Opinion Voles
Two universities, one northern and one southern, met the
racial problem recently in exactly opposite ways.
New York University announced it was striking questions
of race and religion from its application forms.
The University of Alabama refused two Negro women ad
mittance to the graduate school. The women plan to file suit
against the U.niversity in federal court, on grounds that their
constitutional rights have been violated.
The Crimson-White, stude'nt newspaper there, sided with
the administration. It declared in an editorial, "We maintain
there is no race hatred among the vast majority of south
erners. Certainly we segregate our schools, busses and social
meetings. It's only good sense. . . - Equal rights for all can
never become a reality until we all feel it, and want it, and
think we can live together without hating each other . .
But the editorial granted that "Those Negroes do, tech
nically, by the Constitution of the United States . . . have the
right to enter the University. A court will confirm it we are
sure."
Chapel Hill Weekly
Bow
That the bowl games at New Year's are an unwholesome
growth, that they constitute outrageous overemphasis on foot
ball, has long been recognized by everybody except persons
whose devotion to the game is so fanatical that it paralyzes
their concern for decent standards in education.
The number and influence of these persons is tremendous.
They are capable of exerting, and do exert, powerful pressure
on college authorities.
A year ago the Southern Conference decided that its mem
ber institutions should not engage in bowl games. President
Gordon Gray of the University of North Carolina was a
leader in this reform. Recently he has said that he is not sure
that a Conference ban is the right approach to the prob
lem, that maybe the decision as to whether or not a college
should let it's football team play in a bowl at New Year's
should be left to the college itself. I believe this would be
a bad procedure. It would produce a chaotic situation in
Southern Conference football and soon the bowl games
Would become again the evil barnacles on education that
they were before. President Gray is giving the matter new
study. I (Editor Louis Graves) hope his new study will lead
him to hold to his first stand.

Editor:
One score years ago, our
fathers" brought forth upon this
nation a new administration,
conceived in fear and dedicated
to the proposition that all men
like a handout. Now we are
engaged in a great election,
testing whether this administra
tion or any administration, so
conceived and o dedicated can
long endure. We are met on a
great battlefield of this election.
We have dedicated a portion of
our income to a final resting
place: the pockets of those who
have given mink coats that their
wives might live. It is not al
together fitting and proper that
we should do this. And, in a
larger sense, we cannot endure,
we cannot tolerate, we cannot
submit to this farce. The mis
guided Democrats, living and
dead, who struggled here, have
not placed the situation beyond
our power to add or detract.
The voters will greatly note and
long remember what we say
here, for they cannot forget
what Harry Tuman did in Wash
ington. It is for us, the voters,
to be dedicated here to the un
finished work that the Repub
lican Party has so far nobly ad
vanced. It is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task
remaining before us, that from
these betrayed Americans we
Hake increased devotion to that
cause for which the Republican
Party is giving its full measure
of devotion; that we here high
ly resolve that this party has
not labored in vain; that this na
tion, under Dwight David Eisen
hower shall have a new birth
of freedom, and that govern
ment of the people, by the
people, and for the people, shall
nt perish from the White
House.

Success, in serving a foreign
food specialty depends usually
upon a gourmet touch in prep
aration. Not that anything in
them is so difficult. But each can
be either delicious if properly
flavored or terribly uninterest
ing if not. Herbs and MSG are
flavor flatterers which should
be used much more than they
are.
Once you become sensitive to
food flavors, including a full ap
preciation of herbs, it's fun to
try to duplicate what you eat.
Once you do that it means wak

The Washington Merry
WASHINGTON Walter Win
chell has just made public
affidavits alleging that Harry
S. Truman was a member of the
Ku Klux Klan in 1922. Most
significant thing about these
aflidavits is that they were ob
tained in October, 1944, when
Harry S. Truman was running
for Vice-President.
'However, they were nol pub
lished by Winchell at that time.
If so, the voters would have had
an opportunity to pass on their
validity when they could have
influenced an election, not eight
years later when the question of
Truman's background is purely
academic.
Various editors have com
plained since 1944 that the press
did not properly report on many
other activities of the man then
running for Vice President, now
the President. They argued that
the job of Vice President can
be just as important as that of
President, and that Veeps are
usually unknown men, picked by
a handful of party bosses during
the hasty closing days of a con
vention. In view of this, and in view
of the fact that Senator Nixon
was not only handpicked but
relatively unknown either to
Eisenhower or to the public, here
are more little-known facts in
the record of a man who could
be President.
-was
First, let it be said that Sena
tor Nixon has been approached
for comment on these facts, but
has not made himself available.
His press-relations officer has
stated not only to this column
but repeatedly to the press that
Nixon will not answer further

