A New Face In 1953
The first thing you'll notice about the new year's Daily Tar Heel
is its new look.
We're proud of our new printer in Hillsboro. New equipment
installed, at the plant of The News Inc. will insure students of hav
ing a daily newspaper for the remainder of the year.
While you were prepping for exams right before Christmas, the
Publications Board was facing a" crisis no printer and a financial
problem. Colonial Press, our old printer, was unable to continue
publication. The board was fortunate in securing the services of
Mr. Ed Hamlin, a former Daily Tar Heel staffer himself. Working
with the new printer is J. B. Holland, a topnotch mechanical super
intendent, who has spent three years in handling the mechanical
operation of your newspaper.
The printing problem was solved but the financial one was not.
The Daily Tar Heel had a difficult first quarter financially. If you'll
remember, we changed in September from a tabloid to a seven col
umn newspaper, which we are still maintaining. But that costs
money, a lot more than the tabloid. And student fees have not in
creased since 1948. Thye've" decreased substantially. To have the
kind of daily newspaper that students deserve, the Student Legisla
ture must give more funds to The Daily Tar Heel or the newspaper
will have to stop serving students in the way it does now.
The new Daily Tar Heel will print daily except for Saturdays and
Mondays. That's a decrease from six to five days a week. But it's
a decrease in number not in size. And we want to continue giving
you all the news that is possible.
Hazzard In 1953, Too
"CONDEMNED" is not a pleasant greeting for either Christmas or
the New Year. Usually we think of condemnation as a sentence for
punishment. "Condemned to die, condemned to prison," are com
mon expressions.
But when men and women of 35 out of 36 fraternity and sorority
houses see the large typed "CONDEMNED" sign posted on the front
door and look at the smaller type, they find that their houses are
unfit. In the eyes of the state law, their campus homes are un
liveable. , ' .
The law is the law and as the presidents of the Greek organiza
tions meet with Dean Roy Holsten today, we are sure that adequate
programs will be launched to put the houses in shape to conform
with fire regulations. The 90 days allowed for compliance with the
building regulations should give the fraternities some time to im
prove their houses.
An arbused parent of a student made the inquiry on houses. The
parent thought that the houses were fire hazzards. We, don't under
stand why the University and the town government takes action now
when they were hazzards for so many years, under the law.
We are happy to see that the University and the town are con
cerned with any fire hazzards in the community. Yet some dormi
tories need fire extinguishers. They have none. Shouldn't the fire
regulations extend to the dormitories, too?

The Washington Merry-Go-Round
WASHINGTON British sourc
es close to Winston Churchill say
that while his initial reason for
coming to see Eisenhower was
the dynamite-laden situation in
Iran, the prime minister has be
come equally steamed up over
reports of Eisenhower's propos
ed strategy in Korea. .
This strategy, as relayed to
London by British observers, fol
lows: 1. Send two divisions of Chiang
Kai-Shek's troops to Korea from
Formosa.
2. Blockade the China ports.
3. Turn over a certain number
of American naval vessels to
South Korea and the Chinese Na
tionalists in order to form Kor
ean and Chinese navies, which in
turn would harass the coast of
China. .
4. Lift the present ban against
Chiang Kai-Shek's sending mili
tary expeditions to the Chinese
mainland.
5. Possible use of atomic wea
pons in Korea.
6. Send three U.S. divisions to
Japan, presumably to prepare for
a Korean offensive next Spring.
The first five of these cut
squarely across British policy in
the past not only ; the policy of '
the Labor government, but the
Conservatives. In fact, Ex-Prime
.Minister Clement Attlee rushed
across the Atlantic on a some
what similar mission when Presi
dent Truman dropped an off-the-cuff
remark about using the A
Bomb in Korea.
Churchill is reported by friends
to be particularly upset over Ike's
reported plan to use Chiang Kai
Shek's troops and also the report
ed plan to blockade the China
coast. The British have long ar
gued that Chiang Kai-Shek is
completely discredited, that he
can never stage a comeback, and
that using "his troops either in
Korea or on the Chinese main
land would be like a red flag to
the Chinese. It might, they argue,
prolong the war indefinitely.
The British also claim that any
1lockade of the China coast
would be tantamount to an act of
war. If U.S. warships should
blockade Russian-held Dairen, for
instance, it might easily provoke
war.
Churchill's advisers say that
since he and Eisenhower are old
comrades from World War II
during which they enjoyed an ex
tremely close relationship, Win
ston may tactfully suggest that
the new president should not
move merely for the sake of
movement, but that his moves be
carefully thought out so as not to
alienate this country's allies.
Note it's interesting that
while Eisenhower was aboard the
U.S.S. Helena some of his advis
ers hashed over the prospect that
Churchill might use his old
friendship with Ike to influence
policy. Churchill's hurry-up trip
to New York had not been an
nounced at that time. But even
-DREW PEARSON.
then, Ike-men worried over the
intimate relationship between the
two, and persuasive influence of
the prime minister.
Note 2 It was British hesitan
cy over Roosevelt's proposed na
val blockade or "quarantine" in
the Far East in 1936 which fin
ally upset his attempt to stop
Japanese aggression. It was also
the lobbying of British and
American oil companies which
helped break up the League of
Nations sanctions imposed on
Mussolini when he Invaded Ethi
opia in 1935. Each postponement
of a showdown, however, built
up for a greater and more tragic
eventual showdown with the Axis.
President Truman had a fare
well luncheon with Democratic
Senators right after New Year's
Day. There . were moments of
.sadness and also moments of
mirth as he said good-bye to col
leagues with whom he had serv
ed and with whom he had some
times differed.
Sen. Ernest McFarland, retir
ing not only as Democratic lead
er but as Senator from Arizona,'
made a speech which touched his
colleagues. Referring to the fact
that he had been mentioned as
ambassador to Mexico, McFar
land said:
"I don't think the Republicans
owe me anything, and I don't ex
pect anything. I've battled them
as hard as I could and have done

