It was a most unusual theater, with propaganda banners in stead of advertising displays decorating the entrance.. Arid the patrons of this little theater came for neither culture, relax ation, nor entertainment. They came only to join their scream ing comrades i a blazing orgy of hatred against Wall Street, the American Army, and the people of the United States. Suppertime found me down in a Soho cellar cafe breaking in a new ulcer with a tortured 'flounder and some cremated French fries when British jour alist John Clews (the same chap who accompanied me through Yugoslavia last fall) ambled over with one of his quaint sugges tions for a pleasant evening. "How would you like to take a ringside seat at a Communist Hate America rally?" asked Clews. I admitted I would like to very much. ' . "Come along, then," he said, glancing at his watch. "I'll take you right into the crater of the volcano." A half hour's ride on the tram and the tube (streetcar and sub way) put us in front. of a dingy little auditorium on Goldington Street. A crimson banner pro claimed we were entering the Unity Theater, an amateur play house whose productions picture America as a land of warmon- v gering, baby-killing, blood huck sters and play up the Soviet Union as a dedicated defender of peace and a radiator of eternal bliss. A placard informed us that the purpose of the Unity Thea ter is "to foster the art of the drama in accordance with the principle that true art, by effec tively presenting and truthfully interpreting life as experienced by the majority of the people, can move the people io work for the betterment of society." Strangely enough, these "truthful interpreters of life" were determined that nobody should view their "effective presentation of art" except card carrying members of the Com munist Party or affiliated organi zations, which meant that I had to wait quietly outside while Clews (himself an avowed anti Communist) tiptoed backstage to execute his peculiar brand of gate-crashing magic. Clews has had an uncanny knack for being wnere he doesn't be long. He has travelled more extensively throughout the Com munist world than any other non-Marxist alive and he knows more international secrets than a Hungarian headwaiter. It was Clews who warned Bill Oatis to take the first train out of Prague months before the American correspondent was seized by the Czech police. It was Clews who gave His Majesty's government first-hand information on the Chinese military build-ups near the Manchurian border and again it was Clews who pre dicted the purge of Romanian boss Ana Pauker three weeks before the message came from .Moscow. He seems utterly immune to the cold war red tape and travel restrictions that plague the in quiring journalist in countries behind the Iron Curtain. Last summer he was sipping saki in a Peiping, China dope din after having been shown through the Kremlin by Moscow officialdom. Hotel stickers from Warsaw, Prague, and Budapest were still fresh on his suitcase as he waxed his skis at a Rumanian mountain resort last fall before going on to Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. Clews crosses the bayonet bor der of Germany and Czecho slovakia with anti-Communist documents easier than most of us can get across Orange County line with a fifth of Seagrams, so it came as no great surprise to me when he emerged a few minutes later with a pair of tickets in the front balcony. Inside we could hear a tired organ wheezing the strains of the Communist "International." A newsboy was selling copies of the London Daily Worker. An attractive brunette was busy thrusting Communist leaflets ' into eager hands. We gave her two shillings for popcorn and a program arid then marched "in to the crater of the volcano." (To Be Continued) Greetings 3 rt v tijSs -jCr"" Drew Pearson- The Washington Merry-Go-Round Washington. General Eisen hower is scheduled to speak in Baltimore tonight in clarifica tion of the reasons why he em braced some of the isolationists of the Republican Party and tolerated such extremists as Senator Jenner of Indiana and Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin. The inside story of the Gen eral's relations with this wing dates back to his first arrival in the U. S. shortly before the Chicago convention. At that time his personal prejudices were vigorously opposed to the GOP isolationists and extre mists. But his counselors, reminding him that he was a novice at politics, urged that he antago nize no one, but concentrate only" on the goal of winning the nomination. After he was nom inated, they said, there .would be time to do his political weed ing. That was why the General, in his maiden address at Abi lene, trod so delicately, em braced even the MacArthur wing of the party. But in Denver last Summer, Ike had another showdown with the extremists this time over McCarthyism. , His old friend Paul Hoffman had been asked to testify again st McCarthy and in defense of General George Marshall in the Benton-McCarthy Libel suit. Hoffman asked Eisenhower if the testimony would be embar rassing. Ike replied that it would not. He also indicated that he might testify against McCarthy himself. This leaked back to Authur Summerfield, Republican Natio nal Chairman, who immediately went intp a huddle with