Saturday, February 14, the "All Campus Party" and the "Non Fraternity Party" published statements of their sides. Conceiving tne iaea that they I were for some reason or other being prejudiced against the "Non-Fraternity Party" com plained that they would rather not have any space at all than what was given them. Again on Friday, February 27, we reissued our invitation to the parties. The "All-Cam pus Party" replied that they would issue no statements un less the "Non-Fraternity Party" saw fit to do so also. The "Non Fraternity Party" made no re ply, but yesterday released a publication of their own called "The Spokesman." The Daily Tar Heel reiterates the fact that such a publication as "The Spokesman" is entirely superfluous in such a small town as Chapel Hill. In the era Students Conference on In ternational Relations and heard Dr. Edward S. Corwin, profes sor of jurisprudence at Prince ton University. first place the students pub lishing the paper are working directly against the welfare of the official publications of the University in that this is a year of economic depression and even in the best of times the amount of advertising to be obtained in Chapel Hill has a definite limit. The Buccaneer, The Carolina Magazine, and The Daily Tar Heel all lost money last year and unless everyone co-operates they may lose money this year. . If The Daily Tar Heel were unpopular with the student body there might be justifica tion of a sort for the political paper, but two overwhelming votes two years ago and last spring have backed up the Tar Heel and its program. v In fact in the election last spring as to whether the daily should be con tinued or not there were only thirteen votes out of the entire number cast which were opposed to the idea. On two points then is "The Spokesman" superfluous: - -' it duplicates in its columns articles which were not submitted to The Tar Heel but would have been published had they been submitted it thus being a waste of human energy ; and it second ly places the already established publications in the jeopardy of running into deficits. Will Yarborough. Bairnsfather Draws Buccaneer Picture Two students accosted Cap tain Bruce Bairnsfather, in the lobby of the Carolina Inn imme diately after his lecture last Friday night. They introduced themselves as members of the Buccaneer staff and asked: "Won't you give us a draw ing? We want it for the issue that's just about to go to press." Captain Bairnsfather hesitat ed, then said, "I'll do it." He sat down and with rapid strokes produced an Old Bill picture. He ended it with his signature and turned it over to the delighted students, who in turn hurried it over to Durham to the photo-engraver; the cut was returned to the Orange Printshop ; and Old Bill appears in the latest issue of the Buc ECONOMIC TOPICS BROUGHT BEFORE VOLUNTEER BODY Present-Day Problems Are Dis cussed in State Y Meeting Here. and pro- day LOCAL MAN GIVES HIS VERSION OF MEMPHIS ARREST, IMPRISONMENT ticularly of the large per cent of white criminals.

Fuller, a college textbook traveling salesman for the Houghton-Mifflin Publishing Co., who makes his home in Chapel Hill, was arrested Saturday night, February 21, by Memphis, Tennessee, police and held until the following Monday morning when he was re leased without charge. He was ar rested as he walked into the police station and asked the address of the lccal Communist headquarters, the inquiry being made because Mr. Fuller was looking for Horaca B. Davis, former professor in a Mem phis college. Mr. Fuller was graduated from the University in 1926 with high honors, and for two years thereafter was ad vertising manager of the University Press. He comes of a prominent Florida family and is a great grand son of . John Sevier,' who was for six terms Governor of Tennessee and a hero of the Battle of King's Mountain. Mr. fuller's friends, who were amazed at the action of the Memphis police, say he is not and never has been a Communist. In Chapel Hill he is known as a man of unusually quiet and gentle manners. Mr. Fuller's own version of the Memphis affair, which? has appeared in the Memphis Press-Scimitar, is given be low. By Henry R.

I saw a man with his mouth bleeding and' three teeth miss ing after he had been "ques tioned." I was held thirty-six hours incommunicado. No charge was made against me. "Lucky To Be Free" I came out of jail with a feel ing that I was lucky because I had powerful friends and ' that the less fortunate could not even hope for a square deal. I'm confident these conditions do not prevails in Memphis alone. To go back, I have possibly more than normal curiosity. If things happen around me I like to see them. If congressmen shout that "Communism is menacing the country," I am foolish enough to want to look at the menace It was with this curiosity that I walked into the police station Saturday night. I turned to the first officer on my left. I asked if this was the place for asking and answering of foolish ques tions. A young man politely said, "What do you want to know?" Three Questions "Do the police know of any Communist organization operat ing in Memphis? Is there any headquarters here for Commun istic propaganda? If so, where is it ?" These were my ques tions. The nice young fellow assured me there had been a few Com- Hicks (Ohio State University) .
