Not Bombs
By Norm Beatty
"Let the Communist stu
dents come into our univer
sities and breathe deeply of
our free air they will go back
with Ideas of freedom, justice
and equality."
This was the challenge is
sued by Supreme Court Jus
tice William 0. Douglas
Wednesday before the all Uni
versity convocation held in
the Coliseum.
Douglas told the overflow
crowd of students, faculty
members and other interested
listeners that by providing the
opportunity for the Commu
nists to see our way of life,
world security can be accom
plished.
The big problem today in
the world is how to live to
gether without ''mass sui
cide," he said.
Justice Douglas noted that
all the bombs and nuclear
w eapons in the world will not
teach the people of the world
how to live together peace
fully. Guns and dollars cannot re
place nor do the job of edu
cation when working for
peace, Justice Douglas said
after noting several instances
where the United States estab
lished air bases in foreign
countries, many of which had
an illiteracy rate of 98 per
cent. "We insist on placing our
reliance on jets and bombs,
when we should be placing it
on the principles of democ
racy," he said.
"If we have $50 million to
spend, why not spend it on
a few new schools and hospi
tals," the associate justice
said.
The United States has been
noted for a "status quo" stand
in world affairs too long, but
he explained that recent
events have shown that the
country is no longer standing
still.
Specifically he noted the
U.S. vote to give Angola its
independence and the estab
lishment of the Peace Corps
as steps in the revival of the
American heritage.
Douglas told the students
that they should take positions
as teachers and technicions in
underdeveloped countries and
t
I
'Let Communist students come into our universities . . .
'We must . . . learn to live together
"... admit Red China to the U.N.!
"see how much more exciting
life can be than living in a
split-level house next to the
country club."
"We must face reality," he
said. In so doing he advocat
ed that the U.S. admit Red
China to the United Nations.
"We can no longer pretend
that 600 million people in the
world do not exist. In cold
practicality it is our only hope
for salvation as a civilization
... as a world," Douglas
emphasized.
He predicted Communist
China to be the world's third
largest industrial nation, pos
ing an ominous threat to free
society with development of
nuclear weapons.
In a question answer ses
sion Wednesday afternoon,
Justice Douglas told Univer
sity students that although
Communists China's admis
sion to the U.N. has been long
opposed by the U.S., there are
already several other nations
in the United Nations which
the U.S. wishes were not
there.
The 22-year Supreme Court
justice is the author of sev
eral books and has traveled
extensively in the underdevel
oped world. ,

Inside View
(Continued From Pg 2)
bards' fussy, prissy friend
and by Martin Gabel as
Robards' old friend and an
ex-publisher.
With matinees performed
on Wednesdays, I saw the
delightful musical "Bye,
Bye Birdie" in the after
noon. (It concerns a rock-and-roll
singer who gets
drafted. Sound familiar?)
In the evening I saw "A
Taste of Honey," an im
port from the London
stage. Written by 19-year
old Shelagh Delaney, this
compelling play featured
an impressive perform
ance by Angela Lansbury
and a great performance
by Joan Plowright.
On Thursday, the final
evening of this theater hol
iday, I saw the much dis
cussed "All the Way
Home." Based on James
Agee's Pulitzer Prize nov
el "A Death in the Fam
ily," the play was a sus
taining interlude with
death and the cruel, al
most sadistic humor mis
takenly resulting from the
death.
By the way, the others
who also survived the jour
ney were: Joe Hill, Lesly
Smith, Zeff Bernstein,
Sharron Purbaugh, Mar
gery Coffey, Julie Wil
liams, and John Turner. If
it were not for empty bill
folds, it would be hard to
stop viewing professional
theater at its Mecca.
