CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT George Harris, Veneta Zeller., Night Editor for this issue: Louis Helpful Opponents It was a little over 10 years ago that a defeated Republican candidate for president set out to "see what I could of the world and the war, its battle fronts, its leaders and its people." That was in .1942 and the man was the intense and dy namic Wendell Willkie. He left on a tour of the Middle East, China and Russia as a personal representative of the man who defeated him, F. D. Roosevelt. This week it was the other way around. Adlai Stevenson, a Democrat, began a world tour with the same mission as Willkie. Stevenson does not go as a personal representative of the President, but he does have his official blessing to the extent of a pre-sailing conference and a special State Depart ment briefing. The President or the American people could hardly have a better emissary. During the 1940 campaign the two contenders split bit terly over the domestic policies of the New Deal. On an in ternational plane, -however, they saw pretty much eye-to-eye. Soon after he returned from his travels, Willkie wrote "One World" a report of what he had seen and done and how he interpreted it. This report reads like a modern Book of Revelations. The author's keen insight and political sensi tiviey enabled him to bring into sharp focus issues that were being muddled or passed" over, v i The account is not written in generalities. He named the people and pinpointed the j places that deserved attention. And he predicted what, would happen the very things that are happening if these people and places were ignored. He saw, for instance, that the "magic of our Western political ideas has been shajply challenged in the minds of many Moslems, many Arabs," many Jews, many Iranians." Again he said: "Our boasting and our big talk leave Asia cold. 'Men and women in Russia and China and in the Middle East are conscious now of Vheir potential strength." He detected sober undercurrents in the Middle East that "added up to the conviction that these newly awakened peo ple will be followers of some extremist leader in this genera tion if their hunger for education and opportunity ... is not met by their own rulers and their foreign overlords." But now Willkie and many of the hopes for his precious "One World" are dead. He wrote hoping the world would listen and profit by what he had to say. It may have listened, but it profited little. Stevenson has said he plans to chronicle his experiences when he returns. He may not produce another "One World." On the other hand he may surpass it. Like Willkie, he is articu late and uncompromising in stating his views. He has a search ing mind and keen insight. At best we can hope that the world will be in a more re ceptive mood for what Stevenson may have to say. Odds are he'll be worth listening to. DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Animal's foot 4.

Exclamation Hvti'Rm - jTLgsi l ""l;14 """"""ZZ vA 111 VaA l b Just A Red-Smutfed American Boy "Wednesday, Mr. William Kauff man Scarborough challenged the bases of my charges and general indictment against McCarthy. As last week's column ("For Whom the Yells Scold") was a logical comparison of similar as pects between McCarthyism. and Communism, I obviously did not (have space for factual substantia tion of each point. Mr. Scarbor ough was justified in pointing this out. But I think he was wrong in inferring that I could not give evidence to support my argu ments. Thus today I shall attempt a factual indictment against Mc Carthy. SOME CONCLUSIONS from a FACTUAL ANALYSIS ("McCar thy Versus the State Department," by Hornell Hart, Duke Sociologi cal Professor, February 4, 1952): 1. Fifty instances are cited in which statements by Senator Mc Carthy have been in radical vari ance with verified facts. 2. McCarthy made two charges against Owen Lattimore: that he was "the top Soviet espionage agent" in the U.S., and that he was "the architect of the State Department's Far Eastern policy." Of these charges, McCarthy said: "I am willing to stand or fall on this one. If I am wrong on this I think the (Ty dings) subcommittee would be justified in not taking the other cases too seriously." McCarthy was wrong on this case. Not even Budenz, the Communist .accuser, was willing to testify that Lattimore was Russia's top spy. The rest of, the evidence strongly contradicts the "top spy" accusation. And Lattimore was not the architect of our China pol icy. 3. McCarthy testified under oath that he had not said in his Wheel ing speech that there were 205 Communists in the State Depart ment. Later, he said: "If McCar thy is a liar in this, let's assume he's a liar in everything." Nevertheless, radio men have made sworn affidavits that, al though McCarthy denied it, the passage in question did appear in his original transcript, and was delivered as typed. 