Hans Morgenthau Addresses Carolina Symposium April 5 By MILES FOY Hans Morgenthau, political scientist and State Department consultant, will speak at the Carolina Symposium April 5, at . -it Hans Morgenthau BY JUDGE 5 Lowenstein, 35, of the conserva tive state legislators and others trying tp pressure University officials into firing him for his participation in anti-segregation protests. "They aren't even dscussing my teaching competence. "Instead they are fishing around in all sorts of irrelevant waters to try and find some hook oh ' which ' to get rid of someone whose ideas they don't like. "This is an extension of the effort to intimidate or punish a great University. It'd an at tempt to create an atmosphere in which disagreement with the point of view of Sen. Stone and Mr. Jesse Helms is discouraged to the point where it tapers off to nothing." Sen. Clarence Stone is the state legislator who helped rush the controversial Gag Law into existence last summer. Jesse Helms is a WRAL-TV editorial ist who supports conservative causes in his five-minute tele cast each weekday evening. "But those people (Stone Helms) don't represent the gen eral view of the average Ameri can," Lowenstein continues. "The only way they can pre vail is to try and frighten every one who doesn't agree with them into silence. "We went through this before with McCarthy. Yell 'Red' and if that doesn't work, think up some other bad word and apply it to people, hoping it will dis courage those who disagree with you. "It's odd," Lowenstein says. "I don't think of myself as a radical. But a lot of people do, chiefly Stone and Helms. "I'm not even a Socialist. I'm a Kennedy Democrat. "I think the things I believe in are the conservative values of democracy the rights of the individual, every individual, to develop; to dissent; to have an opportunity to get the good (Continued on Page 3) 8 p.m. The University of Chicago authority on cold war politics will discuss the influence of the cold war on government and in- X -A -f v S c MALLARD By JEFFREY DICK Judge Raymond B. Mallard yesterday charged Daily Tar Heel co-editor Gary Blanchard with "direct contempt expressed in testimony" tending to "dis credit" Mallard and the Orange County Superior Court. Blanchard was ordered to ap pear at the conclusion of the case presently being heard to "be dealt with in a proper man ner." Blanchard, appearing as a wit ness in the defense of Dr. Wil liam Wynn, assistant professor at UNC charged with trespass, said during the course of his testimony he felt "some of the restrictions imposed to insure the administration of orderly justice were nonsensical." The co-editors appeared before the court yesterday to testify as ITEMS Carnival Entries Needed Today Entries are needed for the Campus Chest Carnival.

Grad Program Offered Here This summer the UNC School of Education is offering an ex tensive program for graduate students and teachers with "A" certificates interested in Special Education. The program is offered to train teachers how to deal with the problems of handicapped and mentally retarded children. There will also be courses con cerned with teaching the excep tional child. Sixty scholarships of $600 each for the twelve weeks of summer school are available for students who want a career teaching the mentally retarded. The deadline for scholarships ap plications is April 15. (Continued on Page 3) dustry. His topic is "The Garri son State: Growth of Economic and Political Concentration." Newsweek Magazine has called Morgenthau "A leading spokes man for what academicians call 'the realistic school of interna tional relations. " He has served as consultant to the Departments of Defense and State on numerous occasions, and has served as director of the Center for Study of American Foreign and Military Policy. While regarding nuclear war as an "absurdity," Morgenthau does not adhere to the "better red than dead" philosophy of Bertrand 'Russell. He adds, how ever, "It is impossible to defend the values of any nation by nu clear war." The lecturer-scholar feels that American political leaders are . chained by public opinion. He has said, "You can't treat po litical science like a natural science. You are confronted with all kinds of historic intangibles. You have to play your hunches at times." It was one of Morgenthau's "hunches" that caused him to abandon a promising position on the law faculty at the Univer sity of Frankfort, Germany, and flee the rising anti-Semitism of the Nazi regime in 1933. He re mained in Switzerland for four years before coming to the U.S. Morgenthau first established himself in U.S. academic circles as an assistant professor of law, history and political science at the University of Kansas City. He became a naturalized citi zen in 1943 to the events immediately pre ceding the arrest of Wynn at Watts Restaurant on Jan. 3 after Wynn and four other professors had staged an anti-segregation protest at the restaurant. Both editors said they attend ed the protest , as newsmen. Co-editor Dave Ethridge took the stand after Wynn had con cluded his testimony. District Solicitor Thomas "Dick" Cooper asked Ethridge if he had "writ ten an editorial referring to the procedures of the court as be- ing nonsense." The defense objected to the question, and Mallard sustained the objection. Cooper