Sports, Harvey Ritch To Fight Communist Lies The biggest peace offensive to turn up since World War II begins in North Carolina today and it is directed right straight at pushing the fake Communist "Stockholm peace petition" out of the limelight of an unsettled world. The Crusade for Freedom, being launched by thousands of volunteer workers in the Tar Heel state's 100 counties, gives citizens a chance to sign their names to. a document affirming their belief in the cause of world freedom, The campaign will continue for two weeks. The Freedom Scrolls signed during the two-week period will be circulated throughout the state and then sent to Berlin, along with many more from the rest of the nation, to be permanently enshrined in the base of a bell tower . which will house a 10-ton Freedom Bell. Signers will also be provided with an opportunity to back up their signatures with free-will offerings in any amount as contributions to the support and further develop ment of Radio Free Europe. The broadcasting agency daily sends programs from a transmitteu in Western Germany to the prisoner peoples behind . the Iron Curtain in an effort to naii Communist lies with the truth of, freedom. Radio Free Europe, entirely a private operation, is not restricted by government protocol. Therefore, it is a most effective supplement to the Voice of America and is so recognized by the State Department. Two North Carolinians, Senator Frank P. Graham and Representative Thurmond Chatham, are on the national advisory council, a distinguished body set up "to advise General Clay. In addition to this national council, a state advisory board has been established' to work with Chair man Jones and former Governor R. Gregg Cherry who is Vice-chairman of the North Carolina Crusade. Senator Clyde R. Hoey, in- accepting appointment to this advisory committee, stated that "I am strongly in favor of doing everything possible to get over to the people of Europe the American story in order to check the advance cf Communism and to inform the Russians of the real facts in connection with the actions and attitude of America." On Oct. 24 United Nations Day the bell will be dedi cated in the American zone of Berlin. Its simple purpose is set forth in the inscription around its base: "That this" world under God shall have a new birth of freedom." But the heart of the Crusade will rest in the base of the bell tower where the names of millions of Americans who have rededicated themselves to the principle of freedom for all mankind will be permanently enshrined. NONPLUS by Harry Snook I had a revealing experience yesterday. A local pastor ran into me tor the first time m sev eral weeks and mentioned my recent column on religion. No comment, just mentioned having seen it. "It was just a -beginning," I said. "I'll have more to say later." "Really." And that would have been that if I had acknowledged his obvious intention to let the sub ject drop. "I suppose you think I'm all wet," I ventured. , "Well, you wouldn't be the first to take the wrong road, al though I don't particularly want to discuss it with you." "For heaven's sake, why not?" "All you've done is to join the ranks of those wTho dpn't believe and who welcome any chance to argue the matter," he told me. "And there's no point in discussing reheion when you ; already have your mind made up." He didn't really surprise me. So many of today's men of God restrict themselves to those who voluntarily accept the faith and to those who quiver on the brink of coming into the fold. "You send missionaries to convert the heathens," I pointed out. "Yes, but they're savages. They've had no opportunity til know the Right Way." "Great scott, man, aren't you defeating your own purpose? Isn't it a challenge to try to convince thinking, questioning, critical men that you have the real answer? Or is it too great a task, requiring too much ef fort when you can find so many easier ways of serving God? Or is it that your whole philos ophy of religion is too flimsy to withstand specific criticism and subjective analysis by thinking men?" "I've got to run along, Snook. We'U have to talk about this sometime." Apd he was off. I expect it took him all of a block to forget my words and concentrate on a plan of action for the next on his list of souls waiting, begging to be saved. On Sportsmanship A Raleigh Times reader up in Franklinton has thrust our feet into the fire because of what she considers a serious failure on our part in seeing our duty and doing it. The Franklinton subscriber wrote a letter which ap peared on yesterday's editorial page. The communication deplored a Times news story and picture regarding the smearing with paint of the new Reynolds Coliseum at State College the night before the State-Carolina football game. "Why not an editorial on Better Sportsmanship Be , tween Our North Carolina Colleges?" - the letter asked . . . "If our papers would elaborate more on how to prevent , these unsportsmanlike acts pur college students would not be such 'vandals' as they are . called , when they do such things as painting the buildings, etc., of their rival school." To our Franklinton reader's point we say: "Amen." We quite agree.' The Times deplores the necessity for printing such a story and picture but getting the news is our business. However, we do plead guilty to the charge of neglecting to editorialize on the subject. We hope to take care of the chore in this editorial. What's more we're sending a copy to each of the campus newspapers at the Big Four colleges. V e hope these journals will also see fit to echo the timely sentiments of the reader at Franklinton. Yes, college students are missing a passing grade in sports manship by a mile when they visit rival campuses and damage or destroy property. This : doesn't prove who has . the better team on the field Saturday