Mill of Public Opinion Continues To Grind on Trout Racial Discrimination, Union Finances and OtheT Topics jTTj lUcio Oc oFs cj a- mine ev Besson! Are AH Foeta Bind? WAS Hamlet madT Are men apart, cloistered clan, upon whom men of prose Intent should and do look with suspicion? Are. they teched? Several apropos the Eire pond case, have boldly taken the ground that, mentally, poets are not all they should be. Thoughts Induced by Ileardin A Lnrge Bunch of Sour Grapes It 1 consistent with the general contrariness of human nature that the UNO site committee, besieged by representatives begging for consideration'' for localities from Eastporf, Maine, to San Francisco, California, has stilled on an area where it appear net to be wanted. With leading citizen in half the towns in the country, biting their lips to keep back the tears cf disappointment; with San Francisco refusing to give up even now, the elite of Greenwich and Stamford are letting it be known that they have no ambition to be the world capital and do not want the landscape cluttered up with a lot of foreigners. Another sidelight that Is rather entertaining is the apparent; fact that the prime consideration of a large percentage of the UNO delegates has been the accessibility of 'cultural advantages, which being interpreted, has meant proximity to the Great White Way.

The delegates of localities which boasted of peace, quiet, natural scenery and rustic charms have been wasting their breath. Such advantages are not what the Europeans are looking for at all; they appear-' to love tha garish day or rather, the garish night. 1 To those local citizens who have worked hard to the committee to look over the advantages of Lenox, there are some consolations. There Is no question that from the point cl view of putting Berkshire County on the map and from commercial considerations, the establishment of the UNO In Lenox would have been a great thing. But there has been a question in the minds of many of the countys most ardent boosters whether the establishment here of the, world Capital Would, not have very serious drawbck5f and whether the area would not losl in or.i Eaton actually approve of system which would admit Jews.

Negroes; Catholics, Baptists, Quakers, chakers. Episcopalians and members of all the other races and religions to colleges on the basis of the proportion of the particular group to the entire population? Of course, the quota system does not actually operate In this manner; if It did, perhaps Mr. Eaton would not be so ready to accept It. It has been used only -against, the so-called minority groups with the Negroes, Jews and Catholics ss the chief victim. And what happens to scholastic records under the quota If the quota for Negroes for example, were already filled in some college, even a record of 100 per cent would not be enough for admission.

Instead, tome representative of another group A would have to come In even if his grades Were lower than the Negro's. The quota concept simply has no place in our democracy. Selective Service doe not us It in selecting men for military service; the basis for selection there I fitness and that should be the sole criterion for selection of students in our college and universities. Another statement mad by Mr. Eaton is entirely misleading and misrepresents the purpose of the proposed Start University of New York.

He states that there is a movement on in Albany to found a State University in New York to take car of the Negroes, Jew and Catholics who are, according to the proponents of the scheme, discriminated argainst by private institutions. This statement is ten-tenths poppy-cock, to use Mr Eatons terminology. The univer-sty would admit students from all religious and racial groups with no discrimination or selection except on scholastic and would not be limited to the three groups named, a Mr. Eaton deliberately or accidentally Implies. ,1.

I WILLIAM J. WHITE. Dalton. Replying ta Mr Eaton To tb Xdltec at THZ JCAOIX: Although Mr. Eaton, In bis column of Jan.

39, states that his discussion of the enrollment situation in colleges has nothing to do with his accompanying comments on the. labeling of Pittsfield as a picturesque hamlet by the New York Times, this reader wonders. Mr. Eaton' certainly must h.Tv been sheltered in some secluded spot to be so protected from the harsh realities of this world as to dismiss discrimination in colleges against Negroes, Jews and Catholics nine-tenths poppy-cock. To one who spent 13 years in connection with universities, such a statement sounds extremely naive.

Facts to prove that such discrimination is constantly being practiced have been collected by more than one agency and have been published in sources which available In any public library. Recently the hallowed halls of Harvard were subjected to an airing which definitely pointed to discrimination practiced there: in another major university the situation became so obviously odoriferous that the more enlightened members of the faculty had the regi-trar on the carpet at a faculty meeting to explain actions. As 4 matter of fact, Mr. Eaton admits that discrimination exists In a sen tence which is more shocking In what It implies than in what it actually says. II simply ststes that in the past many private institutions have carefully adjusted their adm ssions by quotas, in order to keep a balance of races and religions.

