Week Old Corpse
Found Near Pines
By Football Fan
By Bill Sexton
Discovery yesterday of a par
tially decomposed body near the
Pines, restaurant two miles east
of Chapel Hill, was believed bv
police to have solved the case of
an attempt to enter the home of
B. F. Davenport, Pines owner,
on October 3.
A spectator enroute to tlr?
Carolina-Wake Forest game re
ported to Chapel Hill police
finding a body tentatively iden
tified as Walter Edwards, Chat
ham country Negro, shortly aft
er one o'clock yesterday after
noon. The body was located in a
wooded area approximately 150
feet from a trailer camp occu
pied by the families of 16 Caro
lina students.
A funeral home attendant said
last night he believed two gun
shot wounds were cause of death,
and estimated that a week hd
elapsed since the victim died.
Edwards, reported missing Oc
tober 4, had last been seen at ?
tavern near the Pines. Earlier
Davenport, proprietor of the
Pines, had reported an attempt
to break into the house occupied
by him and his wife, his five-year-old
child, and a brother at
about 1 a.m. October 3. He said
the noise of breaking a screen
and forcing a window awakened
his brother, J. C. Davenport. The
two men pursued the attempt
ed burglar, firing nine shots in
to the darkness.
. An immediate search by Cha
pel Hill police, Orange county
sheriff's officers, and blood
hounds had failed to reveal any
trace of the intruder, and offi
cers a week later reported no
headway on the case until tha
body was found yesterday aft
ernoon. Coroner H. J. Walker had not
determined yesterday evening
whether an inquest would be
held, but police officers indicat
ed they believed finding of the
body cleared up the attempted
break-in.
Fraternity Men
Organize Group
Of Stray Greeks
An addition to campus fra
ternity life was created last
Thursday night when a group
of fraternity men transferring
here from other colleges and
whose fraternities are not rep
resented here met in Graham
. Memorial to organize a "Stray
. Greek" organization.
Ten men, representing ten
different fraternities from Chi
cago to Georgia, formed the
nucleus of the yet nameless or
ganization. Two temporary of
ficers were chosen, Bob Bain as
president and Larry Widman as
secretary-treasurer.
Plans for further organization
and social activities will be dis
cussed when the group meets
Wednesday evening at 7:30 in
Graham Memorial.
Charter members of the or
ganization are: Bob Bain, Delta
Upsilon; Larry Widman, Theta
Delta Chi; Hal Elkin, Sigma
Alpha Lambda; Jack English,
Delta Tau Delta; Whit Hender
son, Theta Chi; Marshall Pin

