Free Publicity Not Our Aim
Collegian habitually has been badgered by
persons who want published various notices of
special meetings, dinners, or other events which
have very little broad appeal.
We refer especially to fraternities and soror
ities. Many times a fraternity will hold some
special even'. or achieve some distinction which
they feel they would like to see in The Daily
Collegian—feeling justifiably proud.
In the past, more often than not, they have
been turned down in their search for public
recognition through this newspaper. This has
made these folk unhappy.
However. there has been a purpose in this
past policy of The Daily Collegian.
For instance, a fraternity may hold a special
dinner with University dignitaries as guests.
This is the I:ind of thing they want mentioned in
the newspaper. Another example which has oc
curred in the past is a fraternity or sorority en
tertaining nationally-known stars who are visit
ing the campus. These things also usually find
their way to the Collegian office.
The bad feature of the entire picture is the
fact that in the past there have been one or two
instances a year when the Collegian has, for one
reason or another, printed news which con

Oliver Says Red China
To Cope With Internal
By DAVE FINEMAN
Dr. Robert T. Oliver, pro
fessor of speech and an ex
pert on the Far East, said
yesterday that "the recent
unusual and strenuous ef
forts in the foreign rela
tions of Red China are prompt
ed because of the country's in
ability to cope with desperate
internal problems."
•
In an interview he said the
fact that Red China is trying
to put the nationalist govern
ment of Taiwan out of exis
tence shows that its presence
attracts the loyalty of Chinese
on the mainland.
This the regime has been try
ing to do ever since 1547. Find
ing that they couldn't do it by
force, they have now even of
fered Chiang Kai-shek a high
position in the , Peoples' Repub
lic it he would bring Taiwan
under Red rule.
Secondly. he said, there is a
steady flow of refugees from
Red China, especially to the
free city of Hong Kong, at the
rate of 15,000 a month.
Also. a new purge in which
they have executed over three

million persons in the past
year points to the political in
stability of the regime.
Dr. Oliver said that the main
reason for Red China's troubles
is the "regime's inability to
cope with the highly individ
ualistic Chinese peasants."
The peasants, he said, resent
the things they are forced to
do. They are compelled to at
tend discussion meetings, reg
ister with the Communist par
ty, place their children in Red
youth leagues, march in par
ades and join study groups.
Instead of willfully partici
pating in these activities, Dr.
Oliver said. the peasants rebel
against them.
Even the so-called land re
form of the regime has worked
against the government, Dr.
Oliver said. Before, when land
lords owned the land and sub
jugated the peasants, at least
there was a personal, almost
paternal contact between ten
ant and owner. But there is no
such relationship with the gov
ernment, so the peasants re
sent state control even more.
As for the city dweller, Dr.
Oliver said, they are often dis
satisfied, too, since in order to
get jobs they must be able to

ing along.
When other groups see news of one individual
group in the paper they naturally feel that any
one of the groups can get similar publicity—
should the occasion arise. Then comes the rub—
Collegian turns them down and they think
favoritism is being shown.
We would like to deny fervently any talk of
this sort. The unfortunate cases in the past
which have come out in print have been cases
where poor judgment has been exercised. They
have been, usually, cases where the person mak
ing the judgment has felt that the story has
had extraordinary news value.
However. it is hard to tell one fraternity that
their story has little news value when you have
just told another that theirs is acceptable.
We plan to end all complications on the mat
ter by announcing that we will no longer accept
any news stories which feature one fraternity
or on sorority.
We hope this will end all ill feeling which
may exist between fraternities and sororities
about individual publicity.

allegiance to the regime.
Even propaganda has not
been as successful as it is com
monly thought to be, he said.
"Certainly the people can be
convinced, in the absence of
other information, that the cap
italistic West is contrary to
their interests.
"But no amount of propa
ganda," •Dr. Oliver said, "can
deny internal evils that the
people can see with their own
eyes."
"The case of Hungary," he
said, "shows well that com
munist propaganda is not as
effective as it is commonly
thought to be."
Dr. Oliver's contact with the
Far East has been chiefly in
his capacity as adviser to the
South Korean delegation in the

He is intimate with Presi

Government in Washington.

Interpreting the News
Labor Probe Gets
Tighter Control
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (W) Tighter
control of unions at the top is one
result of Senate investigations in
to labor union racketeering and
the efforts of the AFL-CIO lead
ership to stamp it out.
This means less autonomy for
national and local unions. But
they asked for it by failing to do
their own house-cleaning better.
Union welfare plans—covering
pensions and other benefits—be
gan to spring up during the war.
They really blossomed after John
L. Lewis won a welfare plan for
his miners in 1946.
Welfare Prey fo Crooks
Now the billions of dollars in
welfare plans are a fertile field
for crooks.
This year the Executive Coun
cil of the AFL-CIO, which is
made up of 140 unions, adopted
and laid down for its member
unions three codes of good con
duct recommended by its own
special Ethical Practices Commit
tee.
President George Meany said
the national unions will be ex
pected to enforce th e codes
among their various local unions
or face expulsion. The three codes
go like this:
1. Safeguarding union funds—
This bars union officals from re
ceiving extra fees and salaries
from welfare funds, - requires the
ouster of officials for accepting
fees or bribes and calls for regu
lar audits and public accounting
of union members' trust funds.

2. Personal interests—This bars
a union official from having a
personal financial interest in
firms with which his union has
labor contracts. But it permits a
union official to have business in
vestments so long as there is no
opportunity for them to conflict
with his union responsibilities.
Keep Out Thugs
3. Racketeers and crooks—This
tells unions to keep out known
crooks and racketeers as a "mat
ter of common sense."
This month the AFL-CIO Ex
ecutive Council ordered three of
its unions—the laundry, distillery
and Allied Industrial Workers—
to clean out "corrupt influences"
or face expulsion.
This action was based on dis
closures by a Senate committee in
1955 and the recommendations of
the AFL-CIO Ethical Practices
Committee which accused the
three unions, with 170,000 mem
bers, of looting welfare funds of
millions of dollars.
