The State College football team last Saturday reached deep down into Basque legendry to re-enact the old epic in which a gallant warrior turned his back on a lesser foe and marched instead against the powerful enemie of his brother, who lay helplessly striken with the plague and therefore un able to defend his own honor upon the field of battle. Our garlands of gratitude go out to our Raleigh brethern who so willingly assumed our gridiron obligations against potent Georgia while we remained huddled within the polio-, threatened confines of Chapel Hill. No one could envisage a more noble manifestation of the time honored concept "Am I my brother's keeper?" Present But Not Leading We learned with regret of the resignation of affable Ed Etevens, Chi Psi legislator from Tarpon Springs, Florida, as floor leader of the University Party. "I just had my finger in too many pies," explains Ed, who, incidentally is licensed to preach in the Methodist Church. "Besides, I feel as though I can no longer represent the UP as their floor leader." For two years it has been our pleasure and delight to watch the lanky Floridian demand the floor and stride to the podium, arms akimbo, to inject sharp notes of sobriety and rationality into the usually disorganized and occasionally chaotic proceedings. Ed exercised a knack of distilling each issue down to its purest essence and presenting it straight forwardly minus obnoxious oratorical superfluities. Even when we found ourselves in diametrical opposition to the UP spokesman, we were soundly impressecLwith his sincerity and keen sense of fair play. Ed's abdication has stripped the UP legislative forces of their most effective, impelling, and conscientous front horse. Ham Horton Presidential Memo The Texans had a fine time in Chapel Hill. From all indica tions, North Carolina equalled even the hospitality the Texans showed us when we played on their home ground. In view of this it is unfortunate that one bad incident can destroy the ef fect of a thousand good ones.

Chapel Hill has always boasted of its hospitality and with good reason for Carolina students have heretofore re spected the obligations put upon them as hosts. And the vast majority still do.

I have just completed a two hour trip through the most heavily guarded Russian naval base in . Europe. For this seemingly extraor dinary feat I will get no medal from our government and I will not be hustled into a secret chamber of the Pentagon to re port to the high brass. I won't even appear on "We The Peo ple." The reason my adventure will pass without fanfare is not because the Russian naval base at Porkkula lacks military or human interest. It just so hap pens that anybody can do the same thing merely by going to the train station in Helsinki and asking for a third class ticket to Turku. A glance at any post-war map of Europe will show a small square blob of red jutting forth from the southern coast of Fin land. This crimson patch marks the Porkkula peninsula, for merly Finnish, which was "leased" to Russia for fifty years by the Russo-Finnish armistice of 1944. All trains passing through Porkkula are blindfolded at the Russian frontier by Soviet guards who hop aboard, drape black curtains over the win dows, and station themselves vigilantly at the end of each car. A sign, which would read "No Smoking" in America, is posted at each window bluntly warning that anybody who tries to peek will be shot. The Rus sians have kept their promise on several occasions. Thirty seven minutes after leaving Helsinki the train grunted to a halt beside a net work of barbed wire and candy striped poles which marked the border between Finland and the Military zone. The Russians de tached the Finnish locomotive and replaced it with one of their own. Before proceeding west ward from the border check point the train was meticulous ly inspected inside, under neath, and on top by frigid faced members of Stalin's police to make sure that all 'shades were drawn and nothing on board presented a threat to Soviet security. A tall blond officer entered the compartment and barked something akin to the Russian equivalent of, "You are now en tering Porkkula. You must stay in your places. All unpacked cameras will be smashed. Any "one trying to peer beyond the curtain will be shot. Welcome to the Soviet Union!" He seemed especially upset to see so many American college students on the train. It seems that the day before a young photographer from Brooklyn College, who had more nerve than knack, was caught trying to lower his camera down through a lavatory by a belt and snap a photo with a clev erly contrived wire tripcord. When we were ' halfway through the hoodwinked area, which the Finns call "the long est tunnel in the world," the Russian engine pitched into a steamy convulsion, . haltered, and broke down completely. A fireman came through the car lugging pieces of black machin ery. I approached the unsmil ing sentry at the end of the car and offered him a fresh Lucky Strike. His granite frown im plied "No Thanks." He did, however, give me a match which failed to light. I thanked him anyhow. The Marxian mechanics swarmed over the defunct loco motive and soon we were roll ing again. Forty-five minutes later a lengthy blast of the whistle announced our emer gence from Soviet Porkkula. The Russian vigilantes hopped off and the Finnish police ripped down the curtains. There were absolutely no words exchanged at any time between the Finnish trainmen and the Russian mili tary. Each played his well-rehearsed role of window drap ing and