PAGE TXVO THE DAILY TAR HEEL SUIfDAY,-OCTOBER 2, 1543 Crises And Comic Strips Next to the activities of the Carolina football team, prob ably the most immediately important events in the world today are taking place in connection with the Berlin situ ation. Yet ask any American about the latest developments in that crisis and it is likely he will be able to answer you ""only in general terms. If, however, you should ask about the great Shmoo crisis, chances are you will get a detailed, up to the minute reply. jUrs - . ""T. ""'"7ZZ . This raises the question of which is more-important in our national life, world affairs or comic strips and it is not entirely an idle question. The names Al Capp and George Marshall placed side by side with no identification would probably poll an almost equal degree of familiarity. The actions of Li'l Abner, Daisy Mae and Fearless Fosdick are equally as well known as the provisions of the Secretary of State's plan for the reconstruction of Europe. Sadie Hawkins day has become a national institution and hardly anyone confronted with the face of Lena the Hyena would have trouble identifying her. Perhaps the University should drop its courses in history, government and economics and begin mass train . in of future cartoonists. No Matter How The editorial board announced yesterday by the Caro lina Quarterly magazine included a group of capable, efficient editors. All of them have had previous experience in publications work. All of them believe in the possibil ities of the quarterly and are willing to work for its success. But editors alone, no matter how good, can not pro duce a good magazine. It takes writers fiction writers, feature writers, poets to build a magazine of the quar terly type. It takes good writers to make such a magazine worth reading. On this campus there are many good writers who have never taken the trouble to contribute to publications here., There are many potentially good writers who for some reason or other have hesitated to put their ability to use. These are the people who will determine the fate of the quarterly. And the quarterly editors can not search them out; they will have to come to it. , In its last year the Carolina Magazine had top-notch editors, but it failed because these editors had too little material with which to work. Here in the center of a nationally-recognized authors colony, this University should be able to produce literary works on a level with those of any other University in the world. If enough students will contribute their efforts, the Carolina Quarterly will prove that this is true- Not For Long After three days of cold and rain, dog days came to Chapel Hill. The air is mild, the sun is warm, the grass is still green, and only a few leaves have begun to turn bright orange and gold. Summer has returned to give a last farewell before the frosts set in. Students who spent last winter on the hill are taking full advantage of the warm weather. They remember the icy, week-long rains, the muddy paths and the days when snow was piled so high that cars could not move. Those days may not return before Christmas this year, but brisk, nose-nipping fall weather is just down the calen dar a piece. Summer weather is" not long for this world. Enjoy it while you can. 2T()ea)ailyararlteet The official newspaper of the Publication Board of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where it is issued daily during the regular sessions of the University by the Colonial Press, Inc., except Mondays, examination and vacation periods, and during the official summer terms when published semi Wjeekly.

People with 8 'o'clocks might be able to keep at least one eye open if they could burn their taste buds off with a couple of swal lows of java. As it is, the one person at the counter can't possibly meet the sleepy de mands. SOMETIMES HAPPY dreams of Chapel Hill really and tru ly do come true. Here's an ex-' ample that's enough to refresh your hope and maybe make you feel as glad about it as we do. Two of the swellest kids on this campus celebrated their first anniversary (of their meet ing, that is) simply by eating lunch at the Carolina Inn last Tuesday. It was exactly a year ago that Fran Angas by some stroke of fate got into one of the long cafeteria lines right behind Hank Beebee. Two things developed proof that all Carolina men who like to talk to coeds in lines aren't wolves at heart and also a fraternity pin that has made Fran's brown eyes twinkle all the more. SIGNED PETITIONS re questing the reopening of the Emerson Scuttlebutt keep roll ing into the Student Govern ment office. Looks as if senti ment on. the matter is pretty strong. One aspect of the ques tion that nobody's mentioned is that coeds just out of gym classes found it mighty handy last year to drop in for a coke to lend them enough energy to get the rest of the way home. THE CAROLINA DOG Foun dation has done its good deed for the week and its members want you to know about it! They took the little brown and white spotted pup seen limp ing around campus with a hurt foot to the veterinarian for a bit of first aid. THE ONLY unhappy Gaw jans aren't in the Peach State today. There are a few left right here at the Hill, but their song of woe is that they could n't get away for the game fr'instance Ann Chandler from Macon or, as the folks from South Georgia would say Mecken. BY THE WAY, if you have anything you'd like to contri bute to this rat race, there's a hook crying for copy in the front office of the Daily Tar Heel. Typed items are not re quired; although please don't leave anything in Chinese brail. We have no Rosetta stones available at present. IF THERE'S such a celeb rity as Oscar Hammerstein's son on campus, for goodness sakes, let's hear more about him. Sound and Fury, we hear, is already rounding up blood hounds to send out on the chase. IN TOWN: Since