Eight Months School Term Pro

$16,000,000 for Support.
With the House adopting the
report of conferees ironing out
Senate and House differences in
appropriations Thursday, and
the joint revenue committee ap
proving yesterday a three per
cent sales tax to supply the
means, prospects of state aid
for the University stand more
favorably today than any time
since appropriations measures
nave been before the general as
sembly.
After a week of work, the
conference committee received
Thursday the .House's approval
of its decisions on the biennial
appropriations bill for 1933-34.
The measure provides for ,.an
eight-months school, a $16,000,
000 provision for it, an approxi
mate $4,000,000 increase for
budget supply figures set in the
house and a $1,000,000 cut from
the Senate's figures.
Appropriations for the Great
er University remained at the
Senate's allotment of $832,240
annually, which would give the
lMersity here $426,000.

essav contest which closed

Members of the editorial and
business staffs of The Daily
Tar Heel were liberal with
their praise of "King Kong"
yesterday, which they had seen
at a special pre-view given in
their honor through the cour
tesy of E. Carrington . Smith.
Some seventy-five or more staff
members attended the show.
After a successful run yester
day, "King Kong" is offered
again today at the Carolina
theatre. Besides the fifty-foot
tall King Kong and prehistoric
reptiles, the show features Fay
Wray, Robert Armstrong, and
Bruce Cabot.
In the story a moving picture
company lands on a strange is
land to find the natives worship
ing a gigantic ape, which they
call Kong. The heroine is cap
tured by natives and offered to
the monster as a living sacrifice.
Plenty of thrills are furnished
when Kong carries off the white
girl and is pursued by sailors
with rifles and dynamite bombs.
Among other things the au
dience is entertained with fights
between Kong and reptilian
monsters.
The heroine is rescued and
the great ape is captured and
taken alive to New York. In
the midst of an exhibition in a
theatre, Kong again sees the
girl and breaks from his chains.
After breaking through the
side of the theatre and wrecking
a train, he climbs to the top of
the Empire State building with
Fay Wray in one paw. There
he is finally killed by airplanes,
after snatching several from
the air.
Aroused by a recent survey
which showed, that two-thirds of
the people of the south are with
out access to local public library
service, southern leaders in reli
gion, education, cutlure, and so
cial welfare, opening a two-day
conference today at the Univer
sity of North Carolina under, the
auspices of the American and
Southeastern Library Associa
tions, discussed plans lor pro
viding improved library facili
ties.
Although chief attention was
devoted to public library serv
ice, topics in several related
fields, such as religion, adult
education, illiteracy, and county
government, occupied a consid
erable portion of the discussion.
The meeting is considering
all these agencies in a well-
rounded community program.
More than 100 leaders in the
fields represented were in at
tendance. They came from ten
southern states.
At this time when the whole
r m m mm
economic, political, and social
fabric is being tested, the li
brary is an agency for making
the means of intelligence easily
available to all the people, the
conference was told.

