UNC Delegates To Attend Meet Of Welfare Group The twenty-third annual meeting of the Public Welfare institute held each vear for North Carolina county super- Vf .intendents of Public Welfare and their staffs, will get under way tomorrow Thursday. Since 1920 when the Institute was founded by Dr. Odum, head of the So ciology department, all meetings were neld in Chapel Hill, but due to the housing shortage, this year's meeting will take place in the state capitol with an expected registration of 400. The majority of the Sociology and Social Work faculty of the. University is planning to attend at least part of the three-day session, and approxi mately 30 University student workers will be in attendance. The primary purpose of the meeting i3 the discussion of topics of interest and practical value to the various workers. Among the most interesting subjects for discussion will be: "The Relation of Public Welfare Agencies to the War Effort", "Child Welfare." and "The Spiritual Aspects of Social Work." Many outstanding out-of-state speakers will be present at the meet ing, including A. H. Aronson, Chief of the Technical Advisory Service, Social Security Board in Washington, D.

Hiden Ramsey Parker Eyed For New Post Alumnus May Join Supreme Court With the resignation of Justice James F. Byrnes from the Supreme Court in order to lead the fight against inflation, another Carolinian, Judge John J. Parker, was being considered as a possible appointee to the vacant seat in the nation's highest tribunal. Judge Parker, since his graduation from the University in 1907, has fash ioned for himself one of the finest rec ords, in both private and public life, of any of Carolina's alumni. In 1920, Judge Parker first entered state politics, running for governor on the Republican ticket. Although de feated, the public prominence gained during his campaigning combined with his outstanding legal ability, brought him to Washington in 1923 as special assistant to the Attorney General. Two years later, Calvin Coolidge appointed Parker federal judge for the 4th Circuit Court. In his years on the bench, he has become widely known throughout North Carolina and the na tion. If Judge Parker receives the nomina tion, it will not be his first. During the Administration of Herbert Hoover he was appointed to fill a Supreme Court vacancy, but the Senate, by one vote, refused to ratify the nomination. When Byrnes' new position was an nounced, many papers in the east im mediately started the campaign to send Judge Parker to Washington. Stated the Charlotte Observer, "Judge Parker should have priority ratine with President Roosevelt in naming a successor to Byrnes . . .(The Supreme Court does not possess legal minds among its members the superior of that of John Parker . . . forward looking, constitutional lawyer." "He (Parker) is highly regarded by the Administration for a long line of liberal decisions," commented the in fluential Washington Post. mm K mm Education Committee Plans Greater Campus War Effort Plans for further expansion of an already extensive program of nation wide educational service were discus sed early this week in Washington at a meeting of the executive committee of the National University Extension Association which was attended by R. M. Grumman, director of the UNC ex tension division and last year's presi dent of the national association. The purpose of the meting was to explore channels in which the colleges and universities may be of additional service in the war effort. The commit tee conferred with representatives of such governmental agencies as the Of fice of War Information, the Off ice of Education, the Department of Agri culture and the Office of Civilian De fense. Elmer Davis, director of the Of fice of War Information, Lyman Bry son, acting assistant director of the Office of War Information, and Miss Hilda Smith, head of the WPA Work er's Educational Service were among 'Dramatics Aid War Program Says Lt. Gray CDA Heads Agree At Conclave Here The place of the dramatist in war time in the opinion of JNorth Carolina drama directors gathered at the Uni versity here yesterday was generally summed up by an Army officer who said that both the professional and the ama teur theater "should not ask nor at tempt to live a life apart from the na tional effort." Addressing the annual Directors Conference of the Carolina Dramatic Association, Lieut Arthur Coe Gray of Camp Butner, formerly head of the Furman university department of dra matic art, declared the theater's surest guarantee of existence after peace has come, its only chance of remaining a force in the creative life of this country, is to cooperate to the utmost in keeping alive the desire men have for that which is beautiful, regardless of the nature of their tasks today. "Today we are learning the brutal ways of war," he pointed out. "But those ways can be forgotten if, after we achieve a successful peace, there still remains in us a love for that which is good." In agreement was Paul Green, the playwright, who told the group that the world can only further its quest and progress towards beauty and cre ative art by first obtaining a peace that will give men the freedom to continue the search. Green compared the Nazi and the democratic views of art and pointed out that democracy is the source of esthe tic endeavor and furtherance of indi vidual expression, while the German idea is that man is valuable only in pro portion to his value to the state as a whole. Dr. Frederick H. Koch, head of the department of dramatic art and di rector of the Carolina Playmakers, de clared the theater and the creative arts "are more important today than they have ever been before." Pointing out that Broadway reports its most promising season in 10 years and calling attention to the landslide moving picture business, he said "the dramatist, through his understanding and imagination, can translate our feelings about the events of life today in concrete images and the eternal truth . . . We must continue in the work of training young people for the new world in the making, for we believe that the kingdom of humanity is evolv- ing a new and larger unity- freedom under the law for every human being." E. H. Edinger, Richmond, Va., Re- gional Director of the USO, said "ap preciation of and participation in dra matics by men in the armed forces has been found by the USO to be invaluable See DRAMATICS, page U those with whom the committee dealt. Biggest topic under discussion -was the distribution of war films produced by governmental agencies. Such films, and those along numerous educational lines, are available to students and the general public at the extension de partments of universities and colleges throughout the nation. (The UNC ex tension, located in Phillips Hall, has a library of 575 films, Which may be bor rowed upon request of students or resi dents in the state.) The committee is drafting a bill to be introduced during this session of Congress for governmental appropri ations to help subsidize extension pro grams of the nation's 56 universities and colleges which sponsor them. ' As a result of the meeting, Grumman said, "our program will undoubtedly be expanded and will be more closely allied with the war ief f ort."

