VOLUME XLIX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5. 1947 NUMBER .37 WORLD HEADLINES ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. 4 Round-the-world fliers Clifford Evans and George Truman landed their tiny cub planes on snow-cov ered Elmendorf field near here at 3:45 p.m. (PST) today and were given an enthusiastic greeting by a crowd of more than 2,000 people. After the two planes had taxied down the mile-long runway, the crowd closed in around them while Lt. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, com mander of Alaska army customs, congratulated the pair on the suc cessful 1,700 mile trip up the storm ridden Aleutian island chain and the mountain-dotted Alaska penin sula. The fliers were in good health,, but appeared tired and homesick. “When we turned back to Naknek yesterday we blamed the weather,” Evans said smiling, “but that was n’t the real reason. After we took off we got a message that there was mail there for us, so we went back. We’ve only received six let ters on the trip. Tonight the entire city of An chorage will turn out in a reception for the pair with a public appear ance, a radio broadcast and a par ty fo a local night club on the pro gram.' GLASGOW, Scotland, Nov. 4 Labor candidates suffered unex pected losses today in partial re turns from Scotland’s municipal elections, similar to those in Eng land and Wales in which labor lost heavily. With approximate ly one-third of the returns in la bor candidates had suffered a net loss of 15 seats on town councils. CHICAGO, Nov. 4—Meatless Tuesdays have caused a slight de cline in meat prices and the whole food conservation program is.. "rolling along nicely,” Chairman Charles Luckman of the citizens’ food committee said today. “It is encouraging that prices for meat have dropped, even though the decline is not nearly enough,” he told a news conference. “It means that public demand has de clined as result of the voluntary meatless Tuesdays.” ST. LOUIS, Nov. 4—Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder said tonight that prosperity is here to stay “for at least five years” but unfess the rise in the cost of living is halted it will “lead to grave circumstances.” No matter what action congress takes on the president’s recom mendations at the coming special session, Snyder said, ' we can go a long way toward meeting these problems if we constantly press for increased production.” Nov. 4—A Democratic candidate leading Tuesday in the governor’s race in Kentucky, which has been under Republican rule for four years, in Mississippi Rep. John E. Rankin was taking a severe drub bing in his effort to replace the late Sen. Theodore G. Bilbo in the U. S. senate. Earle C. Clements, a Democratic representative in congress, built up a 4-to-3 lead for the Kentucky gov ernorship over Eldon Dummit, the Republican state attorney general, with one-fourth of the precinct counted. World Split Between Need, Greed—Adamic By WALLACE BERNING The world today is squarely split between the forces of need and greed, Louis Adamic said in an address in McArthur court last night. These two words are the gist of history, and all else, UNO, Marshall Plan, Truman Doctrince, and Communist Manifestor are just fuss and fury unless this fact is understood, according to the noted author. He feels that America today is ruled by a clique which has aligned itself with the forces of greed, and through propaganda has won the soul of the American people. “These American lords of ours use the press and radio which they control to Educator to Talk On Lack of Food Mrs. Woodhouse To Speak to Group Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, executive director of the women’s division of the Democratic national committee, is addressing an open meeting of the YWCA public af fairs commmittee on “Food or Famine” at 4 in Gerlinger hall to day. “As an ex-congresswoman and an educator, Mrs. Woodhouse writes and speaks authoritatively on sub jects of vital interest to women,” according to Janet Beigal, public affairs chairman. Was in Congress Mrs. Woodhouse was elected to the 79th congress by the second district of Connecticut, in which state she had also served as secre tary of state in 1941 and 1942. She has been president of the Connec ticut Federation of Democratic Women’s clubs since 1940 and for merly was chairman of the New London Democratic Town commit tee. During her term in congress, Mrs. Woodhouse was secretary of an informal congressional commit tee for the protection of the con sumer. She is vice-chairman of the national association of consumers and managing director of the in stitute of women’s professional re lations. Mrs. Woodhouse has taught eco nomics at Connecticut college, Smith college, teachers’ college of Columbia university, the University of Texas and the University of Iowa. maintain the dominance of their kind over the world masses.” Super Crisis Revolutions and similar seem ingly local incidents have been going on since history began, Ada mic said, but these crises have now culminated in a super crisis. “This should not be a surprise, however,” he said, “because each revolution was part of a pattern causing or influencing the next one till the whole mess has converged into one contest with a capital C.” Leaders like Truman, Vanden berg, Byrnes, and Baruch on the American scene and Churchill, Chiang, and De Gaulle on the inter national scene have aligned them selves with the Hearsts, the Mc Cormicks, the Dulles and the world cartels to develop a counter- revo lutionary movement to oppress peoples abroad and to gain con trol of us so that they will have'US in their power when the next de (Please turn to />age si.v) ^ —..