"Jelly" to Play Tonight

12:00 o'clock. Freshmen will be
Admitfpd. Music will be fur
nished by "Jelly" Leftwich and
his orchestra.
Interwoven with the political
devolpments of Germany, ac
cording to K. C. Frazer of the
department of government, is
the Sino-Japanese situation ; and
cutting across the whole field of
international diplomacy and
pulling in the opposite direction
is the world-wide depression.
Speculating on the trend of
future events, Frazer said that
under present conditions he did
not think France would bring
the pressure of arms to bear on
Hitler's regime. He reported,
however, that last summer an
official in the French foreign
office told him that France
would rather see even the old
Hohenzollerns return than see
Hitler in power. The attitude of
the French, as Frazer sees it,
is one of aversion for irrespon
sible Hitlerism, and a prefer
ence for stable government,
even if it be the old regime.
English and Russian Attitude
Because of the influence of
Jews in both the English and
Russian governments, Dr. Fraz
er expects an attitude of disap
proval towards Hitler's anti-
Semitic moves from these coun
tries. Frazer pointed out that
in England the Jews are influen
tial in both the conservative and
the liberal factions, but not in
the labor party.
Aside from the Jewish aspect
of Hitler's rule, Frazer thinks
Russia would be friendly. . Eng
land, he thinks, is likely to ob
ject to any move on Germany's
part towards regaining the Pol
ish Corridor, but he does not
think she would be willing to
go to war about it.
Dr. Frazer sees the Manchur-
ian situation as influencing the
cause of disarmament in Europe.
He believes that it is the unset
tled condition in Germany and
the general suspicion of Rus
sia's propaganda campaigns
that is holding back a European
movement toward a closer rela
tion between the nations,
i In Austria Frazer sees the
most internationally minded
country of the world and little
cause for fear. Poland is "driv
en into the arms of France" by
her geographical position, that
of lying between Russia and
Germany.
Complexity of Situation
When asked to express a gen
eral feeling of optimism, pessi
mism, or indifference, as the
case may be, on the whole inter
national situation, Dr. Frazer
pointed out that such a thing
was hard to do because of the
complexity of the whole busi
ness. It is not possible in Eu
rope, as it is in such a Latin
American squabble as between
Peru and Bolivia over a boun
dary, to rest one's finger on any
one single condition. Hitlerism,
conditions in . China, the dis
armament conference, and the
future status of the Versailles

Voting Marks Close of One of
Hottest Political Battles in
Campus History.
A steady stream of student
voters flowed into Graham
Memorial yesterday and cast a
total, of .1839 ballots to elect
Harper Barnes president of the
student body and E. C. Daniel
editor of the Carolina, Magazine
for next year.
Running against Barnes for
the honor was Arlindo. Cate of
Greensboro who received 79,
votes to Barnes' 1046. Daniel
polled 972 votes to Miss Mary
Frances Parker's 862.
Surprising to all was the fact
that the total of votes yester
day approached anywhere near
the record ballot in the regular
spring elections Wednesday
when 1996 were cast. From ap
pearances it seemed that only
about fourteen or fifteen hun
dred were being polled but the
voting was considered more
gradual than in the previous
election, students going to the
poll in a steadier stream.
Both the winning candidates
picked about sixty vote margins
over , the leads they had in the
general election when they fail
ed to receive enough votes over
their opponents to be elected.
Barnes had a 253 margin over
Cate yesterday while his plur
ality Wednesday was 933 to 738

DR. E. W. McCHESNEY AND
MISS FELTHAM MARRIED
Dr. Evan W. McChesney, as
sociate professor of psychology,
and Miss Arline M. Feltham of
Chicago were married in Wash
ington, D. C, March 26. The
ceremony was. performed by
Rev. J. Harvey Dunham, pastor
of the Western Presbyterian
church.
Mrs. McChesney is a member
of the faculty of the kindergar
ten school of the University of
Chicago. She returned there to
complete the school year and
will .come to Chapel Hill in the
fall.
"Trucks undoubtedly will con
tinue to haul freight over our
highways and they should be
permitted to do so, but at pres
ent they are getting away with
murder when it comes to paying
taxes and escaping a just pro
portion of the cost of maintain
ing highways, to which they are
daily doing irreparable damage,"
W. R. Vaughan, of Henderson,
president of the Railroad Em
ployers and Taxpayers Associa
tion, declared in an address be
fore the Chapel Hill Rotary club
at its regular weekly meeting.
"For years the railroads have
been contributing largely to the
cost of government, and there is
no reason why the trucks should
not be regulated so as to con
tribute their proportionate share
of this cost," Vaughan as
serted. "At present they are
being allowed to give the rail
roads unfair competition, for the
carriers spend big sums yearly
for building and maintaining
their roadbeds while the trucks
have their roadbeds maintained
for them by the state with prac
tically no cost."
Damage to Highways
Vaughan said it was ridicu
lous to believe the testimony
of "so-called experts" to the ef
fect that the trucks are doing
