Capitalists Needed
The North Carolina State Student Legislature will meet
at the Capitol in Raleigh, November 20-22 (adjourning in time
for the Duke-Carolina game.)
To all students interested in the legislative aspect of state
government, experience in parliamentary procedure and pub
lic speaking, and anybody who has some ideas that need to
be heard, this government school of thought is your cam
paign for improvement headquarters. An organization which
represents most of the colleges and universities in the state,
SSL invites 21 delegates to represent this campus: three Sen
ators from each school, and the rest in House membership on
a population basis.
A Speaker of the House and President of the Senate are
elected to preside. The executive branch is similar to the
British Parliamentary system in that the President of the
Interim Council (comparable to the parliamentary cabinet of
ministers) is composed of members from either of the two
houses, and Interim Council president is elected by joint
session of both houses. The work of the Assembly is carried
on between sessions by the Interim Council.
Every member school proposes two bills to be considered
by both houses of the Assembly. Each delegation decides on
its own bills which can be on student, state, national or in
ternational affairs.
University ' delegates will be selected today from 4:30 to
six p.m., and tomorrow from 8 to 11 p.m. in the Men's Council
Room at Graham Memorial.

Going Backward
The statement of Gordon Gray, president of the University
of North Carolina, that he thinks the ban on "bowl" football
games by members of the Southern Conference may be a
"wrong approach" and that participating in post season games
might well be left to each individual institution has grave
implications.
Certainly, if this plan is carried out there would be few
matters that could not, be left to each institution and the
usefulness, if not the existence, of the conference would be
doomed.
President Gray led the movement to impose the ban. He
also led the movement for presidents of member institutions
to exert their influence in shaping actions of the conference.
It so happens that the ban on "bowl" games is the only im
portant recommendation of the presidents that has been
adopted without material alteration, always on the side of
laxity. Freshmen are still playing on Southern Conference
"varsity" teams and even such a mild restriction as limiting
squads for a single game to 40 players was interpreted to
apply only to games involving two conference members.
If an intercollegiate conference is to abdicate jurisdiction
over post season games, what jurisdiction can it logically
claim? As a matter of fact the conference exercised jurisdic
tion and required institutions playing in such games to ob
tain permission of the conference long before the present
complete ban was imposed.
If there is a retreat iri this matter, the presidents instead
of carrying the conference forward, will actually have carried
it backward.

United Nations Day is this
Friday. Its purpose is to help
the American people appro
priately observe the birthday of
the United Nations. Behind this
day's existence lies the work of
the National Citizens' Commit
tee for UN Day, set up by the
United States Government in
1948 in response to a General
Assembly resolution, and dedi
cated to the task of increasing
knowledge about and under
standing of the United Nations
by the American Public.
On this campus UN Day will
project its purposes through
various media through expres
sive films, through tradition and
ritual, and through bringing to
gether students, faculty, and
townspeople, of differing na
tional backgrounds for an eve
ning of fellowship. . More spe
cifically, the program will in
clude the showing of films Fri
day morning and part of the
afternoon; a noon ceremonial;
an international supper; an in
formal program at Hill Hall cli
maxed by a talk on "National
ism and One World" by Paul
Green. The entire program is
open to alL
This observance is a symbol
of our interest in the United
Nations. Yet only a symbol.
The rationalization follows
easily that since we have satis
fied this obligation, very little
responsibility for continued in
terest remains. In this case the
limitations of a one-day observ
ance should be considered, for
they are great. The observance
of this day should be a part, and
a part only, of a larger program.
This program should be expres
sive of a continued, more perm
anent concern with the meaning
of the United Nations in this
country and abroad. Personal
involvement, on the level of a
continuing United Nations Com
mittee or its equivalent, is nec
essary to a really comprehen
sive appreciation and under
standing of the individual stu
dent's role in this important
movement. The process where
by students come to accept, as
a part of their own responsi
bility, the need to make a con
tribution to a larger cause than
the paying of respect to such a
cause for one day every year.
The National Citizens' Commit
tee for UN Day, sharing of this
conviction, sees this specific ob
servance as a means, the end
objective of which is the stimu
lation of continued interest and
participation in a world-wide
effort.

