Earlier the high. command had is sued its most startling claim of the war that German mechanized forces had pierced France's Maginot line with a thrust south of the Meuse river in the region of Sedan. WASHINGTON White House Sec retary Stephen Early announced to night that President Roosevelt will ad dress a joint session of Congress to morrow on the subject of national de fense. Early said Roosevelt had come to the decision "at the advice and recom mendation of Congressional leaders." The speech will be made at 1 o'clock eastern standard time, and will be broadcast over the three major networks, Early said. WASHINGTON President Roose velt will ask Congress tomorrow for nearly $1,000,000,000 for prepared ness, according to reports tonight which said special emphasis would be laid to reduce this nation's invulner ability to air and blitzkreig attacks. WASHINGTON President Roose velt has sent a new peace plea to Pre mier Mussolini urging him to pre vent spread of the war, it was learned tonight. The new plea was understood to have been drafted during a conference with Secretary of State Cordell Hull and other diplomatic advisers which lasted until the early hours this morn ing. The announcement was interpreted generally as an indication that the State department fears that Musso lini will join Hitler in the war. This belief was strengthened with the an nouncement that Americans are to re turn immediately from Europe by way of Portugal, Spain or Bordeaux, France. The State department asked all to leave. , WASHINGTON The House ap propriations committee reported fav orably a $1,100,754,916 relief bill for the fiscal year 1940-41, and recom mended that the Works Project ad ministration be permitted to spend its $975,650,000 allotment in eight months if necessary.

Graham Denies V (Continued from first page). ments. I know of no American, Cana dian, British, French, or Scandinavian university which fails to do this. My own position as an Ameri can Democrat is on record several ) times as part of the expressions of a lifelong American Democra tic faith and, despite continuous and unanswered . misrepresenta tions, is clear to the great body of the people of North Carolina. The most recent summary of this philosophy 'was made for the Wil liamstown Institute at Williams college, which I am asking you to print, as a confession of faith, in your next Sunday issue. Q Do you have Communists on the University faculty? If so, are they permitted to advocate this doctrine before the students, either in the classrooms or elsewhere? Please show where you would draw the line be tween an academic study of such a question and advocacy? No Communists on the Faculty A I know of no Communist on the faculty of the University. I under stand that two or three of our faculty voted for Norman Thomas for Presi dent, and that one was active in his behalf. This minority, however small, have the same rights as the great ma jority who are Democrats and Repub licans in about the usual southern proportions. I will conduct no inquisi tion about this or limit their basic academic freedom, but rather will con tinue to champion their political and civil liberties under the American, bill of rights. Proposal Banned By Soviet Government Q It has been charged that you sponsored a Summer school of Ameri can college students in Moscow in 1935 to permit the students to study Communistic government in opera tion, this being under the idea of academic freedom: but your critics have said that you discouraged the participation of college students in the Olympic games in Berlin the next year, because this would put them in too close contact with the Nazi system. If the charges are true, please show the consistency of the two positions. A The Summer school planned to be held at the University of Moscow under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for Peace and Interna tional Education was forbidden by the Russian government to be held. I was a member of the advisory committee, along with President Hutchins of Chi cago, President Neillsen of Smith college, and President Aydelotte of Swarthmore. The permanent commit tee in charge of setting up University study centers in all the principal capi tals and university centers of the world to promote peace and interna tional understanding was composed of such men as the late lamented Dwight Morrow, Nicholas Murray Butler, and Director Duggan of "the Carnegie Foundation for International Educa tion. International Student Centers were established in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Vienna, and Geneva, but was forbidden in Moscow! Despite the fact that we fell under the ban of. the Communist government, and despite the fact that a terrible war has come again, the work of the Carnegie Endow ment for Peace and International Understanding must go on in the spirit of Him who came to bring "peace on earth and , goodwill among men." I did oppose, along with thousands of other Americans, the participation of Americans in the Olympic games in Berlin, simply as a protest against the German persecution of Jews, Catho lics, and independent Protestant re ligious leaders. Dr. Ericson Friend ! Of the Under Son The name of Dr. E. E. Ericson, pro fessor of literature, frequently is mentioned, as a "radical" (presum ably a Communist) and as one who ad vocates "radical" doctrines in his classes. Is this true? Do you consider his quite famous luncheon with the Negro Communist Candidate Ford in Durham some years ago as disconnect ed with hi3 obligation at the Univer sity? A Professor E. E. Ericson is the professor who actively supported Norman Thomas for President. He is a leading American scholar in the field of old English and has been voted by students to be one of the best teachers in the University. He is by nature and conviction a champion of the under dog, yet maintains his scholastic work with a distinction recognized in his field all over the nation. The Negro Communist with