eigh.
Duncan Stuart, associate profes
sor of art in the North Carolina

art from the point of view of its

Schreiber Advocates Unified
Western European Defence
A unified Western Europe is the
first essential for the defense of
a free world said Jean-Jacques
Servan Schreiber, French journalist
and last speaker in this year’s col
lege lecture series. In spite of the
heavy rain last Monday evening,
Schreiber had an unusually large
audience.
Mr. Schreiber advocated unity
first through the Schumann plan
and the fusion of all European
armies into one. Then, on a
Carroll Stegall, Jr. To Talk
At Sunday "Y” Vesp ers
Carroll Stegall, Jr.
Carroll R. Stegall, Jr., of Colum
bia Seminary in Atlanta, will speak
at Y vespers at 6:30 p.m. Sunday
night.
Mr. Stegall will illustrate his
talk with chalk drawings, a method
known as “chalk-talk’’. The speak
er learned this artistry by watch
ing the famous artist Phil Saint,
an artist-evangelist who was form
erly an illustrator for the Saturday
Evening Post.
The chalk board is fully equip
ped with colored lights and ultra
violet light, sometimes called “black
light”. Under this effect the stars
and the moon appear to shine on
the picture.
Mr. Stegall is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. C. R. Stegall, of Wil
mington, North Carolina. He was
born in the Belgian Congo, where
his parents were missionaries for
35 years or more.
Returns To U. S.
At the age of 19 he was brought
to the United States to receive
cure for sleeping sickness, a tropi
cal disease of central Africa. Later
he entered the army and served
overseas in Europe. After the war
he finished college at Maryville
College, in Tennessee, and Moody
Bible Institute in Chicago, before
entering Columbia Seminary.
In keeping with Lent and the
Easter story the subject of Mr.
Stegall’s talk will be “On A Hill
Far Away”.
Faculty members and students
are invited to attend the program.
broader scale, he proposed a fresh
view of the rearmament program
with a balance between the mili
tary and the economic aspects.
Conditions which hinder a suc
cessful program he cited as being
elections of conservative govern
ments in Europe,- big businessmen’s
failing to distinguish between so
cialism and communism and the
very effective communist propa
ganda.
If these obstacles are overcome,
the next step should be the intro
duction of American .military in
ventions to Europe and a common
policy in Asia.
Gives Possibilities
He said that war with Russia
will come:
1. If European countries break
down internally and economi
cally.
2. If Russia is attacked.
3. If there is a rebellion in Rus
sia.
Since the first reason is most im
minent, he stressed the importance
of American economic and military
aid and cooperation in rebuilding
a strong Europe with France as
the dominant leader.
The 29-year-old foreign editor of
the Paris Presse, arrived at Salem
from New York City where he had
recently spoken in a forum at a
dinner meeting of the National Re
publican Club.
Lectures In This Country
Since coming to the states four
weeks ago, he has lectured in Ohio,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Massachusetts and New Jersey.
While traveling in this country he
learns as much as possible about
social, economic and split political
conditions and sends stories back
to his paper in Paris.
He expressed particular interest
in the forthcoming presidential
