Students and faculty are showing little in
terest in an opportunity to win fiiends and
influence people. If willing, they could at a
slight personal bother help combat in a most
effective way Russian influence in Japan.
How? Donate used textbooks.
Seeing that extremely low - cost Russian
texts loaded with false information were be
ing bought by Japanese students in prefer
ence to the relatively high-priced books of U.
S. publishers, an American professor in To
kyo asked for help from home- Arrangements
w.crc made for the postage on the book pack
ages to be paid by the Committee for Free
Asia; the professor would distribute the texts
after they arrived. All we need do, Prof. Mc
Cune said, was send him the books.
Several of the nation's colleges and univer
sities have and are responding. This week.

Although Dulles said in a public
a puDUC an
nouncement that the McLeod rearrange-
. i
ment was "not to te considered a acmouon,
it is obvious that in effect it was. And it was
the I.isenhower Administration cautiously
putting one foot out to test the ice, trying
to find how far it could go against McCarthy.
It is assumed that Dulles acted on the
order of the President. It is hoped that both
Dulles and the President will admit to them
selves what is apparent to mtKh of America:
that it is foolish to avoid an Ike-McCarthy
showdown on the grounds tht it would harm
,he Republican Party for the party already
M,1U drastically. Then, the secretary and
bis president will stop fighting with one hand
tied behind them and go out to meet Goliath.

Chuck Hauser-
SIORTS are supposed to teach
good sportsmanship, and big
time athletic programs are often
defended on that ground. It's a
shame the coaches sometimes set
extremely bad examples of sports'
manship for the boys they guide.
I quote Jack Horner in the Dur
ham Herald last week, discus
sing the antics of Coaches Ever
ett Case and Frank McGuire at
the State Carolina game in Ra
leigh: ". . . fo prore that hard feelings
exist the coaches refused to
shake hands after tonight's slow
moring affair. When the coaches
were questioned by sports re.
porters after the game, McGuire
said he thought tt was vp to the
winning coach to offer a hand
shake and Case expressed the
opinion the losing coach congrat
luates the victor."
I always thought it was kind
of a spontaneous, mutual affair,
with each coach heading for the
other's bench at the close of the
game Rut" if you want to get
technical about it, Case is prob
ably right. It's usually considered
proper for the loser to congrat
ulate the winner.
OVERHEARD in Y Court, the
following conversation between
two students: "The University
just gave me damaging news."
"You're not going to graduate
in June?" "No I am going to
graduate!"
. SENATOR Russell Long was
quoted as saying in Chapel Hill,
"My fhief criticism of Senator
McCarthy is that he has not
found a single Communist which
the FBI did not already know
about." The trouble, Senator, is
that nobody did anything about
them.
NEWS ITEM tells us that
President and Mrs. Eisenhower
returned to the capitol from a
"weekend of quail - hunting in
Thomasville, Ga." and three days
later took off for "about 10 'sun
ny' days in southern California."
I'm glad to hear that Ike consid
ered his job important enough to
stop off at Washington between
vacations.
MANY SMILES could be ob
served around Graham Memorial
after the Student Legislature vot
ed to raise the block fee in order
to increase the student union's
activities program. It costs a lot
more than people realize to sup
port even the activities now
sponsored by GM. For instance,
the fTravel Agency on one of the
building's mezzanines is budgeted
at $500 per year "just to send you
to hell and back," in the words
of one of the GM officials. And
the two weekly dances held in
the Rendezvous Room on Wed
nsday and Friday nights add up
to $33 each for music.
JOHN YOUNG, manager of
WUNC. writes me that the pur
pose of the Swain Hall broadcast,
ing outfit "is not to be a campue
station. . . .We attempt to rep
resent, to the extent practical,
the University to the people of
the state.'' WUNC operates "a a
service of the Communication
Center. . . .We have nothing a
gainst a (campus) station we
just don't happen to bt one."
WUNC has received a large
number of favorable letters from
listeners as far away as the San
ford area. One auch letter, from
Harold W. Gavin of Sanford, la
elude the following compli
ment: "The service you are ren
dering in general is one of the
greatest imaginable." He con
tinues: "To be able to hear your
station, with every program
worthwhile and not interrupted
(SPOILED) by Inane, nauseating,
and too .frequent advertising, is
a contribution toward worth
while living."
FOLKS who were checking the
weight of the Blue and White
penny ballot boxes in the Y got
fooled when Sandy Donaldson
beat Marilyn Habel out for first
place. Marilyn's box was a pound
ahead late Friday before the
polls closed.
No Morale, No Army
WASHINGTON A former of
ficer of the Italian army was sit
ting with a group of Senators
when the question of Secretary
Stevens' capitulation to Senator
McCarthy came up. McCarthy had
been quoted as saying: "If you
want a commission in the Army
I can fix it up for you."
"I doubt If
you Americana
realize what pol
itics can do to
an army," the
Italian said. "I
was a young
captain in the
Italian army
when the Fas-
PEARSON er, and I know
wh.tt politics did.
"It creeps in very subtly before
anyone realizes it. An inferior of
ficer who's a lieutenant is pro
moted to be a captain, simply be
cause he's a friend of the Fascist
regime. Or again, I remember I
once ordered a lieutenant to take
over a work detail and he refus
ed. He said he was busy making
out reports on the army for the
Fascist Party.
"Some people have criticized
the Italian army for caving in
during the war," continued the
former officer. "Politics was the
reason. An army doesn't fight
when it's run on political lines."
