British Editor Advises American College Men
To Travel In Europe For Year After Graduation
London, March 26. (UP)
If young Americans on leaving
college take the advice of R. D.
Blumenf eld, journalist and edi
tor, they will devote a year to
European travel instead of, say,
climbing towards executive po
sitions via factory-wheel and of
fice experience.
R. D. B., "as he is known even
beyond the British newspaper
"world, interviewed by the Unit
ed Press, began speaking of the
journalistic career but made it
cfear that his counsel would
equally apply to those on the
threshold of any business or
Profession. His message to
yoy th bore the twofold authori
ty of rich experience garnered
by the youngest septuagenarian
in London.
Better Chance for Americans
"The young American has a
better chance than the Briton,"
Blumenfeld affirmed, "for he is
untrammeled by tradition, can
say and do things the English
man can not. America forgives
youth for idiosyncracies . and
blunders, less readily condoned
Britain.
"If I were a boy in the Unit
ed States, I'd equip myself for
orld journalism, not merely
American journalism. Td
GIBSON REVIEWS
GRAHAM'S WORE
Southwest Review Has 13 Page
Article on HisAchievements.
That President Frank P; (Gra
ham's work as administrator of
the University of North Carolina
for the last five years "has
stirred many educators arid
writers to praise" is the con
clusion reached bv John M
Gibson in a 13-page article on
Dr. Graham's achievements, in
the current issue of the "South
west Review' an outstanding
quarterly published jointly, by
the" Southern Methodist Univer
sity and Louisiana State Uni
versity.
The article directs attention to
the national recognition eriven
Dr. Graham by the Roosevelt
administration last year when
General Hugh S. Johnson asked
that : the University president be
given an indefinite leave of ab
sence to enable him to direct the
economic education program of
the National Recovery Adminis
tration. Dr. Graham at the
time was already a member of
the NRA advisory fcouncil and
vice-chairman of the consumers
advisory board. It is related
that when the trustees opposed
his acceptance on the ground
that he was needed too much at
home, Dr. Graham declined the
Washington invitation.
The current issue of the
"Southwest Review" also carries
an article by University Profes
sor Rupert P. Vance, of the in
stitute for research in social
science and Mayflower cup win
ner, on "Planning . the Southern
Economy."

ly Spanish and, above all, mas
ter the writing of English sim
ply, without adjectives. After
a year in Europe and some
browsinsr in London I would re
turn and tSach people world af
fairs."
Applies to Other Vocations
That this advice also was in
tended for other" vocations was
made clear when Blumenf eld de
nounced the view that the Unit
ed States are isolated and de
scribed the commercial . inter
twining of America with the rest
of the world.
"Surrounded by a Chinese
wall," he stated, : "the United
States could at most live on its
own fat for a decade."
He attributed Britain's pre
dominance to "the grand tour
plus self-confidence and a little
snobbery" from which British
youth has come home with inti
mate knowledge of continental
life, ready to assure British
business access to the ground
floor in the world's markets. ,
Fine Background

Chances ' for Germany's Return
to League Believed to Be Bet- ;
tered by Conversations.
Berlin, Germany, March 26.
(UP)1 Chances of Germany's
return to the League of Nations
were believed enhanced as a re
sult of the two-day conversa
tions between Hitler and Brit
ain's Sir .John Simon and Captain-Anthony
Eden.
The conversations came to an
end at 6:30 p, m. No attempt
was made to reach any agree
ment, but both sides were con
vinced of the high value of co
operation for peace.
Eden to Moscow
Captain Eden left tonight for
Moscow to start a series of peace
moves with Russia, Poland, and
Czechoslovakia.
This event marks the first trip
of a British minister to the
Kremlin since the Bolsheviki up
heaval during the regime of
Alexander Kerensky in 1917.
Observers have begun to spec
ulate as to the nature of Eden's
reception at the Russian capital.
France turned eager eyes toward
the east in the fond apprehen
sion of a four-power entente
composed of England, France,
Russia, and Italy.
Meanwhile Italian "emergency
mobilization" continued smooth-
ly.

BUS UNE HEARING
TO BE TOMORROW

at 11 O'clock; Students to
Get Free Transportation.

of the Atlantic Greyhound Lines

mission will take place tomor-
L . 'J! 'J ' -
row morning ax ii o ciock in
Raleigh.
A bus, providing free trans
portation for all students' inter
ested in attending the hearing,

o'clock. Dewitt Carroll, stu
dent representative, is arrang
ing for the trip.
All students who would like
to appear at the hearing in favor
of the Greyhound proposal must
get in touch with Carroll at the
Sigma Delta house today.
Many Petitions Signed
The hearing is to ascertain
whether the Greyhound Lines
will be allowed to run a sched
uled, bus system through Chapel
Hill, with Greensboro and Ral
eigh as the terminals. Numerous
petitions from-towns along the
way and irom the University
have been signed and presented
to the commission asking for the
new service.
For Chapel Hillians and Uni

service would be a distinct im
provement over the present sys
tem operated by the Carolina
Coach Company. Not only will
the Greyhound rates be cheaper,
but the service will be direct and
much faster.
The hearing has been post
poned four times, due to several
factors. There has been no op
position to the proposed route
except from the incumbent bus
lines.
Permission must be secured
from respective o!eans to be ex
cused from classes.

Former Student Head
Fails to Return
Election of New Council Mem
ber Unnecessary Because xf
Two Holdovers Last Year.
WILL COMPLETE TERM
At a called meeting of the
Student Council last night,
necessitated by the failure of
Virgil Weathers, council presi
dent, to return to school this
quarter, Frank Abernethy, for
mer vice-president, was official
ly advanced to the position of
president for the remainder of
his season.
Weathers has accepted a po
sition with the Elkan branch of
the Chatham Knitting Company,
manufacturers of blankets. .
No Precedent
Since there was no estab
lished precedent as to wbether
another member of the Student
Council should be -elected to take
the office vacated by Abernethy,
the new president met with
the Council at 7 o'clock last night
to determine whether this should
be dbrie.
The Council decided that' it
would not be necessary to elect
an additional member to their
group, since the numbers of
hold-over members, or advisers
had been increased last year
from one to two.
President Abernethy explain
ed that two members were held
over because the former presi
dent felt that the Council lacked
experience. JNotwitnstanding
Abernethy's succession to the
presidency, there are still nine
members remaining on the
Council, which is the traditional
number.
The students had no vice-
president until 1931 when that
office was first created. Mayne
Albright was then president and
"Slim" Medford became the first
vice-president.
