Delaine Bradsher ....Wallace Pridgen Night Editor: Vardy Buckalew Lay That Vistoi Down George the Dog is back in the Y Court again. As a result of somebody's maladjusted B-B gun, George was forced to spend several days in a plastic surgery ward. But he's all right now,, except for a slight "misunderstood" complex. Now George wants it Renown that he does not have bull's eyes. He is not a member of the archery department,-nor is he on the psychology staff serving as the campus emotional outlet. As a matter of fact, George is in no way employed by the University. And he's not doing any of these things on his own time, either. - George is not a lion. He's just a good collie who has com mitted no campus offense which warrants the. firing squad. He may have barked at a few people in his time, but he didn't really mean anything by it. The University apologizes if they have not made it clear that dog-hunting is not among the extra-curriculars. Here are the rules: 1. THIS IS NOT THE DOG-HUNTING SEASON. 2. NO LICENSES WILL BE ISSUED BY THE UNIVER SITY FOR THIS PRIVILEGE NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. 3. NO LICENSES WILL BE ISSUED BY THE LOCAL, STATE, OR NATIONAL GOVERNMENT FOR THIS PRIV ILEGE NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. 4. PLEASE DO NOT SHOOT THE ANIMALS. Attention all contributors to George's hospital bill: You are making it possible for George to pay off somebody's debt to society. Many thanks for your interest in getting George out of the dog house. He only needs seven more dollars, so keep the donations coming in. Express Fascist Farber Editor: In his "Personally" column of the 15th, Mr. Farber advocates the immediate outlawing of the Communist Party, and the "de activating" of its leaders. Mr. Farber like any hysterical Ku Kluxer puts forward a simple program to clear the way for fascism. This suggestion would lead in actual fact to scuttling the Bill of Rights and depriving all citi zens of their civil liberties. Hit ler Germany put Mr. Farber's program in action. The Fascists there started by outlawing the Communist Party, then all op position to the government was silenced, and finally World War II came and the killing of six million Jews. Hitler's storm troopers also effectively "deac tivated" Communist leaders by such means as beating them to death and killing them in gas chambers. Don't be coy Mr. Far ber, let's have your suggestions. Why does ' Mr. Farber suggest that we deport the constitution. He says that the Communists in this country say that capitalism has to go. Well, they never made any bones about the fact thatx they believe that capitalism has run amok and is driving this country to war and economic and social ruin. It's common knowledge that Communists ad vocate socialism as the ultimate answer to the ills of capitalism and that they offer a practical program of peace, Negro rights and better living standards as immediate measures. He asks, "Has anybody seen Czechoslova kia lately?" It would be embar assing for Mr. Farber to answer the rhetorical question because even he can't escape the fact that Czechoslovakia is flourish ing economically and culturally and that the working people are running their country. Mr. Farber is obviously an "advanced thinker" in his pe culiar way. He is not satisfied that a climate of fear and in timidation is being created wholesale in this country. He is not satisfied with that same cli mate aptly described on this campus by Richard Murphy. Most native fascists are chortling with joy over the current "trials" of Communists. The Communist leaders are being ac cused, and tried for thinking, teaching and speaking. Their crimes as charged in their indictments are: Eleven indictments were for writing articles in the theoretical journal of the Communist Party, Sunday, October 19, 1952 ar BARRY FARBER ROLFENEILL JIM SCHENCK . BIFF ROBERTS News Ed. Circ. Mgr. ..Jody Levey ..Donald Hogg Soc. Ed. JDeenie Schoeppe Tom Peacock .Ned Beeker Asst. Spts. Ed. Adv. Mgr Myself "Political Affairs." Five are for writing articles in the Daily Worker. Five are for attendance at public meetings. Two are for attendance at committee meetings. Two are for attendance at classes. One is for leaving a building (35 East 12 Street, the headquar ters of the CP. nationally). One is for becoming a party organizer. Incidentally , because of in creasing pressure of public opin ion, the cases against two o'f these leaders, Simon Gerson and Isadore Begun have been dis missed by the trial judge. If Mr. Farber were a liberal, instead of a pro-fascist dema gogue, he would take his place alongside the truly fearless dem ocrats who at present call on the President for amnesty for the Communist leaders now in jail, the ending of all the "trials" now in progress, and the repeal of the Smith Act. Gladys Scales Ed. Note , (For the benefit of those who came in late, Gladys Scales is the wife of Junius, self-avowed Communist and editor of the "Fighter For Peace" publication which was recently circulated among many students of the University. I feel that this letter is an other manifestation of Marxist delusion and deceit. Our Consti tution was formulated to pro tect the rights and freedoms of American citizens but not to serve as a shield for those whose expressed goal is the overthrow of the system which protects the rest of us. Mrs. Scale's accusation that I am a Fascists stings me very deeply, as five of the six million Jews who drew their last breath on Hitler's gas were my close relatives. There's not a fascist corpuscle in my most perverted artery, which is precisely why I would like to see the Red bar rier to freedom unceremoniously eradicated. I reject the parallel Mrs. Scales draws between Nazi Ger many and my "pro-Fascist dem agogism." If you remember cor rectly, Hitler suppressed ALL. opposition parties without re gard to their character, beliefs, or political intentions. I seek to "de-activate" only that Party which, by its own admission, would suppress all others if they John Taylor Reviews And Previews The Happy Time For its first production of the season the Raleigh Little Thea tre is presenting "The Happy Time," a comedy by Samuel Taylor, based on short stories by Robert Fontaine. The show will end its run this evening. "The Happy Time" is the de lightful story of the Bonnards, a very ingratiating, but thor oughly amoral family of French- v Canadians, and of the effects of their varied and highly colorful escapades on