The Riddle Of Democracy
The Greeks had a word for it. Our forefathers found a
use for it. The Russians have no use for it. And so many
Americans have no time for it.
Every American is a stockholder in a tremendous corpora
tion called Democracy. His vote; is his share in the American
way of life which pays dividends of freedom and the rights
of the individual.
Each stockholder must take stock of the corporation's
position and exercise his responsibility to protect his most
valuable investment. And Democracy can make no allowances
for risk.
The ballot well-used is one of the most powerful weapons
of peace and self-rule in the world. On the other hand, a
ballot misused or .unused can be as disastrous as a fourth
quarter fumble. Don't drop the ballot and expect a teammate
to carry on for you. Every single member of this team has
got to get on the ball and play his part.
When you put an X in the square, you're helping to cross
out the possibility of an ex-Democratic nation. Don't give
the Russians a red letter day by failing to write down your
choice next Tuesday.
We'd like to see more than 50 per cent of the population
at the polls next week. It only takes a few minutes to insure
years of time that we can use as we see fit.
VOTE TODAY SO THAT YOU CAN BE SURE OF A
VOTE TOMORROW.
DON'T BE REMOTE
WITH YOUR VOTE
Vanishing
We pointed out in The Daily Tar Heel earlier in the fall
that the organization of SUAB was an indication of vanishing
student "apathy." j The cooperation of the students with the
leaders of that organization is an even stronger indication.
Tuesday night in Graham Memorial John Sanders, Presi
dent of the Young Democrats, and Ham Horton, representing
the Students for Eisenhower, started the ball rolling for a
YWCA sponsored round-table discussion of the forthcoming
national election. Both speakers asserted their viewpoints
and then questions were fired from the participants (approxi
mately 50 students). The discussion on the whole proved
valuable and what is more important, indicative of the fact
that there are SOME students who feel keenly their responsi
bilities as voters.
We consider the interest shown in the discussion another
indication of vanishing "student apathy" and encourage more
and more of the same.

I like 'almost everybody; Ike,
and myself too.
I intend to vote for Ike in the
full knowledge that under the
present block voting system of
the electoral college my vote
will probably be ignored. Re
publicans are in a minority in
North Carolina and it is only
through' the action of those
Democrats who vote for men
and ideas rather than labels that
our state will vote for Eisen
hower. Eisenhower has qualifications
for the job which Stevenson
cannot approach. It is Eisen
hower, not Stevenson, who has
spent months in contact with our
allies in Europe coming to know
the situation and conflicts there
first hand.
It is he who has the military
knowledge to meet the situation
of Korea.
It is he who has the intimate
acquaintance with the needs
of the Armed Services necessary
to cope with the staggering pro
blem of balancing economy with
security in this, the most ex
pensive bf the activities of the
federal government.
It is he who is known and
respected by our allies and
known and feared by our ene
mies. I like Ike, the No Deal Can
didate. I don't like Wayne Morse who
deserted the party because he
couldn't run the show.
I don't like Joe McCarthy who
has been so careless with his
privileges; however it is up to
the people whom he represents
to decide whether he shall con
tinue to represent them. Cer
tainly he is no worse than the
two Talmadges of Georgia or a
certain former senator from
Missouri.
I don't like secret treaties or
"agreements" which are kept
secret for the security of the
Democratic Party instead of the
security of the nation, but which
place the nation in peril.
I don't like the continual
synthesis of international crises
to provide excuses to keep the -.v.
party in power, raise taxes, de
liver ever increasing power into
the hands of the president, and
to enlarge the Federal payroll
to make more people economic
ally dependent on keeping the
Democrats in power.
I don't like the foreign ser
vice gravy train being built up
and removed from Civil Ser
vice. I don't like an administration
which not only fails to clean
out corruption but deliberately
shields it from investigation.
I don't like a party ignoring
the clear preference for Estes
Kefauver on the part of the
people and nominating the can
didate of the bosses.
I don't like a foreign policy
which decides to give up Korea
to Communism and later re
verses itself in order to fight a
war. I find this especially dis
tasteful when it is done in
order to provide an inflationary
substitute for prosperity. I don't
like the Defense Bonds I bought
being worth fifty cents on the
dollar.
A democracy is government
controlled by the people.
A republic is democracy con
trolled by the people through
their duly selected representa
tives.
I like democracy, I like this
republic; I don't like the totali
tarianism that another twenty
years of "Trumanism" will
brine. The Constitution is no
protection then; it will be .re
placed by the exercise of fln
herent Powers."

The Washington Merry -
WASHINGTON During the
latter years of his life, Sen.
Arthur Vandenberg of Mich
igan, Republican, was troubled
with severe? heada s from
the brain tumor which eventually-
brought his death.
Dropping in to see him late
one afternoon, it was obvious
Vandenberg was not feeling well
and I remarked on it. He replied.
"These headaches aren't half
as bad as those given me by
some of my Republican col
leagues in the Senate."
Vandenberg was then in the
middle of his fight td put across
appropriations for the Marshall
plan, and went on to explain
that almost every night Repub
lican isolationist Senators were
meeting privately to hatch their
strategy against him. These
Senators he named as Jenner
of Indiana, Kem of Missouri,
Watkins of Utah, McCarthy of
Wisconsin, Ecton of Montana,
Cain of Washington, and Bricker
of Ohio.
Vandenberg, who was co
operating with the Democrats
on foreign policy in the same
way I described earlier Re
publican Secretaries of State
Frank B. Kellogg and Henry L.
Stimson as cooperating with
Democratic Senators, finally won
the Marshall Plan battle.
And in recognition of, that
service, Vandenberg's close
friend, Paul . Hoffman, a Re
publican and then head of
Studebaker, was made top Mar
shall Plan administrator. It was
a wise choice.
No factor played a greater
part in stopping the march of
Communism in Western Europe

