Speaking For You?
; Those who sympathize" with McCarthy's
methods of investigation have contended for
r tnat tne points upon which he has
some tn., , .r . ,
been attacked art moot-though they have
yet to persuade us. ,...'ZZl : t
The New York Times, under an editorial
section headline, "Europe on McCarthy,"
has come up with a compendium on the sen
ator which cannot be called debatable. The
first - hand re
ports demon
strate bluntly
that the inquisi
tor from Wis
consin is sowing
e-41 m i t y and
skepticism to
ward this coun
try among our
most valuable
allies.
The French,
for example, be
lieve that Mc
Carhtyism is the
ugly duckling
child of a long
apparent cul
ture lag in the
United States.
In this lag, in
dustrial capaci
ties have made
a tortoise of our
puffing intel
lectual capaci
ties. But general
opinion in
France is hope
ful that McCar
thy may be at
last entering the
grinding process
that will wear
him down to
proper size. It has the idea, however, that
the man and the method exist separately.
We may fit the man back into the scope of
things. But the French suspect that his tac
tics have left a noticeable imprint on our
national thinking.
Opinion in the strategic state of West Ger
many agrees that regulation on McCarthy
has not been forceful enough. iMost disturb
ing in Germany is "Shadenfreude" a mali
cious glee many persons there are taking be
cause they have found in McCarthyism the
hypocrisy of American leadership.
British closeness to the channels of Ameri
can communication and to the strongly anti
McCarthy segment in the U. S. causes more
optimism there than elsewhere. Although the
English believe McCarthy is confronitng his
first real challenge, they are confident that
he will come out on the short end- The en
trance of Nixon on the other side of the
fence from McCarthy, flimsy though the
fence may be, meets the British, notion that
fire against fire was needed all the time. They
regard the political ambitions of one as equal
to those of the other. They hope the antago
nism will burn itself out for the best.
The Times reports indicate the danger:
that the thinking of a whole nation must look
so uniform from the outside that it can be
identified with the warped personality of
one man.
But there are signs of optimism. As Sir
Winston said once, "dictators ride to and fro
on tigers which they dare not dismount. And
the tigers are getting, hungry-"
FACULTY evaluation, schedul
ed for tonight, can only be suc
cessful if students do their best
to give honest opinions on each
of their instructors, li the thing
is handled sincerely, it will be of
benefit to teachers and students
alike. Naturally, there will be
some soreheads who will attempt
to get even with faculty members
for low grades. These are to be
expected, and will be discounted
in the final evaluation. Most stu
dents will give the thing full co
operation which is all it needs
to be a complete success. .

GOP To Run Against Velde
Drew Pearson
nie
WASHINGTON The
House
so Committee on Un-American Activ
ities, now pretty well dwarfed by
the gymnastics of a Senator from
Wisconsin, is having one of its few
full-committee meetings today.
One reason for its infrequent meet-
CONTROVERSY over Senator in& is that Republicans as well as
uemocrats nave oeen sore at tne
spicy comedy that caused
much discussion when it was
transplanted from the stage to
the screen during the past year.
McCarthy's demand for radio
time to answer Adlai Stevenson
resulted in some interesting edi
torial comments. Washington
Post: "If Senator McCarthy were
given free time on the air when
ever anyone spoke of him disre
spectfully, he would be talking
incessantly which sometimes
'seems to be the case anyhow."
The Washington News: "Senator
'McCarthy can demand time to
answer Senator Flanders if he
wants to attend the Senate some
time when it is in session."
"THIS WASNT on the menu,"
the Tulane University student
told the girl behind the serving
line in the; school cafeteria. He
was pointing to a red rubber ball
which was sitting in his bowl of
chili. Before the ensuing ruckus
was over, the cafeteria manage
ment and the Dean of Students
had accused The Hullabaloo, Tu
lane student newspaper, of plant
ing the ball in the chili in order
to get a picture for the paper. An
architecture student walked on
the scene a short time later and
confessed that he had done the
thing with his own little hands.
No one seems to know whether
the original diner in the case
ever got another bowl of chili.
helter-skelter tactics of the com
mittee's unpredictable chairman,
Harold Velde. Another is that sub
committee meetings have been
held in key areas partly to un
earth embarrassing political in
formation that
will influence
local elections.
Though Velde
has toned down
his habit of pre
noon drinking
which sometim
es made him so
difficult as a
presiding offic
er, Republicans s
way he
PEARSON
are still sore over the
subpoenaed Harry .Truman with
out consulting other committee
members. They feel this balled
up the carefully laid Brownell
plan to pin the Harry Dexter
White matter squarely on Tru
man. These are some of the reasons
why Republicans in Velde's own
congressional district are plan
ning to run another Republican
against him in the Illinois pri
mary - Meanwhile, one Republican on
Velde's own committee, GOP Con
gressman Pat Kearney of New
York, a former Commander cf
the American Legion, is thumbs
down on Veide and sometimes
votes with the Democrats. How
ever, one Democrat, Morgan
Moulder of Missouri, sometimes
sides with Velde.
A Congressman with a good re
cord, Moulder persuaded Velde to
give a job to the brother of his
good-looking secretary, and ap
parently feels beholden to the
chairman as a result. The brother,
George Williams, has a $9,211.28
job with the committee though
out of college only four years
not bad for a young man of 25.
So maybe Congressman Moulder
can be forgiven for being grate
ful. Meanwhile, also, Congressman
Velde has one staff member, Les
lie Scott, assigned to checking his
own constituents back in Illinois,
with a view to promoting the
Congressman's re-election. His
salary, paid by the taxpayers, is
$6,927.78.
The Velde committee has spent
nearly $500,000 since the begin
ning of the 83rd Congress and
when you look over the payroll
you can understand why.