Bibi, the adoles cent offspring of the family. The playwright is obviously very fond of the Bonnards and under stands them completely. He has brought them alive in a number of amusing incidents, sprinkled throughout the evening and has made them the basis of a thor oughly entertaining ' and heart warming play. The Little Theatre has given the show a more adequate pro duction, although it is not up to their usual high standard. The. acting ran the gamut from the very good to the very bad with most of the performances being in a class somewhere between the two limits. My nod for the . best work would go to Charles Kahn, as Uncle Louis, the lov able drunkard of the family. Al though he tended to overplay at times, he nevertheless gave a performance that left the audi ence in stitches. Running him a close second was George Hall, who had one of the most mag nificent drunk scenes I have ever seen. As the other Bon nards, Richard Jackson, Mike Cannon, Don Vinnik, Bill Als paugh, Bart Hickman, and Bet ty Dick all turned in generally able performances. The entire production seemed to lack pace and to drag in many places. I think this can be attributed more to the inexperi ence of some of the actors than to the direction of Ainslie Pryor. Dick Snavely's sets depicting a cheerful, lived-in looking living room and a conventional school office added a lot to the atmos phere of the play. I cannot give this production my unqualified recommendation such as it is worth but if you have nothing to do tonight, I think you might enjoy a. visit with the Bonnards. The perform ance begins this evening at 8 p.m. The tickets, which can be obtained by phone and also at the box office, cost $1.20 for stu dents and $1.80 for regular ad mission. but had the chance. I'm not the least bit embar assed to answer my own rhetori cal question, "Has anybody seen Czechoslovakia lately?" I haven't. My application for a visa to travel through that "Workers' Wonderland" was cat egorically denied by the Com munist "Bliss Boys." But - you don't have to eat a bad egg to know it's rotten. If conditions in Czechoslovakia are so agreeable, Mrs. Scales, tell me why hun dreds of gallant, democratic Czechs die impaled on the "Peo ples' " barbed wire in a futile effort to escape. Those that do manage to reach western Eu rope tell us a story about Marx ist oppression which runs some what incongruous to your own. The Czechs once had the great est little democracy in .eastern Europe .until somebody realized that a swift coup d'etat could easily shatter the glass jaw of a complacent, unvigilant democ racy. That's why I would like to slap a congressional ban on the Communist Party or the Fas cist Party or any other arty whose aims were to reduce the population of our country to cal culated slavery. Many of my fellow Americans join me in my denunciation of Communism but would hate to see the Party outlawed straight away because they feel that the CP. is merely a frustrated amal gamation of rabid malcontents who present no clear and pres ent danger to the foundations of our society. I disagree. I advocate the im mediate outlawing of the Com munist Party without apologiz ing to anyone or ignoring a sin gle facet of my liberal view point. Look at Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Bulgaria, Romania. Do you sincerely believe, Mrs. Scales, that the Red regimes, in those countries could survive a free democratic election? I do not seek to suppress the ideas generated by the Commu- Al House - Younq D emocrats Joe McCarthy, Chairman of the Senate Expenditures Com mittee; Joe Martin, "instead of i Sam Rayburn, Speaker of the House. Bob Taft, Jenner and Judd, directors of the adminis tration foreign and domestic policy and Richard Nixon pre siding over the Senate. That is what will result from a Repub lican victory, and every vote for Eisenhower is a vote for these men whom he has endorsed and who will hold a high place in his administration. How many of these so called "Eisenhower Democrats" have really thought of the conse quences of their voting for the Republican candidate. This is no mayoralty campaign, where you of course just vote for a single man; this is a campaign where you vote for an entire adminis tration to guide this nation for four years. A vote for Eisenhow er is a vote for a Republican ad ministration: a vote for Steven son is a 'vote for a Democratic administration.A true Democrat will vote for the Democratic ad ministration and to do otherwise is, in the words of Governor nominee Bill Umstead, "poor judgment and political hypoc risy." v These facts of the campaign are a matter of record and can not be refuted. Senator Bob Taft opposed the extension of the Soil Conservation Service, So cial Security, the G. I. Bill for Korean veterans, 90 parity prices for farmers, federal aid to education, public housing pro jects and public power develop ment. General Dwight Eisen hower said "I am in complete agreement with Senator Taft on domestic issues." Is Eisenhower a symbol of the "new progressive" wing of the Republican party? Was he not nominated by the same wing of the party that nominated Dewey in 1944 and 1948. Thereis a dis affection in the Republican par ty that cuts deep and sensitive. They cry. "Change" "change to what?", a struggling elephant that goes down stream with its ' parts pulling divers ways. The Republican party platform states: "We aim at 90 parity for farmers." General Eisenhow er says: "I am for 100 parity prices." Yet the Republicans in Congress have consistently voted against parity prices for farmers, and talk about a "sliding scale" of prices to be determined by a Republican Secretary -of Agricul ture. Whom shall we believe? General Eisenhower, the Repub lican platform, or the voting rec ord of the Republicans in Con gress. What are you receiving when you buy the Republican ticket in November, McCarthy, Jenner, Judd, et al included. Americans will think deeply be fore they turn to the party of reaction and fear. They hear them say" it's time for a change" but they answer back "a change to what?" Americans can find in Adlai nist Party, because they will wither upon exposure to the light of day. I merely urge that , we make ourselves aware of the time-tested tactics of world Communism and face the threat promptly and realistically so that our freedom might be pre served long after Stalin lies smouldering in his grave. Even a rat, by gnawing through a dike, can drown a nation. Barry Farber) gL?
