Soviet Newspaper Links
Stevenson With Lodge
By The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The government
newspaper Izvvestia Monday criti
cized U. S. Ambassador Adlai E.
Stevenson on the eve of the open
ing of the U. N. General Assembly
in New York.
“We must note,” Izvestia said,
“that the new representative of
the United States at the United
Nations has a tendency ... to
have some features of his prede
cessor, Henry Cabot Lodge. Yet
it was this same Stevenson who
claimed the policy of the former
American government was a policy
of failure.”
The newspaper based its criti
cism on a speech by Stevenson in
New York last week warning of
the dangers of the big powers
meddling in Africa. He urged the
Soviet Union to “stay your inter
ventions.”
Until Stevenson took the U. N.
post he was regarded here with a
certain amount of favor. Lodge
was repeatedly assailed in the
strongest language by the Soviet
press. Linking Lodge with Ste
venson, therefore, represents a
measure of annoyance with the
new ambassador’s performance at
the United Nations.

A Petition
Editor,
The Battalion:
“The controversy over the film
‘Operation Abolition’ demands the
considered attention of all mem
bers of the academic community
to engage in a pursuit of truth
for the sake of truth.” With this
somewhat impractical statement a
few members of the faculty open
ed a letter to the editor of The
Battalion recently. The letter
contained no facts, the stuff of
which truth is made, but it did
contain some sources of opinion.
With these meager references to
work with one might begin a
quest for truth for the sake of
finding out what is going on in
this country.
In this letter it was stated that
religious groups were against the
House Un - American Activities
Committee. It is true that the
National Council of Churches is
against HU AC. It is also true
that the NCC is in favor of rec
ognition of Red China, world gov
ernment, and is cited in a current
Air Force Manual as controlled
by members of communist front
organizations. On Aug. 28, 1958,
The New York Times reported
that a 14 member commission of
the World Council of Churches,
parent group of the NCC, said
that, “if all out war should come,
Christians should urge a cease
fire, if necessary on the enemy’s
terms.” The National Council of
Churches is being investigated by
some of its member church
groups.
The letter stated that the “la
bor movement” is against the
committee. Now what is that all
about? Is the “labor movement”
a person? Are the workers in
America in favor of allowing com
munist infiltration into the labor
unions? Impossible! Is Harry
Bridges against HUAC ? Sure he

THE BATTALION
Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the stu
dent writers only. The Battalion is a non-tax-supported non
profit, self-supporting educational enterprise edited and op
erated by students as a community newspaper and is under
the supervision of the director of Student Publications at
Texas A&M College.
is, but he is not the labor move
ment.
The letter lists several publica
tions which have made statements
against the committee and the
film “Operation Abolition”. Each
of these publications, without ex
ception, has a long record of pam
pering communists and denounc
ing anti-communists. A promi
nent example is The New York
Times. In 1949 The Times thought
Mao Tze Tung was an “agarian
reformer”. In 1959 The Times
lauded Fidel Castro as an “agra
rian reformer”. Based on their
record it is safe to assume that
The New York Times is an “ag
rarian reform” news sheet. It is
also prudent to ignore their opin
ion on matters involving loyalty
to the U.S. Outbursts from pub
lications of this type do not cre
ate controversy, but merely con
firm the, obvious.
It is probabld that most of the
people who saw the film in ques
tion saw enough which is irre
futable with their own eyes, that
no substantial question can be
raised as to the authenticity of
the film. According to Rep. Fran
cis E. Walter the only error is a
mistake in editing which caused
Harry Bridges to appear out of
sequence. This certainly is no
justification for the pitiful acts
recorded in the film.
The letter further states: “ . . .
honest and loyal men disagree
over the desirability of the con
tinued existence of the commit
tee.? Honest and loyal by whose
pronouncement? Are those who
wish to eliminate all means of
protecting the American govern
ment from subversion honest and
loyal ?
The undersigned believe that
the freedom of one individual
ends where the freedom of other
individuals begins. Individual
freedom does not include the
right to advocate overthrow of
the legally constituted govern
ment of the United States. Con
cerning one question there should
be unanimous agreement among
all citizens of the United States.
All should agree to support the
constitution of the United States.
Individualism can exist only un
der a limited government estab
lished under a sound constitution
strictly interpreted.
There are petitions circulating
around many campuses around
the nation, which solicit signa
tures from faculty members,
which state the following:
STATEMENT AND PETITION

