FutiIity of War
Carleton r. Ball

Lowell Mellett's May IL column was
heartening to all thoughtful Americans
I believe this is the first time in years I
nave read anything by Mr.. MeIlett that
could lndorSe unequivocally. He seems
to be against either small war or a big
war, since, as he proves rather clearly to
any rational mind, there is no such thing
as victory" in war.
But. If may be permitted to inject a
slightly less praiseworthy note, might 7
ask where Mr.. Mellett was in 1941. And
the men and women he quoted? Take
Walter Lippmann. In 1941 he thought
that war could solve something. Or
Dorothy Thompson. She was all in favor
OF World War II. Just couldn't wait for
us to get into it and win it uncondi-
tionally. And so was Grove Patterson,
David L. Cohn-and, now that I have
brought it up, none other than Mr..
Mellett.
If may be forgiven for quoting some
thing that I wrote in 1941-for the
Memphis Commercial Appeal, in response
to a reporters desire to get some
thoughts from typical Americans Il was
secretary of the Corinth, Miss, Associa-
ton of Commerce at the time), let's see
where stood.
Hitler will die. as will Stain, Musso-
lini Matsuoka, Churchill and FDR i.
and when they are dead, the world still
will be filled with hatreds with revolu-
tions, with misdeeds. AS we prepare for
war, whether rightly or wrongly, why not
at the same time prepare to make our
selves stronger in love toward other men,

signed to restore democratic order. Further, the
generals and colonels have promised to step out
OF the picture after new elections are held in
keeping with reforms presumably aimed at stop
ping comeback by Paz Estenssoro. This is en-
couraging as far as 1t goes. The fact remains,
however, that Bolivia-even though enlightened
men may govern it now-will continue to be
vulnerable to political tension and upheaval as
long as, the bulk of its people remain illiterate,
extremely poor and bereft of any real opportu-
nifty to better themselves.

CANADIAN FISHERMEN USE
BIBLICAL METHODS

PORT ROWAN, Ont Up -
Fishing methods of Biblical times
are repeated on the shores of Lake
Erie's L9ng Point Bay near here
by fishermen who cast their nets
into the shallow water and draw
them into shore.
One end of their long nets is
anchored close to shore, and the
other pulled through a long semi
circle by men wading or in boots.
The fishermen begin their season
when the ice leaves the bay, and
end only when it freezes over.

Tv OWNERS BUY LESS
CLOTHES SAYS RESEARcHE

LOS ANGELES -tRl- Tele-
vision may have brought families
closer together, but it has also
reduced the family income spent
on clothing, according to Norma
N. Shenk, home economist at the
University of California
Miss Skenk claims that pay
ments on TV sets, together with
increased food and housing costs,
reduce savings of middle income
groups for clothing.
THE silver lining to the prob
lem,' she says, is that people
don't need as many new clothes
when they stay at home watching
video."
Miss Shenk explains that small
boys from six to II years Of age,
usually need pair of new shoes
about every two months, but with
TV keeping the youngsters in
doors, shoe requirements have
dropped.

PARTIES AND DIGESTION PLAY
BIG ROLES In PARLEY TENSION
5y Harvey Hudson

PAR1S,-Rl-- Can bad digeS-
ito help cause a Russian Ameri-
can disagreement?
Do international conferences
get more done if they work Sc
cluded from press and public?
Is it better to hold meetings
away from big cities?
Investigators have turned up
cases where the answer to each is
yes.
The researchers were working
on the causes of tensions at in
ternational meetings. The whole
question has mushroomed since
the war. The United Nations
educational, scientific and cultural
organization (UNESCO) has TAX
en- the lead in studying the multi
sided question. So far the research
is still in the preliminary stage.
The first reports indicate that
too many, or too few, cocktail
parties may have an effect on a
conference. Too many parties i'm
duce lassitude. Too few may keep
the delegates from getting to
know one another.
The language barrier represents
one of the biggest obstacles to
quick progress. AT one United Ma
tones meeting, a Russian delegate
made a reference to a bull in a
China shop"
The Chinese delegate caught
the English translation just in
time to hear the word China and
was on his feet asking why his
nation was being drawn into the
question. The Russian delegate
denied he had mentioned China.
1t took ten minutes to go back
through the speech and transla-
ton to get it cleared up.
Translations are q major prob
lem. Sometimes the consecutive
method is used. After a speech is
given in one language, transla-
tors take the floor and recite the
speech in the other working lang
uages. A one-hour speech in a
meeting with four working Ian
guages might take up as much as
four hours.
The other method is simultan-
eous translation. This means that
while the speaker is talking, the
translators for the various langu-
ages recite it into microphones at
the same time. The audience has
'earphones adjusted to each langu-
age.
Which method is better? The
simultaneous system, if equipment
is available, speeds the work But
it gives the following speakers
little, time to prepare their re-
plies. Each system has its expon-
ents.
These are some of the prob
len1s involved. UNESCO has made
a pilot study trying to isolate the
questions that need to be an
swered and the best way of get
ting the answers. Now it is try
ing to interest some large univer-
sites or private research founda-
tions to carry on the job.
Physicians, psychologists, psy
chiatrists, political scientists and
veterans of conjornce secretariats
might all have different views or
the main problems.

Loyalty Oath Scropped for Good

John Francis Neylan-leader of

the special oath for future years
as well as the current one.
It's approval was greeted with
this statement from the faculty's
committee on academic freedom
and signed by Ewald Grether, dean
of the School of Business Admin
istration:
"The committee on academic
freedom is confident that it speaks
for the entire faculty in express
ing its profound qualification with
today'S action"
The oath was scrapped on the
ground that since it was adopted
a State law has been passed re-
quiring all State employees to swear

By the Associated Press

BERKELEY. Calf, Nov. IT.
The University of California has
scrapped its loyalty oath" for
professors and employees, subject
Iof a dispute that has rocked the
institution for two years.
The Board of Regents voted,
IL to 5. yesterday against reviv-
ing the issue of whether all work.
ers on the university's eight cam
puses should be required to state
in writing they are not members
of the Communist Party.
That made final the action of
its October meeting-to eliminate
the oath requirement.
Yesterdays vote was taken at
the end of a discussion that was
quiet in comparison to some of
the bitter wrangling at regents
meetings since the oath was
adopted in March, 1949.
Seven regents were absent, in
cluding San Francisco Attorney
