What Next?
First came loyalty investigations. Then came
lists of "Communists' in this country. Then came
loyalty oaths. Then lists of "subversive" literature
and books were published. Then certain speakers
were barred. Now, we can be "guilty by associa
tion" and guilty until proved innocent. What will
be next?
A move which may be interpreted as a step
toward devitaliilng our democratic foundations
waa taken by the United States Supreme court
last week by upholding; a New Itfork "anti-subversive"
teacher law designed to "rid the state's
schools of subversive teachers." Known as the
Feinberf law, the legislation directs the state
Board of Ref ents to draw up a list of subversive
organisations, membership in any of which is
grounds for dismissal unless a teacher can prove
loyalty.
As college youths, we often are called idealistic
and impractical, but when the Supreme Court of
the United States will uphold a law which actually
gives the burden of proof to the accused the ac
cused who, under this law, is assumed guilty until
proved jnnocent we feel justified in protesting.
The three dissenters om the bill, Justices Wil
liam O. Douglas, Felix Frankfurter and Hugo L.
Black expressed, in the dissent, that the Feinberg
law follows a principle repugnant to our society
"guilt by association" and would turn the school
system into a "spying project."
"The principals become detectives; the stu
dents, the parents, the community become in
formers," Douglas said. "Ears are cocked for tell
tale signs of disloyalty. The prejudices of the
community come into play in searching out the
disloyal."
The law, according to the Justice Frankfurter,
touches the depest interests of a democratic so
cietyits rights to self-preservation balanced
against a democracy's obligation to permit ample
scope for the individual's freedom, especially the
Your Guess
teacher's freedom of thought and expression.
It should be admitted that the state's authority
to make sure teachers are fit to maintain the in
tegrity of the school "cannot be doubted," as Jus
tice Sherman Minton in his majority opinion ob
served. Certainly we want competent teachers to
help shape the attitudes of youths. But is this a
sound criterion? Should a teacher be considered
competent only if his beliefs concur with the Re
gents? This act supports the premise that all we
need to do in this country to fight subversion
is put a law on the statutes which premise cer
tainly is false. No Communist or pro-Communist
would hestitate to have his actions meet the re
quirements of the Feinberg bill. In addition, the
act will not adversely affect the real advocates
of force and violence, but rather it will affect
the "liberal" mind, the actions of any instructors
possessing a "liberal 'mind.
Unfortunately, just as in case of the McCarran
act, the trend of f)ur times will support the Fein
berg law and without much opposition. Apparently,
the only recourse is a return to reason and when
that is found, pressure for repeal.

Hallelujah!
Returns from the first

show that Sen. Estes Kefau-
ver won all 12 of the dele
gates to the Democratic Na
tional Convention. Why the
halleluiah? Well, it seems to
me that of all the potential C,
nominees for president, in-i j
eluding Eisenhower, Kefau
ver is the best fitted to holdle
the position.
All this is my own personal
opinion of course. It am just a
little bit leery of Eisenhower as
a president. I'm a little inclined

Just Stay Away
One paradox of our times is how a congress
man should vote on a gigantic military budget
when he has promised the folks back home to cut
taxes. If he opposes the military, he will be ac
cused of endangering society. If he favors the bud
get, he is likely to be defeated in the next election
for not reducing taxes.
One solution The Nebraskan has noticed is
Sen. Hugh Butler's tactic. Just miss the session
when there's a roll call vote. Then you can't be
accused of anything anything concerning the vote,
that is. J.K.
Where Is The Battleground?
When. Sen. Pat McCarran, author of the con
troversial Internal Security act, opposed further
aid to Europe, he used the following reasoning to
back up his stand: "The multi-billion dollar Mar
shall plan already has raised European economies
'far ahead of pre-war' levels."
What you forget sir, is that the Communist
countries would not be content with such a level
in Russia or in satelites. They would be very
content, however, to see western Europe remain
stationary in economic progress while they break
records achieving higher levels.
The soft spot in the Nevada senator's reasoning
is that while he is determined to stop Communist
influence in this country, he apparently wants to
wait until they get to this hemisphere to counter
act them. However, we increase our own safety, by
strengthening our allies across the Atlantic J.K.
Eisenhower would be like voting
for a pig in a poke. That's a little
strong but it figures. Eisenhower,
as a general, holds the esteem of
most everyone. But his abilities
as a politician and even more as a
president are, to a large degree,
untested.
I heard General Eisenhower
give the commencement address
to the AROTC graduating class
at Lowry AFB in 1950. The gen
eral, then president of Columbia
University, seemed a little older
than I thought he would be. But
he is a man of tremendous en
ergy and force. This is very
noticeable in his speech when he
becom . very impatient when he
can't get just the word he
wants. Frankly, I was very im
pressed by the general's speech
and his intelligence. At that
time, I believe, 1 would have
voted for Eisenhower over anyone.

