Miss 'Rand's story is about a man who decided to stop the motor of the world by taking from it all the indivi duals who had minds and used them. One by one, he urges the minds" to go 011 strike against the "looters." 1 those who live off of the efforts of their superiors', c- Among the strikers are: a wom an who runs a transcontinental railroad, a concert pianist who dis appears on his greatest ni-jht. a playboy who owns most of the world s supply of copper, a philo sopher who got tired of teaching that reason and logic still rule to blank faces and deaf ears, and a steiil industrialist who l.! as in entod a new alloy tovghcr than steel. After t ho strike of the "minds." 1 the "looters" are left free to make a mess of their government and industry in no time short. They soon go begging for the ' "minds" to return and clean up their mess. The book is a definite protest against today's increasing burea cracy. dwindling personal liberty, declining capitalism, and the over praised welfare state. Miss Rand shows what could happen. ATLAS SHRUGGED has a very important message for college stu dents. In a time of increasing em phasis on llie importance of emo tions and "subconseious desires" and "conditioning." Miss Rand"s philosophy tlcm;.nds the return of nvison and self-disripline and achi evement. The sollics -who cry, " can't help it!" and "You owe me scant-thing because I need it!" As Philii: Reardcn did. are not tol erated one minute by the men with minds. such as Hank Reardcn, s eel magnate. A book like this was needed to aii-wcr those who are multiplying their non-absohiie ideas on college campuses: the ideas that nothing makes ser.se, li.'it we must feel, r.ot (l ink, lii, it we must accept and ei-t Many days after reading ATLAS SHRUGGED, the reader will find hiiisetl looking for. and wishing Irr p'Tlups. a .lo'.ai Gait. To these readers the author addresses the lollowang postscript at the end of her novel : "I trust that no one will tell me that men such as I write about don't exist. That this book has been written . and published - is my proof that they do." VIEW FROM THE HILL: Man Recovered; Democracy Lost By CURTIS GANS Russia, according to Moscow re ports, launched a human 180 miles into space and recovered him suc cessfully. The height of Sputnik 1 was between 100 anil 500 mites in space. The chances for the Russians to have a man in i satel lite before the year's end appear excellent. The chances for the an nihilation or surrender of the U. S. within two years are quite' good. If there is at this time any hope for peace in the world and hope for freedom from any tyranny of the individuals, it rests on the assumption that the countries espousing democracy can keep the l.SS.It., from being able to at tack without fear of retaliation. The day is rapidly approaching when the Russians can lie sure that they can devastate the U. S. before U. S. has a chance to retal iate. At the present time a missile with atomic warhead can negotiate the distance between the U. S. and Russia in less than twenty minu tes. This missile guided from a satellite in orbit could achieve deadly accuracy, for errors due to the curvature of the earth would be all but eliminated. This must be contrasted with the U. S. failure to put up even a six inch satellite, and what is more important the U. S. failure to moke a satisfactory satellite vehicle.. It must also be contrast ed against the fact that the one successful U. S. attempt to fire an Intercontinental Ballistics Missile was done only at laboratory range of 500 miles. The net impression is quite grim, and a grimmer since Presi dent Eisenhower saw fit to add only one or two billion dollars to the defense budget of 1958, and proudly proclaimed that his bud get would be balanced with maybe a surplus and with no increase in taxation. If there was ever a time for Urgency the time is now, before the Russians are able to overrun the world. Even Great Britain prior to World War II drew the line when Hitler attacked Poland. The recent Afro-Asian confer ence's criticism of the U. S. and British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan's cries for a neutrality and disarmament treaty with the Soviet Union is no small indica tion of the waning influence of the U. S. in the world. The latest Russian success will do little to enhance the U. S. reputation with the world-at-large. It might draw certain nations on the U. S. side in the battle for a free world to neutrality or the Russian side for fear of the retal iatory power of the Soviet Union. The doors to freedom are rapid ly being drawn shut, they being drawn shut by a people willing to sacrifice some or their standard of living for their national integri ty and for a high place in the world. Surely, the U. S. in order to preserve democracy must be willing to give equally or more to this cause. The time for sacrifice is now, Jan. 7. 1953. The time for a crash program in science, technology, wise foreign policy, and overall education is the present. No amount of soothsaying will destroy Russian dominance of the world. The need is for dollars and action. Democracy is fighting for its life. If policy does not change radically and soon, it is going to lose, and the freedom of any in dividual in the world will be an other myth of the past.

