Having grown tired of many such requests, the untidy press man denied her request with. "The last thing Mr. Campbell told me before he went , home was not to give no papers to nobody.'' . Not a Smooth One What the young lady didn't know, and what many visitors to the plant have failed to realize is that the impertinent printer was none other than Orville S. "Scoop" Campbell himself, form er editor of the Daily Tar Heel in 1941-42 and present president and treasurer of Colonial Press. Like most enterprising young veterans who are going into busi ness for. themselves, Orville - is learning by experience that the course of business is not always a smooth one. When Colonial Press was or ganized last summer, one of the stockholders told Campbell that he should buy a duplex, flat-bed press and learn how to operate it in case anything should hap pen to the pressman. Campbell immediately agreed, hoping how- j ever that such a state of affairs would never exist. Four rreeks : United Press .- ... -.-. if V I: ' i ? .

Called by master of ceremonies Tag Montague the best audience that he has ever worked witli at Carolin?, it was composed almo.st entirely of men with only a few women scattered throughout the throng.

High American and British sources in London report that the British foreign office has given the United States permis sion to land a small detachment of Leathernecks in the Holy Land. However, the state department has issued a denial that any such decision was reached, though Washington officials admit that they are talking over the possi bility of sending American guards to protect the consulate in Jerusalem. They said the guards might be either Marines or civilians. In the Holy Land. the violence between Arabs and Jews has taken a more warlike turn. Arab Force Attacks More than 1,000 Arab warriors swooped across the Lebanon- Syrian border today and staged a 7-hour attack on two Jewisn towns. Latest reports indicate how ever that the raid could not be called an invasion in the true sense of the word. Reliable sources in Jerusalem say the at tack was staged by Palestine Arabs who had finished training for the threatened Holy war in Syrian military camps. They laid seige to two Ziomit settlements at the headwaters ! of the Jordan river and were ! driven back only after the Brit- I ish blasted their positions with ! warplanes, artillery and ma- chinegun fire.

Statistics gathered by .news men showed 24 of the 45 smiling entrants wore strapless evening dresses. 15 more conservative wore straps and fitted necklines, six went half-way with teasing jiiit-off-the-shoulder gowns. The beauty line generally ap peared at ease as contestants gathered eleventh-hour instruc tions from contest chairman Lil Hotard: "You all really pose now. Remember it's the JUDGES!" One by one the ladies nervous ly adjusted postures, acted as mirrors for each other, listened for names called by Emcee "Tag Montague, then gracefully moved onstage into critical view. They were met by cheers from a male audience which could scarcely control itself even after Montague had requested no ap plause.
