A
University Library
Gets Book Collection
Of Josephus Daniels
By Agatha Adams
Josephus, Jr., Worth, Jonathan, and Frank Daniels, the
four sons of the late Josephus Daniels, noted editor, am
bassador and cabinet member, have just presented a large
collection of books and other items from his private library
to the University library, is was announced yesterday by
Chancellor R. B. House and Librarian C. E. Rush.
This generous gift, totalling
ever 4,000 items, was made with
cut any restrictions, except for
the request that books not need
ed in the University library be
offered to other libraries in the
state.
The collection may be roughly
divided into two groups, each of
which will have a distinctive
bookplate: "The Josephus Dan
iels Collection of Books Relating
to Mexico," and general mater
ials of literary and historical in
terest, to be inscribed "From the
Library of Josephus Daniels."
Rich Interests
The Daniels books as a whole
reflect, as must the private libr
ary of an interesting individual,
the rich and many sided interests
of their late owner. The major
fields of interest in the general
collection are on Naval history,
sea power, both World Wars,
American biography, diplomatic
history, the history of the Amer
ican flag, and the South.
Much of the material here,
such as some of the Naval docu
ments, the publications of the
Navy History society, the port
folio of official Italian maps from
the first World War, and the two
volumes of Muirhead Bone's
drawings entitled "The Western
Front," will form a most useful
supplement to the Bowman Gray
collection on the first World War.
Official War Documents
Many of the official documents
bear Mr. Daniels' neme stamped
in gold on the binding. One of
the notable books in this group,
and a very welcome acquisition,
is the great folio three-volume
set, "History of the Indian Tribes
of North America," by MacKenny
and Hall, published by the War
department in 1838, and illustra
ted with 120 tinted portraits of
Indian chieftains, reproduced
from the portraits in the Indian
gallery of the Department of
War. Here is excellent material
for Indian costumes, as well as
Indian history.
The group of books related to
Mexico reflect the wide esteem
and affection in which Josephus
Daniels was held while he was
United States ambassador there.
Many are presentation copies, ex
pressing in warm phrases the ad
miration of the author or the
donor for the Ambassador. Some
of them would be unobtainable
except through official channels;
such are a handsome homage vol
ume from the Catholic church in
Mexico to Pope Pius XI, and a
richly bound volume in honor of
the fourth Centenary of Appari
tions of Our Lady of uuaaaiupe.
This latter was presented to
Josephus- Daniels by the Arch
bishop of Mexico.
Many Books on Mexico
The books related to Mexico
include works in both Spanish
and English; there is a good re
presentation of most of the re
cent books about Mexico, and
pre-publication copies of Hudson
Strode's "Timeless Mexico" and
Bess Adams Garner's "Notes in
the Margin," which had evident
ly been sent to Mr. Daniels for
his comment. There is a copy of
Poinsett's "Notes on Mexico,"
London, 1825, in an especially
fine blue leather binding.

'Campus'Time' Prints
Article by Sumner,
University Student
The April issue of "Campus
Parade," national magazine for
college men and women, carries
an article with a three-page pic
ture layout by graduate student
Mark R. Sumner.
The article, entitled "Of the
People: the Carolina Playmak
ers," covers the thirty-year his
tory of the drama organization
and is illustrated with photo
graphs from recent Playmaker
productions, as well as a pre
viously unpublished picture of
novelist Thomas Wolfe.
Thirty Years Covered
Although the article covers the
whole thirty years of Playmaker
activities, many of the people
mentioned, or who appear in the
photographs, are present day stu
dents or faculty members of the
"dramatic art department.
Sumner, who handles publicity
for the Playmakers, has had two
of his one-act plays published this
year. One was "Rock Dust," pub
lished by Row, Peterson com
pany of New York, and the other
was.. "Thunderhead,".. published
by the Art Craft Play company.
The Carolina Magazine recently
ran his short story, "One for the
Major," based on war experiences.
"So Many Mistakes"
Two of his one-act plays were
recently produced on experimen
tal bills by the Playmakers, al
though he says, "The audience
found so many mistakes, I'm al
most afraid to writer another
one."
The -Campus Parade article is
Sumner's first venture into the
national magazines. It has not
previously been available in
North Carolina, but the April is
sue is on sale at the Sloan Drug
company news stand on Franklin

Are Runners-up
In Close Contest
The Alpha Delta Pi's proved
the dark horse in yesterday's
Sigma Chi derby, as they triump
hantly captured the coveted Sig
derby cup with a total score for
the afternoon -of 19 three points
higher than any of their com
petitors. Delta Delta Delta and Pi Beta
Phi tied for second place with
16 tallies after running the gamut
of pie-throwing, sack-racing, egg-and-spooning
and other pastimes
that the Sigma Chi's, had dream
ed up for the fearless entrants
into the competition.
In the local tabulations, third!
fourth and fifth places were
taken by Alpha Gamma Delta,

pendent Coed association, re
spectively. Sarah Jane Farlow stole the
show for the entire proceedings
and especially for the ADPi's
when she walked away with the
"Miss Modern Venus" crown.
In the Sigma Chi Claiming di
vision, another ADPi brought
home the bacon as Bill Hender
son's hawk-eye for pie-throwing
won her the grand prize having
a pie neatly pushed into her face
by Jim Hendrick, the previously
suffering target of all the slap
stick play.
The climax of the afternoon,
according to many of the hun
dreds of spectators who watched
the afternoon's proceedings on

