Graham Memorial To Sponsor Salon Ensemble Sunday Bennett's Student Orchestra to Present Classic Works The Salon ensemble, under the direction of David Bennett, will give its first concert of the year Sunday aiternoon at 5 o- clock in the Graham Memorial lounge. It is with keen interest that the Chapel Hill audience greets this organization of young mu sicians, all members of the stu dent body, and directed by member of the senior class. Es tablished in 1931, this orchestra was conducted by Thor Johnson ; and when he went to the Uni versity of Michigan to do his graduate work, Mr. Bennett un dertook to further the aim of these young people in presenting music of the masters to North Carolina audiences. A pleasant part of this pro gram will be a group of violon cello solos by Miss Kathryn Kennard, a graduate of the Uni versity of Idaho and now member of the faculty of the music department here. Selec tions from the works of Ameri can composers will be the main part of Sunday's performance. Class Hears i Tl American press," he said, "has a terrible influence on the pub lic." Hollywood He further spoke of Holly wood, and remarked that the producers are not seeking per sons with prominent liter ary names to write the scripts, but are having them done by their own "hack writers," who do not have tote instructed in the art of movie writing. Mr. Green, while in Holly wood, made an estimate of the number of scripts in the Vaults of the larger organizations, and found that there were 100 tons of what he called "useless ma terial" lodged there. Old-Line States Desert Republican Cause In Hour Of Need Records Broken By C W. GILM6RE The electorally routed Repub lican party was given a new slo gan by a Democratic landslide yesterday. It is "As Maine goes, Clinging to the eight electoral votes of Maine and Vermont. Governor Alf Landon is the re cipient of the severest presiden- ial beating his party has ever taken in the nation's history. Confidence President Franklin Roosevelt, on the other hand, today is the proud possessor of a staggering vote of confidence he received from 46 states, netting him a popular vote which will reach 25,000,000 and an electoral col- ege return of 523 votes. In what would break all pre vious records, it appeared yes terday that 44,000,000 persons went to the polls to decide either to return the incumbent Demo crats to national power or to restore Republicans as federal leaders, a position they almost, monopolized prior to the appear ance of Franklin Roosevelt on the political scene. Fiasco The G.O.P. debacle left the party with little in the way of political control. Pennsylvania, which has never gone Demo cratic, was carried by the New Deal candidate with a 500,000 lead. Connecticut, one of the six states which stood by Herbert Hoover in 1932, was captured by the Democrats who led by 100,- (Continued on latt page) NEWDEALGETS LOCALMAJORITY Chapel Hill Votes Four To One Democratic Chapel Hill Tuesday return ed Franklin Delano Roosevelt victor in the presidential race by more than a four to one ma jority.
