"Already some' 70 people on campus have taken the trouble to attend our meet ings even though, as yet, we have had no program to offer them. This, to me, is a good indication that pro-Wallace j sentiment . is not nearly so rare as many people believe," said Knowlton.

President Truman: today declared the entire state of Maine a national disaster 'Had to Be Persuaded Says Dr. Henderson, Speaking of First Shaw Play He Witnessed By Mark Sumner "I was given free tickets, but still had to be persuaded before I went to see a Shaw play for the first time," says Dr. Archi bald Henderson, official biog rapher of George Bernard Shaw. "I was working on a disser tation at. the University of Chi cago in 1903," he explained, "and the Hart-Conway School of I Acting was putting on Shaw's play, 'You Never Can Tell.' Al though I was interested in play wrights and the theatre, I had never heard of George Bernard Shaw." Dr. Henderson, celebrating his 50th year of service with the University, is head of the Math ematics department. In connec tion with this anniversary and with the opening of their 30th season, the Carolina Playmakers are dedicating the first per formance of Shaw's "Saint Joan" to Dr. Henderson. "I remember," Dr. Henderson went on, "saying that I was too busy never heard - of Shaw couldn't go to the expression teacher who got the tickets, but she talked me into it, and I saw my first Shaw play. I don't re- member whether the production was good or not, but after the play I felt I had passed through bath of cosmic rays. Turning Point of Life "It was the turning point of my life," he stated, then added, j "Shawns wit and humor, his anti-romantic approach to love, was certainly something new. I felt that there was an undiscov ered genius, and decided to read everything I could find about Shaw and his plays." Before this moment, Dr. Hen derson had served a long ap prenticeship in writing for the theatre. He had published arti cles on Maeterlinck, the Belgian Shakespeare; Ibsen, the father of social drama, and Oscar j area arid ordered the Federal Works agency to send emer gency relief. Some supplies to set up temporary homes for refugees have already been sent into the burnt - over areas, including blankets, cots, medicine, and tempora ry housing. As volunteers from half a dozen states rallied in their grim battle, Red Cross offi cials tonight estimated that in Maine alone more than a; thousand homes had been de stroyed. In the New England area some 7,000 persons were reported homeless. Wilde. He had already obtained his doctor's degree here in math ematics. . It was natural, then, that Henderson, upon discover ing that there was little mater ial on Shaw published in this country, except a few plays, de cided that something should be done to bring Shaw to the at tention of the critics and the general public. There had been a short article on Shaw by James Huniker in the New York Sun, and another short one in a little magazine that was written by Clarence Rook, but that was the total. Dr. Henderson, then 26 years old, proceeded to write Shaw a letter, saying, "I feel that you are an undiscovered genius and I would like to write the story of your life." He was afraid that Shaw would not even answer, but three Weeks later a postcard ar rived from Shaw. It said, "I am very much interested in your of fer. I was unaware that I had rung the bell in that distant part of America." The note end ed with a request for a photo graph of Henderson. Dr. Henderson went to a pho- j tographer and asked him to make the photograph as impres- 'sive as possible. The photograph- jer laughed and said, "That's all I right. I have plenty of film." When the pictures were finish- ed his wife picked the one she considered "the least forbidd- ing," and Dr. Henderson mailed it to Shaw. The answer was another post card on which Shaw said: "You , look like the man who can do jthe job." "Those were the most delight ful, cheerful words I ever heard in my life," says Dr. Henderson. Begins Writing Biography That started a corresponden ce of three years, during which Dr. Henderson wrote over 15 World Relief Begins Drive Next Sunday In order to coordinate drives for world relief, the churches of the community and the campus, YM and YWCA are cooperating in their efforts to raise funds for j the operation of three major .relief agencies. . This afternoon all residents of the community, including University faculty and stu dents living off-campus, will be given an opportunity to contribute to the three par ticipating agencies. They are the American Friends Serv ice committee and Church World Service, both of which send clothing, food, and shel ter to people of Europe and the Orient; and World Stu- i dent Service fund, which sends intellectual as well as material aid from American students and faculty to stu dents and faculty abroad. The university drive will begin November 2. when campus residents will be so licited for these same organi zations. Students and faculty who have contributed! through the community drive will not be solicited again. Ministers of Chapel Hill Hill will preach today on "Service," and . townspeople have been asked to stay at home this, afternoon to. re ceive the visits of solicitors.

