Hemdahl AUdits Tax Debates 1 Law Student ·(fops 53rd Primary
During Capitol Hill Excursion
Meets State
Law Makers
Having recently concluded a
two week invasion of Senatorial
a n d Congressional committee
meetings, Dr. Reuel G. Hemdahl,
Political Science Professor, related
last week his adventures in the
·nation's Capitol, where he met
many high ranking Governmental
officials and observed the me­chanics
of American politics.
This excursion, arranged by the
American Political Science Asso­ciation,
occurred during the recess
between spring and summer
terms, and was attended by repre­sentatives
of 36 American uni­versities.

For outstanding student work
in the Little Theater productions,
Jane Bourne has been selected as
the 1947 winner of the Lions' Club
Annual Prize in Dramatics, Mr.
Boyd Martin Director of the Little
Theater announced this week.
Jane, forme' managing editor
of the Cardinal, appeared twice

as Annie in "Fata Morgana," and
as Henrietta in "The Barrets of
Wimpole Street."
The prize money, which is the

the Association, was to bring men ·
to Washington to study and ob­serve
the practical aspects of our
government's organization.
Dr. Hemdahl, enlightened as a
result of h is tour, depicts back­stage
Washmgton as informal and
industrious, a battlefield in which
humor and anger, impatience and
forbearance are perpetually striv­ing
to cope with the exhausting
tempo.
Included among the Capitol
dignitaries with whom Dr. Hem­dahl
became intimately acquaint­ed
were Oliver Short, Personnel
director for the Department of
Commerce; Donald Stone, Assist­ant
Director for the Bureau of the
Budget; and William Warne, Sec­retary
for the Department of the
Interior. The professor's tour con­sisted
also of visits to the United
States Civil Service Commission
and the Council of Economic Ad­visers,
one of our most important
Governmental bodies. The per­sonal
guidance of Kentuckian
Wiley Rutledge, Supreme Court
Justice, and Kentucky Senators
Barkley and Cooper, enabled Dr.
Hemdahl to learn his way abo1:1t
more efficiently.
A front row seat in the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee and
other Upper House meetings high­lighted
.the professor's visit to
Washington. He recalls one par­ticular
session in which Senator
Arthur Vandenberg, during a dis­cussion,
phoned the Capitol to ask
Jimmie Byrnes' opinion concern­ing
an important matter. Constant
occurances such as that typified
the informal procedure of the law
makers.
Fortunately, Dr. Hemdahl was

For State Seat
Official returns from the Au­gust
2 primary election show that
George K. Harris, a U. of L. pre­law
senior, lost his bid for the
Democratic nomination to the
State Legislature by 212 votes.
This being his first political
effort, Harris said that he didn't
think he did too badly consider­ing
he had neither the time nor
money to spend on the campaign
that his older opponents had.
Harris stated that in addition to
two fellow U. of L. students who
served as challengers for him, he
believed he received other val­uable
aid that was unknown to
him from many U. of L. students.
Polsgrove, who was on the
Waterfield slate, was the winner
with 809 votes. Harris, backed by
the Clements' organization gar­nered
597 votes. And Moore, a
CIO-PAC backed candidate, was
third with 421 votes.