Cairo's Back To 'Normal'
For the past 75 years, Illinois has had a law
against segregation in public schools, but the city
of Cairo (pop. 12,400) has never paid much at
tention to it. To all, it is a southern town sitting
well below the Mason-Dixon line at the point
where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers meet. Its
4,000 Negroes and 8,000 whites live carefully segre
gated lives.
Negroes do not go to the theaters where first
class films are shown. They do not eat in the
white restaurants, or use the public library; and
while the whites swim in the WPA-built pool,
the colored folks must "drown in the river."
But two weeks ago Cairo's Utopia of segregated
life had been rudely shattered, for fiery crosses
burned and the magnolia-lip ed streets echoed with
explosions. The cause: two field workers from the
midwest regional office of the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Colored People had
moved into town to stop segregation in the schools
once and for alL Dozens of Negro parents had ap
plied to have their children transferred to schools
used by the whites.
The school superintendent saw no alternative
but to send the applications through. Other "citi
sens," however, did see an alternative. By night
fall a ten-foot cross was seen on top of a Mis
sissippi levee near a Negro housing project. With
in hours, two other crosses dotted the town.
The "citizens" did no stop with the crosses.
A band of hoodlums shot away at the homes of two
Negro dentists and bombs were tossed into the
homes of several others.
And then finally to put an end to it all, city
police came to the rescue. However, who they
rescued is debatable. Eight members of the
NAACP were arrested and charged with "con
spiracy to do illegal acts" and with "forcing
(children) by threats and inducements to enter
school." They also arrested two Negro mothers
who wanted their children transferred to white
schools.
Thus, within several days, the guilty parties
were punished and apparently things in Cairo were
back to "normal'' again.
And the Illinois town is not the only place
where this is going on. If you are thinking that at
least Lincoln may claim a clean slate, we suggest
you talk to the colored singer who told The Ne
braskan that, "It certainly is a peculiar feeling to
have someone compliment me after an concert and
tell me that I should go far, and then the follow
ing day have the same person refuse to let me eat
in his restaurant," or talk to some of the girls liv
ing in the dorms who don't have to decide where
to eat Sunday evenings for they know the limited
number of places.
The story of Cairo will be on the Communist
propaganda weapons which will be true. And it
should make quite a few people feel ashamed
when they tell foreigners that America has liber
ty for ALL. S.G.
George Washington was a military
man. But so was Andrew Jack
son and U. S. Grant In these
times with all the pressure from
the military anyway it seems ad
visable to install a civilian as
head of our government. Of
course, in these times of reserves
and what not, it is hard to tell
for sure who is a military man
and who isn't.

Taft, as far as I'm concerned,
is strictly out. I used to have a
lot of respect for Senator Taft,
who still is one of the most in
telligent men in politics today.
But anymore, I don't know. It
looks to me like Truman has led
Taft around by the nose until
Taft now has policy of his own,
but is "agin" anything and
everything that Truman is for.
They say that Taft is sort of
obsessed by the fact that Tru
man has never invited him to
the White House. Perhaps this
is what has clouded; something
has, that's for sure. i

Margin Notes-
The Nebraskan is hearty and free with praise
for fraternities employing Help Weeks. How
ever, it should be remembered that a Help Week
should replace a Hell Week, not supplement it.
In other words, The Nebraskan believes a
fraternity defeats the very purpose of Help Week
by holding a Hell Week also. Simply by adding
something good, one cannot eliminate the evils
of another activity.

One of the highlights in musical events this

simultaneously on four different instruments and
who have a reputed perfect fusion, will present a

Mayor Victor Anderson has announced that

In Other Shoes
Preparations for NUCWA's annual spring con
ferencea model United Nations General Assem
blyare progressing rapidly. Besides discussing
two new issues, proposals for abolition or limita
tion of the veto power and the powers of the Gen
eral Assembley, conference delegates this year will j
have a model Secretariat. Charles Gomon, sopho
more majoring in political science, will serve as
secretary-general. He is also in charge of the en
tire conference.
This project offers a splendid opportunity
each year for college students to learn about the
United Nations, its problems and its possibilities
in a down-to-earth, practical way. Besides be
coming familiar with the functioning of this or
ganization, participating students seem to have
quite an enjoyable time assuming roles of foreign
countries, trying to act as that country would in
each situation.
There are few better ways to promote world
understanding than putting yourself in the shoes
of the other man. The model General Assembly
should contribute a great deal toward this old, but
vital goal of world brotherhood, as should the pre
paratory sessions now held each Thursday evening.
