So spoke Norman Thomas, Socialist and six-time. Presidential candidate, at the Carolina Forum Discussion last evening. Mr. Thomas was introduced by De in Fred Weaver, Dean of Student Affairs, who OC7CJS talks Of , The recent Congressional elec tion in the tl. S. "doesn't prove much,"; said Norman Thomas in aa' interview with The Daily Tar ! Heel yesterday. j The - most remarkable thing, about the elections, he thinks, is the wide configuration of results in -. different 'localiteis. 1 Thomas a tall,' amiable, white- thatched' gentlemen of 70 years, I moved' over a wide range of sub-' jects in his" interview. i In the Oppenheimer decision, he said, he believes he would have - taken' the position (against suspension) expressed by Dr. Hen- ry Smyth. Dr. . Smith dissented from the Gray Board opinion. His stand on tne issue, Thomas said, i is close to former High Commis- i sibner John J. McCloy's favoring "positive security." McCloy thought that Dr. Oppenheimer's value to the country far outweigh ed any of the charges against him. McCarthy and McCarthyism, he thinks, are '"a bad ..skin disease and , not a cancerA" ; The Commun ist movement "is conspiratorial in nature, he said, and "not a crea ture of (the. investigators') super heated imagination." As an out spoken defender of civil liberties, Thomas, however, strongly oppos es McCarthyist tactics.

Miss Rehder said Betty Smith, author of "A Tree Grows in (See PUTNAM, page 4) UUnmi If ': Writer, 50GBOllSVi khad been introduced previously by Joel Fleishman, chairman of the Carolina Forum. Thomas, who has been aptly de scribed as being against an up stream current because of his so cialistic beliefs, roused the , audi ence with his radical beliefs con cerning the current state of affairs of the United States. A former minister, Mr Thomas asserted that "straighter thinking is the basic need of the American i peoples if universal peace is to be achieved." Commenting on segregation, the dramatic socialist leader said that he "likes the way that the Su preme Court decision has been re ceived by the South, especially the reaction of Southern religious in stitutions." . "Communism," Thomas further asserted, "is not to be regarded as a supernatural power. It must be thoroughly understood in order to be dealt with." "World disarmament in which military powers are reduced to a police level should be enforced by a rejuvenated United Nations," he added. Aging but still fiery, Thomas, who in two weeks will celebrate his seventieth birthday, also at tacked the campaign tactics of both political parties in the recent election. Describing the position of nations in the current state of affairs, the able orator compared them to "quarrelling cats, confined to the same cage." The socialistic political element was described by its leader as be ing "a catalytic agent to bring forth realignment between the po litcal factions." Turning to the McCarthy ques tion, Thomas reiterated his former comment that "McCarthy is more of a skin disease than a fatal can cer." ways - - i i - :''r;'-:- h t'v'V: A t 4 ; - - i if - , 9 ' S Homecoming Festivities Are Many Celebration of homecoming will begin tonight with "a "Little Ab ner" torchlight parade beginning at 9 o'clock.

The first issue got ta the resi dents; of Grimes dorm yesterday.

Good Weekend Predicted For UNC Area "All in all this looks like a good football weekend with plenty of blue skies and chilly weather," said an employee of the Raleigh - Durham Airport Weather Bureau yesterday. Rain is due for this morning, but as far as the weather bureau could see tonight should be cool and dry.

Young, chairman of the ar rangements. The Duke Ambassa Frosh Like Courses Statements made by some of the i 26 freshmen taking part in a spe cial program show that the group likes the program. j The 26 freshmen are taking spe-1 cial courses in mathematics, phil- j osophy, social science and Eng-j lish. The four proiessors leading the program are William S. Wells of the English Dept., E. A. Cam eron of the Mathematics Dept., James E. King Jr. of the Social Science Dept. and Everett Hall of the Philosophy Dept. Members of the special group have the four classes together.