One day, after the White House
staged a record lobbying drive
with the House of Representativ
es to pass the President's tax bill
and preserve teamwork between
the Executive and Congress, John
Foster Dulles took an opposite
stand before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
Asked by Senator Fulbright of
Arkansas why he didn't do some
thing about the way McCarthy
was wrecking American foreign
policy abroad, the Secretary of
State replied:
"tt is fifit my responsibility as
a member of the executive branch
to get into a problem which I be
lieve is the responsibility of the
legislative branch."
The Eisenhower tax victory in
the House of Representatives
marks not only one step up on
the Republican tax program but
the development of the smoothest-working
machine Capitol Hill
has seen in years.
Every President tries to de
velop a lobbying organization
with Congress some successful
ly, some not so successfully. FDR
was highly successful, Harry
Truman was not. At first Presi
dent Eisenhower maintained a
hands-off policy, but of late he
has gone in for pressuring Con
gress as vigorously and perhaps
more expertly than any other
recent President. "
In order to defeat the $700 tax
dependency allowance, recalci
trant Republicans were promised
jobs and campaign, funds' if they
voted right; were called traitors
to the party if they voted wrong.
One of the most effective lobby
ing weapons was the old Citizens
for Eisenhower Committee, now
renamed the Committee To Elect
a Republican Congress, which has
been collecting fat-cat campaign
funds and has threatened to with
hold them from noncomforming
Republicans.
That was why even GOP Con
gressman Ayres of Akron, who
warned that to vote against the
$700 dependency allowance meant
defeat, changed his mind and vot
ed for what he said was defeat

To Revise
CPU Roundtable-
At its meeting Sunday the Carolina Political
Union discussed various proposals for revising or
amending the United Nations charter. It was agreed
at the outset of the evening that the problem
should be attacked from the viewpoint of what
amendments we would like to see incorporated into
the charter and we should not take into con
sideration the question of whether these proposals
would have any likelihood of securing approval
from the Soviet. It was generally agreed that it
would be a difficult, if not impossible, task at the
moment. Nevertheless, the following suggestions
were discussed.
It was felt by most of the group that the proced
ure for the admission of new members should not
include action by the Security Council prior to con
sideration by the General Assembly. It was sug
gested that the Revisionary Conference propose an
amendment to the charter allowing the General
Assembly to take up the admission of new mem.
bers without recommendations by the Security
Council.
The question of restricting the use of the veto
power by any members of the "Big Five" on the
Security Counci was next dealt with. The consensus
seemed to be that the charter should be amended
so as to forbid the use of the veto on the admission
of new members (if the Security Council continues
to exercise prior jurisdiction) and on the election
of a Secretary-General of the UN. The group fav
ored the continuation of the veto power on amend
ments to the' UN charter, and on questions of world
security of direct importance. Several participants
stated that they believed an' amendment should be
made to specifically guarantee the continuation of
business in the Security Council in spite of the walk.,
out of any of the "Big Five."
It was generally agreed that the General Assem
bly should be allowed to discuss matters concurrent
with discussion of these same matters in the Se
curity Council. '
It was suggested by some members of the group
that it should be required of all UN nations that
they have universal, unrestricted, and free suffrage
in all elections.
To avoid the possibility of armed conflict as a
result of certain disputes between nations, the
group proposed that the charter should require the
compulsory settlement of disputes by arbitration,
negotiation or mediation. The last resort should be
arbitration with the compulsory acceptance of the
verdict.
Tile charter should also be revised so as tc
include certain questions of interpretation which'
have arisen in the past ten years regarding the
meaning of various articles. There should be a def
inite procedure outlined in the charter for the dis
position of these questions of interpretations.
In summary, the group believed that in spite of
the many defects in the structure and procedure of
the United Nations, the main difficulty is the exist
ence of tension between the major power blocs in
the world. This situation will continue in spite of
any revisions that are made in the charter. Further
more, it was felt that we should not regard the
United Nations solely as an instrument for settling
disputes by pacific methods. The United Nations
should strive to correct the economic and social
problems which are underlying the other problems
which we see.
To paraphrase Adlai Stevenson, it is misleading
to judge the United Nations only by the failures
which we see mirrored in the headlines of the
newspapers across the face of the world. For every
minute, hour, day and week which we spend in the
various council chambers, the United Nations is
making progress, slow though it may be, towards
solving the gigantic problems which solutions must
be the basis for any society which will be governed
by the eternal idea of peace on earth and goodwill
toward men. Joel Fleishman.
YOU Said !t
Editor:
Keeping up with the daily volley of charges and
countercharges by the candidates for the editorship
of the DTH, I might like to make certain observa
tions. I could not but help recoil at the shock of Mr.
Peacock's bland statement that he was undoubtedly
the best qualified candidate for the post of editor.
He has claimed that he is at least as literate as
Mr. Kuralt. Surprisingly enough, perhaps, I feel
that Tom. Peacock has not shown as much qualifica
tion for the job as he seems to think in his some
what egocentric fashion.
It appears rather irresponsible for an editorship
candidate to make "golden promises" so often con
fused with candidates for other posts. Mr. Peacock
has spoken for a big-time athletic policy, a caravan
trip to Tulane, and against Saturday classes. He
must be groping for issues, evidently, because he
may not be able to stand on his ability to put out
a DTH that would reflect the finest traditions of
editorial leadership at UNC.
The ridiculous statement of his campaign mana
ger that Mr. Peacock would be best for the coeds is
further reflection of the type of half-truth battle
he is waging.
And the very idea of calling Phin Horton a "liar!"
I challenge Tom Peacock to take this into a student
court and prove it.
