And, if the saying is true, as goes Britain,

Bargain Basement
Gen. Mark Clark, U.S. Far Eastern commander,
has recruited the almighty American dollar for
frontline duty in Korea.
He offered $50,000 reward to every Communist
flier who delivers a Russian-built jet to the Al
lies and promised an extra bonus of $50,000 to the
first Red airman to fly to freedom.
At first glance, the general may appear to be
extremely liberal with the taxpayers' money. But
if cost of construction of a MIG-15 anywhere ap
proaches the cost of an F-86 ($870,000 according
to Air Force Magazine), Clark will be buying jets
for a lot Jess than the Reds can produce them.
It appears strange for Russia to be producing
planes for us to buyparticularly since the pay
ment will go into the pockets of a middle man, a
Red pilot.
The only problem raised by the new-found
source of military supplies is the possible unem
ployment which is apt to result in the United
States when our industries can no longer meet the
low cost of the competitor's product.
But until the American defense worker is
forced to sell apples on the street, the new pro
gram appears to be economical. In fact, it might
soon become a bargain counter for purchasing
tanks, mortars, rifleg and all the supplies of war.
All of which goes to prove that Americans can
buy their way out of anything. K.R.

academic basis."
Oxford's undergraduate newspaper Cherwell
said in an editorial, "All but insensitive fools
must question the lackadaisical attitude which the
university authorities seem to show toward the
provision of adequate psychoanalytic guidance for
undergraduates."
In other words lack of consultation between
teacher and student has become an occupational
hazard among undergraduates.
Perhaps the students at Oxford and Cambridge
are more sensitive to the lack of interest which
Perhaps no University
students have gone into mourning because the
faculty was too busy or disinterested to consult

partment lawyers with important
investigative experience assert
that it is not possible to indict
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy on the
basis of the report handed the
department last November by a
senate rules sub-committee on
privileges and elections.
This opinion, which comes from
men of character, would appear to
deprive the adminsitration of a
usefuul reserve weapon in case the
senator from Wisconsin persists in
running his own state department.
It does relieve Attorney General
Herbert Brownell of the suspicion
that he was not moving against
the senator out of deliberate -political
choice.
The score for McCarthy is
two down and one to go.
The sub-committee itself did not
recommend action when it sub
mitted the same report to the
incoming Republicans. The Repub
lican leadership has ignored the
entire matter and it is not now
possible to get from the rules
committee, whose present chair
man is sen. McCarthy's mend,
Sen. William Jenner, a copy of
the report. j
This leaves only the internal
revenue bureau to be heard from.
Since so much of the report dealt
with the senator's finances, a copy
was sent there for perusal by
the income tax sleuth.
Democrats cling to a certain
stubborn cynicism with respect
to all these matters.
They are convinced that Re
publican politicians will prevent
an administration break with Mc
Carthy so they can use his pecu

the outstanding liberal Democrats

person might be but surely a
utation of being a "radical."
In recent years it has become
increasingly unpopular to be radi
cal in thinking if not in action.
Radical has gotten the connotation
of hot headed throat cutting and
general disdain for authority and
tradition, and radicalism is dis
couraged. Yet we think that this business
of supressing radical tendencies
can be carried too far. The lead-
ins brains of the nation are at
present worried about the quiet
pessimism and fatalism of the
younger generation which includes
us. Youth is not radical, tney say
it is conservative to the point
of being frightening.
But it has always been the
question authority and tradition
if they stand under scrutiny they
are accepted and if they fail to
measure up they are suspect. But
our fear of radicalism has made
even the young afraid to question
and probe tradition.
We have been asking a lot of
questions and making many ob
servations from the vantage point
of youth. We still have a lot of
faith in tradition and authority
and we wouldn't harm either one
but it is wrong to continue to
question and learn Is that radical?
If it is we plead guilty as charged.

Cop-Robber
Comedy Is
'Thrilling'
By BOB SPEARMAN
Staff Writer
Sunday night was a good time
to see "The President's Lady."
There was a sneak preview along
with the Lady which made the
Lady worth the 65 cents.
The sneak was called "Pick Up
on South Street." This little one-hour-twenty-minute
session was
one of the best high-tension, high
ly thrilling, cop-and-robber come
dies Hollywood has produced in
many miles of celluloid.
O
Richard Widmark and RRrrr
Jean Peters starred in "Pick
Up on South Street." Oh yes,
South Street in New York, not
South Street in Lincoln.
You've heard the old adage that
there's honor among thieves?
Well, this movie illustrates the
point. The hero is a "cannon"
verbiage used by the underworld
to signify a pickpocket. Also, the
gal in the movie is a reformed
. . . well, a reformed gal. The
hero was Widmark, the girl was
Miss Peters.
Most of the movie Miss Peters
was torn between reforming Wid
mark and disentangling herself
from some Commie Spies. (I
know it sounds corny, but It was
good.) The Commies, FBI and
police were trying to track down
some film which Widmark had
lifted from his Miss Peter's purse,
thinking he was getting nothing
but money.
This was an involved movie,
but it was a good one. The script
was well-written, at least it was
well-written from this college
boy's viewpoint.
The bit parts were very deli
cately handled. The music was
good, too. The song "Again,"
popular three years ago, forms
the background music for all
the passion scenes. The song
is played throughout most of
the show.
In short, when this movie comes
around again as a feature, be sure
to see it. It is by all odds one
of the better movies that will
be released this year. The fore
going sentence, I hasten to add,
is my opinion, but so is this whole
darn column.
If you don't like the movies
I suggest, don't come running to
me for your 65 measly cents. Just

