TUESDAY, MARCH 2 1 '.) 1 ': PAGE TWO TIIE DAILY TAR HEEL V Mitls-Stones The Press Doesn't Always Give a True Picture By Barron Mills If I had been a devout Henry Wallace fan before the pa;;t weekend, I would not be one- to day. If I had believed in the "sin cere" methods of Henry Wallace and his backers before the Wal lace Rally here, 1 would not be lieve in it now. If, before the past weekend, I had a soft spot for Wallace because his "heart is in the right place" that soft spot has hardened. Because I wanted to learn more about Wallace and his campaign for the presidency, I attended lh'; initial meeting of the Rally. With three Daily Tar Heel colleagues I entered the fourth floor of Alumni where the meeting"' vas in process. I saw a group of some 130 people. They talked, they laughed and they clapped when the word "Russia" was defended. A favorite sport was not to an swer in a str;ight-from-the-shoulder fashion but to rational ize. When a question was raised about the policies of Russia and her conduct in Europe the same old thing happened. The answer would inevitably be: "But look at us! Look down there in the Caribbean. What are we, or rather the Sugar Kings, doing down there in Puerto Rico?" Politics-- State and -National Carousel One young man, whom we tag ged as being from Duke since he later announced that he wished to speak vith all the delegates from Duke, said it is incorrect to say th it Russia has overrun Poland. Why, he had been there himself and he saw only a few Russians around. Right in Pal estine there are more British than there are Russians in Poland! Somehow this statement by the Duke delegate does not gibe with what I have heard others who visited Poland on'UNRRA ships say. And his statement sharply clashes with the recent book by a former American Ambassador, Arthur Bhss Lane. Writing un der the title, I saw Poland Be trayed," Mr. Lane tells of the farce election of January 1917. Poles who did not toe the Com munist line were intimidated. Previously, The Soviet Union had urged the Polish underground forces to revolt against the con quering .Nazis in 1944 and then made sure the uprising was quelled by Germany, with the "sole intent of imposing a Soviei controlled government upon Po land when the time was ripe." These are only a few of the the contradictory questions that were brought up by the Wal lacites who will go back to their campuses to form Wallace clubs. Every person that entered the room without a blue button was approached and asked if he want ed to register. We answered in the negative. The second time we were approached, we were asked if we wished to sign the The long-awaited Young Democrats club on campus promises to prove a worthwhile organization and one which will prove in teresting to watch. The YDC appeared less than 10 clays ago and already it has elected its officers and has a planned program for today. Jonathan Daniels, editor of the News and Observer and a man who has been pro claimed possessor of one of the most vivid minds in the South today, will be the initial YDC-sponsored speaker of the year. It will be interesting to watch the Demo cratic party -in the State in the 1948 elec tions. The State elections prove to be even more exciting than usual with Kerr Scott's, the man who has taken several sure steps toward the Capitol, entry into the guber- Vrite Away natorial race. Now with President Truman's strong declaration on the Civil Rights re port and because lie has plummeted from popularity, it is very unlikely, that Truman will carry the Democratic ticket in this State. - An observer at the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner last Saturday night at the Sir Walter hotel in Raleigh claims that the people who supported Mr. Truman were few and far between. At least 50 of the people he talked with at the dinner said that they would not vote for Truman in '43. The consensus was that North Carolina will go Republican greater than it did against Al Smith. It will be interesting to hear Mr. Daniels opinion on the presidential and national election and his tie-in with the State politics. In Prague: Freedom of Thought?

Mr. Bill Robert son quotes from a letter which was sent from the Governor General of a province to the students of a university under his jurisdiction. He cites this as a parallel to what he calls "an attempt tp surpass the demo cratic ideas that honest students have developed" by members of the Board of Trustees of the University of North Carolina. Mr. Robertson need not have gone back to the middle of the last century to find some evi dence of an attempt to dictate to the students of universities ag to the lines which their think ing should follow. There was ample evidence to be found in last week's newspapers. Let Mr. Robertson ask the students of the University of Prague how much freedom of thought they now have under their new gov ernment. I will quote from a statement made by Zdenek Ne jedly, the new education min ister, "schools must be . made political just as the army , must be political." He also said that new textbooks would be pre pared for Czechoslovakia. Since Mr. Robertson has often express ed his admiration for what he calls "the Eastern European democracies" he probably will find no -fault with the statement made by the new education min ister of Czechoslovakia. policy of this country, if either of them has expressed disap proval of the brutal, unscrupul ous practices of Russia it has escaped my notice. I would be the first to admit that our country, our state, and our university are not perfect. Much needs to be done. Im perfect as they are, they are far superior to anything to be found in Russia, or in any of the Russian statcllite countries. The individual still counts for something here. He counts for nothing in Russia. There is a great deal more that I would like to say, but I will try to abide by your limitations concerning the length of letters. W. G. McCall housemother, Mrs. Clark. The house mothers of Alderman, Mc Iver, and Smith have been most kind in arranging rooms for the girls who lived in the house. We hope very soon to resume full activities which would not have been possible without the aid of these many students. Gamma Epsilon Chapter Alpha Gamma Delta incorrect Editor: I wish to advise that Mr. Paul Mullinax in yesterday's edition of the DTH is quite in correct in his statement that I approached you on writing a column of conservative news and events, and is therefore also mistaken in his charges that the DTH had formed a policy of not printing material submitted by campus organizations immediate ly after my imagined session with you. I am highly flattered at any rate. Sincerely, Charlie Kauffman Thanks I am forced to suspect the motives of men like Mr. Robert son and Henry Wallace. They denounce the Marshall Plan as interference in the ' internal af fairs of sovreign nations, vet Robertson nor Mr. has protested guest register.

