Page Two THE DAILY TAR HEEL THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1946 (Ed. Note Today the Daily Tar Heel devotes its editorial space to the student body and lets you express your opinions via the numerous letters we have received this week. In printing the following letters we would like to re mind you that all letters to the editor must be typewritten, double-spaced, must not exceet 350 words and must be signed to be printed. Names will be withheld on request.) Monkey See, Monkey Do To The Editor "Teacher, teacher, don't whip me, Whip that boy behind the tree!" In reading: the comments regarding student drunkenness at Saturday's game, we thought of the above coup let. At that game sitting in a choice 50 yd. line seat was a man who drank openly and almost continuously, cursed and insulted the people near him fincludiner several coeds and some high school girls), shouted curses at the players, and repeatedly told bystanders "You needn't call a cop. They'd not do anything to me. I'm a Senator". His wife left in tears; and a girl-friend equally inebriated moved in. We were told that this man had a season ticket for this choice position and that this performance occurred at practically every game. While we commend the DTH and student authorities for their stand against student drinking, we feel they should go to the root of the trouble by including all patrons of the game. So long as the boys see their parents and leaders drinking, the situ ation will remain bad. "Monkey see, monkey do Monkey try to act like you!" (Name Withheld on Request) Two Additional Facts Dear Editor: - To the utter amazement of most of the spectators and probably the ulti mate shame of the participants, a group of students actually assaulted a police officer at the Florida game in an attempt to prevent him from car rying out his duty. The story of the rather embarrass ing affair has been told and editorial ized about to the point that it need not be repeated now. Yet in all the comment concerning the brawl Satur day in Kenan stadium two important facts have yet to be emphasized. . First: The officer, a member of the local police force, was authorized by law to draw his gun and fire upon the offenders. When he sought to break up the fight between two intoxicated individuals, nearby students surround ed him, threatened him, cursed him, and actually molested his uniform enough to establish a case of physical assault against those responsible. If that officer had pulled his gun and used it, one or more Carolina stu dents might today be dead or serious ly injured. A bullet could have flown into the stands with unfortunate con sequences. But he kept his head and did not exercise the right granted him by law, "and perhaps saved more than one life. Second: This officer and the state patrolmen who came to his aid under ordinary circumstances would have arrested the entire crowd of students that participated in the incident. The charge which would stand in any court with the evidence at hand would have been "interference with a officer of the law in the. performance of his bounden duty," and sentences ranging up to two years on the state highways could be imposed upon the offenders. But the officers who hard ly had the heart to interrupt the par ticipants' education by arraignment, trial, fines, and possible imprison ment restrained their sense of duty, Tbm official newspaper of the Publication Board of the University of North Carolina Cam pel Hill, where it la published daily, except Monday, examination and vacation period ; ferine the official lommer terra, it U published sesol-weekly on Wednesday and Saturdays.

FOR THIS Night Editor: Barron Mills Anti-Communist Dear Editor: It seems that one Manny Margolis is inclined to shout "anti-communist" as indiscriminately as many have used the terms Communist and Fascist in the past. I refer to his article on, or I should 'say against Mr. Churchill in the Daily Tar Heel of October 27. In it he accuses Mr. Churchill of stating that there are 200 Soviet divisions in Soviet-cupied Eastern Europe. He did not make such a statement; he merely, asked if there were 200 Sov iet divisions in Soviet occupied terri tory. I notice that everyone in a posi tion to say how many troops there are is neglecting to give any answer. Maybe, if the iron curtain is just a figment of Churchill's imagination as Mr. Margolis implies, that Mr. Mar golis can tell us just how many Rus sian divisions are occupying Eastern Europe. Mr. Margolis says that Mr. Church ill is prepared to "move Bevin and earth" to prove his accusations. That is an admirable trait in my way of thinking. I wonder if Mr. Margolis is prepared to go to such pains to prove his points. As a matter of fact I wonder if Mr. Margolis is capable of more than the vaguest generalizations and sarcastic remarks of "Margol- . mm m a . isms" in putting across nis opinions. Finally Mr. Margolis tries to dis miss the subject by telling of the Rus sian cut in her army in order to send manpower back to agricultural pro duction and industrial production. Probably Russia found that with the cessation of lend-lease food and war materials she had to put someone on the farm to feed her army and some one in the confiscated Manchurian and European war factories to keep up her war potential. STANLEY SMITH, JR. (Ed. note: In a recent interview Stalin said that there are 60 Rus sian divisions in Europe. Churchill has replied to the effect that it is the size of the divisions that is to be con sidered and not just the number.) 