New Communist International
indicates Accuracy of Book
Formation of a new Communist International with headquarters
I in the Yugoslav capital is "another indication of the accuracy"
of controversial "Tito's Imperial Communism," C. B. Robson,
chairman of the University Press's manuscript committee, asserted
yesterday.
Answering the charges of "in- versity press, declared that the
, accuracy and prejudice" voiced
last week by Yugoslav Ambas
sador ava Kasanovic, Robson
defended R. H. Markham's pook
as a "well-considered 'work by
an absolute' authority on th9
Balkans."
During an informal visit to
the office of the University press
one week ago, Kasanovic de
scribed Markham as "a man
recognized as an authority who
is definitely not an authority,"
and charged that the Christian
Science Monitor correspondent
had not been on Yugoslav terri
tory since 1936.
An Answer
In answer Robson, who is
chairman of the UNC political
science department as well as a
member of the press board of
governors, declared" that Mark-
ham was one few Balkan news-!
men who actually spoke the Sla
vic languages and had lived in
the region many years.
"During the war," said Rob
son, "Markham served the U.
S. as an intelligence agent in
the Balkans. After the war he
leturned as a correspondent,
omitting Yugoslavia on his tra
vels only beciyse he was re
fused admission by the Tito re
gime." He told how Markham had
submitted the manuscript in the
middle of 1945, but that publi
cation was delayed at the auth
or's request until he could make
a return visit to the Balkan re
gion for further study.
Careful Study
"We published this work be
cause after careful study and
some revision which we suggest
ed we found it not only an ac
curate analysis of the Tito gov
ernment .but also a book filling
a conspicuous gap in informa
tion available in the U. S." Rob
son said.
Earlier yesterday Miss Porter
Cole, acting director of 'the Uni-
MASON HEAD TO SPEAK
Luther T. Hartsell, Jr., of
Concord, Grand Master of Ma
sons in North Carolina, will
visit University Lodge tomor
row evening at 8:00 o'clock. ,
Hartsell, a graduate .:6k -the
University, is a distinguished
attorney and an able speaker on
Masonic subjects. All Master
Masons in the vicinity are urged
to attend. Refreshments will be
served.
College Dean,
Hugh Holman,
Bv Donald MacDonald
A college dean who has turn
ed mystery writer is the record
of Hugh Holman, local author
and instructor in English, who
will be guest speaker at a Bull's
Head tea on Wednesday after
noon at 4 o'clock.
Subject of the informal talk
will be "Myths About the De
tective Story," Mrs. N. B.
Adams, hostess at the teas, an
nounced today. The speaker will
be introduced by Mrs. Charles
Valentine, Jr., manager of the
bookshop.
Before his writing career be
gan Holman served as instruc
tor in radio at Piesbyterian col
lege, Clinton, S. C He is the
author of over 200 historical
plays for radio and has done
graduate work at New York
university. Some of his adapt
nons have been aired by the
Columbia Broadcasting system
in its "Columbia Workshop se
ries. During the war he became
a physics instructor with the
Army Air forces, remaining
SterWards at his Alma Mater
press had not hesitated before to
publish "controversial" works
when the works merited publi
cation. "We consider Markham one of
our own authors," said Miss
Cole. "We published his 'Wave
of the Past,' an answer to Anne
Morrow Lindberg's 'Wave of the
Future,' in 1941. It sold well
over 100,000 copies, the largest
sale of any of our publications
before or since."
' Allows Readers' Conclusions
Miss Cole pointed out how
Markham as an author sees "on
ly right or wrong, nothing half
way," but that the cited fact
and allowed readers to "draw
their own conclusions."
She added that the Yugoslav
am Ka ccorlnr hurl -f q i larl in hie
criticism of the publication to
"refute
any specific informa
tion contained in the book."
"The outlook for sales of this
publication," the acting director
reported, "is quite optimistic,"
despite the unfavorable reaction
from behind the Iron Curtain.
Arabs Move Troops
To Palestine Line
Lake Success, Oct. 11 (UP)
Reported Arab troop move
ments on Palestine borders and
a' message of agreement from
the Jewish Agency are the con
trasting reactions to the Ameri
can announcement today that
the U.S. would support the
United Nations plan for parti
tion of the Holy Land.
A dispatch from Beirut to
night indicated that Syrian army
units estimated to total 6,000
soldiers are maneuvering on the
Syrian-Transjordan border some
50 miles from the Palestine fron
tier. Other . reports predicted
that Iraq will send at least
10,000 troops through Syria to
Palestine during the coming
week.
The Syrian delegate to the
United Nations, one of the
founders of the powerful Arab
league, warned at Lake Success
that the U.S. announcement is
"a challenge to the Arabs."
Twenty British constables
were assigned this morning to
guard the American consulate
in Jerusalem, and diplomatic
personnel there have been is
sued guns as a precautionary
measure. But there has been no
report of violence within the
borders of little Palestine.
English Instructor Turned Mystery Writer,
To Be Bull's Head Guest Speaker on Wednesday
to accept the position as aca
demic dean.
In 1946 Holman ' left Presby
terian and came to the University-
to begin graduate work in
English. Last year he served as
instructor in freshman English,
and during the summer session
he became an assistant professor
teaching creative writing.
The young author's first novel,
"Death Like Thunder," was
published by the M. S. Mill
company of New York in 1942.
He has since written four oth
ers in the field of detective fic
tion. In each of these he has
created "Sheriff Macready," a
Southern county sheriff who is
equally at home with a book of
Chaucer or the insides of a .25
automatic.
Such a description could as
well fit the versatile Author
Holman, one person who has
proved that crime does pay. The
titles for his books have come
from Chaucer, Thoreau and the
Bible; his characters sometimes
solve crimes by relating them to
logical standards first used in

