Stilwell Dies
In Hospital
After Illness
'Vinegar Joe' Led
Men in Both Wars
San Francisco, Oct. 12-(UP) A
great American and a great soldier
is dead tonight.
The nation is mourning1 the death
of General Joseph Stilwell, veteran of
two wars and familiar for his role in
the China-Burma battles.
The acid-tongued "Vinegar Joe,"
beloved by his GI's as a leader and a
fighter died this afternoon of an in
curable liver ailment, an illness he
contracted in the Pacific.
Died in Ward
Stilwell died in an ordinary ward
at the Letterman General Hospital
to the last, scorning special comforts
and priviliges just as he scorned .
them during the bitter battle of Bur
ma. And so the wiry, 63 year old
soldier passed away in the true demo
cratic fashion which was the creed he
lived by a creed which endeared him
to his fellow fighting men, Srom the
private up. In fact, his staff often
joked at '"Vinegar J oe" even had a way
with Second Lieutenants.
The leather skinned fighter's driv
ing tactics and biting tongue set the
pattern for the eventual victory in the
C-B-I.
Unable to Agree
General Stilwell and Chiang Kai
Shek were unable to agree on problems
of the C-B-I, a disagreement which
led President Roosevelt to recall Stil
well in 1944 at the request of the
Chinese Generalissimo.
Stilwell was named commanding
general of the army ground forces
shortly after his recall to the U.S. and
then late last year, after returning
from his command of the American
Tenth Army on Okinawa, he was
named head of the western . defense.
But when the War Department an
nounced its reorganizaiton plan,
"Vinegar Joe" was placed in command
of the re-activated Sixth Army. And
it was this post which he held at the
time of his death.

epresentatives from State Colleges
Will Meet Here Today to Air Problems
Central Campus Office for College Veterans
May Be Possible Outcome of Special Meeting
Student veteran representatives from all North Carolina col
leges will meet in Gerrard hall this afternoon at 2 o'clock to dis
cuss cooperation on common issues among the various college vet
eran organizations, with establishment of a central student veteran
office in Chapel Hill seen as a possible outcome of the meeting.
UVA president Jim Chesnut said
Wallace Will Return
To Publishing Field
Washington, Oct. 12 (UP) Henry
Wallace is going back to the publish
ing field. The former Secretary of
Commerce announces tonight that on
December 16th he will become editor
of the liberal weekly magazine, "The
New Republic." And he promises that
when he takes over the job, he will
do everything he can to arouse the
liberal minded people of the world to
the need of stopping what he calls,
"the dangerous armaments race."
j he has invited thirty colleges and ju
nior colleges of the state to send rep
resentatives to the meeting. Twelve
schools have accepted and are sending
two or more delegates, he said.
Chesnut to State Plan
Chesnut plans to place before the
meetiner a resolution to establish a
central office to aid in "cooperation
without affiliation" among the college
veteran organizations. Operating with
a paid staff this office would issue a
weekly bulletin informing all members
of the activities of other veterans' or
ganizations. It would also serve as a
coordinating point on common issues
such as drives to better housing, rent
and food conditions in college towns.
Although none of the larger schools,
including State, Wake Forest and
Duke, have replied to the invitation,
Chesnut said he expects their repre
sentatives to be present since he dis
cussed the project with them during
the summer at the time they sent a
joint delegation asking Governor
Cherry to take measures to ease the
college housing situation and to hold
dormitory rents down.
In event the colleges send several
representatives each, the meeting will
be moved to Memorial hall.
CPU Will Discuss
Baruch's Report

of the year the Carolina Political
Union will convene at 8 o'clock tonight

ruch's proposals, including the Soviet
counter proposals and ex-Commerce
Secretary Henry A. Wallace's objec
tions will also be duscussed. Anatole
Volkov, vice-chairman of the Union,
will present the introduction to the
topic.
The meeting, which will take place
in the Grail room, is open and visitors
are encouraged to come and to partici
pate in the discussion. In view of the
crowd which was present last week
both members and visitors are re
quested to be prompt in their arrival.
The CPU, which recently raised its
membership quota from twenty-five to
thirty, has approximately seven va
cancies.