afternoon nor on the hardwood floor, during basketball season. All it does prove is that one of the schools involved in such an in cident is better skilled in the unmanly, un-sportsmanlike and un-called for art of campus vandalism. Th sad things about such destruction is that r.o one ever wins because there is no end to it. No one college could ever come out ahead in such regrettable doings unless one were demolished with atomic bombs football team, basket ball team, coliseum, bell" tower and all. The ultimate result of such vandalism and there was plenty of it on both sides before last . Saturday's football game will be the termination of any kind of athletic competition between the schools involved. The Raleigh Times urges faculty and student leaders, : fellow newspapermen on the campuses, to convince their respective student bodies that this sort of thing hurts everyone the school, the athletic teams, the individual stu dents and. sometimes that poor guy, the taxpyer. The Raleigh Times United Nations Gentlemen Your Note Of A Few Months Ago ' . Has Just Come To, My Attention ' f&U MSrn The Editor's Mailbox Ban Those Automobiles! Editor: I think that all automotive vehicles should be banned frfjrn the" streets of Chapel Hill! After all, we are hell-bent on nuking this a "Colonial style'' town and all the cars and trucks around to destroy the iljusion. It would be easily enough done. Large parking lots rr,v, be set up on the edge of the village where everyone comin;; to town would park his machine. Horses, carriages, wagons, etc., could be supplied to give transportation into tovn. By-passes would be supplied for through traffic around the village. Funds eou'd be obtained from rent on the horses and wagons, from the sale Cj; hay, and from the sale of the valuable manure that would cleaned off streets. Of course, there would be some 'crude "modernists" (ir.(,y Damyankees and Communists) who would protest such a pre occupation with things of the past but a majority of the ii.r in the town would no doubt approve wholeheartedly .f In fact. I think most of the townspeople would commend a law requiring girls to wear hoopskirts and men to wear old-fashioned knee britches. . Then we would really have something to brag about! Homer Hartung ' Thanks For The Books Editor: During the summer, . I received this letter from the Amc rit an Friends of the Hebrew University as a result of the book drive held on -the Carolina campus during the winter and spra quarters of 1950. "I thought you would like to know that the books have been received and those which could be used (and thd,. were many) have been forwarded to the warehouse for cratin" "Plase accept our sincere thanks for your cooperation and as sistance." Although addressed to me, I feel that the thanks properly be longs to those members of the YWCA and IZFA (Intercollegiate Zionist Federation of America) who worked so hard for the suc cess of the drive, The Daily Tar Heel which helped so much on publicity, and last but not least, all the Caroina students who gave so generousy of their used texts to the students of Israel wi.i, have so few. Bea Kamineizky Chairman, Eook Drive Tar Heel at Large by Robert Ruark, '35 On Campus Received from a friend at the Mooresville Tribune in yester day morning's mail: 1 As a rule, I don't read Eleanor Roosevelt's column, not if I can help it, but it was raining the other night and I couldn't git up to the country store, so I got down to her column as the last resort. I'm mighty glad I hap pened to look it over. Sh2 had been visiting a few hours with the Trumans and said that Harry showed her tlie rose gardens and explained that the rose bugs had about ruined it this year. I never dreamed, with all the money they is spending in Washington, that they didn't havs a Bureau for the Protec tion of the White House Rosa Garden. I'd a'thought that they would have such a organization, with a Director, Field Superin tendent, Bureau Chemist, Book keeper, Receptionist, and Jani tor. They could take such a or ganization and tie it in with the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and then they could set up what they call a Liason Department." It seems a Liason Department, is one of them organizations that links up two departments when they tie in together. That way, instead of having just two de partments, you can have three, one to link 'em up, and that gives many more jobs than just having twb departments. Some body up there is asleep at the switch fer not discovering cfcout them bugs in the President's rose garden. Ordinarily, them poli ticians up 'in Washington could take a' situation like that and create about two hundred jobs out of it. Funny thing, too, about Mrs. Roosevelt's column, was that she didn't get the point at all. She just saw it as a situation where nothing but bugs was involved. But I recken by new some poli , tician up there has read her col7 umn and in another week they will git going on the Bureau for the Protection of th:? White House Rose Garden. Through some mysterious circumstance, in volving a man named Joe Copps, I found myself in Toledo the other day, to midwife some cele brations involving a new railroad station trie New York Central had erected, involving a co-;t of five million dollars. A Southern lady, the wife of one of the cele brants, was heard to say: "I never saw so much carryin' on over a new dee-poe in uii my l-om days." The lady was right. One whole week of huzzahs was devoted to the station. Fleet Admiral Nimitz was on hand to lend the global military touch. At one count there were 18 foreign newspapermen and 19 press agents, until one extra newshound, snif fing the seven-fifty lunch, strayed from a mur der and stumbled in to even the tally at 19 all. The Hollywood Ijams came later. For one whole week they shook the state of Ohio upside down to herald