Moore is teaching senior English.

NECKING PARTY AT DAILY NEWS |

the end, lead is melting in a furnace (
and being molded into bars for re-use. I
In the editorial room a few type- J
writers beat out the news, but most
of the desks are empty now. Several i
females are lined about the wall read
ing proof. The light is strange— |
greenish—to make everyone a walking j
corpse.
The rhythmic taps of the teletype
machines lead to a small extension off
the main room. Two glorified type- j
writers continuously receive and jerk
out Associated Press news from New
York and Durham; the one in the
middle is on an exclusive line from
Washington and will be resurrected
at 9:00. On the end desk an operator
sends out news from Greensboro, and
there are telephones and telegrnph
keys on the other side of the room.
Out, in the composing room one form
is now ready to be impressed upon an
asbestos mat on a flat roller press.
Afterwards it will be sent down a
chute to the pressroom in the base
ment.
There will be many workers later
on, but at the present there is only
one man in the pressroom drilling out
color plates for the funny papers. He
pauses to pick up the asbestos mat,
bakes it dry and hard in an oven.
Fitting it into a curved mold, he
pours molten lead over it, casts n
semi-circular plate ffom it. This new
plate is curved so that the paper can
roll over it in the press and be printed
clearly in every area.
The press is idle now, with a few
copies of the Greensboro Record still
remaining in it. All nbout are enor
mous rolls of paper waiting to be
threaded into the press and trans
formed into newspapers. The light is
eerie here too, giving everything an
unnatural purple tinge.
I'pstairs the girls in the class wait
in vain for a cross between Tyrone
Power and Bob Taylor to rush In
shouting, "Stop the press! Cantor has
a boy!"; while the boys look long and
futilely for the beautiful girl reporter
of the movies and magazines, finally
deciding she is out looking for corpses
and solving murders.
After they are printed the papers
will be bundled up, shot down a slide
to the loading platform, mid deliv
ered by trucks to newsboys and dis
tant cities.
Thus the news —gathered from all
corners and concentrated on one door
step.

THE GUILFORDIAN
The Oracle of Today
Hcd Star Orcr China by lUtgar Snow.
When tlie "Current History" maga
zine selected it as one of the ten best
11011, fiction works of the year 1938, Red
Stur Orcr China was called "more than
a book;" it was the vital missing link
in the turbulent history of the Far
lOast.
"... There had been perhaps no
greater mystery among nations, 110
more confused an epic, than the story
of Hed China. Fighting in the heart
of the niosl populous nation 011 earth,
the Celestial I teds had for nine years
been isolated by a news blockade as
effective as a stone fortress. A mobile
Great Wall of thousands of enemy
troops constantly surrounded them;
(heir territory was more inaccessible
liian Tibet. No one had voluntarily
penetrated that wall and returned to
write of his experiences since the first
Chinese Soviet was established ... in
November, 1027."
This was the status quo iu
before Edgar Snow packed lip his port
able, invaded the Infested regions, and
exploded the myth that the benevolent
Chiang Kai-shek bad been using lo
scale reluctant little Chinese into tread
ing the dictatorial chalk line.
Mr. Snow uncovered a nation —one

of China and become efficient and unit

eralissimo Chiang and found them to
be quite human. This journalist, a
stolid American, even ventures the
opinion that Mao Tse-tung, No. 1 "Red
bandit," may be the savior of China.
The tale that the author teils is an
engrossing one, often a compelling one.
II has the advantage of being timely,
of being "news." And it gives a sym
pathetic picture of Communism, be
cause it gives an impartial one; and
Communism is working in Chain. Mr.
Snow's job was a. difficult one. It was
difficult because the story of the Red
Army is not easily put in prose; it be
longs iu an epic poem.
A nation, tens of thousands strong,
trekked six thousand miles across
China, across some o.f the roughest
country in Asia: were daily bombed

riddled by disease: The Long March.
An army, at best 180,000 rifles, sur
vived live of Chiang's '•annihilations"
which employed over three million sol
diers; survived, and repeatedly de
feated the attackers. An army united
a people, the most persecuted of all
people, the Chinese peasants, and gave
them hope and security.
It is this army, this nation, that re
sisted Japanese aggression, and, after
