Jr. Telling The Truth In the heat of the campaign for the seat in the U. S. Senate now held by Senator Frank Graham the major issue is not what a lot of people would make it seem to be but is what most of the people of this state will have to face up tp cither before or after the election. For the sake of the slate, the nation and the world, let us hope that it will be before the election. The major issue is WILL THE TRUTH BE HEARD ABOUT FRANK GRAHAM? The issues in the campaign are many, and the people are being peppered with diverse solutions to the problems of our times. Some of the ssues are being met squarely by both sides in opposition to each other. Others are not being met either squarely or fairly. The major issue, WILL THE TRUTH BE HEARD ABOUT FRANK GRAHAM is not be ing met fairly or squarely. The opposition to Frank Graham is calling on the people of the state to examine Senator Graham's record. But that is not what they really want them to do or intend for them to do. What they really want is for the people of the state to look at their view of Senator Graham's record. They have made out a record on Senator Graham for the voters to look at; and' they are hoping that the voter will look no farther. They are hoping that THE TRUTH ABOUT FRANK GRA HAM WILL NOT BE HEARD. For they know that if the truth is heard, Willis Smith faces certain defeat. Seldom have the people of the state seen a more well defined and carried-out political campaign AGAINST ONE PERSON. The Smith forces are smart; they have not left out many devices that can be used effectively aganst a man in a political campaign. They have searched the record clean for every little mistake Frank Graham may ever have made since he became prominent enough for his mistakes to count or to be remembered. The yhave seized on every oppor tunity to lift out of the post out of the record little iso ' lated deeds and statements and expressions, whether of hope, love, exhortation to good in this world, fear of tyranny with in and without, suggestion of reform and education of our social and political life, to do what they can to smear Frank Graham. They. have taken out. of context not only the words and deeds, but the very hopes and ideals of the man to paint a poisoned portrait for the. people to see, and seeing blind themselves with false fears and 19th century prejudice. They dare not trust the people with the truth! They dare not give credit where credit is due. And that is where the' subtle and sly and sorry sayings and speeches of the oppo sition to Frank Graham aredoing the greatest injustice to the man himself and to the people of the state. At the oufset of the campaign the tack was to brand Sen ator Graham as a crypto-communist; to so identify him with the radical front as to leave no -doubt in the voter's mind as to who could be trusted to side with the Russians should the decision come during the next term of the Senate. But that simply did not work. Not even the most gullible were falling for that line. Then they tried to convince the people that Frank Graham was a weak-willed, well-meaning little man who, although he didn't really believe in communism, could be led around by the nose by communists. That didn't work, either. Your Honor Council The Men's Council established the following as standard policy on February 25, 1949: "Any student found guilty of violating the Honor System should be suspended from the University for at least one quarter." This statement is in accord with the long-estblished tradition of student government in handling violations of the Honor System. Suspension is a sentence that is made part of the defend ant's record in the University files. When any student is reinstated by the Council, the notation of suspension is countermanded by an entry of the action of the Council reinstating the student; however the suspension entry is not included on any transcripts issued after reinstatement. Historically, the procedure for reinstatement of any stu dent who has been suspended by the Men's or Women's Council begins with the filing of a request for reinstatement by the student with the Charman of the Men's or Women's Councl. This usually takes the form of a letter from the student to the Couneil Chairman requesting that his case be reconsidered looking toward reinstatement in school and termination of the suspension of this student. In any hearing or consideration of a case for reinstate ment the following factors are considered. (a) The nature of the offense for' which the suspenson occurred orginally. (b) The attitude of the student during his trial. (c) The student's record at the University. (d) His resolution to support the Honor System and the Campus Code if and when he is reinstated. (e) The activities of the student during suspension. WASHINGTON. Genial GOP Chairman Guy Gabrielson now has so many statement-makers that he's had to hire a boss to control them. In fact, there are almost more ghost-writers and publicity men in and around Republican Head quarters' than there are potential candidates for", the White House, and each ghost-writer seems to be working for his own particular dark horse. Some time ago the Republicans decided to follow the lead of the late Charley Michelson, who, with astute statements written backstage for big-name Democrats, helped put across sev eral Democratic victories. But now there are so many high-priced GOP publicity men that Chairman Gabrielson finds himself a quarterback fn a team where every one else is calling the signals. Here is the roll call of the GOP ghost-writers and the party fac tions they represent: Bob Humphreys ex-I.N.S. correspondent, paid $20,000 a year by the National Committee, but actually works for ex-Speaker Joe Martin. ' With a staff of 15 at the George Washington Inn on Capitol Hill, Humphreys grinds out speeches, statements and strategy for Martin andjiis small crew of kingmakers in Congress. VIC JOHNSTON Former Harold Stassen lieutenant, paid $15,000 by the National Commit tee to find words for Senators. He has a staff of five. The white-haired, easygoing Johnston re presents the mildly progressive GOP wing and is popular with newsmen. ARTHUR HACHTEN An ex-I.N.S. reporter, is Sen. Ken Wherry's "brain." He is paid $10,860 annually by Congress and is the man who en ables Wherry to make those quick comebacks at Truman. Hachten writes 'em and Wherry speaks 'em. DICK GUYLAY Onetime New York. Herald -Tribune' newsman, now' a public relations and advertising expert specializing in Republican campaigns. He is paid by Sen. Robert Taft out of his own pocket. BILL MYLANDER Former correspondent for the Cowles Papers,' he has the' unhappy task of trying to coordinate all the GOP press agents. Bill gets $25,000 a year as the new GOP