Mr. Daniels studied law at the Jniversity of North Carolina in 1884 and 1885. A member of the Jniversity Board of Trustees ince 1901, he was presented an lonorary degree in law from the jniversity in 1914. A newspaperman always, Mr. Daniels never called himself Secretary of the Navy, but its 1 , ' &4 i JOSEPHUS DANIELS his five volumes of memoirs that he could never remember when he did not have printer's ink on his hands and want to be an editor. As Secretary he served for eight years in the cabinet of President Woodrow Wilson.

I., Jan. 15 (UP) Republican Senator Taft hist night made a strong bid for the GOP presidential nomination. In a speech prepared for the Rhode Island Democratic club in Providence, the Ohio Senator attacked the president's domestic program and criticized Secretary - of State Marshall for the way the European aid program is being presented to Congress. Taft called on Congress to give the nation what he called "a more substantial income tax cut," and to help pay for it by drop ping $3,000,000,000 from the pre sident's 1949 budget. He claimed that his proposed budget cut would also reduce the national debt. The G.OP presidential aspir ant estimates that America can keep on helping Europe by giv ing as much aid as can really be effective in restoring Europe's I economy. He also thinks that the 1 budget for the armed services an be altered and still make the military budget effective for national security. Taft figures that a three-bil-J'on dollar budget cut will allow !' public debt to be cut by $2,- Intramural Debate Schedule Announced to Begin Feb. 2 In spite of the Intramural council's recent veto of point awards for competition in debating, Debate council presi dent Earl Fitzgerald yesterday outlined a plan for an intra mural tournament with cups and medals still to be present- ed.

Even when Roosevelt became President, he still called Mr. Daniels "Chief" Born in 1862 in the Carolina coast town of Washington, Mr. Daniels moved soon with his mother to Wilson where he, at 18, became editor of a weekly paper. He came to the state capi tal later to work for a paper which merged with the News and Observer. After buying the newspaper in 1894, he increased its circulation until it is at pres ent the second largest paper in the two Carolinas. Only last month the aged jour nalist attended a Presidential press conference and in a brief talk denounced "war mongers." He said, "If you talk about war, the people will think war. If you talk peace, they will think peace." Mr. Daniels is survived by his four sons and nine grandchildren One son Jonathan Daniels served as wartime special assist ant to President Roosevelt. Jona than is now executive editor of his late father's paper. Truman Telegram President Truman telegraphed sympathy to the family of Jose phus Daniels after his death to day. President Truman said: "A great and beloved figure passes from our national life. The pro fession of journalism loses a long prominent member whose tren chant pen was active to the end in defense of every cause in which he believed one of the last of the personal journalists who formerly wielded such po tent influence in molding public opinion. "Fortunately for posterity, he lias left in vivid pages the his tory of the era in which, as war time cabinet member, diploma tist and journalist, he bore so arge a part. "And so he goes to his account, rich in years and honors. I per sonally mourn the loss of a trusted friend and counselor."

Carolina Magazine and Tarnation, as they now exist; A combined magazine; 5. No magazine at all.
