Briton Will Discuss
Atom Disarmament
Sir Stephen King-Hall, advocate of British unilateral
nuclear disarmament will be the guest speaker at a Uni
versity Christian Association sponsored dinner meeting at

King-Hall will speak on "DefenSe in the Nuclear Age,"

Fisher Contributes

Mrs. Pauline Fisher, supervisor
of administrative records in the
Office of the President of the Uni
versity, has co n tributed two
poems to the current volume of
"Mutiny," a publication of the
Mutiny Press, New York, N.Y.
The poems are "Watercolor"
and "Driftwood."
Mrs. Fisher is a member of the
Poetry Workshop, which is super

guys and pretend they never
committed their crimes."
I say, fines Let's bury the
hatchet. But let's not pretend
the war crimes were never
committed. No amount of
pussyfooting is going to erase
the number of people who died
in gas chambers, furnaces and
filthy concentration camps.
The philosophy I would like
to see behind war stories is
that one in Luigi Zampa's "To
Live in Peace." Made in 1946,
the film suggested that all men
—even Nazis—could live to
gether in friendship if they fol
lowed their instincts rather
than their ideologies.
This is a philosophy, with
which anyone may agree or
disagree. But it is certainly not
a flagrant misrepresentation of
facts.
According to the author, pas,
sive resistance is the only realistic
means of defense presently avail
able. Maintaining that his position
is not that of a pacifist, but that
of an objective examiner of the
practical military, political and
ideological problems involved,
King-Hall's viewpoint is the sub
ject of much present controversy
in Britain. J. B. Priestley says of
the novel, "Although I don't agree
with everything in it, I hope it
sells a million copies."
After Sir Stephen's speech, fac
ulty panel members of different
viewpoints will question his pro
posals. Panel members are: Dr.
Vernon Aspaturian, assistant pro
fessor of political science; Captain
J. P. Roach, professor of naval
science; Dr. James J. Fritz, asso
ciate professor of chemistry; Dr.
Rustum Roy, professor of geo
chemistry.
The public may attend the post
!dinner lecture and discusison be
ginning at 7:15 p.m.
