Minister To Sweden, University Alumnus, Is Visitor On Campus Herschel Johnson, class of '16 and present United States minister to Sweden, returned to Chapel Hill last Saturday as the guest of Chancellor R. B. House, a former classmate. He was accompanied by Josephus Daniels. J ohnson, who has teen in the diplo matic service since World War I, oc cupied a ringside seat for World War II as he guided the precarious relation ships between this nation and neutral Sweden. In an interview with Jane Hall, reporter for the Raleigh News and Observer, he said that Swedish sympathies were definitely with the Allies although she was forced to trade with Germany. In 1930-34 Johnson served as chief of the Mexican Affairs Division of the State Department. He went to Sweden in 1941 from his post as minister of the American embassy in London. At the present time he is in this country reporting to the State Department and spending a leave. Chapel Hill is said to be a place for which Johnson feels a particularly keen affection and he has returned to it often at intervals between diplo matic missions. Charlotte is listed as his permanent residence.

J. (Skipper) Coffin, head of the department of journalism in the University, and a long-time friend of Walter (Pete) .Murphy's, wrote the following editorial on his old friend for the paper they both once edited, the Tar Heel Ed.) Walter (Pete) Murphy, class of 1894, died at Salisbury, his home, Saturday at the age of 73. More than fifty of these years, allowing for his having performed noteworthy service to his state as legislator and having acquired an admirable family, were chief ly characterized by a complete devotion to the University of North Carolina.. ; Unquestionably Lux et Libertas were, so far as Pete was con cerned, the state, or if not, anyhow the state's chief claim to dis tinction was having given birth io and nurtured Pete's alma mater. Not until last fall, when the weight of years fell upon him, had the center rush of the teams of 1892-93-94 missed a football game of consequence at the Hill. Moreover he was never heard griping ac results, for he always felt that his team, imbued with his own loyalty, had given its best. Not once was the legislature of North Carolina asked by a Uni versity administration to make adequate appropriations for its upkeep that Murphy of Rowan, as member or speaker of the house he was speaker twice or private citizen was not in there pitching. ; It tastes a bit of the can, perhaps ; but he was Carolina's No. 1 alumnus. Pete he was to more than half a century of campus citizens. His son Spencer, exceptional craftsman who edits the Salisbury Post, came in for a campus season of being Pete, and the term of respectful endearment was also used to denote his daughter Elizabeth, who wedded Peter Henderson, an A.B. in journalism from New Jersey. - Pete himself was among the first editors of the Tar Heel, back in the days when it traveled almost wholly under its power and certainly without benefit of P.U. Board or clergy. . Of visible return for his devotion Alumnus Murphy received from his University the honorary degree of doctor of laws, and Orange county, which only once had opportunity publicly to dis play its affection gave him a majority in 1940 for secretary of state, the one statewide office for which he was ever a candidate. He was, it is true, for 40 years a member of the board of.trus tees and tor the past several years a member of the executive committee. But he received that recognition from the state as a whole for his all-year, all-weather devotion to Carolina. Senator Josiah William Bailey, non-alumnus, but father of a Tar Heel founder Dies In Salisbury Walter (Pete) Murphy, Carolina Great, Succumbs After Severe Heart Attack Walter (Pete) Murphy, 73, one of Carolina's foremost alumni and a leader in state Democratic circles for many, years, died at his Salisbury home Saturday after a long illness. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at his home and burial was in Me morial Park Cemetery in Salisbury. Murphy was one of the original Three Men Kept As Phi Elects New Term Heads Four new officers were elected to serve in the Philanthropic Assembly at the Phi's first meeting of the new ' term Tuesday night. Three officers, including speaker Jack Lackey, were retained. Charley Bortan was elected ser-geant-at-arms, Bob Fentress was chosen treasurer, Lillian Reeves was elected as representative to the CRIL, and Sibyl Goerch was chosen repre sentative to the Debate Council. Officers retained besides Lackey were Blount Stewert, speaker pro tern, and Jean Huske, clerk. The evening's resolution, concerning student 'entertainment at Carolina, was postponed because business of the first meeting of the term took all of the time. Dr. Graham Completes Washington Service Dr. Frank Graham returned to the campus over the weekend after serv ing in Washington as chairman of President Hary Truman's fact-finding board for settlement of the labor dif Acuities in the oil industry. The board recommended an 18 per cent increase in the industry as compared to the 30 per cent increase which had been de manded by the CIO oil workers union.

Charlie Spivak 's Trumpeting Known a$ 'Honey in the Horn ' Charlie Spivak, the band leader whose trumpet playing is described as honey in the horn," comes to Caro lina for Midwinters on February 1 and 2. "The Man Who Plays the Sweetest Trumpet In the World" is the leader of a three year old band which has rocketed to top-flight stature in the entertainment world. Latest successes in Spivak's musi cal career has been 20th Centurv'a Pin-Up Girl" and "Follow The Boys" for Universal. Upon comple tion of current tour he plans to make another movie for 20th Century. "Downbeat" Magazine chose Spivak as the top sweet band in the nation in 1944. He organized his three-year- old band with the aid of the late Glenn Miller, for whom his ten-month-old son is named. His first big engage ment at the Glen Island Casino was so successful that the casino, a sum mer night spot, stayed open for the winter season. After his stand at Glen Ialand Ca sino the band went to Cafe Rouge of the Hotel Pennsylvania where it broke Glenn Miller's and Jimmy Dorsey's records. At the Hotel Commodore the band repeated its performance. . Before organizing his band Charlie Spivak was the highest paid free lance trumpeter in radio, playing on such programs as the Ford Symphony Hour, Kate Smith and Fred Allen broadcasts. At various times he has played with the Dorsey Brothers, where fellow musicians were Glenn Miller, Skeets Herfut and Bob Crosby, Ray Noble and his band, Benny Pollack and Paul Specht. Charlie Spivak began trumpet play ing while still in grade school. He recalls that his first trumpet was so tiny that the first valve could be played with the nose because it was so close to the mouthpiece. While a student at Hill House High School in New Haven, Conn., he studied with George yer, a member of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. As a Carolina wolf Charlie Spivak. according to publicity releases, would have much appeal.
