Curtis Gams Hanging on the walls of the streets of the cities of Hungary on October 23, 1957. the first an niversary of the unsuccessful Hun garian Revolt, were pictures of Russian soldiers smiling. Un derneath these pictures was the caption. "True Friend." Compared to the record of the U. S. with respect to friendship towards the Hungarian people, the appellation of the Russian .soldiers beneath their pictures represents a truism. One of the primary assets of any friendship are the qualities of sincerity and candor. The Rus sian soldier says sincerely and with complete frankness that if the Hungarian citien thinks and acts contrary to the Moscow line, he will suffer hardship and even perhaps death, but if the Hun garian thinks and acts consistent ly with the Moscow line. the soldier will be his protector. The soldier can afford to be this frank, for his being in Hungary is nothing more than the guarantee that all Moscow dicta are followed. However, even this much candor is lacking in the U. S. State De partment. It was not too many moons before the Hungarian Re volt than John Foster Dulles bray ed about the "new" American policy of "massive retaliation" for all the enslaved peoples of the world and preservation or freedom for all those not under bondage . These were, it proved, no more than words. There is perhaps no justification lor war at all. but the U. S. has fought in wars with less justifica tion than the Hungarian Revolt gave it. If the Dulles policy was to be followed, then the U. S. had no alternative but to fight with the Hungarian against the Rus sians .or at the very least to sup ply them with arms and equip ment. This would have been up lioldiim freedom 111 the world. It would also have been calling Russia's bluff, and conceivably could have led to war. Yet, if the U. S. had been afraid of war, then John Foster Dulles should never have made his policy pro nouncement. He would then have had nothing to go back on and ti r'.amately rescind a year later. To make things much worse. R-p. V. dter. co-author of that un fair, unequal law thai goes by the n; ne of ;h Mcl'anan-Walter I- nigrr.lion Act. stepped on the s'-etv and proceeded to try to limit Hungarian refugee access to !' V. S. Of the over 1(10. 000 Hun-g-tri.in refugees. Mr. Walter was w hing ;o let the I'. S. take 3.0(H). This, gave to the world a sparkling picture ol the U. S . as a protector of those who have escaped en sl.'iv eaietit. Uhima'ely the V. S took sev eral times that many refugees, but the initial limitation has re mained in the minds of Fairopoans ever since and has maligned U. S foreign policy, at least in part. Moreover, it showed to the peo ple of the world that the U. S. was not. willing to lift a little finger unless the cause stood to benefit the U. S. in the long run. What the U. S. overlooked was the ill-will that will hurt the U. S. in the long run. L'lL ABNER "Yoo-Hoo, Everybody $ -3' OF WANTON WAR: Dutch Dealt Dike Demonstration . . Walt Thomas This lean young man sat across the table from me with his long slender Dutch hands clasped in a very sincere, almost prayer-like manner. As we sat there in the little foggy windowed restaurant, we spoke of the girls he had introduced me to that day. When the waitress came he had unclasped his hands for a moment and smiled at her with his ex tremely bad and crooked teeth. He was very ugly in a gaunt and displaced way. But people, especially the girls we saw on the streets smiled back at him, maybe they felt that he needed their smiles. lie talked then aboul how he had gotten his job with the Canadian electric company. While he drank his tea I watched him replace his cup and reclasp his hands, wriggling his long sprung fingers into place between the knuck les. He was very tall and slow, his clothes ahvavs were too short nd his ties were too Nvide for my -..- Fiuallv. another glowing tribute to American democracy was fram- 1 ed vvheii 20 per cent of these refugees, after coming to the U. S. left to return to enslavement in Hungary. They left because they could not find jobs in the U. S. which were suitable to their talent, because they could not join labor unions and thus were persona non grata in many jobs, because they were given no aid in overcoming the language barrier and were out casts, because they were given no aid in getting adjusted to a way of life -very foreign to their own, and because they were frank ly unhappy. This may suggest to the U. S. many revisions in its immigra tion policy, but what it suggests to the rest of the world is that the U. S. is not the best place to live, as it advertises. It also suggests that the U. S.. although it has many of the freedoms these Hungarians fought lor. is lacking certain basic es sentials for living and certain basic understandings among .. peo ple that would make life in the U S. bearable for these Hungari ans. The whole picture on the U. S. side of the ledger is drab enough so that all the satellite countries will not for a long time in the fu ture attempt, to question Russian authority in any major way. It stands as a distinct defeat for America in the eyes of those who need America's help most -the en slaved The brutality and carnage of the