America Has Responsibility, Allen
Tells United Nations Model Meeting
"We can't
shirk it."
.shake it, we can't
This is what George V. Allen,
director of the United States In
formation Agency, said of Ameri
ca's position in the United Nations.
He said the United States' position
iu the UN is "a responsibility that
we have. It results in our being
involved in a great many questions
around the world that we would
r.ot have to deal with if we were
not in the UN."
Allen said he was not "going to
attack the UN. when 1 am just
a- enthusiastic about is as you
I oj le are." He stated that some
of the people who have been the
jnnvt enthusiastic alwnit the United
Nation "have almost turned
against it."
lit speaking to the Model United

y-r.f so far that some people have
'j.d "Mabe We'd better go baik
to d.plomacy."
Allen, a former assistant secre
tary of state, asserted that people
hae tended to turn against the
United Nations because they "think
that if every problem is thrown
into the public arena of the UN,
the problem will be torn to pieces
and relations between nations Will
! worse than before."
The expert on Near East and
African affairs told the crowd of
about 70 delegates and about the
.sjme number of spectators that by
use ot the policy of "open diplo
macy" nations can arrive at agree
ments. "Hut if you want lo suc
ceed. ou've got to be tough about
it "
Allen asserted that the diplo
tA the United States deals
with "radio, newspapers, pamph
lets, books, printing and other sim
ilar aspects." He stated that the
Voice of America "puts on 300.000
words a day in 31 languages."
In speaking of summit meetings,
Allen said " a summit meeting is
made up of a half dorcn individuals
at the most. And, at present, it
would boil down to only two in
dividuals iTesident Eisenhower
and Russia's Khrushchev."
He stated that Khrushchev is
dealing in two extremes. He Is
making statements on the radio
of letters he has sent to President
Eisenhower before Ike even re
ceives the letters. But on the other
hand. Khrushchev is insisting on
a summit meeting."
Allen explained these two ex
tremes as being "propaganda and
an appeal to the old world type of
diplomacy, which should be 'passe'
in my opinion."
He said the "old school relation
shins between nations have regu
larly ended in wars.
"So why haven't these efforts
succeeded better than they have?"
he asked.
In answering his own question,
Allen Mid that "people in all coun
tries want peace. But if people
everywhere want peace, why don't
their governments give it to them?
"There is not enough interna
tional understanding at the 'grass
roots' level of the people to enable
governments to take action to build
a more orderly world though the
United Nations."
He said the way to achieve this
understanding is through study,
and exchange. of students a
people to people movement."
Allen explained this movement
as one in which people In the
United States "who are interested
in a certain field should get in
touch with people in the same field
in foreign countries."
This would apply a great deal,
Allen asserted, to scientists, who
"are the most international-minded
people In the world."
Allen said that one of the major
psychological factors dealing with
diplomacy is a phobia which con
cerns the hatred of foreigners.
"People fear the unknown," he
said. "And what you (ear you be
gin to hate."

THE END
The editor regrets to inform the
campus that with this issue, his
editorship ceases.
He would like to express his
thanks to the student body for
having let him assume this office
last spring.
Feature Editor
Mary Alice Rowlette was ap
pointed feature editor of The Daily
Tar Heel Tuesday by Editor Curtis
B. Gans.
Miss Rowlette is a junior from
Shelbyville, Ky. She transferred
here from Stephens College in
Columbia, Mo., where she was edi
torial editor of the student newsf
paper.
"I am pleased that Miss Row
lette has accepted this position,"
remarked Gans. "Her fine feature
work throughout the year will no
doubt be of great help in organiz
ing a feature staff for the future. '
appeals concerning the election
laws.
Fuller emphasized that all of
these were important and that the
council heard cases involving all
three this year.
He added that the council also
has the power to review the con
stitutions and by-laws of any stu
dent organization.
In assuming his office, Fuller
commended Jim Long, out-going
chairman. "Jim Long commanded
the respect of all, guided the coun
cil's deliberations with skill and
impartiality."
He also commended the retir
ing members Garrett Folger,
Walt Poole, John Owens, Eric Rop
er, Bob Borden, Don Miller, Mary
Todd Baker, Katie Stewart and Toy
Johnson for their work.
"Student Council is an integral
part of the student judicial sys
tem, and it has a big responsibility.
I am very honored to serve in
this capacity," he said.
Fuller hopes Student Council
will have a chance ' to provide
greater general understanding of
"our functions and procedures,"
and he would like to work with
the Orientation Committee to in
form new students of the council
and the students' responsibility as
Carolina students to conduct them
selves in a gentlemanly mannei
at all times.
He gave high praise to the pre
sent members and said, 'The new
members Neal Boden, John Ray,
Wayne Venters are capable,
qualified young men, and I am an
ticipating that they will realize the
seriousness of their responsibility,
that they will show interest and
dedication in their service."
corner foursquare and fcs knows it."
The budget-oalancing theme,
sounded by Eisenhower and Vice
President Richard M. Nixon yester
day, was echoed by nearly every
speaker today.
These included Sen. Barry Gold
water of Arizona, chairman of the
Senate Republican Campaign Com
mittee; Rep. Richard M. Simpson
of Pennsylvania, head of the House
campaign group, and Sen. Everett
Dirksen of Illinois, the Senate min
ority leader.
Morton, a husky six-foot former
assistant secretary of state, classed
himself as a "micdle of the road
Republican."
He told a news conference he had
said in Charleston. W. Va., seme
time ago he was inclined to sup
port Nixon for the 1900 nomination.
He added that he had come to know
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New
York well when the latter served as
m.der secretary of health, education
and welfare early in the Eisenhower
administration.
As between the two potential rivals
for the 1900 nomination, Morton
said he will be" absolutely neutral.'
"In making the arrangements for
the 1960 convention I will be absol
utely fair to these two men and to
any other aspirants who might come
along," he said.
Morton added that he had been
assured by friends of both men he
was acceptable to them after he
had been asked by Eisenhower late
in March to take ths job Alcorn va
cated to return to private law. practice.
Saying he had supported Eisen
hower's program as much as any
member of Congress, Morton told
the committee members he is con
fident the party is making a come-
bock frairv.it ow fovni in nt Nov
ember's elections.
"The people are getting behind
the policies of the president," he
said. "They are approving them.
And we know we are going lo have
a proven champion carrying our
banner in 1950. There'll be no selling
plr.ters in our barn."
The latter was a reference to
cheap race horses.
Pleading for party unity, Morton
said the Republican candidates in
19G0 are going to have to "run on
the philosophy of the administration."
Henderson Strike: When Will If End
Gym Fire Extinguished
By Chapel Hill Firemen
Woollen Gym almost became the halls with smoke and brought the
hottest sports center in this area
about 1:30 a.m. Saturday.
A short-circuit in a refrigerator in
a basement storage room of the
spacious gymnasium caused a fire

