Welcome Institute Visitors Students at the University of North Carolina extend a cordial welcome to city, county and state officials who .will be on the cam pus this Saturday attending" the Institute of Government's fifth biennial program on Interpretation and Discussion of Laws. We feel that these officials are a definite part of the University, and that it is through their eforts that we are able to look with pride upon the oldest State University in America. Over the past 10 years, the University has made wonderful progress ; progress that will in years to come increase the wealth and prosperity of the Old North State to unlimited amounts. - Carolina students consider it an honor , to have 'John W. Mc Cormack, majority leader of the House of Representatives, and fiovprnor J. Melville Brourfiton. together with members of the North Carolina delegation in the House of Representatives, and other city, county, and state officials on the campus. During the past two weeks student body leaders have been working with AI bert Coates, Institute director, in an effort to make their stay most pleasant. The Institute of Government and Carolina stu dents are closely related. The Institute grew out of a University class room, and from the beginning its purpose was to bridge the ap between law and government as taught in the schools and ak practiced in city halls, county court houses, state departments, and federal agencies within the state. It is the Institute's pur pose to balance all governmental methods, techniques, and prac tices so that the poorest will be raised to the level of the best. Ten years ago city, county and state officials recognized stu dent government as actual government and placed them on the same level. Student leaders, more than ever, began to realize that college government was no longer child's play. With the help of the Institute, it has made wonderful strides. Today it is on par or better than the average city government in the state. Present student body leaders realize that state officials have been a great aid. Their work has been invaluable. They are wel come to visit at any time, but this week-end they have a most cor dial invitation to be present. Elaborate plans have been made for them, and Carolina students hope that their city, county, and state officials will come to Chapel Hill on Saturday.

Brouffhton Praises Work Of Institute Governor Notes Service Coates Has Rendered To State By Paul Komisaruk The $50,000 government building that opened on East Franklin street a year and a half ago didn't mark the "beginning." Nine years before, Professor Albert Coates during the rockbottom depres sion years organized his "university for public officials," and as its significance grew, the Institute of Government moved into new quarters, and the lean years were over. Organized to instruct law enforce ment officers, and to discuss and work out common governmental problems, tie Institute's recognition and popu larity reached surprising heights. Praised bj Governor Echoing popular sentiment, Govern or J. Melville Broughton recently de &red that the Institute has "rendered the state of North Carolina great ser vice in respect to matters of law en forcement and to other essential gov ernmental processes. "Its usefulness," he explained, "has eea demonstrated in a hundred differ- . . . t- . .s . '. y ; - 's J. Melville Broughton ent ways, and the state at large has ac claimed its constructive achievements in the public interest." The Governor pointed out that "at this crucial time" in our state and na tional life the work of the Institute is even more important than ever be fore. Holding to his original idea of pro viding better training for law enforce ment officers, and the exchange of ideas between them, Professor Coates has made possible the "crystallization of a higher and finer public sentiment, and, all are important at this time," the Governor remarked. Pages out of recent history disclose the upsurge and importance that the Institute has played. ". . . The State looks to the Institute to give leader ship in these essential undertakings. . . . Every county and municipality will do well to encourage the fullest co operation in the work of the Institute," and more significant than most of these "In law enforcement, and in law observance the Institute is render ing its contribution towards the en hancement and preservation of democ racy in North Carolina and in Amer ica." Governor Broughton. Lefty Cheshire Gives Six Hits, Fans 11 Cadets Carolina Rallies In Seventh Frame To Take Contest By Harry Hollingsworth John Lewis "Lefty" Cheshire end ed his second year as the star pitcher for the Tar Heels baseball team by hurling Carolina to the Southern con ference baseball title here yesterday afternoon with a masterful six-hit, 3-2 pitching performance over Vir ginia Military institute. The victory left the Tas Heels a half game in front of Duke in the con ference standings and gave them their first loop title since 1933. Carolina won 11 games and lost three in the conference while Duke was winning 10 and losing three. Giving one of his best pitching- per formances of the season, Lefty kept the Cadets well in hand until the sev enth inning when a hit, two errors, a fielder's choice and a wild pitch let in all the VMI runs. Cheshire fanned 11 men and had hi3 best control of the season. He walk ed four batters. -Pitching easily the early part of the game, he only bore down with his fast ball in the pinches. VMI collected six hits off his delivery, but each hit was in a different inning. The victory left Cheshire with a record of five wins and two losses for the season. While Lefty was holding the Vir ginia team in check, Carolina was un able to. do much' with the -hurling of Rufe Spessard, curve ball artist for the VMI team. Mike Bobbitt collect ed a hit in the first inning, but after that singleton, Carolina was held hit less until Bobbitt again singled home the first run in the sixth inning. In the seventh and eighth innings the Tar Heels collected four more hits two in each inning. The seventh inning rally produced the runs for the winning margin.

' By United Press -:V ;. LONDON, Sunday British broad casts to Germany tonight claimed that Rudolph Hess flew, to Britain in a com mandeered "mystery plane" while gov ernment leaders and other prominent speakers took the stump to denounce the number three Nazi as "a half-dozen kinds of a scoundrel." The claims that Hess had flown here in a "mystery plane," the remains of which are now under the minute exam ination of British experts, was made in BBC programs beamed to Germany. These broadcasts claimed that . the plane has not yet been put into service by the Luftwaffe and that it is a new type of long distance reconnaissance machine. The Hess case seemed to be breed ing more mysteries as it went along. A statement by "reliable sources" that the Duke of Hamilton was a victim of mistaken identity, that Hess actually confused him with someone else, pos sibly the Duke of Buccleach, was made.
