More Important Than Bridges There is going to be a lot of discussion about the move to deport Harry Bridges, the west coast longshoremen's leader. Most of it is going to be beside the point. There will be great debate on whether Bridges' rights are being infringed upon, debate on whether the new proceedings pro-ceedings against him smack of persecution. All that we are not discussing here, because it is not the most important 'phase of the question. i Suppose Bridges is deported. Does anyone suppose that such an act will change the situation in the unions over which Bridges has exerted leadership and influence? Does anyone J suppose that the followers he has led along a path so closely parallel to the Communist Party line will suddenly change just because an individual has been deported? Will the de-'portation, de-'portation, for example, of Mrs. Browder, wife of the general secretary of the Communist Party, have the slightest effect, except perhaps to strengthen the beliefs of all people who in-.cline in-.cline to sympathy? Of course not. The whole history of ithe radical movement for 100 years shows the futility of such efforts to silence the individual. Organizations should be won away from such leadership, leader-ship, not by breaking the leaders nor by breaking the organizations. organ-izations. Both courses are futile. The only course which offers real hope is the continued demonstration that such .-leadership is fatal. It was fatal to the German trade unions; : fatal to the French; fatal to the Spanish. It is already beginning be-ginning to be worse than a handicap to the American, as it jhas proved itself toTiave been to the British. 5 Whether Harry Bridsres is a Communist or not, we don't pretend to know. Considerable investigation with facilities : beyond our own have failed to give a clear-cut answer. But j in these da3's when the regular Communist procedure is to ;deny membership and to lead non-members down the party : line, it doesn't matter so much, anyway. The only question ?is: does the man's course over a period of years appear to have been shaped by the interests of American trade union-: union-: ism or by the interests of international Stalinism? That is a question to be considered not by a court of law at all, but by the members of his own organization, and those who have accepted direction and influence from him. ; The question of the rights of individuals is important. -But we speak here of the question of their influence. :' To think, to speak, to write these "are rights. But to ; lead is not a right that is a privilege which those who follow fol-low can take awav at any time they may be convinced that fthe leadership is bad, i Are the American people concerned with Communist 'leadership among the workers in key industries? There is only one way to change that situation effectively: effective-ly: to show. how disastrous such leadership is almost certain to be; and to provide an alternative of leadership equally able, equally aggressive, and wholly devoted to the direct interests of the workers and to our free republic. Housing Hope One of the byproducts which we can get from the defense de-fense effort is improved housing. The London Times not long ago asserted that the improvement in British housing was the greatest constructive benefit derived by the people from that whole confused post World War decade. We had made a start at'housing improvement before the defense effort began. Now there are new housing needs arising aris-ing from that effort. Great new industrial plants rise where there was nothing a few months ago. Camps are swelling to the point where they have greater populations than nearby towns, which offer no accommodations for wives, children, and relatives of soldiers, nor for tradesmen drawn to the scene by the soldier payrolls. Much housing must be built. Shall it be jerry-built, or of permanent value ? Shall it be planned or higgledy-pigglety ? Every bit of it that is so planned and built as to be of later and permanent use to the country and its citizens, is so much extra dividend from the defense effort. Official Figures U.

It is a rich, lonpr book, has a fresh scene, a little-known historical histor-ical figure as its hero, human characters, and a fundamental American theme. . SONS OF THE OTHERS by Philip Phil-ip Gibbs. From the long winter of the Sitzkrieg, when the British Minister Min-ister of War remarked that the Allies were "winning comfortably," comfort-ably," through those tragic ehort weeks of chao3 and retreat, to the final miracle of Dunkirk, this story 13 told in human terms. MOUNTAIN" MEADOW by John Buchan (Lord Tweedsmuir). Mountain Meadow, the .ast adventure ad-venture of Sir Edward Leithen, is a fitting and noble close to the eaga' of those " high-spirited men who ranged themselves around Richard Hannay. This novel goes deeper than any of its predecessors. Written at greater leisure, dealing almost prophetically with the imponderables imponder-ables of life and death, it is shot through with the ripe wisdom, the mental and spiritual stock-taking which made "Pilgrim's Way" one of the memorable autobiographies of recent years. WITH LOVE AND IRONY by Lin Yutang. In this volume the wise and merry Chinese philosopher who has given us The Importance of Living and My Country and Mr, People opens a new storehouse of keen and pungent observations of East and West. Here are some fifty sketches and essays and satires, sa-tires, many of them turned out during: his years of editing and contributing to Chinese magazines and newspapers, and others written writ-ten for American periodicals during dur-ing his stay in the United States.

