Stars Can Fall On Carolina Too
When maternity foes for the Morehead Planetarium top
ped the three-mil 1km mark,, certain doleful, souls took pretty
dim view and made with grief about a million other things
that Carolina, needs.
This was in tune with shortage, here and there, that laps
up money like a kitten laps up milk,"
Must Carolina, put up. with a "freakish" thing; they asked,
lo satisfy a rich friend's-whim? There was scant dissention
to their stand.
Well, time passed . . . and dignitaries cut the ribbon. . . .
and the "stars" began to circle in their orbits. Dr. Marshall
and his staff were on the job.
Would the darned thing feed more babies? Question moot.
More time passed, as even revolved those "stars" of man
made cycle And lo and behold, those "heavens" , showered
visitors. They came by the galloping scad. They came to look
not only at the Marshall "planets," but also to tour the Caro
lina works.
And Chapel Hill, accordingly, grew tall.
Folks took a look at the Davie tree; traipsed the stadium
from end to end. They said, "This is ours; it's pretty good!"
and met a bunch of decent Joes who were not afraid to
give right back with a friendly smile.
And some of these visitors paused to munch the thought
that, "This is where our own kids, someday, ought to be." ,
With such grand Carolina folks to do that kind of think
ing,, a finer student crop, come time, is bound to spring. So
this:
The Planetarium for what it gives for admission? a
swell and worthwhile show. But in all-out use as public re
lations magnet? brother, it can't be beat! "D.O.C."
Ballots Gome Hard
By Chuck Hauser
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
STUDENT BODY:
For many, the spring general
flection is over, and the results
strongly indicated the popular
choice of the campus. May those
who have won their respective
races enjoy the best of luck and
the utmost of support in their
new jobs.
Along with a few others, I
face a forthcoming runoff. It
is one thing to run against a
candidate, in the first ballot,
whom one is sure of defeating
I on the better merits of news
paper aptitude alone. That case
was settled by popular elimin
ation' Tuesday, and it cannot
be changed by bitter, vicious
(and libelous) statements such
as appeared on- the front page
of this paper yesterday.
It. is something else, how
ever, to run. against the sus
taining candidate especially
when one respects his sin
cerity and ability right down
to the heels, and considers
him among the closest of per
sonal friends on. the Carolina '
campus.
Under such circumstances,
I. cannot -L will, not raise a
hand: to gain a single vote at
his expense.
If I am victorious in the run
off. I will certainly think long
and hard to find a Daily Tar
He?l spot for Graham Jones
which reflects his sincere, hard
work and superior level of in
tegrity. This hope he would accept.
Not onlv for the sake of a bet
ter Dailv Tar Heel itself: but be
cause I could do nothing short
of this to nav a debt of personal
rrspect. And if thins? chance
to po the other wav. he can
count on mv all-out stiDDort.
As far ns issue an now rnn

talk and. would run too much
to, the technical side of oper
ations to be interesting. Bui
they concern saving a mile
here a lost motion there, the
duplication of chores, the
bottlenecks of traffic flow
a lot of little, things, that get
in the way and all add up to
ward loss cf. time and money.
I don't' have any specific plans,
because between running a
campaign, and putting out a
newspaper,, I haven't any- time
to think about it. And propos
ing any such plans, now would
be taking an unfair disadvant
age of my friendly opponent.
In his province, it is, still un
discovered territory, and I know
through. trial and error the pat
terns and methods concerned.
I would be interested in dis
cussing; this with any person or
group of persons,, however,
whether, in an official capacity
as chairman of the Publications
Board or as an individual. I.
believe there I have been given
my mandate to continue with
the Board doing, the best job
possible, since no opposition
arose to my UP-SP double en
dorsement for re-election to the
publications finance body.
Going back to tho discussion
of a statement released yes
terday by the thirdrunnine
candidate in the Daily Tar Heel
election. I would like to point
out for the record that my pres
ent opponent did not get a
chance to see that article be
fore it went in the.paner be
cause it came in so extremely
late in the day.
If he had seen it. I'm sure
he would have felti the same
wav I would have felt if oun
positions were switched and
the statement, were supnortini
me:. "I appreciate any suoport
in the comma election, but. I
deolcre the soirit in. which
this support binf eriyen. I
want i peoDle- workino for me.
not' merely against my opponr
ent."
A number of people, however,
ere deliberately and carefully
working against me in. this elec
tion. They are trying to- defeat
me for a number- of reasons.
The biggest of these is-therfact
that I have sto-prvxi on many

funinff to play favorites.

