Sqwhat? Is it not doomed because of its own ineffectiveness, just like the League of Nations? No, the United Nations is not doomed. Nor is it ineffective. Many major disputes have been settled by the UN, and if nothing else in the deadlock in Korea and in other major East-West issues the UN has acted as brakes from all-out war, and has afforded both sides TIME, time to cool off and compromise. No. On the contrary, the United Nations is growing stronger, gaining more support. Even the League of Nations, ,the Kellogg-Briands Peace Pact, etc. were not total failures and even supplied groundwork to the present UN. Similarly the present UN is good ground-wdork for a stronger UN. Unfortunately, these things need time to gain strength and support. Today America is in a rather unique position. Whichever way we decide to vote in the UN, a large majority of nations will consistently fall in line and vote as we vote. Russia has a smaller bloc of supporrt herself. Yet neither America nor Russia will take steps to strengthen the UN, even though both nations know that these are countless smaller nations actually anxious to vote with them to strrengthen the UN. Why doesn't America lead the way? A curious dilemna exists. Most of our diplomats know that we should, and indeed would like to strengthen the UN, but FEAR, immediate fear, and lack of adequate enthusiasm and support from Americans at home, prevent them from taking the best steps. American fears the immediate situation with Russia, just as Russia fears us. We know we now out-power Russia, but we fear we may not if we release our military and economic strength to th eUN. This fear is real and well-founded, but seems to me destined to lead us to tragedy in. this atomic and hydrogen age. Yet from the above it seems clear that if we get the United States to make the initial lead, the majority of the world will follow suit, and Russia and the minority block would be forced to fall in line or face the wrath of a free world. And America will be in the glamorous position of having led the world to a stronger United Nations and to means thereby of relieving international tensions. Damn The Torpedoes, The Atom Bombs? If the United States should take the lead to strengthen the UN such as committing ourselves and all member nations to give full econ omic and military aid, if necessary, to enforce UN decisions about in ternational disputes, for example-what will be the consequences? What will be the cost to Americaa soverignty, to our national tradi tions and prestige and integrity? In short, what will we love and what will we gain by making the UN stronger? s We will lose much (although not as much' as many claim), and we will not get the heaven-on-earth many dreamers insist we will. All we will get is a world (literally) of responsibility, tremendous moral (See FEDERALISTS, Page 4) Several students at Southern California were caught recently ? ' dancing the "Cemetery Drag",, in a graveyard. The students told police they went in for tomb stone tangos and some beer drink ing just for sport. Business manager at the Uni versity of California is looking for his raincoat. Last week as a representative of the administra tion he attended the student dis ' cussion of the honor system. At the end of-the meeting his rain coat was gone. He ascribes the disappearance not to the dishon esty of anyone attneding the hon or session, but to a "mistake." The engineering school at Ten nessee has invented an ingenious device for student aid. Studnts press a button on their desk when they don't understand what's go ing on, and an electronic device lights up on the professor's desk. There is no excuse for a mis understanding now but who w:ll have time to take notes. With final exams near at hand on some campuses, students work ing under the honor system must again make ready for the superme test the test of personal integ rity. Here's what some college news papers have to say about this test: The Baylor Lariat "Most of us watch people cheat, get hopping mad, but don't do anything about it except sit around and gripe. Some say they don't want to be a tattle-tale; all right, had you rath er report them or sit around the rest of the quarter and watch them cheat all the time causing your grade to be lower. "We must decide for ourselVes. , If we want the honor system to work, we must be the ones to make it workable." The Tulane Hullabaloo "If there is no honor system at Tu lane, it is because there is no honor. If there is no honor it is the students' fault. "The teachers have caught on. There is cheating, often obvious cheating ... If the students won't stop it the school must. "Therefore, it is the duty of every student ... to find this honor, or it is his duty to ask that the honor system be abolish ed so that he may be protected against himself like the intellect ual midget that he is." The Postscript, Richmond Pro fessional Institute "Cheating is the easy way of doing things, but it helps no one . . . Most of us would not take money or an article from a fellow student. Why steal his thoughts?" STUDENT IS MORE SERIOUS NOW THAN 50 YEARS AGO NEW YORK, N. Y. (I.P.) The college student of today is. a good deal more serious than his grandfather was 50 years ago. That's the conclusion of Dr. Wil liam L. Prager, who recently re tired afte ra half-century of teaching chemistry at the City College of New York. Reviewing their activities, Pro fessor Prager decided that college students of 50 years ago were more boisterous than, the present day crop, "panty raids" and simi lar exhibitions notwithstanding." Dr. Prager believes that "the mod ern college, student is less naive than his predecessor and he ap proaches his work with greater strength of purpose." Professor Pager finds that the relationship between student and professor has undergone consid erable change during the last fif ty years. "In my student days at CCNY, "he recalls, "the faculty was steeped in the West Point tradition and its members were strict disciplinarians. "Today," he finds, "the rela tions between students and teach er are decidedly more friendly. And it's a change for the better I think, because more is accom plished by everyone in such an atmosphere." - Grants (Continued from Page 1) literature. Suggested fields of study in the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences are given with the listing of grants. General eligibility requirements for the majority of the grants are (1( U. S. citizenship; (2) a Bache lor's degree; (3) a good academic record and (4) a good knowledge of the language of the country of tudy. The closing date for ap plications for grants given by the French government is February 1; for most of the other grants the closing date is March 1.

