PAGE TWO Bond Drive Begins Today ; Do The campus-wide drive for University sup port of the nationwide war bond drive begins today. We are going to say little 'more until the trend of the drive becomes evident. At present, however, we have a confident feeling that the campus realizes its obligation to the government and will invest as much money as possible in bonds and stamps, not Small World Goebbels Machine In Causing By Harvey Segal "The rupture between Soviet Russia and the exiled Polish government is a disturbing setback for the United Nations. It must be registered as an undeniable success for Doctor Goeb bels' propaganda machine." Glenn Babb-Associated Press News Analyist on April 27. .Frequent radio announcements have already made most Americans aware otthe fact that relations between the Soviet Union and the Polish govern ment in exile have reached a crisis. From both the immedi ate and long-range prospec tive, the affair is of the ut most importance. And from the standpoint of diplomatic curiosities the whole incident, in origin and implication stands in a class quite by it self. Not so many weeks ago the Goebbels machine in the Wil helmstrasse ground out one of its usual propaganda tales. In essence it concerned the find ing of a huge common grave at Katyn, near Smolensk, con taining the remains of 10,000 Polish officers. And to these gory details was added the "fact" that these officers were killed by Soviet GPU men, all of whom were named by Goebbels and as might be expected, were given typically Jewish names. The OWI and British Broad casting monitors all must have picked up this story and treated it with the usual and condign incredulity. But the Polish government saw fit to do otherwise. Treating the Goebbels report as the gospel truth, General Sikorski pro tested to Foreign Commissar V. J. Molotov, demanding an answer to an accusation from the Wilhelmstrasse. The Soviet government an swered with an acrid note, criticizing the Polish-government-in-exile for its use of Nazi propaganda to disrupt the unity of the United Na tions. Pointing to the fact the Red Army has not been at Smolensk for nearly two years, the Soviets answered that if any Polish officers were murdered the guilt lay with the Nazis. They flatly refused to make any further investigations into the mat ter. Meanwhile, seeing that the story had taken root, the Ger man radio began to hammer incessantly, pounding away at OLDEST COLLEGE DAILY IN THE SOUTH The official newspaper of the "Carolina Publications Union of the Univer sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where it is printed daily except Mondays, and the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Holidays.

We hope that confidence is justified, that we do not have to enumerate the reasons necessi tating the purchase of war bonds, nor do we want to be forced to use any sort of prodding or needling to get the campus to invest. You well know why you should purchase bonds and stamps. DO SO TODAY. ay R ussian, Polish the Soviets all for Polish consumption. And the Polish government then went a step further and requested the in tervention of the Internation al Red Cross. At this point the Soviets merely suspended (reports that relations have broken off were false) rela tions with the Polish govern ment in London, leaving ample possibility for conciliation. . Relations will make their cru cial turn for better or worse when the Polish government makes its scheduled reply to day. Obviously there is more to this incident than a bit of grist from the Nazi lie-mill. It may be pointed out that Czech armies have been fight ing on Soviet soil for two years without the slightest bit of friction. Why, many readers are asking, should the Polish, government in London make such an issue over a Berlin report? ) The only plausible and gen erally acceptable answer is that there is more to this inci dent than the 10,000 corpses reputed to be rotting at Ka tyn. The origin of the affair must be traced back some 20 or more years ago to the time of the Russian revolution. After the revolution and the seizure of power by the So viets, there followed a period of intervention. Twenty-six nations, including the United States took part in this inter national foray. Prominent among the invaders was Po land, recently granted free dom by the nascent Soviet government. Poland was dis satisfied with their eastern boundary set by the British Lord Curzon, and known as the Curzon Line. In 1921, under the young Marshall Pilsudski, they at tacked the Soviet Union. The war f luctated back and forth ; at one time the Red Army stood at the gates of Warsaw, FOR NATIONAL ADVERTISINa BY National Advertising Service, Inc.

Not wishing to wage war any longer the So viets agreed to a diktat treaty in Warsaw (1922), giving Po land a huge section Byelo, White, and Ukrainian Russia. At this time the British foreign office protested this seizure. And it is interesting to note that in 1939, when the Red Army marched into Po land, the British Foreign of fice recognized the fact that the Red . Army marched no further than the old Curzon line. Neither Britain nor the United States had ever for mally recognized Pilsudski's acquisition. (To be Concluded in Thurs day's Tar Heel) Women By Kat Hill and Sara Yokley During the short intermis sion between spring rains Easter came. And Easter went. Coeds, imports and Hel en O'Connell mixed Easter bonnets, splashy prints, bot tled stockings. The annual pa rade started with the sunrise service in the arboretum, con tinued in steady streams throughout the day. The min ister at one of the local church es, all of which were filled and overflowing, took the oppor tunity to wish his throng a happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. Just in case. Another sure sign of the ar rival of spring is the increase in the number of beds occu pied in the far off measles ward of the infirmary. Emily Pa trick insists upon recuperat ing in pink pajamas. Seems they match the splotches on her face. THE FEMININE TOUCH: Gremlins predominate the cam pus these days. Leo Winter reigns as king. And King Leo comes forth with a name for female gremlins Fifinellas. Ask yourself, have you ever seen a gremlin, or a fifinella, in a bathing suit? . Then there's the case of the beautiful blonde on campus who was invited to a "p.j." party. Would she come ? "I'd love to," was the enthusiastic reply. "I love pajama parties !" And the number of girls who received, instead of the traditional flowers or candy last Sunday, blue fuzzy bunny rabbits ! THINGS WE ARE LOOK ING FORWARD TO: But soon.

