Friday, JantiMy 13, Editoria I Opin ion Comment Bulletin The DAILY NEBRASKAN What's next . . . For Martin Dies . . . and committee The work of 18 month has been filed with congress and the house committee investigating un-American activities, Martin Dies, chairman, is officially dissolved. Should IU work be continued? That's what Joe Belden, who had the lucrative Idea of polling the nation's college youth by means of Student Opinion Surveys of America, asked and found that 56 per cent of the college students favor its continuance. The DAILY, being a member of Mr. Belden's organization and conducting its share of Interviews on this campus, presents those facts today or its front page. For a year and a half the committee has been alternately scorned and praised. We have gone on record several timet In contempt of some of the practices followed by the committee. Many times the committee has been the dueling ground tor personal prejudice, tome of Its efforts havs been ridiculous; much has been superfluous. But the committee has made Americana aware of the presence of alien, subversive propaganda ele ments. It has shown the United States that even this nation cannot be securely isolated from foreign political and economic doctrines that the old "melt ing pot" theory does not hold because persona resid ing in the U. S. still have their interests in the success of countries with borders on foreign ground. But should the Dies committee activities be extended? The committee says testimony "of extreme Im portance" remains to be taken. Yet in the same report, It says "indisputable evidence" has been gathered to prove that the communistic party of the United States is a foreign conspiracy masked as a political organization. If this evidence has been gathered and Is In disputable, has not the committee attained Ks major objective? Is not the next step up to con gress, to formulate legislation based upon the findings contained In the 7,000 pages of testimony compiled by the committee? The house committee investigating un-American activities has been successful during the past 18 months. It has accomplished its task. If noth ing more, It has made many Americans conscious of their nationalistic feelings and has sent several foreigners scooting back home. To continue its operation at the increasing expense is unnecessary if the lessons taught by its report will remain firmly fan the minds of Americans thru appropriate cor gressional legislation. Up to the minute, scientifically proved, ncver fail methods as set forth by that widely accepted authority, Chris Peterson, who gave the world such dissertations as "Ten Methods of Skinning a Ba nana," "How to Embalm a Dead Party," and "How to Raise Sextuplets in Sex Easy Lessons." If she presses the question, Hve in the past, be tt ever so shady, and disregard all inference to leap years. If she presses the question on the street: Throw a cigarette into a manhole and ask her to atep on it If she presses the question In a phone booth: Say, "Pardon me, but I mwrt phone the wife and six kiddles in Hong Kong." If she presses the question over a table top: Become patriotic and like Patrick Henry declare, "I am already a victim of taxation without repre sentation namely alimony."

HE GETS WHAT HE WANTS Today's news offers another example of the president asking for a foot and then accepting an inch. Some months ago the president and a few of his Immediate supporters startled the American Medical association and others by outlining plans for a program of socialized medicine. Greeted by a roar of indignant protest, the president quietly withdrew his open support. Yet today it becomes apparent that the chief executive did not forget bis determination to extend medical services to those who might normally be compelled to do without Reports today indicate that the president has proposed and medical groups have approved a $10,000,000 hospital building program in communi ties where no such facilities now exist The plan, if adopted by congress, calls for governmental con struction of 50-bed hospitals providing each commu nity guarantees maintenance of operation. Among the grim items which greet one in the news columns each day, this proposal to extend vital social serv ices where they are needed Is cheering, and prom ises progress along the American "battle front". TODAY'S CANDIDATE Is Gov. Arthur H. James, Pennsylvania's "favo rite son?" While not formally announcing bis can didacy for the presidential office, James has indi cated his distrust of Thomas E. Dewey, leading republican candidate. Assets possessed by the Pennsylvania republican include leadership of the delegation of one of the pivotal states, and the influential support of Joseph Pew, oil magnate, a figure important in republican inner circles. As today's candidate we give him to you. "HANDS OFF' CREDITS The V. S. Tuesday extended credits of $10, 000,000 to Norway. This is interpreted to be a step designed to bolster Norway in the face of possible Russian aggression. It seems that diplo matic circles fear that Russia may attempt to strike across Norway to establish a port on the Atlantic Although such a step would be profitable com mercially to Russia, it is hardly to be expected. For Russia's military fortunes in Finland are not of such a nature as to prompt her to attack another nation, at least not for some time. Further, Russia has ao claim of any kind upon Norway, not that this is of any great consequence. Diplomats are always extremely suspicious of all nations, quits often with insufficient justification. Credit advances have been made to Finland already. Now Rep. Hamilton Fish proposes that congress appropriate $20,000,000 with which Fin land may buy needed relief provisions, but not war materials. Fish's resolution is admirably humanitarian, but all these "moral support" proposals constitute a definite meddling in European affairs that circum stances, coldly and realistically faced, hardly Justify. Our Inadequate support of Finland can't be expected to save her, and it isn't well, economically speaking, to invest money in a losing cause. We're spending, at least proposing to spend, a considerable amount of money to protect a very small Investment Let Interested European nations subsidize Finland and Norway, and let the U. S. solve her domestic prob lems. It would be well for us to wait until we know more certainly where our best Interests lie before taking definite action. "Hands off would be the best for now.
