WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 29.-Dr. Frank P. Graham
and 35 other close associates and advisers of the late Presi
dent Roosevelt, today condemned the Progressive party in
a signed statement released by the Americans for Democratic
action headquarters in Washington.
The statement describes actions
or me puny txie mosi seiuous
attempt in the history of our
nation by a totalitarian group to
capture and destroy American
liberalism."
Three former Roosevelt cabinet
officers. Harold L. Ickes, In
terior; Francis Eiddle, Attorney
General; and Frank C. Walker,
Postmaster General, joined the
other key New Deal figures in
charging ''hat the Progressives
constitute "a major effort to
break up the liberal-labor coali
tion which brought about the
great gains of the past 15 years."
Other former top officials in
the Roosevelt administration who
joined in urging rejection of
Wallace included Aubrey Wil
liams, director of the National
Youth administration; Ernest
Gruening, governor of Alaska;
Leon Henderson, administrator
OP A; Elmer Davis, director of
OWI; Dean Acheson, Under- Sec
retary of State; Nathan Straus,
housing administrator and Grace
Tally, personal secretary to Presi
dent Roosevelt.
They cited opposition to the
European Recovery program as
1 1 campaign," and assailed the Pro-
Igrcssives for having "lined up
unashamedly with the forces of
Soviet totalitarianism."
The statement recalls that
President Roosevelt had describ
ed the Soviet Union as "a dic
tatorship as absolute as any other
dictatorship in the world."
Dismissing Wallace's domestic
program as "an incidental con-
cession to political necessity,
the New Dealers said that "the
thief motivation of the Progres-
i! e
sive party is tne promotion ui.
ts foreign policy."

Chi Delta Phi
Hears Address
On Literature
"You don't write literature be
cause you're interested in plumb
ing," said Dr. Archibald Hender
son, speaking Thursday night at
the initiation banquet of Chi
Delta Phi literary sorority in
Durham's Ivy room.
"Will, enthusiasm, confidence
and determination are things you
must have," the nationally known
mathematician, historian and bi
ographer declared, entitling his
talk, "How to Become a Great
Writer."
Guests at the banquet includ
ed the 10 members of the Uni
versity chapter, who were initiat
ed at ceremonies Thursday af
ternoon; members of the Duke
chapter, and Miss Katherine
Carmichael, a Chi Delta Phi
alumna.
Describing some of his ex
periences with George Bernard
Shaw, for whom he is official
biographer, Dr. Henderson gave
the young writers advice from
the great dramatist.
Shaw's secret of literary suc
cess, according to Dr. Henderson,
is to write five pages a day, and
to be able to write under any
circumstances. The speaker de
scribed seeing Shaw writing on
buses and trains, and during in
terviews with reporters and his
public. "You must be able to
isolate yourself from what goes
on around you," he said.
"The first, last, and' middle
thing you must do," Dr. Hender
son concluded, "is to study people
life, more than literature."
Members of the University
chapter of the national honorary
group will meet Monday night
at 8 o'clock in Horace Williams
lounge, Graham Memorial, for
their first closed meeting of the
year.. Material written by chapter
memebers will be read and criticized.

ped around like a pogo stick per
former with 11 speeches from the
lower end of Manhattan,, to the
Bronx.
Dewey effectively tied up home
ward-bound commuters at Grand
Central station by showing up
there at 5:42 p.m. and packing
the big lobby around the infor
mation booth with an overflow
crowd of 7,500.
Sirens wailed, fireboats spray
ed, bands played and taxi drivers
cursed from dawn to dark as the
candidates' paths intertwined and
tied up traffic.
Mr. Truman and Gov. Dewey
were staying in hotels only two
blocks apart and, had he chosen,
the President could have looked
out the window of his 10th floor
suite in the Biltmore and watch
ed the Republican candidate's ar
rival at Grand Central.
But the closest they came was
when Mr. Truman rode past the
National Women's Republican
club where Mr. and Mrs. Dewey
were honor guests at a reception.
Wallace spoke during the day
in the Bronx, Harlem and Queens.
So did Mr. Truman. Dewey, who
had followed the President
through Chicago, Cleveland, Bos
ton and now New York, was set
to make Madison Square Garden
appearances unanimous with his
final major speech of the campaign.

