It is generally expected, howev

that Negroes are content to meet
a condition of injustice to which
they arc subjected by petitions and

PRES. ROWLAND HAYNES
SAYS NO DOLE
■*
President Rowland Haynes of
the University of Omaha today de
fended work-relief against tnose
who would supplant this program
with a direct dole.
Admitting that any form of pub
lic relief will injure morale anJ
taint the American tradition of
‘rugged indivdualism,’ President
Haynes declare:
“The Country can’t very well
avoid the relief problem at tho pre
sent time. It’s very much like a
flu epidemic—it’s bound to have
its bad effects, but you can’t very
well overlook it.
“I feel that if we can afford it
wo should keep work-relief instead
of a dole. I feel that the extra
cost pays for itself partly in the
increased morale of the people and
partly in the work done. A dole
leaves nofhing to show for it ex
cept some stomachs partly filled.
Mr. Haynes has himself been »n
social welfare work for more than
a quarter of a century. Before be
coming president of bhe University
of Omaha in 1935, he was head of
tho Nebraska division of the Fed
eral Emergency Relief Adminis
tration.
The president stated that worn
relief, like any type of work, de
pends for its efficiency on careful
planning and good foremanship.
The WPA has been working on the
University of Omaha campus since
last fall. Of the work thu9 far j
completed, President Haynes said:
“Check tests show that the effi
vieney for the work ranks high The
men grading and the west end of
the campus for an athletic field
have often removed ten carloads of
dirt apiece during a single day's
work Work like that doesn’t give
much time for shovel-leaning.
The president added that he
“would like to see those who poke
fun at the WPA try their own
hamta at shoveling. I doubt if very
■ many of them wuold do the job as
well as the W'PA workers.”
Mr. Haynes thinks the relief
problem will be with us for a long
time to come. England, he pointed
out, has had it for a number of
decades. The problem has hereto
, fore been stalled off in the United
States by the free land* of the
‘ West, the development of mass
production and other similai fac
tors. Now we can’t stall it off
any longer.
This new phenomenon will have
its effect on American public life,
Mr. Haynes believes.
Chief effect, he asserted, will be
a readjustment in public expendi
tures. Outlays for education may
be cut to make way for relief ex
penditures.
“The public pocketbook can con
tribute just so much. Most of our
communities today are like a man
with a wife and children whose ,
brother in law has died, leaving an
added demand on the man’s income
to help support his widowed sister. '
“This added demand on his in- |
come reduces the anuount he has
for the education of his children.
The pocketbook ia now confronted
by the same situation."

* ^ NICK and CHARLES KENNY, A.S.C.A.P. ^
1-The Gold Mine Is Still in the Sky
By Daniel I. McNamara
NICK fought In five wars. He was
stroke oarsman on a sailors'
twelve-oared racing cutter that
never was beaten. He was star foot
ball player and all around athlete
in the U. S. Navy. Today he is a
powerful, smiling giant—but if you
sing a song of tender sentiment, like
as not you’ll see a tear well in the
eye of this soft-hearted swashbuck
ler, for Nick Kenny is himself a
writer of songs of appealing senti
mentality. He loves to entertain the
children on his radio programs.
A success in New York journal
ism, Kenny insists that he is a song
writer first, newspaper man inci
dentally. For he started writing
songs when he was a youngster in
th6 navy, and has been writing them
for ihore than 20 years. He has writ
ten more than 60 successes, many
of them among the best sellers.
Nick, however, has not' cornered
the talent in the Kenny family, for
bis accomplished brother, Charles,
a violinist and composer, frequent
ly shares with Nick the honors of
creating new song successes. Nick,
ft native of Astoria, L. L, served two
complete terms in the navy, starting
as a coal passer. He became the
fastest signal man in the Navy.
Three of his brothers were lost in
the world war. His second enlist
ment ended the day of the Armis
tice. After two years in the Mer
chant Marine, he went to work as a
cub reporter in Bayonne, N. J., soon
became sports editor, then worked
on newspapers in Boston and New
York. He was a pioneer in the de
velopment of the radio column as a
newspaper feature. For more than a
decade he has been an authority on
news of the radio.
Both Nick and Charles are mem
bers of the American Society of Com
posers, Authors and Publishers and
their copyrighted songs are in the
Society’s repertoire. Active in New
York newspaper work, they have
found music an avocation of great
possibilities. One of their latest ef-j
forts is "Cathedral in the Pines”,
a song of romantic appeal, and one
of the most popular numbeni of cur-J
rent radio programs,,
{Music Features ft Photo Syndicate)
Because of his concern for the
“public pocketbook’’ President Hay
nes refused this year to ask the
city of Omaha for increased tax
support for the municipal Univer
sity of Omaha.
The army of dependent Ameri
cans will also have its effect on
partisan politics declared the presi
dent The effect will be not un
liko that of any other pressure
group which seeks to gain its ends
by lobbying and by influencing
the major political parties.
“Various organized special inter
est groups have milked the Trea
sury in the past and continue to
do so today," said Mr. Haynes;
“And I can’t see that it’s any worse
for a bunch of poor people to do
this than it is for any other pre
suro group.”
Tho University of Omaha presi
dent sees agitation to supplant
federal administration which local
administration as an attempt mere
ly to transfer control from one
group of politicians to another
group.
“My experience in relief and
welfare work convinces me there
is little to be grained by gfiving lo
cal administrators more control. I
can’t see that the rottenness of
local politics is any less rotten than
the rottenness of federal politics.
“In general, federal administra
tion tends to be more and above
loard—if only becase the local peo
ple are on the watch for any slips
on the part of the federal adminis
trators But when relief is in the
hands of local administrators, there
is considerably less vigilance.
‘‘The present relief burden is
one which only the federal govern
ment can shoulder because of its
broader avenues of taxation. 1 think
the federal government has no
right to spe-nd money without su
pervising its use.
"I recall that before the war.