the General. Summerfield pointed out that if Eisenhower opposed McCarthy he would also have to oppose Senator Jenner. And if he op-' posed ! Jenner he would also have to oppose Senator Cain of Washington, who has consistent ly sided with McCarthy. Summerfield argued at length and convincingly. In the end Eisenhower concurred. When Ike got to Indianapolis, home of Senator Jenner, he ex perienced one of the most awk ward moments of his life. Jenner had made a speech on the Senate floor Sept. 15, 1950, calling George Marshall a "front man for traitors" and a "living lie." "Either he is an unsuspecting stooge or an actual conspirator with the most treasonable array of political ' cutthroats ever turned loose in the executive branch of the government," said the Senator from Indiana. Eisenhower no doubt remem bered, as he arrived in Indiana polis, how this same George Marshall had taken him to a map of North Africa early in World War II, without telling him anything about the pro posed North African invasion. - "What do you think of it?" Marshall asked. - "It looks O.K. to me," re plied the younger man. "You'd better think so," shot back Marshall, "You're going to be in command." Marshall, then chief of staff, Jiad promoted Ike up from lieu tenant colonel to lieutenant general in the space of about a year, sent him to North Africa, then on to England to com mand the greatest invasion army in history. And during the tug-of-war between Eisenhower and MacArthur as to whether Europe or the Pacific should get more material, Marshall always ' threw his weight to Eisenhower. So Ike, now running for president, was ushered into the same room with the Senator from Indiana who had called his friend and .benefactor a "front for traitors" and a "living lie." Marshall had been unable to defend himself when Jenner at tacked him, for speeches in the senate are beyond the reach of the courts or a libel suit. So Marshall's friends had hoped that General Eisenhower when he returned would -utter some word in his defense. However, he didn't. Perhaps he couldn't. Perhaps in the new role of politician he was too anxious to please his mentors, the men who coached him what to do and whom to greet. The "gentleman from Indiana" made the most of the General's embarrassment, holding up Ike's hand while the cameras clicked, getting in front of the photo graphers at every opportunity. Ike- moved over to another part of the platform, but Jenner fol lowed him. Finally the General sat down. Speaking later, he endorsed "all" the ticket in Indiana. Ike has another isolationist problem in Michigan, where Congressman. Charles Potter, now running for the Senate, is just the opposite of the late Senator Vandenberg, whose seat Potter is trying to win. Con gressman Potter voted against Eisenhower's Mutual Security funds at the very time Ike was in Europe trying to build up the defense against Communism . . . Governor Schricker of Indiana, now running for the Senate, is cutting the head of his ticket, Stevenson. He's leaving Adlai's name off the billboards . . . Eisenhower forces were all ready to oust Congressman Car roll Reece as the Republican leader of Tennessee. But after the Taft breakfast, they got a phone call to continue Congress man Reece in command . ' . . Eisenhower has a new ghost writer, Brigadier General Ro bert , Cutler. This makes five different teams of ghostwriters for Ike, one headed by C. D. Jackson of Fortune Magazine, another by Stanley High, who once wrote for Franklin Roose velt, another by Gabriel Hauge, another by Arthur Vandenberg, Jr. You'ng Democrats The following is written by a member of the campus Young Democratic Club. The Daily Tar Heel welcomes columns of a similar nature from campus or ganizations of any political com plexion. ED.) The Young Democratic Clubs of America welcome into mem bership all present and prospec tive members of the Democratic Party. The only requirement is an allegiance to the essential principles of the national Demo cratic Party. Like its senior counterpart, the YDC has an extensive heir arckical organization, extending in full form from the precinct, up through the county, congres sional district, and state levels to the national organization. While the YDC elects its own officers, and sets its own policies, free from dictation by the senior party, we maintain a close work ing relationship with the Demo cratic organization at all levels, bottom to top. Essentially, the object of the YDC is to bind together into an effective working organiza tion the younger Democratic voters and not-quite-yet voters. Within the clubs, people of like political views can get to know each other, and to join their energies and enthusiasms in working for the betterment of government, state, federal, or local. YDC serves as a training ground for all of those interested in political activity, whether as active participants in the great game of politics, or simply as voters who want to know- what goes on, and to have some part in it. ' Politics we look upon as the art (or business, if you will) ,of government, and we know that neither government nor politics will be any better than those participating. We accept the party system of American' poli-4 tics as both an existent fact and as the most effective means available for