This must be noted in all reprints. SUNDAY, MARCH 3, 1957 NIGHT EDITOR: TAMMY MORRISON Panhellenic Bids SGC Censor Daily THE FIRST AMENDMENT to the Constitu- tion of the United States reads, in part, "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom . . . of the press." Since the inception of that document, a concept and practice of freedom of the press under which government and press are separated has become one of the basic tenets of the American political system. Today, for an attempt by any governmental body, at any level, to censor, suppress or other- wise control the press, except in certain clearly defined areas such as national defense and libel, runs distinctly against the grain. Last Thursday, however, Panhellenic As- sociation at this University made public ts contribution to Student Government Council's Evaluation Committee, recommending that SGC "approve all news articles concerning Council action that are printed in The Daily." IMMEDIATE REACTION to this proposal is difficult to guage. Whether theproduct of re- markably adolescent stupidity or of incredible ignorance is hard to determine. If the first al- ternative is true, the suggestions can be laughed off as'the harmless prattling of some would-be DAR's. The latter possibility is a little less easily disposed. Ignorance of the rudiments of demo- cratic practice, with regard to the role of the press, indicates a woeful negligence in the education of Panhellenic's representatives, sup- posedly,the model citizens of tomorrow. Panhellenic's proposal for SGC censorship of The Daily reflects rather pitifully on the representatives' comprehension of the func- tioning of the "American way of life", the pres- ervation of which Greek societies have so often, and vociferously, dedicated themselves. Panhellenic's censorship recommendation, coupled with the suggestion that space be re- servel in The Daily in which SGC members could express their personal views, would turn this paper into a combination SGC information bulletin and propaganda mouthpiece. We suggest that not only is this inconsist- ent with democracy as conceived and practiced in these United States but hardly in the best interests of Panhellenic Association. A bit of consideration by Panhellenic on this point is definitely in order. NOT EVERYWHERE in the United States is the collegiate press as free as it might be. In many universities it is little more than an arm of the administration, a journalism department,, or a closely supervised student government. At this University, thankfully, such is not the case. Any student organization recommending that this freedom of the collegiate press be cur- tailed not only lacks in common sense but has very little knowledge or concern for certain values fundamental to our society. --RICHARD HALLORAN Editorial Director WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND: Harry Declines Invitation AA Human Relations Commission? THE RESULTS of the Ann Arbor Self-Survey probably surprised a few people who are used to thinking of Ann Arbor as a model com- munity. A few others-the Negroes who have had difficulty in getting jobs, the foreign stu- dents who can't find housing-probably weren't sp surprised. The Self-Survey went about the fact-find- ing, and is also informing various community organizations about its results. If there is to be any improvement, however, it will have to come from within those or'ganizations. One of the proposals advocated during dis- cussion of the new city charter was a Human Relations Commission which would investigate all areas of human relations in Ann Arbo'r. As yet, Mayor Brown and the City Council have made no move to institute such a commission. A HUMAN RELATIONS Commission, along the lines of the University's Human Rela- tions Board, or perhaps consolidated with it, has potential for being either a very bad or a very good thing. If appointments to it were po- litical rewards, the Commission might bog down and accomplish nothing. If, on the other hand, the mayor was scru- pulously careful about making his appointees members of the community who are genuinely interested and concerned with such problems as the survey reveals, the Commission could be a vital, driving force for improvement of Ann Arbor human relations. But a Human Relations Commission, even if the City Council institutes one, would be worthless without public cooperation. It will take the organizations which backed the Self-Survey from the outset to recognize weaknesses in Ann Arbor human relations and do something about them. -TAMMY MORRISON SGC Enters Field Of Larger 'U' Problems QTUDENT GOVERNMENT Council's unani- ' mous resolution opposing a tuition increase and a decrease in the out-of-state student ratio may not seem unusual, coming as it does from members of the student body. But it represents a commendable first step into an area which the Council had previously neglected, and it may be useful to University administrators in arguing their case in Lansing. On Tuesday the state supported colleges' presidents were hard put to cite evidence of student feelings against tuition rises compar- able to taxpayer reaction to proposed increases in levies. By actively entering into the debate and expressing the student viewpoint, SGC may well contribute to the