the Daily Tar Heel is now devoting a large percentage of its space to Chapel Hill current events, with complete coverage within 24 hours, we thought we'd give you town people a listing on the new special reduced rates. A one year subscription (four quarters, or about 220 papers) $2.40; and one week (s fx papers), $.25. The papers will be delivered before 7:30 a.m. daily except Monday. THE FIRE ALARM Friday that attracted a smattering of neighbors and a few students who were looking for some sort of excitement to make up for not going to Georgia turned out to be no more than a pile of cook books and kitch en utensils that the folks at 507 Franklin Street probably didn't need anyway. There was one good page left in the col lection one with a recipe for North Carolina pumpkin pie; so maybe the family can thrive on that for a while. HARRY FREMB was seen trotting around town in all the rain this week quite noncha lantly in raincoat, cap, and bare feet. When Betsy Brunk asked him what the score on the feet was, he laughed and replied, "Just don't forget I'm from Florida." I IT IT ft 4 f rui t hcKc. Au. ET These Days The Essentials Of By George E. Sokolsky Six factors enter into the ac cumlation of power: coal, iron, oil, aluminum, uranium, man power. Those who possess these or who have ready ac cess to them possess political and economic power. The United States is the greatest power ' because, 1 as of this moment, she possesses the readiest access to and utili zation of coal, iron, oil, and aluminum (although her stores of bauxite are not great.) The United Slates has ' "s the best access to uranium (in Canada.) While her manpower is not equal to that of Soviet Russia or China, it is more-u-.-mobile, more facile, capable 1 of greater productivity. The only country which can, at this moment in history, challenge the United States is Soviet Russia. Rich in coal, oil and iron, with easy access to bauxite and therefore an aluminum potential Soviet Russia exceeds the United States in manpower. It may be roughly estimated that with her satellites in Europe and Asia, Soviet Russia now has a population of . close to 250,000,000. Should the Com munists take over China, this figure would be stupendous. It is interesting that in 1939, 33,000,000 Soviet citizens lived in Asia. As Robert Strausz- CPU Roundtable Why The first CPU roundtable discussion for this fall quarter is scheduled tonight at 8 o'clock , in the Grail Room of Graham Memorial. Students and towns people, CPU members and visitors, will come to express and hear expressed some facts seme opinions, on a political and economic question that is of vital concern to every one: "Why present-day inflation?" The "what" as well as the "who" may be considered in attempting to name the reasons for the present state of the American economy. There is a divergence of views that can proceed from the same as sumptions, as well as highly contradictory assumptions with which to begin in the first place. The( question may be asked, is our so-called present day inflation something to worry about, anything which is really harmful? If this can be answered with affirmative assurance (and there is room for doubt), apportionment of responsibility and naming of villains for the deplorable state cf aflairs should folic w. Some will provide this ex planation. The basic contradic tion of our social system is to be found in the fact that wealth produced by large num bers of workers in mines. .Out on a Limb-But Why? cV TUU MEAN, JJMMJE, H r yj THAT GYn nm IHJr 1 W v IMkT All I ' Hupe says in his "The Bal ance of Tomorrow": "....The development of indus tries in the shelter of the Urals, beyond the reach of hostile European powers, and the strengthening of the Asi atic border regions, have do minated the strategic thinking of the Soviet regime since its earliest days. Industrializa tion and mechanization of ag riculture in Russian Asia set in . motion mass migration not only from the land to the towns but also from densely settled rural regions of Rus sian Europe. When the Red Army fell back before the . German invader, it shielded the withdrawal of many war important industries. Whole plants, together with their skilled personnel, were moved fto Asia. In addition, millions of people uprooted by the war, villages with their livestock, skilled workers, Jews from the border regions, and the forcibly evacuated Volga Ger mans streamed eastward This process has continued since the end of the war. Vast numbers of Germans, Aus trians, Hungarians have been moved into Siberia where in the homeland of Genghis Kahn and Timur Lenk a new world is being created a slave world of peoples of mixed blood. In this new world, a race will come into being that (Copyright, ly-lS. King Present Inflation? mills, and factories falls into the hands of the owner of these mines, mills and fac tories. The wealth is then distributed in accordance with the needs of the people. The problem of inflation in our country must be studied in the light of this fundamental fact. . . Eventually the roof falls in. ... It can be seen from - this that the working people will NOT be respon sible for the oncoming crisis of "over-production," a crisis the immediate cause of which will be the inability of the great majority of people to buy the things which have been produced. . . To say that anybody who points out where the greed of the owning class is taking us is unpatriotic is to say that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. On the other side of the " roundtable, however, will like ly be someone who will have no patience or respect for the preceding assertions, one who emphatically embraces this "selfish and greedy pro fit system," with the acknow ledgement that it can and should be made less greedy and less selfish. His reasoned comment will be, thus it be comes evident that the pro A blem is too complex for