Express Yourself
Editor:
"Death of a Salesman" was so powerful a play , and so
well acted that not until later did I realize that I had almost
become accustomed, by its frequency, to hearing the names
of the first and second persons of God "taken in vain." This
practice would probably be justified on the grounds of re
alism. Surely the realism of life without God to give it true
meaning and value was portrayed starkly enough without
using that highly questionable method! It may not have
been possible to delete these references, as I understand was
done in the screen version. If not, it becomes a choice of
values. Is there any value higher or more worthy of being
.preserved than reverence? No value can be kept without
willingness to sacrifice lesser values for it, if need be. Would
it not be better to forego even so great an experience as
"Death of a Salesman" rather than to violate the reverence
enjoined by the Third Commandment and in the first peti
tion of the Lord's Prayer?
If it should be contended that the theatre has no responsi
bility to preserve values but only. to portray life as it exists
in all of its aspects, that raises even more important questions.
Not even the people who present plays, and values. By
necessity, in the process of selection, they will operate ac
cording to some standard of values that they hold. Realism
is not an ultimate standard. The questions are, what sides of
reality, and how, and why? For what purpose and to what
end? These are the very issues raised by the play, and they
can not be evaded on either side of the footlights.

In a nationally circulated one
paragraph news story, , the
Syracuse Herald-Journal " re
ported the following item.
A Harvard freshman, only
son of a New York advertising
executive, vanished today after
leaving his Cadillac touring car
in a garage. (The 18-year-old
student) left four notes indicat
ing he was irked at restrictions
imposed on first year students.
We don't know this fellow
personally and we hope he
doesn't plan to come here, but
we know what kind of chap he
must be and feel sorry for him.

If you're one of those stu

lege restrictions, we feel sorry
for you, also.
After all, it isn't your fault.
If you were brought up in a
family that let you run wild
whenever you wanted to, then
you would also object to the
discipline of college life. You
may also find it practical to "up
and run away" one of these
days.
But if you do decide to take
off, by all means, don't leave
your Cadillac behind you. You
can go much faster in a car.

REVIEWS
Last week someone got an
itchy trigger finger with the
clipping shears, and so the final
third of the "Death of a Sales
man" review was cut. Herewith
follows a Reader's Digest ver
sion of what was omitted on
Friday. Don Treat, Harry Davis,
Anne Miller, Milton Beyer, Paul
Anisko, Mary Helen Crain, and
Judy Taylor all turned in ex
tremely able performances.
Tom Patterson's direction had
good pace and pointed up the
many powerful scenes. Bill
Long's set accomplished the
minor miracle of convincingly
getting a complete set on the
small Playmaker stage. The
lighting, by Norma Cartwright,
was good in some places, but
failed to indicately clearly the
transition between the scenes
dealing with the present and the
flashback scenes.
This week should be pro
. claimed Marilyn Monroe week in
Chapel Hill, for she can be seen
in three different films within
the course of five days. In con
trast to last ' week this is very
definitely the time to go to the
movies.
Miss Monroe will first grace
Chapel Hill with her presenece
on Tuesday when she will be
. appearing on the screen of the
Carolina as part of the all-star
cast of "O. Henry's Full House,"
in which she is playing what
else a streetwalker. On the
order of the Somerset Maugham
pictures, it is a collection of O.
Henry short stories. The group
is comprised of the folowing:
"The Cop and the Anthem,"
starring Miss Monroe, Charles
Laughton, and David Wayne;
"The Clarion Call," with Richard
Widmark and Dale Robertson;
"The Gift of the Magi," starring
Jeanne Crain and Farley
Granger; "The Last Leaf," with
Anne Baxter, Jean Peters, and
Gregory Ratoff; and "The Ran
som of Red Chief," starrring
' Fred Allen and Oscar Levant.
There is some question as to
whether the last-named episode
will be presented here, because
it has been omitted., in v some
places, but whether it is or not,
"O. Henry's Full House" re- .
mains a film that should please
' everybody, and you are very
strongly urged to see it.
Monroe is also cavorting
around in "Don't Bother to
Knock" at the Varsity, on Tues
day in which she proves she
really can act, as if anyone
cared, and on Sunday and Mon
day at the Carolina in "Monkey
Business," an amusing nothing
about youth elixirs co-starring
with Cary Grant and Ginger
Rogers.
The Monroe-less films that
are worth recommendation this
week are the following: at the
Varsity, "The Desert Fox" on
Wednesday and "Red River" on
Friday; at the Carolina, Jose
Ferrer's "Cyrano de Bergerac"
on Thursday.
The Russians are now claim
ing that they, and not Abner
, Doubleday, invented the game
of baseball. A Soviet youth
magazine told its readers that
"beizbol" is not American but
just a distortion of the Russian
village sport called "lapta,"
which was played centuries be
fore there was an America on
the map.
: American baseball, said the
youth magazine, is a "beastly
battle, a bloody fight with may
' hem and murder.'
It said also that the players
j are slaves who are bought and
' sold like sheep. Then, when the
players are worn out and usually
crippled as a result of injuries
suffered on the playing field,
they are thrown out on the
streets to die of starvation.
The Moscow newspaper, Is
westija, is greatly disturbed be
cause so many graduate students
have postponed taking their fin
al exams. No student can get a
degree unless he has passed this
exam, but he can't take the
exam until he has served for
three years in a position desig
nated by the state.
Ohio State's 1953 yearbook,
The Makio, will be heard as
well as seen."
In each yearbook there will
be a 15-minute phonograph re
cord of some of the sounds most
familiar to Ohio State students
the chimes, -the marching
band, school songs and excerpts
from speeches by campus leaders.

