V a 1 i - y 1 1. 1 4 1 , a f I s I II if ll s End of the Line Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Lion soon may have no rival. For the famed, and infamous, Line clan on this campus soon will be -well nigh extinct. And it is with pardonable pride that the Daily Tar Heel pats its own, back for this approaching Great Day. Perhaps the student body will forgive us for this arm breaking undertaking. Since our failings invariably are brought to our attention and for this we are pleased so we may cor rect our errors we feel that we are entitled to ladle editorial praise upon ourselves when it is due. But the truth of the matter is -that .as a result of a recent DTH editorial suggesting the issuance of books as soon as vet erans have their class cards, the Booketeria is investigating the plan with the intent of adopting it as soon as one major obstacle is eliminated. Only difficulty now facing the officials is the question of how to insure the return of books by students who may receive class cards and then, for some unforseen reason, be unable to return to school. . Again the Daily Tar Heel offers suggestions' for eliminating this problem. In fact, alternate plans may be considered by Booketeria officials. If the officials wish to operate on a basis of faith, each vet eran may be required to sign a statement upon receiving his books stating that he will return the volumes in the mail if he" does not return. Should this plan seem unbusinesslike to the Booketeria, there should be no objection to having the veterans who draw books prior to the beginning of a quarter leave a deposit covering costs of the books, this deposit to be returned to the veteran upon his return to school. Naturally he would receive a receipt upon making the deposit and return it . when he received his money back after returning to school. The first of these plans definitely would be based on good faith between the Booketeria and the veterans. While it may not be a sound business plan, there would seem to be no reason for its failure to work adequately. The second of these plans would entail more work, red tape that is, for veterans and the Booketeria. But it would be spread out over a long period of time. In fact, the veteran could get his money returned at any propitious time after a new quarter begins. Frankly, the Daily Tar Heel heartily advocates the first plan. The second is merely suggested as an alternative should the Booketeria officials dislike the first. H. R. Ritchie said Thursday night at the University Veterans association meeting that this is the only obstacle to the plan of issuing books in the quarter prior to that for which the books will be needed. If this is true, then it, too, is now eliminated. Only one line will be left. And everyone has to eat. Worthy of Thought Students going through the registration line last week were all issued pamphlets entitled "A Special Class in Christian Be lief." Nine out of every 10 pamphlets were discarded by the students almost immediately even before they were read. Certainly, the student body is not so well-versed in the ele ments of Christian faith that its members can afford to treat the subject so lightly. The special class starts tomorrow night at seven o'clock in Gerrard hall. It will be held every Monday evening thereafter 'and will be conducted by Frank W. Hanft of the University law school. The class will be conducted with special attention to the deep seated religious doubts characteristic of college students. Dis cussion will be aimed to answer questions pertaining to the vali dity of the Christian belief. Those interested in the matter are invited to attend, but the class will be of still more value to those whose attitude toward re ligion is one of indifference. One hour of your time a week might turn the indifference into understanding. World Affairs . . . .

FOR THIS ISSUE: Night Editor: Bookie Jabine By Manny Margolis History has predestined the so called "Truman Doctrine" to failure. Whether or not the policy eventuates in cataclysmic failure which quick sands half the globe in its wake, the outcome remains the same. The policy is doomed to futility. Why so? Why can't this Truman esque mosaic hold together ? History provides the answer, namely, that you cannot successfully combat a socio economic idea or ideology such as communism with the dollar and the sword. You can only combat it with bread and with a BETTER- idea. No people can be bought. No thought or belief can be "outlawed." The former must be fed and granted the basic human freedoms. The lat ter must be challenged in the dynamic of social change. . This nation is still licking its wounds from the recent mammoth world ' srtuggle against Fascism. Numerous veterans still bleed, limp, or are "war-fatigued." It is a time: as a great American President ex pressed it 83 years ago, "to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle . . . to do all which may achieve a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations." It is at such a time that our po litical time-server in the White House has decided to undertake his crusade against communism at home and abroad. He is flirting with want and war. lie is ushering in what Henry Wallace has aptly termed "a century of fear.". What the ill-named and ill-fated Truman Doctrine boils down to is this: we stand committed to inter vene in the internal affairs of any nation, small or large, which is in danger of moving "to the left" andor capable of being communist-dominated. A big oraer? An impossible one, more likely. It is a WORLD ORDER, American brand. Today it is Greece and Turkey. Newsweek Magazine promises Spain is next. Dean Ache son has placed Korea on the list. Add to them Portugal, China, Argentina, and the puppet nations of the Near and Middle East. This doctrine can do nothing but make an utter mockery of democracy. It can only undermine our position as a spokesman of free peoples. For it is a notorious fact that neither Greece nor Turkey are free nations in any sense, ana to taiK 01 "preserving ae Cos.

