They Wanted To Know
A near-record number of students over 2,300
crowded the Union, ballroom and lounge Mon
day morning to hear Maurice Hindus discuss
"Alter Stalin Who and What?" Seldom, if ever,
have so many students turned out to hear a con
vocation speaker.
Why were students so interested in this par
ticular man and what he had to. say? Students
were wondering what about the true state of af- ternal changes, but many external changes. Pres-
fairs In regard to Russia. They hoped, and not in ent Russian policy is leading toward war, he said

vain, that Maurice Hindus, himself a native of
Russia and long-time New York Tribune foreign
correspondent, would give them such a picture.
The students wanted to find out the effects of the
war in Korea and the prospects of peace for the
future.
Hindus presented a much more hopeful pic
ture of world affairs than is usually painted by
government officials. He was not of the same
opinion as a certain commentator who weekly
' declares war on his radio program. Hindus said
that Stalin would be a "maniac" to start another
war. He attributed the Korean war to a mis
calculation on the part of Stalin, whom he char
acterised as ruthless, bat clever dictator.
At the end of the last war, Hindus said, Russia
was in the best possible position, since the rest
of the world was rapidly disarming. The red
action in Korea caused the United States and
other Western nations to begin rearmament. It
served to start a race for arms, in which Russia
may well be the loser.
Hindus said the only reason Russia does not
start another war, perhaps striking at Yugoslavia
or Iran, is that they are afraid of the atom bomb.
In our hands, the atom bomb is a terrible de
terrent to aggression, he said, because of the dam
age that our bombs could inflict upon Russian
production centers. Russia could destroy American
industrial centers, Hindus said, but this would
not help them, since their own Industries would
probably be destroyed as well
Hindus saw little possibility of a revolution
Within Eussia, since, he said, there is a vast
army of secret police whose business it is to
combat internal opposition. However be did say
that the present trend of Russian thinking would
in his opinion, lead to an abatement of the
severity of the dictatorship sometime in the
future. This might, he thought, lead to a more
democratic form of government.
Stalin's death, he said, would cause few in-
but war is the one thing Russia cannot afford.
Hindus' viewpoint is certainly a positive one
He does not see a dark future for the world as do
many persons. His viewpoint is logical and cer
tainly within the realm of possibility. His theories,
if they are true, are certainly, good news for a
nation that has heard all too little good news dur
ing the past few months.
Hindus is a man who should know something
of the psychology of the Russian mind, having
lived the first 13 years of his life there, and hav
ing visited the country intermittently since then.
His story, more than that of visiting congressmen
or correspondents with special "sources," seems
authentic.
The convocations committee is to be con
gratulated upon their choice of Hindus as a
speaker. He is one of the best and one of the
most timely to visit the University in a longtime.
Your Editorial Misled
Little Man On Campus By Bibler
Or
of
Lucky The Lion-Hearted
The mystery of the week has been solved,
has it?
The lazy lion which terrified residents
Saunders county for several days last week has
been found. The "lion" seems to be Lucky, a
friendly St. Bernard, who belongs to Mrs. Noia
Bailey of Lincoln. If this does prove to be the cai.e,
the whole spectacle of a sheriffs posse, complete
with bloodhounds, searching for the ferocious lion
looks just a little ridiculous.
The whole case began when a farmer plowing
his field reported that he saw a lion. Then began
a frantic search for the fugitive from an African
jungle.
Several dog lovers reported that at a distance
St Bernards closely resemble lions. The situa
tion might be alleviated by a requirement that St.
Bernards carry little flasks around their necks, for
purposes of identification.
What About Murder?
As reports were released about the murdering
of 6,270 American war prisoners, Americans were
shocked and angered. Previous accounts of POW
treatment had thrown many persons off guard
These reports had described treatment to be favor
able. Despite reports from different news sources,
stories about atrocities seem pretty authentic now,
nd repercussions have been varied. Significance
of the charges are quite far reaching. Even the
British foreign office must realize this for it has
asked if the United States could back up the
charge.
As we recover from the first shock, we should
consider what implications might result from
the announcement. It would seem that any gov
ernment which has formally recognized the
Peoples Republic of China government might
want to check their cards again. Technically,
recognition of a government consists of exchang
ing diplomats, but factors behind the decision
to exchange ambassadors or ministers are of
prime Importance.
Those who believe mere military supremacy
by a government to be enough basis for formal
recognition certainly should reconsider that theory.
The right of a government to rule a particular
area should be accompanied by certain interna
tional obligations and humane treatment of war
prisoners is one of these obligations. In the murder
ernment in Russia was not recognised by the
United States until that government would ac
cept certain responsibilities. Likewise until the
leaders of the Chinese government who are re
sponsible for the war crimes have been punished,
this government has no rightful place among
the family of nations.
This is the first implication of the atrocities.
Another is steps the United Nations will take
against a military unit that has murdered soldiers
who were members of its army. A resolution by
the UN calling for punishment of the leaders or
dering the slaughter would serve to notify the
world that war atrocities no longer will go un
noticed by all except relatives and friends of the
murdered.
Although atrocities by any nation are brutal,
it takes murder of Americans to start the ball
rolling toward punishment. About a year ago
we read reports of Chinese communists purging
thousands of nationalist sympathizers. Probably
the brutality employed then was no less than
what we are finding oat today. This time
American boys were hurt. It was Americans
who were murdered at the hands of a ruthless
enemy which we must someday stop. Americans
have another bitter taste of what war brings.
This time atrocities will not go unnoticed, Just
as the war criminals of World War II did not
escape punishment.
When leaders of government whether our
of the American prisoners, not to mention the government or a foreign government-are made
thousands of Koreans, the Chinese government to understand without doubt that treatment ot
has demonstrated its inability to accept certain war prisoners Is a responsibility which definitely

