Referring of course to the "Music

Peace Demonstration
Declaring that he believed the re-

honest desire of , youtn tor peace
against war," Dr. E. J. Woodhouse,
University political science professor,
explained and defined his views on the
current war at the last regular meet
ing of the Town Boys association held
last night in the lounge room of the
YMCA.
"I believe a false impression has
been given in the Daily Tar Heel and
other state papers," he stated fur
ther. The protest he termed to be "ill
expressed" and "ill advised."
The peace movement, he declared
came during the wrong time to stress
peace. "I feel very strongly that we
are hiding our heads in the sand and
living in a fools' paradise when we
believe that this war will not affect
us," he said. The political science pro
fessor said that we should do every
thing within our power to aid the Al
lies if we don't want to be dominated

Dawson Admits Severe Rebuke
By Council For Cross-Boraiit
Lee Wiggins
Says Dawson
Made Threat
Recent Peace Drive Secretary Lee
Wiggins declared last night he was
not frightened by a threat that "some
thing might happen to him" if he
brought charges against anti-peace
drive leaders. Wiggins said the state
ment was made by Joe Dawson.
Asserting that this coercive attempt
helped to bring about a written state
ment to the Student council, Wiggins
said Dawson was "a representative
of the same group of vandals who took
the law in their hands last Thurs
day."
Wiggins warned that any such at
tempt would be "the most serious mis
take they could commit."
He termed Dr. Stewart's state
ment in yesterday's Daily Tar Heel
"a garbled an dhighly emotional mis
representation of the meeting," and
suggested that the minister give some
committee member an opportunity to
answer charges in the Presbyterian
pulpit this next Sunday. j
The local minister, Wiggins said,
incited the audience and approved the
egg-throwing. "This is in accordance
with a tradition which is certainly
the opposite of . Christianity," Wig
gins added.
' The peace leader pointed out that
Dr. Stewart's charges of a Communist-inspired'
meeting were ref uted by
the fact that the daily worker, of
ficial Communist organ, held opinions
"fundamentally antithetical" to those
offered by speakers at the rally last
Thursday.
"The peace committee," said Wig
gins, "represents no one group or
point of view." He said all speakers
represented various viewpoints and
were entitled to the right of free
speech without interruption.

stalled Bob Sloan as its speaker for
the coming year in a brief ceremony,
Other officers inducted were Jimmy
Pittman, speaker pro-tern; Susan
Klaber, reading clerk; Charles Tucker,
sergeant-at-arms; and Art Clark,
secretary-treasurer.
Immediately after his induction
Speaker Sloan took the floor and
moved a rising vote of thanks for re
tiring Speaker Miss Marian Igo, for
her "excellent work during the past
quarter."
Miss Igo spoke to the assembly,
praising the members for their work
of the preceding quarter and asking
them to "carry on the work of the Phi
as it has been done in the past."
Two bills were discussed before the
induction ceremony was held. The first
bill, "Resolved, that swing music be
abolished," had little support and was
defeated by a vote of 19-5.
"Resolved, that dance figures be
abolished at Carolina dances," drew a
heated debate, and was carried 17-7.

' Reprimand for Cross Incident Only;
Other Evidence Declared Irrelevant
By John E. Lindsay
Joe Dawson, University senior who participated in opposition to
the recent campus peace drive, revealed in a statement to the
Daily Tar Heel last night that the Student Council had "severely
reprimanded" him on a charge of destroying crosses set up by the
peace committee.
Dave Morrison, student body president, was contacted yesterday
afternoon and declared the council could not divulge information

No Specific School
In Address Monday
Governor Hpey, speaking at Peace
College commencement Monday night,
said that he had "nothing put pity,
mingled . with contempt" for certain
college students who had resolved not
to bear arms.
Later asked whether he was refer
ring to the recent peace demonstra-
' tion at the University he replied that
he was speaking of no college in par
ticular but of the spirit of "pacifism."
Without calling the institution's
name he said, "I have nothing but
pity, mingled with contempt for the
students of one of our colleges whoScertain people hidden behind civil lib

recently and said they

Northern Colleges
"I read of one or two Northern
colleges where some of the students,
not all of them, passed a resolution
that they wouldn't fight under any
conditions," he said. "I don't think
they passed such a " resolution at
Chapel Hill."
"We must realize that while paci
fism is a very good thing, it won't
make much headway with dictators.
Superior force and unmatched equip
ment is the only language they care
for," he continued.
The Governor, in addition to lam
basting college pacifists, made other
statements regarding his opinions on
world affairs:
"This is not the time for divided
loyalties . . . there are many among
us who care not for our heritage of
liberty, justice, and freedom, although
they have lived among us and enjoyed
them. I do not believe in doing away
with free speech, but I believe we
should make it so uncomfortable for
them that they should go to another
place and clime more to their liking.

Belgian Army
Allies Fight To
President Appoints
Defense Committee
(By United Press)
LONDON, May 29 (Wednesday)
An encircled army of 400,000 British
and French troops deserted by their
Belgian allies on the blood-drenched
fields of Flanders battled today to
break a tight Nazi grip of strangula
tion and abandon the war on Belgian
soil.
The government said in a broadcast
last night the British and French are
doing their utmost to escape from the
fatal pocket after the Belgians threw
down their arms and King Leopold III
surrendered his nation to Adolf Hit
ler. Belgium tonight became the sixth
nation to fall to the Nazi blitzkrieg
blows in less than nine months fol
lowing Poland, Norway, Luxembourg,
Denmark, and Holland, British Minis
ter of Information Alfred Duff Cooper ;
told the British public already reeling
from the shock of Leopold ni's deci
sion of the disastrous state of affairs.
The British were confident but they
were prepared to hear of tragic losses
even if the army succeeds in blasting
its way out. Prime Minister Churchill
yesterday told them to brace them
selves for hard and heavy tidings.
PARKS The refugee Belgian gov
ernment today disowned King Leopold
(Continued on page 4, column 2)
admitted the "severe"
rebuke, saying
he was charged with destroying pri
vate property which the peace pub
licity committee had erected with ad
ministration permission.
Action by the council was narrowed
down to the actual uprooting of the
crosses.. Dawson said he attempted to
back up his condemnation of the peace
movement with material exemplifying
his views on the methods of the peace
leaders. This information, he said,
was disregarded by the council as
"irrelevant."
Dawson said the council did not ask
him to apologize.
"The crosses in front of the Confed
erate monument were personally re
pugnant to me as propaganda instru
ments for a cause that I neither re
garded as sincere or as timely in view
of the nation's position in internation
al affairs," Dawson said, explaining
his action in taking the white crosses
down.
The anti-peace drive participant as
serted it was "interesting to him that
1 ,.; A x -j . v i,a
ci lies aim uicu w ouuvcak nit-ais jiiii-
ciples in every possible manner."
Dawson bluntly denied any part in
the egg-throwing episode in Memo-
rial hall last. Thursday. "Nor have I
threatened violence on the person of
Lee Wiggins," he added.
Dawson charged that members of
the peace committee had requested
Wiggins to exclude certain "incen
diary" parts of the peace committee
program. Wiggins' refusal to do this,
according to Dawson, "accomplished
nothing towards his purpose, but suc
ceeded in arousing the campus emo
tionally." "Among the leaders . . . were stu
dents who have misrepresented them
selves before as being of the majority
opinion when they were of the minor
ity opinion of the campus," . Dawson
concluded. He added he believed the
actions of "such groups of the ASU"
are giving the University "a bad
name with people in the state."