A recent issue of Time names Bricker as the only man of those prominently men tioned as Presidential timber .who can lay claim to all of the magazines' "Ten Command ments of How to Become Presi dent." Can it be Luce desires a l tool for his hemispheric na tionalism ? Bricker has been compared to.f ormer President Harding; and rightly. The progress of the war will naturally flavor to a large ex tent the outcome of .the na tional primaries, still over a year away. In the South, as in other regions, there is express ed antipathy towards a fourth term. Yet the Democratic par ty is not too rich with other capable material. And in the Republican party there is the split between the Willkie-Stas-sen progressive element and the Bricker-Taft "return to normalcy" camp. The 1944 election, at this point, bids well to becoming a wide-open strug gle.

Adler charges that I misrepresented the facts in the cut lines of a picture which accompanied a story I wrote on the his tory of the Magazine, and which was printed in last Sun day's editions of the Greens boro Daily News and the Dur ham Herald-Sun. He lays particular stress on my reference to Leo Winter as "office boy," to the fact that I did not mention Katharine Hill's name, to my personal list as "editor-elect," and to my mention of him as "literary ed itor." As to Winter: He was ask ed not once but twice to step out of the range of the camera when the picture was made, but he insisted on being included. When I wrote the cutlines, it was necessary that I give some reason for Win ter's being in the picture, to af fix some title to his name. As his duties around the mag of fice have consisted chiefly of. mixing glue, trimming copy pencils, clipping galley proofs, and chasing out to the coke ma chine, I could think of no title more fitting than that of "of fice boy." . Adler, I feel sure, will rise in a bloody rage to challenge this point, to boldly assert that he appointed Winter a temporary member of the editorial board. Which, it goes without saying, is absurd. I certainly did not feel that readers of the State papers should be led to believe that a freshman, sans literary experience or .knowledge, was BOUQUETS OF VIOLETS TO : Mrs. "Dean" Bradshaw for personifying our definition of the Hill's most charming lady. . . .

As to my omission of Miss Hill's name: This point is so dumb that I hesitate to present a defense. I don't know where Adler learned his journalism, or if he ever has, but I have always been told that the cut lines of a picture should deal with the subject of the said picture. I have a high regard for Miss Hill and am aware of her assiduous application to the Carolina Magazine. But the fact that she was not in the picture is, I believe, ample reason why she should not be mentioned in the cutlines. As to my personal mention as "editor-elect." Whether Ad ler likes it or not (and I rather doubt that he does), the stu dents saw fit to elect me edi tor of the Magazine. I am now editor-elect, and it is a title which I will retain until the an niversary issue is distributed and I assume the office of full editor. The fact that I was ap pointed by outgoing editor Sylvan Meyer to serve as man aging editor of the anniversary issue did not alter my status sis editor-elect. I might have listed myself in the cutlines as "H. C. Cranford, humor writer of the pre-elections Carolina Magazine, managing editor of the 100th anniversary edition of the Carolina Magazine, and editor-elect of the 1943-44 Carolina Magazine," but I be lieve that even Adler will ad mit that such an arrangement would have been awkward, to say nothing of confusing to readers of the State papers. As to mention of Adler as "literary editor:" Adler was put down as literary editor be cause he is literary editor. Here again I might have given his present and temporary title as co-editor of the anni versary issue, but such a men tion would not have been in WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1943 mwmmmmmm iiiiniiiiiinn bib keeping with the harmony of the lines, designed to introduce the readers with the students in the picture, in the least-confusing manner possible. Since Adler is such a stickler for accuracy, I think it should be pointed out that he is not THE editor of the anniversary issue, as the manner in which he signed his glowing piece in yesterday's Tar Heel would lead one to believe. Rather he is co-editor along with Ben McKinnon. The mast head of the anniversary issue will also list Adler under the heading of editor, not co-editor as it should be. Adler himself typed the mast head copy and is re sponsible for his self -elevation. Adler says that I have "sore ly neglected" my duties as managing editor of the anni versary issue. Unlike the tem peramental New Yorker, I dis like to make personal public mention of my contributions to the magazine, or to any oth er cause. However, as I have no al ternative but to defend myself, I would like to remind the fiery one that I wrote the lead article in the anniversary issue, that being the history of the Caro lina Magazine since its debut in 1844.
