charter of U.N.E.S.C.O. was formulated and recommended for adoption. The past year he gave the annual Howison lecture in philosophy at the University of California.
He graduated from Brown university in 1893 and received his doctor of Philosophy degree at Cornell university in 1897. He returned to Brown university as professor of logic and metaphysics. He was dean of the faculty there from 1901 to 1912.
From 1912 to 1924 Mr. Meiklejohn was president of Amherst college. He resigned in 1926 to become professor of philosophy at the University of Wisconsin. In the fall of 1927 he set up an experimental college at Wisconsin. He applied his theory that an intensive study of one civilization could fit the student for a well adjusted life in his own day and age. He worked on the principle of individual instruction with group discussion.
His views on education are explained in his books "The Liberal College" and "Freedom and the College."
Mr. Meiklejohn is a member of the American Philosophical society, American psychological association, Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, and Theta Delta Chi.
He was chairman of the school for Social Studies in San Francisco from 1933 to 1936 and was visiting professor at Dartmouth college in 1938 and at St. John's college in 1940.
His latest book is "Free Speech and It's Relation to Self-Government." Other books Mr. Meiklejohn has written are: "Philosophy," "The Experimental College," "What does America Mean," and "Education Between Two Worlds."
Colds Keep Hospital Busy

Bell, business senior, sprained his ankle.
Dr. Cautenus reports 12 cases of influenza are being treated. "This number, however, is normal for this time of year," he said. "We have these cases under observation and are making tests to determine the type of vaccine which will be required to combat a possible epidemic."
Dr. Canuteson advises that students desiring flu shots should wait until shortly before Thanksgiving vacation when the proper vaccine should be available.