inspection in total pan tomime. A huckster came through the train selling sandwiches, coffee, and newspapers which told of the Russians protesting the violation of the Porkkula fron tier by a British aircraft the night before. The Moscow dis patch declared that Russian vigilance over the naval base, which had been relaxed during the Olympic Games to allow planes to circle over Helsinki in Everything Going iJrvr- rug usiTBt potr Drew Pearson The Washington Merry-Go-Round Los Angeles Here are the in side facts on General Eisen hower's book "Crusade in Europe," and the much-discussed capital-gains tax which the Bureau of Internal Revenue granted him. The ruling is estimated to have saved Ike in the neighborhood of half a million dollars. Later, Congress adopted an amend ment closing the loophole. After a preliminary talk with Internal Revenue, Eisenhower wrote a letter to Undersecretary of the Treasury Archibald Wig gins on Dec. 20, 1947 outlining the following facts: "Certain publishers have urged me to write a personal memoir of the war years. "The proposal is that the pub " lisher take in one transaction the complete bundle of rights. The sale would completely di vorce me from further control over the' manuscript. It would produce no further income to me. "I am not a professional writer in any sense of the word. "I am anxious to comply with every requirement of the law." Eisenhower then asked the question: "Will the Treasury Department regard this trans action as a capital gains or as income?" On Dec. 22, 1947 two days later which was extremely fast action for the Treasury, Com missioner of Internal Revenue Schoeneman gave Eisenhower a reply. Ordinarily a reply on a matter of this kind does not come for a month frequently longer. Schoeneman wrote that Eisen hower's book looked like a capi tal asset transaction, but pointed out that Ike would have to hold the completed manuscript six months after its completion be fore selling it, if he was to get a capital gain. Seven days later, on Dec. 29, Donald Richberg, a partner of Ambassador Joseph E. Davies who first suggested the capital gains tax to Eisenhower, wrote commissioner Schoeneman: "I am acting as volunteer ad viser to General Eisenhower in regard to his memoirs." Richberg then proceeded to raise some technical questions about the capital-gains tax,' ap parently to make sure that Ike's contract with the publishers would contain the clause nec essary to insure a capital-gains tax. The General then waited near ly a year. In this time the book was completed, and, after com pletion, it was held six addi tional months. Then he wrote another letter to Internal Re venue. Commissioner Schoene man replied, Dec. 7, 1948: "You state you completed 'Crusade in Europe' on March bad weather, would again be enforced "in full measure." Thirty miles to the east in Olympic Stadium athletes from Russia were engaged in broth erly competition with runners and wrestlers of seventy other nations. But the boys at Pork kula were not playing gamss. Along Roughly?" 4 1 24, 1948, that you held the manu script and all rights for more than six months after comple tion, and that on Oct. 1, 1948 you sold the book to Doubleday and Doran, Inc. . . All rights to the book. "In view of the above you request that the gains be classed as long-term capital gains. "This office will recommend the approval of a closing agree ment on the following basis: "The manuscript entitled 'Crusade in Europe' completed by you on March 24, 1948, was a capital asset within the mean ing of Sect. 117 (A) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the amount of $635,000 received by yo uupon the sale of the manu script constitutes a long-term capital gain."v ; """" It has been carefully hushed up, but South Africa has threatened to pull her troops out of Korea. The reason, far removed from Korea, is racial segregation. The threat will be carried out, Premier Malan has warned, if the United States supports the Arab demand for an investiga tion of racial segregation in South Africa. The loss of the South African troops would have little effect on U.N. military strength in Korea. But it would be the first break in the united front, and a severe psychological blow. Inside story is that the Arab nations including also India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Burma have asked the United Nations to investigate the South African policy of "Apartheid," or dis crimination against nonwhites. This is a hot domestic issue in South Africa, so, in an effort to block the U.N. investigation, Premier Malan has resorted to diplomatic blackmail, threaten ing to pull his troops out of Korea and. embarrass the United States before the world if we support the Arab move. The issue is still hanging over the heads of the American dele gation at the United Nations. It hasn't leaked out to the pub lic, but Russia has turned Korea over to the Chinese Communists as a "military protectorate." This was the chief result of the Sino-Russian talks in Mos cow last month. The Chinese growing increas ingly lukewarm over the Korean War and have been looking for a face-saving way out. So Russia, anxious to keen Ameri can military strength tied down in Korea, agreed to turn Korea over to the Chinese as a con cession. In addition, the Krem lin promised to step Hip military supplies to the Chinese. The results of the Moscow agreement are already beginning to show on the front, where the North Korean units are be ing withdrawn and formed into supporting units for the Chinese. What all this adds up to is that