In fact, whoever thought of spoiling Saturday afternoon with a football eame ih the first place? "They said my father was an 'economic menace'," laughed the Ukranian. "That's the Communist term for 'successful business man.' " - When Alex was born his father and mother were both workers in their own factory. He was en couraged by his school teachers to report if his parents showed any "deviationist tendencies" around the supper table. An uncle disappeared when he was caught "seeking to undermine the state socialist structure;" (i.e. re marking to a friend that the five-year-plan was so much hogwash.) In early 1940 Alex was mobi lized into a student work brigade to stack sandbags along the Fin nish border. "For vacations they let us stack sandbags along the Romanian border," beamed Alex. "It's much warmer down there." When the Germans came to Kiev they took Alex and his family to a concentration camp near Munich. He dismissed this phase of his blighted life with one sentence. "Only the lucky ones died." In 1945 the war ended, or, as Alex put it "Peace broke out." The Americans were able to do little or nothing to improve the conditions for the Russian pri soners and many more died in the winter of '46 when the food sup ply failed. "One day a Russian officer came into our compound and told us a train was waiting in Vienna to take us back to our homes in Russia," says Alex. "Everybody thanked him just the same but nobody went. Then an American sergeant told us we had better go home because chances were slim that we could ever get per mission to enter the United States. Still nobody went. It was a good chance to take." Alex is a good Russian. Soon he'll be a better American. 12. 15 IS 25 SO 54 Z4 41 47 5o B5 42 21 45 A 58 5S 16 y777a 32 z 4g A SI W7X A 2b 44 54 22 A 3? a 17 4 20 'A 77? ssss 2 A 14 33 40 27 S7 49 52 55 to 28 45 11 2?

I"? -l r i ' i A f' h : SCHOOL , , ''S : v' iff 'r'"'" M Drew Pearson The Washington Merry-Go-Round EN ROUTE THROUGH THE WEST. In an earlier column on Senator Nixon's secret expense fund it was shown how he voted right down the line for the leg islative measures which his 76 millionnaire givers favored. The second question to be ex amined is whether Senator Nix on also used influence with the federal government on behalf of his Nixon Expense Club. In his broadcast to the nation Nixon said he had not. A few days later, however, the St. Louis Post Dispatch unearthed the fact that Dana Smith, the lawyer who collected the $18,000 for Nixon, had used Nixon's influ ence through his administrative assistance to try to get a $500, 000 tax refund from the govern ment. It is a penitentiary offense for any member of Congress to intervene in a case against the government for pay. A Senator is paid by the United States government and is supposed to represent the government alone. Hence the law. He is not Sup posed to be paid by outsiders, and other members of Congress have gone to jail for accepting money when they intervened in cases against the federal gov ernment. The tax refund claimed by Dana . Smith against the U. S. government is an illustration. Dana Smith, the man who got Nixon's office to intervene, not only had paid Nixon personally but raised $18,000 for him. Today the federal government plays such an important role in the operation of any business firm, and business firms in turn seek so many concessions or con tracts from the government, but it becomes risky to have a man in the Senate who is subsidized by a group of businessmen. Take, for instance, the list of Nixon's Millionnaires Club and the concessions of contracts they have with the government. Here are some of them: Charles E. Ducommun, a Los Angeles steel dealer got a 50 per cent tax amortization write off on a new $265,655 warehouse It is not known where Nixon or his office helped. Such matters are kept con fidential by the Defense Pro duction Administration and sometimes not even recorded. Earl Jorgensen and Company got a 75 per cent tax write-off on forging equipment, Sept. 20, 1951; another 60 per cent write off on $227236 on July 19; an other 50 per cent write-oft on $343,500 on Feb. 4, 1952. It is not known that Nixon or his office helped get these write offs. Jorgensen is a giver to the Nixon fund. Clayton Manufacturing Co., got a 90 per cent tax write-off on dynometers costing $38,106 in March 1951 and an 80 per cent write-off on $171,330 on steam cleaners in July 1951. Both Ben jamin Clayton and his son Wil liam are givers to Nixon's ex penses. K- T. Norris, ammunitions manufacturer, got a 75 per cent tax write-off on $199,650 in Sep tember 1951. He is a donor to Mr. Nixon's expenses. Even more important, the Norris Company has defense contracts totaling $54,000,000 with the army and navy. Nor ris leases one plant from the government at Riverbank, Calif., also operates plants of his own, where he manufactures 57 mil limeter shells, 75's, 90 millime ters, 105s and 155's. Whether Senator Nixon has used any in fluence with any members of the Defense Department regard ing these contracts is something I have not been able to ascer tain. But it's an unhealthy prac tice for any company doing busi ness with the government to be subsidizing a Senator. Herbert Hoover, Jr., has an important contract with the fed eral government