On Harvard
Network

Edward G. Cartrette of Tabor
City, North Carolina is a menl-
Der of the Harvard Radio Net
work which is celebrating its
tenth anniversary this month. He
is a graduate of the University
of Chicago Prep. School.
The Harvard Radio Network,
which operates station WHRB,
has risen in the past decade from
a tentative experiment to a posi-
ton of prominence and influence
throughout the many units of
the nations oldest, university.
A member of the Ivy Network
and the intercollegiate Broad.
casting system, WHRB began in
1889 as the pet idea of an eager
freshman, Kenneth I. Richter of
BridgeWater, Massachusetts. He
managed to interest William w.
Tying of Jamaica Plain, Massa-
chusetts, who was an editor of
the Harvard Crimson, powerful
undergraduate daily newspaper.
Tying, in turn, convinced the col
lege newspaper to back the I'M
dertaking, and the project was
launched with the name of the
Crimson Radio Network. /"
Broadcasting was variously at
tempted through steampipes. by
a wire copper conductor run a.
round the base of a rain gutter,
and at last, by the system now in
use, through the University cleo
trical system.
In 1913 WHRB broke away
from the Crimson, and by 1915 it
had paid off its debts. In 1916
a non-advertising agreement
with the Crimson was dissolved,
and the station stood on its own
feet as an independent business
organization.
The organization, entirely man
aged by it's SIS undergraduate
members, provides an uAoXcelled
method of learning the radio
business the practical way. Stu
dents handle completely the fin

writing, all co-ordinated under
the watchful eye of the ever-pres-

The stations position is solid
now. TO celebrate its tenth birth

by several Russian fighter planes.
One of them fired several ma
chine-gun bursts. Although the
B-29 was well armed and could
have retaliated, the crew pre-
ferred to avoid a fight. The
bomber gained altitude and broke
off contact with the Red fighters.
Other Incidents of Kind.
There have been other incidents
of this kind in the Pacific. such
as the buzzing Of commercial
planes en- route to Tokyo. But the
B-29 incident is the only one in
the Pacific in which the Russians
actually opened fire on a plane
so far from the Russian coast.
The Soviet Union jealousy
guards it's coast in the Baltic as
well as the Pacific. The implica-
ton is that some large-scale mill
tary preparations are being made
and the Kremlin does not want
them known. The fact that Soviet
fighter planes. however, rose un-
expectedly from a part of Siberia

sidered a barren and bleak coun-

the sale of fake television appara-

unit system vote case in wnlcn
Justice Hugo Black Joined him.
AS Justice Douglas pointed out,
and as everybody knows who
knows anything about the State
of Georgia, the votes OF citizens
in its cities do not count for full
value under the antique county
unit system which gives greatly
disproportionate weight TO rural
voters.
Dismissed Challenge.
Yet seven members of the court,
in a majority opinion, blithely dis
missed a challenge to this Sys-
tenn brought by two voters of At
lanta, saying in effect that what
went on in Georgia. as regards
elections, was none of its business,
only Georgia's business. taking
refuge in what would appear to a
simple layman to be an outworn
tradition wrapped in legal techni-
calities.

Their sensitivity to Mrs. Smith
appeared last week end when the
Women's National Press Club
built their annual show for the
President of the United States
around the problems the first
woman Vice President would en-
counter. What is this, several
asked, a build-up for Mrs. Smith?
It wasn't necessarily; it 50

Gratis do not now have q COM

neering enterprise. Mrs. Roosevelt
by her own notice is out; wisely
so, her friends feel. .
It would be ironical II the en-