'The Great Emotion9 Dear Editor: Mr. James Wallace in Sunday's Daily Tar Heel: ". . .The members of the (Prague) conference went to Lidice. . . . .which has now been turned into a shrine to which all good ahti-Fascists go on pilgrimage. A monument with a tank surmounting it. Fascism. "The Great Emotion gains ground." Obviously, Mr.- Wallace did not share the emotion of detestation against the perpetrators of Lidice felt by most of his brothers and sister members of the conference. However, I feel sure that he was not discourteous enough to show any lack of regard for their feelings while in their presence. LEONARD BERNSTEIN and made no arrests. This much might be remembered: One of the state troopers who is as signed to duty at each of the Caro lina games warned that "the next time well have to arrest a dozen and bring them to jail." He added that "any judge would have to be pretty severe in a case like that!" BILL SEXTON Editor Managing Editor Sports Editor Business Manager Circulation Manager ISSUE Sports: Irwin Smallwood DTH Music Review . . . Templeton Program Found Entertaining and Enjoyable R. Haskell Hamilton Tuesday night pianist Alec Templeton returned to the Carolina campus and presented a concert under the auspices of the Student Entertainment Committee that was both entertaining and enjoyable. Following his usual custom, Mr. Templeton divided his program into two distinctive halves. The pre-intermission offerings were in the "classical" concert vein, while the post intermission selections were in the more typical Templeton tempo and mood. This reviewer must confess that along with the rest of the audience, I enjoy ed the second half of the program immensely more than the first half. Mr. Templeton's classical technique is ad- equate, . but certainly not brilliant. Mr. Templeton frequently belabors passages that should be played with a lighter touch and more finesse than he seems able to impart. This was particularly noticeable in his rendi tion of Chopin's Nocturne in E. Ma jor, which seemed distorted, unclear and heavy to my ear. Of his classical offerings, The King's Hunt by John Bull, an old English tune, was received most kind ly. This wa sdue in no small part to the fact that the selection is in the lighter, less difficult concert realm with which Mr. Templeton deals more competently. Other "classical" offer ings included Gigue another John Bull selection; Le Petit Poulet by Rameau, a Chaconne of Bach's arranged by. Busoni; the aforementioned Chopin Nocturne; A Toccata on a Northum brian Tune by Gustav Hoist, two Debussy selections, three, of the ar tists' characteristic Etudes, and Ger shwin's Second Prelude. However, the second half of the program which was more in keep ing with Templeton's usual style brought forth loud applause and re peated demands for encores from the enthusiastic listeners. Opening with a Templeton re-harmonizing of Dvorak's Humoresque and run ning the gamut from a swing ar rangement of the Zampa Overture from Wilhelm Tell to Tea For Two; the pianist was definitely in his own special field of piano en tertainment. Mr. Templeton is definitely a mas ter of the keyboard; and he makes piano playing look like fun, which is more than can be said for most con cert pianists. Tumultuous plaudits greeted his familiar "f our-in-one" de vice whereby he plays four requested pieces simultaneously, as well as his impersonation of Jimmy Durante. Al so featured were variations on four requested notes in the style of Bach, Mozart, Chopin and Gershwin, In response to the tremendous ova tion and stamping of feet (a not very courteous, but seemingly effective de- vice for bringing back the artist) more Templeton closed the program with his familiar and famous rendi tion of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" in the style of a Tennessee Hill-Billy, and a Cuban Rhumba band. Summing Up... Forming ofWorldGovernment Termed Essential to Survival (Ed. note This is the concluding article in a series written by Jimmy Wal lace describing what took place at the International Students' Conference at Prague this summer. We wish to express our thanks for his week's summary of events.) . By Jimmy