That page-is a farce However, you should include pictures of your cohorts Lowenstein and Crowther. That would make the comic section complete. I am aware of the fact that you are not going to take a definite stand on controversial matters because you may jeopardize your job, but must we contend with the gibbering on page two? You have discussed Fraternities, of which, only about 15 of the Student Body belong, you over worked "Judith", (You wasted time and space. On ly' two hundred people, a capacity crowd in Roland Parker Lounge, could have seen the play.) you gal lantly defended a "poor, humilated Negro school gM ' in Charlotte, while on page one you ran the head "NEGRO Rapes Coaches' Wife." Come now, Mr. Eisele, are you torn between two loyailties? You haye elaborated on foreign affairs. You seem to be well versed in the problems of our Na tion and its diplomacy. We have State papers to keep us informed on World events. What we need is a campus newspaper. You give up editorial after editorial on the dis cussion of a comic-strip character, "Peanuts", and . on occasion he's front page news. I find the strip amusing but Charley Brown requires no hero worship .... And you, and those backing you. labeled Neil Bass "immature" and "incompetent"! If it were incompetence, it was a grievous fault, and grievously has Bass answered it. The Daily Tar Heel has lost its color-. . . its punch. There is nothing to cause disagreement. A former student, in a Greensboro news article, called the DTH a "paper doily". These doilies litter the floors of the dormitories. These "daily doilies" are collected each day by the janitors and destroyed. They should be saved. There may be a stortage of paper someday. While stacks of DTH's lie on the floor unnoticed, and while you are busy "revamping", others, like myself, are searching for a capable editor .... Pass the petition, I'll sign. Disrespectfully yours. CHUCK CHAMBERS THE NEW REPUBLIC Ask Me No Questions - Paris, Dec. 18, 1937 The Atlantic alliance reached limited accord in principle tonight on the arming of West Europe with nuclear missiles . . . The Neve York Times Question: Is it your position, sir, that there should be an agreement in principle on missile bases at the NATO meeting? Dulles: No. I would not think so. I don't favor a great deal of these so-called "agreements in principle." I remember that my first important diplomatic experience was at the Paris peace conference of 1919. We largely used the French language and at that time whenever I was told that a proposition was accepted en principe I always felt discouraged because I knew it would probably never get anywhere. Press Conference, Dec. 10. 1957 Mr. Dulles is a disaster. -Old Proverb Tea And Symptomy By FRANK CROWTHER I think that the time has come for me to pay a visit to Dr. Rhyne and his menagerie of mystics. My jungle has been sending out strange messages con cerning things to come. Last Saturday, for some ridiculous reason, I be gan thinking about the origin and meaning of several almost proverbial or cliched phrases. One that remained with me throughout the entire day was "dead as a door-nail." Now why being dead as a door-nail happens to have been so enticing, 1 don't know; in fact, it seemed that the more I thought of the phrase, the more absurd it appeared to be. Saturday evening, I was in bed reading Cozzens' By Love Possessed (yes, there are those who some times stay in and read Saturday nights . . .O.K.. so I was sick!) when out of nowhere came a thought about Albert Camus. 1 also had a dream that night that I was sitting in the warm summer sun reading a new book of criticism concerning Camus. Sunday afternoon, after having a pleasantly late breakfast at Danziger's restaurant, I went back to the room to ramble through the Sunday New York Times. Two things in the book review section rather astonished me. J. Donald Adams, who writes the very competent "Speaking of Bocks" column, led off with a lengthv discmmcn of the origin of the old .saying "dead as a door-nail." This precipitated a bit of head-scratching, but page 13 of the same section stopped me quite cold. There, taking up the whole page, was an advertrzement of a new book of criticism on the works of Albert Camus by the French critic, Albert Maquet. The title of the book was Albert Camus: The Invincible Summer. New my brother doesn't talk to horses and I'm t T1$un0 gyPSy bl00d in m mediate family but if that happens again, I think I'll head for Las Vegas and wait for the spirits to move me . .nnn hquid spirits, that is.
