ln Wako Of Summit Collapse
Various Peace Groups Formed
By LINDA BISER
The Ike-Nikita "rail-out" at the
ummit cor.fcrcncc explosion has
caused much local speculation on
ho to prevent future "fall-outs"
between the U. S. and Russia.
Like the weather, many people
are talking about peace but few do
anything about it. At present, most
Chapel Hill observers fret over the
colder coid war with its threaten
ing radioactive clouds that do not
bung peace.
A flurry of active peace prop
onents, however, have formed
their pressure areas here. Among
the more active peacetime groups
are ROTC studeivu. Their war
fare training, designed to bring
peace by conquest will be utilized
only at the expense cl the efforts
of two other local organizations.
The iliirh School World Peace
Study and Speaking Program does
n t advocate a particular plan for
pejce but sponsors a high school
.-ptaking contest on various sub
jects pertinent to peace. The key
to world peace is in the form of a
medal inscribed viith a dove bear
in? an olive branch, is awarded to
'nU-.st winners'.
Director of the program is E. II.

A group with no name but plenty

Correction!
Richard Robinson, Democrat
of Greensboro, sent the follow
ing letter to the Editor of The
Daily Tar Heel, concerning a
story printed in Thursday's pa
per in which it was reported
that Robinson will head the YRC
next year:
Dear. John,
In the state of North Carolina
it seems appropriate to frame
this letter in the form of a re
port from the House Un-American
Activities Committee: I am
not, nor have I ever been, a
member of the Republican Par
ty, much less the president of
the Young Republicans' Club, a
dubious distinction to say the
least.
I am a registered Democrat,
and I believe in Jefferson, Jack
son, and Franklin Delano Roose
velt. I would very much appreciate
it if you would print a correc
tion of today's (May 19) article
in the Tar Heel which names
me as president of this organi
zation which, for all I know, is
on the Attorney-General's list of
subversive organizations.
Many thanks for anything you
. can do to straighten out this
mess.
Sincerely,
Dick Robinson
Democrat
The Editor addressed the fol
fowing remarks to Mr. Robin
son: Dear Dick,
I understand the mental an
guish through which you must
be travelling presently, and
sympathize with you completely.
I also am sure that you, as
former Attorney-General, know
what is subversive around this
campus and what is not.
As a believer in Jackson and
Roosevelt and Truman, I extend
to you my warmest sympathies
at this hour of trial.
Sincerely,

World News In Brief
Air Force Chief Says U.S.
Should Strengthen Defenses
WASHINGTON, iff) The Chief of the U. S. Air Force said today
irrational behavior displayed at the Paris Summit Conference might
make it wise to strengthen this nation's defenses.
"I have seen indications recently," Gen. Thomas D. White told a
Senate Appropriations Subcommittee, "that irrationality could enter
into a certain nation's decision to launch an attack."
White's comment came in reply to questions about Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev and the breakup of the Paris Summit Conference.
sens. Leverett Saltonstall (R-Mass)
asked if the Paris developments required a change in U. S. defense
plans and appropriations.
White said that earlier this year he had been convinced U. S.
defenses were so strong that "no rational decision could be made to
attack us."
Any attacking nation would face destruction from this country's
deterrent powers, he said. Then he added:
"What would be a deterrent to a rational point of view might not
be a deterrent to an irrational point of view."
U.N. To Meet On Spy Plane Charges
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., UP) The U.N. Security Council meets
at 3 p.m. (EST) Monday on the Soviet charges of American U2 plane
spying. It appeared tonight that it might develop into a wrangle be
tween the East and West foreign ministers.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko will fly here to
morrow from the wrecked Paris Summit Conference. British sources
said they expect Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd will represent Bri
tain in the U2 debates. The French said that if Lloyd comes here,
Foreign Minister Maurice Couve De Murville may also be on hand.
Party Unity May Be Cracking
WASHINGTON, Iff) The Unity Front showed cracks Thursday
as Senate Democrats and Republicans thrust and counterthrust over
whether Vice President Richard M. Nixon sought political advantage
from the summit debacle.
At storm center was Nixon's statement in Buffalo, N. Y., yester
day that if the Democrats "believe we should have allowed a gap
m our intelligence, let them investigate it. If they believe the Presi
dent should have apologized to Mr. Khrushchev (for the spy plane
flight), let them investigate."
Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont), denying for the Democrats on both
counts, retorted: "It appears to me Nixon is creating straw men for
the purpose of knocking them down."
Mansfield's remarks came on top of a protest by Sen. Albert
iGore (D-Tenn) that "While Democrats in the Senate are pleading
for unity, Mr. Nixon is undertakirg to conver the tragedy in Paris
to his political expediency . ,

