Catalogue Changes For '48 Announced Donald Shoemaker, editor of the Asheville Citizen, was guest speaker at the Memorial service Nov 11 in the school auditorium. Shoemaker asked the question, "What have we learned from the last war?'' and emphasized the tact that we are "under an eminent sentence of death unless we do something about the atom bomb." He pointed out that our monopoly on bomb production cannot last much longer. The United Nations is not succeeding because of jealous sovereignties, Shoemaker said. The United States should recognize the U. N., make it a federal government on the world level with or without Russia, and give it power to make and interpret laws. "War is unthinkable in Europe," he stated but there is pessimism over the U. N. in America. He compared the struggles of the United Nations plan with thc pcriod in "our history between ( 1781-89 when our constitution was j being written and no compromise could be made.
