Right? Yes. Wrong? Yes.
Democrats, Republicans
Debate H. D. White Case
By J. D. Wright
Attny.-Gen. Brownell: Right or wrong in the Harry Dexter White
Case?
Right, said the Republicans; wrong, said the Democrats, in debate
last night in uerrara riaii Detore
an audience of about 15 people,
part of whom came from Raleigh.
Initial debators for the Young
Democrats Cluo were Bob Windsor
and John Sanders, both law stu
dents here. Representing the
GOP's campus faction were David
Mundy, Bill Scarborough and
Lewis Brumfield.
Democrat Windsor started the
debate, charging that Brownell's
actions in the White Case was a
kick-off to a 1954 Republican Party
publicity campaign to gain votes.
But, he added, the campaign has
backfired. He accused Brownell of
disregarding his fundamental duty
to defend. Said Windsor, "The
attorney-general's action was not
that the nation be made more se
cure from subversion but that the
Republican Party be made more
secure from the wrath of disil
lusioned voters."
The White Case broke when
Brownell told a luncheon group
that ex-President Truman know
ingly allowed to stay and then
promoted a communist in the U. S.
government.
Xext up was the GOP's Mundy
who accused the Democrats of
being two-faced in maintaining
the GOP had brought up the issue
of a man dead five years. "Up in
my county (Buncombe) during the
last election," Mundy said, "Roy
Taylor (Democrat) . . . declaimed
against Ulysses Grant President
Grant died before White was born
and you Democrats say we're talk
ing about a dead man."
Brumfield followed Mundy and
poured on more Republican argu
ment: "Obviously Attny. "Gen.
Brownell has not thought that
Truman was a traitor to our coun
try. He just did not understand,
as millions of other people do not,
how Truman could have made such
an oversight.
"And it is still more puzzling
when Truman did not honor the
subpoena."
Sanders, president of the student
body in 1950 and a leading Young
Democrat, took up his party's bur
den. Sanders called Brownell's
action "as but a small part of a
grand conspiracy, a conspiracy in
form against the Democrtic Party;
a conspiracy in fact against our
traditions of political responsibil
ity, of fair play and of regard for
the truth above partisan misuse.
"... Though Mr. Brownell is
part of the Ike wing of the GOP,
it is obvious now his sideshow
boomeranged against his own boss

Proposed UMT Plan For Your Kid Brother
Newest Military Training Plan
Would Use 'Lottery' Selection
By Charles Kuralt
Universal military training, as
set forth this week in recom
mendations to President Eisen
hower by a special commission,
may be nearer than you think.
It probably won't come along in
time to affect students now in col
lege, but younger brothers of Car
olina students and maybe even
their future offspring will almost
certainly be affected if the plan
becomes law.
The new program is called Na-

Persevere Is
Miss Rehder's
Hint To Writer
"The creative writing teacher
must be something between a pas
tor's assistant and a lay psychia
trist," Mis Jessie Rehder told
members of the Press Club at their
meeting this weeek.
Miss Rehder is a lecturer and
creative writing teacher in the De
partment of English.
"The writing teacher's role is to
find an entry into the student's in
terests arid style, and to guide him
in the development of his own cre
ation," she explained. "Even if you
can't help the student to write,
you can direct or redirect his tal
ent into the sphere where he will
function best.
"A real writer will have the per
severance to keep returning to his
work though it is often rejected,
because he can't help writing."
Miss Rehder joined the faculty
here in 1947 after some free lance
writing and some publishing com
pany experience. She'received her
A.B. degree from Randolph-Macon
and an M.A. from Columbia Uni
versity. - Jerry -Epps, Press Club presi
dent, announced that the next
meeting of the Club will be held

stantially the same. The big dif
ference is that the new plan would
not be "universal" at first.
Eventually, however, the pro
gram would encompass all of the
country's youth except divinity
;students, conscientious objectors,
and sole surviving sons. It would
include men who could drive a
truck or serve as clerks even if
they were unfit for combat duty.
In outline, here's the way it