the birth of a build ing in which trains and passengers dwell, and I thought it was kind of fine. Anything is fine, in this day and age, that does not package itself with the threat of sudden extinction. Here is a nasty old capitalistic outfit Lite the Central, which all of a sudden bets a wad of its stockholders' money that nobody is going to blow up the world, and in the meantime the customers have a cleaner toilet and a more comfortable place to set. There isn't even a bomb shelter under the station. A flock of us were up in the dispatchers' new offices, and the boys were doing great with radio telephones, routing trains all around. If you slid back a drawer a mite, you saw that every one still had a Morse' code bug, or sending instru ment, tucked away under the stationery. The phone is fine, but these lads still based their deept faith on dah-dit-Hah, tapped out with one finger. We talked for a considerable spell with the dispatchers, and I asked one what wuld happen if the Russians suddenly parachuted a mess of saboteurs on the rail centers of our world, and About That Girl Again Editor decided to foul up communications. "Not much," said one, named Steve. "All the boys who are talking to me on the other end know my voice. They wouldn't pay any mind to a stranger. Wouldn't get 'away with it for a minute." The method of following the progress of trains hain't changed, basically, since about 1900, which sort of comforts me in an age of jet plane and guided missile. People at the watch stations where the trains pass call in the neces sary dope to the central board, and the man writes it down in ink on a sheet. If the freight's got hogs that have to be walked every so often, the man knows it. He is even conversant with the quality of tomatoes that1 some rail-borne tugboat is chuffing over a steep hill. I'm not much on trains, as a hobby, but you can't help but admire the ruged, even stuffy, individualism of the men who run them. They all look like reserve major-generals, and a young president of a line is in hij fifties. They're all sore as hell at the competition of airline and steamboat, all of which seem to get fat govern ment subsidies. Maybe they're just jealous. Trains do run slow, compared to the iron birds, and they bump on the tracks and the ticket system seems unduly ponderous, but today they are comforting. They argue a permanence, an old-fashioned way of doing business, a disre gard of hysteria, that seems pretty wonderful. A flock of ancients from an Old People's Ho xe were in the new Central Union Terminal for to see and to admire, and they just couldn't gef over the fancy fixin's and the glass and the do-jiggers. The oohed and ahed and allowed as how they, never figured to live to see the like. That was pretty comforting, too. Old fash ioned progress has finally come to rail centers 'in Ohio, and it is nice to reflect that some are still alive who never reckoned to see it bloom. These did codgers never once aked about the pyence of a radio - activity r decontamination room. ' I would greatly appreciate it if you would print the following as an open letter to "Miss College Senior" as soon as practicable. College Senior: Providing that you are not a figment of someone's imagina tion, (someone on The Daily Tar Heel staff, perhaps, who is seek ing to create a diversion in theirdrab"journalistic" life,) yours is indeed a touching story. And a very unique one, I should say. How many Caroina Coeds are limited, as you imply that you aie. in their extra-curricular activities by a shortage of suitable "material?" In one sense of the word we are kindred spirits. I, too, am 21 and a senior. But if I'm "picked over" I am blissfully unaware of that .fact. In my past three years here I have been forced to do most of my.' "dating around" at one or the other of our neighbor ing schools. (Even Doo'; as a last resort.) But I blamed this on the infamous "ratio" and continued to suffer in silence. But for give me for speaking of my own problems when I should be thinking of yours. ' Believe me, you have nothing but my deepest sympathy, and I feel something should be done to alleviate such an unbearable situation. I won't go as far as Mr. Cochran did and say that I could "fill the bill," but if you'll meet me at Harry's sometime I'll buy you a beer and maybe we can think of a solution while we cry on each other's shoulders.

Sullivan In this, the fourth month of the war in Korea, reports from the fighting fronts bring the cheer ing news that U.N. forces are everywhere vic torious. The defeat of the North Koreans is al most a surety. As the military aspect of this , conflict is resolving itnelf, it becomes necessary for us to consider the political aspects of the defeat of the North Koreans. Assuming that the U.N. forces are able to trap and capture the North Korean army south of t ie 33th parallel, should the United Nations troops then occupy Noi'th Korea? This oeci" t'on wo'iM pl'Jce armed American troops along tie Monchunan border. The relatione! between the United States and Communist China have alrodv been strained bv our stand on protect ing Formosa and the accidental bombings of Manchurian towns. Then, there is the possibility that -the North Koreans wil successfully retreat to the north keeping the majority of their forces intact. Should the U.N. armies then invade North Korea, inviting armed participation by the Chinese? (The Chinese have an army of two million men ard are reported to have over 200,000 troops massed near the Korean border.) Lastly, there is the slight possibility that Ru'fia will occupy North Korea to save face ard o ' t?ve off my U. N. invasion.. Such a move bv the Soviet Union could well bring on a world war. - The-e questions and thir ramifications will be the tonic of tonight's CPU discussion at 8 oV'ock in the Grail Room of Graham Memorial.