The Washington Merry -
WASHINGTON Little was
published about it nationally
but, while Senator McCarthy has
been scattering guilt-by-association
charges around the country,
some legal depositions have been
taken in Wheeling, W. Va., re
garding the all-important ques
tion of whether Senator McCar
thy tells the truth.
McCarthy's first charge of
Communism in the State Depart
ment, which so startled the na
tion, was madei. at Wheeling, W.
Va., Feb. 9, 1950, when he said
205 Communists were in that
vital agency which conducts our
foreign affairs. Since then, and
due perhaps to the fact that no
Communists have been found in
the State Department, McCarthy
has been trying to deny that he
ever used the figure "205." He
has claimed he was misquoted,
misunderstood, unfairly dealt
with.
However, here is the testimony
of witnesses at Wheeling, W.
Va., who saw McCarthy on that
day and heard him speak.
WITNESS NO. 1 News Edi
tor James Whitaker of Station
WWVA identified a copy of the
script McCarthy used on Feb.
9, 1950: testified that he was
present when McCarthy spoke;
said he used the script to check
the speech while making a tape
recording; that both the tape and
the script contained the follow
ing statement by McCarthy:
"While I cannot take the time
to name all the men in the State
Department who have been
named as active members of the
Communist party and members
of a spy ring, I have here in my
hand a list of 205 a list of
names that were made known
to the Secretary of State as be
ing members of the Communist
party, and who nevertheless are

still working and shaping policy
in the State Department."
WITNESS NO. 2 WWVA
program director Paul A. Myers
testified: he read over McCar
thy's script on the afternoon of
Feb. 9 and it contained the above
language. On Feb. 10 he read
an account of the speech in the
Wheeling Intelligencer quoting
this language. Later that morn
ing he got the tape recording
and played it back to make sure
if this language had been used.
It had been.
WITNESS NO. 3 Frank Des
mond, reporter for the Wheeling
Intelligencer testified: He wrote
the news story appearing Feb.
10 concerning McCarthy's speech
which contained the above lan
guage regarding 205 Commun
ists. He received copy of script
from McCarthy en route from
airport, and it contained this
statement.
WITNESS NO. 4 WWVA as
sistant manager Paul J. Miller
testified: He examined the Mc
Carthy script on the afternoon
of Feb. 9 and heard the figure
205 used in listening to the
broadcast later that night. He
also identified a photostat of the
script which contained the lan
guage. In contrast McCarthy swore on
April 24, 1950, before a Senate
committee that he had not used
this language.' He stated in a
Senate speech Feb. 20 not only
that he hadn't used this lan
guage but that he hadn't used
a written speech. (Witness Whit
aker testified under oath he had
seen McCarthy reading from a
written speech, while four wit
nesses identified copies of Mc
Carthy's script.)
On Sept. 7, 1951, McCarthy,
interviewed by the U. S. News
and World Report, said that at

Wheeling he had referred to a
1946 letter from Secretary of
States James Byrnes to Con
gressman Sabath. But all four
witnesses stated that at Wheel
ing he said no such thing.
Thus McCarthy has put him
self in the position of giving at
least three different versions of
what .he said at Wheeling in
order to alibi the fact that ac
tually there were not 205 com
munists' in the State Depart
ment, and that, despite pro
longed investigation since his
speech, not one communist has
been discovered by the Loyalty
Board.

Editor:
No one has ever said that the
military service has a monopoly
on democracy. That belief will
find salvos of support from the
ROTC students here on the Car
olina campus.
Of course, when a young man
pledges himself voluntarily in
to the unit he is expected to
abide by the codes and mores
existing in that unit or disas
sociate himself with that group.
However, there are certain bas
ic principles which respect and
common decency demand.
Nothing which is compulsory
is usually met with love espe
cially when the compulsion per
tains to the payment of fees. The
AROTC students and the NR
OTC students were forced to pay
three and five dollars respec
tively for social fees or receive
demerits as a penalty. As a RO
TC student myself, I had no in
tentions of joining the unit for
social whims and military balls.
With close to three thousand
dollars about to be collected
from both groups I can rightful
ly believe that the money could
be better spent for other things
than beer and pretzels. But why
compel its payment in the first
place?
Another disgruntled group
complains that having to march
at the Duke vs. Carolina football
game is a little short of despot
ism on the part of the high
brass. Only excuses of emer
gency are accepted for absence
and an unexcused absence spells .
expulsion from the unit. Some
how, boys feel that Saturday af
ternoon is their free time to go
to the game or not, to wear what
they want, or to sit at the game
where they please. And where
as the groups were planning
beer parties they were also for
bidden drinking at the football
game. (An atroscity)
While some beat their chests
in disapproval of these regula
tions another group observes in
justice elsewhere. In the AROTC
no man is permitted to wear
gloves unless they meet with the
demands of the officers. On a
cold day he may wear gloves
which meet specifications and
which he himself had to pur
chase. Those perplexed fellows
feel that the military should fur
nish the uniform or allow boys
to wear their own clothing
where the uniform is lacking.
Perhaps they have a point
worthy of consideration by the
brass.

that the $1.90 increase is equit

clared Walker. "In fact, we could
approve as much as $2.15, using
the standards the board itself
has set in the Aluminum, Tun
gsten and Northwest Lumber
cases.'
Industry members, led by Bas
sett, hotly dissented, contending
that Walker was making irres
ponsible statements and that he
was trying to force a vote with
out sufficient discussion. The
AFL official replied that he was
