THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Thursday, March 27, 1952
On Oct 22, 1951, Joe McCarthy, the Senator
from Wisconsin whose name is now part of our
language, received quite a blast in four pages o(
Time magazine. Time magazine asked: 1. Pre
cisely what has McCarthy done? 2. Is his effect
on the United States good or bad? and 3. Does
he deserve well of the republic, or should he be
f treated with aversion and contempt?
The conclusion of the news-editorial article on
what Time termed "Demagogue" McCarthy, sum
med up with:
"1. His antics foul up the necessary examination
of the past mistakes of the Truman-Acheson for
eign policy.
"2. His constant imputation of treason distracts
attention from 'the fact that patriotic men can
make calamitous mistakes for which they should
be held politically accountable.
"3. There are never any circumstances which
Justify the reckless imputation of treason or other
moral guilt to individuals in or out of office.
. "4. McCarthy's success in smearing Tydines
and others generates fear of the consequences of
dissent. This fear is exaggerated by the 'liberals'
who welcome McCarthyism as an issue; but the
fear exists and it is poison in a democracy."
In the March 24 issue of Time magazine, Mc
Carthy received quite gentle treatment from the
Time writers. "Gentleman" Joe was one of the
questioners of Newbold Morris, President Truman's
clean-up man, about a Chinese tanker scandal. The
tanker investigation does not, however, seem to
be the main point of the charges against Morris.
He has requested subpoena powers from Congress
In order to facilitate his Job to clean corruption
out of the administration.
Morris couldn't keep his temper during the in
vestigation and finally let loose with "It (Mc
Carthy' questioning) is very similar to what they
did to Cardinal Mindszenty, what the Hungarian
Communists did. Gradually, you can wear a
witness down. That is what you call mental bru
tality." Time magazine, In the news report of the in
vestigation, called this little speech of Morris, "the
depths of public self-pity." Time said Morris' at-,
titude during the investigation was one of "anger,
lelf-pity, exaggerated politeness and flippancy."
liven to the casual reader of Time magazine, a
definite change in policy has taken place. Time
has dropped its "Demagogue-McCarthy" attitude
and seems to have sided with Joe in flushing out
the Communists in the state department and other
administrative agencies. Whether or not Newbold
Morris is guilty of any connection with the tanker
scandal, Time magazine and Joe McCarthy are both
guilty of the basest motives in their various stands
on "McCarthyism" and "anti-McCarthyism."
McCarthy reportedly contacted some of Time's
pro-McCarthy advertisers and asked them to

Demagogue Or Public Servant
withdraw their financial and commercial sup
port of Time. Evidently the heads of Time policy
got scared by the McCarthy tactics and, in suc
ceeding issues since the "Demagogue-McCarthy"
publication, have quickly jumped to the other
side of the fence.
Although his ultimate goals are hidden in his
attacks and counter-attacks, his shifting positions,
his evasive statements, his contradictory remarks
and his failure to do any actual good in flushing
Communists from our government, McCarthy has
committed what appears to be the final unpardon
able sin. He has begun to put pressure on the
economic forces without which a free press is a
farce and unattainable.
Joe McCarthy wanted Time magazine on his
bandwagon and so he reverted to the, one great
financial factor, advertising, which moves men
and mountains. It must have been an impressive
"business-office-must" which came out of the
Time's editor's offices on the day they decided
to yiay ball with one who knows no rules nor
ethics.
Time magazine is on McCarthy's side now. The ;
American reader is beginning to have less and less I
tivities of the loud-mouth Senator from. Wiscon
sin. It takes a little closer reading to find out the
"demagogue" now. That time and effort will be
well spent by those who are interested in finding
out just how far and how low Senator Joe Mc
Carthy has gone. E.B.
In Taft's Absence
The day-to-day political activities on this cam
pus which have been going at a rapid pace will
be centered today around Rep. Howard Buffett and
Gen. Albert Wedemeyer. They will be presenting
views of Sen. Robert Taft, candidate for the Re
publican presidential nomination, at 8 p.m. in the
Union ballroom.
The favorable part of the appearance by Con
gressman Buffett and General Wedemeyer is that
University students will have a chance to find
out about the stands of one of the strongest bid
ders for the GOP presidential nomination.
Taft supporters in Nebraska have been en
couraging a write-in vote in the primary Tuesday
for the Ohio Senator. Before voters consider writing-in
Senator Taft's name, it is only fair to have
the opportunity to find out first hand about the
Ohio senator's attitude toward national issues.
Since Senator Taft is unable to appear in
person, it is at least gratifying to know tnat
Buffett and General Wedemeyer will appear on
campus in his absence. Students would profit a
great deal by this discussion for we can not dis
miss lightly the possibility that Senator Taft
may be the GOP nomination for president of the
country. J.K.

