Junior Senator Outlines Three Points
To Make Nation 'Strong In Freedom'
By Graham Jones
Sen Frank P. Graham told a
joint meeting of the Chapel Hill
unci Carrboro civic clubs in the
Carolina Inn tonight that "the
United Nations is America's hope
for preventing World War III"
und reminded his audience of 200
that "the burdens and problems
of the world"' are America's con
cern. North Carolina's junior senator
r( iterated his agreement with
President Truman's decision to go
ahead wifli the production of the
hydrogen bomb, declaring,
"Where would freedom, religion,
and a humane civilization be if
the Kremlin controlled a hydro
gen bomb and free America did
not?"
In expanding his remarks on
the H-bomb and atomic power,
the former president of the con
solidated University stated that
the H-bomb by itself is not
enough: "we must have a post
tive program."
Dr. Graham called for a three
point program "to make the
United States strong in freedom
and democracy" arid to give this
nation an alternative to World
War III:
1. A "real appropriation" for
the Voice of America in order to
"raise its whisper to meet the
thunder of the Voice of Moscow.'
2. Continued efforts for inter
national control and inspection of
atomic power plants, despite Rus
sia's effort to veto peace.
3. Strengthening of the United
Nations in order to make it a

Thanks, Prof!
Students in Dr. E. J. Wood
house's two political science
classes received pleasant sur
prises yesterday, and the genial
professcr received a vround of
laughter and applause in return.
At the beginning of class Dr.
Woodhouse lit his usual first-five
minulos-of-class cigarette. Then
to the surprise of all, he offered
cigarettes lo the students on the
front row.
Slight laughter was heard
throughout the room, but Dr
Woodhouse had still another
surprise in store. From his poc
ket he took a box of butter

While declining to take direct
note of his opponents for the;

the U. S. Senate, Graham re

that he had been charged with

has consistantly fought for a "free

joy the right of thinking and do
ing anything they want so long
as they remain within the law.
Graham was introduced by
William D. Carmichaef, Jr., Act

Paul Roth, Chairman of the
University Party, yesterday made
the following statement in con
junction with the forthcoming
Spring Elections:
"During the past few days, sev
eral outstanding campus leaders
have come out with statements
that inferred directly, or indirect
ly that the University 1'arty has
Dccn guilty ui creating an neu

made wilftout substantiation, anu
nave, in no way, teen based on
fact. The University Parly has
but one reason for its existence
to bring better siuaent govern
ment to every stuuent on cam
pus. In line with this goal, the UP
lias always sought lo nominate
and elect only those candidates
who were best qualified on the
basis of capability and experience.
"The UP has never sought to
influence the decisions of any of
its elected representatives .past
the point of seeing that they per
form their duties and meet the
responsibilities placed upon them
by the voters who elected them.'
As a matter of fact, it is stated
in the UP by'laws that no per
son elected by the University
Party, or a member of an organ
ization represented "in the party,
shal be required, or in any way
coerced, to vote in a particular
manner on any issue."
Chairman Roth went on to state
the ovcral platform on which the
UP candidates arc running in the
19J50 elections. The yare: (1) to
insure a student government
which will encourage full parti
cipation by all interested persons
and effectively reach all members
of our student community; (2)
economical management of stu

cation of funds to various organ

untenable,". VanNoppen claimed'.
"To state that TUA and TMA
should be denied membership in
the University Club and the
Dance Committee because their
membership is fluctuating and
non-permanent seems to me am-
other way of preventing student
participation in government," he
said. -
"Greater participation and a
greater chance for students . to
participate in their government
has been a cause for which I have
constantly campaigned," he as
serted.
In reply to Mackie's statement
that an "understanding" has been
reached with the legislature
whereby the two town organiza
tions would not be included in the
revised constitution, but would
later be admitted to the UC and
UDC by an act of legislature, Van
Noppen declared that he could
not "frankly see " how such an
'understanding' could be reached."
"I can't imagine the idea, es
pecially since the present legis
lature will be replaced next week
by a new lawmaking body," he
argued.
"I am not in favor of killing the
proposed constitution. It repre
sents a long-needed change in the
student government framework.
"But," VanNoppen emphasized,
"I want to do all in my power
to sec that the injustice of re
stricted membership in student
government activities is rectified.
Bill Mackie's Constitutional Re
vision Committee saw fit to omit
them under the new constitution.
I can't follow his reasoning."

