WOLFE APPROVES
STATE INSURANCE
FOR UNEMPLOYED
In Address to Rotary Club Pro
fessor Declares This Type
Of Relief Inevitable.
Unemployment insurance as
one means of, solving problems
for the millions of , jobless in
this country was advocated by
Dr. H. D. Wolfe of the Univer

address before the Chapel Hill
Rotary club at its regular meet-
incr this wppTc.
e
'H. .rtem ..irmnTit f
unemployment is inevitable, its'?3 with the purpose of lector-
producing goods and services,
just as we figure depreciation,"
Dr. Wolfe asserted.
The speaker said there had
been pretty definite opposition
to unemployment insurance in
this country, that it had been
characterized as a sort of dole.
Despite the defects of the
system, England would not
think of doing away with its un
employment insurance, Wolfe
said.
Disease Toll Heavy
Pointing out that there are
now around eight million men
and women in this country who'
have been unemployed for from
one to three years and that pel
lagra and tuberculosis are tak

CHAPEL HILL, N. O, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1932
Actor Says, However, That Eng
lishmen Are Not Interested
In American Lecturers.
By Donoh Hanks
"English actors do not come
to America any more than
American actors go to Eng
land," stated V. L. Granville, the
distinguished British actor, in
an interview Wednesday . night
previous to an amazing perform
ance of his "Dramatic Inter
ludes" at Memorial hall. In re
versing a common American
opinion, Granville turned in dis
gust from his laborious task of
ma,kn8: UP ms ace n ms dress
ing room ior nis periormance a
few minutes later. v
"American actors and ac
tresses of the American stage
are probably more popular in
England than English actors in
America," he declared. "Even
American movies are as popu
lar as British films." When
asked why so many English
dramatic actors tour America
immediately upon achieving suc
cess in England, Granville an
swered that as often heard in
England is the question "Why
do American actors and ac
tresses come to England."
Granville Also Author
Granville is not only an ac
complished actor, but an author
of some note. Although proud
of his English birth, he is bitter
toward other Englishmen, other

Local Barber Offers Services To
State Of Alabama For Sustenance
Griffin; Cut-Rate Barber in Strowd Building, Claiming Three Years
College Preparation at Furman, Shows True Missionary
Spirit in Offer to Head of Alabama Schools.
o
In this great center of edu
cation where a retention of the
present scale of salaries for in
structors is a source of much
worry, there is one citizen who
has a true missionary spirit.
Herbert Griffin, a cut-rate bar
ber wno operates a little one
chair shop in Strowd building,
has offered to teach in any state
which cannot afford to pay its
school teachers, asking only his
room and board in return.
Last month Griffin, who is
from Fairmont, read in a news
paper that country schools in
Alabama would soon Have to
close on account of insufficient
funds. Acting in the spirit of
education, since barbering is not
so profitable anyway, he sent an
application to the state superin
tendent of education at Mont
gomery, Alabama.
Griffin's Plan
Griffin's idea was that grate
ful parents of the pupils in his
school might gladly offer their
homes to him, so that he might
board with one family one week,
with another the next week, and
so on, at no expense to the state.
To Griffin's great chagrin, the
Alabama department of educa
tion, instead of accepting his ap
plication, referred his letter to
the Associated Press, which
promptly printed it throughout
the country.
"School children cannot pre
vent the depression," he says ;
"therefore teachers should teach
without any salary when it is
necessary." He thinks "the
right kind of education (exclud
ing Mohammedanism, Buddhism,
etc.) is one of our greatest civil
izing influences."
MONROE DOCTRINE
IS TOPICOF TALK
Visiting Speaker Says That Pol
icy Has Been Characterized
As Both Good and Bad.
"The Monroe doctrine has be-?
come the scapegoat of inter
national affairs, the subject of
all kinds of misrepresentation
and misunderstanding," assert
ed Dr. Carlos Davila, ex-president
of Chile and former ambas-
sador to the United States, in his
address on "The Monroe
trine" in Gerrard hall Wednes
day night. .
"The Monroe doctrine has
been given to the public as a
series of contradictions : Now as
an omen for Peace, and now as
a dire menace; now as the lamb,
and now as the lion," the dis
tinguished South American dip-!
lomat and, editor asserted. "It
has been likened unto the dove
legend, and to the hideous vul
ture." This was the second of a series
of lectures Dr. Davila is deliver
ing here under the auspices of
the Carnegie endowment for in
ternational peace.
He gave his third lecture last
night on "Economic Relations
Between American States" and
the final talk on "Cultural
Reciprocity Between the Amer
ican Peoples" will be delivered
tonight in Gerrard hall. There
will also be a round table con-
ference this afternoon at 4:00
o'clock in Bingham hall. Dr.
Davila will address the students
in assembly today on student
life in Chile.
Griffin is a high school grad -
uate, and, according to his state-
ment, has credit for three full
years at Furman University in
South Carolina. He, hopes to
pass his senior year when his
finances permit, i Even now, he
asserts, he can efficiently teach
French and all grammar school
suojects. wnen ne was m tne
eleventh grade of high school
his desire to. teach developed. I
Since that time he has adopted'
a teaching platform. However,
he would gladly modify it to fit
the best interests of the chil
dren.
A part of the platform which
he submitted to the Alabama
superintendent "is to not whip
a child as long as you can avoid
it, but to punish by making him
or her stand in. the corner, or
learn good poetry, or stay in
after school for misconduct."
Griffin is opposed to injuring
the health, eyes, or nerves of the
pupils by over-study and be
lieves "in making them learn
enough each day to enable them
to cover a reasonable number of
pages." His platform, he in
sists, "has many other valuable
planks in it."
So far as Griffin knows, he
and Miss Annie Laura Rogers of
Norfolk, Virginia, are the only
ones who have applied to Ala -
bama for the privilege of teach
ing without compensation. Miss
Rogers holds a M. A. degree
from Columbia University in
New York, and, according to, Elders Pay,, by Sue Roberson;
Griffin, "loves to teach." ' Honora Wade, a tragedy by Eu
On the subject of his financial genia Rawls; Miriam's Mother,
support in such a position, the a play about church people, by