us S oi 2- 4X1 Power has never known Europe, never known Western civili zation, never known Chisti anity, never known freedom. Against the utilization of such power for the subjection of the world stands only the United States with its superior utili zation of coal, iron, oil, alum inum and uranium. But with smaller manpower. There is no prospect of a power rising in Western Eu rope .or any combination of powers capable of withstand ing either the United States or Soviet Russia unless all the countries of Western Europe unite. It is possible for Western Europe to aid the United States against Soviet Russia, but on their own, the nations of Western Europe possess no po tentials fcr power. Those who speak of One World, of a federation of na tions (whether by name of World Federalist or any other), ignore that this is not an age of peace; we are at the his torical moment of the rise or fall of one of the greatest and most ruthless imperialistic powers man has ever known. This power is Soviet Russia and it also possesses more manpower than any imperia lism has ever held in all hu man history. This power will either subject all mankind to itself or it will be destroyed. Features Syndicate, Inc.) to put the major blame on one factor or one group with any degree of certainty. To do this would be merely to spec ulate and in the final anal ysis that depends largely on our political inclinations and upon just whom we are will ing to believe. The Democrat may point with glee to the Republican 80th Congress, and recall that the president of NAM told a Congressional committee in 1946 (rather prematurely) that "the danger of inflation comes from OPA. If OPA is finally dead . . . prices of autcs may be expected to reach normal within six months while rents might take at least a year.'' GOP stalwarts can then handily re call that President Truman once remarked, out loud, that price controls were the methods of the police state, and a few months later exhort ed the Republican Congress to maintain price controls so as to protect our democratic in stitutions with a strong and stable economy. There is some factual evi dence that should be present ed in this matter; it may be possible to generate more light than heat. Write Away 'Based On Reaction' Editor: To the members of the "States' Rights Democrats": I had better state my position first. I am a Southerner, bom and raised in the South,. and have no greater interest than the welfare of the South. I do not feel, however, that this aim can best be realized by joining an organization that is based on re action, oppression, and maintenance of the "status quo" regard less of the cost to the individual. If loyalty to the South means that these policies must be accepted as goals, then I am not a "loyal" Southerner. Far too long, in my opinion, has the Northern' Democratic Party put up with eccentricities of their Southern brothers. The Longs and the Talmarges (now again in power), the Bilbos and the Rankins, with their filibusters and their ridiculous preju dices, have degraded all the true Southerner stands for. We at least some of us seem to fail to realize that by improving the standerd of living of the lowest income group we will raise it for all of us. To step on the Negro and that is exactly what Thurmond, in the final analysis, stands for is an example of bigotry and shortsightedness seldom equalled in the world's his toryfl Perhaps, although there seems to be no statistical basis for the fact, we are superior to the Negro, but certainly as a race they have never been offered any opportunity to try them selves, and conviction without trial is not part of the "demo cratic principles of Jefferson". "The Democratic Party in the last few years" by which I suppose the period under Franklin Roosevelt is meant has not, to my mind "fallen into the hands of a few power-mad (Northern) politicians." On the contrary, it has brought to this country, for one of the few times since 1860, a government interested in the welfare of the common man. Perhaps by now the national Party has become so sick of its reactionary Southern component that it was perfectly willing to split. They, as I, stand for States' Rights, but perhaps they feel that after the continual squawking for the last 150 years or more about states rights, coupled with the failure, in the South to use these rights for the good of their people, it is high time for somebody to do smething to stir us to a little action. t -.1 . i . i i t . f. a i t-i:wH ' 1 1. ..1 . l address mis leuer noi oniy 10 states mgmcis uui uimj iu Tf -9ffp the thinking voters of the campus, asking them to consider the i nnlira cnnioft mforrirlo t Kc! r i n cast their ballots in the only intelligent way not for Mr. Thur mond and reaction, but the only way that will lead to the ulti mate improvement of the South. Name Withheld Plug For Editor: What ever became of Drew Pearson's column which appeared regularly in the DTH last year? Pearson was a first-rate colum nist and he had something new and interesting to say every day. This mediocre joker, George E. Sokolsky, who takes Pear son's place is a sad substitute. It takes a notable spirit of charity and compassion for me to rate him as high as the poor-to-middling class. So far he has offered DTH readers nothing more than a series of boring tirades against the Democratic ad ministration and some warmed-over cliches from the less in spired Republican political orators. Speaking for myself and for everyone else who has expressed any opinion on the subject, I would like very much to see Pea rson back. Why print a poor column when a good one is avail able? Henry Adams (Editor's Note: Sokolsky is the first of three nationally syn dicated columnists whose work will be sampled during the fall quarter. The column which .meets with the most general cp provul will then be continued for the rest 6f the year.