asked Ethridge if he had written editorials advocat ing boycotts of establishments which did not serve peoples of all races. Ethridge told the court that the responsibility of editorials was a dual one and that he and Blanchard often collaborated in writing editorials. Ethridge ad mitted that in that respect, he "had written such editorials." Blanchard was then called to the stand. After examination on the events leading up to Wynn's arrest, the prosecution began cross-examination. Cooper asked Blanchard if "he had received information from Dr. Wynn stating that something would happen at Watts on the night of Jan. 3." Blanchard replied, "No." "Was the information you re ceived from some other source?" Cooper asked. Blanchard then replied, "Yes." At this point, the solicitor ask ed several questions pertaining to the editorial which appeared in the Daily Tar Heel March 7, and the judge ordered the jury sent out of the room. Mallard addressed the court room saying: "This court is not on trial. They (the witnesses) are entitled, according to the Constitution to say whatever they want to about the court . . . un less it gets to be a violation of the contempt statute." Cooper contended the jury "had a right to know if this wit ness felt any of the proceedings of the court were to be regarded as nonsense." He said the infor mation was important because the jury could use it to "weigh the credibility of the testimony offered by the witness." Cooper said, "I'd like to ask the witness if he feels this court is nonsense." Wynn's attorneys said they would not object to such a question and the jury was brought back into the court room. The solicitor resumed his ques tioning after the jury had been seated. Cooper: "Do you feel the pro cedings of this court are non sense? Blanchard: "No." Cooper: "Do you feel this court's action in attempting to keep the court quiet and to keep it in order for its business is nonsense?" There was a long pause. Blanchard: "Some of the means I have felt to be arbi trary." Cooper: "Do you feel them to be nonsense?" Blanchard: "What do you mean by nonsense?" Cooper then explained to Blan chard that he was using the term in the sense in which it had ap peared in the Daily Tar Heel editorial and then rephrased his question. Cooper: "Do you believe some of the actions of this court con stitute nonsense?" Blanchard: "I did feel that some of the restrictions imposed to insure the administration of . orderly justice, in which all of : us agree, to be nonsensical." The State then excused Blanch- j ard from the witness chair. j Blanchard was called to the stand again later to offer his opinion of Chapel Hill Detective Howard Pendergraph. Blanch ard told the court he thought (Continued on Page 3) PUB BOARD MEETS The Publications Board will hold interviews for Editor and Business Manager of the Yack and will approve candidates for Editor of the DTH today at 4:30 pan. in the Woodhouse Room of Graham Memorial, SAE Pledges Go Before IFC Court m The twenty-one pledges of Sig ma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity ac cused of doing extensive damage to a Trailways bus during a drinking party March 7 will ap pear before the Interfraternity Council Court tomorrow night.

Peace Corps Is Established In Carolina Governor Sanford announced the establishment Monday of a state Peace Corps to help wage war on what he has termed the "cycle of poverty" in the state. The announcement came at the same time as President Johnson's proposal for a "Job Corps" which was introduced in Congress yesterday. Sanford named the group the North Carolina Volunteers, and said it will be composed of 100 college and university students who will be screened and orient ed for a 10-week pilot program this summer. "We will seek in this pro gram to use the same energies and imagination demonstrated so successfully by college stu dents in Peace Corps work. Participation by college stu dents in community projects supported by the North Carolina Fund will greatly accelerate our State's war on poverty," the Governor said. Meanwhile, Democratic gu bernatorial candidate Dan Moore urged creation of a similar group in a political campaign speech in Trenton. Moore said Monday night that using student volunteers in the war on poverty and ignorance was his idea and that the plan announced by Gov. Sanford "appears to coincide in many respects with mine." He said his proposal "is simp ly a part of an overall program which I have been discussing for some time." He said all as pects of the plan "have been under consideration for some time and they shall be elabor ated with care and attention to detail." He said that if the Governor's plan coincided with his own "I am pleased that he approves of my idea and gratified that he has. moved with such speed to put it into effect." An aide to the Governor said Sanford had announced a pro gram "he's worked on for six months. The Governor is an nouncing the program not a promise, J .Dickson Cfa. Fo 7V0 Davis, Gray, Shuf f Also On Slate Chused Gets Nod For Class President Paul Dickson has been chosen by the Student Party to head their slate of Student Body officers in the spring elections. Jeff Davis received the vice presidential nomination, Made line Grey was selected for secre tary and Lanny Shuff will be the candidate for treasurer. In