Although Donner has been active in young
Republican work in Antelope county, he has
never held a political office.
He advocates sound efficiency in all branches
of government with emphasis on economy. He has
stated that he is against all tax laws which are not
absolutely essential to the "general improvement
thinks. Decker and Marshall of the conditions of our state."
Kushner have created quite a
stir on the pages of local pa
pers with their comments on
the issue. I agree with Decker
in every respect.
Have you noticed how hard it
is to hear any music or anything
other than political speeches on
the radio. It's kind of interesting
to observe the stands taken by
the various politicos. They all
say about the same thing but
each one tries to say it just a
little more patrioticly than the
other. They are all against taxes
(aren't we all), increased spend

understanding of tin-patronage,
I guess.

Letter ip
The Communist Bullet
Almost everyone is aware now that the United litical organization" to chew isn't it?
States is on the brink of war with Russia and her The LYL has also said:
sister, Communism. One of the most effective wea- "Every day that we students, supposedly the
pons used against us in this cold war is the deadly best informed, the leader material of our country,
Communist bullet propaganda.
Being able to distinguish between the Red's
printed weapon and factual material is a feat
everyone should possess. It may be slightly ex
cusable for those who have not had the opportuni
ties of higher learning to accept propaganda as
factual, but when college students peddle it in the
campus newspapers of one of the greatest uni
versities the staff must not possess the ability to
make the distinction.
In an article appearing recently in the Daily
Californian, student newspaper at the University
of California, a reporter wrote a story of a cam
pus meeting at which a collection of juvenile
minds expressed opposition to the California
Committee on Un-American Activities.
No one became alarmed about the meeting until
the story appeared in the campus publication. The
meeting, sponsored by the Labor Youth league,
was described by the reporter as an "off-campus
political group."
The "off-campus political group," the LYL, is a
Communist controlled organization that publishes a
mimeographed handout devoted to a type of propa
ganda that sends one back to the dictionary for
another look at the definition of the word treason.
The league distributes its propaganda on the uni
versity campuses. In a recent handout it had this
tcsay:
"The U.S. press had led many Americans to
regard the war in Korea as a war to preserve
democracy. Carefully concealed is the deliberate
U.S. policy to methodically exterminate the Ko
rean people." .
American troops fighting in Korea are accused
of committing atrocities and using such weapons
as poison gas. In fact, the LYL says that in Korea
old people as well as children were tortured,
burned and buried alive by U.S. soldiers on orders
from U.S. officers."
That's quite a big hunk for an "off-campus po-
remain silent in cot voicing our desire for a return
to peace and decency, we continue to share the
collective guilt of our nation."
Maybe some LYL members ought to share a
few more things our "our nation" such as the bat
tleground or a foxhole in Korea. Things other than
the freedom and liberty offered freely to them by
the country they are attempting to destroy.
The Daily Nebraskan, as all other college
newspapers, has been plagued with Communist
propaganda. Before going into the wastebasket
this literature has at least served a purpose: to
provide a few laughs from "our comrades across
the seas" and a continual reminder that the Com
munist goal is to infiltrate American minds with
their blasphemy a goal which must be recog
nized and squelched. S.G.
Many Hours For One
It is unfortunate that some University instruc
tors have the attitude that THEIR CLASS is the
only class requiring outside work. Following this
trend of thought, others seem to have forgotten the
policy that two hours of work is generally agreed
to be the maximum requirement for one credit
hour.
The women's physical education department
has stated it follows this theory when it requires
three hours of class attendance for every credit
hour. Therefore, no outside assignments should
be made in phys ed classes.
However, coeds taking modern dance are re
quired to read one book concerning a famous
dancer and make a written or oral report on the
book at the end of the semester. In addition, they