Truman with 24 percent; Dewey
with 17 percent; Wallace with
15 percent and Thurmond with

Citizens Flock
To Blood Bank

If citizens of Shelby flock to
the Red Cross blood collection
unit which opened up for business

On the eve of its arrival a
young mother and her newborn
child lay dying in a hospital
here. An emergency call for
blood went out and State High

from the regional blood center
at Charlotte.
Officials said the blood which
saved the pair's life may have
been collected elsewhere by the
unit which made its first visit
today.

Policy Views
NEW YQRK, Oct. 29. (UP)
President Truman said tonight
that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey had
attacked the conduct of foreign
affairs in a manner that had "torn
off the mask of bipartisanship."
Asserting that Dewey had seen
fit to drag foreign affairs into the
political arena, the President de
voted an entire major speech to
that subject, attacking the Re
publican party as a force of iso
lation and reaction that could
"end the hope for which this gen
eration of mankind has sacri
ficed so much."
He charged that the Republi
cans were preparing to kill the
reciprocal trade program, that
they had tried to "mutilate" the
Marshall Plan and that Ameri
can Communists were working
for a Republican victory as the
surest method of insuring a de
pression that would weaken U.S.
influence abroad and spread mis
ery at home.
His prepared speech was de
livered at a Brooklyn rally after
another busy day of campaigning
in the nation's busiest city which
included motorcades and speeches
in Westchester county, the Bronx
and Harlem.
The Presidential party leaves
for St. Louis tonight for an election-eve
address there before Mr.
Truman goes on to Independence

Poor Management Of Program Blamed on SEC
By Sam Whitehall
Poor management of Memorial
hall by the btuaeni jnxeriam
ment' committee for Hazel Scott's
recital Thursday night caused
confusion and hard feeling among
a numuer ui ...w,
waiting in registration-size lines,
were finally admitted to the
auditorium.
- Scotty Venable, student chair
man of the committee, had pre
viously urged that students should
arrive as early as possible be
cause of the expected capacity
crowd. He stressed that seats
would be on a "first-come, first
serve" basis. The concert was
scheduled to begin at 8:30.
However, people who arrived
at 7 o'clock were greeted by lock
doors, although 100 or so stu
dents could be seen inside the
hall, down in the front-row seats.
All side exits were locked, and
when one of these doors was fi
nally opened, a surly man of
some official capacity snapped
that orders were to open the doors
at 7:30. When someone remarked
that the Daily Tar Heel story had
said, "First come, first serve," the
official' answered "that's too bad."
He shut the door.
By 7:30, two double lines flowed
away irom Memorial nail into
the dark. The crowd was so bulky
when the doors finally opened
about 7:45 the required I.D. cards
were, in most instances, unneces
sary.
Students were not the only
ones to note or complain of the
careless preparation for the pro
gram. Miss Scott was left in a
somewhat uneasy situation, also.
She arrived at the auditorium be
tween 6 o'clock and 6:30 o'clock,
accompanied by her traveling
companion. A small group of Scott
enthusiasts had ambled in through
a lone open side door, and they
were treated to an unexpected
impromptu practice session.
The very cordial Miss Scott did
not object to the audience, but
she was chagrined and rightly
so by the coat of dust on the
keyboard. She left the stage, and
her companion came out with a
cloth and cleaned the keys.
A talk with the pianist a few
minutes later revealed that she
had been told nothing of arrange
ments for a microphone or elec
tricians. As a matter of fact, there
was no one backstage at the time
except Miss Scott, her companion
and a DTH reporter.
Chairman Venable was located
by telephone and he seemed sur-
on
some
prised that Miss Scott was
campus. There had been
confusion about the time of ar
rival and the hour of the concert,
he said. Venable added that
everything would be taken care
of and that he was coming right
over. It was alter ociock.
The lights and microphone were
finally set up, but an entrance
cloth which Miss Scott had re
quested and ' which would have
protected the beautiful, white
satin gown she wore, never ma
terialized. By 8 o'clock the hall was full.
I By 10:30 the artist had captivated
the entire audience but the pre
concert rush and helter-skelter
management of the hall will be
remembered by many of those
present, and perhaps by Miss
Scott as well.
GREENWOOD, S. C, Oct. 29.