Drew Pearson-
The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
WASHINGTON It is an
axiom of military strategy that
the best defense is to attack.
But in political strategy it
it looks as if the best defense
against income tax investiga
tion is to charge that the gov
ernment is full of Communists.
If you repeat that charge often
enough and shout it loud enough,
you can get away with all sorts
of things as far as your per
sonal taxes are concerned or
at least that seems to be the
experience of Wisconsin's Sena
tor Joe McCarthy.
This may be because govern
ment officials know that they
raise the cry of "Martyr" and
"Revenge" if they prosecute a
critic who has attacked them.
It is a safe statement that the
average newspaperman who
kept financial records the way
McCarthy does, and juggled his
finances the way he does, would
have landed in the jug some
time ago. However, it is a known
though never officially admitted
fact that Senators and members
of the House of Representatives
never have their tax returns too
carefully scrutinized. This is the
unwritten rule of the Burea of
Internal Revenue.
The fact that McCarthy merits
investigation and scrutiny,
however, is indicated by the
amazing fact that during the
past six and a half years the
Senator from Wisconsin de
posited $24,185.44 to his bank
accounts.
The average citizen does not
deal in large amounts of cash.
Cash is the medium of the
underworld, where nay-offs and
protection money must be con
cealed. (
Even more amazing is the
amount of money received by
the Senator from Wisconsin from
unidentified sources. Deposits
turned up in the Senator's ac
counts with no record by the
bank or brokerage firm as to
where, they came from.
For s this and other reasons,
McCarthy was able to parlay
$70,490 of income during eleven
years (1935 through 1945) up to
stocks that cost him $180,000.
McCarthy did this long be

fore he began his Communist
campaign. But since he took up
the Communist issue he has con
tinued to gamble on the stock
and commodity market. And
though the public generally has
the impression of a man dedi
cated to the cause of ridding the
world of Communism, the Sena
tor's bank accounts indicate that
he is chiefly out to make some
thing for McCarthy.
Public office seems to agree
with McCarthy financially. For
after he got into public office
he really began to make money.
In 1935 he earned only $777.81.
And during the entire period
from 1935 to 1942 he averaged
only $4,163.32 a year in salary.
Just one year later, in 1943,'
he reported income of $40,560.92
from the sale of stocks that he
had bought. Just how he was
able to acquire such valuable
stocks when his income had
averaged only $4,163.32 for seven
years is difficult to say es
pecially since McCarthy was in
the Marine Corps during part of
this time.
McCarthy also had a strange
habit of deducting from his income-tax
returns disapropriate
contributions to charities, one of
them to a catholic charity in
far-away Burma which actually
did not exist. Finally tax offi
cials in Wisconsin reminded him
that this didn't look quite
kosher, and in 1950 he stopped.
Another case involved the
Appleton State Bank in Wis
consin. In 1946 it was dunning
McCarthy for funds in order to
cover a loan, when suddenly
from a completely unidentified
source a total of $38,045.72 was
deposited to McCarthy's ac
count. One of McCarthy's financial
schemes was a joint banking ac
count with his office assistant
Ray Kiermas. Mr. Kiermas has
had an average annual income
of about $6,500. Yet from sources
best known to himself, Kiermas
has made large deposits not only
to his own account but has al
so deposited funds to the Sena
tor's account.
It is possible that the Senator
has banked through his office
Corny Campaign
Eritor:
I am sick and tired of pro
fessional politicians' ballyhoo
concerning the current national
elections. But, I am revolted
and disgusted by would-be-directors
of student opinion who
write articles in The Daily Tar
Heel which expressly and un
equivocably prove that one po
litical party is society's only
remedy for the Fall of Man,
whereas the other party insti
gated that fall. Such an article
can be found in Sunday's issue,
October 19, by Al House. I do
not know Mr. House personally,
but after reading his conclusive,
profound, and irrefutable dis
cussion of both political parties,
I immediately came to believe
that here was a Democrat from
whom God was receiving daily
guidance.
May I quote? "America looks
forward with him (Stevenson)
with a firm confidence in jus
tice, freedom and peace on
earth that will raise the hearts
and hopes of mankind for that
distant day when no one rat
tles sabre and no one drags a
chain." Stuff!!! Are we think
ing, rational humans or are we
emotional jackasses who steadi
ly follow the out-stretched car
rot of words, cliches, and trite
slogans which typify our present
election?