Wallace After looking at all the conflicts in the world, dragging them out into the light of day where they appear with such clarity that they threaten to over whelm us, what conclusions can be drawn? Probably it would be more logical to give up in despair. But in the mat ter of international relations, logic is not given a place of prominence. All is illogical; so, peacemakers continue their weary task. I would like to see a world government, according to the blue-print of Emery Reves, Clarence Streit, or Norman Cousins, or others. The idea is not very original, but at this moment it is essential to our continued survi val. The conflicting nationalisms must permit themselves to be some what absorbed and subordinated, be cause the time has come when any medium-sized nation could be so powerful as to precipitate the world into war. I have reference, of course, to the atomic bomb, and more generally, to atomic energy. This great new force, certainly within a few years more development has taken place, can re volutionize the art of war or peace. The presence of the . atomic bomb has posed a problem. It is obvious that we cannot achieve world gov ernment by next Tuesday at eight o'clock A. M. There are certain points that have to be worked out. World government, in order to be of any ef fect, must be a government based up on common agreement. We need some time in which to attempt to agree. There it is imperative that we remove from our minds the fear of the atomic bomb .Consequently, it is of the es sence that the bomb be international ized and controlled by a strong au- hority. Needless to say, the International Atomic Energy Commission which I In This . . . . . Poet's . . . . . Corner TO MIKE When chance first brought Mike to me, I must admit, he wasn't much to see; a mass of furry joy with legs too long indeed; but even as the fairest flower must begin from seed ... I recognized his greatness. But he was just a pup ... and he was young; I knew that life had not as yet begun for him. And so he was forgiven, for his many thoughtless acts; clawing at an unanswered door leaving muddy puppy tracks upon a polished floor . . . yes, Mike was young. But after a year has passed ... no longer were glances cast, at a "pup in that awk ward stage," but rather at a dog, who had "become of age." The funny little face, with the fuzzy hair on top that could easily have been mistaken for a shaggy mop, was wondrously re placed, by the understanding face, of an Irish Setter. The legs that had once been much "too long" became solid, sleek, and strong; and the two wild eyes, that always promised of "deviltry" changed to a gaze of gentle sincerity . . gentle love. It's strange to believe, that from this pup ... a mighty dog like Mike, grew up . . . You call it natural I call it . . . greatness.

That is to say that the Se curity Council's permanent members will have to relinquish their veto pow er on this particular point. The American atomic energy plan contains this very measure. It is necessary that the international control body have power and auth ority, various Russo-philes not withstanding. There are many peo ple who think that the United States would be doing the greatest service to insure peaceful relations with Russia and the world, if we dismantled all our atomic bombs. These people are predominantly those who regret that the United States has the bomb and Russia doesn't. On the other hand, if Rus sia had the bomb and we didn't, these same people, judging from their past mental gymnastics, would be justifying the Russian position, whatever it happened to be. We must have atomic control before we can work on any world govern ment plan. Now, Russia does not ap pear very agreeable to our plan. It Washington Merry-Go-Round By Drew Pearson TRUMAN AND SENATOR WHEELER FIRED JOHN ROGGE Washington. Inside fact about the firing of ace Justice Department prosecutor John Rogge was that he was ousted on direct orders from Presi dent Truman. Indirectly also the orders came from Senator Burton Wheeler of Mon tana with reported off-tage promptings from John L. Lewis. Rogge had discussed his Swarthmore speech in advance with Attorney General Tom Clark, and the latter knew all about the dynamite that was going to be exploded. He knew that various high-placed Americans whom the Nazis tried to use in 1940, including John ' L. Lewis and Senator Wheeler, would have their feet held to the fire. Fur thermore, Attorney General Clark dis cussed the impending speech with at least one other member of the Cab inet. Two days passed after Rogge's Oct. 22 speech was delivered and nothing happened. There was no move inside the Justice Department to admonish him. Then, on the second day, Oct. 24, Senator Wheeler called at the White House and had a two-hour conference with Truman. The two men are old friends. Wheeler is the only Democra tic