Scales, University Chancellor R. B. House stated yesterday that, "There are no University, state, or federal laws regulating political affilia tions of University students." Thus committing the adminis tration in no way on the situa tion, House declared that was all he could say at the present time. Scales, an army veteran and graduate student here, admitted his affiliation with the Commun ist party in a signed statement to the Daily Tar Heel Wednes day afternoon, the same day mimeographed handbills entitl ed "The Lowdown on High Prices" were circulated with Scale's name printed at the bot tom as chairman of the Chapel Hill Communist party. In the absence of University President Frank Graham, a statement from him on the sit uation could not be obtained, but a recent letter written by the educator declared that he was opposed to Communism .in all its forms. An excerpt from Graham's letter reads, "I stand on the American Bill of Rights and therefore am opposed to Com munism, which in Russia does not provide the guarantee of the Bill of Rights and would not provide those guarantees if it should triumph in America." In his' statement to the DTH, Scales said, "I am proud to be a member of a party which is democratic both in its own structure and in its outlook." In the previously-quoted let ter by Dr. Graham, a firm con tradiction of Scale's words ap pears, branding the party as un democratic. "Our American de mocracy is prevailing and will prevail over Fascism, Commun ism, ' and other undemocratic philosophies and movements," the letter declares. The- "only comment received from "Scales yesterday was in "answer to a question about the number of people in the Chapel Hill Communist party. Refer ring to a state newspaper com ment which said "well-informed sources" estimated the num ber at between 12 and 18, Scales stated, "I'd rather not say wheth er it was an overestimate or an underestimate, but I think there's reason to believe that very scon it will be an underes- Scales' Statement Is Released In Full Following is the complete statement given to the Daily Tar Heel Wednesday by Junius Scales, chairman of the Chapel Hill chapter of the Communist party: .' ; "I "have been associated .with the Communist Party for a number of years. I am speaking in the name of my party in the hope that I may in a small way dispel some of the dangerous il lusions and falsehoods about the Communists which are being used to distract us from the real problems which we must solve: a decent living standard for all the people, a peaceful world, a more democratic Amer ica without race discrimination. "I have had an opportunity of meeting many outstanding Communists, and I can say from long experience and close as sociation that the Communists are the most human, the most principled, the most courageous, the most selfless people I have ever known. "I am proud to be a member of a party which is democratic both in its own structure and in its outlook. As a Southerner, I am especially glad to belong to the only organization which fights for the full and complete equality of the Negro people. "Finally, I am glad that my party's patriotism expresses it self, not in hostility toward oth er countries, not in slavish ven- Di Senate Submits Pair cf Proposals Meeting on Wednesday night, the Dialectic Senate discussed a system of registration for the next two quarters and recom mended two suggestions for the consideration of the University registration committee. timate of our size In a press conference held The first Proposal passed by yesterday afternoon, Governor the Senate resolved that two R.

' "While we do not believe Student Government should relinquish its responsibility in handling any such students as may carry on the practice, we recognize the obvious handicap under which the authorities are now operating that of not being permitted to arrest stu dents. Our disciplinary machinery is probably not broad enough to achieve the results which would be desirable. Thereforerwe shall, through the DAILY TAR HEEL, inform the student that he is responsible not only to Student Government, but to Civil authorities as well. We shall attempt to make it clear that the student scal per is liable to prosecution in the Men's Council as well as in the courts, or both. He may be turned over to the authorities by the Council or his case may be taken up by: them if he is arrested. The students will be warned that the aid of civil authorities has been solicited, though no specific branch will be mentioned." Judicial Powers Held Quiet progress was the order 1 J V JL A.

The redistricting bill, which provided for a new di vision of the campus and town into legislative districts, was introduced by the speak er pro tempore of the Legis lature two weeks ago. In spite of the fact that most mem bers were present for the hearing of some nine other bills presented to the Legis lature last night, there was not a quorum at the time when Long's bill was brought up for discussion. Financial Setup The first forty five minutes of last night's legislative ses- ion was used by student body treasurer Sam Daniels to explain the present finan cial setup of the Student gov ernment. Daniels mad? a plea to the Legislature to defer further appropriations until more block fees were brought into the treasury. He said that this is the first time that the sudents of the University have really had control of the finances and that he is doing everything possible ' to make the chance good. After discussion of the con dition of student finances, Daniels brought up the sub iect of expense accounts ' j 3 : 1 I ; 1 1 T T . 1 1 Pi Beta Phi' Bee- lurneu in uy cm lvnntri. rari i Lie Hoiton, Alpha Gamma Del ta; Elizabeth Thomas, CICA. ...Sally ...