my power. to- be- non-partisan,

DREW PEARSON
te WASHINGTON
MERRY-GO-ROUND
WASHINGTON". Most news
paper readers, even though dis
agreeing with Senator McCar
thy, consider him sincere in his
charges against the State De
partment. But Senators- who sit
alongside the likable young.
Senator from Wisconsin have a
omewhat different view, are
beginning to classify him as an
other Huey Long.
Like the Louisiana King-
lish, Joe McCarthy has: an en
gaging manner,, great personal
charm, tremendous energy
and an insatiable desire for .
putting headlines ahead of
public welfare. Also like
Huey, McCarthy, is (getting
the reputation , of picking; up
almost any ball and running
with it, providing it brings
enough- publicity. This; colleagues-
explain, was why he
smeared the U. S. Army for
giving the death sentence to -12
SS men. responsible for
massacring 50 unarmed
American prisoners of war at
Malmedy duringi the Battle
of the Bulge.
Malmedy wa6 one of. the most
gruesome and ruthless murd
ers of. the war. The 350-Americans
were prisoners, had no
way to defend themselves, had
not been guilty of -espionage.
Yet they were lined up and
shot in cold blood. With them
were shot 100 Belgian civilians.
Came the end of the war,,
and the 73 Nazi Storm Troopers:
responsible- for the. massacre
were tried and found guilty.
Most of them confessed. "The
atrocities," according to a Sen
ate report, "were committed by
the combat group. Peiper and;
were members of the Waffen
SS . . . which had a long, no
torious military record on both
the Western and Eastern fronts."
Despite this record, despite
the cold-bloodedness of the
murder, and despite the fact
only 12 of the 73 got the death
penalty for killing 450 men,
Senator McCarthy put on a ter
rific campaign last year to get
the convictions reversed.
In speech after speech on the
Senate floor, he charged that
the TJ. S: Army had extorted
confessions from the murderersi
His campaign was much like
that now at the State Depart
merft, and he was scr insistent
that a subcommittee of the Sen
ate Armed Services Committee
finally was appointed'' to- make
an investigation.
It wrote a unanimous report
upholding the Array and1 int
f erentially condemning Mc
Carthy. The- Senator from Wis
consin, the committee indicated,
had been sold' a bill of goods by
the National CounciL for; the
prevention of War and other
outfits- with close German, con
nectionsi McCarthy's Senate colleagues
also urged the Justice; Depart
ment to investigate? the "unusu
al activity irn this, case of cer
. tain organizations and. individ
uals" and even asked, the De
fense Department; to-, probe the
"possibility of a plan to revive-German-
nationalistic spirit by
discrediting, the American Mili
tary Government, andj to de
termine whether this is. part of
a larger plan to bring? Germany
into closer relationship- with the
Soviet Union."
Thus McCarthy's own col
leagues; implied, that he; might
be lending himself, to the; same
communist goals which, he? now
condemns, in the State Depart
ment. They also raised the points
that such able SS men as those
found, guilty at Malmedy should
not be released, and be per
mitted to affiliate with "the
Communist forces of Europe."
McCarthy's campaign for the
Malmedy slayers was played up
in. German Communist papers,
which featured reports that U.
S. officers had put. match sticks,
under the fingernails- of Nazi,
prisoners.' had torturedi their,
sex organs. Though comDlete
Iv untrue, these reports serious
ly undermined- U. S, Military,
prstie in Germany
In the end. a-Senate commit
tee ruled unanimously acainst
the Senator from untirin? effort
to remain in the limelight.