questions on his finances nor
publish his tax returns. He has
refused to hold press confer
ences. However, here are some fur
ther facts on which the public
is entitled to clarification:
1. Loan From War Contractor
During the closing days of the
war, Nixon, an attorney in the
Navy was given the job of re
negotiating the contract of
ERCO, at Riverdale, Maryland.
This was an assignment which
could mean money saved for
the taxpayers. The renegotiating
officer sat as virtual judge and
jury, empowered to decide on
. a rebate to the government or
a rebate to the contractor.
While negotiating the ERCO
contract, Nixon let drop the fact
that he wanted to go back to
California to run for Congress
and borrowed money from
ERCO to pay his expenses home.
Later he repaid the money. It
may have been purely coinci
dental, but ERCO received a re
fund from the government on its
war work.
ERCO officials confirm the
above facts. Senator Nixon was
not available for comment.
2. Office Expenses In making
his radio report to the nation,
Nixon stated that he had used
his $18,000 expensefund to pay
office and travel expenses, thus
saving the taxpayers money.
Despite this, the Senator
claimed $1,294.05 in deductible
office expenses in 1951 beyond
his $2,500 tax-free allowance.
Part of this was a claim of $600
for taking constituents to lunch.
In . 1950 he also claimed a de
duction of $1,471 for office ex
Clean"
- Go - Round
penses, part of which was $260
for constituents' lunches.
Yet the prije, Waterhouse
Audit of his $18,000 expense
fund for the same years listed
"meetings and luncheons at
California hotels $410" also
"meals, taxicab fares and park
ing charges paid for visitors,
$382.52."
' Obviously " the price, ' Water
house Audit and the Senator's
own expense deductions which
were charged to the taxpayer
conflict.
3. Tax Exemption In March,
1951 Mrs. Nixon filed on behalf
of herself and husband a sworn
statement in California that their
joint property did not exceed
$10,000. This was to enable them
to take advantage of a California
tax reduction whereby a veteran
in reduced circumstances is
given a tax exemption of about
$50.
In July of that same year,
Nixon purchased his $41,000
house in Washington, making a
down payment of $20,000. Ear
lier that year he had acquired
a smaller house in Whittier,
Calif.
If he lacked $10,00 in March
of 1951, where did he get the
$20,000 in July? This is a ques
tion the public has a right to
ask of any candidate for office.
4. Veterans Record The best
way to judge a Senator's record
is by his work on committees.
Nixon belongs to the Labor and
Public Welfare Committee, an
important group because it
handles the Taft-Hartley Act,
labor legislation, health, edu
cation. Out of 18 full committee meet-

REVIEWS
Last night the premiere per
formance of Gonzalo Estrada's
"The Pink Circus," the Play
makers' first experimental pro
duction of the year, took place
t the Playmaker Theater.
A fine cast of veteran Play
makers and promising new
comers was assembled for this
equally fine play by student
director John Clayton.
In the difficult leading role
of Jimmie Romero, the tor
mented and confused Mexican
boy, was Hal England. Although
this is only Hal's second year
in Chapel Hill, he has distin
guished himself as 302 in "Dark
ness at Noon," the Radical in
"Winterset," and the Bowling
Champion in the experimental,
"Liberty Flats." The role of
Jimmy fits England like a glove,
for his fort is heavy emitional
acting.
Nancy Green essayed the very
dramatic role of Florencia.
Jimmie's straying mother. This
role was a complete about face
for Miss Green, who is remem
bered for her performance as
Coretta, the delightfully care
free country gal in last year's
"Spring for Sure" and for net
work in many other light
comedies.
Manley Wellman played the
conniving Uncle Carlos, with
whom Florencia is having an
affair. Wellman too is another
veteran, having appeared in
"Ten Little Indians," "Marilyn,
My Marilyn," and a number of
other productions.
As Jimmie's two friends, Bush
and Eddie, we had Bill Waddell
and Alan O'Neal. Waddell is a
comparative newcomer to the
Playmakcrs, and everyone hopes
to see more of him. O'Neal was
seen last year in "The Shining
Dark." His wife, Frances, is ap
pearing as Pomposa, the wierd
mid-wife in the abortion scene.
Although last year was only
Mrs. O'Neal's first with the
Playmakers, she is an ex
perienced performer having ap
peared in "Spring for Sure,"
"Blithe Spirit," "Liberty Flats."
"The Shining Dark," and "Mari
lyn, My Marilyn."
Also appearing in important
roles were Jane Kottmeier,
Betty Vickery, Martha Morris,
Carl Williams and Jim Rior
dan. The large supporting cast
included Betty Lentz, Martha
Boyle, John Taylor, Martha
Davis, Dick Burton, Rose Marie
Raymer, Florence Williams, and
William Casstevens.
In addition to John Clayton,
director, the production staff in
cluded Dick Eppler, set design
er, Anne Edwards, lighting de
signer, and Jeannette Pratt,
costume designer.
ings during the last session,
however, Nixon attended only
four.
He is also a member of the
Subcommittee on Veterans
Affairs, which investigated the
Veterans' Medical Care Pro
gram, found it bogged down and
inadequate. Thanks to painstak
ing work bv this committee, the
Veterans' Medical Care Pro
gram was completely reorga
nized and revitalized.
However, this was done with
no thanks to Nixon. Though a
member of the American Legion
and publicly active at Veterans'
rallies, he had the worst at
tendance record of any member
of the subcommittee. When