UNITED STATES

endorse the purposes and proce
dures of the House Un-Ameri

Why Is It?
Editor,
The Battalion:
! Why is it that these liberal
newspapers and their supporters
(well represented among the “ac
ademic community”) get much
more excited over a technicality
in the production of a film show
ing the student riot in Califor
nia than the fact of the riot it
self? The fact is that there were
Communist leaders in the group,
and that they were rioting in
and around the building where
the HCUA was investigating
Communist activities.
I suppose their reasoning is
that we citizens may be duped
by the HCUA or its supporters.
They might do well to worry
more about how many students
in this country are being duped
by the Communists and their
supporters.
I do not recall any (let alone
two dozen) professors writing
The Battalion about the threat
to our American way of life when
this riot took place.
Could it be that the real threat
to our country in not the HUAC
or even these open riots in Cal
ifornia ?

(Author of “I Was a Teen-age Dwarf"The Many
Loves of Dobie Gillis", etc.)
- I WAS A TEEN-AGE SLIDE RULE
In a recent learned journal (Mad) the distinguished board
chairman (Ralph “Hot-Lips” Sigafoos) of one of our most
important American corporations (the Arf Mechanical Dog Co.)
wrote a trenchant article in which he pinpointed our gravest
national problem: the lack of culture among science graduates.
Mr. Sigafoos’s article, it must be emphasized, was in no sense
derogatory. He stated quite clearly that the science student,
what with his gruelling curriculum in physics, math, and chem
istry, can hardly be expected to find time to study the arts
too. What Mr. Sigafoos deplores—indeed, what we all deplore
—is the lopsided result of today’s science courses: graduates
who can build a bridge but can’t compose a concerto, who know
Planck’s Constant but not Botticelli’s Venus, who are familiar
with Fraunhofer’s lines but not with Schiller’s.
Mr. Sigafoos can find no solution to this hideous imbalance.
I, however, believe there is one—and a very simple one. It is
this: if students of science don’t have time to come to the arts,
then we must let the arts come to students of science.
til itwtittethiijfolNfeJ'fort™,
For example, it would be a very easy thing to teach poetry
and music right along with physics. Students, instead of merely
being called upon to recite in physics class, would instead be
required to rhyme their answers and set them to familiar tunes
—like, for instance, The Colonel Bogey March. Thus recitations
would not only be chock-full of important facts but would, at
the same time, expose the student to the aesthetic delights of
great music. Here, try it yourself. You all know The Colonel
Bogey March. Come, sing along with me:
Physics .,
Is what we learn in class..
Einstein
Said energy is mass. "*
Newton
Is highfalutin
And Pascal’s a rascal. So’s Boyle.'
Do you see how much more broadening, how much more
I uplifting to learn physics this way? Of course you do. What?
L You want another chorus? By all means:
Leyden
He made the Leyden jar.'
Trolley
He made the Trolley car.
Curie
Bode in a surrey, ?
And Diesel’s a weasel. So’s Boyle. \
Once the student has mastered The Colonel Bogey March, he
f can go on to more complicated melodies like Death and Trans-
I figuration, the Eroica, and Love Me Tender.
And when the student, loaded with science and culture,
leaves the classroom and lights his Marlboro, how much more
he will enjoy that filter, that flavor, that pack or box! Because
; there will no longer be an unease gnawing at his soul, no longer
a little voice within him repeating that he is culturally a dolt.
He will know—know joyously—</tat he is a ftdjilled man, a
whole man, and he will bask and revel in the pleasure of his
Marlboro as a colt rolls in new grass—content, complete, truly
educated—a credit to his college, to himself, and to his tobac-

And while he is rolling, colt-wise, in the new grass, perhaps
he would stop long enough to try a new cigarette from the
makers of Marlboro—unfiltered, king-size Philip Morris
Commander. Welcome aboard! j \