that the Marshall Plan. And I
can say this as one who has
been to Europe many times be
fore and since the Marshall
Plan, who helped end the para
lyzing shipping strike at Le
Havre with a load of friend
ship train food in the dark
winter of 1947, who toured
through railroad stations pock
marked with bullets from Com
munist rioting, and paraded
through streets carrying Ameri
can food before crowds which
only a short time before had
cheered . the Communists.
For this stopping of Com
munism, Vandenberg, Hoffman,
and the authors of the Marshall
Plan deserve great credit.
Paul Hoffman left the Mar
shall Plan to join the Ford Foun
dation and to head up the Citi
zens for Eisenhower Committee.
Believing that Eisenhower pre
sented the best chance of re
taining an even-keeled, non
partisan foreign policy, Hoff
man was instrumental in getting
the General nominated.
Since then, and since Eisen
hower has embraced those same
Senators who caused Vanden
berg headaches, Hoffman has
been strangely silent,,
So also has Gen. Omar Brad
ley, who stormed the Normandy
beachheads and, along with
General Patton, bore the brunt
of the advance through France
and Germany. Once strong for
Ike, Bradley has changed his
mind. .
Eisenhower, of course, is tak
ing a calculated risk. He is risk
ing a savage partisan attack on
foreign policy, both in Korea,
and Europe, on the theory that
Go - Round
after he wins he can crack the
whip over the isolationist Sena
tors of his own party and keep
them in line.
This will probably work for
the first two years. But after
the patronage runs out, after
the jobs are filled, then the
Maverick isolationists of the
GOP will be' just as difficult for
Eisenhower as they were for
Vandenberg.
By and large history has
shown, as Frank B. Kellogg and
Henry L. Stimson so well knew,
that Republican Presidents get
better cooperation from Demo
cratic Senators than they get
from their own party.
When General Eisenhower
first decided to invade the South,
GOP Chairman Summerfield
cautioned: "The only time to go
south is in the winter."
A secret Republican poll now
indicates that Summerfield was
right. It states: "It is now doubt
ful whether General Eisenhower
will be able to carry more than
two states in the South . . .
best information available shows
that Eisenhower's popularity
reached its highest during the
period Oct. 1-15."
The two Southern states are
Florida and Virgina. In Florida,
the GOP poll as of Oct. 22
showed Ike 50 per cent; Steven
son 45 per cent; 5 per cent un
decided. The Virginia GOP poll
showed Ike 48 per ent, Steven
son 46 per cent, 6 per cent un
decided. Anti-Dewey sentiment is still
so strong inside the GOP that
when Ike's train, approached
Rochester, N. Y., a GOP dele-
"The Pink Circus," by Gon
zalo Estrada, the first full
length student production of the
current Carolina Playmakers'
season, opened Thursday night
for a two day run. The near
capacity audience was literally
slapped in the face by the in
tensity of this drama.
In a story of a young boy s
realizations that all is not a
bed of roses on the home front,
Mr. Estrada has woven reality
and dreams into a conglamara
tion of lust and pathos. The
leading character, a boy of
seventeen, is exposed to more
in his few years than are most
people in a lifetime. His emot
ional turmoils and Freudian
dreams, are brought home to the
audience, not necessarily by the
production, but by the lines
themselves. In a piece that bears
a great similarity to the style
of John Steinbeck, the author
presents a graphic description of
incest, abortion and matricide,
which goes far below the bounds
of good taste.
The production as a whole is
by far the finest student pro
duction that this reviewer has
ever seen the Playmakers pre
sent. Although a bit heavy
handed with the dramatic, Di
rector John Clayton left little
to be asked for. Dick Epler's
setting was one of the best this
reviewer has seen on the Play
makers' stage. It was a pleasure
to see that full length student
productions are no longer treated
technically 'like orphan child
ren. For the most part nothing
really adverse need be said
about the acting in "Pink Cir
cus." Hal England, as the young
boy Jimmie, gave one good per
formance of which he has a
right to be truly proud. He was
never off stage for more than
a few seconds throughout the
entire evening. England seem
ed to be an honest actor in that
he appeared to be completely
wrapped up in his character,
and he gave the right note of
sincerity that made this play
at all believable.
Some of the highest laurels of
the evening go to Bill Waddell,
as Bush; Nancy Green, Flo
rencia, the mother, and Jane
Kottmeier, as the seductress.
Waddell's moving portrayal
of Jimmie's best friend helped
to carry the play through scenes
that almost bordered on tedium.
Miss Green, well remembered
for her comic role in last year's
production of "Spring for Sure,"
proved herself one of the most
vpT-:qtile actresses that the Play
makers have today. She was
aoiutely convincing as the
main cause of her son's worry.
One could almost feel the weight
of her sins across the footlights.
Jane Kottmeier gave one of the
most surprisingly good perfor
mances of the entire production.
Her excellent stage presence
made it possible for her to have
complete control of the stage
the entire time she was on. Her
part was not an easy one to
play, but she got as much out
of it as the traffic would allow.
As Uncle Carlos, Florencia's
lover, Manly Wellman was very
disappointing. He shouted his
lines and never seemed to fret
off more than one emotional
level.
None of the characters that
were supposed to be Mexican
gave that impression at all.
