C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1948 Phone F-3371 F-3361 NUMBER 20 Tdft 'Pacc, Sfrong On Defense, Tops Nation By Dick Jenrelxe The nation's number one team Carolina and the na tion's number one defensive team N. C. State renew their long and colorful rival ry in. Kenan stadium this af ternoon in a Big Four and Southern conference battle before an expected homecom ing crowd of .44,000. The kick off will be at 2 o'clock. The Tar Heels, undefeated in three starts this year and win ners of their last ten starts over a two-year span, are regarded in most quarters as a 20-point fav orite over the visitors from Raleigh. State can boast no more than a record of one win, one loss, and a tie. Duke and State tied, 0-0, in the Wolfpack's open ing game, Clemson defeated them, 6-0, the following week, but last Saturday, State found itself in taking Davidson's meas ure by the convincing score of 40-0. Despite the mediocre record, Coach Beattie Feather's Wolf pack tops the nation from a de fensive standpoint, according to statistics released this week: Car olina's ranking as the leading grid eleven in the land provides a perfect billing for the after noon. Revenge Motive The Wplfpack has a strong re venge motive to fire it for today's encounter. Last year the Tar Heels romped to a 41-6 victory, surprising even their most ardent fans by the ease with which the win was scored. Carolina will be minus two of its key performers. Don Hartig, regular blocking back, has been out with a leg injury since the Georgia contest. He may not see further action this year. The sec ond casualty is more recent. Fred Sherman, the youthful wingback who has been particularly im pressive recently, has a bad knee which will prevent his playing today. Sherman sustained his injury in last week's 28-6 conquest of Wake Forest. It will keep him on the sidelines for a couple of weeks at the least. Only One Injury In the State camp, Tackle Ted Dostanko is the only player that may miss the game because of injury. He has missed all the drills this week but may get into the action. Ace Tailback Gwynn Fletcher also has been slowed up somewhat by injuries but will be ready to go against Carolina. Although the State offense did click for 40 points against David son last week, most Wolfpack supporters are basing their vic tory hopes on a strong defensive game. Coach Feathers, in his drills recently, has emphasized this phase of the team's play. (See LOCAL page 4) Local Hi-Y Group Meet Tomorrow The University Hi-Y associa tion of Chapel Hill will meet to morrow afternoon at 4:30 in the upstairs lobby of the campus YMCA building, to organize their plans for the coming year. It is hoped that four clubs will be formed, but since the advisors who were active last year are not available, planning will de pend upon finding replacements. Men interested in being ad visors should see Buddy Crone, raduate student of education, or Bob Barrus, member of the Uni versity YM staff, who are in charpo nf tannine this program. Barrus and Crone met last Thursday with 54 boys interested in developing campus Hi- activities. Pi Phi Entry Is Selected Beauty Queen By Herb Nachman Memorial hall rocked to the tune of "Dixie" and "Beat State" last night as 1,800 Carolina stu dents touched off the Homecom ing weekend festivities. The barely-filled auditorium was the scene of a pre-game rally that held more surprises in store than even Head Cheerleader Norm Sper expected. Charleen Greer of Tulsa, Okla homa was chosen as Homecoming Queen from sixteen contestants by judges Katherine Carmichael, E. L. Mackie and Jess Dedmond. Charleen represented Pi Beta Phi sorority. Several times during a lull in the rally, the students rose to their feet and began singing "Dixie." The first time, they were accompanied by the band, but af ter that, the highly spirited group persisted in rising at every op portunity and hoarsely singing what one student described as "Our National Anthem." Once during the program, two students stood on the Memorial hall platform bearing a banner which read- "We want the -Scuttlebutt." The demonstration was accompanied by loud cheers. Three State college cheerlead ers, Warren Smith and Johnny and Worth Barber, were on hand to join in leading the cheers. Four girls were chosen to serve in the Homecoming Queen's court when she is crowned before the game today at 1:30 in Kenan stadium. Members of the court are Pat ty Ann Frizzell, Mclver, from Bristol, Tenn.; Helen Bouldin, Chi Omega, Clarksdale, Miss.; Sarah Jane Farlow, ADPi, Au gusta, Ga.; and Betty Loke, Spen cer, Raleigh. Charleen will present the Homecoming cup to the fra ternity, sorority or dormitory which wins the lawn display con test. Judges for the contest are Dr. W. A. Olsen, Mrs. L. V. Hug gins and Noel Houston. The cup is given by the University club and will be presented at half time. State UN Week To Be Observed State headquarters of the CCUN announced yesterday that the week of Oct. 17-24 is being observed as United Nations week throughout the state. Programs for use in churches have been sent to all college chapters of CCUN for distribu tion in their sections, Roberta Sterling, state head of CCUN said. "Best To You' Beats Date Taboo By Jim Dickinson "Old songs bring back beauti ful memories like this one from a boy at Carolina to a girl on third floor at Meredith." Then softly forth from your radio flows the voice of Frank Sinatra and .he familiar strains of an old melody, "I"H Never Smile Again." It's somewhere between 11:05 o'clock and midnight, and you along with several thousand other students on campus have dialed your radio to WPTF in Raleigh for a few restful and smoothing moments with Jimmy Capps and his program of popular and con cert recordings, "Our Best To You." Capps' program is aired nightly Monday through Friday and fea- Baffle "3 - J?

