A middle course has to be steer
ed in allowing freedom of speech
among subordinate members of or
ganizations a factory, the Army,
the State Department, a church
Dr. Zechariah Chafee Jr. said here
last night.
"Although forcing men to say too
little is a mistake, some subordin
ates talk too much," he safa.
"Their views are trivial, or they
go on asserting them pertinanious
ly after they have been rejected.
Yet there is always the possibility
that the views which are rejected
are much more useful to the en
terprise than the views of the sup
erior official who did .the reject
ing." Dr. Chafee, a member of the Har
vard Law School faculty since 1919,
delivered in Memorial Hall the sec
ond in the series of three annual
Weil Lectures at the University.
With "Freedom in Special Situa
tions" as his general theme, Dr.
Chafee, who was introduced by
Dean Henry P. Brandis Jr. of the
Law School, took freedom of
speech in organizations, under the
specific title, "The Ship," as his
subject last night. Tuesday night he
discussed freedom of speech in ed
ucation. He will conclude the lec
tures tonight at 8:30 with a dis
cussion of freedom in the time of
crises, entitled "The Beleaguered
ed City."
Dr. Chafee was guest of honor
at luncheon at the Carolina Inn yes
terday, given by the Committee on
Established Lectures of which Dr.
Alexander P. Heard is chairman.
Dr. Chafee said that "internally,
the power to make decisions has
to be concentrated. Considerable
despotism is inevitable in any-enterprise.
Yet sound decisions em
erge from discussion from infor
mation about facts and from opin
ions expressed by men in close con
tact with facts. Though subordinates
cannot decide, they may often be
allowed to persuade . . . How far
should they be able to express
views of facts and policies which
differ from the views of their su
periors?" To illustrate, Dr. Chafee told a
story of a passenger on a ship who
told the captain about a submerged
rock ahead. The captain denied it.
When the passenger insisted, the
captain had him thrown into the
sea. Soon afterward the vessel hit
the rock.
"The attitude of superiors to
ward what their subordinates say
can increase or decrease the value
of cooperation," he declared.
"Moreover, it has marked effect
upon the esprit do corps upon the
happiness with which subordinates
do their work . . . On the other
hand, the possibility that the ex
pression of unpopular views will
be punished by lack of promotion,
assignment to disagreeable tasks,
or dismissal makes many subordin
ates silent and sullen."
Dr. Chafee said the external
problem involves a contest be
tween "truth inside the enterprise
and truth outside. Complete frank
ness inside is essential to efficien
cy, but compulsory disclosure to
outsiders may interfere with frank
ness, especially if the subordinate
fears that he will be penalized years
later by saying what the outsiders
will dislike." '

Hill author, will be guest speaker at
a Bull's Head Bookshop tea to be
held in the Assembly-Exhibition

Socialism
Here To
By Jim Wilkinson
Socialism has done1 much for
the ills of Great Britain, accord
ing to a prominent church figure
of that country, and is pretty
much "here to stay."
That's the opinion of Chancel
lor T. R. Milford, a visitor here
as a lecturer for the Department
of Religion and the Inter-Faith
Council. One of four Canons. on
the staff of ancient Lincoln
Cathedral in England, he is also
titular guardian of the Magna
Carta.
In an interview, Chancellor
Milford voiced approval of many
of the changes which Socialism
has brought to England. The aver
age wage earner in Britain today
is better off than before the war.

