Student travel abroad has once more become an integral part of American education. Summer studies in European universities, travelling irv organized study tours, working in workshops in Europe, living in foreign families' homes, and hostelry, have once more caught our eyes. These various means of "seeing the world" during the summer months are available to every student in the United States. However, because of poor dissemination of information, many oppor tunities have been taken advantage of only by a few, and consequently, thousands of students, wishing to go abroad during the summer, have not been able to take part in these programs. Student government at the University of North Carolina, with the National Students Association, has set up an Inter national Commission on campus to collect all the facts con cerning "study, work, and travel abroad" and to make these oportunities available to all the students. Already, hundreds of pages of information have been received at the Graham Memorial office. NSA tri-nation tours, groups for the Ex periment in International Living, and other trips are already being organized. Being a member school of the National Students Association, our students have at their finger-tips proabably the cheapest tours to be found anywhere tours most appropriate for student needs. ADDroximatelv sixtv sturipnts will h rv,tPr1 f v,ic region to go on the NSA study tours, according to information received from the local office. Since the University of North Carolina is the largest NSA-member college in the Virginia Carolina Region, a very large number of the students chosen to go on NSA tours wil come from this school. Certainly" every interested student should make an application. . On all these tours, you will come in direct contact with students of your age students with the same type of prob lems as yours and who are interested in your culture, your reactions, your "way of thinking."

Stu mping It Denfeld By John With apologies to students who believe that the Daily Tar Heel should limit itself to cam pus activities and personalities, this column is concerned with a much more vital matter, and with one which is properly re garded as probably the top news of the present time. Last Friday morning's newt papers carried the story of Admiral Louis Denfeld's ab rupt dismissal by Secretary of the Navy Francis Matthews. Although the move has been coming ever since Denfeld dared to give the country his frank opinions rather than what he was told to say, this was shocking news. Time magazine stated when Denfeld gave his views of the "Navy-Air Force" controversy that his days as Navy CNO were, in all probability, num bered. Many angry citizens have called, by implication at least, for his removal. And the coun try as a whole undoubtedly feels (whether it agrees with the Navy or the Air Force) that it is just part of their dispute. But some member? of Con gress and a large number of acute and experienced observ ers elsewhere see in it a much more important factor. Repre sentative Sasscer, a Maryland Democrat, expressed this consid eration when he said that the action represented an attempt to enforce a "goose stepping subjugation" on the men of the Pentagon. The American memory, no toriously short, has already lost sight of the cautions against the Man cm Horseback which foes .of unification brought up a short two years ago. But in the person of a power hungry . bureaucrat, Louis Johnson, and his crea ture, Francis Matthews who supposedly represents the Navy in the Pentagon's top drawer councils, this man on C. C. MEND EN HALL CHUCK HAUSER BILLY CARMICHAEL. IH Dilemma Stump horseback is beginning to be discernible. American principles of free dom of speech and of the right and duty of the Congress to in vestigate administrative mis management are threatened by their actions. As one member of Congress observed, it is a ques tion of whether or not Congress can obtain information from high government officials with out "their being threatened with removal by the President." Fortunately, Denfeld's firing has aroused strenuous and angry protest, but its effect if any is not yet visible. There have been demands that Matthews resign ' and there has been 'some sug gestion of a Congressional hear ing on the subject of Denfeld's ouster, but neither looks like an imminent possibility. In the meantime, in addition to the loss of Denfeld, the coun try seems to be about to lose the services, as CNO at least, of Ad miral Radford. Speculation as to Denfeld's successor has centered around Radford's junior, For rest Sherman who, unlike Rad ford, has not figured in the re cent Congressional controversy. All in all it locks like a suc cessful Pentagon purge is afoot. If not as bloody as the Russian equivalent method of removing disagreement, it should be as effective. The people In general are not dis posed to make much of an ' issue of it, and many seeming ly favor the continued concen- , - ' tration of power in the De fense department. With Denfeld gone, the keel of the U. S. S. United States rusting in the wavs, and weekly newsmagazines booming John son for the presidency, things appear to be settling down again. Perhaps the cynics are ripht when they tell us that the American people prefer peace and quiet to peace and liberty. vAsriniGTon SC ! By George Dixon WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 Ob viously I mrist refrain from supplying names because it would get a good guy thrown off the force, but there is a cop per in the nation's capital who goes in for a' very practical form of jredemption. Without publicity, or offi cial sanction, he has just plucked his latest brand from the burning. - Because of his unorthorox ministrations, one of Washington's bigger book makers has been converted into a hardworking insur ance salesman. The convert will now testify to his strange reformation: "As you know" I have been in the gambling racket for quite a long time now horses, num bers, craps anything. I've done good and I've done bad. De pending on how much heat was on, but