THE DAILY CPU to Complete Membership Today The Carolina Political union will complete election of next year's offi cers and choose coed members this afternoon at 5 o'clock. The secre tary and treasurer remain to be chos en. whom he ate supper in Durham was his classmate at Johns Hop kins university. He had eaten with him there as part of his graduate study routine. The Durham epi sode was not an intentional flout ing of southern customs. As a Southerner who was in position to understand him, I took a stand against his dismissal for this recognized indiscretion, remem bering that "the greatest Teacher suffered crucifixion because he taught that all men were brothers and sons of God. Explains Giving Bond For Labor Leader Q Charges have been made that you attempted to use your influence as President of theTJniversity to se cure the release of a certain labor leader named Lawrence in High Point some years ago, though he was leading one of the now discarded "fry ing squadron" methods of the labor movement. This has only an indirect bearing on teachings at the Univer sity, but will you kindly explain it? A Yes it is true that, when I learned on Pawley's Island, S. C, that Alton Lawrence was held in jail in High Point as a strike leader, I wired him that I would go on his bond. I would do the same thing again. I would do the same thing for any other student or alumnus or human being, for that matter, so held in jail with no one to go on his bond. Alton Law rence, the son of a North Carolina Presbyterian minister, is the highest type of sincere and active Christian. He was a night school teacher and be lieved in the right of laborers to or ganize and act lawfully for their bet ter interests. He opposed violence and disorder. He was innocent of the charges. The court records at High Point show that the case, against him was dismissed. I did not use my in fluence as President of the University. In fact, the judge in High Point re fused to honor the telegram and a former president of the North Caro lina Bankers Association advanced the money for me. Supported Finns And Republican Spain Q You are charged with advocat ing assistance to the Communistic Loyalists in the Spanish civil war, but with making no move to aid the Demo cratic Finns when Russia recently in vaded that country. Please explain your position in both cases. A Yes, I advocated fair treatment to the Spanish Republic. The Demo cratic nations withheld needed sup plies from the struggling Spanish de mocracy while Hitler and Mussolini poured in men and munitions with crushing power. I opposed America's getting into the Spanish war, but I joined in the request that the demo cratically founded young Spanish Re public be accorded its due rights under international law. One of the chief blunders of the Chamberlain govern ment was to sell out the Spanish de mocracy to Hitler and Mussolini. This is now acknowledged in all demo cratic nations, including Great Brit ain. I have taken as many stands for Finland as for Spain and Czecho slovakia, and also made my small contributions in both words and money in behalf of the Finns. I also supported to the best of my ability the American loan to Fin land and wanted it increased. The Southern Conference For Human Welfare Q The city council of Birmingham is reported to have adopted a resolu tion asking the Southern Conference of Human Welfare, of which you were president, not to hold further meetings in that city this growing out of a Conference resolution condemning Birmingham's race segregation or dinances. A somewhat similar con tra versy came up recently at the Con ference meeting in Chattanooga. Will you comment ? A The Southern Conference for Human Welfare is led and financed by such Southerners as Barry Bingham, owner and publisher of the Louisville Courier Journal, and son of Norjth Carolina's own Robert Bingham; Donald Comer, textile manufacturer of Birmingam, Ala.; Lucy Mason of Virginia, Clark Howell Foreman of Atlanta, Mark Etheridge, Pulitzer prize winner while editor of the Macon Telegraph, Dr. H. C. Nixon, Stanton Smith, William Mitch, Maury Maver ick, Judge Louise Charlton, President Patterson of Tuskeegee, and Rufus Clement, president of Atlanta univer sity. It is sponsored by Methodist and Episcopal bishops, many college presidents,, labor and agricultural leaders, and representative men and TAR Varsity Baseball ".Continued from page three) which forced Browning in. Then he walked Topkins, . scoring Rich. My ers was thrown out at home when Radman took a fielder's choice. Stirn weiss walked, forcing Cheshire in with another run. About this time Pro thro, a football player, went to the mound to do his bit for , Duke or, more properly, Carolina. Mallory singled and Topkins and Radman brought the total runs to 15 for UNC. Inning seven, with five walks and a passed ball, miraculously gave Car olina but one more run, this by Rich, who walked, advanced on more walks, and scored when Radman was walked. The eighth was more like old times. Every batter, nine of 'em, scored one run apiece while Bortz and Carey pitched giving eight walks and two hits. Duke went into the final play per iod with only one run and two hits. The boys seemed tired, discouraged. But Cheshire, long overdue for sup per, grew lenient and helped the poor Devils out while thinking of food. He walked Crash Davis, Price, and Schlear to load the bags. Next he cracked the ball into Cary's ribs, giv ing that, gentleman first base and forcing Davis home. Pierce, on a freak play, got an infield hit, scoring Price. That, was all, and quite enough for Duke. Those lads were smart enough to save their only pitcher, Weaver, for action in one of the remaining games. Mock didn't get a chance to warm up today, and likely will be used in the night game at Greens boro Saturday. Either Benton or Cheshire will work that engagement for Carolina, The second game begins at 8 o'clock Saturday night; with the final tilt here Monday afternoon.

