Eichmann: The Brand Of Cain
Nazi Colonel Adolph Eichmann,
alleged murderer of six million
Jews in wartime Europe, will prob
ably face trial sometime in the
near future before an Israel court.
He faces the death penalty if con
victed. Some have conjectured that it
would be best to give the man a
short, swift, lynch trial and sen
tence him to death, praying for his
eternal damnation. At first glance,
this treatment seems only fitting
for the man who was responsible
for the maiming, torturing, and
murder of some six million Jews
swift, sure death at the hands of
the race which he and his Nazi co
horts attempted to annihilate.
Eichmann, and men like him
were responsible for the mass
burning of millions of human
beings in furnaces designed for the
purpose, and for the butchering of
millions more . for the "humani
tarian end r of advancing 4 medical
science" living human beings
were dissected or fed bacteria
which produced horrible diseases.
Some were put before firing squads,
and their flesh boiled to make soap.
Cases are recorded in which the
skin of murdered Jews was used
to make lamp shades, wallets, or
other items.
Eichmann, no doubt, is re
sponsible in great part for these
atrocities committed on human
beings. Yet, to take his life after
only ; a short, rigged trial is con
trary to the principles of justice
in which we firmly avow ourselves
to believe. .
To do this, without due consid
eration of every aspect of the case
is to make a mockery of just, un
biased trial by legal means.
Adolph Eichmann has become a
symbol to the people of Israel; to
them he is the personification of all
the pain, the sorrow, the indigna
tion and the suffering that the Jew
has borne under the bigoted tyran
ny of the infamous Third Reich.
Yet, to the courts of law, he must
remain an individual, a man on
trial for his life. Revenge has no
place in a civilization dedicated to
peace.
This Nazi Colonel, it seems sure,
has the blood of six million on his
hands, and the argument that his
death is only tiny payment for
these millions is one that is not
without justification. And yet, to
execute him without trial is no less
a murder than those committed by
Nazi Germany.
The brand of Cain is stamped
indelibly on Eichmann's head. It
should not be transferred to the
long-suffering people of Israel.

Confusin' Season
Chapel Hill weather, with its
uniquely mixed-up phenomena left
many of us in a confused state of
mind yesterday.
It was harder than usual to
climb out of bed; the glaring steel
gray sky and an autumn wind
sounding through the remaining
leaves led us to believe that we
were in for a damp, shivering,
miserable day.
Once ripped from the security
of a warm bed, we shuddered from
the bleak appearance of the out
side world. We wiped away our
sleepiness by the daily routine of
deciding what to wear finally em
barking on that long, bitter walk
to class with an extra-heavy
sweater under our trenchcoats.
Surprisingly enough,' the dead
leaves did not crunch frostily
under out feet as expected; they
squished. Everything had a con
fusing fragrance from the all
night drizzle which had succeeded
in melting away the already estab
lished cold weather.
By noon we were carrying our
coats, mistaking squirrels for
groundhogs, and occasionally tak
ing cover from the sudden showers
of soggy leaves that poured down
all day.

sought.
Last week, the ten-year famine
came to an abrupt end with Nixon's
demise at the hands of Senator
Kennedy. This victory brought joy
to our heart, small though the mar-,
gin was. Finally, there had arisen
a man who could take the measure
of one with whom we could never
find a common ideological meeting
ground.
Now for the first, time has come
the opportunity to praise the de
feated, to in some measure lessen
the degree of past criticism.
In losing, Richard Nixon has
gained in stature, for he was a
gracious loser. He had no alibi, no
taunt for the opposition. In his
meeting with Kennedy on Monday,
he emerged as a big person, one
who realizes that the process of
democracy demands intense parti
san campaigns before an election
and unification following.
Richard Nixon is by no means
finished as a national figure. We
fervently hope he will lead the Re
publican Party in the next four
years in constructive opposition to
the policies of the Kennedy ad
ministration. He is still able to render great
service to the nation, and we hope
he will continue in public life. In
the hour of his defeat, we wish a
man we have never liked all good
fortune in his future endeavors.