And with never an American Amer-ican between. It ia like a parade of fifth columnists. Schipa, Wolff, Bartok there were many before, and there are many yet to come, all foreigners, and not art American in the group. There was Shipa with hi3 all-Italian program. Wolff with a third rate group of songs sung completely in German, and now Bartok with his crude blocks of only quasi-acceptable quasi-acceptable harmony hacked out with a peasant's mattock. To tell the truth, we are just about fed up with foreigners. . How long must we keep up the fiction that in order to be good, a concert must be foreign? How long are we to nurse the myth that everything a foreigner produces pro-duces is good? It is fortunate that here in Provo we have a well trained group of students who can be counted on to applaud voci-freusly voci-freusly at the right time, and almost al-most as vociferously at the wrong. Even with such sheep-like backing back-ing the appreciation becomes labored. la-bored. Some of the programs which we have listened to are not excellent, and some of them are downright boring. A song, to fulfill its complete purpose, must have an idea, an emotion, and a melody. Many of the melodies which we have heard are only passing fair, and the ideas, when we could understand them, might pass, even though they are quite sentimental. But it is difficult for us to respond emotionally to a song where we have to guess at the meaning by the contortions of the performer's face. Mr. Wolff's performance was excellent for a group of German Ger-man students who were anxious to get the correct pronunciation of German words. But there are relatively few of us who are interested in-terested in such a concert purely from an academic standpoint. But Bartok's performance was hardly excusable even from an academi I llonf S.4il In Dry Cleaning Service Successful business men ; make a practice of dressing well - and half the secret in that is keeping clothes clean. - MADSEN does that to perfection per-fection and fast! 1 j Phnoe By Williams cian's point of view. It was interesting in-teresting only in that it showed how far a musician can go on one theme. Who Is it that says that the English language is not a good language for art? The myth was started- by foreigners years ago when they decided to make a racket out of the American concert con-cert and operatic market. They have been aided and abetted by professors of language who are entirely over enthusiastic about thtir vocations. There is not a shade of meaning, not a nuance, not an emotion no matter how delicate which cannot be communicated commu-nicated Just as effectively in English Eng-lish as in Italian, French, or German.

As a matter of fact. English Is superb language for art even If only for its multiplicity of synonyms.

Moreover, More-over, we cry aloud for American performers for at least half of our concerts. For the general puoiic to have to sit through concert after concert in which there is no word of English spoken ana no American composition piayea is not only an insult to our language, but to our intelligence as wui. The only reason that so many foreigners get away with it is our own well known love of being buncoed. Not only is a foreign language concert a plague to the public, but it is infinitely uniair 10 uu American musicians, for every foreigner we support on the con cert and operatic stage we sup press dozens of incipient American Ameri-can artists. Did Germany and Italy attain their present artistic suDremacv by importing all of their musical talent? No, they or ganized municipal opera companies compan-ies which are even now supported by heavy governmental subsidies which train their own artists. Cvilizaton develops in two ways: first, bv invention: second by diffusion. The acceptance of foreigners for-eigners on our program is an excellent thing provided they do not monopolize the program. We can go only so so far in creating civilization by diffusion. We will fa an imitating nation and nothing noth-ing more. When accepting outside out-side ideas chokes our own inventors inven-tors of culture we are hurting rather than helping ourselves. There is no scarcity of intelligence intelli-gence in America; there is Jio paucity of genius.

