Friedrich Says Allied Policy
In Germany Bogged Down
Allied policy in Germany today
is failing to accomplish the es
tablishment of democracy, Dr.
Friedrich of Harvard University,
said here Monday night.
An authority on European po
litics, Dr. Fredrich addressed the
first of three public lecture audi
ences being held in Love Library
auditorium on the University
campus this week. His lectures
are part of a number of appear
ances on the campus which he
will make as first recipient of
the university's Montgomery Lec
tureship on Contemporary Civi
lization. Dr. Friedrich pointed to three
principal reasons why the whole
occupational program of the Al
lied Control Council is currently
bogged down:
(1) The orginal program for
occupying Germany demilitariza
tion, denazification, deindiistriaJ
ization, decentralization and de
mocratizatitfn remains in effect
somewhat as originally planned
by the victorious allied powers
in 1945. But the program is "un
realistic" since assumed nothing
had happened in Germany be
tween 1939 and 1945. Inadequate
attention was given the problem'
of devastation of the German in
dustrial plant from air warfare,
and the problem resulting from
manpower losses.
(2) There is fundamental di
vision between the western demo
cracies and the Soviet Union over
the meaning of democracy. The
Russian idea of democracy is
totalitarian. The western powers
idea of democracy is constitu
tional.
(3) The general problem of re
viving German interest in politi
cal parties has been difficult be
cause of the undemocratic heri
tage of the people there.
Dr. Friedrich pointed out that
in the western zones of occupa
tion thede is currently broad sup
port among the German people
Student March
Of Dimes Set
For Thursday
Under the direction of John
Mercer, the university drive for
the March of Dimes will begin
tomorrow, Jan. 15, and continue
through Jan. 30.
University students will be able
to contribute to the infantile
paralysis fund through collection
boxes placed in various campus
buildings. Letters have been sent
to the organized houses asking
them to contribute in lump sums.
Assisting in the drive are the
Tassels and Corn Cobs, who will
collect money at the next univer
sity basketball game.
State Chairman R. G. Gustav
son has outlined the objectives of
the drive as four definite goals:
"We must find the cause, find the
cure, find methods of prevention
and do everything we can to re
habilitate those who become its
victims."
Ag Ice-Skating
Rink Will Open
Winter sport recreation facili
ties for university students will
be provided with the opening of
an ice skating ring besides trac
tor test laboratory on ag acmpus.
Sponsored by the Ag Exec
Board before the war, the rink
is being revived by the general
entertainment committee of the ag
union. Students on this commit
tee have been responsible for the
labor connected with the project.
The tractor test lab furnished the
tractors for building up the em
bankments. Skating on the new rink should
be possible by this week-end if
the weather is favorable, and if
the weatherman knows whereof
he speaks, this will be true.
Students on both campuses will
be eligible to use the rink and it
will be available for scheduled
parties as soon as it is opened.
The rink will be lighted and
safety measures will be set up
b ythe committee.
for middle of the road parties,
which would also be true in the
Soviet Zone if it were not for
the activity of the Russian secret
police." He added that thre is a
profuond dislike for the Soviet
Union generally among Germans
in, areas occupied by the westren
democracies.
The speaker pointed out that
the U.S program of denazifica
tion and democratization seem to
be moving slowly but somewhat
satisfactorily, but that our policy
of decentralzing the German gov
ernment has met opposition from
Germany political leaders.

Campbell; Gene Gard, Beaver
Crossing; Eugene Jensen, St. Ed
ward, and Vaughn Johnson, Den
ver, Colo., will make the trip.
Dunlap is coach of the team.
Competition for the team has
been extremely keen this year and
the final selection was made from
a group of ten who have been
working out regularly.
The five men and their coach
will leave Thursday night for
Denver, in order to participate in
a new feature of the Great West

awaiting action by the House on
the last day of the Special Session,
when the trainees convened.
Addressing the veteran students,
Walker reported that during the
crucial period he spoke to three
of Nebraska's four representatives,
Stefan, Curtis and Miller, who
expressed themselves in favoring
a "reasonable increase." The
Meade bill provided for an in
crease to $75 for single veterans
and to $105 for married veterans.
The current subsistant rates for
single and married veterans are
$65 and $90, respectively .
The group reconvened and re
affirmed their support of the
Meade Bill, to come up again the
regular session of Congress, and
went on record as favoring
amendments calling for an in
crease of $35 for both married
and single students over the cur
rent amounts and the payment of
$10 for each dependant.
The fact that the organization
established in Washington at the
conference will continue to func
tion until the veterans demands
were met was pointed out by
Walker, who concluded by plead
ing with those present, and those
not present, to write their rep
resentatives urging them to pass
legislation increasing subsistance.