Carolina Gentlemen Thrill
Visitors from Greensboro
By Arnold Schulman
At the football game yester
day, section five of Kenan sta
dium was said to look more like
section eight in an Army hos
pital, as 350 chesty-sweatered fe
males from WCUNC drenched
Carolina with cheering bobby
soxed beauty and open datebooks
for future weekends.
As the game started the section re
served for the Greensboro students
resembled a national sorority conven
tion, but as quarters passed the repu
tation of Carolina gentlemen proved
to be no myth. By the end of the third
quarter section five was occupied by
more couples than the arboretum on
a clear night.
"Gosh"
One .WC visitor put down her bag
of peanuts for a moment to make a
statement that seemed to summarize
the situation. "Gosh!" she said, then
began cracking nuts again.
A more talkative Greensboro Miss
when asked her opinion of UNC said,
"After living with 3,000 meowing girls
for two years' Carolina's just like para
dise. I didn't know so many men ex
isted. , Oh, brother, to be a Carolina
coed!"
. Stay in Greensboro
A Carolina coed when torn away
from the six dates she had for the
game merely sneered and said, "Why
can't those girls stay in Greensboro
where they belong? What are they
trying to do, reduce the male-female
ratio to 10 to one."
The caravan of buses from Wo
men's college was' organized by Or
ville (Scoop) Campbell, present pub
lic relations director for WC, and bet
ter known as former DTH editor.
Campbell said that it was no trouble
finding enough students to use all the
tickets he managed to get, and that
he could have used 300 more. Through
the many girls who have gone to UNC
during summer schools, the fabulous
reputation of Carolina has spread
from dorm to dorm of the Greensboro
campus, Campbell said.
From the mouths of WCites : "Even
Lena the Hyena could get a date in
Chapel Hill."
IRC Plans to Discuss
'Dardanelles' Question
The IRC will have its third meet
ing of this quarter tomorrow evening
at 7:30 in the Roland Parker lounge
of Graham Memorial. Discussion will
be the question of the "Dardanelles."
Vincent Williams, program chairman,
will preside over the meeting. All
visitors will be welcome.

preme Court Justices, high govern
ment officials, congressmen, and other

Downpour Marks 33-0 Victory
As Myers, Camp, Grow, Score
Carolina Defense Holds Fast To Stop
Visiting Maryland "T" Party Blank
By Irwin Small wood
The wingbacks almost monopolized the offensive action for the
Tar Heels yesterday afternoon as they trampled Maryland 33-0
here in Kenan stadium. Only in the final period did the tailbacks
do any damage in the point column, Billy Myers scoring twice
after B. K. Grow had tallied once in the first period and Jim Camp
in the second and third quarters.
A crowd of 15.000 fans made the
best of the rain to stick by and watch
the Tar Heels win their second game
of the season. The weather was
threatening all day before the game,
but it held off until just before the
first quarter ended and then the bot-

Talmadge Policy

The first Negro to .attempt to run for
office in Georgia since reconstruction
days has evidently given up the at
tempt. Aurelius Scott, retired college pro
fessor who entered his name for coron

his name off the records. Unless that
step is taken, the party men say, Scott
will be listed on the ballot as an inde
pendent candidate whether he wants
to run or not. .
Store Robbed
Friday Night

of radio combinations were stolen last
night from the Ogburn Furniture com
pany on West Franklin street between
Chapel Hill and Carrboro. This is the
third time the store has been robbed
within three months.
W. J. Ogburn, owner, said today
that the robbers broke a window in
the back of the store, squeezed through
the window and unlocked the back
door. After putting out two night
lights they took the radios from the
front showcase.
The office was ransacked but since
most of the money was in checks only
about two dollars in change was taken.

Justice Carries Four Times
Carolina's Choo Choo Charlie Jus

times and passing thrice. In his four
tries on the ground, Justice piled up
23 yards, almost six a try. His three
passes were incomplete, one being in

It took the Tar Heels exactly five
