POLITICAL SITUATION:
Anderson-Imbert Discusses Spain
By ERNEST THEODOSSIN

Having spent a six-month sab-
batical leave in Spain studying the
origins of Spanish poetic prose,
Prof. Enrique Anderson-Imbert has
had an excellent opportunity to ob-
serve the Spanish people and gov-
ernment.
"There is complete censorship in
Spain," he said. "Under Franco
you can say and write only what
the government wants you to say
and write. Of course, the govern-
ment was not interested in the lit-
erature I studied so I had no trou-
ble.
Novel Banned
"But one of my writer-friends, a
Spanish novelist, had his last work
banned. The censors told him they
were saving his soul-'only you
don't realize it now.' The situation
is intolerable," he said.
During his travels, financed by
a Guggenheim fellowship, the pro-
fessor had a chance to meet many
Spaniards. "They are the warm-
est and most sympathetic people
I have ever met. But the Spanish
.government is not the Spanish
people," he added.
Commenting on the Spanish atti-
tude toward Americans, Prof. An-
derson-Imbert said, "the people
like Americans because they like
everybody. But their only knowl-
edge of Americans is what passes
through the censors..
Much Spanish Poverty
"I think that Americans do not
know the terrible poverty existing
in the country because they spend
all their time in Madrid and the
big cities. And with the American
dollar you can behave like a mil-
lionnaire," he concluded.
The professor explained that the
strong alliance between the church
and tat cuts off any I:oN for a
future democracy. "What the state
does not censor, the church does.
The Spanish people, I believe, have
not tried to revolt against all this
injustice because they remember
the bloody civil war of the thir-
ties.
"There .are liberals who are
Beardsley To Give
Talks on Far East
Prof. Richard K. Beardsley of
the anthropology department will
discuss sections of the Far East on
two television programs today.
At noon, he will discuss Soviet
Asia on the University's program
"Understanding Our World" over
station WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids.
He will discuss the work of the
University's Center for Japanese
Studies in Okayama, Japan, at 5:45
p.m. over WWJ-TV in Detroit.

Books
Students who turned in
books to the Student Book Ex-
change may pick up their
checks andunsold books from
noon to 6 p.m. Monday, Tues-
day, and Wednesday of next
week.
Distribution of checks and
books will take place in the
quonset hut near Waterman
Gym, the same building in
which the sale was held.
Refugee Result
Key to Peace
"We will not have real peace in
the world until we settle the refu-
gee problem," emphasized Wilfred
de St. Aubin in a talk on refugees
and the prospect of peace in the
Middle East sponsored by the In-
ternational Center yesterday.
"When humanitarian problems
are agitating people," the Ameri-
can Red Cross liaison officer con-
tinued, "negotiators lose their ob-
jectivity."
"Alleviation of conditions of star-
vation and stress is one successful
method by which the United Na-
tions may bring peace," St. Aubin
asserted, citing the Palestine area
as a good example of refugee re-
lief work done by the League of
Red Cross Societies and the U.N.
"What I found. in that area was
pretty sad then," he commented,
"and 300,000 are still living in refu-
gee camps. They are not in the
news today but they are a prob-
lem."
St. Aubin, who worked in the
Middle East under the late Count
Folke Bernadotte, expressed that
he is "not without hope." "I be-
lieve peace is possible; I believe it
is coming," he concluded.
Western German
Official Visits '
Hinrich Wilhelm Kopf, Minister.
President of West Germany's Low-
er Saxony, will be the guest of the
political science department today
through Tuesday.
His visit is in conjunction with
the State Department exchange of

fighting the government," he went
on, "but they are very disappoint-
ed with the United States' cooper-
ation policy towards Franco which
hinders their hopes for freedom."
Born In Argentina
A small man with an overwhelm-
ing sense of graciousness and
friendliness, Prof. Anderson-Im-
bert has a quick smile and re-
laxed attitude toward others. His
unusual surname is compounded
from the last names of his two
grandfathers, both immigrants to
Argentina, where the professor was
born and lived until seven years
ago.
Prof. Anderson-Imbert, a gradu-
ate of the University of Buenos
Aires, received his doctorate in
philosophy and literature there.
The ten books he has written in-
clude both fiction and literary crit-
icism; while another book, based
on the information uncovered dur-
ing hisrtrip abroad, will be pub-
lished soon.
"I was very glad when the Amer-
ican government let me come to
this country because I did not like
living under Peron. I am what you'
would call a political exile," he
said.
Censorship Not Bad

gentina, the professor said the cen-
sorship is "not as bad as in spain.
You can say and write what you
please there but you must take the
consequences: losing your job or
exile."
"You must realize," he said,
"that there has been a great revo-
lution in Argentina - the masses
have been stirred up, with the poor
peasants rising to better jobs. They
are so t~ankful in their childish
way for the little improvement
that they worship the dictator.
"Then there is the Spanish tra-
dition on which Latin American
civilization is founded that makes
the Argentinian people look for
leaders. This is not the same as
the American belief in democ-
racy."
About the Argentinian attitude
toward Americans, Prof. Anderson-
Imbert said, "Argentina was an
economic colony of England. She
has never had much to do with
Americaeas Peron would not want
American freedom to spread to Ar-
gentina."