"Because the seating capacity
of our staff room is very limit
ed," explains Mrs. Adams, "we
have in times past had to turn
people away. Yet we emnhasize
that the teas are informal gath

teas in a larger auditorium, we
feel that we would lose the in

Fetzer's Aerials Spark
Watte Forest Ira Triumph
By Bnh Gold water
All ideas that North Carolina would rebound from last wpfk's
crushing setback to bowl over its remaining opponents and re
gain its place in the national grid spotlight were sadly shattered
in Kenan stadium yesterday be- - r-zr-7-.:.Ti:
fore 35,000 witnesses when a ! r?' , n,...t 1 ,,f
keyed-up Wake Forest eleven
completely outclassed the Tar
Heels to register a 19-7 triumph.
Although the Deacons had
much the better of the argu
ment in all statistics depart
ments, it was the sensational
passing of tailback Tom Fetzer
that provided the main differ
ence, between the two teams.
The 20-year-old successor to
Nick Sacrinty dominated the
show by completing 12 passes
in 16 attempts for a yardage
total of 198.
Nevertheless, he wasn't the
only Deacon star. His under
study, Jim Lail, only completed
one aerial but it went for a
touchdown, Wake Forest's first.
Fullback George Pryor led the
attack along the ground with
powerful line smashes. And the
entire Deacon forward wall
from end to end came in for
its share of glory by checking
the Carolina ground offensive
for the third successive week
this time to a net of 31 yards.
Actually, the Deacons never
gave Carolina a chance to get
into the ball game. They main
tained control of the pigskin
throughout most of the 60 min
utes of action and that's usually
a good indication of which
team emerges the. victor. It was
this time, anyway.
Booming: Punts
Lone bright spot for Carolina
in an otherwise drab afternoon
was the booming punting of
Charlie Justice, who averaged
51.5 yards on nine kicks. The
Tar Heel offensive, both through
the air and on the ground, was
stifled by the hard-charging
Deacons, and Carolina had pos
session of the ball in enemy ter
ritory only twice during the
contest.
It took Wake Forest exactly
seven and one-half minutes after
Walt Pupa's kickoff to cross the
goal line for the first of its
three touchdowns. And the Tar
Heels had the ball for only two
downs during the interval, one
of these being a quick-kick by
Justice that travelled 58 yards.
The Deacons wasted no time
Director of New Department of Religion
To Open Series of Talks Tomorrow Night
Dr. Arnold Nash, who has '
just come to the University from
the McCormick Theological
seminary in Chicago to head the
new Department of Religion,
will begin a series of seven
weekly informal lectures in Ger
rard Hall here tomorrow night
at 7 o'clock, it was announced
by Chancellor R. B. House.
Dr. Nash, who will in addi
tion to heading the department
serve as professor of religious
history, will speak on "The
Christian Task in the Univer
sity." His lecture will be follow
ed by a discussion period, and
all students, faculty members
and townspeople are invited to
attend.
Last spring Prof. Frank Hanft
of the University Law School
inaugurated the weekly talks on
religious subjects, and it was
partly because of the interest
shown in the senes that the
University trustees founded the
new Department of Religion.
Dr. Nash, whose fieM is the
history and philosophy of re
ligion, is a native of England.
He received his B.S. and several
graduate degrees from the Uni
versity of Liverpool and the
University of London and was
awarded an honorary Doctor of
Divinity degree by Coe College
last year.
He came to the United States
in 1939 to teach at the Berkeley

48, then retired for a spell in
favor of Lail.
Dow da. Scores
Pryor took up where Fetzer
left off and pitched a long aerial
to end John O'Quinn, who wa?
downed on the Tar Heel 24.
After a four-yard buck by the
big fullback, Lail faded back
and uncorked a long pass into
the end zone that Harry Dowda
gathered in with a beautiful
catch. Nich Ognovich's conver
sion attempt was' wide but the
Deacons had taken a 6-0 lead
from which the locals never re
covered. Sixteen minutes later, a Dea
con was again crossing the goal
line and the Tar Heels were
still attempting to take the ball
across the midficld stripe. Wake
Forest threatened shortly after
the second quarter got under
way but Oirolira secondary