Foreign
Policy
Burying The Hatchet
By United Press International
Current unrest in Southeast
Asia illustrates one of the ever
present, natural risks facing
those responsible for U.S. for
eign policy.
South Viet Nam President Ngo
Dinh Diem apparently has wea
thered an army revolt against
his iron-fisted regime. But the
3,000 paratroopers who rebelled
and held the streets of Saigon
temporarily, brought to the sur
face underlying unrest against
his government which has been
ardently supported by the Unit
ed States.
In neighboring Laos, in which
the United States also has a
heavy stake, three factions battle
for national control.
Between them, South Viet Nam
and Laos have received in the
, neighborhood of $2 billion in U.S.
aid. Their armies have been sup
ported, supplied and paid by the
United States.
Should either or both eventual
ly fall to communism, their, loss
not only would be a heavy blow
to the Southeast Asia Treaty Or
ganization, of which the United
States is a founding member, but
would also vastly increase the
dangers to the rest of Southeast
Asia.
A major risk facing U.S.
policy planners is the danger of
damnation by association.
Thus support of an Ngo Dinh
Diem for the sake of a fleeting
stability in the face of militant
world communism, might simply
result later in his sins being
visited upon the United States.

EDWARD NEAL RINER
Election Night: Hodges, Sanford, Jordan
Why didn't South Carolina go
Republican last week as most
polls and columnists predicted?
North Carolina's Sen. B. Ever
ett Jordan knows why South
Carolina voted in the Democratic
column. Jordan explains it this
way:
"A lot of people will say they're
going to take poison, but when
they get that poison to their
mouth, they sure aren't going to
go through with it."
South Carolinians said they'd
prefer to take Republicanism, but
when it came to voting, they just
could not do it.
North Carolina might have
gone Nixon-Lodge on election
day. Polls placed the Tar Heel
state in the "undecided" slot, but
it did decide Democratic right
down the line with the exception
of some Republican state repre
sentatives and Rep. Charles R.
Jonas of the 10th District.
But of the victory yells elec
tion night at the state Democra
tic headquarters in Raleigh, one
rang louder: the victory yell
when it was announced Demo
cratic candidate Terry Sanford
carried Lee County, Republican
candidate Robert Gavin's home
county.
Jordan lists three factors for
the Democratic win in this state:
1. John Kennedy, Democratic
standard-bearer, discussed his
religion thoroughly at the begin
ning of his campaign; 2. former
President Harry S. Truman visit
ed Eastern Carolina to boost the
party loyalty of the traditional
Democratic element; 3. the work
of the state Democratic Party in
striving for solid support from
presidential candidate down to
county commissioner.
Gov. Luther H. Hodges has
special praise for Truman's tour
through Eastern Carolina Ra
leigh, Zebulon, Wilson, Nashville
and Rocky Mount in October.
"He did a fine job of encourag
ing party support. He attracted
attention and showed the people
that the Democrats are interested
in the farmers," Hodges said.
Not only did Truman give em
phasis to the need to vote for
Kennedy, but he helped the cam
paign of state Democrats namely
Sanford, Rep. Harold Cooley
from Nashville and Rep. L. H.
Fountain of Tarboro.
Hodges watched most of the
election returns on a television set
in the ballroom of the Hotel Sir
Walter. Each time an announcer
would report a state going for
Kennedy, Hodges would smile
and slap his knee.
"Ah, that's the way to go."
"I knew they'd come through."
"We'll carry that state." '
"Ah, look at that one, will you,
look at that," Hodges beamed.
Even as Kennedy's win seemed
certain, Hodges would not com
ment on the possibility of his
having a post in the Kennedy administration.
". . . That has never been dis
cussed," he said seriously, but
added quickly, "I said in 1950 I
was dedicating the rest of my life
to public service, and I still plan
to do so."
However, now that Hodges has
been named secretary of com
merce, he might have a few prob
lems. He has bought the Watts
Hill home here in Chapel Hill
and plans to move about the end
of March.
"I'll just be a vagabond until
then," he said, looking to Mrs.
Hodges. Vagabond probably
means house-hunting in Wash
ington, D. C, but again he would
not talk about his continuation
of public life.