It is en dorsed by William Green, John L. Lewis and Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is an interracial confer ence. "According to the long es tablished custom in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennes see the two races sit in such a conference without segregation as to seats. Bishop Penick, Gov ernor Hoey, and former President W. L. Poteat presided , over or spoke to North Carolina Inter racial Conferences so unsegre gated as to seating and discus sion. The Southern Conference is new, not in that it is South wide and comes to grips on a re gional basis with movements to build up the whole South through reduction of discriminations in freight rates, abolition of the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting, the promotion of interracial under standing and goodwill, industrial and agricultural development, federal aid to the states for edu cation, and the advancement of the life of all who work and live in the South. In Birmingham last year, segrega tion was required and observed under a municipal statute. In Chattanooga this year, it was not required. The conference had sessions of high se riousness and goodwill in behalf of building up the South on all fronts. Superintendent W. A. Sutton, veteran and beloved superintendent of the pub lic schools of Atlanta, who participat ed actively in the conference, pro nounced the conference a movement of high hope and promise for the future of the whole South. . -. Our platform is not to tear down one another but to build up the life and hopes of all here and everywhere.

Mansum St. Golf - ; - (Continued from page three) which so limited the Tar Heels that they reached their peak only a few days before the season closed. .With snow on the greens right up to the second week in April, the locals got their first strong workout over the Southern intercollegiate tourney course at Athens. Unfortunately, that excursion was listed on the slate, and the Tar Heels got credit for finish ing in sixth place. Five days later an impotent Maryland team fell by 8-, with Al Carr and. Frosty Snow taking off medal honors. Vir ginia's consistently-strong outfit held Carolina to a 4-4 tie in a match played in rain and partial darkness, and the next day Navy dropped a 6-2 tUt with Neal Herring lead ing the way. ' Back on home soil, the Chapel Hill ians reached their best form of the year in repulsing Georgia, 12-5, after gaining only a half -point at the turn. Hudson Boyd was medalist this time. The following day Erickson's hopes forlfame were put back on the shelf for at least another year when Duke triumphed, 10-7. Frosty Snow got blanked by Chuck Alexan der, but was still tops for the Tar Heels. Just as the Virginia game is an anti-climax after a grid meeting with the Blue Devils, so is a links event with Davidson. The 'Cats held Carolina to a 9-all stalemate. Charlie Diffendal and Snow are re turning for another crack at Duke, and these two, plus reserves and a promising crop of freshmen may turn the trick of vanquishing the Durham ites next year. Madelyn Zeigler (Continued from fttet page) plaining she had dropped out of school to do radio work and take screen tests in Chicago. The two K dormitory Lochinvars wired her for pictures. She wired back that fiancial rea sons wouldn't let her come after all. Then Ottway and William told her to come anyhow, "expenses no object." Miss Zeigler reconsidered. For several days the United States'5 Postal service, Western Union, and the Bell Telephone company did an un usual amount of business between Chapel Hill and Chicago. Beerman and Burton were further intrigued when Madelyn's photogenic likeness appeared on the front cover of Varsity, a new college magazine. An accompanying write-up told how she had kissed the "ugliest man" at the University of Illinois for a public ity stunt, after she had been chosen queen of the Sophomore Cotillion or something. The boys saw the proposition grow by leaps and bounds, while the Junior-Seniors drew closer. Both had other dates for the dances but didn't exactly know how to wiggle out of the "All-American Import" mess. This wire finally arrived from Miss Zeigler: HAVE FRACTURED AN KLE STOP AM IN HOSPITAL STOP CAN'T COME STOP SORRY STOP. Said Burton and Beerman, "It's very embarrassing, stop."

The club, which released its new membership list about two weeks ago, is dedicated to the promotion of the University and sponsors a series of pep rallies each year. The University club was responsible for the huge pep rally held before the Duke game at which Kay Kyser took part. Members are selected each year by the old mem bers on the basis of their character, leadership and ability. Softball Game (Continued from first page) or somebody.