strength of the Univer- sity's case that, to quote the resolution, "the ability to attend college should depend upon academic competence and not upon economic factors." More significant, however, is the Council's new-found willingness to enter into discussion of some of the larger problems of the Univer- sity, even though their ultimate resolution may lie beyond the powers of SGC. By express- ing an informed student viewpoint on educa- tional issues-both when it agrees with and when it differs from the administration's view- point-the Council can do much to improve its effectiveness as an alert organ of student opin- ion and a contributing factor in the formulation of University policy. -PETER ECKSTEIN INSIDE reason why Harry Tru- man declined the invitation to go to Turkey and Greece was not that he was too busy, but the con- tinued cold shoulder given him by the man who succeeded him in the White House. Real fact is that Truman has been itching to go to Greece and Turkey. He is proud of the Tru- man Doctrine which saved those countries from Communism and would like nothing better thanto be present for the Doctrine's tenth anniversary. Furthermore, he had heard - prior to the November election - about Greek-Turkish plans to in- vite him, so he knew it was in the works. The invitation was postponed until after the election because of GOP fears that people would be reminded of Truman's forthright stand on Greece and Turkey. However, when Secretary Dulles finally phoned Truman to relay the invitation, their talk was warm and friendly. There was no peeve in Truman's voice. The two had a cordial conversa- tion. * * * THE EX-PRESIDENT, however, thought the Dulles call was mere- ly preparatory to getting a call from President Eisenhower. When he had invited ex-President Hoov- er to go to Europe to make a food survey, he had asked Hoover to call at the White House, and made something of a ceremony of receiving him. He felt that he owed an ex-President this cour- tesy and that Eisenhower owed him the same courtesy. That, in brief, was the chief reason Truman is not going to Greece and Turkey. Note - Ike got miffed at Tru- man during the 1952 campaign when Truman, speaking in San Francisco, called attention to Ike's y DREW PEARSON error in letting Berlin get cut cff from the rest of Germany under terms of the Potsdam Conference. Following this, Ike did not get out of his car to greet the outgo- ing President when he called to take him to the Capitol for the inaugural ceremony in 1953. He also was "too busy" to see Tru- man when the ex-President wanted to pay his respects during Ike's visit in Kansas City in 1953. OF THE 96 Senators, a total of 82 claim Protestant affiliations, 11 are Catholic, two are Jewish. In the 435-man House of Repre- sentatives, there are 325 Protes- tants, 75 Catholics, eight Jews, and one Hindu. The lone Hindu and the first in American history to serve in Congress is Judge D.S. Saund, Democrat of California. One Sen- ator and 26 representatives failed to list any religious affiliation. Among Protestant faiths, the Methodists lead the list, followed by the Baptists, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Congregationalists, and Disciples of Christ. Adlai Stevenson in defeat hasn't lost his sense of humor. It's a little drier, but just as ir- repressible. Mrs. Florence Gomulka, the New York photography artist, was talking to Stevenson. "You don't know," she said, "how hard I worked for you. I rooted for you and voted for you -twice." "I shan't trouble you again," replied Adlai, without cracking a smile. F * . EISENHOWER warned Con- gressional Republican leaders at a closed-door White House meet- ing last week that he would nev- er accept the new Democratic farm bill introduced by Congress- man Cooley of North Carolina. "Well, I can tell you right now that the farm bill approved by the House Agriculture Committee will not be acceptable," declared the President, referring to a pro- posal to increase price supports on basic commodities to approxi- mately 90 per cent of parity. "We've got to do something to alleviate the problems of corn pro- ducers, and do it right away be- fore the planting begins," Ike added, "But the committee- approved bill is loaded down with too many other things to suit me. It would be too costly." The leaders advised him that Republicans faced an uphill fight in both houses to put over a sub- stitute bill, sponsored by GOP Representative August Andresen of Minnesota, to benefit corn farmers only. It would provide an equivalent of 75 to 90 per cent of parity price supports for corn, un- der a proposed acreage allotment of 51,000,000 acres. "If we don't pass it, we'll have so much overproduction this year that corn will be running out of our ears," commented assistant GOP House Leader Charles Hal- leck of Indiana. AFTER Secretary of the Treas- ury George Humphrey's public criticism of the budget, Sen. Hu- bert Humphrey offered the Presi- dent the support of at least one Humphrey. "I respectfully suggest to the President," said the Democratic Senator from Minnesota, "that if he cannot get George Humphrey to support his budget, Hubert Humphrey will try to do so, al- though I may say that George Humphrey has closer connections with the White House than has Hubert Humphrey.

