Mag Says MacArthur Stand Should Arrouse Protest Cry NEW YORK, Dec. 3. (UP) The magazine Editor & Publisher said editorially today that Gen. Douglas MacArthur's barring of the press from the executions of seven convicted . Japanese war criminals "should arouse a cry of protest from the American press." "The people of the world who suffered because of Japanese ag gression are entitled to know in timately the manner of their fate," the editorial said. "The English-speaking people, partic ularly the Americans, who sacri ficed so much in human life and economic wealth for four years to defeat these militarists, must be told the true story of the exe cutions." Editor & Publisher said rumors already were being spread as to the status of the convicted Jap anese, including reports of sui BrundageSays Falling Buying Power Is Cause of Increased Money Supply Falling buying power of the American dollar is due mostly to the increased money supply since the war, Percival F.

(UP) Henry Ford II, president of the Ford Motor company, said today that private colleges and univer sities must compete with tax supported institutions to keep ed ucation from becoming a govern ment monopoly. Ford spoke at the annual class agent dinner of Yale university alumni fund association. "I am very much against an educational system that depends entirely on the state with a cap ital "S" that is, centralized un der government control or super vision," Ford declared. "I am against it because I don't think it would be any good. I don't think it would be worth what we would pay for it. It would suffer from all the faults of every mo nopoly. It would grow fat and unimaginative. It would contin ually take the easy way. But worse than that, it would tend to teach the views of the govern ment in power." cides, and that "such stories will multiply with the telling." In its news column, the maga zine recalled that the United Press, the Overseas Press club of Japan, and the Tokyo Correspon dents club have appealed the MacArthur ruling but that Army Secretary Kenneth Royall said the matter was up to MacArthur. The article pointed out that press correspondents, who at first were barred from witnessing the 1946 hangings of 11 Nazi war criminals at Nuernberg, finally broke down official resistance and attending the executions on the basis of two representatives from each of the four powers. "The reversal of the military edict came after a series of edi torials and of messages to the War department, spearheaded by the United Press," the magazine said. ants. Duke and the University also acted as co-sponsors. Brundage placed the blame for decreased dollar value also on the t r e a s u r y's "cheap money" policy and relaxation of wage and price controls. "Up to now no one has been willing to take energetic steps to stop the decline because of the expected opposition of labor and the farmers," he said. h V- if I'll f Vl'l; t--fyanr' -ntirajmMmiiii"niiiifi- if fci-innriffTi'r'i'rf r"r Faculty Talk To Be Given By Prof. Huse 'Divine Comedy' To Be Subject Professor Howard Huse of the romance languages department will deliver the faculty lecture in humanities Wednesday night in Gerrard hall at 8:30. The lecture, one of a scries sponsored by the undergraduate division of humanities, is open for the entire university commu nity. Professor Huse will lecture on "Dante's Divine Comedy." He plans to describe and appraise this major monument so as to in form a general audience about it. Prof.- Raymond Adams of the English department has said that perhaps the most quoted remark about Dante is Carlyle's "in him voice." In saying this Carlyle could hardly have been more ten silent centuries found a wrong, Adams said, for the ten centuries preceeding Dante were far from silent. And Dante was quite as much a forerunner of the Renaissance as he was the culmination of the Middle Ages. But even so Adams continued, Carlyle had a grain of truth in his sentence. - One can hardly know the Middle Ages, that period which underlies modern times, without knowing something about Dante. The lecture by Professor Huse will help toward that knowledge. A graduate of the University of Chicago with a Ph.D. from the same institution, Huse has been here since 1920. He has been serving as chairman of the de partment of comparative litera ture since its organization a de cade ago and was for several years chairman of the Humani ties Division in the Liberal Arts college. He is author of several books, among them "Psychology of Foreign Language Study," and his latest book, "Reading and Speaking Foreign Language." The book which perhaps attracted greatest attention was his "Illi teracy of the Literate."

Solon Says Education Aid Will Be Passed WINSTON-SALEM, Dec. 3. (UP) Sen. Clyde R. Hoey, (D N.C.) today predicted that Con gress will pass a bill providing for federal aid to education "without federal interference" and placed his own approval on the proposal. " Hoey spoke today at the dedi cation of the new Mineral Springs high school near here. "I am in favor of providing federal aid to education," said the senior Tar Heel senator. "I think education is a national re sponsibility but should be admin istered, directed and controlled on a state basis. Every child in each state should have compara ble educational opportunities. "The last Senate passed a bill providing federal aid without federal interference," said Hoey, "but the House failed to act up on this measure. I think the pres ent Congress will pass this bill." Faculty Hears Talk by Waynick Capus Waynick, campaign man ager for governor-elect Kerr Scott and chairman of the state Democratic Executive committee, spoke before the members of the Faculty club at a luncheon Wed nesday. Speaking of State government problems, and of persons and incidents in the recent presiden tial election, Waynick mentioned the parallel between the Lincoln campaign and Truman upset. "In 1862, the prevailing fore casts were that Lincoln would not be reelected, and in August 1864, three months before the election he put down in writing that he did not expect to win. "The difference between Lin coln and Truman was that Tru man did not agree with the fore casts. When I talked with him in Raleigh he told me he thought he would win, and I was convinced and still am, that he really did think so." Waynick spoke with the Presi dent when Mr. Truman visited Raleigh last October. Waynick has had a long-standing acquain tance with the President, and it was evident to Waynick's listen ers at the luncheon that he held him in high esteem. "Some people have criticized President Truman for what they have called his 'littleness' and 'in eptitude'," he said. "I think these critics are mistaken in their es timate of him. sions, and Dean Pierson was a member of a session that dealt with higher education. The group gave a party in Pierson's honor, as he had been on this commis sion for 24 years. Both he and King are still in Memphis, at tending session of the deans of Southern graduate schools. Other school officials returned to Chapel Hill yesterday. One of the highlights of the meeting, according to Armstrong, was the panel which presented objectives of the Southern gover nors regional compact. A former member of the sociology depart ment, John Ivey, is director of the regional council for educa- I tie::. headquarters urged its local boards a month ago to grant one year deferments to professional students of the healing arts those who are studying to be doc tors, dentists, veterinarians or osteopaths. This request was based upon recommendations of a healing arts educational ad visory committee. The new committees now are preparing their recommendations on deferments for students in. the agricultural, biological, engineer ing, physical and social sciences, and in the humanities. Since the humanities classification in clude students of literature, lan guages, philosophy and other lib eral arts subjects, the recommen dations would apply to a majority of college students. The five' committees will meet jointly to pool their recommen dations under the chairmanship of Dr. M. H. Trytten of the na tional research council as soon as the preliminary work is done. Christian Reply Will Be Theme Of Conferences "The Christian Answer to Communism" will be the theme for this year's ninth annual Inter collegiate Student conference, which will be held in two sep arate and identical one-day con ferences today and tomorrow. Today's conference will be held at St. Augustine's college in Raleigh and tomorrow's will be at Livingstone college in Salis bury. The same speakers and program will be used at each place. Leaders for both conferences are Rev. Carl Key, newly elected executive secretary of the North Carolina Council of United World Federalists and John M. Sworn -ley, a Methodist , minister from New York, who is associate sec retary of the Fellowship of Re conciliation. Last year's student conference was held at Chapel Hill with ap proximately 10 different colleges represented by 150 students. Any students interested in at tending these meetings this year may receive information concern ing them at the YMCA office.
