-4 Roy Parker s Column BAWLING BOB THOMPSON ; came to U. N. C. last week and .really, put us in the know. THE HIGH POINT editor "talked before the Phi, and while not many folks heard him, the DTK splashed his remarks pret ty big. - (ani? tOT OTNOT-fully-informed students might - get the idea . Bawling Bob is an "unbiased newsman giving the true facts , about North Carolina polities. T'aint so, as far as we are con cerned. HERE'S WHY: Mr. Thompson is undoubtedly a very outspoken . newspaperman, and he is also pretty good at reporting straight news. Trouble with Bob is like quite a few newspaperfolk - he will and does take advantage of his writing position to use , the straight facts, and other not-so- factual facts, to put over - the - things and people he is pushing. Newspaper people most of 'em are like other folks. They like to be on the winning side politi cally, and they like (and this is ,the biggest like) to have their written opinions heeded by those in office. . NOW BAWLING BOB missed the boat in his political picking here a few years back. He hadt been a comfortable member-in-good -standing of the folks who were running Tar Heel state af fairs. But when the Kerr Scott era began, Bawling was no long er on the . direct pipeline. He had to shoot in the dark.. He wasn't given - the consideration he had once received. And his opinions and suggestions were seldom he.0-? . . . IN HIS SPEECH, Bawling Bob lamented the terrible state of Tar Heel affairs, bemoaned the ' lack of enlightened leadership in the state, and hinted at ter rible scandals in the present ad- ministration. Of course, he didn't . say what they were.' And, shoot ing at shadows again, we bland ly asserted as a fact that the Governor and Mr. William Um- ; stead had made a "trade" so that Mr. Umetead could' be Gov ernor and Mr. Scott eould ful fill his lifelong ambition" to run for the U. S. Senate. - " PERFECT EXAMPLE: Bawl ing Bob's speech ought to be used as an example in a text book on politics. It was a clas- . sic of what the "on-the-outside" political writer and speaker, should say. Shooting at shadows, recalling the glorious past, hint ing dire misdeeds and bemoan ing the "low state" of present affairs are the stock in trade of "such folks. We would do the v same if we were in Bawling Bob's shoes. Except we could -never match his effectiveness. JUST FOR THE RECORD, then, let's put Mr. Thompson's remarks in their proper perspec tive. Mr. Thompson is reading what he sees on his side of the :oin. But, the trouble is, Bawl ing Bob called tails .and it came out heads. But "he evened his calling up. He bet Smith instead of Graham. And that was sure caljing his shoC. He turned up a real head in our junior Sena tor. Btit then, we're npw talk- PAGE TWO ii H by Perry Fdrbcr Not Guilty I'd like to. take time out this morning to give thanks and con gratulations to pick Murphy, my colleague and nursemaid up at the NS A convention in Minn eapolis last summer. Murphy earns my congratula tions for being chosen to repre sent the students of America on UNESCO. (United Nations Eco nomic, Social, and Cultural Organization.) He earns my thanks for taking such good care of me all through the mid-summer marathon on vthe Missis sippi; For faithfully diluting my daquiris with ginger ale and tenderly fishing me out when ever I fell into an open manhole. Murphy is perfectly suited for his new position on UNE SCO. The guy's an authority on everything from, parliamentary procedure to glass blowing in pre-Renaissance Estonia. If you can't find it in the dictionary encyclopedia, or world almanac- -don't be discouraged. Just, ask Murphy... - ' Besides being very " heavily educated, Mr. Murphy has a list of qualifications that would stretch from here to the Girng houl Castle. He's confident. (Does crossword puzzles"with a fountain pen.) He's impressive. (Murphy could convince a jea lous wife that he hired a1 beauti ful young ; secretary for her efficiency.) He's aggressive.

Hollywood horizon in over a decade, the late Robert Walker. , - Perhaps the best tribute to his acting-is an unreleased film, "My Son John," in which he starred with Helen Hayes, but certainly "Strangers On a Train" is the film which will long lin ger in -your memory as one of his best films. Robert married in early life, and practically starved before ever gaining any recognition in motion pictures. After he, and his wife, Jennifer Jones, achieved stardom, they were di vorced. Bob, father of two sons, always hoped to get back to gether with his wife and family, but fate dealt quite a different hand. As it turned out, he be came dejected, and fast lost of that he's a confirmed human itarian. (He'd give you the glass es off his nearsighted eyes.) Murphy was. far and away the most well known figure up at the NSA convention. On the opening night a reception was given for ex-Governor and po tential President Harold Stas sen. As Murphy and Mr. Stassen were chatting near the punch bowl, 500 people were whisper ing, - "Who's that "tall; fellow standing over there beside Dick Murphy?? iMblki 23. By way of 25. Roman pound 27.

There is just no foretelling what a great career he had in store for him, had he lived. When someone like Bob passes on, it is indeed difficult to ex press an opinion, but June Ally son said something which will serve for all of us who watched and admired an excellent per former, "We'll miss him!" a Gf?me?