dollars to private institutions for

the care <x£ children There was
no supervision by the city, and
the result was a real waste of pub
lic funds.”
Mr. Haynes believes that the
trained social worker will gradual
ly assume a more important posi
tion in the administration of relief.
Ho declared that the strong move
ment now calling for special train
ing in public administration will
carry over into the field of social
work.

When war comes to Europe, the
two “buddies” who today make up
the Rome-Berlin axis, Hitler and
Mussolini, will probably be taking
shots at each other from opposite
end8 of No Man’s Land.
-Such a view of the fascist bloc
was given today by Dr. Shepherd
L, Witman, expert on internation
al relations at the University of
Omaha. The dictators may string
along together while Europe keeps
the peace, said the political scien
tist ; but when the showdown
comes, Mussolini will part com
pany with his pugnacious German
“pal’.
The axis will receive its first
test when II Duce reitherates his
colonial demands from Britain and
France. If the Duce appears more
moderate in his tone Dr. Whit
man believes that will be indication
Hitler is not giving Italy his full
support.
But Mussolini engages in chest
thumping antics that will be a
pretty good sign that Hitler gave
the “go-ahead” signal. However,

tor will get little encouragement
from hi* German colleague.
“Hitler is now most interested
in pursuing the policy of eastward
expansion he outlined in ‘Mein
KampF. Until he has consolidated
his position in Central and Eastern
Europe, he will try to avoid trou
I bio with France and Britain.’’
The University of Omaha poli
tical scientist has other reasons
for doubting the stability of the
Rome-Berlin axes. Apparently, the
German dictator made his recent
junket into Czechslovakia without
informing his Italian playmate,
an indication that there is very
little collaboration between Berlin
and Rome.
Moreover, Adolph may displease
Benito by trying to muscle in on
tho latter’s territory. As the Ger- '
man pi* hes eastward, it is likely
that 'he will try to get Hungary
anti Jugoslavia under his influence,
said Dr. Whitman. Heretofore
theso countries have been consid
ered part of the Italian orbit.
“Already the Italian position in
Central Europe has been irrepar
ably damaged with the absorption
of Czechslavakia. German control
there limits Italian influence.
“Mussolini must recognize that
to stick to the axis threatens Ita
lys position as a great power. Even
if Germany and Italy waged war
together successfully, Italy could
expect little more than crumbs as
her share of the spoils. A success
ful Germany might even threaten
Italy’s national existence”.
Whether or not Britain and
France give in to Mussolini’s de
mands for expansion in the Medi
terranean, Dr. Whitman still be
lieves that Italy will break the axis
w'hen war comes. Concessions to
Mussolini might not have an im
mediate apparent effect on the ax
is, but the real effect will show
when the crisis comes, he declar
ed.
If Britain and France turn a eoUl
shoulder to II Duce’s demand Ita
ly will still side with them against
Hitler wnen the Showdown comes,
said the professor, because Muss
olini will have to consider that a
German victory would hurt Italy
more than she could gain from
such a victory.
Then there is a little matter of
250,000 Germans in what was
formerly part of the Austrian Ty
rol and is now part of Northern
Italy. Of course Hitler has promis
