PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY. MARCH 29. THE KANSAN COMMENTS Dies-Winchell Feud Blazes Furiously The feud between Texas' Representative Martin Dies and Columnist Walter Winchell blazed Sunday night when Dies, chairman of the Committee on Un-American Activities, followed Winchell's broadcast over a national hook-up. The verbal battle, which has been raging for some time, was intensified recently when Dies announced to the House of Representatives that he had succeeded in suppressing the publication of Michael Sayers' and Albert Kahn's best-seller "Sabotage." In the course of the speech, Dies said that a great deal of the material in the book was lifted verbatim from the Committee's report on Japanese and Nazi activities without due credit given, and that the Committee demanded the publication be ceased when the publishers upheld the author's refusal to insert the credit Dies demanded. Dies Plans Investigation The Congressman intimated that he is planning an investigation that will smear Winchell, whose radio scripts he has subpoenaed. In answer to Dies' statements Winchell charged that Dies had had the book suppressed, because it was an expose on the Congressman's failure to execute his duties as chairman of the Committee on Un-American Activities. Sunday night Winchell reaffirmed every statement he had made about the Congressman, invited the Committee to investigate him, and asked Dies to go to court or waive congressional immunity so he could take the case to court. Dies maintained that he meant to expose that faction, of which Winchell is a member, which, by vituperative innuendo, plots to destroy the characters of public men who get in the way of the group's objectives. He cited figures to show that the Committee has made some investigations. Fight Amounts to Smear Campaign Undoubtedly, each man has a case. Perhaps Dies has been lax in his duties at times, as evidenced by PM's charge that he "lifted" material from newspapers and magazines and presented it as his own. It seems strange, also, that Dies should have suppressed a book which has been endorsed by such organizations as the nation's press, the Council of Books in Wartime, and the Cardinal Hayes Foundation. On the other hand, Winchell is famous for his love of fighting, and his repeated attacks on Dies indicate he means to make the Congressman his victim. Almost all the charges the men have made, however, are by inference or innuendo. To the American public, the petty bickering amounts to nothing but the smearing of two public figures which can lead to little more than an endless chain of abusive remarks. Rev. J. A. Gregg Visits Theaters of War A tour of all the war fronts where negro troops are stationed has taken the Rev. J. A. Gregg, a graduate of the University, over 58,000 miles by air and several thousand more by train. The Rev. Mr. Gregg has just completed his trip taking cheer to the overseas theaters of war. Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal African Methodist church, he made the tour as a representative of the Fraternal Council of Negro churches. The Council is an organization of 40,000 churches with a membership of over 6,000,000. Folks speak of a person as being smart as a steel trap because a steel trap knows when to shut up. Rock Chalk Talk I'm going back! Virginia Kline took all the members of her Theta pledge class (they're juniors now) out to Miller, Kan., for the weekend. Although Miller's population is negligible, everyone came back with the earmarks of a rip-snorting good time. Virginia McGill, to be specific, had her head in a sling and a cast on her ankle. By MARY MORRILL During the course of the two days, the girls went to another town (smaller even than Miller) to skate. At the same skating party a grimy 9-year-old with sagging stockings approached Lila Jean Doughman. Woggie (Stewart) Jones drew the first blood. As she whisked around the rink with a sailor who had bashfully asked her to be his partner, Thetas on the sidelines shouted, "Mrs. Jones, Mr. Jones wouldn't like that." The sailor became more and more nervous, finally excusing himself altogether. Sylvia Small, D.G., plans her entire day by the ouija board — Marie Larson, Watkins hall, has confessed to men in her marketing class that she was married at the age of 13—Luther Buchele, Co-op stripper and president of YM, is distressed with the way people are remembering his carnival name, "Tobacco Rhoda." "Please, mam." the child asked pointing at Woggle, "are that lady's fingernails real?" Supreme Court Rules Against Forcible Draft In Billings Case Later the girls walked into the store for drinks. "Gosh, look at them clothes," gasped a wide-eyed young native to his playmate. - * * Betty Leibbrand, junior in the School of Business; and Herbert Peterson, second year law student, were appointed justices of the student court by the All-Student Council in last night's meeting; and Clarence Engle was elected secretary of the ASC. Arthur Billings, University graduate in 1933, won a decision from the Supreme Court. Monday that a selective service registrant cannot be forcibly induced into the army against his will, although if he refuses to submit to induction, he violates the selective service act. Before being drafted into the army, Mr. Billings was professor of economics at the University of Texas. A former Lawrence boy, he was a member of the Unitarian church here and had been elected to Phi Beta Kappa as a University student. Jeanne Hollis, College junior; Robert Campbell, College freshman; and Evelyn Mercer, College sophomore, took the oath of office as representatives on the Council. *** This decision reversed previous rulings by the Tenth Circuit Court and Federal District Court for Kansas that Mr. Billings was inducted into the army after the army oath, which he had refused to take, had been read to him. Although Mr. Billings had notified his draft board in Ottawa County, Kansas, before induction that he refused to serve in the army, he had been classified 1-A, denied reclassification as a conscientious objector, had reported to Ft. Leavenworth for physical examination, and had been classified 1-B limited service. Since his refusal to take the induction oath and the question as to his status in August, 1942, Billings has been in the post guard house at the Leavenworth induction station. An amendment to the WEC book exchange bill was passed making possible the appropriation of $100 from the book exchange profits for a scholarship fund. If it had not been for the protection offered by other A.O.Pi's, Patty Sloan would have been the first woman to appear on the campus with a crew cut. Early this week, Gerry (All or Nothing at All) Gentry tried to give Patty a baby bob. ASC Names Justices To Student Court Former Grad Writes Of Her Orientation To Island Life After only a few weeks in the Hawaiian islands teaching in a nursery school, Helen Sanderson, who received her bachelor of arts degree from the University in 1935, appears to be thoroughly oriented to island life. Miss Sanderson has written to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Sanderson of Lawrence, telling of the afternoons which she spends in the USO headquarters serving as hostess and the afternoons she works for the Red Cross at Scofield hospital at Honolulu in addition to her regular work in her school. Miss Sanderson, with another young woman, has charge of a nursery school on a large sugar plantation at Waiialua on Oahu island. The school is operated for children of native workers of many nationalities; and all the students are under six years of age. Japanese, Japanese-Portuguese, Filipinos and even a mixture of Chinese and Japanese blood is found in her young students, writes Miss Sanderson. Miss Sanderson and her friends with whom she keeps the nursery live in a cottage on the beach where they do most of their cooking in an outdoor kitchen. Miss Sanderson speaks of the men with whom she talks in the hospitals being particularly grateful to the Red Cross. They speak bitterly about strikes, she writes. Robert Bock, sports editor of the Daily Kansan during the first semester of the college year, is stationed now with the Army Air Corps at Sheppard Field, Wichita Falls, Texas. Miss Sanderson majored in English at the University. Before going to Hawaii she taught in Stillwater, Okla. He is in a group commanded by Lt. Maurice Barker, who was graduated from the University last year. Lt. Barker was a major in journalism and at one time was editor-in-chief of the Daily Kansan.
