(UP) Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, state re lief administrator, this evening protested the arrest of 54 men who were staying at the Ashe ville transient home earlier in the day.

"It is not generally known, but Felix Grisette is probably more, responsible than any other one person for Carl Snavely's being here," says Louis Graves in the current issue of the Chapel Hill Weekly. Editor Graves points out that Mr. Grisette, now director of the Alumni Loyalty Fund, who became well acquainted with Coach Snavely while working on a Pittsburgh newspaper, was the first person to suggest the new coach's nameto members of the University Athletic Coun cil. From then on, according to the Weekly's story, Mr. Gri sette played a prominent "part in the negotiations that led to the three-year contract which Coach Snavely signed.' Reporter "When he (Grisette) was a reporter for the Pittsburgh Ga zette-Times, about seven years ago, the team of Belief onte Academy, Undefeated through two seasons, won national fame in school football circles. In the Christmas holidays it went on a tour of the southwest, and Grisette's paper sent him along. "The Belief onte coach was Carl Snavely. The correspondent shared a room with him at every stop on the tour, andthey be came close friends. They kept up their friendship after Snave ly went from Bellefonte Acade my to Bucknell College. "Grisette made no move to bring Snavely here until it was settled that there was to he a new coach.. Then he urged the selection of Snavely with all the persuasive powers at his com mand. The public was inform ed that Snavely came here to confer with the committee, but it did not know that this was his second visit to Chapel Hill. He had made a visit a little while before, at his friend's invitation. Detailed Information "In the weeks that preceded the final decision, Grisette not only told the committeemen what he had observed of the Bucknell coach, but he saw to it that they received all the de tailed information about his record. . "Therefore I should say that, when the final whistle blew m the Kenan stadium last Satur- day, a small dark-haired spec tator, whose name was never heard through the amplifiers, and .who ,was unknown to most of the throng, had good reason to feel a nersonal rride in the result" GROUP APPOINTED BY STUDENT HEAD Begin with Investigation of Laundry; Hammer and Win slow Also on Committee. With a tour through the Uni versity laundry a student com mitte, appointed by Virgil Wea thers, student body president, and headed by Francis Fairley, began an inspection of the en tire University Consolidated Service yesterday. The committee, which, in ad dition to Fairley, includes Phil Hammer and J. D. Winslow, was appointed upon the recommen dation of the administration, and is to investigate the opera tion of plants, the method of procedure in bookkeeping and accounting, and the personnel of all branches of the Consolidated set-up. Purpose The purpose of the investiga tion, as outlined by Fairley last night, is to aid the students in gaining an unbiased viewpoint as to the aims and services of the Consolidated by means, of this committee. During the investigation, Fairley said, the student body will be kept informed of the . progress through the medium of the Daily Tar Heel, and at the conclusion of the tours, a complete report will be made and published, whether it is favorable to the present set-up or not. ; "After gaining a working knowledge of how the set-up works," said Fairley last night, "we are to make any recom mendations we see fit." Chairman Fairley welcomes the suggestion of any student who may desire to have .certain phases of the Consolidated Ser vice investigated. The investigation will be re sumed after the holidays Tues day.' Members of the commit tee will meet with Fairley at 2 o'clock on v that day.
