WEEK DESIGNATED
FOR "AMERICAN
REDISCOVERY"
To Celebrate,
Reafirm Principles
Of Democracy
In a special proclamation issued by
the American Committee for Democ
racy and Intellectual Freedom this
week has been designated as "Ameri
can Rediscovery Week." The plan has
received the endorsement of many out
standing public officials, churchmen,
and educators and is sponsored by a
number of prominent national organi
zations. The purpose of the proclamation is
to make this week "the occasion for
celebrating and reaffirming the 'prin
ciples of American democracy, in a
solemn resolve to secure for all the
inhabitants of these United States the
necessary conditions for life itself:
liberty and equal rights for all, re
gardless of color, creed, political con
viction, or national origin."
COMMITTEE ORGANIZATION
The American Committee for De
mocracy and Intellectual Freedom is
formed of a group of scientists and
educators pledged to protect and ex
tend intellectual liberty, to strengthen
American democracy, to combat prop
aganda for racial and religious dis
crimination or intolerance, and to
strengthen the forces of democracy in
the American schools. As an out
growth of these aims comes this proc
lamation as an attempt to combat the
"powerful foes of equality and liberty"
which are ' now challenging "our tra
ditional rights." - -PROGRAM
: The program for the week includes
as the feature activity a nationwide
series of meetings on Columbus Day,

culture Henry A. Wallace and Pro
fessor Franz Boaz, national chairman
of the committee.
As a second part of the plan, ex
hibits of books and charts analyzing
the truths about race prejudices have
been prepared. ' One is to be shown at
the World's Fair and others in hun
dreds of college .and. general book
stores, libraries, arid classrooms
throughout the country as segments of
the campaign to "lay bare the sources
of prejudice which threaten Ameri
can democratic institutions."

Wolf Uses Two
Complete Teams;
Stirny Stays Out
By SHELLEY ROLFE
FOREMAN FIELD, Norfolk, Oct
7 Sparked by Sweet Jim Lalanne,
playing the outstanding game of his
tempestuous two-year college football
career, the University of North Caro
lina hampered by mid-summer heat
and stiff er than anticipated resistance,
defeated Virginia Tech, 13-6, this
afternoon for its third straight victory
of the 1939 season before 15,000 gal
leryites. Carrying over both of the Tar Heel
touchdowns and spearhead of the
drives that led up to them, Lalanne,
although one of his punts was blocked
amply made up for the absence of
George Stirnweiss, who sat on the
bench, still favoring the charley horse
he suffered in last week's Wake For
est game. Stirny warmed tip part of
the game, but through most of the
afternoon he sat on the bench biting
his finger nails and lending aid on the
Carolina cause only with his line of
chatter; waiting for any emergency
calls to action.
CALL DOESN'T COME
The call never came. Carolina, after
a scoreless first quarter, swept across
with a second quarter touchdown,
added another in the third and then
proceeded to play defensive ball in the
last period. The only Gobbler touch
down came in the closing seconds of
play when a pass over the goal line ap- .
parently batted , down by a Tar Heel
backfield man, fell into fourth-string
back Garrett Taylor's hands for a
Virginia Tech scpre.
Carolina movecj slowly most of the
game. It may have been the Tar Heels
were suffering natural let-downs from ,
their record-breaking scoring against
Wake ; Forest; iih5cF. The" Citadel, or it
may have been the fact that the Wolf
men were holding back for the start
of major league competition next Sat
urday against NYU. But whatever
it was, at no time did Carolina move
as smoothly or with as much precision
as it did in the opening two battles of
the year. .
Realizing, perhaps, that the Tar
Heels were not right, Coach Wolf used
two complete teams, substituting
freely. Lalanne and Harry Dunkle,
who kicked better than ever, were the
backfield standouts. Paul Severin,
moulding his play more and more into
the Andy Bershak pattern of spending '
afternoons in the enemy backfield was
a line standout along with Bob Smith,
Jim Woodson, Jim Mallory and Bill
Faircloth.
After a dulPfirst quarter in which
both teams seemed to be holding back
to see what the other would spring,
Carolina struck early in the second '
quarter with the second-string back-