I never got too much ahead. Few gamblers really do. "Well, for a middling spell now, I've been operating a horse parlor with my partner. A couple cf weeks ago, while my partner was out getting us a couple of cheese sandwiches and coffee, this copper burst in. "He had timed it nicely The day's play was over and all the slips and dough were on the table in plain sight. It was a cIean pinch, "This cPPer counted the hoved TS aTg envelope, "I groaned to myself: 'Well, here we g again. The best I can expect is that this copper will glom onto the 22 g's, leav ing us broke again, or that we will go broke anyway paying a defense lawyer.' "The copper held the enve lope with the 22 grand, and looked at me. Finally he said: " 'I've known you all my life. I know your mother and it al most kills her having you in this racket. Why don't you get smart?' . "I- asked him what he meant 'smart' and he said: 'You are a chump, and don't know it. Your wife couldn't stand the life you were making her lead and she beat it on you, taking the two kids. You don't have a decent friend in the world.' "He kept fingering the" en velope. 'Do you know what I'm going to do,' he said. 'I am going to give you back this dough. You can use it to get started in some legit bus iness. But I am coming back tomorrow and if you are still in the gambling business 1 am going to loss you in the can and throw away, the key.' Letters To The Editor PRAISES SPIRIT Editor: As a graduate of the Univers ity of Tennessee I was more ': tha pleased by the outcome of last Saturday's football game. But, as a resident of Chapel Hill, I was even happier at the performance of a team that .did not actually take the field. That team is the Carolina cheering section. Since the first of this academic year, I have heard and watched with growing admiration the U. N. C. cheerleaders and the fine support given them by the student body. We all know, how- ever, that it is not hard to root for a winning team. Then the heartwarming demonstration of school spirit when the team re turned from the L. S. U. game gave warning that there might be something more than mere exuberance behind those Tar Heel yells. And this past week-' end was a real 'assurance that this university has much more on the ball than just a football team, importan as the latter may seem. vf So more power to the students of Carolina! Their cheering was heard clearly by the visitors from Tennessee and when, at the end of the game, the words of "Tar Heel Born and Bred" came proudly across the field, the reaction of the Vols sup porters, as well as the others, was sincere praise for the lo T efrT DEADEND BUS f tfe1' Distributed by King Features Syndicate by arrangement with The Washington Stu Music The fall music season opened auspiciously Tuesday evening in Hill Hall with a program of chamber music played by The University String Quartet. One of the largest and most, distinguished audiences to be seen in several years for a reci tal of this kind attended, includ ing student government officials, heads of various departments in the University, and a large num ber of students and townspeo ple. The Quartet is composed of music faculty members. They are Edgar Alden, 1st violin; Francis Sloan, 2nd violin; Dor othy Alden, viola; and Efrim Fruchtman, violoncello. The as-. sisting artist was Dr. William Newman, piano. The program consisted of. three works: Mozart's Quartet in F Major. K. 590; the First Quartet by the 60-year old American composer, Randall Thompson and Johannes Brahms' powerful Piano Quintet in F Minor. Mozart wrote 26 compositions for yalty and sportsmanship of the North Carolinians. , Keep your spirit, Tar Heels! While it is to be hoped that the rest of this season will be suc sessful for the boys in Blue and White, your loyalty and support means more to your school now, and will mean more in the fu ture, than any football game or season ever can. Elizabeth M. Corlew HAS NO FAVORITES Editor: v . - We, leaders of religious groups on this campus, believe that God does npt have any favorites. We feel that- His love does not recognize the distinction 6f race, nationality," or color, and that we, children of God, must recognize our common human ity. Therefore, we feel that segregation because of race, na- tionality, and color in all walks of like is contrary to God's mo ral law. . . We agree with the statement in your editorial "Should Segre gation Go?" that traditions can not be ended overnight. It is our belief that . the ending of segregation in graduate educa tion is the next step. This ap proach has proved constructive in the Universities of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Maryland, and Ken tucky. That Negro students would be welcomed in our grad uate schools is indicated by the poll of graduate students, pub lished in the Tar Heel in the.. Keep Coming Back Sounding Board Season Opens By Wink Locklair string quartet, and the one in F. Major has always been pop ular. Not. so, well-known to the audience here was Mr. Thompson's . quartet. He has not produced a great deal of music for small combinations of instruments since his prin cipal interest is choral and . symphonic music. This quar tet, written in the modern polyphonic idiom, provided interesting contrast to the Mozart and Brahms. ' No doubt many in the audi ence came especielly to hear the piano' quintet. Although cham ber music wa3 one of the least popular forms in the 19th cen tury, Brahms managed to pro duce a good bit, including three string quartets, two string quin tets, three piano quartets, this piano quintet, three piano trios, a clarinet trio, the famous horn trio and a number of other , works. Dr. Newman, who played the piano part Tuesday evening, says it is one of the most excit--ing works to play in all cham- ber music literature" The great unity of structure and brilliant development of themes is not to (All letters submitted should be typewritten, double-spaced, on only one side of paper) Spring of 1948 showing that a large majority of these students' were in favor of such a move.