Today. 75-year-old "Granny" will see her first football game, with flowers and all the trimmings. Granny To See Game After 75-Year Wait By Lincoln Kan For 23 years, 75-year-old Mrs. "Granny" English of Carrboro has been an avid fan of the Tar Heel football team. She has followed every game the team has played, through the sports pages and the radio. Last week she complained vehemently after the Wake Forest debacle, "I wish visitors wouldn't come during the football broadcasts. I missed the entire first half. Weren't the boys wonderful?" Although "Granny" is an ar dent fan, she has never actually seen a football game. So today when the team plays State at the Hnmommino Hav rnntest. Mrs. j English wiU see her first game as the guest of the Daily Tar Heel. . Norm Sper, head cheerleader, has special plans for "Granny" and one of the plans is that she will receive a corsage with all the trimmings. "Granny" has more than the average lady-listener's knowledge of the art of football. In fact, she recently asked if the clipping pen alty wasn't a little too severe since "in the old days, the boys use to do a lot of straight-arming, and I'm sure they would call that illegal if they could. Clip ping hmmph! The boys were just getting a little rough-that's all." Disc Party Gives Lovers More Time tures a wide variety of songs new and old, popular, symphony, waltz and almost any other type tune the requestful public so de sires. The program is for the most part a request show and all it takes to be presented is a penny postcard and a million1 dollars worth of love you'd like to send via recording to that dream girl or Lochinvar who rates a little higher than average in your ad dress book. Capps describes his program as "music which is designed to be heard with the heart." In making ln:':H0mecoming She sang high praises of this year's eleven, saying she felt that the team is really playing like a team and not just individual stars. "Of course, I think that Hosey, Choo-Choo and Szafaryn are wonderful . . . and so are the rest of the boys. I wish I could meet them all," she added. As to the prospects of seeing her first game "Granny" said, "I wish you hadn't told me so early. Now I won't be able to sleep at nights." Granny will be escorted to the game by her 12-year old grandson Jimmy Campbell. Quonset Base Repair Shop Razed by Million-Dollar Fire QUONSET POINT, R. I., Oct. 15. (UP) The huge engine re- , pair shop at Quonset naval air station was destroyed by fire to night with a loss of "more than $1,000,000." , The fire started in the cleaning and repair section and spread rapidly as it fed on cleaning ma terials and grease. It was sweeping out of control before base firemen arrived from their station, only about 200 yards away. Lt. Comdr. R. W. Glasgow said the dedications his soft, velvety voice has a quality which creates for the listener an atmosphere drenched with sentimentality. The program goes on the air at just the appropriate time for the folks with a flair for romance. "Dating" hours have slipped by and through compulsion boy and girl have torn themselves away. Gaily she trips her delightful way up the Spencer staircase while he dances away, song in heart, toward the lower quad. In a mat ter of seconds both have flicked their radio dials and are "send ing their best to each other." This program through dedica tions undoubtedly accomplishes many deeds which otherwise (See 'BEST TO YOU' page 3) Halftime Program The University band will appear at half-time today in a coordinated maneuver with the North Carolina State col lege band. Earl Slocum, di rector, said yesterday.' First formation will, be a huge staff and pennants, with each band forming tne letter of its school "C" for Carolina and "S" for Stale. Final forma tion will be an American flag, with the red, while and blue of the two groups' uniforms providing color, and music provided by the playing of "Stars and Stripes Forever." .. Ten Librarians Depart Tuesday For Conference Six members of the University library staff and four members of the Library school will leave for Louisville, Ky., on Tuesday to attend sessions of the South eastern Library association, to be conducted through Oct. 23. J. I. Copeland of the docu ments department is chairman of the association's reference sec tion, and Miss Frances L. Yocom of the catalog department will take, part in a round-table dis cussion on cataloging. Others of the staff who will attend include C. E. Rush, head librarian; W. P. Kellam, assistant librarian; Miss Georgia Faison, reference department; and George Bentley, circulation de partment. Representing the Library school will be Dr. L. R. Wilson, who will speak on the findings of the Southeastern States Co operative Library survey; Miss Mary E.