Now that the secret is out,
Chapel Hillians realize they will
not be seeing as much of Mr. and
Mrs. Hodges as previously ex
pected. However, Hodges will be
in Chapel Hill at different times
and will consider doing some
guest lecturing on campus, if he
is asked "nothing regular
though."
With the Hodges' family mov
ing out of the governor's mansion
BILL MORRISON
in Raleigh in January, the San
fords will be moving in. Mrs.
Sanford, Margaret Rose, doesn't
know when . the official moving
day will be although the" inaugu
ration will be Jan. 5.
"Really, I haven't even asked
about moving. I don't know what
to expect. I imagine the house is
fully furnished like the White
House, and I don't know if I'll
move any furniture or not," she
said.
Mrs. Sanford was with her
husband most of the time elec
tion night. While he was being
interviewed on television, she
chatted with friends in the hotel
ballroom; however, when county
election returns were announced,
she stopped talking and hushed
those around her. Although her
husband was ahead in each of the
tabulations, she showed no par
ticular emotion and resumed
talking.
The announcer of the county
election returns was Phil Carl
ton, a UNC law student. Carlton
began work with the Sanford
forces before the primary, and
he began work with the state
Democratic Party after Sanford's
nomination. After classes began,
Carlton worked about two days
a week as coordinator of cam
paign materials he ordered
party buttons, bumper stickers
and posters.
Election night Carlton's main
job was announcing the tabula
tion on the public address sys
tem. He gave reports each time
the TV cameras in the ballroom
were televising.
"We did this so the viewers
would see some excitement at
headquarters. I'd read the results
and everybody would shout and
clap," he said. And shouting and
clapping were going on.
In Kennedy's headquarters in
Hyannis Port, Mass., the noise
was to a minimum. As returns
came in there were bursts com
ments, but most of the headquar
ters personnel was too busy to
get excited. Probably the loudest
buzz of conversation came when
somebody announced, "Califor
nia's coming through."
Telephone calls were coming
from all over the United States.
Headquarters was a busy place.
Are Yon
Insane?
Are you a special agent of God?
Do you believe in the Devil and
Hell?
Was your father a good man?
Do you feel that no one under
stands you?
Do you often hear or sec thine;?,
that nobody else hears or sees?
Do you often feel a strange
lightness at the crown of your
head?
Is your sex life satisfactory?
These and about 555 similar
questions are painfully familiar
to you if you have ever been con
fronted with the Minnesota Mul
tiphasic Personality Test. This
test is required of some students,
including those in certain educa
tion courses, and seems express
ly designed so that those who do
not go completely insane while
taking the test can be checked
off as paragons of stability. It is
not enough that the designers of
this nasty little inquisition de
mand that you answer such ques
tions; they further present you
with the dilemma of answering
them yes or no.
It would be nice of these peo
ple to leave a blank for comment,
so that in answer to the "Nobody
understands me" statement you
could add "Thank Heaven!" to
the "true" rather than be forced
into sounding like the proverbial
husband-on-the-make. And the
space after the "lightness in the
head" question might read ''Yes,
after an afternoon at the Rat"
rather than a perjured "no" or a
"yes" which causes them to in
form you later that you showed
"hypochrondiac tendencies". And
then there is the one which reads
"I know who causes most of my
trouble." If you were allowed to
comment "me", the "yes" you put
would not sound so paranoid.
Those of us who have suffered
through this test realize that such
a space for comment would be
impractical, and we don't ask that
it be added. But we do suggest
an innovation which would allow
us to indicate more precisely and
honestly our reactions to many of
the questions. We suggest that be
side the little blank which indi
cates "true" and the little blank
which indicates "false" the ques
tioners add a third blank to indi
cate "None of your stinkin' busi
ness, Sirs."
REFLECTIONS
It is somehow a little strange
to walk across campus at mid
night and stare through the
blackness to Franklin Street
nothing is open. The price of a
king's ransom won't buy even a
cup of coffee. Chapel Hill rolls
up its street at such an ungodly
hour.
Most people aren't out of bed
before 6 p.m. or if they are,
they shouldn't be.
