"We need to know what the Chinese Communist are doing because some day they may be doing it to us, said Daniels, himself a former for eign correspondent for the Times. Daniel disagreed with the no tion that the press should re frain from printing news about Khrushchev's visit. "Nowadays, when we are engaged in a des perate competition with world Communism, it is sometimes suggested that newspapers should voluntarily restrict them selves," said Daniel. To the con trary, the press "must tell the people what they need to know, not what they would like to hear," he said. Turned Backs "The Russians," added Dan iel, "would not have us so much on the defensive today if we had not, journalistically speak ing, turned our backs on them for a whole generation and ig nored what they were achieving in education, industry and science." It is the responsibility of the reporter and editor, said Daniel, to publish the news even though in conflict with the opinions and policies of the U.S. Government "Until the time we are actually at war or on the verge of war, it is not only permissible but it is our duty as journalists and citizens to be constantly ques tioning our leaders and our " policy." American newspapers should Grout Seeks Members The Chapel Hill Branch of the American Association of Uni versity Women is looking for new members. Graduate students and student wives who are college gradu ates are invited to consider membership in the organization which numbers 1,455 local branches in all 50 states. The program of the A.A.U.W. is designed "to enable college women to continue their own intellectual growth, to further the advancement of women and to discharge the special re sponsibilities of society to those who have enjoyed the advan tages of higher education." Eligibility Eligibility is based upon graduation from one of the 430 colleges and universities on the Association's approved list. Ap proval is based upon academic standards, a balanced emphasis on liberal arts requirements for degrees, and equality of oppor tunity for women as students, professors and trustees. Eight N. C. institutions, including Carolina and W.C. are on the list along with six S. C. colleges. The next meeting is a Dutch treat dinner at 6:30 p.m. Wed nesday, Oct. 26. Women wish ing to attend are urged to call the president, Dr. Margaret Swanton, at 9-8738 by Monday night, Oct. 24, at the latest. Patterns of Progress The program, "Patterns of Progress," is of special interest to prospective and new mem bers who would like to learn more about the AA.U.W.'s ac tivities in Chapel Hill. Complete (UPI) aniel have correspondents on the Chi nese mainland. It was. a mistake on the part of the American press when the chance to send correspondents to China in 1956 at the invitation of the Red Chinese government was de clined because, said Daniel, "we did not want to embarrass our government." Were Wrong "I think we were wrong," said Daniel. "I think we over looked our primary loyalty, which is to the American pub lic, to give the public the infor mation it needs to make intel ligent decisions on our national policy with regard to China. Now the Chinese are not pre pared to admit our corres pondents except on terms that Washington is unwilling to meet." -v ' . "Without going into the diplo matic intricacies of this ques tion, let me say only that any effort by journalism or govern ment to break this impasse and see that the American people are informed about China would be a contribution to our national security. Here is the most populous country on earth, and we have not a single diplo matic or journalistic represen tative there to tell us what is going on," said Daniel. Journalism Is Calling Speaking on the training of newspapermen, Daniel said that journalism is not a trade or pro fessionbut "a calling." "The men who embrace journalism as a career should be no less dedicated than the parson or the doctor. Like them, he should have his own standards stand ards that are not subject to change by the shifting winds of public taste or political expe diency." "The Fourth Estate" must create and preserve an atmos phere in which all noble causes may flourish, he said.

Red World News in Brief Castro Expected To Establish j Relations With East Germany; ' WASHINGTON Fidel Castro is expected to establish : diplomatic relations soon with East Germany, further con-i solidating Cuba's ties with the Communist bloc, diplomatic sources said Friday. The report coincided with a Navy announcement that it had dispatched additional Marines to the Guantartamo naval base in Cuba, a target of increasingly bitter attacks by the Cuban premier. The forecast of an imminent formal diplomatic tie be tween Cuba and East German was the latest in a series of swift developments underscoring the steady decline in U. S. Cuban relations. . Diplomatic sources said Castro probably will use the recently-announced U. S. economic boycott against Cuba as an excuse for establishing formal diplomatic ties with East Germany. N Formal negotiations looking toward recognition have been underway for some time, the sources said, and probably will be continued when Maj. Ernesto CHE Guevara, Cuba's eco nomic chief, visits Russia and Eastern Europe later this month. Britain Launches Submarine LONDON (UPI) Britain Friday launched its first nuclear powered submarine, the 3,500-ton dreadnaught, on Trafalgar Day, the anniversary of one of its great decisive naval battles. The propulsion machinery for the submarine was provided by the United States under a 1958 agreement that enabled Britain to launch its first atomic submarine only 16 months after the keel was laid. The Dreadnaught, which not equipped to launch Polaris missiles but British defense chiefs were reported anxious to add these killers to their strike force.

Getting out of the country wasn't easy, but her father, a life-long journalist, managed to get his family to Singapore, where they remain ed for six years before coming to America. But if you ask her what she thinks of America as an out sider you won't get an answer. Why? Is American "Because I consider myself very American," she'll answer, with a very American twinkle in her eyes. So without pursuing that angle any further, you know that she loves it, as an insider. Miss Chang's father, Mr. K. S. Chang, was editor of the China Press, an English language newspaper in Shanghai, at the time the Communist took over.