accepting the nomination, Dickson called for a continuance of student party ideals, and cited instances in which the SP had acted. "Concrete accomplishments in the area of dormitory - life are a matter of record. This year Ever ett Dorm, of which I am presi dent, has broken all records in dormitory competition. As of January, we were 600 points ahead of the nearest competitor," he said. "It is this kind of spirit that student government can instill. This is the concern of the student, body and this is where we have succeeded. "While the nominee from the other party calls for emphasis on residence hall community life, we can demonstrate examples of spe cific action taken in this area since 1953. I am afraid my op ponent is 11 years too late," he added. On the party's campaign plan, Dickson said, 'The duty of the Student Party is to set forth a platform committed to liberal val ues off and on campus ... To present able leaders capable of intelligently arguing for a viable student government for student autonomy ... to provide a con tinuous open forum for all stu dents, Greek or non-Greek. If the party swerves radically from these ideals, it will continue to resemble the Student Party in name only. "This year, we will again seek more improvements, financed by the University. "We shall ask for a more de tailed definition of the campus code ... we must clearly de fine its scope. "We shall ask for a higher wage scale for those students em ployed by the University in Lenoir Hall, the Pine Room, Spencer Dorm, and other areas. "On civil rights, we shall con tinue to support the concept of equal rights for all students. As far as I am concerned, our stu dent constitution is color blind and we shall not deviate from complete honesty and frankness on this issue. "As for myself, I am ready and willing," he added. "I am eager to engage in debate, to visit every room and shake every hand. "Frankly, I am excited." Nominations for other Student Party candidates had not been made by press time last night. They will be carried in Thurs day's DTH. Need A Shine? Look At This! Want a beautiful ' girl to shkie your shoes?

SP LAST NIGHT ILD rexy I , i ; r f li'Wi ' ' , ; - - SP Nominee Congress On Poverty Plan WASHINGTON (UPI) Con gress went straight to work Tuesday on President Johnson's $962.5 million plan for a war on poverty. There were predictions that a bill would be ready for House action in six weeks. Republican charges that John son had served up "re-heated legislative leftovers" brought an angry retort from Speaker John W. McCormack. "The Republicans have op posed everything," he told re porters, his voice rising. "They have .been very negative-minded." McCormack said he told John son at a White House breakfast for congressional leaders that Capitol reaction to the anti-poverty proposals was "overwhelm ingly favorable" and that he could expect quick action. Less than 24 hours after the President sent his message to Congress, a special House sub committee on education and labor opened hearings on the measure. The bill would organ ize a "job corps'" for 100,000 underprivileged youths, finance antfjpoverty plans, help needy students work their way through college, and provide grants and loans to small farmers, and busi nessmen in - poverty - stricken areas. . . . Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D.-N.Y.) the full committee chairman, called hearings through .April with the idea of clearing a bill for floor action by May 1. "We cannot delay another day in our attack upon this ancient enemy," said the Harlem con DANCE! The Men's Residence Council returns to the old social pattern Saturday with a combo party at the Women's Gym to be co-sponsored with the Carolina Wom en's Council. The MRC, after a highly suc cessful dance March 7 at the Carolina Inn, has contracted the Rivieras, a five-piece, four-singer combo. ; Not only that, but they've spent more money on the Rivi eras than on any other perform ers this year. The "dance" will be frcm 3 to 12 pjn. and will be held on the patio next to the Women's Gym if weather permits. Admission is free.; , . . . osee i 21 - - Photo by Jim Wallace Paul Dickson At Wor gressman. "We cannot allow 1964 to pass knowing that Amer ica has not met its major social purpose." Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver, chosen by Johnson to lead the attack on poverty, opened the administration's case for the bill along with Walter W. Heller, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. Shriver said he was not inter ested in creating a "big new bureaucracy" but in using the nation's "know - how and re sources to eliminate grinding poverty. "Every dollar will be used ta help the poor," Shriver said. "There will be no leakage." Heller said general economic growth alone cannot raise the income of the one American family in every five that earns less than $3,000 a year. Govern ment spending could do the job, he said, but the President wants iAmericans to "earn their way out of poverty" through self help. ' Edwards Named YMC A President Outgoing Y M C A President Bruce Cooper announced yester day that officers for next year have been elected. Replacing Cooper will be Rick Edwards, a junior from Auburn, Ala. Edwards served last year as vice president of the Associa tion. Other officers are George II.