are required to make-up original dances on their
own time to be presented to the class. Certainly
this Is requiring much more work than any ordin
ary one, hour course. If instructors wish to assign
extra work without students getting credit, it
would only be fair to reduce the number of hours
required for class attendance. S.A.
'Buck-Passers'
Dear Editor:
If what Pat Wall said in her
letter March 25 is true, University
students are bigger passers-of
the-buck than politicians seeking
reelection. Anyone who indicts
the University of weakening his
faith is simply afraid to face the
truth. Aren't such students simply
trying to ease their consciences by
blaming their ownweaKnesses on
the University and college nrer
Is it not true that University
students have as strong a faith
as other young men and women
of comparable age not attending
college? nd Is it not true that
we all pass through a stage us
usally at college .ge, when we
are impressed by light and friv
olous living and lose some of
our earlier faith? And, more
over, is it not true that nearly
all of us regain that faith when
we are forced to take on adult
responsibilities?
You. Miss Wall, have based
your assumption on the testimony
of two, and possible more, stu
dents who are obviously passing
the buck. Those who let the In
fluence of a minority of students
called "Coed Betty's" and "Col
lege Joe's" could not have wnai
you define as a strong faith before
their entrance into the University.
And does the student who ac
cused the University or University I
life of weakening his laiih realize
the extent c' the religious facili
ties on the campus? Does he real
ize that there are probably more
facilities-here to provide him with
a strong faith than there are in
his home town? And, does he real
ize that the student pastors, when
half a chance, will probably
make a greater effort to help him
than his home town minister.'
What more could be injected into
University life to insure the faith
of students?
I don't know how other stu
dents have been affected by Uni
versity life, but I do know that
through the influence of classes,
outside reading and new friends,
I have gained a much stronger
faith in the few months I have
been here. Maybe I am one of a
minority. However, I have good
reason to believe otherwise.
Sincerely,
DICK RALSTON
He did not receive the endorsement of the
pre-prlmary convention.
'Familiar' Swanson
Few primary elections during the last 20 years
have failed to see the candidacy of the handlebar
mustache of Andrew E. Swanson, retired Polk
farmer and stockman.
Making it a practice of running for publlo
office nearly every two years, Swanson has now
set his eye on the Republican nomination for
governor.
Although an officer in farm organizations,
Swanson has never been successful in any of his
candidacies. He has run for county treasurer in
Boone and Polk counties, the state legislature, lieu
tenant governor, governor and congressman.
His latest bid was last fall when he was an un
successful candidate for the unexpired term of
congressman 'from the third district.
In 1950, after announcing that he would con
test Gov. Val Peterson's bid for re-election, he
attempted to withdraw from the election and
run as a Democratic candidate for governor. Told
this was illegal, he then entered the race for
lieutenant governor in the August primary. He
was defeated by Charles J. Warner, 82,323 to 32.
351. Swanson failed to be endorsed by the Repub
lican pre-primary convention this year.
Running for the Republican nomination for
governor has almost become a habit with Dr. Ar
thur B. Walker of Lincoln.
April 1 will be his fourth straight attempt to
secure the gubernatorial nomination. He unsuc
cessfully opposed Val Peterson in 1946, 1948 and
1950.
Walker, 71, has endorsed Hugh Butler and
Dwirht Griswold for senator and Robert Taft for
, president.
His platform consists of seven main points:
1. Higher old age pensions and old atfinsurance
2. Increased qualifications and salaries for
teachers
3. More flood control and electric power
4. Re-enactment of the bicameral legislature In
Nebraska
5. Increased industry and farm products fac
tories 6. Re-enactment of the Slocum law with sharper
teeth or prohibition
7. End to manslaughter and murder of pedes
trians and automobile drivers.
Walker was appointed county physician in
1908 and 1909. He was elected to the post of
county coroner in 1909 and in 1914 and 1915 was

superintendent of schools. He ran for the railway
commission in 1934 as a Republican.
