Night Editor for this issue: John Jamison ' No Cause For Alarm . . The University yesterday took prompt action in canceling its next two football games when four athletes, one a football nlaver, were diagnosed as having polio. . ., P Before this action was taken Dr. Hedgpeth, University physician, consulted some of the most eminent medical opin ions in the world, who were unanimous in their recommenda tion that the Georgia and State games be dropped and the intramural program temporarily curtailed. The Daily Tar Heel reemphasizes that there is at present no cause for alarm. These drastic measures were implemented so that the situation could be effectively arrested before spreading to hazardous proportions. The medical authorities of the University advise the students to adhere to three cardinal principles of polio con- trl. Don't overexert, yourself. A run down physical condi tion wields less resistance against the polio virus. Get plenty of rest and follow common hygienic procedures. 2. Don't leave Chapel Hill unless absolutely necessary for the next two weeks. (Until the period of incubation is past.) This is to t prevent the virus from spreading outside the community. 3. Accept the situation as a matter of. fact. Follow your daily routine without radical changes and rest assured that the best modern medical facilities will be constantly available. We feel the students owe a debt of gratitude to the admin istration and the University physicians whose swift reaction has ensured maximum protection for all concerned. Now Hear This The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has issued advice to communities where polio exists. First of all, the foundation suggests that students, continue to, associate with their usual companibns. They have already been exposed to whatever polio virus may be in that group, and they may have developed immunity against.it. , Secondly, all health habits should be observed carefully. Polio virus may be carried through the mouth so dirty drink ing glasses and other unsanitary conditions should be avoided. General physical condition should be kept in tip top shape. Headaches, fever, sore throats, upset stomachs, tenderness and stiffness of the neck and back should be brought to the attention of a physician. Anyone showing such symptoms should be put to bed and separated from others in the same house. Fatigue and chill lower resistence to disease and should be avoided. The Foundation adds that Polio time is the time to stay at home and not to leave the community without good cause. iz I 15 'A 2.1 22. 23 'A Z4 25 P5 So 31 54 35 SS 4S 46 SO 51 54 HORIZONTAL 1. engrossed 6. artificially produced . .

You've read news stories and seen pictures of Russian, Czech, and Polish sport stars smiling, waving handerchiefs, helping crippled veterans across the street (veterans of the Russo Finnish War), and inviting all the boys from America, Britain, and France out to big "love' thy neighbor" orgies at the Soviet Olympic headquarters. This makes good reading, but unfortunately all candy-coated claims of Communist cordiality are as phony as the Bill Oatis " trial. In the first place, the Rus sians refused to let their athletes live in the official Olympic Vil lage, which the Finns built es pecially for the Games and ' where all the non-Marxist ag gregations are happily quart ered. Instead the Hammer and Sickle boys rented a cozy lay--out at Otaniemi, twenty miles outside Helsinki, where foreign ers are strictly forbidden with out special permission. There the Soviet athletes are shielded by their overseers and allowed to mingle' only with other Com munists except at special ban quets where everybody eats, sings, poses for Pravda, and then goes home without ever having the chance to ask one of the beaming Muscovites what happened to Litvinov or who started what in Korea or how the folks in Dnepropetrovsk feel about atomic control. At one such house party the Russian toastmaster rose after the final helping of filet mignon and bid a rousing welcome to the American yacht crew, tell ing them it was a pleasure to . feed them and reminding them to extend Soviet sympathy to the underprivileged workers of America. The exploding flash bulbs caught the Yanks politely applauding. The next morning Moscow papers ran the pictures with a story proclaiming "American Athletes Denounce Imperialism, Aggression, and Germ Warfare." The Communist delegations live under the constant surveill ance of political "coaches," the secret police, and each other. They are warned that any at tempt to escape to Sweden, or even "uncalled for" association with outsiders, would result in punishment for themselves and their families. Nobody here has seen any Soviet athletes walk ing the streets of Helsinki in groups of less than six. But in a town as small as Hel sinki complete isolation is im possible. Boys from opposite sides of the. Iron Curtain meet every day on street cars, in de- partment stores, and in practice gymnasiums. The boys them selves seem quite willing to fra ternize with Westerners,' but the language barrier plus the NKVD scotches most attempts to con verse at 'length or exchange ideas. One handsome Czech swimmer frankly apologized to me that "due to unfortunate conditions" he was unable to give me an interview. Yesterday I managed to get permission to interview two young girls on the Bulgarian gymnastic squad, provided I confined my questions to the Olympics and refrained 'from delving into politics. Their poli tical coach was a vast waddle of womanhood built like a first baseman who hovered around us intently absorbing my every syllable. I asked them what their names were and how they , liked Finland. Everything was lovely until I asked the two blushing Bulgar ians if they would be allowed to travel through western Europe after the Games, like the teams from other nations. The eves dropping coach grabbed the girls by the nape of the neck like a mother cat protecting her baby kittens from the evil bull dog. She screamed that I had asked a political question, tore up my pass, and had me bounced from the premises by the civil police. Strip rev,' ivrr-- - f . J3;. :l'.x;-v';l. Drew Pearson The Washington Merry-Go-Round WASHINGTON In 1946 when this columnist exposed the stock market manipulations of Senator Elmer Thomas, Demo crat of Oklahoma, I suggested to Senator Wayne Morse, Republi can of Oregon, that he intro duce legislation