Sam Bartlett's Business Has Grown
Fifteen-fold in 13 Years Existence
By Chuck Hauser
Today marks the 13th anni
versary of the business concern
that is 15 times as large now as
it was at the time of its concep
tion back in 1935. And the occa
sion brings to light a story that
Horatio Alger would have been
proud of.
Back in '35, a young fellow
named Sam Bartlett tacked a
"taxi" sign on his second-hand,
1934 model Chevrolet and began
the business now known as the
Carolina Cab company, which
has a fleet of 15 cabs operating
in and around Chapel Hill.
Sam, a native of Asheville roll
ed into Chapel Hill first as a
freshman at the University. When
a cute UNC coed caught his eye,
he up and married her on April
12, 1925. Pretty soon the couple
moved back to Asheville where
Sam went to work as book-keeper
with the city water depart
ment. After two years' work in Flori

For Memorial Hall
The second meeting of the 1948
senior class will be held Tuesday
night at 7:30 in Memorial hall,
according to an announcement
made yesterday by President
Benson McCutcheon.
Principal business on the agen
da concerns "Spike" Saunders,
University alumni secretary who
will discuss plans for post-graduation

Also on the agenda will be Earl
Fitzgerald, chairman of the De

the plan to re-offer the Willie P.
Mangum Medal in oratory again
this year. "
Previously, the medal has been
awarded to the member of the
senior class who during his four
years prior to graduation has best
exhibited the qualities of oratory,
debate and scholarship.
According to Fitzgerald, "The
winners of this medal through
the years of its existence have
been men for the most part of
equally high rank in life as that
of Senator Mangum. It is the de
sire of the Debate council to see
those excelling in elocution to
continue being recognized
through this program."

Sam got a job with the Blue
bird Taxi company in Durham
where he stayed for two years
before he decided to tack his own
"taxi" sign up and go into busi
ness for himself in Chapel Hill.
About his short stay as a stu

plained that he came here orig
inally intending to study law.
"I was tried and acquitted of
any ability as a lawyer," the kindly-faced
man with the horn-rimmed
spectacles went on. "I lost
that case right quick."
It was learned after the inter

local businessman and his wife
have just recently celebrated
their silver wedding anniversary.
The couple have a son enrolled

Introduction to Be
Made by Dr. Straley,
Physics Professor
By Jim Dickinson
Senator Glen H. Taylor,
third party vice-presidential
candidate, will arrive here to
morrow to deliver an address
scheduled for 8 o'clock in Hill
hall. He is in Winston-Salem
today speaking before an es
timated 2,000 people gather
ed there for the North Caro
lina Progressive party's found
ing convention.
The Idaho senator, Henry Wal
lace's running mate in the cur
rent presidential race, is ap
pearing here under the auspices
of the local Wallace for Presi
dent club. Dr. Joseph Straley,
physics professor, will serve as
chairman of the assembly.
Reception Slated
An open forum session will
follow the address, and immedi
ately afterwards Senator Taylor
will be honored at a reception in
Graham Memorial.
From Chapel Hill Senator Tay
lor will journey to Charlotte for
a Tuesday night debate with Dor
othy Thompson, noted columnist,
on the subject "Is the third party
justified?" The discussion will be
aired on the ABC network.
In Office Until '51
Senator Taylor, wha was well
received in an appearance here
last year, has been a prominent
figure in American politics since
he was elected to the U. S. Sen
ate from Idaho in 1941 in a dra
matic race against isolationist D.
Worth Clark. His present term
runs until 1951.
His career in the Senate has
been characterized by leadership
on behalf of the farmer, tho
worker, the small businessman
and the consumer.
Organized labor knows Senator
Taylor for his fight against the
Taft-Hartley law, at which time
he talked on the Senate floor for
eight hours in an attempt to de
feat the opposition intent cn ov
erriding the veto.
Two Senator Team
Teaming with Senator Claude
Pepper, who will appear here
next Friday under ' the CPU
sponsorship, Taylor sought to
give the people back home time
to tell Congress how they felt
about the veto. Thousands of
telegrams poured in from all
parts of the nation to reward his
gallant effort.
Most publicized among his sen
atorial achievements was' Tay
lor's action in preventing the
seating of the late Senator Bilbo
by the 80th Congress. Taylor in
troduced a resolution demanding
that the Senate refuse to seat
Bilbo, and the subsequent up
roar and the strength of the at
tacks against him convinced Bil
bo not to force a test in the Sen
ate on whether or not he was
legally elected.
Cross-Country by Horse
Late in 1947, Taylor undertook
a cross-country horseback trip
as an effort to alert the Ameri
can people to what he considered
a dangerous present foreign pol
icy. He explained the trip in
these words:
"I am making a horseback and
automobile trip across the coun
try in order to warn the people
of the U. S. against the danger
of war in our present foreign
policy. I have decided that in
order to attract attention to a
voice which opposes this trend,
I must dramatize the issue."
Taylor has introduced bills and
resolutions to restore price con
trols; raise the minimum wage;
make credit available to small
business; investigate the real es
tate lobby; establish control over
monopolies.