This is the story of little Prairie
Mary, a Sigma Phlegm from Rup
tured Springs, Neb. Mary had a
happy life, in her quaint Sand
Hills home and may have gone on
to be a wonderful homemaker if
she hadn't made her big mistake
in the University. It is my hope
that the sad and rather poignant
tale this story tells will cause you
to feel pity ior little Mary and
perhaps even forgive her.
Mary began her college career
a shining example of goodness.
She always went to class, never
missed a convocation and fol
lowed to the letter the rules of
the U.N.K.V.D., which was the
coed police force and governing
body. ! : v.
That is, she' was a shining ex
ample until she met Rasputin. Of
course, it could have happened
with anyone; but the fact is that
it did happen with Rasputin the
night of his fraternity's party, the
annual Alpha Cholera "Come as
you Bathe" Ball.
Little Prairie Mary insisted that
Rasputin take her home from the
dance in plenty of time to make
the curfew, and so, even before

car's headlights were none too
good, and not until too late did
Rasputin see the hole in the
street dug by some revelers.
Neither one of them was hurt, but
the car was incapable of motion
when they climbed out of the
hole.
The Sigma Phlegm house was
several blocks away however, and
but a few minutes remained until
the curfew hour. In a desaerate
attempt to save herself, little
Mary dashed toward the sorority
house, leaving Rasputin, who
smoked, running far behind. But
the fates were unkind to the poor
child that night. She arrived just
in time to see the massive iron
door slid shut and hear the sick
ening sound of the bolt slipping
into place.
O
Panic stricken, Mary racked her
brain to think of some way to get
in the house. Finally she decided
on a desperate gamble. If only
her roommate would tie some
sheets together and drop them out
the window she knew she could
find the strength somewhere to
climb to safety.
Her roommate obliged and
soon she was in the house. But
after the thrill of success had
worn off, agonising thoughts be
gan to fill Mary's mind.
Had someone seen her? Could
she trust her roommate? Would
this be the end of her college life?
She thought back on the girls she
had known who had broken the
rules.
Generally the offenders were
carried off secretly in the night
by the U.N.K.V.D., no one knew
where. She thought of Lydia,
her best friend, who had come
in one night after midnight. It
wasn't very pretty.
Lydia had had to stand before
the whole sorority while the pres
ident ripped oil her Sigma Phlegm
pin. Later poor Lydia was shot
by the U.N.K.V.D. Then there was
Lydia's roommate. She had been
a pretty girl, but she was the only
one who could prove Lydia's guilt.
She lived through questioning, of
course,, but it would have been
better if she hadn't. The
U.N.K.V.D, had a way of marking
you for Life.
No, there was no use trying to
get away with it. She was sure
she would be caught, and then . .
It was unbearable. Somehow,
someway she would beat it. But
there was only one way. ;
Slowly she walked into the tile
floored cubicle next to her room.
She tied a shoe string to the
handle and stepped into the white

sufferably stupid and vicious
"conservatives" and "radicals."
They are to be pitied because as
one said at the University last year
he has "to beat my own party
first;" then face the real opposi
tion. There are some good thinkers
who are willing to investigate the
unexplored avenues of sociology,
theology or political philosophy.
But as they proceed down the new
avenue they don't forget to look
to the sides, back and far ahead
to see where they are going. And,
seeing that the new trend is no
good they are great enough to
acknowledge it and forsake it for
a better philosophy. If they see
that what they have discovered is
good they identify it. Having
named it, they urge others to fol
low. Some liberals have called what
they have discovered by such
names as "Christianity," "Social
i s m." "Communism," "Democ
racy" and "Origin of the SDe-
cies." It is "Liberalism" only temporarily.
Now we have "Liberalism."
That is hiding behind a once cou
rageous and stimulating label be
cause you don't have the courage
or stimulus to think, say what you
think and do what you think be
cause somebody you want some
thing from might not like it. That
something you want may be a su
perficial friendship, a dollar or a
vote.
What do "liberals" get? Some
short-lived respect, mostly from
other "liberals." A short-run
dollar supply mainly because
"Liberalism" never materializes
as a philosophy in itself. A vote
supply that is bound to run out
because voters as a whole don't
understand Just what "Uberalr

One of the latest fads of the
"liberals" is ffrguing that "the na
tural resources belong to the peo
ple." If that is true, then the vast
grazing lands of northwest Ne
braska belong to the fellow in the
North Woods the same as the trees
on that property belong to ranch
ers in Nebraska.
.
The oil that a friend of mine ex
tracts from his land in Montana
belongs to the fisherman in Maine
as well as the fish of Maine waters
belong to my oil-drillintr friend.
And what's more, all this belongs
to the property-less student like
you and me.
That's present dav Liberalism in