requiring every member of Congress to file with the securities and exchange com mission a statement of his gifts, stocks, bonds, commodities and the clients of his law firm. $ Senator Morse, a Republican, introduced such legislation. The only other senator who strongly favored such a move was Sena tor Glen Taylrfr of Idaho, a Democrat, and he put his name on the bill as co-sponsor. Though I talked ..to several other senators who expressed sympathy, none except Aiken of Vermont and Sparkman of Ala bama were willing to support the bill. Since then, Senator Morse, though still for the bill, has frequently kidded me about the way I got him in wrong with his colleagues. The bill, I regret to say, did not pass. Had it passed the "Affair Nixon" would not have happened, since his gifts and any operations by his law part ners would have been a matter of public record. The advantage of making this . a public record, of course, is to let the voters back home judge whether or not a senator's vote is influenced by those who may have contributed to him or his law firm. I still believe that such a bill should be passed together with an increase in congressmen's salaries. I also believe that every candidate for president and vice president should make available to the public his income, net worth,s nature of his property, gifts, etc., And to that end I shall in future columns attempt to diagnose the financial back grounds of General Eisenhower and Governor Stevenson; Sena tor Sparkman and Senator Nix on. It would be much better from the public's point of view to have the financial back ground of all four candidates scrutinized by either a senate committee or an impartial, non partisan group. Senator Nixon in his telecast report to the na . tion suggested that Stevenson and Sparkman should subject themselves to financial exami- nation, which is a good idea. But he omitted Eisenhower. He also reported on his own financial affairs. But a report by one man about himself is a lot different from a Senate in-" vestigation, and, unfortunately, Senator Nixon omitted certain facts about his Senatorial ca reer which may have a bearing on his finances. For instance, Nixon's law partner, Thomas Bewley, hap pens to. be Secretary of an in teresting $12,000,000 company which plans , to build seamless pipe in . California, the Western Tube Corp. The man really be hind this corporation is a Rou manian, Nicola Malaxa, regard ing whom there has been consid erable controversy as to whe ther he is pro-communist. The reason for this suspicsion is that Congressman Keating of New York, a Republican, and Congressman Walter of Perm- Poker -miu.il w. .,,..,, i-vy -. fcFVffli sylvania, a Democrat, both have objected vigorously to let ting Malaxa reside permanent ly in the U. S. It has been point ed out during this controversy that Malaxa enjoyed excellent relations with the communists after the Soviet occupied Rou mania, and was one of the few industrialists who got the Soviet to return three of his factories, seized under a previous Rou manian regime. The Communist Government, it was charged, even paid him half a million dollars for the profits he could have made du ring the period these factories were taken from him. It was also charged that Mal axa sent jewelry to Ana Pauker, former Communist boss of Rou mania, and finally "was able to get $2,400,000 out of Roumania. This year, however, Senator Nixon interceded for Malaxa, and through his friend Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada and his friend Congressman Pat Hill ings of California who took Nix on's place in Congress, Malaxa's name was placed on a bill giv ing him permanent residence in the U. S. and urged for passage. The bill passed the Senate, but when it got to the House of Representatives, Congressmen Walter and Keating struck off Malaxa's name, though Hillings of California did his best to re instate it. As far as the human aspects of the case are concerned, I be lieve Nixon was right. Malaxa got caught in a cross-fire of a cross-fire of controversy be tween different Roumanian groups, and is paying the pen alty. However, the interesting thing is whether Senator Nixon, who has been very suspicious of any one who associated with Com munists, was influenced by charity or by other motives. Why did he go so far in trying to help Malaxa? The answer could be that Ma laxa was smart in getting Nix on's former law firm into the picture. Not only is the former Nixon firm attorney for Malaxa and his steel company in Whit tier, California, but one law partner, Bewley, is secretary of the company, while Nixon has done an important favor for the firm in a federal tax case. On May 16, 1952, Malaxa's company applied to the Nation al Production Authority for a certificate of necessity to build the Seamless Tube Factory in which Nixon's former law part ner is an officer. A certificate of necessity shows that the plant is so important to the . defense of the nation that the company can get its depreciation allow ances increased, and thus write off the cost of the plant in live years Or so. However, the National Pro duction Authority apparently did not think Malaxa's Tube Corporation was too essential to the defense because no tax reduction certificate was grant ed. At this point, however, Sen ator Nixon, whose former law partner was involved, got busy. He wrote a letter to Manly Fleischmann, NPA Administra tor, telling him how essential Malaxa's plant was to Califor nia. The letter was written in Nix- Express Yourself Editor: The list of speakers slated for the Carolina Forum, in my hum ble Republican estimation, stinks. Already on the list are "I Wanta Be President" Estes Ke fauver, "Queen" Eleanor Roose velt and that great blabber mouth from the wheat fields of Minnesota, Hubert Humphery. Possible entrants are Herbert Lehman, "The Brat" Rosevelt, Jr., William Benton, Anna Ros enberg and other assorted les ser lights of the ultra-liberal hue. Why doesn't the chairman of the Forum replace Senators Ives, McCarthy, and Lodge with "Soapy" Williams, Blair Moody, and Senator Robert Morse and go whole-hog in converting the students on the Carolina campus to the latest brand of good gov ernment "socialism, Americans for Democratic Action style." On top of this, we have to stomach Drew Pearson every morning if we dare look at the editorial page of your paper. But never fear my vote will . not be changed. I'm not old enough.

