Chapel Hill News Leader Lndmg With The News in Chapel Hill, Cartboro, Glen Lennae and Surrounding Areas VOL. Ill, NO. 86 THURSDAY. OCTOBER 75, 1956 Will There Be A Polish Split-Off? Dc.spil.c olliti,''! denials IVoni kiissia, it is evident thal in Poland there exists a strong nalionali.sl .sciiliment uhieh wants to .set np an indepcnilent Polish government with a separale I’olish policy. Phis .scntirneni may or may not be cnconi- aged bv Wcst.ciii propaganda and eoncerded Western money: the facts as to that are not likely lo rnnic ont .soon. litil it is in no wise strange lhal a .separ.tt- ist feeling is making itself felt not only in Poland but elsewhere on Rttssia’s rim. 1 he ii'sions that have htiddicd elo.se to kns.sia have done nriieh ol that hiiddling out ot letir: they ktiew thttt few of them were .strong etiotigh to stand alone, and that only in a forribic union was there .strength enough to enable thetn to sitrvis e in a world, made tip of rieh and rnihless nations, T'ntnre history may be able to show that the chief agenry in tnrcin,g the.se little coun tries to huddle np to Russia and stick close Putting On An Act If Premier P>nlganin’s note on hsdrogen bomb restrictions teas a political manetiver, so was President Kiscnhi.iwer’s reply. The langitagc did not .sound like Ike. We think it tv.is contrived by the trained pnbli'-i- is boys from New ^'ork who have directed his campaign so far. It teas full of self rishteons- ness and \ irtuons indignation, and stilf-neck- ed tvith po.se. fn short, it was a case ol putting on an act. The horc-d,are-yon slant in Ike’s reply was obviously designed to impress the roters.on the eve of election, just as all statements and messages em:.' taring from the White Hoti.se now have that purpose. U ignores the fact that the tkS has been following a cold power policy no less than Russia, and that the .snorts and bellowings issuing from the U. S. State Department have frightened the world just •as nrtich as the brandishings by Russia. A Real Big League I he l.eagtie ol Women N'oters has put a new meaning into political life in these parts, t his is a sentiment often exprcs.scd, and one that is strongly endorsed by this iiews atpei. Ihiiil the l.eligue came along, politics in this area and elsewhere had become some what like a house or room lived in exclusive ly bv ni:dc.s—fusts and dusty, fly specked a'nd; carcic.ss. filled with otit of date newspapers and tight .air. When the girls came in, they ihanged all thal. Thev opened,the wiitdows and let in the fresh air. ritcy strept out the house and had the rugs cleaned.

The fk S. has for years been eiicireling Russia or draw'ing u|> close to the Ru.s,sian border with fortresses, air Helds, and deposits of auns. I'his eiK'lrelemeni has doubtless filled not (.niv .Soviet Ru.ssi;i bin an onlooking world with dre;‘d of a bombing tear that might break ont at any niomcnt. Now that this pre.ssnre on Ru.ssia has been .somewhat relaxed, the a.ssorred nauoiis grouped under the Red banner are tending to fly apart. This is only to be exjrected, for it is evident that only .rri underlying fear could hold such diverse civilizations together. The best thing the Western governments could do would be ito stand aside and let nature’take its eonr.se in the Russian sphere. If they begin interfering, with their money and armies, they will rati.se the gaps to close lip again and bring the day clo.scr when the nuclear bombs will destroy millions. The harm lies in the fact that the relations between the U. S. and Ru.ssia rest on such a thin and cracking ' ba.sis thal any form ol belligerence, even in rhetoric, may set. off the sery bombswhich are under discussion and annihilate ciric.s before the exch,inge ol notes has cooled. riic.se notes, however, may help the world ro sec what is invoK'cd in the discn.ssion. .So tar, the peoples of the earth have been skepti cal about the alarms excited by nuclear ex plosions.

The oeposion, later e\'ents prov-. cd, heralded the beginning of the end of -the Klan in North Carolina. While it sparked an 18-'months round ol' organizing of the -secret order in eastern N.

The green-garbed Grand Dragon Tern Hamilton was exhorting the crowd from the speaker's stand. After a few moments his Flori da Klan cohort Bill Hendrix took over. The Grand Dragon stepped over 1.0 the end of the stand to meet the three or fciir reporters w'ho were standing around. “Go right ahead, hoys," he t-old us. "This is a public meeting.
