Last Week On Campus
Was One Of Contrasts
Charlie Sloan
Personalities made news in Chapel Ilill last week in a wide
range of subjects. The two venerable campus debating societies
inaugurated their new leaders, a phyjicist family was completing
plans for the first "World Conference on Gravitation" ever held in
the United States, a dorm president and the editor of his dorm's
newspaper squared off and exchanged verbal punches, and the en
tire campus was shocked by the resignation of one of its best:liked
administrators.
University Librarian Andrew IL Horn's resignation was announc
ed Thursday afternoon. Although a University regulation requires
that announcements of resignations be made by the Chancellor,
several top officials agreed that the genial administrator is. leaving
Chapel Hill after two and one-half years. '.
Horn's resignatioa was for 'personal: reasons," but it is un
derstood that poor health rand lack of cooperation form the state
legislature contributed to his. decision.' 'At'-, the last session "Of the
legislature the Library's budget was cut ' in T half . ,

A brief flare-up occured in Battle-Vance Pettigrew when Cort
land Edwards, editor of the B-V-P Times, accused Neil Bass, the
dormitory's chief executive, of being neglect in his duties and of
being illegally running an election.
When Edwards' editorial appeared Bass answered with a state
ment calling him an iconoclast and a rabble-rouser. Bass flatly denied
Edwards' charges. "'','.
Edwards commented that, after reading the article, he wondered
". . . who was more libelous "me or (Bass)."
Two residents of Pettigrew then drew up a petition giving Bass
a vote of confidence. Later Bass pointed out that he had received 50
signatures on these petitions, and that IDC President Sonny Hallford
had signed a statement declaring the B-V-P election legal.
When asked to produce the 50 signatures Bass reported that
petitions circulated in Vance had disappeared, and he was only able
to produce 17. He was quick to add that he did not suspect Edwards
of any misconduct in the matter. Bass repeatedly declared that the
affair was only a family squabble, and criticized The Daily Tar
Heel for reporting the series of events.
The dispute is currently deadlocked. Both parties are back on
friendly terms, but the second issue of the B-V-P Times carried
an editorial by Edwards saying that because of lack of cooperation
he was forced to resign. Neither side will admit fault in the in
cident, which brought threats of Honor Council action from boh
sides.

Dr. William Poteat, UNC Associate Professor of Philosophy spoke
at the Dialectic Senate's meeting Tuesday night. The society's of
ficers were inaugurated at the meeting.
President-Elect Stan Shaw delivered an address on "The Role
- of the University and its Responsibilities to the State." In the speech
he said the Di will circulate a petition urging the' state legislature
to help the library. He said he hopes to get 5,000 signatures.
Shaw charged that the state has been neglecting the Library
and that the students must act to change the situation.

After a weekend of contempla
tion Congress of Eisenhower's
Mideast Plan and the Hungarian
.puppet government of its di
lemma a few reactions and de
cisions were reached on Mon
day. ' . '
Congress thought it best to
proceed slowly in granting the
president any "big stick" powers
regarding the Middle Eastern
problem. Many officials wanted
to hang restrictions onto any
such fres hand. '
, Blue Monday became even more
tainted when Premier Janos Ka
dar knocked the props from un-
der the hopes for general liberal
ization policies in the new gov
ernment, by proclaiming a back-to-Stalinism
program.
In Hollywood, a bruised and
battered "body," Marie McDon
ald, related a terribly tragic, if
totally unbelievable, story of her
abduction.
In the Susz Canal, a string of
ships, marooned for two months,
began to move slowly through
the locks and into the Mediter
ranean. Tuesday, Sen. Knowland stole
the headlines in announcing that
he. was going to retire from the
Ssnate to spend more time with
his family. That may have been
true, but many observers be
lieved that, he wanted to spend
that time in the White House
with them in 1960. by way of the
California Governorship.

Wednesday, Rep. Hays (D.
Ohio)- walked out on Secretary
of State , Dulles, charging that
Dulles had asked for unwarrant
ed secrecy necessitated by an
executive session, when he was
of the opinion that the meeting'
should have been kept open to
the public.
F-ench Foreign Minister Pi
neaa was on his way to Washing
ton to seek the same Dulles aid
in trying to break the present
deadlock over the Sue& canal.
In Madrid, Spain, Luis Arrese
Magraz, boss of the Falange par
ty, supposedly caused a govern
ment crisis by offering dictator
-Francisco France his resignation
from the Cabinet. -
hursday morning screamed
headlines across the country of
Prime Minister Sir Anthony
Eden's resignation from the head
of the British goverment the
night before. It seemed, that
coins would be flipped to choose
between R. A. Butler and Har-'
old Macmilian as Eden's sue
cessor4 Hugh Gaitskdll, Labor
Party leader, was caught with
his pants down he was at Har
vard delivering the Godkin
lectures.
In the United Nations, the
Hungarian ' debate was being
fired up by Ambassador Lodge,
who again called for a special
neutral U.N. committee to inves
tigate the Hungarian situation.
Gov. Marvin Griffin of Georgia
had called his militia to a
stand-by during the night to,
guard against "riots, insurrec
tion, and breaches of the . peace"
when six Negro ministers made
a move to end segregation on
Atlanta's traditionally segregated
busses. '
Harold Macmilian, 62 year old
Conservative Party member and
former Foreign Secretary, took
over Friday as the new Prime
Minister of Britain his first
problem was to patch up the
British-American relations.
President Eisenhower, in his
State of the Union message of
the day before, had sounded
new .warnings against inflation
and dictatorships in a compar
atively short (33 minutes) mess
age to Congress.
yBy the -week's end, the north
west .portion, of the country was
'digging out from a blizzard which
had blocked roads and crippled
schools. The snow -was moving
eastward, and North . Carolina
had begun to- feel-its affects , by
Friday.