The damage to the room was
slight, as only some paint
burned off the wall, some fencing
sabers were scorched and, of course,
the water on the floor.
The refrigerator was carted out
of the room after the fire had been
extinguished. It was taken outside
by way of the gym elevator.
Firemen then completely squelched
the remaining fire in the refrigera
tor, which only contained a few
quarts of milk.
Some night workers happened to
smell the smoke, or, as one of them
put it, "The whole place might've
burned."
The workers called the fire de

save the gym.
By MARY ALICE ROWLETTE
The following is the sixth in a
series on the Henderson strike
compiled by Ron Shumate, Mary
Alice Rowlette, and Peter Ness.)
"When will it end?"
That's what people all over the
state are asking as the Harriet
Henderson Cotton Mill strike goes
into its 23rd week with no hope of
settlement in sight.
However, it can be safely as
sumed that it will end sometime.
This may take many more weeks
no one knows but regardless of
how long it takes for mill and union
officials to come to a decision, the
effects of the strike will go on for
years.
There will be more by-products
of this strike than a settlement.
One of the more obvious will be
unemployment. If the mills should
shut down approximately 10 per cent
of the city's population will be with
ou jobs.
These people know no other kind
of work and it is certain that no
other cotton mill in the state will be
willing to employ them.
If the mill returns to normal pro
duction some of the strikers will
have had their jobs filled by strike
breakers.
to help workers make payments on
furniture and appliances bought "on
the easy payment plan."
Ordinarily, the downtown stores
would repossess unpaid-for mer
chandise, but, because of the mob
spirit that blankets the city, they
are afraid to do this.
Likely as not, the strikers would
destroy the furniture that a store
threatened to repossess.
The merchants just aren't willing
to risk it right now but they will
when the strike is over.
All of these things, however, will
be solved, although it is nearly im
porsible to see how and it is obvious
that it will take a long time for the
strikers to get "back to normalcy"
financially.
However, there are ether, less
tangible, by-products of the strike
that will probably live as long as
this generation lives.
It is highly probable that the rate
of juvenile delinqency in Henderson
will rise appreciably in the next few
years.
Young children stand on the side

shake their fist at them and call
them names that the children don't

Some of the signs on the picket
lines have carried such slogans as
"Jsus leads us, The Union Feeds us,
aiid John D. Needs us" What sort
cf let down will it be for these peo
ple when the union packs its collec
tive bags and leaves them to strug
gle out of the mud of hate and bit
terness and financial strife?
Social standing and respect of the
community is another value the mill
workers will lose. Approximately 30
years ago the workers were known
as "lint heads" to the rest of the
population.
Their children attended separate
schools and they worshiped at dif
ferent churches. They still live in
their own mill villages.
Gradually, however, the mill work-
But now they have lost most of the
respect of the rest of the city and
arc regressing to where they were
30 years ago.
A pretty little high school girl
seemed to accurately sum up the
feeling of the rest of the city toward
the strikers as she watched a mob
in front of the police station. "Oh,
they disgust me," she said.
Is it going to take another 30
years for the strikers to regain the
status they had 22 weeks ago?
The strike will end. In a relative
ly short time there will be no more
picket lines, no more rock throwing
riots, no more dynamite blasts.
But a strike produces more, much
more, than pickets, riots and blasts.

Those who may be lucky enough
to get their jobs back will lose their

All this will greatly multiply the