Senator whom the President jopen ly supported for renomination. Furthermore, Wheeler is a close and intimate friend of John L. Lew is. When Wheeler seemed likely to be defeated for re-election in 1929, Lewis helped still the opposition of the Anaconda Copper Company, which has been in Wheeler's camp ever since. They became even closer friends just before the war, when both vehemently opposed Roosevelt's war policies and when Mr. Wheeler and Kathryn Lewis both served as members of the America First Com mittee. Following Truman's Oct. 24 confer ence with Wheeler, he summoned At torney General Clark late that eve ning and ordered John Rogge fired. Clark issued the letter of dismissal at the unusual hour of midnight that nighton direct orders of the Presi dent. Note Rogge has had one of the best records in the Justice Depart ment. As Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Criminal Division he helped prosecute Boss Tom Pender gast of Kansas City (the man who put Truman in the Senate); convict ed Gov. Richard Leche of Louisiana submits the Gromyko plan, a watered down proposal founded upon an im possibility. Naturally the Russians want us to give up our bombs BE FORE we begin to have international control. Apparently they think that we are pulling history's biggest hoax, that we really don't mean what we say, that the Baruch plan is all a blind, that we will go back on our promise and not destroy our bombs. What could be better evidence that we will not do this than the Baruch plan itself? Currently, the line is that our at omic proposals are such that it will be entirely up to us to determine when we relinquish control and in formation and finally destroy the bombs. That is a lot of hokum. It would seem that if more so-called intelligent people of college age would read atomic control documents for themselves rather than have various Russo-philic publications interpret them, they would perhaps, one time out of a thousand, be able to con scientiously support the American point of view. We must have atomic control, Rus sia notwithstanding. Note: Documents on the activities of the Prague Conference may be checked out at the Reserve room of the library.

More recently he had been in Europe collecting evi dence from Goering, Ribbentrop and other Nazi prisoners. While squawking about alleged links between Democrats and Communists GOP National Chairman Carroll Ree ce has been significantly, silent about a Republican-Communist alliance right in his own backyard. It is the link-up between the Re publican Party and pro-Communist Vincent Longhi, candidate from New York's 12th Congressional District in Brooklyn. Despite interesting police and FBI records showing him close to the Communists, the Republicans are pushing Longhi for election to Con gress. Here are some of the things in Longhi's record: 1. He failed to report for induc tion into the Army, but when later he joined the Merchant Marine, prosecution was dropped. 2. Office manager of the Joint Anti-Fascist League, a pro-Communist organization; also an officer of the National Maritime Union, which has strong leftist leanings. 3. Affiliated with the Communist newspaper, "L'Unita del Popolo." Despite all this Chairman Carroll Reece, while trying to pin the Com munist label on the Democrats, is supporting Longhi. Beenath the surface all is not too happy in one wing of the Dewey cam paign headquarters. General "Wild Bill" Donovan, most decorated hero of World War I and organizer of the OSS in World War II is being a good sport about it, but his friends feel anything but friendly toward the New York Governor. It all dates back to a conference between Dewey and Donovan in the Roosevelt Hotel last August, when the General asked Dewey for his sup port to get the GOP nomination for the Senate. Dewey, however, gave Donovan the brush-off. What he said in substance was: "Let's wait a while. Wagner is a sick man and may not be long for this world. When his "Vacancy occurs, then can appoint you to the Senate." Dewey assured him that the Re publicans were so strong in New York that they could sweep any nonentity into office. Reading be tween the lines, Donovan's friends also say that Dewey was fearful of Donovan's colorful personality and national stature, including his record in two wars. Dewey and his machine still are peevish over the way FDR rolled up 70 per cent of the veterans' vote in 1944. They feel, however, that they can make a deal with the A.F. of L. and thus crack labor's previous solidarity in New York state. To that end, Don ovan's friends claim that Dewey made a deal with the President and Secretary-Treasurer of the State Federa tion of Labor to scuttle Donovan as the Senatorial candidate taking in stead Irving M. Ives, Dean of the School of Industrial Relations at Cor nell. ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE gQcH FATAL?
