Minor Arrives
Tomorrow
For Speech
CPU To Present
Communist Leader
Robert Minor, assistant secretary of
the Communist party, will arrive in
Chapel Hill tomorrow morning to give
the first Carolina Political Union
speech of the year tomorrow night at
8:30 in Memorial hall.
During the day Minor will tour the
campus with CPU officials seeing as
much of the University as possible dur
ing his stay here. Interviews will be
granted throughout the day.
Topic of the speech will be "Victory
through Unity." Minor, , having been
connected with labor activities for the
past 25 years will be well "qualified to
speak on such a vital issue as winning
the war," said Dick Railey, CPU chair
man. - .
Preceding the speech at 6 o'clock,
will be a banquet for members of the
Union and Minor at the Carolina Inn,
at which Minor will make a short
speech. Since his connection with the
Communist party, Minor has served as
general secretary during the period in
which Browder was jailed on a pass
port charge, and has run for governor
of New York and the Mayor of New
York city.
At the regular CPU meeting Sunday
night the topic of discussion will be in
troduced by Bart Logan of High Point,
secretary of the Communist party of
North Carolina. Logan was instru
mental in getting Minor to appear in
Chapel Hill during his present tour of
the South.
Minor's leading role as a fighter for
labor was played between 1916 and
1941 while Tom Mooney, a Californian,
was jailed in San Quentin prison. Minor
exposed the "glaring frauds in the con
viction and condemnation" of Mooney
and organized the nationwide move
ment of trade unions of the American
Federation of Labor for his defense.
When Mooney was released under the
administration of Floyd Olson, Minor
met him at the prison gate.

The parade of football upsets continued yesterday as many of the nation's
top flight teams went down to defeat at the hands of spirited opposition.
Mighty Minnesota continued on the decline as they lost to a surprising In
diana team, 7-0. Wisconsin, another Big Nine title contender, was reduced
to even footing with Ohio State after being defeated by Iowa, 6-0. The Buck
eyes ran all over the field to chalk up 59 points against Pittsburgh's 19. Even
the return of Otto Graham could not raise Northwestern into the winning
ranks, and they came off the field at the short end of a 14-7 contest against
the Fighting Illini.
Outside the conference, Notre Dame defeated the Army, 13-0, in New York
before an overflow crowd of 75,000. Bertilli continued to show that he is a
definite candidate for All-American by playing a superb game. Michigan, in
vading the East, walked away with an easy 35-7 victory over Harvard.
In the Southeastern conference, Georgia continued its undefeated streak
by swamping Florida, 75-0. Again the great Sinkwich was the star of the
game, connecting many times with his passes. Georgia Tech also remained
undefeated as it won over Kentucky, 47-7. Alabama, playing at home, handed
South Carolina the worst drubbing it has received this year as the Crimson
Td took the contest, 29-0. Louisiana State University successfully invaded
N York taking the Fordham Rams, 26-13. In an intra-conference game
Vanderbilt'drubbed Mississippi, 19-0, while Mississippi State sent Tulane back

CHARLOTTE MEMORIAL
STADIUM, Nov. 7. Flashing a
deadly running and passing at
tack, a determined Carolina elev
en gave its greatest offensive
performance of the season here
today in riding roughshod over
a game but outclassed Davidson
team, 43-14. The high-scoring
contest, played before a crowd of
10,000 fans, was for the benefit
of the Observer Fresh Air Fund.
The Tar Heels, tearing the Davidson
line to shreds and dazzling the second
ary with an excellent aerial attack,
started fast. They scored a pair of
touchdowns early in the first quarter
and another in the second to lead 20-0
at half-time.
Davidson attempted a comeback in
the second half, scoring soon after the
kickoff, but Coach Tatum's powerful
grid outfit hit paydirt again as soon as
Carolina got the ball. George Peters
sparked the Wildcats to another touch
down at the opening of the final period,
but the Tar Heels continued to domi
nate the play the rest of the way, rack
ing up two more quick touchdowns and
a safety.
Aggressive Play --:
Playing aggressively and spiritedly,
the entire Carolina squad gave a great
display of football prowess. The Tar
Heels proved that they do boast a con
summate passing attack with Shot Cox,
Billy Myers and Johnny Pecora doing
most of the heaving. Bill Sigler, start
ing at fullback for the first time, was
a one-man demolition machine as he
ripped through the Davidson forward
wall for first down after first down.
J oe Austin starred on his specialty, the
reverse, scoring once by that method.
Shot Cox gave an inkling of what

Bierman Discusses Cuts
In Engraving Materials
By Sam Whitehall
Answering question most puzzling
battered publications men, Everett C.
Bierman of the Charlotte Engraving
Co. yesterday released a statement of
upsetting pertinence concerning use of
engraving metals in student publi
cations. The Charlotte Engraving company
handles the Yackety-Yack contract in
addition to numerous yearbooks
throughout the Carolinas. Bierman
stated first that all engravers cut 30
per cent in copper based on con
sumption during the last quarter of
1940. "We also understand," he said,
"that zinc will be cut to 50 per cent."
"I can only speak for the publica
tions for which we are doing business
and you can rest assured that they
are all being cut in the number of
square inches of copper that they have
used in the past. When you ask
whether, or not we suggest a cut in
engraving, there is only one answer
to that. It is not a question of our
suggesting it; it is a matter of engravers-
already being cut "and before
the end of 1943 it will be cut even
more."
To clear up the problem of whether
school engraving could be done before
January or even immediately after,
Bierman said, "We cannot guarantee
anything. The WPB has complete
control over critical materials, of
which zinc and copper are at the head
of the list. The fate of all publishers,
not only educational, but magazines,
annuals, newspapers, etc., is in the
hands of the War Production Board
in regard to engraving."
Not mentioned so far, he pointed
out, is that it would be well to say
something about the paper situation.
There is no shortage of paper, but
there is a critical shortage of trans
portation and manpower energy.
"I do not think that you can be at
all sure of the amount of paper that
you will be allowed to use for publi
cations. It seems that we are using
as a pattern the existing laws of Great
Britain and Canada. Some magazines
in those nations have been reduced
from 64 pages to 32, and smaller type
face is being used, and smaller illus
trations. "The experience that Great Britain
and Canada have had is being used, I
am afraid, as a basis for the United
States; however, there is nothing defi
nite in regard to this, but I feel it
should be kept in mind," Bierman con
cluded. The effects that .such exigencies as
enumerated by the Charlotte Engrav
ing Co. representative would of course
result in slashes both in size and cost
of Carolina publications.