Student Cooperation Vital To Success of Scrap Drive Campus salvage committees, spearheaded by Larry Berluti and Bob Spence, scanned Chapel Hill from top "top the Old Well with scrap." The rapidly growing scrap pile took on bigger proportions with the addition of a whole truck load early Saturday morning. It now boasts of a kitchen stove, among the other widely assorted household articles. Next on the list of objectives is an old boiler which salvage men have arranged to get. Following that, thef removal of an old furnace is being con templated if the committee members can get enough help from the students. According to a statement from cam pus chairman Bob Spence, "the scrap already collected has passed the 6,000 pound mark. This, however is not enough. In order to cover the bin and reach the roof of the Old Well we need at least 15,000 pounds of metal." "What I want to see," said one com mittee member, "is the students bring ing the scrap in purely as a patriotic duty, without the emphasis that is now placed on the show tickets." The drive according to salvage com-: mittee chairmen will last into next week with the amount of scrap collected being the determining factor as to its length. "There is still scrap available in Chapel Hill, scrap enough to com pletely cover the bin and flow into the street. Let's get it," said Betty Ster chi, coed chairman of the scrap drive. With such energy and enthusiasm on the parts of the committee members and the impressive score of the University starting at us, we're just got to some through," said Floyd Cohoon, chairman of the fraternity group. "Greatest factor in assuring the com plete success of the drive is still the student body," said Spence. "If it co operates we should go far above the goal we have set for ourselves. With out cooperation the drive will be at best, a partial success." There has been some confusion as to See SCRAP, page 4 Major MacLendon Presents CVTC Colors Tomorrow The CVTC will be recognized in ceremony by the University for the first time tomorrow when Major L.

This program will not be broadcast but the broadcast will start with next Sunday Session," Hatch saidyesterday. Designing Runs Rampant Throughout New Theatre Under direction of decorator H. F. Ragsdale, Chapel Hill is seeing its first large-scale modernistic designing in the new Carolina Theatre opening next Thursday night. The new playhouse's colonial front, necessary under a town statute, ends at the doors. Outsides of the doors are in colonial style with brass hardware. But the other sides of the same deors are modernistic, with chromium hard ware. A spacious lobby-lounge will be filled with deep divans a'nd modernistic ta bles. Walls, specially finished with eight coats of paint, will flourish mir rors and modernistic panels. Upstairs will be a ladies' powder room, men's lounge, a two-room mana ger's office, projection room, two sup ply rooms and a large storage room. Two drinking fountains have been in stalled at the top of two side stairways. NC Defens Stops Rams Throughout Highsmith, Pupa Strayhorn Star By Westy Fenhagen Special to the DTH from New York POLO GROUNDS, Oct. 10 Before 20,000 roaring fans, a good percent age of them Carolina students, the Tar Heels today put up a brilliant defensive struggle to hold the favored Fordham Rams to a scoreless dead lock. The Rams threatened again and again only to have the sturdy forward wall of the Tar Heels break through to stall the powerful ram attack. The alert Tar Heel defensive played heads up ball all the way and forced the Rose Hill boys to fumble several times. Dramatic Climax The dramatic climax to the tense struggle came in the fading moments of the final quarter as the Rams, un loading a last ditch attempt to score, roared to the Tar Heel 3-yard stripe with seconds to play. Here Joe Ososki, who played a superb game in the Fordham backfield all day, tried a placement from the ten, but the ball went wild and the game ended with out another play. A long pass from Flip Filipowicz, who threw aerials at the Tar Heels all afternoon, to Malinowski set up this last try for a score. Filipowicz faded way back to his own 32 and arched a long aerial down the field to the fleet Malinowski who caught the ball on the Tar Heel 30 and raced to the 22 before Go-Captain Joe Aus tin pulled him down from behind. The Rams then plowed their way to the three before the try for a field goal failed. 1 The Tar Heels couldn't get any sus tained drive underway during the en tire afternoon and were forced to re main on the defensive. Late in the fourth quarter, the Tar Heels started a drive from their own 40 which re sulted in two consecutive first downs but after two successive aerials had hit home for 25 yards and a first down on the Fordham 37, the alert Fordham secondary intercepted a Cox pass and the only Tar Heel threat ended there. Filipowicz Stars The playing of Filipowicz who con tinually ran. and passed the Rams to consistent gains was particularly out standing. The entire Tar Heel team played hard smashing football with sophomores Chan Highsmith, Ralph Strayhorn and Walt Pupa particular ly outstanding. They combined to stall every Fordham offensive just when it seemed the Rams were going to score. During the third quarter the Rams held the ball the entire time and it was the brilliant stands of the tired Carolina team that saved the day and gave the Tar Heels their second tie with the Rams in their five-game series. , Fordham won toss and elected to kick to Carolina. Austin returned the kickoff to the Tar Heel 33 yard stripe where the Tar Heels started to work. Croom ran for four yards off tackle and then carried again for first down See RAMS MISS, page 3 The auditorium will contain 1,141 seats.