In his, 0 years of living

and- quits. "If it. was my
i horse,',' he once told me; "from
now oa he. would get sour
; cream; with-his: hay."
But let rne get back to- my
uncle's employment record. Four
Autumns ago,, unless my Aunt
Frieda is fibbing, Charlie was
fired from his job at Silverman's-
Candy Factory for put
ting; ketchup, in the halvah on
the. theory that the mixture
would appeal to. the Italian
trade., This example of capita
listic injustice hit him pretty
hard and for weeks he moped
around the house until it final
ly' got on Frieda's nerves. ;
' "Shouldn't- you. maybe find
yourself- some other, type em
ployment?" she suggested.
Such treachery from within
was. too much for. my emotional
kinsman, and before you could
say "Bettie Davis" he had
launched into a speech which
might have been lifted straight
out of "King Lear." At the end, ,
overcome by his own eloquence,
he burst into tears.
"Save please the waterworks,"
counseled' my aunt. 'With such
an act, you could get' a job
hoo-hooing in Herzog's Funer
al' Parlor."
Frieda was only kidding, but
my Uncle' Charlie is a literal
minded' man. "Why hot?" he
said. "I got more grade-A genu
wine emotion than anybody.
Ir should be explained at
this point- that the profession
al, mourner, is- still, a, fixture
in lowers EeasL Side life,, and
that when, relatives, want, lo
give a man a classy senoVoff,
tthey generally hire a set of
;' by-the-hour banshees, to pro
i vide, the J rears and- lementa-'
i iions. Eulogies-- are all right; in
their place; it is contended
with- some reason,, but- the.
true- worth- o.f a- man can. be
more accurately assessed by
the amount of breast-bearing
and hair-tearing which ac
company his grand exit.
My- uncle cot the job, at Harr
zogs and. if I may be permitted)
a bum joke, made good with
a-splash in fact, within a? few
rnonths he was conceded to be
Iod" man in his field. That is,
(with one exception: a cadmium
throated', gent named Willie
Gittef .w.ho Had. been sobbing
professionally since the age of
w. Ann as was. inevitable, an
pnochal rivalry rsp'-nn?'' no be
3tween Willie the Weeper and.
) he, new contender, Charlie the:
Crier.
The following. Spring, my un
tie suffered a major setback-
at the funeral of an -important5
poodle magnate he was barfly-ut-blubbered
by Willie. "He
Hing- in- cn me a onion," Char
told1 everybody, who would
listen. "What kind; ethics- is
that?" ''
' His pnint; of course; was well
taken, since- lacrimal stimulants
are outlawed by- the- Mourners'
G-uildi, But, these professional
niceties - didn't; interest: my aunt. .
"Onions bunions," she said.
"Next; time you cry you- gpt to
,
show up that Gittel. On it . de
pends the room rent."
The big test, came that No
vember, at the funeral of a
wealthy butcher, and for
hours before the event Riving
ton Street buzzed with ex
cited talk about the two- con
testants. However, because
of- the Crier's poor showing
at the noodle man's, send-off,
the smart money installed the
Weeper as a 9-to-5 favorite.
Well, by all. acounts it was
the most ear-piercing funeral
since Benjy. the Bum was shot
in 1931 and his. pals imported
h o g-c a H e r.s .. from... Chicago. .
Friends of the deceased stood
in awe as the professionals
wailed, and wept and whimp
ered," but it was soon evident
that my uncle was in trouble.
Willie, pacing himself like the
pro he- was, managed; an hor
rendous shriek every- time
Charlie paused for breath still
keeping enough, in. reserve for
a hurricane finish.
An hour later when it was
all over, but the shoveling
Aunt Frieda edged- over to
Charlie- and; stuck a piece of
paper, in his face. My- uncle
looked at it, clapped hand to
forehead and then came to life
with the most, unihibited series
of screeches ever heard this
' side of the.. Wailing Wall.
This brought, forth a gasp of
admiration from even the corpse-hardened
Mr. Herzog him
self, while less inured onlookers
had to make fists to keep from
breaking: into applause. As for
Willie Gittel, the outburst un
nerved him completely;, and
that night from Delancey Street
to Union Square,, glasses- were
raised, to the winner and. new
champion. .
What had Aunt Frieda
shown- Charlie to spur him on
to victory? WelL I'm afraid it
wasn't exactly ethicaL, buti re
member there . was the? room,
rent to consider. It was a
newspaper which, headlined a
simple-anoV tragic piece of in
formation Man o? War was1

