To Analyse
Leftist Aims
Possible dangers in the United
States' turning its back to the
socialist countries will be dis
cussed . Tuesday night when his
torian Art h u r Schlesinger Jr.
speaks on the topic, "Can We
Wo r k with Socialism to Beat
Communism?'
Schlesinger; third Community
Forum speaker, will explain, the
differences between socialism and
communism, the record of social
ism in Europe since the, war,
and the two streams of thought
that flowed from Karl Marx—one
toward the police state and the
other toward a belief in consti
tutional processes.
The third ticket in the season
book will be taken at the door
of Schwab Auditorium:' Single

at the age of 33, the author of
"The Vital Center," "The Age of
JacksOn," and "Orestes A. Bron
son: A Pilgrim's Progress." He is
currently at work on "The Age of
Roosevelt."
New York Herald Tribune' re
viewers cal I e d Schlesinger "a
man with a clear-cut philosophy
of history which he expounds
with great force and sustains
with a wealth of illustration."
Allan Nevins of the New - York
Times said his books were "full
of vitality, rich in insights and
new facts, and casting a broad
shaft of illumination."
Now associate professor of his
tory at Harvard, Schlesinger was
graduated sum m a cum laude
from there in 1938 .and spent the
next year at Cambridge, England,
on an inter-university fellowship.

ceived and discussed.

are being made and will be sent
to those persons inquiring about
it. Requests should be addressed
to the Legislative Reference Bur

Ist Mate Aids
Stricken Ship's
Lonely Captain
LONDON, Jan. 4—(AP)—The
first mate , of the British rescue
tug Turmoil boarded the broken
freighter Flying Enterprise today
to help her lonely captain make
fast a towline. But fog, rain
squalls, and :isir_r winds once
again delayed the operation.
The mate, Kenneth Roger Dan
cy, 27, climbed over the taffrail
of the wallowing ship in heavy
seas.
He was' the first man to be seen
aboard by Cant. Kurt Carlsen
since tin captain ordered his
crew of 40 and 10 passengers to
abandon the hull-cracked ship in
a hurricane seven days ago.
-Capt. Carlsen was following
a t:adition of the sea. He was still
in good spirits despite five vain
attempts by the Turmoil to
throw him a line during the day.
The tugboat-skipper, Capt. Dan
Parker, said he is "confident I can
get a tow rigged if we get a break
in the weather" now' that there
are two men ' instead of one
aboard the stricken ship.
Radio messages from the tug
and the U.S. Destroyer John W.
Weeks—standing by to give aid—
said. the ship had dropped a little
more to her side from a 60-degree
list and seas were breaking over
the exposed main deck and deck
house. But she still was buoyant
and possibly can be towed to Fal
mouth Harboer, 300 miles to the
East.
