The Sons Of God At Work Again
ALBANY (UPI) The Appellate
Court Friday upheld the state edu
cation department's recommenda
tion that the phrase "under God"
be included when school children
give the Pledge of Allegiance,. v v
The phrase had been challenged
as unconstitutional oy two New
York City area men who said i
required non-believers to take a
pledge in something they did not
believe.
Today America, or a good per
centage of her citizenry, goes to
church. Before the altars of many
denominations these : citizens bow
low to worship their God. With
reverence and obedience they fol
low the prescribed forms of their
churches.
This is, indeed, a godly nation.
Believing firmly that the Lord
chose America as the Land of the
Free and Favored, we rest secure
in our churches and in our homes,
confident in the knowledge that the
Heavenly Hand will guide us on
ward. ;
There are, however, those in our
blessed land who do not place their
trust in the Lord, who recognize
neither the 23rd Psalm or the
Lord's Prayer as anything more
than documents of the Christian
folklore, ...-...,;.. ,-T
Two of these people dared to
challenge the right of the State of
New York's education department
to include the phrase "under .God"
in the 'Pledge of Allegiance given
daily by school-children. v .
The ; populace,, rushed to, their
persecution How could any man
question the fact that this nation
is, indeed, "under God"? And how
could any. man fail to believe the
Christian religion?
Yet these men challenged the in
clusion of the phrase "under God,"
surely a slap in the face of Chris
tianity. But they also challenged a
good deal more: they challenged
the long-standing American sup
position that.this is a Christian -land
and that all its doings are conduct
ed under the aegis of the Lord.
It was a brave challenge, t but it
has been made before,. Only re
cently a group of Jews challenged
the teaching of the Bible in Florida
schools. Their argument was the
same: must this religion be forced
on all mankind?
Today, our Christian day of wor
ship and reverence, might well be
spent; in contemplating .the role, of
Christianity and Christians in the
nation and the world. ,
We have come a long; way since
Calvary, yet there are- those who
think we have lost much in transit.
For all practical purposes.. Chris
tianity is the world's dominating
religion, and the members of its
churches number in the millions.
, . Yet, perhaps, we have lost more
than a touch of the humility, that
gave us our greatness. We force
ourselves on the peoples . ? of the
world as the only true and lively
speakers of the word, as the chosen
few, as those whose example is
best followed.
: Surely the Pledge of Allegiance
to the flag of the United States is
no place to let the majority sup
press the minority. We are a na
tion which prides .itself on major
ity .rule with tolerance for the
minority;, is it tolerance to make
the children of the minority mouth
phrases in which they and their
parents do not believe?
Or do we think we are .being
tolerant merely by not forcing the
minority to join the majority in the
first place?

has arisen from the flpw of short
term capital funds to Europe, par
ticularly to London, where higher
interest rates have been available
than here. Now every close student
of .the financial markets recognizes
that a question mark, must, be at
tached to the future of London in
terest rates.
The growing signs of weakness
in , the British economy; particu
larly , but not exclusively in its
automobile industry, have in
creased the likelihood of moves
being taken soon to lower the in
terest rate so as to supply needed
stimulus, for the, British economy.
If that Should happen then at least
some of the "hot money" that has
run to London would be flowing
out again.
.1 Another factor involved is the
growing realization of the great and
diversified arsenal of , weapons
available to this country in defend
ing the dollar. Many of ; these are
governmental in nature, but others
are open to private industry as
well. The London Economist prop
erly points out the grave implica
tions for Europe of any really ener
getic American Government action
with respect to interest rates, re
cording the shock inflicted last
week by London rumors that our
discount rate might be jumped to
5, per cent. And the implications of
our current very favorable balance
of trade seem to be getting more
attention than a few weeks ago
when the panic-mongers had a field
day. From the New York Times.

SOUTHERNERS,
! SPEAK OUT!
To the Editor:
Lately I have been sickened by
the constant ridicule that the
great men of the South have
been receiving.
When I read the Daily' Tar
Heel's article concerning "Damn
Yankee Liberals," I was over
whelmed withjoy to see there
was one last Southerner . at the
University of North Carolina.
I did not agree with all the
author's views; however, I did
agree that it is high . time the
few remaining Southerners at the
University of , North r Carolina
speak out against the ever-present
carpetbag rule here. It is time
the great men of the South who
are fighting for Southern Rights
receive praise and admiration for
fighting for what they and the
people of the South believe" in.

DUKE'S TOILET BOWL BID
To the Editor: ,
I am concerned about the
sportsmanship of. the : Carolina
students who were quoted in the
Durham newspaper as having
shouted at the defeated Duke
football team, as it left Kenan
Stadium: "What bowl are you
going to play in, the toilet bowl?"
, As a matter of fact, the Duke
team (notwithstanding its close
loss to U.N.C.) is scheduled to
play in the Cotton Bowl on Jan
uary 2, this completing the cir
cuit of all the major bowl games
in which Duke had been invited
to play football.
Even after U.N.C. had edged
Duke out by one point and had
overpowered mighty Virginia,
Carolina still was listed as being
No. 77 in the nation in William
son's Scientific Rating System.
A team which plays poorly
during most of the season cannot
expect by pulling itself together
for one 1 two-hour period to send
to the "toilet bowl" a team which
during the season has soundly
deefated Navy, Georgia Tech,
Clemson, Maryland, N. C. State,
Wake Forest and the U. of South
Carolina.
If the U.N.C. students who
shouted this insult and. they
were probably a small minority
would reflect upon the above,
they could have a more pure enr
joyment of Carolina's deserved
victory over Duke on November
19. They also would promote bet
ter sportsmanship. ;