Committee Frowns.
The Smith candidacy rings no
bells at the Republican National
Committee: her friends feel in
fact that she gets less than her
due from Chairman Guy Gabriel
son.
This is attributed to the con-
servative viewpoint prevailing
there. which Is viewed as militat-
ing against her both because she
is woman and because Of her
liberal voting record. The Smith
camp accepts. as do most people.
that the committee is weighted in
favor Of Senator Taft's candi-
dacy for President: it is thought
that neither he nor Mrs. Taft
would take to Mrs. Smith in Sec
ond place.
The Senator from Maine. who

is going her own way. She voted
against the wordy new Republican
statement of principles in the
Senate Policy Committee and
quietly brought out her own 10
point. 100-word party platform,
in a nationally broadcast speech.
The National Committee then
officially adopted it. She could
make three speeches a day all over
America If she had time. Some
important. wealthy women who
have national stature In their
own right. are trying to help her
grow but keep on being the nice
woman who won their first regard.
It is purely speculation whether
a "women's vote" exists and can
be modified for any candidate,
man or women. The most that
experienced women will say Is that
a qualified woman can attract
leaders of her sex whose talents
will be of great value to her, ex-
actly as important men help men
candidates to get elected.

This Changing World
u. S. Could Have Charged Russians
With Firing on Our Planes in Far East

The State Department is not
prepared to call Russia's atten-
ton to another phase of activity
by its forces. Russian submarines
recently detected just outside the
3-mile limit of American waters in
the Pacific technically did not vio-
late international law. but they
did violate good international
usage.
Pack Of "Snorkels" Sighted.
A pack Of at least two and
probably four ocean-going Russian
"snorkel" submarines definitely
was detected of the California
coast earlier this month. Whether
they came so close to American
shores that they could land Rus
sian agents-who easily could have
rowed ashore-or whether they
simply took photographs Of our
coast line cannot, Of course. be
determined.
Nor can it be said with GER
tainty whether Theodore Donay,
convicted German agent, who
hired a boat at Catalina Island
and then disappeared under
mysterious circumstances. leaving
behind a suicide note and a suit
case. was taken aboard one Of
them. But American intelligence
services knew that before Ger
many attacked Russia in 1941
the Soviet and Nazi espionage net
works were collaborating to the
fullest extent. The Russians, who
had far better contacts than the
Germans because they started
their infiltration as far back as
1927 and 1928. provided the Nazis
with the bulk Of their political
and military information.
The American intelligence serv-
ices believe that Donay, who was
sentenced as a German spy. may
have been taken back to Russia
for "re-education" purposes be-
fore being used again.
In any event. the State and De-
fense Departments have in their
files a number of cases of ethical,
though not actual. infringement
of our territorial waters and of
unwarranted attacks and menaces
against our planes by Russian
aviation.

TOuCh-It-NOt Attitude
Supreme Court Ruling on Georgia Vote
Will Have Stultifying Effect on South

Of other types elsewhere in the
South. Conversely. the Courts
hands-off, touch-it-not attitude
will have a stultifying, effect in
Georgia and throughout the
South.
Rising Dictatorship.
Immediately involved is a rising
dictatorship in Georgia under
Governor Herman Talmadge which
bodies no good for the State or
the South and gets encouragement
from this decision. Like his father,
Gene of the. red galluses, before
him, he uses the county unit sys-
tenn to maintain himself in power
and to reach out for more. as he
is busily doing now. It entrenches
him. through the rural voters of
the State, to whose prejudices he
appeals. and works against urban
areas where labor and Negroes are
more heavily concentrated and.
altogether, deters progressive and
enlightened government.
Under the system, which is op-
erative in Statewide primary elec-
tions, a candidate who carries a
county gets the unit vote of that
county. Primaries are the decisive
elections in the one-party State.
Counties are allotted two, four
and six unit votes each. accord
ing to a population category. so
that it takes the votes of many
citizens in six-unit vote Fulton
County in which Atlanta is To-
Gated. with it's 100000 population,
to equal one vote in the two-unit
vote smaller counties. This makes
it possible for a candidate to get
a majority Of county unit votes
without a majority of the popular
votes and win. as happened once
in the case of Gene Talmadge.
Georgia, it is true, is the only
State where this system still ex-
lists. But there are threats that
it may be adopted elsewhere to
prop up the Dixiecrat movement
and, beyond that. its perpetuation
under Supreme Court sanction is
helpful to other disfranchisement
devices used in the South.
