Just Pessimists . . .
Students Won't Believe 'Death of Hitler' Theory
"Hitler may be dead," stated the former Russian ambassador speaking on the March of Time program Thursday night.
Pointing to the failure of the fuchrher to deliver his own address on the anniversary of his rise to power, the former ambassador suggested that the three-day period of mourning in Germany might be for a deeper tragedy than the loss of Stalin's grad. I think there are two possible results: that the Government
On the University campus the concensus appears to be extreme skepticism of the report. In answer to the questions, "Do you believe the report could be true?" and "If it were true, what would be the effect on Germany and the allied war effort?" campus opinion was summarized in the following statements:
Mary Hiliff, college senior; "I don't believe the report, but I think the Nazi regime is on the skids anyway, and the death of Hitler would speed it up."
Dean Sims, college junior: "I put little faith in the possibility of Hitler's death. If he were dead, however, I think disunity in Germany would result, and Allied resistance would be stiffened if they knew about it."
Dr. H. B. Chubb of the political science department: "I think it is hardly possible that Hitler is dead. However, I think there would be little immediate change in the internal regime of Germany because social and political conditions bring an ideal to the fore, and no one man may be said to be responsible. Hitley, therefore, is merely the personification of an ideal, and his death now would not result in any immediate change."
Cari Unrub, engineering senior:
"I usually take such reports with a grain of salt. If the report were true. I believe it would have a demoralizing effect on Germany."
Ann Starr, sophomore pre-medic:
"I don't believe the report, but if it were true, I think it would be too bad, because I think Hitler should live to be stripped of his power and glory in the sight of the German people. His death at this point would leave him a hero and a martyr in the eyes of his people."
Prof. Marston McCluggage of the sociology department: "I would view such reports with skepticism as they are likely to be the result of wishful thinking. If Hitler were dead,
I think there are two possible results; that the German army elicite would take over and attempt a negotiated peace, or that more moderate persons would try to establish a more liberal government."
Ise Appointed To Minimum Wage Rate Committee
Professor Ise was named as one of the 12 public members of the committee which is composed of an equal number of representatives of employees and employers in the industry. The appointment was made by L. Metcalfe Walling, national administrator of the wage-hour division.
Prof. John Ise, chairman of the economist department at the University, has been appointed recently to a national committee to establish a minimum wage rate in the combined metal, plastics, machinery, instrument and allied industries, Walter W. King, regional director of the wage-hour and public contracts divisions of the U.S. department of labor reported today.
The function of the committee is to determine whether economic, competitive and employment conditions in the industries warrant the establishment of a minimum wage rate of 40 cents per hour under the fair labor standards act. The general minimum under the act is 30 cents per hour.
Mr. King said that the committee will hold its first meeting in New York City, Feb. 16. He pointed out that appointment of the committee was a step toward "streamlining the division's wage-order procedure." Ordinarily, studies of these complex industries, would require appointment of 15 or 20 such committees. The industries employ about 7,500,-000 workers.