Campus Code Wasn't
Violated, Says Defense
By WAYNE KING and MARY STEWART BAKER
The Student Council last night voted to place an offi
cial reprimand on the records of the three individuals charg
ed with "raising a hand-made flag on campus without au
thorization." A silent body of six men listened to testimony from five
individuals, including two faculty members, in an emotion
ally charged trial which lasted three
hours and culminated in the ver
dict of "official reprimand."
Charged and found guilty were
George LaMonte, Ray Russell and
Sam Hollingsworth.
Character witnesses were explicit
in their support of the integrity, and
sincerity of the three students. John
"Pepper" Tice, of the philosophy
department said of the three, "Of
all students I've ever taught, these
three have turned out to be most
intellectually capable and respon-
sive
"It is unique that the same
three persons whom I would pick
as the most responsive students
turn out to be the same ones that
I am speaking in defense of at a
Council trial.
"One thing that anyone who
knows the three could never say
about them is that they lack integ
rity, Tise added.
He went on to state "Most stu-

Annual Student Art
Show Will Open Friday
An exhibition of student art will!
open on Friday at Ackland Art Gal
lery. Undergraduate and graduate stu
dent work will be presented in the
North and Main Galleries in a show
entitled "The 24th Annual Student
Exhibition."
Works in drawing, composition,
various media of painting and de
sign (including oils), sculpture
'plaster, cast -stone, metal, and
ceramics, arts and crafts, layout
and lettering, and advertising art
will be included.
The students whose work is to
be shown are presently taking
courses under Robert Howard, Ken
neth Ness, and George Kachergis
of the Art Department.
According to Ness, the exhibit
will be open until the first week in
August.
dents are afraid of ideas. I think
this (the flag-raising) is an unfor
tunate expression of a good idea."
Davis Young, former editor of the
DTH, spoke as a character witness
for LaMonte, stating that he felt
the "issue is a lot bigger than a
greased flag-pole.
'I question whether they are be
ing tried on an idea, or an act.
If it is the act that is on trial,
vhen let them pay the cost of re
moving the flag and the grease.
If you are trying the idea behind
it, then be sure you have the right
to judge."
Attorney for the defense. Ken
Friedman, based his defense on his
belief that the act did not constitute
a violation of the Campus Code.
Friedman said in response to the
verdict," We still don't feel lhat
these boys committed any violation
of the Code."
He added, "It's a shame that th
Council virtually committed them
selves before they were aware of
who had raised the flag, and of the
underlying motives behind it. The
Council felt that they had to let the
campus know that this type as thing
would not be tolerated as a gen
eral rule. They failed to consider
ihe more serious implications or
the case.
It seems incongruous to us that
an expression of vital very valid
student expression shoufd be han
dled in such a picayune fashi.n,
he added.
A faculty member spoke in de
fense of the three by quoting from
.he Dill's editorial page and from
comments made regarding the Car
olina Forum talks on "Silence."
He said, "We, the faculty, the
Forum speakers and others, are all
speaking on the same Issue.
"Considerable encouragement is
given to students to speak out. I
think such an act as this, so long
as it destroys no property, is a
wholesome kind of expression," he
said.
As to the symbols on the flag,
he said, "The symbols were dyn
amic, kaded with emotion. I think
th s was a wholesome kind of
expression."
The Council justified its decision
by explaining that the raising of
any flag shall constitute a violation
of the Code.
The Council stated that it was not
concerned with expression but with
the manner of expression, and did
not question the sincerity of the
three.
"No society can exist without opin
ion, we ask that students to use
greater discretion in voicing that
expression," a council member said.
