PAGE TWO THE DAILY TAR HEEL TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2$, 1953 Sex Etc. Illliil' In a column on today's editorial page Gen nifer Johnson takes a long, low cut at one of America's fastest-selling commodities: Mari lyn Monroe. We anticipate a bit of male reaction so we'd like to say this in early defense: Genni fer isn't speaking from envy. Can They Find The Answers? '4 Now that the head of the Visiting Com mittee for the Ford Foundation grant has been named, the able Wallace Carroll, exec utive news editor of the Winston - Salem Journal, Carolina gets underway a project of magnitude. Carolina shares with the Universities of Chicago, Michigan, Harvard and Stanford grants from this foundation to do research in the "scientific study of human behavior," advancement of peace, democratic institu tions, economic well-being, and education. A list of challenging topics. There is one observation that The Daily, Tar Heel wants to make. The question of the advancement of peace, democratic institu tions, economic well-being, and education have perpetually confronted man. They were, every one, questions the Greeks mulled over, day after day. So on down to here and" now. They are the classics of problems. Time has given them their classic nature, and there are few responsible students who don't give them thought. But the first study we mentioned, the "scientific study of human behavior" has caught our eye. There, in a nutshell, is the nucleus of all the great questions that con front us. If we could answer these questions, then problems of the advancement of peace and the preservation of democratic institutions would be unnecessary. Let's Be Copycat The Daily Athenaneum of West Virginia University announces that the school library is featuring a display of the works of William Faulkner. It includes volumes of the tMissis sippian's work in both English and foreign lansuaes. Some volumes are owned by the library and some are loaned for the display. Here's a good idea, we think, for our Uni versity Library. The Daily, .Tar, . Heel has found previous exhibitions here novel and we've commented on them. Now, in line with past successes, the Library could devote some of its cases to showing material on our great contemporary writers. Men such as Faulkner, Ernest Heming way, John Steinback, and John does Passos, to mention a representative few, have demon strated their ability to interpret what goes on in 20th century society. We need these in ights and interpretations. The survival of ur world may rest upon them.

Night editor for this issue: Rolfe Neill YOU Said It I guess I'm just the jealous type. On the front page of Friday's, Daily Tar Heel you had nine ar ticles and two pictures which dis- cussed various people. Yet never once did you mention the fact that all these people except one were White. Needless to say you did state that the only non-White person and band were Negro (sic), but I don't think that's fair to us White people. I do wish in the future when ever you have any articles about white people, you will name them as such. Irv Schulman Tax Tree Surgeons Editor: I. am editing the anecdotes of my kinsman Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), and shall be hap py to hear from your readers who have Twain stories or anecdotes. Cyril Clemens Mark Twain Quarterly Webster Groves, Mo. That Monroe Gennifer Johnson People are beginning to wonder how long Marilyn Monroe can keep up her act and still remain a box-office draw. It's hard to know how much of her activities are purely publicity stunts. To me her sulden rise to fame is a cheap trick that any babe could pull if she ohose to do so at the price of her reputation. In my opinion, her outlandish costumes and yellow hair are a shallow shroud to cover her empty head and lack of acting ability. She has taken sex for a vulgar ride, overdoing it by her exagger ated wiggle and breathy voice. If she carries her antics too far, she will cease to be the "Sex Queen" and be merely a joke. Her appearance at the gathering of Photoplay awards bears out this fact, for as she sashayed in a skin tight gold dress to receive her eward as the fastest rising star, newsreel audiences tittered at her affected, breathy thank-you. There are many beauties in Hollywood who use their allure without cheapening it or making a vulgar spectacle of themselves. Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor or Virginia Mayo are examples of . such types. Marilyn has no taste in clothes and looks artificial like any tramp or streetwalker, yet Hollywood will insist on pouring a lot of ridiculous publicity about Marilyn's private life into the press. We are told that she is not dumb, just bluntly honest, likes classical music and has a passion for Tolstoi and Emerson. We are further informed that she is lov able and sweet. I don't doubt that for an instance,- only I would term it just plain simpleness. To pjace a woman such as Mon roe up on a pedestal as an exam ple of American beauty and sex seems to show that Americans have low set of standards and cheap sense of beauty. In my opinion, Hollywood realizes the juvenile attitude that the average American male has toward sex and is merry using Marilyn's as sets to draw in the cash -by sugar coating her liabilities with corn stories. She's going to have a tough job trying to live up to the name she has created for herself. She'll have to keep thinking up new The Washington Merry-Go-Round Drew Pearson WASHINGTON - It isn't sup posed to leak out, but Georgia's stern Sen. Dick Russell, leader of the Southern Democrats, wrote a blistering, four-page letter to Secretary of Defense Wilson, tak ing him over the verbal coals for his softness toward POW col laborators. A power in the Senate and No. 1 Democrat on the Armed Ser vices Committee, Russell angrily demanded dishonorable dis charges for POW's who signed false confessions or turned on their fellow prisoners. This is the inside reason why Wilson suddenly shift ed to a tougher attitude toward the prisoners. Previously he had taken the fhij&& fciJ advice of the Armed Forces Policy Council, which argued that some prison ers had been tortured and brain washed beyond endurance and were not mentally responsible for their actions. As a result, he or dered the armed services to con sider each case separately and sympathtically. In his private letter to Wilson, the Georgia Senator declared: "If we are again compelled to take up arms in our defense with the idea prevalent that the De partment does not distinguish be tween those who resisted heroi cally to the last breath as com pared with the collaborators and false confessors, I do not see how we can expect the young men gags to pull to keep the eager males ogling and gasping . Can she ever learn to act? I ask you, will the sun ever come up at night? from 18 to 25, wno must fight our wars, to measure up to what will be expected of them. "Permit me to suggest," Rus sell continued, "that it is most important that either you or the president or the head of one of the defense agencies or some member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff make some statement which will let every young American serviceman and young men who will soon be in the service clear Jy understand that our govern ment strongly disapproves of both collaborators and false con fessors. "My views may be extreme," Russell added forcefully, "but I believe that those who collaborat ed and the signers of false con fessions should be immediately separated from the service under conditions other than honorable ... It is evident that the defense agencies under your direction hold other views." The Georgian also telephoned Adm. Arthur Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and ;gave him the same view. The ad miral listened sympathetically, but passed the buck to Wilson. NOTE The United States has asked the British to crack down on Alan Winnington, correspond end for the London Daily Work er, who helped torture American fliers into confessing a part in "germ warfare." once almost fired from the Jus tice Department. His father, a Democratic politician, pulled strings to get young Roy appoint ed to the New York District At torney's office. But the D. A., Myles Lane, soon had enough of him and threatened to fire him. Again the elder Cohn pulled Democratic strings, and. then Attorney General Jim McGran ery transferred Roy out of Lane's jurisdiction. But McGranery also became fed up with the young man and notified him bluntly that he had two days to get out. Roy begged to be kept on, how ever, until he could transfer to McCarthy's committee . . . Anoth er McCarthy assistant, Don Sur ine, was fired from the FBI for conspiring with a lady in a white slavery case. This Is a matter of sworn testimony in th U. S. Dis trict Court. Senate Labor Chairman Alex Smith has urged the White House not to name a new Secretary of Labor until Congress comes back. He argues that it will give op ponents too much time to dig up ammunition against the appoint ee before he can. be confirmed. . . Senator McCarthy's boy wonder, Roy Cohn, has been trying to shush up the fact that he was In a dramatic though secret bid to end the cold war before it erupts into an atomic-hydrogen war, German and Austrian diplomats have urged a new peace-by-negotiation plan. They have sounded out Russia and the United States about withdrawing their forces from Germany and Austria." The idea would be to break off contact between Russian and American forces in Europe, there by reducing friction. Both sides would pull out of central Europe. Germany and Austria, in turn, would then guarantee strict neu trality in the power struggle be tween East and West. The British, anxious to reduce tension in Europe, seem to fa vor the plan. They are talking about conbining it with a non aggression pact, which would bring an armistice in the cold war. P o G O f NAMASMl&H (A 50IB I5BOG6EPINTO AVmTABOSBlS SA& SASSO, POCrO AN' I GONE!