For S
ion
By Louis Kraar
Student Legislature convenes
tonight at 7:30 in Phi Hall with
virtually the entire Student Par
ty's fall platform up for discus
sion. Seven bills were introduced
by SP legislators last week in the
opening session which corres
pond to planks in the party plat
form. The bills move to:
1. Establish a committee to in
vestigate possibilities of open
quiz files.
2. Look into a more liberal
class cut policy.
3. Amend the general elections
law to make candidates include
samples of cigarettes, candy, etc.
in their expense accounts.
4. Revise the selection of can
didates for the Student Council.
5. Soundproof dormitories "at
the earliest possible moment."
6. Get better communications
facilities in' dormitories.
7. Appoint a committee to look
into having coed visiting hours
Sicilian Elected
In elections held last week by
the Card Board, Bob Skillan was
elected president succeeding
Jim Stegall. -
Other election results were
Bob Bell, chief usher; Lib Sud
dreth, secretary; Laura Holo
man, chief of the artist staff and
Carl Gregory, chief of the office
staff.
LATE REGISTRATION
The dean of students office add
ed to its accomplishments yester
day., morning when Fran Weaver,
wife of Dean Fred Weaver, gave
birth to a daughter, Elizabeth Gail
(6 lbs., 11 ozs.) at Memorial Hos
pital here. Mrs. Weaver is a former
Carolina coed. The daughter is their
first child. Just last week, Mrs
Roy Holsten, wife of the assistant
-dean of students, gave birth to a
son.
Construction
Drafts Due,
Fraternity and sorority presi
dents should turn in their approved
remodeling plans to the dean of
students office by tomorrow, Roy
Holsten said yesterday.
P. L. Burch, Chapel Hill build
ing inspector, must agree that the
plans fulfill the state's require
ments for removal of fire hazards.
Holsten said five construction
companies will be asked to submit
bids for the collective job of in
stalling fire escapes in the fratern
ity and sorority houses.
Working In England,
Stay, Milford Thinks
he maintained, and pointed to
the number of new television an
tennas on rooftops as an indica
tion. But the Chancellor had far
more concrete evidence for his
belief. Despite continued ration
ing and scarcities, he said, the
lower working classes have bene
fitted greatly from programs like
the health plan, aid to education
and nationalization of certain in
dustries such as the mines and
railroads.
To a large extent, he affirmed,
"Socialism is here to stay." He
does not believe that the Church
ill government will be able to
push back the inroads of social
ism made under the Labor Party.
And, he continued, the Conserva
mm Socio! Koosms
T
for social rooms in men's dormi
tories. The new chairmen of the stand
ing committees, which were se
lected last week, are expected to
appoint committee members.
New committee chairmen are
Jack Stilwell (UP), Ways 'and
Means; Bill Acker (SP), Finance;
Wade Matthews (SP-UP), Rules;
Jane Kottmeier (SP), Coed Af
fairs; and Al Baylor (SP), Ar
chives. Although SP has a working
majority, the key post of chair
man of the Ways and Means
committee went to a UP legisla
tor, Stilwell. Consensus among
politicians was that neither party
would completely dominate leg
islative action because of the
election of Stilwell to this po
sition. .
All bills which do not specific
ally fall into the catagories of
any of the other committees are
given to the Ways and Means
committee. In practice, most bills
go through this committee.
Sheps Named
To Beth Israel
Hospital Post
Dr. Cecil G. Sheps, director of
program planning and research pro
fessor of health planning in the
Division of Health Affairs in the
University, has been appointed exe
cutive director of Beth Israel Hos
pital in Boston.
Beth Israel Hospital is one of
Boston's leading teaching hospitals
and is associated with Harvard
University and Tufts Medical Col
lege. Dr. Sheps will remain in his po
sition here until next summer and
take up his duties in Boston in
September.
Dr. Sheps came to the University
six years ago as a member of the"
School of Public Health faculty
and was named the first director
of Program Planning, a part of
the Division of Health Affairs,
which was begun a year ago to
speed the extension of services
from the Division to the people of j
the State.
His work in promoting the Pro
gram, Planning project has now
been established and will continue
under a new director to be selected
later in the year.
The initiation of the project here
was made possible by a grant from
the Rockefeller Foundation to the
University to sponsor a planning
staff for the Division of Health Af
fairs. It forms one arm of the ad
ministrative offices of the Division
and works with the Division Ad
ministrator, Dr. Henry T. Clark Jr.,
and the various health deans.
tives are apparently coming to
the same conclusion since their
campaign promises to de-nationalize
certain industries has come
to naught after more than a year
in power. To erase these meas
ures, he averred, "would be
wrecking a system that has just
begun to work."
Why then was the Labor Party
turned out? For much the same
reason the U. S. had a party
switch, he opined "It was time
for a change."
A very complex tax system has
been formulized in England, the
Chancellor explained, to distri
bute the wealth more evenly and
equalize opportunity among all
classes. It is similar to the U. S.

New Setup
May Begin
This Weekend
Connor Dormitory for male grad
uate students will soon have the
privilege of unchaperoned women
visitors in the social rooms three
days a week.
Connor President Earl Diamond,
who has led a committee towards
the gaining of visiting privileges,
said yesterday it appears likely that
the first women guests will be
entertained this weekend. Open
house has been tentatively set for
Sunday afternoon.
The right of visiting privileges
for coeds in men's dormitories has
been fought for over the years.
In nearly every year's Legislature
there is a bill asking for the privi
leges and nearly every year one
of the campus political parties puts
such an idea into its platform.
Visiting privileges for the gradu
ate dormitory were granted con
ditionally by the dean of students
office. Connor agreed to obtain
four faculty members and their
wives to serve as a visiting com
mittee. As of yesterday afternoon
the committee was but one mem
ber short of the requirement. Dia
mond said.
The visiting committee will serve
an advisory function, suggesting en
tertainment ideas and social room
improvements. Its presence will not
be required at parties and dances,
however.
Visiting will be permitted on Fri
days (8 to 12 p.m.), Saturdays
(2 to 12), and Sundays (2 to 7).
"Connor ought to be compliment
ed for the work it has done in im
proving social facilities," Assistant
Dean of Students Roy Holsten said.
He added, "This is not a test
case to see how well the dormitor
ies in general can handle visiting
privileges. It is based on the gradu
ate students' needs and their ma
ture fulfillment of other obvious
qualifications."
Manning Muntzing (SP) Thursday
night introduced a bill to have the
Student Legislature appoint a com
mittee to "negotiate with the dean
of women and the dean of students
for coed visiting hours in the social
rooms of men's dormitories.
Auto Owners
Reminded To
Get New lags
RALEIGH, Jan. 21 (Special)
Sales of ney license tags continue
to lage with little more than one
week to go before 1952 plates be
come invalid, the State Department
of Motor Vehicles said today.
News of the puzzling decline of
new tag sales had Motor Vehicles
Commissioner L. R. Fisher worried.
He reminded Tar Heel auto and
truck owners that long .waiting
lines would be the inevitable re
sult unless sales picked up rapidly.
From the Registration Division,
Director Foy Ingram said through
January 12 only 505,892 new tags
had been issued. This compares
with 535,699 sold through the same
date last year.
In the Raleigh area Fisher re
minded motorists that the Motor
Vehicles office will be closed Sat
urday, Jan. 31, as are all state of
fices. Thus Friday, Jan. 30 will be
the last day new tags may be se
cured from the Raleigh office.
(See NEW TAGS, page 2)