L. A. Atlantic City conference; and Miss Elaine von Oesen. that engines in all stages of re pair were destroyed and that total damage would be "well over $1,000,000" when their value was added to that of the build ing and equipment. Five persons were injured slightly when the west wall of the building, which covers an area about the size of a football field, collapsed. The most severely injured was a civuian tire tighter who suf fered a broken right ankle. Four sailors also were injured and treated at the station hospital. Glasgow said that the flames were stopped by a firewall be fore they could damage the other parts of the overhaul and repair building, the largest structure at the air base. Quonset's 67-man fire depart ment was on the scene almost immediately and help was called from North Kingstown, East Greenwich, Warwick, West War wick and Hillsgrove. There were several minor explosions as the flames gained in intensity and sent up huge columns of black smoke that darkened Narragan sett Bay. Glasgow said the engine shop was in complete operation when the fire broke out. He said the exact number of engines in the building at the time was not known, but that the value of those lost would reach a "consid erable figure." Hull Calls Dewey Claim Dangerous WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. (UP) Former Secretary of State Cordell Hull said tonight that Gov. Thomas "E. Dewey was "incorrect" when he claimed authorship of the bi-partisan for eign policy and that such state ments were endangering U. S. foreign affairs. He said the "melancholy im portance" of the Dewey state ment is that it is "Only the latest of many" in which credit was claimed for "patriotic effort by members of both political par ties." "If these competitive claims continue," he cautioned, "they will inject partisanship into the conduct of our foreign affairs quite as effectively as though the debate were directed toward the substance of our policies." The venerable Tennessean re called that Dewey told a Louis ville audience during the 1944 campaign that the American peo ple would be so fully informed on efforts to keep the peace that such efforts never would be sub jected to partisan politics. 'I heartily agreed with that statement then and recommend it now to all who speak for either party during the remainder of this campaign," he said. Dixiecrats Name Earl Fitzgerald To Top Position Earl Fitzgerald, president of the Young States Rights Demo crats, was installed at the meet ing held Thursday night in the Grail room of Graham Memorial. Other officers installed were Robert Goodwin, vice-president; Charlie Hodson, secretary; Ben Erdman, treasurer and Bob Smith and Douglas Carter co chairmen of publicity. Fitzgerald said, "We must talk, and talk sensibly to the people on the campus who we know are in terested. Our influence will be more than we realize. We do not want a 'hip-hip-hooray' program but we are trying to get the Democratic party to be Demo crats themselves. We must let the Democratic party know that when the platform is being made we are still here." Material recently received from national headquarters was distributed and will be made in to displays and placed on the bulletin board of each dormitory. The meeting was adjourned by the vice-president, Bob Goodwin, Late News Bulletins Tomato Target Trade Increase ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 15. (UP) Gov. Thomas E. Dewey fof Republican voteS in agri cultural Minnesota tonight by promising that his administra- tion would give farmers "less politics and more practical help." Dewey spoke from the St. Paul auditorium after a day long tour through southern Minnesota marred by a second tomato-throwing incident and by a chorus of boos when Sen. Joseph H. Ball, (R) Minn., was introduced. The tomato-throwing occur red as the campaign special pulled out of Albert Lea in southern Minnesota. The to mato struck Ball on the shoul der and part of it spattered on Mrs. Dewey's dress. Confess Charges Democrats Are Disrupt, Split By Sam McKeel Senator Robert A. Taft, speaking before a Memorial hall audience of 1600, yesterday charged that President Truman is trying to run for president against the 80th Congress. ' t I " - I 3 l.'Wl 4 If v l v" ,v4 SENATOR ROBERT A. TAFT Colclough Talks