Erwin, staff cor respondent for the Greensboro Daily News reported Sunday that Dr. Gra ham had been offered a high federal position, said it might be the Secretary ship of Labor and that, "this can" not be confirmed." .... Dr. Graham was asked, "Have you any statement to make regarding Mr. Erwin's report Sunday moraing in the Greensboro Daily News?" .

Erwin reported that news of the President's offer did not "leak" out. He stated that both the President and Dr. Graham kept "close counsel", and that Dr. Graham discussed it with only his few closest friends, "and very few of them," Erwin added. "This informa tion comes from an impeachable source," Erwin said.

Private Investigation Former DTH Editor Conducts Army Morale Editor's Note: Don Bishop who was editor of the Daily Tar Heel last year, was recently drafted into the army. By Private Don Bishop FT. BRAGG, Oct. 6 The magazine article said morale in the army is bad; so the writer went investigating. He is too busy in daylight hours learning to be a soldier himself to ask any fellow soldier, who is also busy, how his morale is. So the writer went investigating at night. Battalion recreation halls collect a great potpourri of soldiers. So here would be a cross-section of soldierdom in which to measure morale. Three Tecreation halls, part of the many erected by the army here in the Ft. Bragg field artillery replacement cen ter and wherever it has training camps, were included in the tour.

Whatever their morale, these soldiers looked too contented for inter ference.