4. When McCarthy's statements are disproven, he generally re sponds by refusing to examine the damaging facts, by disparaging the intelligence of his critics, and insisting that all such criticisms constitute "Communist party-line -smears." 5. Senator McCarthy's activities have contributed little or nothing to discovering or weeding out Communists from our govern ment. The notable eliminations of Communists from the State De partment were all achieved before McCarthy started his campaign. 'McCarthy has offered no valid evi dence for believing that any of the State Department employees whom he accused are Communists. :John Stewart Service was the one 'State Department employee whose discharge resulted from the Mc Carthy campaign, and he was not found to be a Communist. In spite of a long list of "Communists" about whom McCarthy has made speeches he has never turned over a single case of prosecution to the Department of Justice. The Wisconsin Citizen Commit tee on McCarthy's Record Find ings (August, 1952. This is a care fully documented 134-page indict ment of McCarthy prepared by a non-partisan group of Wisconsin )citizens. Their chief charges are reviewed below): 1. Unethical conduct as a Wis consin judge: McCarthy was re buked by Wisconsin's Chief Jus tice of the Supreme Court for a (highly improper 'abuse of judicial power.' McCarthy for dubious political reasons had ordered that a portion of the court record be destroyed. 2. Acceptance of $10,000 from Lustron: McCarthy, serving on Senate committees dealing with IRFC and Lustron Corporation problems, wrote a pamphlet on housing for which he received a $10,000 fee from Lustron. 3. Filing income tax returns "that balance but mystify." 4. Alleged to have operated a Wisconsin divorce mill. 5. Making many charges against governmental officials which were based solely on stale gossip tor discredited rumors. 6. Using "the big lie" technique in the disreputable campaign to unseat Senator Tydings. 7. Slandering George C. Mar shall, Dean Acheson, etc. Periodicals supporting the au thenticity and validity of these findings and general indictment above include, among others: Time, Life, Fortune, Colliers, The Saturday Evening Post, Christian Century, Christian Science Monitor, America, Na tion, Commonweal, The New York Times, Toledo Blade, Denver Post, St. Paul Dispatch, etc. (Note: most of these periodicals supported Eisenhower, not Stev enson, in the recent campaign). The Senate Subcommittee on Privileges and Elections Findings This committee released the fol lowing disclosures without recom jmendations January 2, 1953): 1. Re-aired the Lustron issue. 2. In 1945, McCarthy owed the Appleton (Wis.) State Bank $169, 540.70. (The legal loan limit was $100,000.) Meanwhile, since begin ning his so-called crusade against Communism, his accounts have greatly improved. During the last four years, McCarthy has deposit ed $172,623.18 in one account while Ray Kiermas, his adminis trative assistant, has deposited $96,921.26. Implied Question: Where did all this money come from? 3. In 1947, a Pepsi-Cola official endorsed a $20,000 note for Mc Carthy. That year McCarthy with Pepsi-Cola fought against contin uation of governmental sugar con trols. Implied Question: Did McCarthy lobby with Pepsi-Cola for financial gain? 4. In 1948, McCarthy, using his $10,000 Lustron fee, bought stock in the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, which owed RFC $15 million. The stock had not paid dividends in many years, but nevertheless the stock went up, McCarthy sold 1000 shares last September and netted a cool $35,614.75 profit. Implied Question: Could there be any relationship between Mc Carthy's being a member of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee and his receipt of con fidential data relating to the Sea Iboard Air Line Railroad stock? 5. In 1950, a friend of McCar thy's used funds from McCarthy's anti-Communism account to buy 30,000 bushels of soybean futur es; which investment rewarded , said-friend with $17,354.50 in less than three months. Implied Question: Had not Mc Carthy violated a trust fund? Did McCarthy possess a misuse confi dential information about the soybean-futures market? In spite of the subcommittee's, report, no protest was made a few hours thereafter when Senator Joseph McCarthy was officially seated in the 83rd Congress. Said McCarthy: "They ought to know by now they can't put McCarthy aside!" Random Episodes Cited: 1. McCarthy-Time Affair: Not too long ago Time magazine blast ed McCarthy in an article entitled "Demagogue McCarthy". McCar thy bellowed that vicious lies had ibeen printed against him. But rather than sue for libel, McCar thy instead chose to write to the (individual advertisers, and he urg ed them to stop advertising in "Time". It's interesting to note that "Time" still comes out once a week, has plenty of advertisers, and still pours it on McCarthy. NO HOOMIN BEAM EVER TH' X I If?

