Editorial Opinion
Blue and White Eyesore
University officials must be on a "Desecrate Our
Campus" campaign by the looks of the unsightly blue and
white signs springing up recently.
The signs are to serve as guides to visitors, but in
doing so are beginning to make Pollock Rd. look like a
modern highway—complete with signboards to hide the
beautiful "campus-side."
Physical Plant officials say there will be at least 25
of these signs of various sizes erected around campus.
Officials say the signs are being erected as a result of a
year-long study. The study showed a need for the signs,
especially in the summer.
The need for the signs is debatable since most campus
visitors, whether future students or persons attending
conventions and conferences, are provided maps to follow.
However, even if the need exists, the signs being
erected are gaudy eyesores. The signs now in place along
Pollock Rd. have lettering so large they can almcat be
road from College Ave. Also, a description of the buildings
Is hardly needed on the signs. One reads: "Psychology Lab,
Oldest Building"—an apparent half-hearted attempt to
balance the lettering on the sign.
Should the beauty of campus be sacrificed for the
convenience of visitors who can't follow maps?

Letters
Student Blasts
Anti-Semitic
'Desecration'
TO THE EDITOR: It is with a
feeling of disgust that I comment
upon the second-class type of so
called practical jokers that have
been making their appearances
in this area with the Nazi-beloved
swastika.
These acts of desecration could
only have been perpretrated by
a person or persons who hold
so little faith in the basic prin
ciples of American life that they
would have us, as a nation, be de
livered propaganda-wise into the
hands of their Russian neighbors.
Lest anyone who may be read
ing this letter think that we as a
nation are isolated in these ac
tions, let me call their attentions
to a news broadcast that I have
heard about such acts of neo-
Naziism on other campuses that
will certainly find their way into
the hands of the leaders of a na
tion no less evil than that of
Nazi leaders of ten years ago:
"Work of anti-Semitic students
who defaced properties at uni
versities in Syracuse, N.Y., and
Columbia, Mo., is under investiga
tion by local authorities."
Of course, American church
leaders speak out against these
deeds, but the actions have al
ready spoken much louder than
these words of renunciation can
ever hope to speak.
Let us, then, as individuals of
what we call university calibre,
take a stand in bitter protest of
the work of those few who, in a
weakened state of mind, have the
urge to undo years of diplomatic
work of our nation; to say nothing
of making our American Creed
look like one ridiculous farce.

HOSPITAL
Property
In Cuba
HAVANA (AP) The United States protested yester •
day against the Cuban government's seizure of American
private property as a violation of Cuban and International
law.
U.S. Ambassador Philip W. Bonsai delivered the
State Department note the
third in less than three months
to acting Foreign Minister
Marcelo Fernandez
The protest is expected to
provoke a strong reaction
from Cuban Prime Minister Fi
del Castro and his supporters.
Castro has said previously that
what happens in Cuba is a do
mesic matter not subject to
outside interference.
The U.S. Embassy did not
release the text of the note but
a press statement said it in
volved the seizure and occupa
tion of land and buildings of
U.S. citizens without court or
ders and frequently without
any writen authorization.
It noted that in many cases
no inventories were made nor
were any receipts offered for
the seized property, and no in
dication was given that pay
ment would be made.
The U.S government recog
nizes the right of foreign coun
tries to expropriate lands and
privately - owned business
abroad, provided fair restitu
tion is made. Its only course in
the present situation is to press
for quick adequate compensa
tion for American owners.
Officials in Washington have
said the Castro government
has made no payments what
ever for any American-owned
property seized so far, except
in the case of a few plantations
producing fiber used in making
twine.
White Praises
U.S. Defense
WASHINGTON (4)) The
Air chief of staff declared his
belief yesterday that the total
defense position of the United
States is many times stronger
than that of the Soviet Union.
Gen. Thomas D. White said
also in answer to questions af
ter a speech at the National
Press Club that the United
States "may now have a slight
edge in military missiles."
White was asked whether he
would rather have the total
defense posture of the Soviet
Union or the United States.
He said that a single com
mand authority over all U.S.
strategic forces, including the
Strategic Air Command and
the Navy's new Polaris mis
sile submarines, is absolutely
essential.
British Officials Claim
Eden Prevented War
LONDON (iP) British offi
cials claimed yesterday that
Sir Anthony Eden may have
prevented World War 111 six
years ago.
As told here, U. S. Navy
bombers were poised to go into
battle against Communist fight
ers in Indochina, but Eden re
fused to go along with an
American plan for intervention
in the Indochinese civil war

Seizure
Protested
Anti-Jewish
Activities
Denounced
BONN, Germany (JP)—Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer de
clared yesterday that West
Germany's anti-Semitic activi
ty must be stopped.
Adenauer spoke in West Ber
lin as his government In Bonn
received a note from Israel
expressing deep shock at the
upsurge of anti-Semitism.
In an obvious reference to
the Soviet bloc, Adenauer told
a TV hookup of all West Ger
man stations:
"One must clearly under
tsand that such incidents will
be utilized by the enemies of
Germany—and as you know,
Germany still has very many
enemies—who will say that the
Germans are the same as they
used to be."
In Hamburg, Foreign Minis
ter Heinrich von Brentano
called for the enitre German
nation to rise against the
"criminals and fools" respon
sible for the outbreak of anti-
Semitism.
Those who paint swastikas
and anti-Jewish slogans 4hould
be thrown into prisons or lock
ed up in lunatic asylums, he
told a meeting of the Hamburg
Overseas Club.
But Adenauer's political op
ponents in West Germany also
were demanding that ex-Nazis
be cleared out of the West
German government.
Supreme Court
Opposes Force
In Confessions
WASHINGTON (IP) The
Supreme Court told the states
yesterday it will not permit
criminal convictions to stand
If they result from confessions
that the court concludes are
involuntary.
By a 9-0 vote, the court
struck down the 1948 robbery
conviction in Colbert County,
Ala., of Jesse Blackburn, a
Negro. 24 at the time, received
a 20-year sentence for robbery.
Chief Justice Earl Warren,
who spoke for the court, agreed
with Blackburn's contention
that a confession introduced in
evidence against him had not
been made voluntarily
Blackburn, who had a long
history of mental illness, said
he had no recollection of mak
ing the confession. Warren said
Blackburn was questioned for
eight or nine hours, and that
most of the interrogation took
place in closely confined quar
ters with as many as three
officers being present at one
time.
