TUESDAY ISSUE Next Issue Friday Vol. 33 No. 41 World's Hope For Peace Is Described by Frank Graham (Editor's Note: Former U. S. senator and president of the Uni versity of North Carolina, Dr. Frank P. Graham put down his private views for readers of The Charlotte News recently on cur rent chances for an end of the | cold war. Knowing the interest in Chapel Hill in Dr. Graham and in peace, the Weekly reprints the article here.) By Dr. Frank P. Graham New York | In seeking to answer your| question as to the present pros pects for relaxing the tensions of the cold war and for taking more definite steps toward peace, I wish first of all to say that I claim no special knowledge or competence. I speak with more of the general hope now felt by the people of the world than with any expert knowledge in the posses sion of the statesmen at Geneva. The conference at Geneva has gotten off to a good start with friendly gestures on both sides. This itself is somewhat of a change from the blasts and coun terblasts which have sometimes characterized the opening confer ences of the two great power groups. First Issues The immediate issues which di vide the Communist and non- Communist world are: (1) the re unification of Germany with real freedom in elections and with real freedom in its .own decisions concerning re-arming and mem- Kship in the democratic com nity; (2) free elections in the Eastern European nations, prom ised in the Yalta agreement in accordance with the principle of the self-determination of peoples, which is also a basic principle of the United Nations; (3) the continuance of American bases in many lands as a part of the de fensive strategy of the “free world"; (4) progressive and ef fectively enforceable disarma ment of all types of forces and weapons of war and mass de struction; (5) the opening of knowledge and contacts between the two worlds; (6) the promised ending of subversion as part of an international apparatus; and (7) (not on the agenda but in the background of the Geneva Con ference) the question of the ad mission of Communist China in the United Nations, subject to re quirements of the United Na tions, along with the question of admission of all non-member na tions as part of the goal of uni versal membership. None Insoluble MrNone of these issues are pro gressively insoluble except as ad amant positions make them so. These main issues provide the op portunity for carrying out in ac (Continued on page 4) Harold Mahoney to Speak This Evening Harold J.

New Book from University Press Gives Light on Democracy in South America In the spring of 1954 Galo Plaza, who had been president of j Ecuador from 1948 to 1952, de livered the Weil Lectures on I American Citizenship in Carroll Hall on the University campus. For three evenings Mr. Plaza spoke on “Problems of Democra jcy in Latin America,” and each .evening drew a larger attendance (than the previous evening. And rightly so because the to pic for each of the three even ings wus one of interest to many ;Chapel llillians, and Mr. Plaza, a gifted speaker, presented the lectures in such a clear and un derstandable way. It was re marked by a listener following the third lecture that Mr. Plaza should write a book on the sub ject of the lectures. And now that has been done; at least the University Press has recently published Mr. Plaza’s “Problems of Democracy in Latin America.” (88 pages) which is the 1954 series of Weil Lectures. (Price: »2.50) 9 In the book, the author points out that the people of Latin | America are basically democratic, 'and that they are ready for a new tga of democratic government. In the closing paragraphs Mr. Pla za says that whatever the limit ation, “the barriers in the hemi- Ishere or the undermining action from without, democracy is evi dently on the march, not an inert, static expression of democracy, but a dynamic formula constantly in the process of evolution.” His conclusion is that “demo cracy is no longer the responsibil ity of individuals as such, or of nations separately; it is the re sponsibility of joint efforts in our interdependent world.

In the North Carolina Open at Asheville they reached the semi-finals of the men’s doubles by defeating the No. I seeded team of Jack Staton' and Nathan Brandon of Florida. Each of them won his first round in the singles of the senior divi sion J»ut lost in the second round.

The first part of the book is I “North and South Americans A I Comparison.” In this section the author discusses the twenty in dependent countries south of the ltio Grande and compares their history with the history of the (United States. He reaches the conclusion that despite differ ences between Latin Americans and North Americans, the Latin Americans are closer to the northern neighbors in their newer and more hopeful conception of life. In chapter two he dismisses “Ecuador An Experiment in Democracy.” Here he discusses his own country and especially his term of office and his experi ment in democracy, which did not “blow up in his face” as many ex pected it to. His formula was simple—“ Give the government back to the people!” "Democracy in Latin America —Past and Future” is the final chapter in the book. Here Mr. Plaza quotes from the documents of the Tenth International Con ference of American States, which was held in Caracas in 1954, pointing out problems of a social-economic nature that face I,atin American countries, the lack of well-planned action in op position to communism, and poss ible action by the United States that could alleviate these condi tions.—C.

C., TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1955 j turtles of the period when the old buggies were new. Linen dusters and goggles and long dresses and straw hats were the uniform of |the day.’ The lengthy caravan was broken up pretty badly in the Chapel Hill traffic, and [the cars headed for the Pines and waiting box lunches in groups of one and two and three. We hitched a ride out with VV. L. Biggs of Laurin burg, who was driving an open 1916 T-model Ford I with a four-cylinder copper head engine. Mr. Biggs, who 'attended the University here from 1941 to 1943, said he had been having coil trouble for the last three miles of his trip to the village. The floorboards were hot under our feet, and the old Ford coughed a few times, but it made it to the Pines. In the. parking lot behind the restaurant sat the color ful array of cars, sparkling with drops of rain as the sun 'came out and bathed the area. Their names were as fascinating as their appear ances: A 1913 Simplex, a 1908 Hupmobile, a 1903 Winner, a 1911 Maxwell (remember Jack Benny’s famous car on bis radio programs?), a 1913 Marmon, a 1904 Ueo, a 1920 Templar, a 1912 Metz, a 1911 Case, a 1923 Franklin, a 1905 Knox, and a 1916 Stutz Bearcat which carried the proud trade slogan on its grill: “The Car that Made ;Good in a Day.” Several hundred people crowded around the cars, ex claiming over “the big bi cycle chain” on a Reo chain drive model, the tiny rubber tires and wooden wheels of the Marmon, the familiar old Fords that were popping along on their four cylinders as if they were taking their first spin from the factory. A freight-train whistle announced a new arrival; a driver kept clanging a rau cous bell; a little boy, enjoy-j ing himself immensely, stood on the running board of his! father’s antique car and I waved at the people as he rode into the lot; a teen aged girl in a huge open (Packard of early ’2o’s vin-J tage looked unhappy in her' (Continued on page 5) —■ j l olgar Show Tomorrow Franz Polgar will give his famous "Miracles of the program at 8 o’clock tomorrow I (Wednesday) evening in ’Me morial hall under the auspices |Of the University’s Summer Acti ivities Committee.

Summer Session's Enrollment Is lip from 1054 Enrollment for the second session of the University’s Summer School totals 2,271,' an increase of 362 over the corresponding session of last year, it was announced to- 1 day by Guy B. Phillips, di- 1 rector of the Summer School. The 1954 second session attendance.was 1,919. Although, as usual, at tendance at the second ses sion is under that of the first, the 1955 enrollment at both sessions is 781 greater than for both sessions last year, Mr. Phillips’ figures disclose. This year’s total enrollment is 5,210 compared with 4,429 last year. There were 2,939 students in the first session of 1955 com pared with 2,510 in the 1954 first term. Summer School attend-' ance is following the trend of enrollment at the regular session. Following World War 11, both were high, then both declined; and in the 'past three years, they have been on ttye increase. Thus, :as more persons are being graduated from high schools and attending college, so are more persons going to sum mer school, the figures indi-' cate. At Memorial Hospital Among local persons listed as patients at Memorial hospital yesterday were T. N. Alderman,! Archie Lee Baldwin, Charles Barbee, John M.

Chapel Hillians Help Form Chapter of Social Workers* National Association Social workers in the Durham- Chapel Hill-Raleigh area are ac tive in organizing an eastern North Carolina Chapter of the Natonal Association of Social Workers, a new professional or ganization of 20,000 members, which will come into being Octo ber 1, 1955. Chapter membership will be drawn from the eastern part of North Carolina ending with and including the following counties as a western boundary: Richmond, Moore, Chatham, Orange, and Person. The new association, the pro duct of six years of negotiation and planning, will supplant the following seven groups: the American Association of Group Workers, American Association of Medical Social Workers, Amer ican Association of Psychiatric Social Workers, American Asso ciation of Social Workers, Associ ation for the Study of Commun ity Organization, National Asso ciation of School Social Workers, and Social Work Research Group. Members of each of these groups have- voted overwhelmingly to dissolve their separate associa tions and support a unified or ganization. Plans for the National Associa tion of Social Workers provide for a national body with 1(0 local chapters, covering all parts of the U.B.A. and its territories. Its Bill Cochranes Here Mr. and Bfys. Bill Cochrane, who have been living in Wash ington, D. C., have reoccupied their home near Chapel Hill for the summer.

A neighbor, whom I meet for a drink at his house or mine now and then, said to me yesterday: “I’ve recom mended an improvement in our yard but I don’t believe anything’s going to be done about it.” I said: “Your yard looks all right to me. !What do vou want to change jit for?” | He said: “You remember ; those pictures we used to see in our school books, showing the contraptions the Puritans in New Eng land used for punishment for various offenses? Well, I was reminded of them when my wife was scolding me about something this morning. I forget what it was—something or other I had done or not done. What she said wasn’t violent. It (was pretty mild really, still jit was plainly a scolding. I said to her: ‘You know what I’m going to do to our yard?’ This didn’t have anything to do with what she had been talking about and she stop ped the scolding to say: ‘No, what?’ And I said: ‘l’m go ing to rebuild our bird-bath so it’ll be big enough to hold a ducking stool.’ ” * * * * For a year or so I had three neighbors named Burns; Colonel Robert Car ter Burns (commanding of ficer of the University’s (Naval ROTC), Mrs. Burns, and their daughter Mary Carter.

Maybe a good guess is two years. The site for the building is made up of the Archer house lot and the former Roberson lot on Columbia street opposite the Baptist church. There have been many de lays in the Ackland Museum project. First, there was long litigation to determine whether the University here or Rollins College in Florida should get the Ackland be quest. Then there had to be a wait till interest on the fund should pile up to an amount needed for the build ing.