Daily Tar Heel Continues Vote
To Secure Student Choice
For Vice-President.
ELEVEN NAMES ON BALLOT
Student Council in Complete
Charge of Polls as Well as
Tabulation of Votes.
With a heavy balloting record
ed on the first day, The Daily
Tar Heel continues the straw
ballot to secure the choice of the
student body for vice-president
of the Greater University here
at Chapel Hill. The polls will
be open from 9:00 to 5:00
o'clock at the Y. M. C. A. and
is being conducted by students
officially appointed by the stu
dent council. Special ballots
have been printed, carrying the
names of the eleven men who re
ceived above five votes in the
first vote held last week.
Those men whose names ap
pear on the ballot in order are:
R. B. House, E. E. Ericson, H.
G. Baity, L. R. Wilson, F. F.
Bradshaw, A. W. Hobbs, R. W.
Linker, R. D. W. Connor, Addi
son Hibbard, Archibald Hender
son, and Frank P. Graham. A
blank space is lift for those per
sons not appearing on the ballot.
First Vote Too Small
As a result of the fact that
the first poll held last week was
too small to be representative of
the opinion of the entire student
body, The Daily Tar Heel in
co-operation with the student
council is sponsoring this second
ballot. '
The fact was also brought to
light as a result of an investiga

GRANVILLE GIVES
VARIED PROGRAM
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Distinguished English Actor Of
fers WeH-Balanced Presenta
tion in Memorial Hall.
V. L. Granville, the distin
guished English actor,, present
ed his "Dramatic Interludes," a
well-balanced and varied presen
tation in make-up and costume
from the drama of all periods,
in Memorial hall, Wednesday
night, before a large and appre
ciative audience. Granville said,
as a prelude to his program, that
the stage as an educational fea
ture had a definite bearing on
the progress of man. It was his
opinion that the stage will al
ways exercise a great influence
over people. .
Portrayed Characters
Granville portrayed noted
characters in drama from the
Bible up to the present period.
His portrayal of Job was charac
teristic of his talent and ability
for the role of serious drama,
and the role of Lady Wishfort
was an excellent interpretation
of light humorous comedy.
The fine acting and the period,
costumes were raised to even a
Jngher point of, excellence by the
remarkable lighting effects that
were used. .
Another feature of. the eve
ning's entertainment was the
actor's ability to quick changes
in costume and make-up, which
he accomplished with only the
aid of a very small red light at
tached to his make-up box.