Film Shows Ravaging Of Europe WSSF Offers 1 'Seeds of Destiny' To Campus Tonight By HELEN SHERMAN The showing of “Seeds of Des tiny,” UNESCO’s educational film of war-wrought devastation in Europe and Asia, with the educa tional activities films at Chap man hall tonight has top billing on WSSF drive activities today, according to Chairman Marty Pond. The film will be shown at 7:30 and 9 p.m. Pond has been informed that motion picture distributors in the U.S. have not released the picture United States have not yet re leased the picture for the consumption of general theater goers because of the possibility that some of the scenes of human suffering might create a negative effect on the audience. However, results of the preview showing of the film to campus house representatives last Thurs day indicated that the general feeling was that this film should be shown to all university students. Presentation of Ben Jorgensen, former Danish underground work er who was on the campus at the first of the week; Captain Hsu Kai-yu, reserve officer in the Chi nese army; and the film are some of the educational means used by the committee for presenting the drive to the campus. A WSSF sponsored program w ill be broad casted on station KUGN tomor row at 9:15 p.m. Members of Phi Theta Upsilon and Druids, junior honoraries, are speaking at campus living organi zations during the week. Booths have been set up by Kwamas in the Co-op and the library so that those not reached in the living or ganizations can contribute at a convenient location. Marguerite Johns and Oliver Larson, fund treasurers, reported "gratifying results” for the first two days of the drive. Several liv ing organizations had chalked up 100 per cent contribution records. The treasurers emphasized that funds should be turned in at the campus branch of the YWCA, daily, between 4 and 5:15 p.m. Editor Interviews Noted Author Marshall Plan Tabbed Unworkable By BOB FRAZIER Peasant party leaders in the Eastern European states are being driven out or liquidated “as a natural reaction to the Truman doctrine and the Mar shall plan,” in the opinion of Louis Adamic, who met report ers before his McArthur court address. The nations on the Russian periphery are “taking no chances with potential fifth columnists,” and are eliminating Peasant leaders, who are, or who might become “tools of Great Britain and the U.S.” The noted author and lecturer said he felt the Marshall plan (which is “not a plan but merely a suggestion”) would not work because any help the United States sends will be “too little, too late, and to the wrong people.” The tenseness between the United States and the Soviet Union is the fault of the United States, he told reporters. “We started the ‘Cold War,’ when our president invited Mr. Church ill to make his “warlike speech” at Fulton, Mo. The Cold War was declared in the Truman Doc trine.” No war, he insisted, would do Russia any good—hot or cold. Moreover the Russian leaders are “ready for compromise,” Now, he said, it is “up to Ameri can business” to approach the Soviet Union on a friendly basis. If the United States tries to do business with them (the Rus sians), we will find we can get along, he believes. He admitted there are some “very real differences’’ (such as “semantics”) between the Americans, but insisted that Russians and the Americans, but insisted that .“propaganda and lack of information” make matters worse. This weakness is most ap parent in what the American citizen hears about the United Nations, he believes. “Ameri-, can people are just not inform ed,” and their information all comes through filtered chan nels. American reporters are working for a boss.” Marshall Tito is satisfactory to the majority of Yugoslaves, he believes. He said that 65 per cent of the people there were enthusiastic about him. This group includes “all the youth be low 30.” Another 30 per cent don’t care one way or the other, and 5 per cent are definitely op posed to him. The federal system under which Yugoslavia is now organ ized makes the old racial ani mosities unimportant, he be lieves, and cites the “willing ac ceptance’’ of Tito, a minority Croat. Yugoslavia’s position in the Russian orbit is a natural one, since the people of that country have looked east for generations to “Mother Russia.’’ The Soviet Union “exerts no pressure” on (Please turn to page three)