MOt-E AUcCARONyW&H rvF- o fezVec 7VV ' m "Trade", a publisher's maga zine, said that McCarthy's action placed the freedom of the press in definite jeopardy. 2. Hoffman's Testimony: Paul Hoffman, a pre-trial witness for 'ex-senator Benton (who is being sued for $2,000,000 by McCarthy) declared that McCarthy's slander ous accusations against General Marshall were "fantastically fal se". Hoffman denied that the Mar shall Plan and Marshall's policy rendered "massive helpfulness to the world ambitions of the Krem llin", as McCarthy had charged. Eisenhower also has vouched for Marshall. 3. Slander against Stevenson: In a TV assault at Stevenson, Mc Carthy said: "Tonight; I shall give you the history of the Democratic candidate for the presidency, who .endorses and would continue the Isuicidal Kremlin-directed policies of this nation, etc . . . Alger, par don me, I mean Adlai Stevenson In a later comment about all the Democratic candidates, Mc Carthy said that he would be able to make "good Americans" out of them if he could but take a whip to them. Etc. Ad Infinitum One thing is certain about the McCarthy issue. Neither Mr. Scar borough nor I will settle it. We can just haggle back and forth about the truth and reliability of the other's position. History alone will pass the final human verdict on McCarthyism. But in the meanwhile, I urge all to consider not only these fac tual charges against McCarthy, the man, but also to weigh the impact of McCarthyism, the methods and tendencies, upon our constitution al freedoms. We are against Com munism, yes! But we are also against McCarthyism, whether it is a McCarthy (R) or a McCarren D) or a Jenner (R) or a McClellan (D) or a Truman (D) who practic es it. Mr. Scarborough is right even we who oppose McCarthyism sometimes stoop to it. But at least we do not deny, or justify, the hypocrisy. In conclusion, 1 should like to bring the following quote from the "New York Times": "He (McCarthy) has been of no iuse whatever in enabling us to distinguish among sinner, fools, and patriots, except in the nega tive sense that many of us have foegun to suspect that there must be some good, however small, in anybody who has aroused Sena tor McCarthy's ire." Penegar (Continued from page 1) appeals or glittering generalities so recently evident in the campaign. I will continue, to deplore this kind of approach to a democratic elec tion. "Finally I will deplore the use of trumped-up issues like independ ent versus fraternity splits as a de liberate attempt to distract atten tion from our real problems and promote false discord on the cam pus. "In order to provide discussion on real problems of local concern, I am asking the editor of the Tar Heel and his editorial board to sub mit a question to each of the can didates several times during the campaign next quarter and have each of the candidates write his opinion on that topic, both to ap pear at the same time in the paper." HOW 17117 V i -OA AC 13 v TUB AVSfrV' INAMB OF AUcCAfZONy MB - V ilt - I A.Z.F. Wood, Jr.- A Noble "So, you want to be a sports writer?" said the sage old veteran "Yessir," said the youthful as pirant. "Well, my boy, let me give you a few hints that will help you in the pursuit of eminence in your chosen profession." The veteran paused to run gnarled fingers through his hoary mane and to chain-light another cigarette. "For example," he continued, "Suppose that Navy had beaten Pen in a football game and you had the job of affixing a headline to the story. What would your headline be?" The youth shrugged uncompre ihendingly. "Navy Beats Penn," he said simply. "Ah," said the sage, That's aiot what you would say if you wanted to keep your job. You would say something to the effect that Navy had 'swamped' Penn." A light .flickered in the youth's eye. "Oh, I see," said he, "And if Penn had beaten Navy, the headline would be Penn 'sinks' Navy." "That's the idea," said the old man, "Only 'scuttles' would be ibetter. And the same idea would hold true for the other colleges. The Princeton Tigers would 'claw' Yale, Furman would 'tame' the Davidson Wildcats, William and Mary would 'scalp' Virginia, and so on. And if the college has n't a colorful nickname, you can use 'rout', 'drub', 'slaughter', 'run rough-shod', 'nip', 'smear', 'clob ber'. But never 'beat'." The youth was regarding the old sage intently and in his eyes was admiration. "Now," said the old man, "Let me give you a sort of a quiz." "Shoot," said the youth. He was confident now. . "What is a football player?" "A gridder." "What is a football?" "A pigskin." "What does the gridder do with the pigskin?" "He carries the mail or lugs the leather." "What is a touchdown?" "That's when you hit pay dirt." "What is a football coach?" "A mentor." "What do you do when you score a basket?" -rti -&tA ojBiT 9& Vo-tiLZp THE SONG OP THE 5AA1& TlTtB WHO STUCK A PPATUPiz .w u' HAT AN CAUP it AACCAEONy J Profession "Ripple the nets."

"Is the death rate high er among males or females?" "Do emotional upsets have any effect on the heart?" These and other questions most frequently asked about heart dis eases are answered by specialists of the American Heart Association in a new booklet entitled "101 Questions About Your Child's Heart and Your Own," now availa ble for distribution, according to Mrs. Betty Reina, educational dir ector of the North Carolina Heart Association. The questions and answers point up the advances made in cardiac research, in surgery, and in the prevention and treatment of rheu matic fever, she said. As an indication of the value of this booklet, Mrs. Reina said that it clarifies many misconceptions about the symtoms of the heart diseases and explains the physiol ogy of the heart and circulatory system. Sections are devoted also to con genital heart defeats, high blood pressure, and hardening of the ar teries. to IS "&efJ7 A To BB-HH ATTENDED WOULD so understood osY.tAriV.V BETTER THAN WE SjQfllf UNDERSTOOD J MfHJiL I I A.