Peacetime Censorship

WASHINGTON, D. C Wben.
the State DepartmentannounetA
it would severely penalize mem
bers of the, United States press
for reportorial activity behind
the Bamboo Curtain that the
Communist Chinese Government
had at last agreed to permit, de
partment spokesmen offered the
following reasons for this indi
rect exercise of peacetime cen
sorship of the press:
If an American reporter en
tered Communist China pn a
United States passport, that
would violate the restriction of
the document on travel in one
of three countries: Bulgaria,
Albania and Red China.
The President's Geneva pro
gram that urge dthe expansion
;of : East-West exchanges, in
cluding the free flow of' in
formation and access . to its
sources, applied "only to Soviet
; Russia and its European satel
lites. .
The United States cannot
extend such exchanges to na
tions "where our citizens lie
in dungeons"; to do so would
be to vitiate a section of our
foreign policy.
It is all very well for the
press to be willing to take any
risks involved in engaging in
professional activities , in Red
China. But( the Government
cannot. And "if one of these
reporters is locked up," said
one official (as quoted in' this'
space under date' cf Aug.' 6,
'1956),' "his family, if not 'his1'
boss; will bombard the Govern
ment with demands to get him
' out, demands that could not ;
'be met -short of ' measures that
could precipitate a state of
war ctose to war itself."'- 1
Secretary ' Dulles is determ
ined on these points, and 'hp '
criticism will" "budge" 'hirri.
This last statement was veri-'
fied'when; after three represent
atives of the American "press' en
tered Communist China for news-'
gathering purposes, the depart
ment revoked their passports
and asked the Treasury to de
termine if the three had also
violated the Trading with the
Enemy Act of 1917. And mean
while the remainder of the
American press, which abided
by the ban of the State Depart
ment, must continue to depend
for news about Communist Chi
na on dispatches from reporters
of other Western nations who
availed themselves of the oppor
tunity offered by Peiping. '
INTERNATIONAL SEQUELS
The State Department has not
developed its policy of indirect
censorship of the American press
to the direct censorship of revok
ing the passports of publishers
who have circulated these for
eign dispatches and citing them
under the 1917 act. Nor has it
an? what wAscHwzcHy mu' v
TO 30 ON WKB

announced that if dispatches
from the three Americans in
China are published it will ar
raign them and their publishers
under the act. Yet this second
move could be inferrible from
a Government action that re
strains the American press, ful
ly aware of its responsibilities
and willing to assume the haz
ards of news gathering, from
opening to the American people
the flow of information from a
large part of the world that has
been .closed for years.
But though an attempt at di
rect censorship is an inferrible
development of the indirect forr " '
no one in Government has pro
posed it. And if anyone did,
however high his position, the
essential t approval of President
Eisenhower is inconceivable.
There is some reason to believe
he is not enthusiastic about the
steps the dapartment has taken.
And it will be interesting to note
what the President will do if,
in addition to revoking the pass
ports of the three who went into.
Communist China, the depart
ment makes the revocation per- ;
manent and prosecutes under the
act of 1917.
Should the policy be carried to
any of these extremes. Reporter
Worthy of The Baltimore Afro
American and the two other
that are now reporting in Com
munist China should be added to
the rell of those who have made'
historic contributions to the free
dom of reportihg and publication '
in the United States. Thus far
the American press has unwill
ingly conformed ; to the I ' baft.O
though not conceding the con
tention of the State Department
that to challenge it would serve
the international interests of
Communist China against our
own." But the questioning of the -soundness
of this policy in peace
time is mounting, and the view'
it impinges on the guarantees of
the First Amendment is gaining
support.
The situation arose when 15
United States news reporters,
seme of whom had requested
professional access to Commun
ist China, were informed by the
Peiping Government that en- .
trance" visas would be available
in Moscow. No conditions were
imposed the American press
would reject them anyhow. And
this made it possible that for
the first time since the Com
munists took over China the
American people, including the
State Department, could learn
at first hand of conditions in
China from reports in their own
press, written according to th
standards of American journal
ism. This clearly would be a
great advance toward the free
'flow of information the Admini
stration has been advocating.