The wording of that sentence 'Implies Mr. Eatons approved of a quota system which has been characteristic of the most reactionary European countries and the Importation cf 'whch to our own country has decried by all democratic Individuals and organizations. The Imp bed approval by Mr. Eaton of thiseiuota system involves a basic change in the traditional concepts jOf American democracy. We have always prided ourselves In this country on the fact tha success is based on at.li'v and not oa aactulry or piead.

Strangely enough, quite the contrary seems to be the case. Up to the present time he has given a brilliant performance, as has been amply testified 'to in this newspapers public correspondence columns. Jn fact, it Is hard to escape the conclusion that Mr. Perry has so much on the ball that his competence itself is the seat trou- ble. Some of our correspondents een blunt enough to suggest that Cert.i ccun-cilmen urge the unseemly haste for jth examination because this would bar Mrj.

Perry from taking it. fassachusetts civil kervice regulations require that a person re Jda la the state for one year before being eligible to taka a civil service position. Mr. Ferrys residential requirement, will not met un- til Ccpt. 1.

Thus to carry tha inference cf cf cur correspondents to. a logical conclusion, the City Councidhas allowed it- self to be put in-'the position of fearing to let Mr. Perry, who, incidentally, 14 himself a veteran, take the examination lest he do entirely too well in it against the field. In other words, unless there Is some other motive of which we know not, the Council has been secured of going out of its way to say that it is interested In competence in municipal personnel only -if that compe-, tence Is home-grown $nd has a. string votes attached to it.

I--- Thats a hell of way to run a railroad. We can think of no quicker way to run into the ground a citys recreational program or educational system than by following it It takes courage to serve the best interests cf all the people by seeking out and putting on the public payroll the best possible talent available for the' money offered.

IosdLiEty That Senate Ilay Reject Pauley Nomination Edwin W. Pauley is really being taken for a ride by members of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee considering his nomination tq be undersecretary of the Navy. The committee is going with a fine-tooth, comb over, the nominees activities in the petroleum industry. If Mr.

Pauley, becomes undersecretary, everybody will expect him eventually to succeed James Forrestal as secretary of the Navy. And the secretary controls the Navys oil reserves. 'Many Republican senators' may be expected to cast a jaundiced 'eye on the nominee because- cf his three-year stretch, 1942-45, as acting treasurer and treasurer cf the Democratic National Com; mittee. Most cf the New Dealish Democrats mistrust his economic and social outlook. At the 1344 Democratic national convention, Pauley worked for Truman as against Wallace for the vice-presidential nomination.

Rejection cf a nomination for head cf an executive' department is rare. In the history of the nation only six Cabinet nominations have been rejected, only one La the last 75 years. This last rejection came in 1325 when the Senate refused to confirm Charles B. Warren, once connected with sugar corporations charged with monopolistic practices, as attorney general. The late Ilarry L.

Hopkins scraped through in 1933 as secretary cf Commerce by vote cf 53 to 27. Henry L. Stimson was confirmed as' secretary cf War in 1313 by 53 to 23, and last year, after much maneuvering, Henry A.

4 I know of a fellow, married and with a family, who went the committee for a helping hand. He had to answer quite a tew questions. One of the first ques'aons was, how long have you been in the union? When he got through answering be had to sign a paper saying he would pay the money back at so much money a week. Well, they did give him a few dollars. but think they are darn cheap.

Members of the union pay a dollar a month for union dues. I would like to ask Mr. Callahan where all the money la going that they get union dues? bor an estimate let's say there ar 70CO members here at die GE. That would bring a total of $7000 coining In for the union dues, not mentioning the donations of certain business men. There ar a lot of people who would like to know if the big boys in the union welfare committee are going to pay back so much a week Eke eusr union members have to, or ire they living on the interest of their money? Suppose a man has a large family thut gops to the union, welfare for hep.

They help him, jture, but if he hs to pay It back so muck a week out of ho poy, how is going to get caught up?