This is not the answer of an
irate Republican to Mr. House's
biased article. I am not a mem
ber of any organized political
party I am a Democrat (copy
right, Will Rogers)., But party
names and stereotyped senti
ment are nothing compared to
the principles and philosophies
which lie behind the issues of
of this election. It is these con
cepts and ideas of government
which should be judged before
placing one party or one candi
date above another.
One of these issues is securi
ty. Man has searched for se
curity from economic want and
protection against personal dis
aster since his earliest recorded
culture. Everyone wants to feel
sheltered from the slings and
arrows of an outraged economic
system gone beserk. The most
secure man in our society today
is the convict serving a life
term. His economic worry for
the present and future is negli
gible. Yet, who among us would
trade our freedom and liberty
in exchange for the security
which this man ' has uninten
tionally found? (pause for ve
hement refusal of penal se
curity.) Paradixically, however, it is
assistant in order to cover the
source of certain people who
have paid him. He has also ap
parently used his brother, Wil
liam P. McCarthy.
On August 26, 1948, for in
stance, a commodity credit ac
count was opened with Dan F.
Rice and Company, Chicago
grain traders, in the name of
William P. McCarthy. Though in
his brother's name, the $10,000
used to open the account ac
tually came from Ray Kiermas
to the extent of $6,223.72, while
the balance was supplied by a
draft on the Appleton State
Bank which suddenly seems to
have lost its records and cannot
now identify the source of this
money.
Three years later, March 8,
1951, the account with D. F.
my considered opinion that the
Democratic party has offered
security to the voting masses
for the past twenty years and
that offer has been accepted, de
spite the obvious loss of personal
freedom and liberty which is so
manifest by Federal control and
regulation today. To illustrate,
Mr. House obligingly listed sev
eral Democratic measures which
Taft (therefore, all Republicans)
opposed. These are: Soil Con
servation Service; Social Se
curity; G. I. Bill for Korean
Veterans; 90 per cent parity
prices for farmers; federal aid
to education; public housing
projects; and public power de
velopment. Do these bills indi
cate the Democrats appeal for
votes by the evident promise of
security and the concealed
promise of limited personal free
dom of action? I think so.
This type of security is never
to be found not until the ele
ments of chance, fate, and per
sonal differences in ability are
reduced to zero. Yet for twenty
years, the majority of people in
this country have gone to the
polls and elected the party can
didate which would give them
the most false security. The
effect of this voting is plainly
evidenced by the federal stran-gle-hold
on our economy and
our decrease in personal initia
tive and ambition. "And, as you
all know, security is mortals'
chief enemy."
This article is not designed to
negate Mr. House's statements
or political views. (A man can
not be too careful in his choice
of enemies.) I only wished to
give an interpretation of his ar
ticle in terms of ideas and con
cepts which are being over
looked in this orgy of political
drivel. A. B. Warren
Princeton University adminis
trators discovered last week
that two members of the 1952
graduating class forged their
senior theses in "one of the most
flagrant examples of plagiar
ism" ever attempted at Prince
ton. Both men, members of the
English and Modern Languages
department were found to have
submitted almost exact copies
of master's theses stolen from
the Columbia University library
last winter. When faced with
' the evidence, both admitted the
work as not their own, but de
nied outside help or having paid
for the theses.
No disciplinary measure have
been announced. Two years ago
there were numerous reports of
New York agents receiving up
to $700 for the forging of theses
for Princeton seniors.
Rice was closed out, a check for
$7,159 going to William P. Mc
Carthy. This check was cashed
and the cash was deposited ten
days later back with the same
D. F. Rice Co.
This time, however, the trad
ing account was in the name of
Julia Connelly, the maiden name
of William McCarthy's wife.
In 1951, the date when the
commodity account was closed
out and then re-established
under Julia Connelly's name, it
so happened that the Senator
from Wisconsin was beginning
to come under the scrutiny of
his fellow Senators for extra
curricular conduct.
This is just one chapter in the
operation of a Senator who has
set himself up in judgment over
his fellowmen.