An Open Letter
Mr. , Dick Jenreile, Editor:,
Dear Dick,
I know you will be glad to
get rid of all the headaches
that" Chuck or I will inherit- fol
lowing next Tuesday's election.-?.
Would appreciate some white
space for the letter.
An Open 'Letter lo the Students
They say- that to lose an elec
tion makes a person feel very
humble,- I have lost some and
know that to be true. To know
that. 950 Carolina students, by
their votes, have told me that
they are willing to trust me to
edit their daily paper, is both
gratifying and humbling. I have
no illusions about Tuesday's
voting, realizing" the strength of
my opponent. Whatever you do
decide on Tuesday, I can assure
you that I will work for a better
DTH.
You deserve to know where
your new editor stands on the
campus questions that have been
raised in this campaign and
those which will be raised dur
ing the next 12 months.
Here is my policy for your
paper:
1. A DTH that is responsible
and responsive to the wishes of
the people that own it the
student body.
2. A completely objective and
fairly written, front page that
will report the news as it comes
without bias.
3. An editorial page contain
ing" those syndicated columns
and features that the students
want, and as many student col
umns as possible in the space
which we have.
4. A sports page that will con
tinue the good coverage that we
have had in the past, in. major
sports with as much space as
possible to intramural and mi
nor sports.
5. More extensive and more
accurate coverage of all. stu
dent affairs organizations, so
cials, churches, and student gov
ernment. 6. Expansion of the DTH to
six pages only if it can be paid
for through advertising and
without further taxation of the
students.
7. A realistic attitude toward,
controversial ' issues that will
. give all concerned- an oooor
tunity for their say in the DTH.
Since entering student pol
itics I have tried to represent
the people in Dorm District 2
who elected me, and the campus
as a whole on such auestions
as" the block fee which I op
posed from the beginning.
Back in January. Billy Car
michael, III, was given a great
deal of SDace on the front pace
of the DTH to convince us that

a rake in block feci (student
taxes) -wass net-ded. A couple of
us. who were members of the
Finance Committee, after care
ful investigation of ail- anghs
involved in the raise, found that
a raise it tins time might very
conceivably hurt efforts mado
to lower tuition rates for Caro
lina, student.-?.
For that reason (since tuition
was raised $31 a year last spring
and since a. member of the
Board of Trustees frankly told
us that' a; raise in block fees
might, be held against us when
we ask the Trustees and the
Legislature to lower tuition)
I worked in the Finance Com
mittee and in the Legislature,
to have the whole question put
to a vote by the entire student
body.
We faced the fact that the
Legislature was controlled by
people who wanted to see the
raise go thru without giving
you, the students, an opportun
ity to decide
We also had to contend with
the Daily Tar Heel which was
very definitely backing the tax
boost. The president of the
student government, the man
aging the edi'tor of the DTH,
. both presidential aspirants, and
practically all other financial
"experts" said that the raise was
necessary.
What things finally boiled
down to was a midnight meet
ing of Ben James, the Chair
man of the Finance Committee,
Chuck Hauser, .the managing
editor of the DTH, and Jones,
"a campus demagogue." Hauser
and James, 'who favored the
raise consented to a vote by
the students after, the SP Floor
leader stated that he would per
sonally circulate a petition to
the student body forcing a refer
endum. There was one catch, how
ever. Proponents of the raise
would permit a referendum
. ONLY IF. we agreed that 50
per cent of the students had to
vote to make it count.

port promised me by staff mem
bers and those- who worked- for