At one time he received a 54-page hand written letter from Shaw. In 1907 he went to England to mee? Shaw and to have the play wright check the manuscript. He was Shaw's guest for several weeks. He returned to Chapel Hill and continued his work on the I biography. During the next three years he wrote a great number of articles on Shaw, many of them being published in foreign languages. With his Shaw biography com pleted, he took a year's leave of absence from the University in 1910, and went back to England, so that the playwright could see the completed manuscript. In 1911, "George Bernard Shaw His Life and Works" made its appearance. One of the largest English magazines gave it an 11 -page review, and it was well received all over the world. As for "Saint Joan," which the Carolina Playmakers are producing on October 29, 30, 31, and November 1, Dr. Henderson says Shaw believes that 'Saint Joan' is his masterpiece. I 'was able to see the world premiere of the play in London, and 10 days later the American pre- miere in New York. It has a tremendous impact for the audi- ence, although some people first thought that the humorist was writing with his tongue in his cheek. Dr. Henderson had planned o retire, but was asked by Uni versity officials to remain at his post for another year. He now plans to retire next year. "I shall be busy, after my re tirement, doing things that have been deferred by the press of work," Dr. Henderson said. "Most of my time will be spent in lecturing and writing." iv t I vt' , y j I f " 7 t -. v k.

The Tar Heels of Coach Carl Snavely exhibited a well-organized and diversified attack that had the Gators completely baf fled. Carolina rang up a total of 17 first downs, 283 yards from scrimmage, and an additional 1G7 yards on passes. Hosea Rodgers was in truly great form this afternoon, as the big Tar Heel fullback led his mates to their second straight victory and their biggest offen sive splurge of the season. The Brewton, Ala., husky compiled an amazing net total of 238 yards with his running and passing. He picked up 112 yards in 8 running plays and 126 yards on six pass completions in ten attempts. Carolina's scoring was evenly divided, with Rodgers, Charlie Justice, Art Weiner, John Tan dy, and Walt Pupa each crossing the goal line once. Bob Cox had a perfect afternoon of five extra point attempts in an equal num ber of tries. The Tar Heel defense was al so in fine form, with the Gator3 ' being allowed only 21 yardf passing and 107 yards froi. scrimmage. Take Early Lead The Tar Heels were not long in going to the from. They struck with the power they ) id withheld all season, when a'cer Justice had returned the open ing kickoff 13 yards to the Car olina 16, they went all the way in three big plays. Justice got the ball moving by sweeping right end for 19 yards, after which a Rodgers to Clements reverse made 13 more through the dazed Floriuians. On the next play Rodgers drop ped back, spotted Weiner mov ing up the middle and hit the big Newark end with the ball on the Florida 30, Weiner gath ering the ball in and tip-toeing the rest of the way untouched for a score. Cox added the point, and the visitors led, 7-0. Florida struck back immedi ately when Griffin returned the following kickoff from his own eight to the Carolina 38 before Maceyko could pull him down. Forbes knifed for 11 on the next play, but here the Florida attack bogged down and the Tar Heels took over on downs. Kodgers Gets Loose Rodgers was off to the races the moment the Tar Heels got possession of the ball. He found a convenient opening at right guard, burst into the secondary, brushed aside one would-be-tackler and then raced up the field in the direction of home for 76 yards and a second Tar Heel score. Cox again did the honors and the Carolina entry led 14-0. See RODGERS, page three dent Service fund.