more watched a child skipping
along with a home-made pin
wheel spinning in the breeze
two years ago, and he got to
thinking "why not an engine."
So he invented one, on the
pinwheel theory.
Now this engine of Skidmore's
requires no starter, no rods, no
pistons, no rings, no carburetor.
It does use one spark plug.
It will operate on gasoline,
fuel oil, kerosene and powdered
or flowered coal, the sergeant
explains.
What's more, says Skidmore,
his turbine-type internal com
bustion engine will operate on
one-sixth the fuel used by present
engines.
This unparticular engine works
on the principle of a pinwheel
set in a casing, driven by com
bustion pressure fed through pots,
Skidmore explains.
It weighs 190 pounds and will
turn up 151 horsepower.
Just to make sure nobody else
gets ideas watching a kid with
a pinwheel, Skidmore had pat
ented his contraption.

"I had hoped we would get
through this political campaign
without the Republican candi
date dragging American foreign
policy into party politics," the
resident said in his Brooklyn
peech.
"But he has seen fit to attack
the Democratic party's record on
foreign policy. He has attacked
my conduct of foreign affairs in
unmeasured terms. He has torn
off his mask of bipartisanship
and revealed the ugly partisan
passion underneath."
Then he discussed the record
of ,the two major parties on
foreign affairs. In so doing, the
resident indirectly answered
Russian Premier Josef Stalin who
said in a Pravda interview yester
day that Anglo-American leaders
were trying to foment a new war.
The leaders of the Soviet Un
ion are the victims of their own

nessee. Tennessee is currently
leading the series, with nine wins
to the Tar Heels' seven. Only one
game ended in a tie, that one be
ing a 0-0 affair back in 1919.
Last year at Chapel Hill Car
olina came out on top with a 20-6
decision. The show was all
Charlie Justice, who scored one
touchdown and flipped passes to
John Tandy and Bob Cox for
the other two. The only Tennes
see score came on a 42 yard pass
from Hugh Becker to Ronnie
Bergmeier.
Held Tennessee
Other than that touchdown
pass, the Tar Heels seemed to
hold the Vols in check, allowing
them only 11 yards on the ground
and 88 yards through the air.
The Tennesseans collected only
three first downs to the Tar
Heels' 19.
However, it may be a different
story today, for the Tar Heels
have no less than four key men
out of the lineup duo to injuric;
Tackle Ted Hazelwood, Center
Al Bernot, and backs Fred Sher

for possibly the remainder of the
season.
But Carolina is still very cap
able of putting a first class team
against Neyland. The starting
backfield of Justice, Hosea Rod
gers, Paul Rizzo, and Johnny
Clements is one of the best ever
seen in these parts and the Vols

Weiner starred last week against
LSU when he made a spectacular
one-handed catch of a Justice
pass as he fell to the ground 10
yards short of the LSU goal line.
A potent running attack will
be mixed in with the Tar Heel
passing. With Justice taking over
the role of "Mr. Outside" and
Rodgers that of "Mr. Inside",
Carolina will be putting a strain
on Tennessee's defensive abilities.

LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 29.
(UP) You can expect a different
looking chicken about 1951, a
U. S. Department of Agriculture
expert said today.
Just what the new bird will
be like, H. L. Shrader would not
guess. He said, however, he was
sure it definitely will pack more
and better meat.
Groundwork for the chicken
of the future was laid at a meet
ing of poultry men on the Uni
versity of Kentucky campus here.
The poultry men decided to
launch a "chicken-of-tomorrow"
contest. It will be on a state and
regional basis in 1949 and 1950,
with a final National contest in
1951.
The breeder who comes up
with the most robust rooster or
the huskiest hen will get a size
able cash price, amount not yet
determined.
The poultry experts think this
may improve the whole fowl
situation.