"I again strongly urge you to join me in discussing the issues of this election in a fifth debate to be held shortly before the election," Kennedy said in a telegram to Nixon. Kennedy said "only in this way will the American people be able to evaluate the argu ments and issues which are being raised in ' the closing days of the campaign."

College Profs Are Blamed For Literary Lack "The besetting sin of all lit erature programs for thinking people at whatever level (is) the widespread practice in both colleges and high schools of teaching about literature rather than .teaching literature," said George M. Harper, professor in the Department of English. Professor Harper spoke at the regional meeting of the North Carolina and Virginia College English Association held at the University of Richmond, in Richmond, Va., this weekend. Speaking on "What the Colleges Expect in the High School Eng lish programs," Professor Harp er showed, by contrast, what the colleges did not want to see in a recent high school graduate. 'Professor Harper's main point was that college professors and instructors did not want to find students in their classes who had studied literature through a "social h i s t o ry approach," through a purely biographical approach, or through a "goodies approach that is, to pick out the rhetorical passages for class reading and memorization" ; Professor Harper blamed the departments of English which trained today's high school and elementary teacher for the kind of students that are being found in literature classes. 1 r :okaiwil ill Graham Memorial -fr it Demo Nominee Is Winner By Nos A Daily Tar Heel poll of stu dent political preferences taken during the last week revealed that a slim majority of Carolina students support John F. Ken nedy for the Presidency. The poll, taken by. members of St. Anthony Hall for the Daily. Tar Heel, was of the "dragnet" variety rather than the "scientific sampling" made popular by George Gallup. ' In this type of poll the object is to get as many answers as possible, rather than to attempt to typify areas by arbitrarily chosen samplings. 3335 students were included in the poll, which was taken in al most every living unit on the campus, as well as Victory Vil lage. Of these, 1647 favored Ken nedy and 1433 chose Nixon, with 255 preferring to remain unde cided. Figuring on a percentage basis, Kennedy received 49.4 per cent of the vote and Nixon 42.1 per cent, with the remain ing 8.5 per cent undecided. It the current practice of splitting the undecided factor were carried out, it would give Kennedy 53.65 per cent and Nixon 46.35. Objections have been raised to this policy, how ever, since it is felt that this is attempting to make up people's minds for them. In order to get a possible in dication of how North Carolina may vote this November, the School Plans Special Series Dr. Roger M. Herriott of Johns Hopkins University will speak here Saturday in one of four programs to be sponsored by the UNC School of Medicine in the next month. Also on Saturday, parents of medical students from Region Four counties will meet in Charlotte. Next Lecturer A Duke professor of surgery is to be the next lecturer for the UNC School of Medicine postgraduate medical courses now underway in Asheville and Morganton. He will speak Oc tober 25 and 26. The School's annual sym posium will be held at Memo rial Hospital November 17 and 18. Dr. Herriott is the third speaker in the current Medical Science Lecture Series. The theme of the series is "The Na ture of Viruses." The professor will speak in the Clinic Audi torium at 11 a.m. The public is invited. Parents Meeting Dr. W. Reece Berryhill, dean of the School of Medicine, will speak to the Region Four Par ents Club meeting. The pur pose of this group is to keep parents informed about the School's total program. Dr. Ivan W. Brown Jr. of Duke will give two lectures in Asheville and. two in Morgan- on as part of the UNC-spon- sored postgraduate courses. The School of-Medicine Sym posium will include two scien tific sessions, a social hour, and dinner for physicians and their wives. Guest physicians and profes sors from Brooke General Hos pital of Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Duke University, and Bowman Gray School of Medi cine will take part in the sym posium.

China votes of North Carolina resi dents were separated from the total. Of the 2290 votes cast by North Carolinians, 1195 went to Kennedy, 958 to Nixon and 137 undecided. On a percentage basis this gives Kennedy 51.7 per cent and Nixon 41.8 per cent of the North Carolina vote. Again, splitting the undecided factor would give Kennedy 54.95 per cent and Nixon 45.05 per cent. The closeness of the vote as whole was also evident in specific living areas of the cam pus. In some of the larger dor mitories the margin was as small as one vote. There was no evidence of preference for a single candi date in any overall area such as dormitories or fraternities. A few samplings will bear the above points out: Nixon won the combined totals of Ruffin and Mangum dormitories by a total of four votes; Kennedy won Spencer by 34 votes; Nixon won Cobb by 23 votes; Nixon won Graham and Stacy by one vote; Kennedy won Delta Upsilon by six votes. Kennedy won Whitehead by one vote; Nixon won Alpha Del ta Pi by seven votes; Nixon won Smith by one vote; Kennedy won Delta Delta Delta by three votes; Nixon won Kappa Delta by six votes; Kennedy won Kap pa Alpha by three votes; Nixon won Sigma Alpha Epsilon by five votes. Kennedy's biggest majority came in Victory Village, where he won by 58 votes. Nixon's big gest was in Cobb.