This administrator, a young man wearing a blue button told us, was jotting down the name of every person that arose to speak. During the meeting I sensed that I was one of those mem bers of the press which they talked about over and over again the press which did not always present a true picture of what was happening. Later we learned that everything went off swell "except for the administration and the press." From the minute I entered the room I felt that the group had a chip on its shoulder. The mem bers seemed to believe that they were going to be investigated by the FBI. And when they finally asked me to pin on a "Press" tag, it made me believe that they were afraid that some Wallacite would talk out of turn if I asked any of them a question. We did not go to any . of the panel discussion groupi th were conducted by "experts." After reading the account of them (See PRESS, page i) have been taken over by Russia. Both Mr. Robertson and Mr. Editor: Tho members of Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority wish to express sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who helped us dur ing and after the fire which damaged our house on February 13. We could not have done with out the men and women who seeing we needed help swarmed over and removed our furniture and other belongings. Thanks goes to the fraterities who. gave us places to eat that eveninig and the following morning and also to the other sororities and women's dorms who offered us places to sleep. Special appreciation goes to the Guilty Editor: Apropos of the fine distinction between "discrimination" and "segregation" which you make in the editorial on that subject, in the issue of February 27, I wonder if perhaps you are not guilty of a more serious evil than the one to which you con scientiously admit. Recourse to Webster's classical work reveals that segregation is a. practical consequence of the (mental) act of distinguishing. The latter is the primary denotation- of the term "discrimina tion." The secondary meaning assigned to this term, however, seems to be the one you desire to evade pardon me avoid. This is as follows: "A distinction, as in treatment; esp., and unfair or injurious distinction." (In ef- feet) : "The arbitrary imposition of. . .a difference in treatment made between persons" etc. Now I wonder what ingenious interpretation you can give to such terms as "unfair," "unjust, etc., which will except the hu miliating segregation of a person on the basis of an hereditary skin characteristic? Come now, Mr. Editor, let us have no more of this eristic logomachy. Let us rather have the courage of our convictions. If we believe in discriminating amongst human beings on the basis of pig mentation, then let us say so; let us hold our heads up high and announce to our fellow men that we believe in, democracy only in so far as it conforms to our prejudices. M. E. Lean (Editor's Note: If Mr. Lean has the courage of his convic tions, why does he not use "seg regation" instead of "discrimina tion" in his last sentence. Of course, we do not have "Web ster's classical work." Our source is an old, 1946 edition Webster's Veterans Groups Pulling Together For TEW Measure B7 R.

FOR THIS ISSUE: NIGHT EDITOR: Herb Nachman NIGHT SPORTS: Bill Carmichael not be able to make a million as a movie star himself, but he thinks he can fix it so somebody else does. Taking over the usual chores of a talent agent, the cowboy actor has signed a pretty model to a personal contract and is building her for stardom. "With my "managed career,' I think she's a cinch to be a star right from the start," Barry said. "This system in which an actor starts out in small parts and grad -ually works up, that's no good. You're just wearing yourself down while you're working your self up." Barry "discovered" Mary Gibbs of Kansas City when he saw her picture in a fashion magazine. "I was convinced then she was a sure bet for stardom," he said. "She had poise, beauty, glamor and everything. So I called her up in Kansas City and asked her how she'd like to be in the movies. He Wasn't Kidding "Well, she thought I was kid ding. But I was going east any way, so I flew up to Kansas City to talk to Mary and her parents. She signed a contract the same day." , Now, under Barry's "managed career," Mary visits Republic studio every day to watch him work in "Madonna of the Des ert." Barry says that's so she'll get the feel of a movie set. She takes drama, diction and voice lessons under teachers Barry, selects. call, Ella Raines and Joanne Dru in their first pictures. "I think his system is fool proof, and Mary is going to get the same training his proteges do," Barry said. "Even to go ing up to the top of a hill and screaming every day until her voice gets husky." When Mary's ready, Barry says he's going to star her in a movie called "For Those with Cour age." He wrote the story and he says he's going to produce the movie. "It's a great part," he said con fidently. "It'll maker' her a star overnight. Then I'll be able to sell her contract for more than I can make myself." sal among American Indian tribes, Albei t says. Nearly every body could figure out, for in stance, that when a brave made a circle of his arms in front of him and appeared to be raptur ously hugging the empty air, he was talking about "sweetheart." cord with the records already on file of similar cases, the appellan is assured of "equal justire un der law"; he is entitled to as much, but to no more, considera tion as al! previous defendants committed the same offense un der similar circumstances." Other student opinion ran a.; follows: "Not only does ihe Student council offer valuable experi ence for student leaders, it is conducive io campus coopera tion wiih ihe Honor code. Self government is irreplaceable." H. Sieber. "I am in favor of abolishing this student government system and instituting a new one basel on the Federal system." Dave Collins. "I do not favor abolishing the Student council ii can be one of ihe besi features of our Stu dent government system." Ernie House, "I would like to have them take up more interesting pml, lems, such as free love, for in stance." Pete Beaudry.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE NSWER TO fBEV,oi:i Pl77,h A movie colony parlor game has turned up as an important part of the plot of Eddie Albert's latest picture. Albert, his bride, Margo, and some of their Hollywood friends, including writer Mary Anita Loos, used to sit around in their liv ing rooms of an evening and practice Indian sign language. "It often came in handy later," Albert said, "at stuffy dinner parties." Now, in Albert's movie "Ten derfoot," a Kings Bros, movie for Allied Artists release, he gets the Indians working for the good guys and against the bad guys, not to mention saving his own life, by shooting a little sign lan guage their way.