Korea, in the Communist scheme of things, is now a pro vince of Red China. In other words, even the satellites are acquiring their own satellites now. -Harry NO N Nonplus recently used a dia logue to reflect the general im pression left by the infirmary upon many students. Larry Spooner, whose clever retort in dialogue was printed in Sun day's paper, doesn't think much of the column's case against socialized medicine. It wasn't much of a case. The main objective of Nonplus was to focus public attention on the infirmary's uncooperative atti tude toward students. Quite a few persons have cor roborated a very real situation. The unanimous opinion, in so many words, was that the in firmary personnel should be re orientated as to their purpose in existing. Nonplus will, in the near fu ture, take a full stand on the important and complex issue, of socialized medicine. Were Carolina students show ing their faces or another part of their anatomies when they jeered a fallen Texas player at the one game thus far? A handful of sportsmen shamed and shushed the con certed and blood-thirsty cheer that began developing in the card section. Further light was shed on stu dent behavior when it became apparent our new cheerleader was brand new and not very apt at his job. Students set up a chant for "Nose" and. got him, then really delivered the goods for him. The manner in which all of this was accomplished made the student snub of the cheerleader unquestionable, was they who elected the boy was htey who elected the boy to lead them in Kenan reverb erations. Maybe more attention will be paid the election q an- Express Speakers Editor: I take rather serious excep tion to letter printed in your columns recently. The writer not only attacked the judgment of the board who invited speak ers to Chapel Hill, but in two case he directly attacked my own choice. I have, unlike our pros pective McKinley, voted in the past for both F.D.R., Jr. and for Senator Lehman. I have also voted for Senator Ives, and was pleased to see that the invita tion committee "split its ticket" as I did. I would suggest that our re cipient voter take to reading something other than the Luce publications, (his attempts at vituperation are typically Time ish), and attempt to develop his judgment so that when, in six or seven years, he is called upon to vote, he may do so intel ligently. Martin Roeder Dept. of Zoology, U.N.C. Down Memory Lane Editor: Mind if I reminisce for a short moment? I can't help it after today's edition of the al leged Daily Tar Heel. I remember your making a statement to me just before or after spring elections, 1952, which I quoted in one of my columns to the effect that you were Independent. I don't know just what this meant to you, but I took it to mean and reported it in that respect that you were without party ties and biases. But then, we all make mistakes, don't we? So, ' in direct refer ence to the write-up of the Oc tober 2nd Legislature meeting, and in general reference to pre vious write-ups of Legislature meetings, what do you mean by referring to yourself as "Inde pendent?" Next on my "Memory Lane" fiasco, I discover in my collec tion of old Daily Tar Heels this quote from one of your first edi torials, "We still need a cosmic Thought Leader. . . ." If such a paragon actually lives and breathes here in Chapel Hill, let him come immediately to the office of the Editor and assume his role of "Opinion Molder." Obviously you found this much sought-after "Opinion Molder." You go on to say in that edi torial, "Otherwise you will have to rely on our honesty, sincerity, Snook PlUS other head cheerleader next spring. Crowding of seats was more pronounced than usual at the: Texas game. But it takes more than ordinary gall to do what one fellow tried when confront- ed by a four-some with tickets for seats he and his friends were occupying. "Someone else is in our seats," the lad said, "and we're not going to give up these until they get out of ours." The Great Silence has de scended upon the American people. Even when controver sial issues such as the Korean War develop, there's always one to insist that you can't question our leaders because they're the only ones with the facts. But the lowest layman with the least facts better adopt the best position he can and argue like hell for it. When public pressure builds .up against a government policy, either the government provides facts to substantiate its position or it drops the matter. That's democratic action. In Hitler's Germany, Musso lini's Italy, Franco's Spain, Peron's Argentina, Tito's Yugo slavia"" and Stalin's Russia the people have their governments' facts, too. The difference be tween those countries and ours is that we are still free to ex press our opinions in the most convincing manner possible. A clash of opinions over con flicting "facts" is the surest and safest way to get near the truth, for the simple reason that proof is forced. Freedom is assured as long as there's argument among the people, in Congress, between presidential aspirants. Yourself and common sense to give you the paper you deserve." Instead of commenting on that with my own descriptive phrases, I will simply quote about a dozen "In dependent" fellow students I have talked with today: "The Daily Tar Heel made the Uni versity Party look like a Savior of Mankind today, didn't it, Bill?" In writing this letter I am hoping the slanting your paper has been guilty of has been purely unintentional. If so, I hope I have in seme way con tributed to opening your eyes. Bill C. Brown S. P.
