Taylor's Background Dr. Taylor, who retired last year as president of the Atlantic Coast Fisheries and who was recently ap pointed director of the Survey of Ma rine Fisheries in North Carolina, is wlel known in this state. He graduated from Trinity College, now Duke Uni versity, in 1913 and was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Science . by Duke University in 1930. Be Repaid ing to work, he was notified by OWI, that his services could not be used. It developed that a group of other faculty members, led by ' Dr. E. E. Erickson, had charged that Dr. Friederich was a pro-Nazi and to sup port their charges had submitted a published paper written by him sev eral years ago. Under these circumstances, OWI re fused to employ Dr. Friederich and he was unable to return to his Uni versity position until Nov. 1, 1945. The sum which would be appropriated by the Durham bill is the amount of pay Dr. Friederich would have re ceived from OWI if he had been em ployed by it between April 10 and; Nov. 1.