TMA and the TGA, he said, have

the organizations were revived

by Chuck Hauser, chairman of

tried to keep out of politics for
years."

footwork, has again sidestepped
the issues. He has refused direct
answers to several of my ques

Hauser commented, "I have

WASHINGTON, March 3 1 (lJ)
-Senator Bridges (R-NH), saying
the Administration alone must
take responsibility for Far East

China," called today for "a show
down on foreign policy."
. t
Bridges said he is "shocked and
amazed" at President Truman's
charges, made at a Key West, Fla.,
yesterday that Bridges and Sen
ators Wherry (R-Neb) and Mc
Carthy (R-Wis) are sabotaging
foreign policy.
"President Truman wants me
as a Republican United States
Senator to share the responsibility
for the loss of China," Bridges
said. "President Truman charges
that I sabotaged a bipartisan for
eign policy which does not exist,
for I am convinced that no Re
publican helped frame our China
policy."

from the other Senators Mr. Tru

Another statement on publica

United and Associated Press.
"I stated that the Publications
Board was faced with a lawsuit,"
Talley commented. "I did not say
that a lawsuit had been filed
against anyone."
Hauser stated emphatically
that "no lawsuits have been
filed, threatened, or even men
tioned in our conversations or
business dealings with any wire
service.
"We now have a contract with
United Press which we are not
paying anything on this year. We

Bednasek is accused of the
strangulation slaying last Dec.
11 of Margaret Anne (Gee-Gee)
Jackson, 20. a campus beauty he
had been dating and to whom
he had formerly been ' engaged.
The slate, in presenting 35
witnesses, sought to show that
Bednasek killed the, coed because
of jealousy and a fear of losing
her. The defense also called 35
witnesses, in attempting to show
the death was accidental.
Bednasek reiterated from the
witness stand today that he and
Miss Jackson had placed their
hands' oh each others' throats
"in a playful manner" just prior
to her death, in his rooming
house.
The defendant, who had spent
six hours on the stand yester
day, was recalled briefly for
more cross examination before
the defense rested.
Special Prosecutor Edward F.
Rate, who . yesterday had spe
cifically asked Bednasek if he
didn't hold his hands "real tight"
on Miss Jackson's throat, ques
tioned him again today about
that.
JtJut Uednasek maintained as
before, that the two "playfully"
placed their hands on each others
throats. 1 j '
Several entries were intro
duced by the defense from a dia
ry kept by Bednasek, who is ac
cused of strangling the pretty
university coed in the "Empty
Arms" rooming house where he
lived. The defense contended the
initials "G G "after the dates of
Dec. 10 and Dec. H, showed that
Bednasek had planned a date
with the coed as late as the
day she actually died. '
Bednasek told the court in his
testimony that Miss" Jackson's
death was accidental after the

Are Sore Spots
By Don Maynard
The Town Men's and Tovn
Women's Associations yester
day charged the Constitution
al Revision Committee had
"discriminated against town
students and rebuffed the ac
tion of the student body," and
declared they would do all in
their power to have the stu
dent body vote the stream
lined law down in Tuesday's
general campus election.
Former TMA president Ralph
Hebb, representing current presi
dent Ben James, and TGA Presi
dent Janet Ellington pretested
that the revamped constitution
does not provide for TMA nor
TGA membership on the Uni
versity . Dance Committee and in
the University Club. Under the
present constitution the organiza
tions have such representation by
virtue of constitutional amend
ment.
Student' Body President Bill
Mackie, chairman of the 17-man
committee " which rewrote the
constitution, yesterday afternoon
called the associations' action a
"silly fuss," saying the Commit
tee could not give them constitu
tional membership - in the UDC
and i UC because "wc can't gua
rantee the TGA and . TMA will
continue to exist."
, According to the Dean of Stu
dents Office, there are approxi
mately 1,515 students, men and
women, living off campus in
town. The TGA and TMA are
organization open to any of these,
Hebb said. "Most of the town
students have no body through
which they are represented ex
cept our groups," he added.
"The Constitution Revision
Committee has arbitrarily taken
it upon themselves to rebuff, the
action of the studen body, which
voted on the amendments giving
us membership last spring," Hebb
said. "The Committee has legal
right to rewrite the constitution,
but it should not be within their
power to materially change it."
"I want to know why our or
ganiations were left out of the
revamped constitution, and did
the Committee have the power to
leave us out?" Hebb demanded.
Today, Hebb asserted, the two
organizations will distribute hand
bills advising the student body
to vote down the proposed re
vamped Jaw. He said he would
like to have the Committee go
over the new constitution once
more, include the town organiza
tions in the stated UDC and UC
memberships, then 'submit the
law for ratification "by the stu
dent body.