A WORD AGAINST HICKEY
To the Editor: t
Your article entitled "A Move
in the Right Direction," which ap-
peared in the "Tar Heel" on
Tuesday, November 29, is an in
sult to the gullibility of even the
average reader.
It drools with newly-acquired
sentiment (acquired, undoubtedly,
immediately following the Duke
game). Less than a month ago,
Mr. Hickey's coaching career was
in a very precarious position.
Now he is acclaimed as a hero, if
not a minor god. What is respon
sible for, this change of popular
opinion??? Contrary to the ridi
culous assumption of one of your
writers, it was not brought about
by "good sportsmanship"; it was
the, direct result, of winning one
single football- game." Yes, win
ning is very important.
.The mob is fickle; their emo
tions are easily changed. It
seems that at least one writer on
the "Tar Heel" .staff had also a
rather sudden change of heart..
This same writer appears to
have several misconceptions
about college football. Big-time
football is not played for "good
sportsmanship" or any other
such noble or lofty concept. Our
team exists for only one pur
pose to win.
Big-time football is not a good,
clean sport. Jn fact, it is not a
sport at all; it is a highly compe
titive business. Either you win or
you don't. You don't lose grace
fully; you just lose. There is no
room for sentiment.
It matters quite a lot whether
you win or lose, and it doesn't
particularly matter how you play
the game (as long as the referee
isn't watching). Good sportsman
ship is a term dreamed up for
the consolation of the loser. One
rarely hears a winning team talk
about good .sportsmanship.
Concerning the idea of giving
Hickey a lifetime contract, we
must realize that this would pro
duce a tremendous change. As I
said before, sentiment and top
notch football just don't mix. If
Hickey is given a lifetime con
tract, we can say goodbye to the
big league, cancel all athletic
scholarships, spend athletic ap
propriations for some sensible
purpose, turn Kenan Stadium into
an outdoor concert hall, and sign
an agreement to . hold annual
games with Podink U., Vassar,
and the Third Grade All-Stars,
just for-the fun of it.
Perhaps this would be a great
improvement after all, but I
think we ought to consider just
what we're getting into.

ANOTHER FIGHTER
FOR TRUTH
Dear "Fighter for Truth":
You said "I" twelve times in
nine sentences. Are you too self-
centered to have any thought for
the other 180 million people in
this country? Probably. This, you
know, is where sectionalism
starts. And sectionalism, Mr.
Fighter; is just about ' the last
thing this country needs now.
The world is too small, in this
century of 'nuclear warfare and
Khrushchev, for civil wars.
' I was born and raised in , the
North, and now my home is in
the South, and the South's ; busi
ness is my: business. v I am , in
favor of the individual, whether
he is black, white, green, or
purple. Your precious . "truth"
rests in ideas, and ideas come
from individuals, not from races.
Integration is for truth and for
the individual. I am for integra
tion. w
Mr. Fighter, take a look at the
truth. No, not what was the truth
a hundred years ago,., but what
the truth is today. Open your
eyes and take a look at the world
and' if-you have enough' courage
to admit the truth to yourself,
you will realize that we can't af
ford to be "Yankees" or "Rebels"
any more. We have to be Ameri
cans. Our house is divided", Mr.
Fighter,1 and a divided house
cannot stand. I will hot, 'as 'you
say, go home and never,come
back;, I am at home, here in
America. . - .,

Poor Pitch
jComposer-pianist Franz Liszt
was born in 1811 and died in
1886 at the age of 75 and if that
seems like a, long time try sit
ting through the motion picture
about his life. "Song Without
End" is not a bad motion picture
in i all departments just in most
departments; the acting is awk
wardly amateurish, but even this
shortcoming cannot hide the
beauty of Liszt's composing. The
musical score alone because it
was taken from Franz Liszt's
works and not Holly lwood's
makes the picture worth seeing.
The plot, however; drips with
Movieland tinsel: Purple - cur
tained concert halls; Liszt's inane
"concert manager". looking for
all the world like a tuxedoed
Gabby Hayes; constant flinging
open of doors and srtpping off of
gloves; all of this complicated by
the fact that Dirk Bogarde, who
plays Liszt, cannot play the
piano. This becomes painfully
obvious after an hour or so of
head-and-shoulder camera angles.
Other embarrassing moments
show up as Bogarde spends more
time on stage tossing his head
about in an attempt to get that
hair-in-eyes look (as if he is
really working at it) instead of
really working at it.
Franz Liszt was a man torn
between many loves: three wom
en and concert work, composing,
and orchestra direction of many
of Wagner's musical scores. This
combination would have driven
many a lesser man to a monas
tery as it did to Liszt.
' The picture opens with Liszt
ready to try a comeback as a
concert pianist he had retired
earlier to compose, but things
weren't going too well with Maria
(Genevive Page) and he still
hungered for the applause of Eu
rope's society elite.
Howe're, waiting in the wings
is. Princess Caroline of Russia,
who is soundly smitten by Liszt's
talent and mainly his good looks.
She persuades him to tour Rus
sia and ; Eastern Europe and he
is soon banging high C with her
emotions.
f : Princess Caroline is married,
an awkward situation at best,
and so cannot accept Liszt's pro
posal: Liszt forthwith realizes
that God has the only cure for
his; emotional confusion and
enters a ; monastery to meditate
and compose.
It is sad that the only thing
capable of . holding together the
picture is the music, which is not
a product of the movie at all.
The actors speak their lines per
fectly, emote when directed to
do so, and the only bright spot
in -the casting is. Martita Hunt,
who splays the Grand Duchess,
Carolina's aunt.
.. The. picture is in dire need of
two things primarily: a piano
playing male lead and a director
who can tell his cast what to do
with their hands as they con
verse. Attending "Song Without End"
is by no means a wasted evening;
but don't watch the picture, just
close your eyes and enjoy the
musical genius of Franz Liszt.
