Tuesday, April 12, Page Four THE DAILY TAR HEEL 0 I Jorld Me Bulletin Lindbergh Still Hopes for Baby's Return Colonel Lindbergh disclosed definitely yesterday .that there was an original ransom note for the return of the Lindbergh baby, and this note was such as to provide an absolute means of identifying the kidnapers.

Would Ban War Tanks Ambassador :Hugh S. Gibson s - in an address to "the Geneva dis armament conference yesterday proposed the abolishment of tanks, mobile artillery, and the use of gas. Richard , Whitney Questioned Exposure of the "bears" of Wall Street was sought yester day in the Senate banking com mittee's questioning of Richard Whitney, president of the New York stock exchange, summoned to. produce full details of the larger short transactions in last week's tobogganing market. The investigation, long delayed, is an inquiry inspired by President Joover, who believes the eco nomic recovery of the country has been delayed by systematic and purely, selfish beating down of stock and bond prices. JOAN BENNETT STARRED IN FIRST COMEDY ROLE Joan Bennett, usually assoc iated with straight dramatic roles, turns comedienne in "Careless Lady," the new Fox comedy-romance in which she has the leading role opposite John Boles, and which will be shown at the Carolina today. It was when "Careless Lady" first went into production that Miss Bennett proved her com edy technique equals if not sur passes her dramatic talents Her role is that of a New Eng land maiden, brought up by two very prim and sedate'aunts She rebels at repression and fle cides to go to Paris and learn to be sophisticated and attractive This scheme rWduld 'be excellent except for her arrest in a police raid, which fgive& her the notion of pretending to be the wife of a noted millionaire during her foreign tour. Hot Headed Missouri" Senator Exp eUed From University In 1799 (Continued from first page) This miserable joke grew into a story for a whole progeny of stories of his having been caught stealing as a young fel low. . - ' ' Expelled Boy Sees Red Another story is that Benton went into his roommate's trunk to get some money to .pay for his laundry. He told his room mate later how much he had taken, and his, roommate said it was all right. But when he later went to the trunk he found that more money was gone than Ben ton had said he had taken. Al though Benton denied having taken ' more, his roommate pre ferred charges, thus causing his expulsion. As he left the Uni versity, he turned to a mob of jeering students and exclaimed wrathfully; "I am leaving here now, but damn you! you will hear from me again." And they did, as did the whole country. Twenty-eight years later Ben ton was reinstated. The minutes of the society for May 9, 1827, Charles - Biddle Sheperd: "I move that Thomas H. .Ben ton be readmitted as a mem ber of our society.' I further move ' that a certificate stating the same, isigned by the president and secretary, be transmitted to Mr. Benton." This motion was passed. Tradition has it that Benton returned the certificate with the laconic answer, "Go to hell." There is much speculation as to why Benton did not resort to a duel it talse charges were brought against him. It is known that Benton was not op posed to dueling even in his col lege days, for K. Battle, in his History of the University o North Carolina, states that a distinguished statesman, Thom as H. Benton, figured in a dan gerous fray, drawing a pistol on Archibald Lytle of Tennessee the difficulty occasioned by Ben ton having struck his adver sary's nephew, a lad in the grammar school. Lytle excus ed himself for not having en gaged in the duel on the grounds that he had come a long distance for an education and could not afford to be expelled." In spite of the hindrance he in curred as a result of the theft charge, Benton was one of the outstanding men in the United States Senate when that body included such famous states men as Henry Clay, John C. Cal houn, Robert Hayne, and Danie Webster.

THEATRE (Continued from page two) Charming (Mr. Davis gave him a regal number of extra names that are impossible to remem ber) was unexpectedly good. He moved about with the stage presence of a veteran, which he indeed is, and put over his lines with a surprising effectiveness. George Hogan, Cameron Mur chison, Dicky, Hobbs, and Bay lor Henninger made fine palace guards: They were superbly martial in their stances, and they ' were natural in their crap game. The two gentlemen who staged the What-Price-Glory fight in the' second act were ex cellent, and their bit deserved a separate mention of their names on the program. Out of the ex tra Ladies, Jean Breckenridge was most noticeable as the sophisticated wife of the profes sor.