yt orders. This hesitation might prevent a great

(The views expressed in the
Dear Editor column are those of
the writer and not necessarily
those of The Daily Nebraskan.)
Dear Editor:
We feel that parts of your edi
tonal of Nov. 16, "Of Work Or
Flay are misleading and incor
rect. You stated that the engineers
are impatient with an organiza
tion that has not yet celebrated
its first birthday and that we were
rather nationalistic in favor of
our own system.
If our memory serves us cor
rectly, College Days has been
tried several times previously
with absolutely no success.
Why? We feel that each time
it was handled in the same man
ner as the present organization,
and this in a large way, con
tributed to its downfall. As for
being impatient, how would you
feel if you and your predeces
sor had successfully operated
an exposition for almost 40
years and then should read in
The Daily Nebraskan that a
group of self-appointed people
who call themselves the College
Days board have taken over
your function lock, stock and
barrel with no previous con
sultation or consideration to
operate it as they see fit.
As we stated in the Executive
Board resolution,' "In the event
that the Student Council organ
izes a function tha parallels En
gineers Open House in objectives
and purposes, we will cooperate
in all ways possible to the fullest
extent. If not, we will be forced
to continue Engineers Open House
on an entirely individual basis."
You quoted this us, "If College

Miss Krueger and Miss Carl

Columbia, Mo, Last weekend
they argued the high school
question before approximately
200 students.
Olson presented a lecture to the
students on "Evidence." After
the Krueger-Carlson debate, high

ger and. Miss Carlson and their
opposition.
Days is what we consider educa
tional, we will go .-.long with it.
If not, we will have nothing to
do with it." The difference iii
semantics is quite obvious.
You accuse the Engineers of
wanting to destroy the College
Days board now set up and re
place it with a completely new
organization, which you say would
destroy or cripple any College
Days in 1952. We do not believe
that the intent of the Engineers
is to destroy the present board,
but rather to assure a smoothly
operating organization which will
result in success of the venture.
Representatives of College
Days feel that a certain amount
of "carnival" atmosphere and
commercialism is necessary to
assure success of the venture.
Engineers Open House has been
going for almost 40 years with
out a ' carnival" atmosphere or
commercialism, and it has been
a huge success every year until
last when outside elements
hampered its operation.
"'he representatives sav that
since College Days is rnly a year
old, it is bound to make mistakes
The Engineers offered them advice
and counseling, backed by years
o experience, to insure the sue
cess of the venture; but this was
declined by those who sought the
"glory" of having their names
plastered on the front page of
The Daily Nebraskan as the
"wheels" of College Days, the re
sult of whioh was a deficit of
several hundred dollars for the
event.
We feel that the "playing" and
social activities of the University
receive adequate publication, and
that College Days should be used
to present the educational func
tions, as this is, after all, the
prime purpose of the University.
Sincerely,
