PAGE 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Tuesday. December 14, 1948 Un-American Committee Tells Puzzling Answers . . . About Fellow Traveler What is a '-fellow traveler?" How can I spot them on campus? How do they compare with Schmoos for value? I was puzzled about these ques tionsuntil I found a cute little pamphlet prepared by the House Un-American Activities committee which nave me the "answer."' The pamphlet explains simply (quite simple) that a fellow traveler is "0110 who sympathizes with the party's aims and serves the party's purposes without ac tually holding a party card (paity clear definition, eh what?). Where Are They? And how can I find fellow trave'ers risht here at home, on the campus? The pamplet ex plains: -To show up a fellow traveler, ask him to name two it ti Russia. He will be on Russfa's side every time" (That test is popularly called the FT test.) ix . So armed with that mathemat ically precise formula. I set out to find a few UN fellow travelers for possible display in Morrill hall. I asked my first victim, an arts and science ' sophomore, to name ten things wrong with the United States He answered: 1. Lousy ed ucational system; 2. Lack of free dom of the press; 3. Unlimited debate in the senate; 4. The Elec toral college; etc. What About Russia? Then I continued, name two things wrong with Russia, lhe answer: (1) Too little freedom. (2) Too much control. Well, I wondered, whose side was he on. Afraid to ask him, I decided to leave the problem to J. P. Thomas. I approached other potential fellow travelers and received an swers of all kinds: (things wrong with US); (1) Too many grafters, (2) Too narrow-minded people, (3) Government too hyprocritical, (4) I haven't ever thought about it- flhinss wrong with Russia): (1) Government ownership, (2) Government control of informa tion, (3) Low standard of living. (4) There's nothing wrong with Russia, and (5) No Russian mints. Who Would Flunk? T wzjntpd someone who would more obviously flunk the FT test so I kept looking. L,ooKing ior someone to answer the question thus: (1) House Committee on Un-American Activities, (2) J. Parnell Thomas, chairman, (o) Karl E. Mundt, (4) John Mc Dowell, Pennsylvania. (5) Rich ard M. Nixon, California, (6) Richard B. Vail, Illinois, (7) John S. Wood, Georgia, (8) John E. Rankin, Mississippi. (9) J. Hardin Peterson, and (10) F. Edward He bert, Louisiana. uriivsasivy RADIO BY EARL KATZ Simulated broadcast is- here! The radio section will start tomor row to institute a new campus radio station called KUON.

"TIip wooden steps the same platform, stained with the storm and sunshine for these seven years. Let me stand here. O God! Let me stand here, until the red dawn lights my face for all to see. Rev. Arthur uimms dale, overwhelmed with h i s shame, standing where Hester Pryne stood!" Once again the university ra dio section's "Authors of the Ages" brings to life for a brief half-hour, great stories written by some of the "Authors of the Ages." This week it will be the Soar let Letter, a story searching into the inherent bad found among the good and the good found among the bad. Hawthorne seems to preach the lesson that the dividing line between the two is not very distinct. The Scarlet Letter is "the sign of shame sewn on all those who have led lives of sin." Hester Prynne is the woman who is destined to wear tne leiier xueic is another who also snouia De wearing it . . . the preacher, Arthur Dimmsdale. Listen at 9:30 p. m.

Goldenrod Stationery Store IT takes big companies to turn out and service equipment like this. At International Harvester we have the idea that when a company grows be yond a certain size, it becomes a social as well as business institution. And that as a social institution it has cer tain well-defined responsibilities. So we like to think that this picture is an illustration of applied social science. The employes built the truck, but it would not have been built if the customers had not wanted to buy it, nor would it have been built if the stockholders had not furnished Har vester with the necessary capital. At International Harvester we be lieve that our business should be run not for any one of these groups alone, but for all of them together . . . cus tomer, employe, and stockholder. For our employes, this policy means providing well-paid jobs to the largest number of men and women who can be productively employed. Today we have more than 90,000 employes. Be fore the war we had 60,000. The aver age straight-time hourly earnings of our factory employes have increased 92.6 since 1941. For our customers, it means pro ducing the best possible goods and services at the lowest possible cost. Our margin of profit on sales today is one-third less than in 1941. For our stockholders, it means a fair return for the savings they have invested in our Company. Dividends on common stock in 1947 were equiva lent to 5 on the book value, as compared with 4 in 1941. INTERNATIONAL The Company as a whole had prof its, after taxes, in 1947, of ro)i cents from each dollar of sales. We believe most people regard this as a reason able rate of profit. We know it is our continuing abil ity to earn a reasonable profit that has made it possible for International Harvester, again in this past year, to serve more people customers, em ployes, and stockholders in greater measure than ever before. Profits mean progress for everyone. We hoie to be able to continue to make a reasonable profit with each succeeding year in the future.
