(9 r I VOLUME LX1, NUMBER 79 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1953 FOUR PAGES TODAY Dr. Chafee Scfiedues Fna 7ac A middle course has to be steer ed in allowing freedom of speech among subordinate members of or ganizations a factory, the Army, the State Department, a church Dr. Zechariah Chafee Jr. said here last night. "Although forcing men to say too little is a mistake, some subordin ates talk too much," he safa. "Their views are trivial, or they go on asserting them pertinanious ly after they have been rejected. Yet there is always the possibility that the views which are rejected are much more useful to the en terprise than the views of the sup erior official who did .the reject ing." Dr. Chafee, a member of the Har vard Law School faculty since 1919, delivered in Memorial Hall the sec ond in the series of three annual Weil Lectures at the University. With "Freedom in Special Situa tions" as his general theme, Dr. Chafee, who was introduced by Dean Henry P. Brandis Jr. of the Law School, took freedom of speech in organizations, under the specific title, "The Ship," as his subject last night. Tuesday night he discussed freedom of speech in ed ucation. He will conclude the lec tures tonight at 8:30 with a dis cussion of freedom in the time of crises, entitled "The Beleaguered ed City." Dr. Chafee was guest of honor at luncheon at the Carolina Inn yes terday, given by the Committee on Established Lectures of which Dr. Alexander P. Heard is chairman. Dr. Chafee said that "internally, the power to make decisions has to be concentrated. Considerable despotism is inevitable in any-enterprise. Yet sound decisions em erge from discussion from infor mation about facts and from opin ions expressed by men in close con tact with facts. Though subordinates cannot decide, they may often be allowed to persuade . . . How far should they be able to express views of facts and policies which differ from the views of their su periors?" To illustrate, Dr. Chafee told a story of a passenger on a ship who told the captain about a submerged rock ahead. The captain denied it. When the passenger insisted, the captain had him thrown into the sea. Soon afterward the vessel hit the rock. "The attitude of superiors to ward what their subordinates say can increase or decrease the value of cooperation," he declared. "Moreover, it has marked effect upon the esprit do corps upon the happiness with which subordinates do their work . . . On the other hand, the possibility that the ex pression of unpopular views will be punished by lack of promotion, assignment to disagreeable tasks, or dismissal makes many subordin ates silent and sullen." Dr. Chafee said the external problem involves a contest be tween "truth inside the enterprise and truth outside. Complete frank ness inside is essential to efficien cy, but compulsory disclosure to outsiders may interfere with frank ness, especially if the subordinate fears that he will be penalized years later by saying what the outsiders will dislike."

" Socialism Here To By Jim Wilkinson Socialism has done1 much for the ills of Great Britain, accord ing to a prominent church figure of that country, and is pretty much "here to stay." That's the opinion of Chancel lor T. R. Milford, a visitor here as a lecturer for the Department of Religion and the Inter-Faith Council. One of four Canons. on the staff of ancient Lincoln Cathedral in England, he is also titular guardian of the Magna Carta. In an interview, Chancellor Milford voiced approval of many of the changes which Socialism has brought to England. The aver age wage earner in Britain today is better off than before the war. omoor D poc3 u , icfory'.W 7 Bills For S ion By Louis Kraar Student Legislature convenes tonight at 7:30 in Phi Hall with virtually the entire Student Par ty's fall platform up for discus sion. Seven bills were introduced by SP legislators last week in the opening session which corres pond to planks in the party plat form. The bills move to: 1. Establish a committee to in vestigate possibilities of open quiz files. 2. Look into a more liberal class cut policy. 3. Amend the general elections law to make candidates include samples of cigarettes, candy, etc. in their expense accounts. 4. Revise the selection of can didates for the Student Council. 5. Soundproof dormitories "at the earliest possible moment." 6. Get better communications facilities in' dormitories. 7. Appoint a committee to look into having coed visiting hours Sicilian Elected In elections held last week by the Card Board, Bob Skillan was elected president succeeding Jim Stegall. - Other election results were Bob Bell, chief usher; Lib Sud dreth, secretary; Laura Holo man, chief of the artist staff and Carl Gregory, chief of the office staff. LATE REGISTRATION The dean of students office add ed to its accomplishments yester day., morning when Fran Weaver, wife of Dean Fred Weaver, gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth Gail (6 lbs., 11 ozs.) at Memorial Hos pital here. Mrs. Weaver is a former Carolina coed. The daughter is their first child. Just last week, Mrs Roy Holsten, wife of the assistant -dean of students, gave birth to a son. Construction Drafts Due, Fraternity and sorority presi dents should turn in their approved remodeling plans to the dean of students office by tomorrow, Roy Holsten said yesterday. P. L. Burch, Chapel Hill build ing inspector, must agree that the plans fulfill the state's require ments for removal of fire hazards. Holsten said five construction companies will be asked to submit bids for the collective job of in stalling fire escapes in the fratern ity and sorority houses. Working In England, Stay, Milford Thinks he maintained, and pointed to the number of new television an tennas on rooftops as an indica tion. But the Chancellor had far more concrete evidence for his belief. Despite continued ration ing and scarcities, he said, the lower working classes have bene fitted greatly from programs like the health plan, aid to education and nationalization