Red Paper

Circulated
On Campus
Several UNC students yesterday
received through the mails news
papers published by the. Commu
nist Party, U.SJL.
The- Mimegoraphed paper, two
pages long and; printed on both
sides, is titled "Fighter for Peace."
It is published by the Student Sec
tion, Carolina district, Communist
Party, U.S.A., Chapel Hill, accord
ing to the paper..
The paper states that it is work
ing for peace, and says, "An era
of peace is the only framework
within which students and young
people' can plan lives useful to
themselves and their fellows, rath
er than lives molded by the mili
tary and at the service of war."
(The second page is taken up by
a dialogue "by a Negro student of
Marxism" and is "dedicated to the
promotion of unity among all peo
ples in the quest for freedom for
Negro America and all the Colo
nial peoples of the world." One of
the dialogue characters, Joe, says:
"I haven't got much use for the
Russians, but they would be doing
me a favor if they would come
over one night and whip hell out
of the Dixiecrats and demagogues.
I wouldn't cry in nobody's chapel
over that. HA!"
The newspaper attacked The
Daily Tar Heel's columnist, Pal
inurus, in reference to his article
in the October 31st issue of UNC
newspaper. Palinurus, comment
ing on the attack, said yesterday,
"I am honored to be attacked by
the Communists."
"A program to defend America"
is outlined in the Communist pub
lication, Its steps are: "For a Big
Five pact of peace; for a peace
time economy . for a restora
tion of the Bill of Rights . . ." and
"End the discrimination and vio
lence against the Negro peeople."
ice.
Those whose lots pick them for
training would get a choice of
months in the year following their
eighteenth birthday for the train
ing to begin. High school students
of 18 would be allowed to gradu
ate before their training begins;
college students would be given
until the end of their academic
year. If students can sign up for
ROTC training before they are 18,
the ROTC will be considered a
substitute for the training plan.
But other deferments now author
ized by law will be disallowed for
induction into training.
fThose who draw lots indicating
two years service would come un
der the same system as at present.
They probably wouldn't be called
up until they were 19 or 20 and
could be deferred for college.
President Eisenhower is expect
ed to submit the program to Con
gress. It is considered to have a
better chance of passage than the
old UMT bill, which failed.
Trainees under the new system
would have a bigger reserve obli
gation than draftees. Trainees,
after their six months of training,
would have to serve seven and
one-half years in the Ready Re
serve, which means they could be
recalled the minute an emergency
occurred. The draftees have a six
year reserve obligation after their
two years of active military serv
ice, but this is in the stand-by Re
serve which is not called until the
Ready Reserve is exhausted.
The five man commission, the
National Security Training Com
mission, which devised this "lot
tery" plan for fixing the form of
service, saw several advantages to
the idea. Among them:
1. The nation would not again
have to recall veteran Reservists
ahead of non-veteeraens, removing
the present "deplorable inequity
which has created a class of priv
ileged deferees, while multiplying
the burden on those who serve,
and then are the only trained re
serve for any future emergency."
2. The disadvantages of "crisis

drops covering floor, mantles
and piano, making the room look
like a deserted mansion's inter
ior, everything draped in sheets.
On the splattered drops, lad
ders and -wooden planks form a
highway eleven feet in the air,
taking painters in reach of the
ceiling. Up the steps, painter
C. W. Pullen carries buckets of
detergent. He brushes on the
detergent, wearing bulky black
rubber gloves. "James comes
along after me to wash it off,"
he says. After each oak beam
and all the walls are washed,
the eight painters will darken
the wood with varnish.
Along with the splashing of
water in the buckets, the moving
around of the ladders and ham
mering, echo the notes of "Do
Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darl
ing," and the painters' humming
of mountain tunes. They com
municate by yelling "Hey, Jul

across the room and is answered
with "Yea . . . oh!"

Wallace's proposal to the board

The $18,000 surplus built up by
student fees in past years will
pay for the undertaking. The
University consented then to fur

of the hall and downstairs room
adjoining the Rendezvous Room,
if GM would redecorate the
lounge.
The room will have a repaired
and freshly painted ceiling, dark
ened walls, three new Persian
rugs ($2,000 each), upholstered
furniture, loud speakers, new
draperies. A spotlight will shine
on Dr. Frank Graham's picture.
Brown mats and green rugs
rolled in a heap lie on the hall

floor. The lounge card tables
line the floor from the water
fountain to the ladies room.
In the middle of the lounge,
where recently card tables stood
in the midst of chess games, sit
large cans of Dutch Boy linseed
oil. By these cans are cardboard
boxes of varnish and green cans
of shellac. Rags drape the cans,
and sandpaper packages are cov

marks left the panes resembling
commercial Christmas windows.

UNC Dean
Phillips Resigns Post;
To Continue Teaching
Dean Guy B Phillips of the
School of Education has been
elected to serve a three-year term
as a member of the board of trus
tees of the National Joint Coun
cil on Eponomic Education, accord
ing to an announcement just re
ceived from Walter D. Cocking,
New York, chairman of the coun
cil. Professor Phillips has asked to
be relieved of his administrative
duties as dean next June, but he
will continue his teaching duties
in the School of Education.
With headquarters in New York,
the Council is a national, non-profit,
educational organization created
five years ago for the improve
ment of economic education in
the schools. '
One of its methods for promot
ing the teaching of economics is
through establishment of state
councils of teachers and adminis
trators, such as one recently or
ganized in North Carolina, follow
ing workshops where procedures
are outlined and discussed by eco
nomic experts. Last summer's
workshop at the University here
was sponsored jointly by the JCEE
and the Business Foundation of
North Carolina, Inc.
. In notifying Dean Phillips of
his election to the national board
of trustees, Dr. Cocking said, "Our
board is very appreciative of the
the "program for the improvement
support which you have given to
of economic education in your own
state and we trust that you will
now join us in guiding and devel
oping the national effort."
Dean Phillips, in accepting tile
post, said: "I have been very much
impressed by the way these peop!5
in the Joint Council- are approach
ing the tremendous task of helping
the teacher with her complex job
of educating children in economic
understanding. I am pleased that
I have been asked to help in broad
ening this sphere of education in
the nation's schools."
The activities of the Joint Coun
cil are supported by grants from
the Committee for Economic De
velopment and the Fund for Adult
Education. Other board members
now active on the national council
include Beardsley Ruml, and Ed
win G. Nourse, nationally known
economists; G. C. Trillinghairf,
superintendent of the Los Angeles
County School System; John Mt