When Legislature convenes for its opening meeting Thursday night, Horton's administration's views on a legislative policy will be disclosed. Meantime, key members of both parties seemed to think that Horton might urge disaffiliation from NSA. None would be quoted though. It is generally believed that objections to NSA stem from disagreement wiht policies of certain organizations that it is associated with. Among these are the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Schol arship Service and Fund for Ne gro Students. Carolina's NSA dues are $177 a year. eis -me ajWti prr DREW PEARSON- Tlie Washington Merry-Go-Round WASHINGTON. The man who will collect your taxes in the Eisenhower administration, who will partially determine how much those taxes are, and who will have a major voice in the question of inflation, deflation, loans to Europe and borrowings at home, is a modest,; unpublicized busi nessman from Cleveland, Ohio. George M. Humphrey, the new . Secretary of, the Treasury, is chairman of seven big corpora tions, president of three, and on the board of directors of 34. They total assets of $2,600,000,000 al most as much as the national budget prior to the Roosevelt administration. Looking over Mr. Humphrey's record and his prospective col leagues in the cabinet, you come to this conclusion: Gen. Eisen hower has picked a conservative businessman's cabinet, but he has picked the first team. The general caliber of his ap pointees is far ahead of other GOP administrations under Hoo ver, Coolidge, Harding. And if a conservative government does not survive in this country it will not be because Eisenhower has pick ed second-raters. He is definitely going to bat with the first team. And the next four years under it will be 'among the most important in re cent history. They will also be extremely important and fasci nating to watch. Big Holding Company The new Secretary of the Treas ury typifies the first team. With almost no fanfare, he has built "up one of the bigger holding cor porations of the nation. The M. A. Hanna Company, which he t heads; controls the biggest coal company in the world, steamship companies, steel mills, rayon fac tories, vast ore deposits, a sugar company, and one of the biggest banks in Cleveland. This background has the ad vantage of bringing great ability to government, but it also puts a cabinet member under constant fire for possible favors to his own far-flung companies. In the past three weeks, for instance, two companies owned by the future Secretary of the Treasury re ceived tax write-offs of more than $22,000,000. One tax write-off was on an iron ore project in Dickinson 'County, Michigan, on which the Hanna Coal and Ore Co. got a 75 per cent tax amortization on a $11,345,000 investment. The other was a 70 per cent write-off on $22,00,000 to the Hanna Coal and Ore Co. in Douglas County, Ore., for ferro-nickel facilities. Fortunately for Mr. Humphrey, these txa concessions were granted by a Democratic admin istration. But later, when he be comes Secretary of the Treas ury, and when his many com panies and their subsidiaries come up for government benefits, as is inevitable, the situation may prove embarrassing. This is one reason why Senator Byrd of Virginia, no critic ti either Eisenhower or.; big busi ness, wants, to question . Ike's cabinet officers regarding thsir enterprises and get a record of their investments. ' No one quite like Humphrey has sat in the cabinet since the days of Andrew W. Mellon. Born in Michigan 63 years ago, Hum phrey began life as a small town Michigan lawyer, came to Cleve land where he joined the M. A. Hanna Company, founded by the famous sometimes infamous, Ohio political boss who was the power behind President McKin iey. At that time the Hanna Company was primarily engaged in hauling ore down from the - Draft (Continued from Page 1) selective service, said: "You've got more information on this than I have. Our records are almost always a month or so behind. But, I don't find the results at all surprising. We had expected all along that almost every state would be taking 19-year-olds in April." Mesabi Range in great lakes ore boats and delivering it to the steel companies of Ohio- and Pnensylvanla. Humphrey, however, saw no reason why . his company should not process the ore as well as deliver it; so, just before the de pression, he put together the Na tional Steel Company. There couldn't have a worse time to start a new steel company. Nev ertheless, National Steel not only 'weathered the storm better than any other steel company, but was generally admitted to have been ablest managed. About this time it became ap that George Humphrey had an extraordinary gift for judgment. In fact, some of his competitors claimed it was a gift of prophecy. During the depression, for in stance, the most profitable part of the average steel company was the tin-plate division. And Na tional Steel, of all the steel com panies, had the greatest per centage of tin-plate capacity. Humphrey had built the company with the tin-plate shortage in 'mind.