Foust Allan Milledge Tom Donnelly Jay Joseph Joe Beasley , FOLK DANCING Editor:. I wish to ask especially for your cooperation and help in ' connection with our Folk Dance Group. The group is new and small, and if we do not succeed in building up- or consolidating now we may well fall by the wayside. , So I hope you will help us by publishing some basic facts for us in the DTH. 1. We meet every Thursday from 5-6 p.m. in the dance stu dio of the Women's Gym. 2. We welcome all who are interested in the folk dances of ANY nation, particularly those who can contribute distinctive dances. Townspeople, faculty members, etc afl are welcome. 3. At the moment we are ' learning some simple - Scots' dances such as "Skip the Wil lows," "The Gay Gordons," "St. A be found in any similar compo sition. Tuesday evening's program was prepared with care and skill. Mr. and Mrs. ' Alden have been playing in the group since it was organized in 1946, and Mr. Fruchtman, joined them when he came to the University last year. Dr. Newman, who is an asso ciate professor in the music department, is well-known throughout the - country for ' his interpretation of the Brahms piano quintet as well , as other compositions. ...... It is difficult for faculty mem bers to get together for any great length of time due to their pressing teaching assignments. And to perfect the music played by the University String Quar tet takes many hours of rehear sal. The enthusiasm of the audience, however, indicates that there is a growing interest in chamber music on the cam pus and that the superb and polished performances given Tuesday night were thoroughly enjoyed. ' , Bernard's Waltz," but soon we hope to progress to more lively group dances such as the "Eight some Real." 4. Our members are relatively small but our enthusiasm is high, and we can offer an in teresting and enjoyable hour of exercises and fun to any who care to join us. James W. Wilson ' TIRED, TOO Editor: On this business of .being tired of reading what opinions a certain H. Friestadt had I cer tainly agree that we should scrap the kid. His "Daily Jerkers" bother too many otherwise enjoyable breakfasts for me and possibly others. It's 'not what he says. But the fact that he gets the chance to repeat it so often. Why doesn't he concentrate on being part of the scenery rather than trying to repaint it. Bill Bell DEPLORABLE? Editor: " . We who have faith in the forward look, fair play, equal opportunity for all men, Chris tian brotherhood deplore your faith in the backward look, foul play, Jim Crowism, and racial separatism as shown in your editorial "Should Segrega tion Go" which appeared in the Oct. 27 Daily Tar Heel. Albert E. Lovejoy Washington. Here's the Dope ori Admiral F.orrest Sherman, the : man who favored unifica tion: He was Forrestal's , favorite. Forrestal had him earmarked for Chief of Naval Operations, considered him the broadest military man he had ever known. In fact, Forrestal sent Sherman to the Mediterranean with the idea of replacing Adm. Richard Conolly as fleet com mander for Europe. But Conolly begged to stay on, and Forrestal gave in, expecting to make the transfer later. native, battleship admiral. tor. Sherman is just the oppositte ; Ching's patience Is that oft eyes ahead. Sherman is short, tanned, . ruddy with: straight gray hair. He wears glasses at his desk. He was a champion fencer at Annapolis, but his favorite exercise, now. is. walking. Aboard ship, he paces the deck; on land, he'd rather walk a few blocks than catch a cab. , Though he has a dynamic mind, Sherman's personality falls short of Admiral Halsey's. He doesn't play golf or tennis, but reads avidly for recreation. He prefers weighty works, such as the London Economist. Sherman won the complete respect of Gen. Lauris Norstad while writing the Unification Act. Note Sherman was ready to testify with the other admirals on capitol hill. He flew into town, and had his statement all ' ready. But Secretary of Defense Johnson already had him in mind for Chief of Naval Opera tion, didn't want him to get ' splattered with mud. So Sher man was kept in the shadow, never took the stand.

All. week long, hour after hour, day after day, like a brok en phonograph record, he list ened to the same company arguments that workers must contribute to the pension fund. "But your captive coal mines have a noncontributory agree ment with John L. Lewis," Ching told U. S. Steel Vice President John Stephens. "Yes, and look what happened to Lewis's pension fund," Ste phens replied. "It's been bank-?; rupted because it never was set t up on a sound, actuarial basis in the first place. We want to.; establish a sound pension plans for U. S. Steel employees. Ching argued that Phil Mur ray had proved his responsibil ity by his relentless fight against Communist elements in the CIO. In fact, Murray's leader ship was now being endangered because of his broadgauged ac ceptance of the fact-finding board's proposals for ending the, steel strike, which management had rejected. As a result, CIO left-wingers were yelling for his scalp. , Didn't it mean something to the company to be able to do business with a high-class, levelheaded,- responsible American ' like Phil Murray? asked Ching. , "Well, this question of con tributory pensions is a matter of principle with us," interposed Roger Blough, counsel for U. S. ' Steel. The Presidential fact finders would have come up with a different solution if they had to run a steel mill, he in timated. Maybe the fact-finders also took into consideration the problems of those who work in steel mill, slyly suggested Ching. "But contributory pensions are now an accepted fact a part of our economy," argued Stephens. "Social-security pen sions are contributory. The Railroad Retirement Act is based on the same principle. Private industry cannot be crit icized for going along with the pattern established by Con gress." So it went sometimes uito the night. Solution of Yesterday's Puzzle 54. Ward oil 55. King l-itin 56.