Carolina students may awak en some morning to find the walls of Old East or South Building crumbling about them from sheer weight of age, but at least they don't have to wor ry about an earthquake. Not true of some students at the University of California, ac cording to an article appearing in Friday's Daily Californian, the university's student news paper. According to California pro fessor of geology, Norman E. A. Hines, the earthquakes in sou thern California this summer may have had a loosening ef fect on the Hayward Fault, an earth displacement. The bad thing about this is that the so-called Hayward Fault runs through the Berkley hills right under the Universi ty's Chemistry and radiation laboratories. And this loosen ing of the fault could Jesuit in a serious earthquake. Geologist Hines left the curi osity and apprehension of the University students more or less hanging in the balance when he told them, "we can't tell when or where (an earth quake) may take place." It has been 90 years, accord ing to the Daily Californian, since the Hayward Fault gave any trouble. And "the longer an area goes without a shock," said the professor, further add ing to the dilemma, "the more likely it is to, have one, as a general rule." Ed Yoder on's office, and on the station ery of Nixon's , committee, the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee. However, to streng then his position, Nixon got his senior colleague from Califor nia, William Knowland, to sign the letter also. This letter did the trick. The application for tax reduction had lain in NPA files for four months, but after receipt of the letter, the NPA acted within a few days. Malaxa's firm got a tax reduction of 60 per cent on $10,229,667. Jerico Rolfe Neill The Livespike Orientation, that very useful instrument by which . freshmen are innoculated with "University, has just parsed. The newcomers got the Carolina facts of life from students who already had put in time here. The counselors themselves were selected by a screening committee of 15 which was ap pointed by President Ham Hor ton. On that selection commit tee of 15were eight fraternity' men (including . the chairman) and three sorority girls, and two independent girls and two in dependent boys. In other words, 11 to 4. Even, the most acrimonious critics of the UP-run orienta tion program seem to admit that Chairman Bob Gorham ran a fine program this fall. I cer tainly think so. However, take a good gander at the following figures: (Legend: Organization is name of group; No. App. is number of each group asking for counselors applying; No. Slct. is number of the group who got counselor's jobs, and Comm. is number of people from each group on the coun selor selection committee.)

Also, I should think that the other two Jewish fra ternities will raise a big "tsim mus" over the fact that only the ZBT's had men selected. Those are the facts. Lost and Found Has Collection Of Various Items "We have everything in the lost and found department from a checkbook from an Oxford bank to a tie clasp," a repre sentative of the YMCA Informa tion office said yesterday. The YMCA office, campus headquarters for lost and found property, has found the follow ing articles since the beginning of school: One green Sheaffer pen, one pair of girl's brown horn rim glasses, one black Ritepoint pen cil with the name "William F. Brown" engraved, one ronson lighter with the initials "ZCB", one pair of girl's horn rim glass es with no case, one identifica tion bracelet with the name "J. M. Harrington" engraved, one book on Modern Business En glish with the name W. M. Par ker on the cover, one tie clasp, ' and one room key. Polio Continued from -page 1) for the time being. Physical edu cation classes and light practice by all varsity teams will continue, however. President Gordon Gray and Chancellor R. B. House, alor with health officials, said the measure was taken to prevent further spread of the disease. They emphasized there is no cause for alarm. It was pointed out that so far this year Orange County has had only eight polio cases as corn pared with 12 last year and 20 in 1950. Y Leaders' Group To Meet Today The YMCA leadership training day will be held this weekend r.t Camp New Hope. Under the supervision of Br and Mrs. Richard Skretting ci the School of Education, confer ences will be conducted on grcv? leadership.