So you
steer by
radar

or
gyroscope?
r deyou guided by your inner
dictates-run by your inner
gyroscope?
Or do you cast a radar-glance
neighborward to see if they
approve?
" Is your secretary's welfare-
or a pat from the boss-more
important to you than "get-
ting the job done?"
" Do you create your own pat-
tern of living? Or set your
standards bythosearoundyou?
David Riesman, a bumptious
philosophic Hawkshaw, has
been giving such questions a
lot of thought recently. His
unique pronouncements on
what's happened to the Ameri-
can character are making him
the most talked about intel-
lectual in America today-and
a best selle to boot.
This week TIME has a major
story on Riesman that you
won't want to miss. And of
course you'll find all the other
significant news developments
in this issue. "In any event,
you need TIME."
Just how
would you
define news?
For thirty years now TIME has
been defining news in its broad-
est sense-as not just the big
dramatic events that crash
down around our heads over-
night, but also the quiet devel-
opments in laboratories, in stu-
dios and in the minds of men

-events that often have a pro-
founder effect upon history
than the fight at the barricades
or the explosion in the caucus
room.
That is why names like Toyn-
bee, Schweitzer, Niebuhr are
as familiar to the readers of
TIME as names like Churchill
and Eisenhower and Mao.
That is one of the reasons
why 1,800,000 alert, intelligent
American families turn so
eagerly to TIME.

I WAS AWARDED A RIBBON
AND PROMPTLY PUT IT IN MY TYPEWRITER
First of all-how come?
How do I come to be writing a column for Philip Morris in your
campus newspaper?
I'll tell you how come:
It all began on a summer night. The air was warm, the sky was
full of stars, and I sat in a cane-bottomed chair on my verandah,
peaceful and serene, smoking a cigarette, humming the largo from
Death and Transfiguration, and worming my dog.
Into this idyllic scene came a stranger - a tall, clean limbed
stranger, crinkly-eyed and crooked-grinned, loose and lank. "How
do you do," he said. "My name is Loose Lank and I am with the
Philip Morris people."
"Enchanted," I said. "Take off your homburg and sit down." I
clapped my hands. "Charles!" I called. "Another chair for Mr. Lank."
Obediently my dog trotted away and returned directly with a
fan-back chair of Malayan rattan. He is the smartest dog in our block.
"I'm sorry I don't have a Morris chair," I said to Mr. Lank. "That
would be rather more appropriate -you being with Philip Morris
and all."
Well, sir, we had many a laugh and cheer over my little witticism.
When we had finished laughing and cheering, we wiped our eyes and
Mr. Lank pulled out a fresh package of Philip Morris. He yanked
the tape and the pack sprang open with a fetching little snap.
"Did you hear that fetching little snap?" asked Mr. Lank.
"Yes," I said, for I did.
"Cigarette?" he said.
"Thank you," I said.
We puffed contentedly for three or four hours. Then Mr. Lank
said, "I suppose you're wondering why I'm here."
"Well," I replied, my old eyes twinkling, "il wager you,didn't
come to read my meter."
Yoy can imagine how we howled at that oneT
"That's a doozy!" cried Mr. Lank, giggling wildly. 't must re-
member to tell it to Alice when I get home."
"Your wife?" I said.
"My father,"he said.
"Oh'"Isad
"Well," he said, "let's get down to businoss ... How would you like
to write a campus column for Philip Mlorris?"
"For money?" I said.
"Yes," he said.
"Myhand, sir," I said and clasped his. Warmly he returned the
pressure, and soft smiles played on our lips, and our eyes were bright
with the hint of tears, and we were silent, not trusting ourselves
to speak.
"Cigarette?" he said at length.
I nodded.
We lit up and puffed contentedly for eight or ten hours. "I under-
stand you've made quite a study of college students," said Mr. Lank.
"Yes," I said, blushing modestly. "I have been collecting them for
nears. I have over four thousand students in my basement right now."
"In mint condition?" he said incredulously.
"Students don't come in mint condition,', I explained. "They go to
great expense to acquire the 'beat-up look.'"
"How interesting," he said. "Tell me something more about them-
their feeding habits, for example."
"They are omnivores of prodigious appetite," I said. "It is wise
not to leave food about when they are present. Their favorite food
is a dish called the Varsity Gasser -one scoop raspberry ice, one
scoop raw hamburger, leechee nuts and maple syrup."
"Fascinating," said Mr. Lank. "And what are students interested
in chiefly?"
"Each other," I replied. "Boy students are interested in girl
students, and girl students are interested in boy students."
"This seems to me an admirable arrangement," said Mr. Lank.
"But is it true even in these parlous dhys of worldwide tension and
dreadful armaments?"
"It is always true," I said. "It isn't that college students don't
know what's going on in the world. They know all too well, They're
perfectly aware of the number' of lumps waiting for them ... But
meanwhile the limbs are springy and the juices run strong and
time is fleeti gyg."
"What will you write about in your column?" asked Mr. Lank.