" i He htd never been in any real trouble but once, when April's father had been district attorney, there'd been some sort of a run-in with the court which had resulted in Winkle's being sent to the workhouse for 30 days to "straighten him up." It was Winkie who had been at the station platform the night when Kent arrived from camp on leave. Winkie, in fact, on whom Apri had fastened her eyes as someone known and familiar in the first shock of learning Kent was blind. Now Winkie, shivering in tattered tat-tered clothes, was pushing off Kent's arm. April started to move, but found her foot had been pinned under Kent's bag when it had toppled f:om the seat. She felt a knife of pain strike through her ankle and then the numbness settled again, muffling her, leadening lead-ening her senses. Winkie clutched the side of the car with a groan. "April Burnett. I kr-.ow you! Lawyer Burnett's daughter, ain't you?" His voice burst from groans to shrillness. "Yes, Winkie. Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Are you hurt?" "Hurt? We'll see, April Burnett. You with your reckless driving, knocking an old man down. You with your high-stepping ways and no regards for the rights of others." "Please, Winkie. I'm sorry!" Winkie doubled and then jerked up again. "Huh, I know you, young lady. Think you're some-thin', some-thin', don't yuh. Running all over the countryside these last two days with your sister's fella.

Kent's fist struck Winkie, a blindly aimed but stinging blow that slashed across the man's face. Winkie made a blubbly, retching retch-ing sound and toppled beside the car. When April looked up again, she saw the young rookie who'd been detailed to travel with Kent. The rookie saluted, mumbled something and then picked Winkie up by the coat collar and deposited de-posited him on the station platform. plat-form. Then he saluted aain, even 'though Kent couldn't see it, and j said, "I'm Private Estes. The express ex-press is just pulling in." j He opened the car door and whisked out Kent's luggage as the locomotive rolled to a stop. Kent turned, nodded once in the vague direction of April and, without a word of goodby, hurried towards the train with the rookie guiding him. April watched him; saw the way he walked erect and unbending to the car steps; saw the white- coated porter grin and bow as he helped him. Then, as it had been on that first night, the whistle blew and the J.jcomoiive cased out of the station, a black dragon flay ing through a white valley.

Even tne handful of town taxicabs whic usually stood at the other end of the platform had rattled oil with passengers who'd arrived on the express. "Yuh," Winkie was hollering. "you'll pay and pay plenty." Blood spurted on his cheek, his hat was a battered rim of felt in his hand. April opened the car door. "Hurry, I'll take you to a doctor's, to a hospital" "Think I'd tep a foot in that car?" "But you may be injured. I'm so sorry, Winkie. Please get in."

"A police case!" she repeated it hollowly. Nothing more could happen in this nightmare and yet, it could and was. "Yeah, there'll be a officer along here in a minute. I'll holler for one." "No, no, please, Winkie!" Winkie caught his side, flopped to the snowbank dramatically. Frightened still more, April wailed, "All right, I'll get help. I'll get the officer right away."

With this, Winkie got to his feet and began walking towards the baggage master's office. So far, no one had been in sight. No one except Private Estes and Kent knew what had happened. It was as if the snow had put a muffler on sound and sight, leaving April and the grubby old man by themselves. them-selves. "Winkie, come back!" April found herself speaking firmly, every nerve and muscle concentrated concen-trated towards this end. He turned reluctantly, making a snow 01 orusnmg me uiooa across his chin. "You're not hurt badly or you couldn't walk," April said. "If the police come, it won't be good for me, but it won't be any better for you. You haven't much of a reputation in this town. Either let me take you to a doctor's office for first aid or give you the money so you can go yourself." He whined, he protested, he was indignant, but in the end he said sulkily, "How much you got?" Some inner fense warned April as she reached for her Durse. Yet, if Winkie started talking, all her hopes for sparing Ann would be ruined. Ann would hear the gossip gos-sip and be crushed. "That ain't enough," Winkie sneered when she handed him the few one-dollar bills and change in her pocketbook. April had the checkbook of the bank where she kept her small account. There was never much, in it, just the amounts she earned for helping Dad at the office. "A check for $5?" she asked. "Would you go to a doctor and promise you wouldn't do any talking?" talk-ing?" "Make it $10," said Winkie, "and I won't say nuthing."