The Daily re- serves the right tohdelete material for space considerations.) No Denial Needed ... To the Editor: W ITH regard to Letters to the Editor, Feb. 28, the article "Disinterest in Democracy." Had the question been "Why Demo- 'racy?", Miss Weinstein would have had a legitimate criticism. The query "Is Democracy a Farce?" is another matter. The former questions it's pur- pose, the latter its validity. While some of this generation may not be extremely conscious of this legacy, the cost will always be a vivid part of our national debt. Most of us therefore, aware of this sacrifice, feel that the alle- gation that democracy is a farce, hardly deserves witness or the dignity of a cursory denial. -Al Harris, '60E International Affairs? To the Editor: WHILE RECOGNIZING Mr. Az- har Ali Khan's "inalienable right" to kiss, I feel, however, that his concern over the kissing ban is somewhat misplaced. Kissing, though claimed to be as old as mankind itself, was at no time an index of cooperation in interna- tional affairs-unless, of course, by International Affairs w e r e meant affairs of quite different nature. Further, what was sought to be discouraged was exhuberant kiss- ing in open public and not kissing as such. Kissing, as rn expression of spiritual love and affection, par- takes the form of a lightabrotherly touch of the lips or hands. Ex- cessive and prolific kissing is a manifestation of physical passion which far from warranting pub- lic demonstration should be re- stricted to the deectable privacy of the boy and girl relationship. It is high time that steps be tak- en to give the University its much needed air of solemn and silent dignity during late night hours and excessive public kissing b banned on the campus-as a first step beginning with the ladies' residence halls. -N. K. Daphnis '58 BOOKS: Detective Fiction UNNATURAL DEATH by Dorothy Sayers: Harpers. DOROTHY Sayers' publishers are undertaking to reprint the entire Sayers detective saga, and "Unnatural Death" is the third title to appear in this new series. This is very early, but yet quite good Sayers. Lord Peter Wimsey, of course, handles the detecting here, and if you like Lord Peter, you'll like this story of the suspicious cir- cums ta n c e s surrounding the death of old Agatha Dawson. You might test out whether you'll go for Lord Peter or not by sampling this bit of dialogue: "I told you I'd be turnin' up again before long," said Lord Peter cheerfully . . . Your little matter is well in hand, and seein' I'm not required any longer I'll make a noise like a bee and buzz off." Though the story is character- istically well put together, you may be surprised at the use of some annoyingly recurrent de- vices. But Miss Sayers must be exonerated; the novel carries a 1927 publication date. * * * JAPANESE TALES OF MYS- TERY AND IMAGINATION by Edogawa Rampo: Tuttle. THIS IS the first book of Jap- anese mystery stories to ap- pear in the English language. They have been written over the space of the last thirty-three years by a successful and much admired Japanese author whose true name is Hirai Taro. The writer uses an interesting pseudonym; try it over a couple of times and see if you don't come up with - that's right, the Fath- er of the Detective story himself, Edgar Allen Poe. Since the translations (by James B. Harris) were done in very close collaboration with the author, one may suppose that full justice has been done to the ori- ginal texts, and that the stories may be judged on their apparent merits. The ten tales that com- pose the volume don't offer much that's new or surprising.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst ISRAEL, under extreme pressure from the United States and taking it on faith that her interests will be protected by the "om- munity of nations, has finally bowed to the will of the United Nations. Her troops will all go back to positions they occupied before the invasion of Egypt last fall. As Abraham Lincoln said, wars are fought, and then the nations start trying to settle the issues over which they fought. The Israelis are assuming that the United Nations will now protect her Gaza borders from Arab raids and assure passage of her ships through the Gulf of Aqaba.

THE QUESTION now is whether the Assem- bly can force Egypt to accept a regular occupation of part of her territory no matter how temporary it may be called. Egypt has little to stand on with regard to the Gaza Strip. Like some of the Palestine territory occupied by Israel, it was occupied during the 1948 war and has no legal standing as Egyptian territory. In the Aqaba area, however, Egyptian terri- tory is involved, although it has been used for violation of international usage, in that guns have interdicted Israel's use of the strait. The United States, which has recently moved naval units into the Red Sea, appears to be committed now to strong support of free use of the strait by all shipping. She is working hand-in-glove with other leading UN members to apply individual and collective pressure on Egypt not to interfere either with the factual situation or with UN decisions. Israel was forced to withdraw without condi- tion, so far as the public statement is con- cerned, but the conditions exist just the same.

During this month numerous awards will be made to stars of stage, screen, ra- dio and television. Most of them will become so emotionally upset over receiving their various and sundry awards that they will not be able to express their thanks in words. Before the coaxial cable was completed the major awards given in March were limited to Oscars of the Academy of Motion Pic- ture Arts and Sciences. At that time the only p :pular means of public communication was the ra- dio, and so millions of Americans listened to the presentations and heard their favorite stars say such gems as "I'm too happy to say anything." Television has made a tremen- dous two-fold contribution to Na- +innal Aa-,A 1InI+h Tn the irst original title for such an organi- zation. This group will present their awards in a few weeks. * * * IN KEEPING with National Awards Month, this space will be devoted for two weeks to television awards. Next week the second an- nual Michigan Daily Television Awards will be announced. (These awards, sans gold statuettes, can be picked up by the stars at their convenience at the Student Pub- lications Building.) Because of time limitations the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences have cut down the num- ber of categories and nominees for their Emmy Awards. This unfair- ly eliminates many worthy recipi- ents. These stars should not go awardless, and so it is at this time that we with great pride publicly announce the lucky re- cipients of the second annual Michigan Daily Television Awards For Stars Who Were Not Nomin- ated or Programs or Stars Which W NrcNoi ~ Ptoa ii 'h Thir swered because of the lack of ade- quate schools.