To Delta Sigmas . Delta Sigma Pi launched its professional program for the year on Thursday night with an ad dress by George D. Colclough, executive secretary of the Burl ington chamber of commerce. Colclough's subject was "The Chamber of Commerce Executive and his Job." He pointed out the qualities and personality charac teristics required of the executive and the duties and functions of the executive secretary and his committeemen. This was the first of a series of such programs to be given during the year. Others will include dis cussions on accounting, labor, politics, and marketing. Interdorm Council To Meet Monday The Men's Inter - Dormitory Council will meet on Monday evening at 6:30 in the main lounge of Graham Memorial, it was announced yesterday. Ad visers and last year's dormitory presidents are urged to be pres- ent. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. (UP) The Commerce depart ment today reported a big rise in American trade with Russia and her eastern European sat ellites during August. The department said this country exported $14,000,000 worth of goods to the iron cur tain states in August, almost tripling the July volume of $5,300,000. Support Withdrawn HENDERSONVILLE, N. C, Oct. 15 (UP) North Caro lina State's Rights Democrats, who have no candidates for state and congressional offices, have withdrawn their en dorsement of, regular demo cratic candidates for the posts, Chairman Philip S. Finn, Jr., announced today. Today "He cannot do this," Taft said, "he must run against Mr Dewey." Taft said that Truman de nounces the 80th Congress "not because of its faults, but because it utterly disagreed with his po litical views." "The New Deal wants to spend and spend and tax and tax," Taft told his audience. "I have never heard Mr. Truman mention econ omy or waste. He goes around or dering so much money to do something, and says if we cut the appropriation by one cent, we'll ruin everything." Speaking of the Taft-Hartley act, Taft said, "Our act was to restore the balance to collective bargaining. Just as an employer was forced by the Wagner act to negotiate and sign a contract, em ployees under our act must do the same thing. It is an act to restore equality." Taft charged that the Demo cratic party is disrupt and divid ed into three parts. "On one hand, he said, "is Wallace, with his extreme rational views. Then is Thurmond and his States Right ers, who have completely broken with Truman. Then there is the Truman wing and the balance of the Democratic party, largely now a labor party, dominated by small groups." "The Democrats have no ade quate leader," Taft said. "Roose velt held them together by the force of his personality. It is not Truman's fault altogether that the party has divided." On federal contrals, Taft said if price and wage controls are adopted dur ing peacetime "I don't think we'll ever get rid of them." On states' rights Taft remarked, 'I have covered most of the dif ficulties between Truman and the 80th Congress, and as usual I always get back to the same point. I believe that the federal government should be held down as much as possible. The federal government should leave the states and communities to run their own affairs. If it weren't for the theory of states rights, we'd be telling every county and every school district how to run their affairs." Continuing on states' and indi vidual rights, Taft said, "I think that we should see that every family has a minimum standard of living, and that every child has an equal opportunity." As for free medical attention Taft said that he thinks that the govern ment should approve federal grants to the states, if they need it to provide them free medical attention. "But I do not agree, he said with Truman's concept of taxing the people five billion dollars, putting this money into a federal bureau, and letting this bureau pay all doctors in the country. This cuts off the freedom of the medical profession." Taft concluded his speech by saying, "I can't understand why a Southern Democrat who dis agrees with Mr. Truman on every issue that I have presented shouldn't vote Republican this year." Sponsored by the Carolina Forum and the Young Republi can club, Taft was introduced by John Wilkinson, Republican can didate for the United States Senate.