Hungarian rev tilt, in which thou sands of Hungarians lost their lives fighting to breath t he air of freedom, will be long renvembered as one of the most horrible episodes in the twentieth Century. The part of the U. S. will be remembered less long, at least the U. S. hopes. The part of the U. S.. however, was at best obscene. READERS' REPOSITORY: Reader Lampoons Daily Tar Heel Ed EDITOR: At times, one wonders whether the Carolina system of voting is a valid indication of which is the better man for particular office. Consider: last spring, popular Neil Bass was pitted against unknown Charles Sloan for the editorship of the Daily Tar Heel. A quick look at the masthead shows Bass won. We do not say which man was the better; we merely say Bass won. Since that time, editor Bass has turned out some of the most ridiculous edi torials, in our opinion, in the his tory of the Daily Tar Heel. Ridi culous, yes. but they have gone unridiculed. What could hav e hap pened to all the letters which have been sent to the readers' column, which has been renamed by the editor, is anybody's guess. Were they, in t ho editor's belief, too personal'?" Was there not room? Were they so poorly writ ten that they would have looked bad on the edit page? The editor has angered many by his simple tactics of avoid ing criticism in "his" paper. The policy of this paper has long been to print all letters, with an ap propriate headline, with no cut ting, except when, in the editor's belief, a letter is libelous, slan derous, or in poor taste. And poor taste does not mean "anything with which the editor disagrees." The editor has fallen into the habit of putting his own feelings into the headlines over letters to the editor, and tacking negative statement under the column. Pre vious editors have kept their thoughts in the left hand side of the edit page, and have given the reader a chance to speak his mind. R.ass is apparently unwilling to let a reader have the last, or best. word. We refer specifically to last Saturday's Daily Tar Heel in which a letter by one John Yard Icy in which he retorted to a let ter by Grayson Mills. Yardley's column was titled, "Yardlcy Yo dels and Gripes." Is this the head Y'arclley would have wanted? Un der the letter was printed the following: It is obvious that Yodel ing Yardlcy likes nothing or no body. Vice versa from the edi torial office. Did Yardlcy want that added to his views? The editor seems to forget that he was elected, that the Daily Tar Heel is not his pa per, and that there are certain ethics and standard practices which lie should be following. One of the editor's campaign promises was that of "no Afg hanistanism." no world news. Friend, glance over thy last few issues of the paper for a starter, and coent the inches of world news, or outside news Stagger ingi We do not know, but it would be, our guess that news of cam pus activities could have filled some of that space. UAIXY Kl'UALT (The phrase "sour grapes" most aptly describes Kuralt. who last spring served as cam paign manager for defeated Daily Tar Heel editorship can didate Charlie Sloan. As for not printing letters even occasion ally in poor taste the printing of Kuralt's bitter and trite personal attack disproves this accusation.

He t Id me of how his father had owned an inn in a small Dutch village. He spoke of two older brothers Loth killed in action, and of his nine-year-old sister who had been afraid of the planes. He told me of his mother and how she had truly scrubbed the sidewalks in front -of the inn. He told me of the happy times he had known in the village, then of the despondent times when the old men had gathered in the Inn and. smoking, had talked in low tones ol how the war was going. Clasping his hands tighter he told me of hear ing the radio reports of how the Nazi units were drawing closer ta his homeland. Then how one af ternoon when he was 13 his father had summoned 1 I WW' v :-4 ml 2 v V. X JK , , t V- Si g X3 lt) 7 . 'V-..-ftv 17 .-.US' r. I t . i I m '144 VM i ; -. 5 - . . .

His father poinu i out t-). them a cloud of dust and even as they warn ed, a small column of German motorcycle tro -; droned across, the Hat countryside and into tie village. The Germans had taken over everything. Tht . had shot some defiant people and had set up thta' headquarters in the inn. The Germans st yed the: -almost three weeks and eventually shot his father when the radio was discovered in the chimney. When the order came by Nvord of mouth to the village of the date that the dikes were to be opened the old men of the village had renewed their lives by taking those of the young German advance guard unit. He had spaken of how the sea came in to ruin everything after the women and childrc.i had been boated away at night. He had never seen his mother or little sister again. He smiled onV ruefully as he assured me that the sea had stopped the Germans. Later on the street outside the little restaurant he introduced me to a pretty blond girl with whom he orten played chess. He laughed an awful lot with us there on the street. And I decided he wvulJ never have to tell me anything else about the war. I wouldn't ask. because I liked to see him laugh a great deal.