Last night the only shop open
was Kcmp'c. He was pacing up
and down shouting "Get 'em." lie
just got up thought it was morning.
Maidenform: Sales Are Bustin All Records
If you happen to hear a remark
like "I dreamed I won the elec
tion in my Maidenform bra,"
please don't look at the Messieurs
Kennedy and Nixon and say, "I
knew it!" What you hear is sim
ply another plug in that unpoliti
cal campaign for form and uplift.
Form and uplift may not direct
ly affect the males of the world,
but it has special meaning for
the ladies. Ida Rosenthal, founder
and chairman of Maidenform, Inc.,
tells us that during World War IL
"women workers who wore an
uplift were less ; : fatigued than
others."
We learn from a recent full
page spread in Time magazine,
that Ida began worrying about
form and uplift in 1922 when she
opened a dress shop in New York
City. She realized that something
was usually lacking when women
customers were in her dresses.
(We might add, to keep the record
straight, that women customers
were usually in her dresses.)
The trouble was style,,. The
women of that era were being
flattered by the "boyish look."
Well, Ida had other ideas, which
soon led her into the realm of
the great emancipators. In fact,
her theme song might have been
"June Is Busting Out All Over,"
which is fitting enough if one
knows where to put the accent.
Like any success story, Ida's
had its ups and downs with an
average of 34-B in between. Now,
her booming empire is hardly
threatened by the fact that "The
U. S. woman's bosom is getting
smaller." New vistas loom ahead
and Ida, a true advocate of ex
pansion, can really see a cotton
lining. She plans to aid the more
underdeveloped countries like
England where, she frankly says,
"the British woman needs a lit
tle help."
Eventually, Ida hopes to push
out to Russia. Come to think of
it, she might thaw the cold war.
Who can tell what effect a Maid
enform would have on "Mammy"
Khrushchev, as she prances down
those long Kremlin halls not to
mention the effect on her hus
band. Sales are busting all Maiden
form records, we're told, mainly
because of the "I dreamed" ad
vertisements. You know the type:
"I dreamed I was lacking, until
Maidenform gave me the back
ing." . Ida says, "let them go on
dreaming . . . We have our eyes
open." And thousands of panting
and admiring males do too.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Reader Backs Bowles For Cabinet
To ihe Editor:
Before I enter into my point of
disagreement with Editor Yard
ley, let me say a word about those
who would heap scorn upon his
name and unjustly crucify him. "
Many of the recent antagonistic
letters to the editor have shown
more personal vindictiveness than
honest disagreement. These let
ters accuse Mr. Yardley 'of being
wildly partisan toward politics
and of having an overly exalt
ed opinion of himself; of purpose
ly slanting the presidential cam
paign news and of taking a blind,
rabid stand on all issues.
Some of these letter-writers ap
pear to have just- read the first
two paragraphs of the editor's
story and then scribbled off a
heated retort, correcting the edi
tor's nonexistent mistake.
Writers of these letters would
do well to confine themselves to
commenting on what the editor
said, not what they read into his
words.
I disagree with the statement
in a November 12 editorial, con
cerning President - Elect Ken
nedy's future Secretary of State,
that Chester Bowles "does not
seem to us to have the interna
tional reputation" that William
Fulbright and Adlai Stevenson
have, and that he does not "seem
possessed of the same qualities of
leadership that, they so fully pos
sess." It is admitted that Stevenson
has an international reputation
outclassing either of the other
two "contenders." But, politically
speaking, Stevenson has little
chance to get that position.
Bowles was U.S. Ambassador to
India from 1951-53; he has writ
ten extensively about foreign af
fairs; and he has been a member
of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee since his election to
the House in 1958.
Bowles was Kennedy's chief
advisor on foreign affairs in the
recent campaign. The two men's
ideas coincide much more often
than would those of Kennedy and
Stevenson or Kennedy and Ful
bright. Sen. Fullbright's name may be
a "byword on college campuses"
but it is not as well known in the
countries of Asia and Africa as
is that of Bowles.
Chester Bowles would make an
excellent Secretary of State; in
my opinion, he is a better man
for that post than Sen. Fulbright.