Senator Fulbright of Arkansas,
who was listening, remarked: "I
just received a telegram from a
friend calling attention to the
fact that the Egyptian army had
kicked out its premier, the Syri
an army had kicked out its pres
ident, and McCarthy had driven
a political wedge in the Ameri
can army all In the same day." ,
J3h
On The Carolina Front
I hadnt seen him for any length of time since
high school. It was good to bear what he had to say.
"Getting a liberal education is the only way you
can learn anything in college, I tKlnk," he said over
breakfast "But you can't tell ray parents that I
want to study history, and they "want me to go to
the business school."
Taking a swallow of coffee, I thought about hia
folks nice people, business people In a large
southern city. And, although f- agreed with my
friend, I knew he'd have a tbie convincing his
folks that studying history woldd make him a
good businessman. ,
I asked how he had become Interested in the
liberal arts. (
"It's the only way," he explained, "that I could
see any sense to what's going on.
'The world Is getting smaller and smaller. And,
even if you're in business, you should be able to
understand It Accounting and marketing and that
sort of thing ls fine, but there's nothlug there
about people." I
My friend told of a few history teachers who en
couraged him to look into things! And It was easy
to see that he knew what he wanted. More import
ant, perhapav he knew why.
It's that "why" that makes this constant argu
ment between specialization and the liberal arts an
important one.
The business school Is turning out grads whore
well-versed in economic theory accounting, and
marketing. These grads are exposed to little that
makes them look into the humaibincs. They have
'"
"It may' teem farfetched to
you," concluded the Italian ex
captain, "but once a political
leader begins to dominata an
army the line between free gov
ernment and a totalitarian gov
ernment becomes very thin in
deed." Judging from current resent
ment against McCarthy In the
Army there should be no early
danger of his taking over. How
ever, officers recalled last week
how Maj. Gen. Cornelius Ryan,
commander of the 19th Infantry
at Fort Dix had phoned Secre
tary of the Army Stevens to com
plain that McCarthy's office had
been bombarding him to get spe
cial privileges for McCarthy's ex
aide. Gerard David Schine.
"General," replied Secretary
Stevens, "this is one you've got
to handle yourself."
Officers also recalled last week
that when Col. Frances Kreidcl,
commander of the Provost Mar
shal School at Camp Gordon, Ga.,
had protested against Schine's
transfer to his school without suf
ficient qualifications, Kreidel
suddenly was transferred to To
kyo. Remarked Senator Carl Hayden
of. Arizona apropos of the way
the four Republican Senators got
Secretary Stevens to surrender:
"They've been watching these
Communists sd closely that
they've learned how to brain -wash."
. . . Col. Robert R. Mc
Cormick of The Chicago Tribune
amazed Washington by publish
ing a front-page editorial at the
height of the Stevens-McCarthy
controversy telling McCarthy to
lay off the Aony. McCormick
and McCarthy are old friends and
The Chicago Tribune is one of
little to ask themselves "why" about.
(Today with places like Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq on
every newscaster's lips, it's evident to see we're
spreading out The world is becoming small.
Our expansion isn't a string of foreign aid mov
es to keep small nations from going Red, reciprocal-trade
agreements for self-interest, or interna
national Idealism. It's a position of world leader
ship. Democratic countries of the world are asking us,
"Why?" And someone's going to have to know the
answer.
Economics and accounting are only part of the
answer. They are important. But, more important
is the great story of western and eastern civiliza
tion. This is one story that isnt going to be con
densed into a pocket novel, or made into a movie.
It wont be complete on TV either.
The history of other countries and this one, lit
erature that has inspired this and other times, and
decisions reached after pensive thought are things
well have to master. When we do, well have an
idea of what's going on around us.
Meantime, many are content with the economic
theory and accounting. They have little time for
men, much for money. Harvard's President H. M.
Pusey says that "the true business of liberal educa
tion is greatness." He explains that "greatness" as
imparting to students the ability to think things
out and understand themselves and others.
One cant help wondering about the specialists
with economic theories, but few ideas about men.
Could their charts and theories be wrong, or do
they ever worry about it?
Drew Pearson
Joe's itanchest backers, but first
"and last "The Colonel" is an
Army man ... It was because
Senator Langer voted with the
Democrats to adjourn the Sen
ate rather than nold a night ses
skn that majority leader Know
land proposed that the committee
chairman no longer be picked by
seniority. He was aiming of
course at Langer . . . Knowlani
semed to resent Langer vote
against a night session more
than Langer's investigation of
Chief Justice Earl Warren . . .
His colleagues say that Senator.
Dirksen of Illinois who did the
chief job of sweet-talking Secre
tary Stevens into surrender, is
such a good salesman he could
talk a hornets nest out of a tree.
Senator Lyndon Johnson of
Texas has developed one of the
smoothest machines in recent
Democratic history. Colleagues
agree that while it isn't always
right it certainly Ls smooth.
It was this machine that
brought defeat to the Republi
cans when Democrats overrode
Senator Knowland's plan to hold
night sessions on the Bricker
amendment. Every Democrat was
in his seat at the right moment
and voting, except two Syming
ton of Missouri, who was in Eu
rope, and McCarran of Nevada,
who was sick.
Johnson had gone around to
almost all Democrats and said: "I
don't think it's fair to hold night
sessions so early in the session.
We've cooperated on everything
else, but the older Senators can't
be here at night. Senator George
can't get here, and I think well
just have to ask the Republicans
to get their work done in the
daytime."