Publicity Director. Before Mylander was appointed, Chairman Gabrielson wanted to eliminate the large word factories on Capitol Hill paid by the National Committee. But this brought such snorts of rage that Gabrielson backed down. NOTE What got Gabrielson really sore was a rumor apparently circulated by GOP grost writers that Gabrielson was on his way out as national chairman. Mixed Personalities ' Canadian minister of External Affairs Lester B. "MLike" Pearson, once ambassador to the U.S.A., picked up a Cablegram the other day and showed it to friends. It was addressed: '"Hon. Drew "Pearson, Secretary of State for External Affairs, Ottawa." "Fame at last!" exclaimed Mike, who always delighted FDR with his sense of humor. He ex plained that the cable, which had been sent from Paris, obviously was an error. "But of course," he added, "It could have been 'George Drew Pearson. " (George Drew is Opposition Leader in' the Canadian Parliament.) Agrarian Reformers One of the chief proofs offered by Senator McCarthy and Louis Budenz that Owen Latti mcre is a Communist is that he called the Chin ese Communists "agrarian teformers" and got all the other writers to do the same. Thus they de ceived the American public and the Stafife De partment. " However, careful research into the writings of American experts on China now reveals that it was not Lattimore who called the Communists "agrarian reformers," but a high-ranking Repub lican none other than Patrick J. Hurley. Hurley, who was Secretary of War in Hoover's Cabinet, GOP candidate for senator from New Mexico, and U. S. Ambassador to China, has been held up by the McCarthy group as the man who was dead, right about the Chinese Commu nists, and whose work Lattimore was trying to undermine. Yet on returning from his Ambas sadorial post in China, Hurley, speaking before the National Press Club on Nov. 29. 1945, was quoted in the Washington Post as follows: "In discussing the Chinese Communists. Hur ley said there m!ht be some among them who look to Mosco wf or guidance, but he thought most of them were just reformers outs who wanted to be the ins. " 'The only difference between Chinese Com munists and Oklahoma Republicans,' he said, 'Is that the Oklahoma Republicans are not arm ed.' " -- NOTE 1 In the same speech. Hurley blasted the State Department. And having already .re signed, he could hardly have been reflecting its or Lattimore's views. NOTE 2LatfImore says he knew that the Chinese Communists were not simply peasant reformers, therefore never wrote anything "to that effect. t . -V'- ' : I-. ; Mr. Graham Jones Young Democratic Club , ... . .... Chapel Hill. North Carolina Dear Mr. Jones: . It became necessary for us to fill in Fudav. Mav 12 1950, withnothcr speaking engagement 'MrSmith, though wo held this date open f.,r ,u and vour group for several weeks. It appear, ttat " u were unable to make that date convon ient for your group. - Wc are heartily sorry that we had to c-nM the first engagement we had with you. With all good wishes, I am Sincerely, . . Charles P. Green Pearson Special Last December, Lie told a friend that ho thought the Cold War could be ended by a Wch-level conference between Truman, Stalin. Attlee and Bidault. But when he was urged to see President Truman about such a meeting, Lie smiled. "The State Department wouldn't like it," ho said, "and they always keep a good watch on me." In this LiA has one remotely common interest with Senator McCarthy. While he doesn't be lieve there are Communists in the State Depart ment he wonders why, when President Truman has made such a clean sweep of his. domestic cabinet family, he has never brought much change to the State Department. Lie apparently feels that it needs -a change. An Open Letter By . Tom Wharlon Dear Orientation Counselors; I take this opportunity to lodge a sincere plea and sug- , gestion with you regarding the orientation of the new fresh men next fall, the class of '54. Having just about reached the end of a four year hitch at Caro lina, and anxious to be on my way to greener pastures, I re call two falls in the past when I was an orientation counselor besides having participated in variuos and sundry other men tionable and unmentionable ac tivities here. I believe that I know what some of the ques tions asked of 'you by your freshmen will be, and I would caution you to consider well your answers. - In addition to questions about Charlie Justice, to which the answer (with hat in hand) is obvious, you will hear questions about communism and liberal ism and eccentricities for which Carolina and Chapel Hill are noted. You cant ' begin to ad vise a freshman about which crowds to go with, and what activities to join "with and what crusades, of which there are many here, that he , should en- ' list with. The best you can do is to telf him to . take all that he hears, outside, of class ' with a grain of salt a , dose of salts may be necessary in some classes and to use his own head. Tell him not to join the first torch bearing political party that of fers him a'vote, and not to join the first fraternity that offers him a bid, and not to fall for. the first, coed that offers him a well, that offers him anything. Tell him about the large ma jority of students on the cam pus that, after having ' been here for the past several years, still don't know how to vote in the past Spring elections. He should know about the people who have been here in Chapel Hill under the guidance of the . great president Frank P. Gra ham who still don't know wheth er to vote him into senate or not. In other words, he should be made aware that there is no reason why - he should live his life in his first year in Chapel Hill, because, after all, when fie graduates from here, and gets back into a normal society again, he will have to decide all over again. Above all, impress your fresh-' man with the fact that there is a balance that should "be reached between curriculum and extra-curriculum here. He. should not go to either extreme, and should be careful lest he find, himself in one or the other extreme before he knows about it. It has been awfully easy and .tempting for some students here in the past and present to get so completely grafted into the dignified paneling of the Di and Phi Halls that they forget that when . .they get out into the world they will need to know more than parliamentary pro cedure to g-et along. Then there are others who go the other way and get so engrossed in ' the "Uses and Functions of Mad ness in Elizabethan Drama Be tween 1580 and 1640" that they forget that their future employ er docCh't give a damn about' that. r ' - - WAVA 8 23 ZO 34 HI 5o V2l 24 42 43 is T7A V,. 38 31 3? 25 36 51 54 4& I 8 20 11 1 Wt 44 14 V. 77A 'A 1 37 4? 52 55 27 33 2& V2L 45 29 7s.