of certain in dustries such as the mines and railroads. To a large extent, he affirmed, "Socialism is here to stay." He does not believe that the Church ill government will be able to push back the inroads of social ism made under the Labor Party. And, he continued, the Conserva mm Socio! Koosms T for social rooms in men's dormi tories. The new chairmen of the stand ing committees, which were se lected last week, are expected to appoint committee members. New committee chairmen are Jack Stilwell (UP), Ways 'and Means; Bill Acker (SP), Finance; Wade Matthews (SP-UP), Rules; Jane Kottmeier (SP), Coed Af fairs; and Al Baylor (SP), Ar chives. Although SP has a working majority, the key post of chair man of the Ways and Means committee went to a UP legisla tor, Stilwell. Consensus among politicians was that neither party would completely dominate leg islative action because of the election of Stilwell to this po sition. . All bills which do not specific ally fall into the catagories of any of the other committees are given to the Ways and Means committee. In practice, most bills go through this committee. Sheps Named To Beth Israel Hospital Post Dr. Cecil G. Sheps, director of program planning and research pro fessor of health planning in the Division of Health Affairs in the University, has been appointed exe cutive director of Beth Israel Hos pital in Boston. Beth Israel Hospital is one of Boston's leading teaching hospitals and is associated with Harvard University and Tufts Medical Col lege. Dr. Sheps will remain in his po sition here until next summer and take up his duties in Boston in September. Dr. Sheps came to the University six years ago as a member of the" School of Public Health faculty and was named the first director of Program Planning, a part of the Division of Health Affairs, which was begun a year ago to speed the extension of services from the Division to the people of j the State. His work in promoting the Pro gram, Planning project has now been established and will continue under a new director to be selected later in the year. The initiation of the project here was made possible by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to the University to sponsor a planning staff for the Division of Health Af fairs. It forms one arm of the ad ministrative offices of the Division and works with the Division Ad ministrator, Dr. Henry T. Clark Jr., and the various health deans. tives are apparently coming to the same conclusion since their campaign promises to de-nationalize certain industries has come to naught after more than a year in power. To erase these meas ures, he averred, "would be wrecking a system that has just begun to work." Why then was the Labor Party turned out? For much the same reason the U. S. had a party switch, he opined "It was time for a change." A very complex tax system has been formulized in England, the Chancellor explained, to distri bute the wealth more evenly and equalize opportunity among all classes. It is similar to the U. S.

New Setup May Begin This Weekend Connor Dormitory for male grad uate students will soon have the privilege of unchaperoned women visitors in the social rooms three days a week. Connor President Earl Diamond, who has led a committee towards the gaining of visiting privileges, said yesterday it appears likely that the first women guests will be entertained this weekend. Open house has been tentatively set for Sunday afternoon. The right of visiting privileges for coeds in men's dormitories has been fought for over the years. In nearly every year's Legislature there is a bill asking for the privi leges and nearly every year one of the campus political parties puts such an idea into its platform. Visiting privileges for the gradu ate dormitory were granted con ditionally by the dean of students office. Connor agreed to obtain four faculty members and their wives to serve as a visiting com mittee. As of yesterday afternoon the committee was but one mem ber short of the requirement. Dia mond said. The visiting committee will serve an advisory function, suggesting en tertainment ideas and social room improvements. Its presence will not be required at parties and dances, however. Visiting will be permitted on Fri days (8 to 12 p.m.), Saturdays (2 to 12), and Sundays (2 to 7). "Connor ought to be compliment ed for the work it has done in im proving social facilities," Assistant Dean of Students Roy Holsten said. He added, "This is not a test case to see how well the dormitor ies in general can handle visiting privileges. It is based on the gradu ate students' needs and their ma ture fulfillment of other obvious qualifications." Manning Muntzing (SP) Thursday night introduced a bill to have the Student Legislature appoint a com mittee to "negotiate with the dean of women and the dean of students for coed visiting hours in the social rooms of men's dormitories. Auto Owners Reminded To Get New lags RALEIGH, Jan. 21 (Special) Sales of ney license tags continue to lage with little more than one week to go before 1952 plates be come invalid, the State Department of Motor Vehicles said today. News of the puzzling decline of new tag sales had Motor Vehicles Commissioner L. R. Fisher worried. He reminded Tar Heel auto and truck owners that long .waiting lines would be the inevitable re sult unless sales picked up rapidly. From the Registration Division, Director Foy Ingram said through January 12 only 505,892 new tags had been issued. This compares with 535,699 sold through the same date last year. In the Raleigh area Fisher re minded motorists that the Motor Vehicles office will be closed Sat urday, Jan. 31, as are all state of fices. Thus Friday, Jan. 30 will be the last day new tags may be se cured from the Raleigh office. (See NEW TAGS, page 2) ONE STUDENT William G. Howe, statistics grad student from Rochester, N. Y., was the only student on the Recorder's Court docket this week. Howe was found not guilty be fore Judge William S. Stewart after being charged with failure to yield the right of way.