the best job I know how. Tin go

"When the team comes up
again, I'll be there playing right
guard if they want me to."
President Truman also spoke,
and got a laugh when he chidded
new Sen. Stuart Symington of
Missouri, whom Truman tried to
have defeated in the Democratic
primary there.
"I want to warn you, Stu," said
the president, "that about 20 days
from now I'll be one of your con
stituents. And you'd better watch
out. I'm quite a letter-writer and
I'm going to write you some let
ters." The president also told about
the Missouri Senatorial race in
which Symington defeated Re
publican Sen. James Kem, and
:the picture of a cow which Kem
had circulated indicating that he
Understood farm problems.
"Kem doesn't know how to
milk a cow," said the president.
"The only thing he knows how to
milk is corporation."
One piece of "unfinished busi
ness" Harry Truman may tackle
after leaving the White House
concerns Joe Stalin. While presi
dent of the United States, Tru
man cannot tee off on the Soviet
dictator for Stalin's betrayal of
the Potsdam agreement.
But as ex-president he is more
free. And Harry is thinking seri
ously of taking off the protocol
FIRST CLEARANCE

.ROLFE NEILL-
The
t
Livespike
Every now and then you read
where some writer is sick of
this and sick of that. I'd like to
go on record.
My gripe is about a number of
our entertainment stars who risk
their life and press agent to go
to Korea, ostensibly to "do my
it for our boys." Now I'm all
for our better entertainers do
jing their bit in Korea, and from
press reports, the soldiers enjoy
it. But what I'm irked about are
the ones who come back and
-.capitalize on their visits.
They never miss a radio op
portunity to tell about when "I
was in Korea." They don't seem
to be able to pass up any chance
to grab a newspaper headline
with a personal account of Korea.
Naturally, there are many who
entertain our troops in Korea
and expect no' publicity reward.
It would be a good thing for this
spirit to infect their darling co
horts. Ever wondered .where the his
torical markers along N.4C. high
ways and in its towns come from?
It all goes back to 1935. In that
year the Legislature began the
state's historical marker program
and since then 676 have been
erected throughout Tar Heelia.
The" markers cost about $85
each and are manufactured un
der a state competitive bidding
contract. The 1951 Legislature
made $5,000 a year available for
markers or about 60 a year. Of
this 60, about 20 percent are re
placements. Selecting a personage to be
honored by a marker is done by
a committee of historians from
Davidson, State, Wake Forest,
UNC and Duke. Of the state's 100
counties, only Hoke, Pamlico and
Alexander lack at least one of
the black and silver signs. Wake
has 42 markers and Hanover is
second with 22.
Edwin A. Miles, archives and
.history researcher, says the his-
gloves and telling the world in
general and Stalin in particular
what he really thinks of him.
In a recent chat with his close
friend, Joseph Keenan of the
American Federation of Labor,
Truman said he planned to "take
it easy" for six months after
leaving the White House, devote
part of the vacation to a trip
around the world; also promote
the Truman Memorial library , in
Independence. v
After that, he told Keenan:
"I'm going to do some writing.
I don't know how it will work out
because writing isn't my long
suit, but the American public
hasn't been given a fair appraisal
of my administration there's
still some confusion about cer
tain matters, foreign and do
mestic and I would like to get
the record straight for future
historians."
The president didn't elaborate,
but in talks with advisers he has
strongly indicated that, among
other things, he would like to tell
the whole, unvarnished story of
the controversial Potsdam con
ference and Stalin's betrayal of
trust.