"I been took." I thought his grammar could be better. "So could grandpa," he shrugged. "What pains me is, I always heard this stuff about the 'survival of the fittest.' The way w got xt set up, it is the sur vival of the un-fittest." I didn't catch? "Well, here's the pitch," The Horse said: "What you guys do when you come to collect cavalry horses and such? You , take the best, yes?" Well, naturally. What else? "iOkay, so explain the 4-F provision" The Horse said. "Us good equines, as they say, can carry a moron up Popo catepetl. In fact, maybe that would be a good idea. So what do they do? They get out a series of tests to determine the smart or the sound guys, and pfft, off we go the best horses and the best men. What you got left?" Well, was he casting reflec tions on the Home Guard? "I should be caught carrying 'rnals to Newcastle." The Horse snapped. "Listen, this reminds me of a guy in Psy chology who hollers, 'Nobody ain't gonna smoke in In here, see, and usses is gonna go two hours wid dout rest.' Nuts to the University rule that two-hour classes get a five-minute break to . . . well, what whatever you got to. Lissen, have we reached Higher Eddyeashun an' we gotta say, 'Teacher, can we leave the room? " I thought this was drawing a long bow. "I can't draw worth a durn," The Horse growled. "And when I do, I usually draw parallels. Who wants parallels in this here now world? Parallels run for ever without touching, and is this sexy?" The Horse glared at me. "Is this legal? Is this thinning?" Just what was be getting at? "I think," The Horse said, "George Bernard Shaw said that anything worth while doing was either im moral, fattening, or illegal. If he didn't say it, I bet he wished he had." Capital, old boy. But back to the point. "Leave us examine this a moment," The Horse suggested. Let us examine it a moment. "Redundancy ill becomes you," The Horse clut tered. "I thought of it first. As James Joyce might say, a pub is a pub is a pub." That sounded like Gertrude Stein. "Your hearing," The Horse observed, "is as faul ty as your rearing. I said Joyce." Oh. That Irishman. "Yes, you will have to forgive him," The Horse said. "He was from the south of Ireland, which some misguided people presume is the best part of any country the south." But it was. In the United States, that is. "Ochone, and wurra wurra," The Horse exclaim ed. "Not to mention slantha wallega. We were dis cussing the survival of the unfittest. My claim is, the best men die in the wars, because we screen out the others and keep them to home, like they were something precious. Now, if we could only figure a way to kill the best dames off, we would have a real race. True, it might be a rat-race, but we would have it." Interesting. But was it true some thick Mick read The Horse's column on elephant-guns and decided The Horse was subversive? "Submersive," The Horse corrected. "Sea-Mares, I aim to date. They are equine mermaids. That's the way I see it, anyway." ' Sometimes, The Horse sees real good! You-all . . .

Naturally, declarer was pleased with being doubl ed at one club and passed it out. Then came the on slaught and he wasn't so pleased. Mr. Peacock trumped the opening diamond lead and entered his partner's hand with the queen of hearts for another diamond ruff. He then led the king of hearts which was overtaken by Mr. Kelton who allowed him to ruff another diamond. Again, Peacock entered his partner's hand, this time with the ace of spades. And again, he ruffed another dia mond. Declarer finally got into the lead by trumping a spade return. After knocking out the ace of clubs, r?u flaimed the reainder of the tricks.
