To Conduct Concert
Wednesday Night
The second student entertainment
V
of the winter quarter will be held next
Wednesday evening in Memorial hall,
when Dr. Hans Kindler once again
brings his National Symphony orches
tra to the campus.
Emmanating from the nation's capi
tal nine years ago, the National Sym
phony has steadily grown in the eyes
of the leading music critics. Among
the staunchest supporters of the Wash
ington orchestra have been Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and other figures in
the Capitol Hill political and social
circles.
The symphony is now making a tour
of the South which will cover Winter
Park, Sarasota, St Petersburg, Palm
Beach, Rock Hill, and Lynchburg.
Among the other cities in which Dr.
Kindler's organization has played are
Syracuse, N. Y.; Fall River, Mass.;
Ithaca, N. Y.; Elmira, N. Y.; Hamil
ton, N. Y.; Troy, N. Y.; and Hartford,
Conn. At Hartford the orchestra made
its fifth apearance in a series of con
certs at Bushnell Memorial auditorium,
on which the Boston, Philadalphia, and
other leading philharmonic organiza
tions of the nation are annually sched
uled. RISE
Since its first meager backing from
97 Washington music lovers, the Na
tional 'Symphony has grown until it
now claims over 6,000 subscribers. In
several concerts in Constitution hall in
the nation's capital this year, an aver
age attendance of 3,500 persons has
"been present. '
Before-organizing the Symphony,
Dr. Kindler had an impressiverecord
with several of the leading philhar
monic orchestras. He has conducted
the Philadalphia orchestra in one of
its regular,eries -concerts at : the in
vitation of Leopold Stokowski. He
has also led the New York Philharmonic-Symphony
at Lewisohn stadium,
and has apeared as guest conductor of
the world-famous Concert-gebouw or
chestra in Amsterdam.

Taft To Speak Thursday On

Ohio Senator's
Address Here
' With the latest reports from Wash
ington giving him the inside track
for the GOP nomination next June,
Ohio's Senator Robert A. Taft will
come to the campus to speak on "The
Industrial Future of the South," next
Thursday evening in Memorial hall
at 8:30.
The Buckeye state's hope for the
presidency next November has been
conducting an extensive campaign
throughout the east during the past
two months. Among the highlights
of his tour has been his acceptance
of the President's challenge to show
how the budget can be balanced. Al
though he inaugurated his Southern
campaign in Greensboro last month,
reports from the Republican national
committee indicate that his speech
here Thursday will be the first major
address of his campaign below the
Mason-Dixon line.
While several of the leading weekly
magazines have carried approving and
degrading features the Ohio candi
date, it was reported that the GOP
convention delegates who met in
Washington over the weekend were
leaning toward Taft for the nomina
tion. The convention is slated to be
held in Philadelphia June 24.
This week's Life magazine carried
a whole section on Taft, picturing the
more informal side of the Buckeye
senator's life. Two weeks ago, Time
magazine reviewed his life and hinted
that he was the strongest man the
GOP could" nominate - r '
The son of ex-President William
Howard Taft, the Ohio Senator has
risen rapidly since his election to the
upper chamber in 1938. An ardent
New Deal foe, Taft's chief attaeks
on the President's program have been
made on national debt and the de
valuation of the dollar. In the Sep
tember special session, he supported
the repeal of the arms embargo.
In his campaign for the Republican
nomination, influential GOP political
supporters as well as several state
delegations have fallen into line, most
prominent of whom was Governor
Bricker of Ohio. After his speech in
Greensboro, the North Carolina Re
publican delegation voted to support
Taft in the ' Philadelphia convention.
Palms Of Your Hands
Show Latent Talents
Says Sally Buckbee
By BEN ROEBUCK
Sally Hunter Buckbee, currently
appearing at Kenfield's sporting goods
store, is noty a fortune teller and she
positively does not find lost articles
and that sort of thing. By looking at
your hands she can tell you all about
your latent talents and abilities and
what to do to develop them to get full
benefit of what you have.
"Many men and women go through
life with dormant talents, with no
knowledge as to how to develop them,"
she says. "Few people actually plan
ahead as to their best talents."
NEWSPAPERWOMAN
Mrs. Buckbee was connected with
newspapering for 20 years she was
the first woman in the city room of the
Springfield (Mass.) Union before the
war. Her articles have appeared in the
Saturday Evening Post, Collier's
Weekly and, under a nom-de-plume, in
the popular Esquire, men's magazine.
Every now and then she dashes off a
story for the magazines. She often
conducts radio interviews.
While on the Springfield newspaper,
she was asked to interview Chiro, the
great Australian hand analyst he
has offices in London and Vienna. He
was impressed with her adeptness for
the. art and asked her to go into the
study of it more fully. Thereupon, as
a hobby she studied with Chiro.
Recently the hand analyst appeared
at Cornell university, Wellsley col
lege, Chatauqua institute, Boston col
lege and Yale university. Often fea
tured at private parties, she confesses

Debating Squad
To Be Selected
Tomorrow Night
Final tryouts for the coming debates
with William and Mary, and with
Emory university will be held tomor
row evening in the Grail room of Gra
ham Memorial, at 7:30, according to
Walter Kleeman, president of the De
bate council.
The first debate, in which the Uni
versity's forensic artists will take the
affirmative of the question, "Resolved,
that the United States should pursue
a policy of strict economic and mili
tary isolation toward all nations out
side the western hemisphere engaged
in armed civil or international con
flict," will take place at 3 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, with Emory.
SECOND ENCOUNTER
Friday evening, the debaters will
engage two representatives of the
Women's college of William and Mary
in a debate on the same question, with
the University forces taking the same
side.
The question to be debated in both
debates is the Pi Kappa Delta ques
tion being debated all over the country
as a standard statement of the isola
tion question.
"In view of the fact that six men
will be chosen to represent the Uni
versity," Kleeman said, "these tryouts
should offer a good opportunity for
all those aspiring to the debating
team to try out for it."

Kimball Shines;
Frosh Win Easily
Over Little Blues
By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN
It may be said, first, that Carolina
beat Duke in boxing last night by a
score of 6-2. It may be said, secondly,
that approximately 4,500 fight fans
watched with utter enjoyment the
rout of the Blue Devils as the dual meet
season ended with a state champion
ship for Carolina. And it may be said,
thirdly, that Gates Kimball is on the
threshhold of a national intercollegiate
title.
Kimball caused more noise and creat
ed the biggest sensation in Woollen
gym since President Roosevelt visit
ed the sporting emporium in 1938
and did it by sending big Bill Bailey,
225-pound Duke football player, to the
canvas before the second round of
their heavyweight clash was half over.
FROSH WIN
Earlier in the evening, Carolina's
freshman boxers concluded a 50-50 sea
son by running through Duke frosh
5-3.
Other than Kimball's great triumph,
it was difficult to pick (out the best
fights of the night. Nearly every man
on Mike Ronman's accomplished team
did well for himself. Only one boxer,
newcomer Zan Carver who filled in at
175, lost a decision. Duke's other
point came on two draws.
Bob Farris drew with Ed Morel at
155, and conference champion Billy
Winstead was tied surprisingly by Dan
Brandon. Two technical knockouts,
Kimball's and one by Red Sanders, were
included in the results.
KIMBALL ' y
Gates put on a masterful show. The
giant Bailey, a former Lexington high
school boxer and All-Southern end at
Duke last fall, towered above Kim
ball and had a decided weight , advan
taere. but that was all. Kimball, a
' grade A f ootbller himself, took it easy
in the first round, feeling Bailey out
with left jabs and an occasional right