Sectionalism's Ugly Spectre Again Rears Its Shaggy Head By Earl Heffner Philosophy is too weighty a term to describe the infantile mental wander ings of a University student who exposed his kindergarten brain last Thurs day night when members of the University Veterans association and South Building officials were seeking an understanding on problems of registration and of operations of the Booketeria. This student to go unnamed herein ; with a masterful intellectual stroke exposed the crux of " difficulties being faced with the stupid allegation that "too many Yankees have been admit ted to the school." Further, stated the neophyte genius, these Yankees didn't have any good Northern schools to attend so they came down here. And now, with their radicalism, they are trying to ruin this school. Sectionalism ! Crass sectionalism. And this from a veteran who has forgotten that thousands of his buddies died because a few power drunk little men held similar small ideas. Super race. Selfishness. Narrow-minded bigotry. Perhaps this is indicative of the con servative trend being observed by many people that is springing into life throughout these United States. Now, at a time when super weapons have narrowed the world into a tight little ball, when peace through inter- Art Story ....

Clayton has candidly admitted that 250 millions of the proposed 400 million dollar loan will be channelled to the mili tary forces of Greece and Turkey as a "prerequisite" to domestic needs. He conceded still further that 44 per cent of the Turkish Government's present budget is being spent on its military forces. John Sophianopoulis, Greek For eign Minister following the Greek liberation, stated on March 24 that the present Greek Government has been conducting a bloody "reign of terror" against its political op ponents.' N. Y. Times editorial columnist W. H. Lawrence reports from Salonika: "There is little hope of lasting peace in Greece without considerably more bloodshed so long as the present gov ernment is in power and follows its present policies which, in the opinion of this correspondent, inevitably will INCREASE the forces of resistance. "The Government policies . . . have brought hardship to many villages whose residents, formerly pro-Government or neutral, now openly de clare their opposition . . seems possible on the historical hori zon, it is discouraging to liberals to learn that before they can strive to eliminate dogmatic nationalism, they must resume the fight against sectionalism. The individual rights article of our Constitution guarantees every American citizen equal rights in each of the 48 states. In brief, this means that a New Yorker can come to North Carolina and enjoy the same privileges of the native Tar Heel, that the Georgian can go to Pennsylvania and live in equality with the man from Phila delphia or Allentown, that the Texan can go to San Francisco without the use of a passport or visa. En principe, this is the American way. It has been called Democracy. Too, there is the Golden Rule of religion "Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Uuto You." Many Southern boys are studying in Northern schools that also are ex periencing difficulties with registra tions. Are these traveling Rebels to blame for this difficulty? Actually, in the cold illuminating light of logic, the arguments of this ton, Ohio State, NYU, MIT, Dart mouth, Williams, Antioch, Brown, ad infinitum. It was unfortunate that this politi cal aspirant failed to recognize the ii relevance of his argument. It is more unfortunate that he spoke at all. When this man began discussing sectionalism, he did so at a time when registration problems were being dis cussed. How our petty individual was able to work sectionalism 'into this subject is an unfathomable mystery. But his only accomplishment was to show the limits of his own vision, a method of thought that was supposed to have gone out with bustles on wo men's skirts. And the Model T Ford.

CANTATA TO BE SUNG The Methodist church choir will By Harry Snowden The University is fortunate in pos sessing a very large collection of art works. In 1943 Dr. Arthur E. Bye, a noted painter and restorer from Phil adelphia, came here to restore a num ber of paintings. While Dr. Bye was here he restored cne painting which most of the stu dents have probably never seen. It is a self-portrait by Dr. Jesse D. Graves and hangs in the secretary's office in the University Library. Bye repaired four holes in the canvas so that to day one can scarcely distinguish where these holes were. This portrait has a rather inter esting history. But, since we in mates of this great educational in stitution have already been bur dened with stories concerning every building, monument, and tree stump on the campus I hesitate but not for long to weigh you down with another tale of tradition. How ever, hoping that it will not prove to be the proverbial straw, I throw the weight of this story on your shoulders, and disclaim any re sponsibility for the consequences. In 18o7 a young man by the name of Jesse D. Graves came here to the University to study, intending to be come a doctor. However, the urge to paint became too much for him, and in 1838 he went to Paris, then the art center of the world, to study painting. There, in 1845 he completed the self portrait which the library now owns. One evening, a few days after fin ishing the portrait, he was settled com fortably in an easy chair reading a book when the sound of loud voices and a banging on his studio door startled him. "Entrez, entrez!" he shouted, lay ing aside his book, and rising from the comfortable chair. The door swung open with a bang revealing four of his cronies leaning rather heavily upon their walking sticks. It was quite obvious they had rll spent the evening bending their el bows over a bar. Filing noisily into the room they demanded to see this self-portrait which they had heard Graves had finished. Jessie reluctant ly unveiled his work and, stepping aside, allowed the four inebriates to gather round. As they eyed the paint ing critically, looks of displeasure be gan to creep slowly over their faces. Suddenly one of them raised his cane. "I don't like it," he cried, and, lurching forward, plunged his stick through the canvas. Before Graves realized what was happening, the other three, professing similar sentiments, followed suit. Their judgment passed, the four "critics" staggered out into the night. Shortly afterwards Graves returned to the United States and the study of medicine. He subsequently became a doctor, and established a practice in Randolph county.

There would politicians, our press, and our radio, has guaranteed confirmation.
