Stanley Mall Returns From
Action In European: Theatre
By Roy Thompson
Captain Stanley E. Hall of Ports
mouth; Virginia, who left the Uni
versity in 1940 to join the Army Air
Forces, was back in Chapel Hill for
a few days this - week with one of
the most interesting stories yet to
' come out of the war in Europe.
Captain Hall got his first baptism
of fire during the invasion of North
Africa. He flew 48 missions in the
African campaign without . mishap
and was given a furlough . in the
States before, being reassigned to the
Eighth Air Force in England. Flying
twelve more missions, as navigator
his luck held, but on the thirteenth
it ran out.
."It was , a special 'mission-on No
vember,2,l944'' he said, ','and a dan
gerous one. Our plane,- a . Fortress,
v was assigned the task of destroying
a group of oil tanks.' The crew was
probably the oldest and most experi
enced crew to fly a mission in the
European Theatre. Our pilot, Lt. Col.
Michaelson, was the- most decorated
man in the Eighth.- We were flying
at about 29,000 feet when ; the flak
started. I got a piece in the shoulder
when the plane was hit. We went
into a spin, :and. the, pilot gave orders
tp bail out. Two of the crewmen and
I ; were floating down at . about 8,000
feet when we saw . the ship right
itself and sail away towards England.
"We. were on the . ground almost
immediately, and a group of German
civilians were waiting for" us. . Re
membering stories I had heard about
the ; way some of our boys had .been
treated by them,' I . started shaking
hands with .all of them with my good
hand We : were well-treated, but
others , who landed near there at
about the same time were stoned and
clubbed to death- Later we were
turned over to the Wermacht and
kept in prison camps in Balaria and
Moosberg until bur liberation by the
Third Army some six months later.
Like : most of the men held by the
Wehrmacht we were treated pretty
weir and were fed as well as they
could feed us. Men who were tortured
and starved were usually prisoners Of
the Gestapo and SS troops." With Red
Cross boxes supplementing our. German1-
rations we managed , to - eat
pretty well."
After his liberation, Captain Hall
stayed ' in England for a time, long
enough, in fact, to become engaged
and get as far the church door on
the road to matrimony. Upon enter
ing the church, however, his fiancee
fanited. When she was revived they
talked the whole thing over and de
cided 'to" call- it off. 1 "
Wearing "the Distinguished Flying
Cross, the Purple Heart, the Air
Medal, and twelve oak leaf clusters,
he. got back to the States about the
end. of June and was given a sixty
day furlough after which he will re
port "in Miami, Florida. He will prob
ably be given a choice between dis
charge and new flying duty. At pres
ent he hasn't decided just what he
will do, but after spending three days
back in Chapel Hill he says that he
soon as he leaves the service. He ex
.pects to complete work on a journal
ism degree within about six months
after he returns to the University.
Commenting on - changes around
improvement that he had found was
in the coeds. He admitted that his
Chapel , Hill he said that the biggest
opinion might be a little biased after
his internment of six months, but he
was sure that there were "more of
them and that . they were much' pret
tier than those of his first years here.
Captain Hill caught a bus out of
Chapel . Hill about noon Friday, but
before he left he was observed writ
ing a check rather hesitantly. He ex
plained that since he was shot down
on his thirteenth . mission over Ger
many he was just a little afraid to
write' a check on Friday the thirteenth.
He finally filled in the date as July
14, 1945 and left Chapel Hill wishing
that he icould have found a few more
of the people that he had known
back in the good old days.

Professor S. E. Leavitt.
The summer term began on July '9
and ends August 31. - The doctors have
three classes in the morning, the first
being grammar, the second, conversa
tion, and the third practical examina
' tions in English. . -
If the doctors speak English well by
the end of the course, they usually re
ceive a scholarship to the medical
school which they are to attend.
There . are many Latin-Americans
who wish to attend the Institute but
can not because there is not enough
room for them.

al broadcasts, and by more children's
concerts.
One of the ultimate ends of the or
chestra is to become "one of the best
in the country,'' pointed out Mr. Swa
lin. He went on to emphasize the
great- amount of musical talent that
exists right in the state, and which is
one of North Carolina's greatest re
sources. ' '
Great interest and interest from un
expected sources is being shown in the
present orchestra campaign, continued
Mr. Swalin, reflecting an "eagerness
for good things" on the part of the
people of North Carolina. He men
tioned various towns in the state which
have already exceeded their quotas in
regard to the campaign. i
Memberships
Concerning the procedure of the or
chestra, Mr. Swalin pointed out the
various types of memberships- that
may be purchased in the symphony so
ciety: $1 memberships, which grant a
ticket to the concert in the locality;
$5 active memberships, granting tick
ets to concerts in any part of the
state, if they are sponsored by the
North Carolina Symphony Society;
$25 memberships, for donors ; and
$100 memberships for patrons
Director Swalin

orchestra since its reorganization in
1939, came to the University of North

He taught musfc at a Conservatory

tute of Musical Art for seven years.
He graduated from Columbia Uni

two years later receiving a M.A. from
that college with a major in English
literature. Two years later he re
ceived a Ph.D. degree from the Uni
versity of Vienna and musical diplomas
from the State Academy ki Vienna.
He lived in Europe until 1933, and
since that time has visited Europe
twice.
; "I am encouraged by the progress of
music in our state," says Mr. Swalin.
"I am grateful to - music lovers
throughout North Carolina for their
s-upport of the State symphany."
This Symphony orchestra, since
1943, has presented 24 concerts, in
Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Greenville, Duke
University, Durham,' Winston-Salem,