the maintenance of the strength and integrity of our democratic form of government. A voter can have influence on the selection of candidates for . most political offices, and sus--tained influence on the- course of political affairs, only through affiliation with and active par ticipation in one of the major parties. The independent can usually do no more than vote on the candidates presented for his consideration bv the estab lished parties, and thus such in fluence as he has is a single-shot affair, incapable of demanding of the candidate voted for that he Carry out his promise, once in office. We call ourselves Young Democrats because we have great respect for the accomplish ments of the Democrtaic Party over its century ana a nan oi striving for the well-being of all the American people, and because we have faith that it bears high promise of. the fur ther achievement of those goals which most of the American voters have ajudged desirable. While the YDC takes no offi cial part on one side or the other in party primary contests, it does seek impartially to get the candidates and their views as widely known to the public as possible. One of its particular concerns is to get the new first voters registered Democratic if possible, but registered any- Express Yourself Editor: The board of directors and the executive staff are extremely grateful of the generous con tribution made to the North Carolina Society for Crippled Children and Adults from funds made available through the spring campaign of the Campus Chest. These funds will go a long way in meeting some of the urgent needs of the many handicapped children of North Carolina. m To Mr. Allen Tate, Jr., chair-man-of the Campus Chest, his co-workers, and the entire stu dent body of the University of North Carolina, we extend our sincere appreciation. D. Hiden President Ramsey. way. There is of course, no re striction on the activities of members of YDC as individuals in support of any candidate or faction within the Party. Once the slate is chosen, the real work of the Young Demo crats begins. As believers in the necessity of political parties, the YDC as an organization supports - the Party ticket, once chosen. By its constitutions-national, state, and local-the YDC is committed to the backing of the ticket of the regular Democratic Party. We believe this is es sential to the maintenance of party responsibility and ac countability in government. It is not a slavish adherence to the ticket and the party, come what may. The exit is always open to those who nasically disagree with the Democratic Party or its candidates on fundamental issues. But we believe that only through a strong, active, alert, and forward-looking participa tion in the activities of the Democratic Party, can it be made and maintained as the instru . ment through which the people of the state and the nation can obtain the kind of self-govern-ment they deserve. The YDC here at Carolina will be resuming operations on Mon day night. We invite all of you who wish to share in its op portunities, and in the work which will go along with them, to join with us. Rolfe Neil! The Livespike Chapel Hill aborigines and their descendants make a cult of referring to and trying to preserve this place as the quaint village where the state teaches the arts and humanities and trains zealous young men in the healing sciences. No tree is axed, no house torn down that the fervent band doesn't start bewailing the passing of "the village." Louis Graves, venerable editor of the Chapel Hill Week ly, has been here most of the time since his barefoot days so it is natural that he should act as spokesman for this long-live-the-village congregation. In any week's issue usually there can be found some item referr ing to the diminishing village. So it was with surprise that we noted recently that Mr. Graves seemingly endorsed abolishing one of the customs that is the mark of any village community spreading of lunches under the old oak, aspen, sweet gum etc., trees. The Merchants Association here this fall is asking football visitors not to bring their lunches, but to eat at any of Chapel Hill's restaurants. Now this is an understandable point of view from the merchant, not, however, from Mr. Graves. In the news item he carried on it, the Weekly editor said in part: "For some years it has been the tendency of Chapel Hill's football crowds to arrive as late as possible, unpack and eat lunches on the streets and parking lots, and leave town as soon as possible after the game . . The remainder of the ar ticle is in a vein th.at does not endorse this practice. It is odd that should preside in "lunch on the grounds" surely Mr. Graves condemning University an event looked forward to by every visiting family and certainly one of the folksiest customs we have. At the 24th International Congress 'Against Alcoholism held recently in France, dele gates left behind them this wake of facts: The French spend 10 per cent of their average budget on drink. France has the world's largest percentage of alcoholics 22 per 1,000 inhabitants, while the U. S. has 10 and England but three. A Southern farmer traducing his family was m boys to the president. "Seventeen boys," he said, "All are Democrats, but John, the little rascal, he got to reading."