to explore for oil in the oil regions in Northern Alaska. He is president of the United Geophysical Co., which has signed the Alaskan contract with the Navy. United Geophy sical is a wholly owned subsid iary of Union Oil, of which Hoover is not only a director but holds 30,249 shares valued at $1,2000,000. Hoover is a con tributor to the Nixon fund. W. Herbert Allen is vice pres ident of theTitle Insurance and Trust Co., which underwrites the oil leases of the big companies operating out m the Tidelands Oil Area. If these leases should be outlawed, then Mr. Allen's company might be left holding the bag for about $49,000,000. Mr. Allen is a contributor to the Nixon funds. Arthur S. Crites of Bakers field is an applicant before the federal government for a min eral land permit in Southern California. To get such a per mit accepted, a little influence sometimes is helpful. Crites is a member of the Nixon Expense Fund Club. Crites is also Vice President of the Bakersfield Home Build ing Association and Secretary and Director of the Kern Coun ty Mutual Building and Loan Association. It so happens that Nixon's record in the Senate has been made to order for the mutual Savings Banks and Building and Loan Associations. When the Senate voted on Ed Yoder NONPLUS He was tried in secrecy. The charge was somthing brand new. No one had ever been told that the "crime" of which he was accused was a violation of any rules. No es tablshed procedure Was used by the "court" in hearing the case. The powerful group was bound by no codification of offenses and penalties. This secret conclave found him guilty and caused a black mark to be placed against him that would not be erased. Sounds like Communist "jus tice," doesn't it? But, in actual fact, it is the kind of justice dished out by the Men's Council of the Uni versity of North Carolina. You are subject to it, whether you like it or not. And this Council has the power to suspend you from this University as it has suspended many. No matter how false the charge against you, this court may force you to appear for trial. The Council has trumped up its own charge in some cases! It browbeats you into saying nothing to anyone about the matter. It tries you in secret, using whatever procedure happens to strike its fancy. You can't have a friend to serve as attorney or adviser the Council will let one of its own members act in your "defense." You are assumed guilty un til proved innocent if you can't prove your own innocence, you've had it, brother. No one .has to prove that you're guilty. And if you're found guilty, you may get twice the sentence another got for a similiar of fense. You may get half of what the last guy got. It depends upon how the Council members feel. What they had for lunch. How much they know of you and how well you're liked. Or whether the time has come to set an ex ample. Because of the secrecy, their mistakes are never subject to scrutiny by the students at large whom they supposedly re present. There is a "reason" for this secrecy, some insist. A stu dent who is found guilty is put under no social stigma; even if suspended for a quarter or so, he may still return without be ing marked for his offense. What a perfect set-up for the cheats on campus! And what a menace to those falsely ac cused! The student body has no control over any antics their court may choose to indulge. An innocent man labeled guilty by such shoddy justice has no safe guard. Think about it. What do you know about the operation of your own court in any of the cases tried? You don't know who's been tried or whether he's been fairly tried. You don't know who has been convicted, in your name, of an offense against you, the student body! It is literally true that, with in the court system, a student was tried and convicted when he didn't know even that he had been accused. The first this student heard about the whole business was when he was told of his sentence! Dean of Students Fred Wea ver once explained just how far the Men's Council could go if it wished. (The administration is very interested in the courts, since 99 of all cases are based on faculty or administration complaints. ) Weaver used the following example: If you, while on vacation in some place far removed from Chapel Hill, were accused of a law violation, tried and found plugging some of the loopholes in the tax bill, Nixon voted for the Capehart Amendment which actually widened one loophole by permitting mutual savings banks and building and loan as sociations to exempt their re serves from taxation up to 10 per cent. innocent of a law violation, the Men's Council can haul you be fore it and try you again, h in secrecy and at its own whim! It's a farce and a dangerous one. But you can do something about it. In Our Churches BAPTIST: Sunday, 9:45 a.m. student Bible class taught by Dr. P. H.

Express Yourself Editor: In Mr. Snook's article, "The Battle of Sex," I believe he missed the point of marriage. That is, of course, if the article were not a satire, which I do not belive it was meant to be. The point I believe Mr. Snook missed is that marriage is an intimate affair and that their are certain intimacies which should be reserved for it. These intimacies are not to be found in the Semi-Free Love Society pictured by Mr. Snook.
