Di Is Against
! Public Probes
By Government
Senate In Favor
f Of FBI Checks
The Dialectic senate went on
record Wednesday night as being
opposed to public "loyalty probes"
and favored secret investigations
by the Federal Bureau of Inves
tigation. Loyalty investigations by the
president's loyalty commission j
and the House committee on un-
American activities were con- i
demned during the heated debate, j
The bill presented by the Ways !
and Means committee was tabled, ,
after considerable debate on par- i
liamentary procedure, to make '
way for a substitute bill intro- 1
duced by Gus Graham. The sub- j
stitute bill would have placed
the Di on record as favoring
"leyalty probes" conducted in a
"fair manner." Graham called for
continued investigations by the
congressional committee in closed
hearings with only the results
released to the public.
Artie Murphey supported the
activities of the House committee
contending that all freedom
would be lost if the Communists
took over the country. He cited
favorably the activities of the
committee in investigation pro
Nazi groups during World War
II.
Bill Hardin attacked the loyalty
investigations conducted " in the
executive branch of the federal
government for condemning men
on the basis of who they knew
and what they read.
Gran Childress opposed the
House committee on un-American
activities contending that it was
wasting money by duplicating the
activities of the FBI.
Don Shropshire opposed the
publicity received by the loyalty
investigations and favored ex
pansion of the activities of the
FBI.
An amendment introduced by
Tom Mayfield restricted the in
vestigations to the Justice depart
ment. The amendment passed
by a standing vote of 15 to 9
after Mayfield condemned the
House committee for making a
fool of itself and accomplishing
nothing.

Tug-of-War
BERLIN. Wis.. Feb. 3 (UP)
The Community Chest sent a
sound truck out today to urge
residents to boycott the March
of Dimes.

veloped when the Community
Chest offered the local March
of Dimes campaigners a check

some voluntary contributions arc
still coming in.

He described his tour of Russian-dominated
European coun

Otto spoke vehemently of the
Russian obsession, expressing
surprise at Americans who did
not comprehend the tremendous
accumulation of power made by
the Russians during the past six
months. "If the American people
were told of the full Russian
menace," he said, "they would

Declaring Stalin a "brilliant

Stalin's philosophyNevertheless,
he said, "the mark of a great
leader is the number of great col

The Archduke, whose family
dates back to 860 A.D., said he
preferred the European private
method of education to the
American state-supported sys

A total of 151 teachers, the
largest number since 1930, will
graduate from the University as
qualified teachers by next Sep

the School of Education announc
ed yesterday.
"Enrollment in the beginning
classes this year indicates that
the graduating group in 1950 will
number approximately 200 stu
dents," he said.
Dean Phillips stated that a new
plan of teacher preparation had
been put into effect which pro
vides more actual observation and
student teaching experience for
those qualifying for a teacher's
certificate.
Three separate plans of prac
tice teaching are now in opera
tion at the University, according
to Dean Phillips. First, a limited
number of students are, permit

the Chapel Hill high school.
Another croup consists of stu

practice teaching in an actual
school situation."

Sullivan Orders
Navy Reshuffling
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (UP)
Secretary of Navy John L.
Sullivan today ordered the Navy
to reshuffle its fighting strength
immediately so it can stay with
in President Truman's tighter new
fiscal 1950 budget.
He ordered 72 ships taken out
of active service, cut the Navy
Air Force by 418 planes, said
13 Naval air stations would be
put on inactive or reduced status,
and pared down the officers and
enlisted strength of both the navy
and marine corps.
I contested in courts since 1942
involves the construction of a
museum and art gallery in his
memory.
The court's decision, written by
Justice Wilber K. Miller, with
Justices Edgerton and Clark con
curring, reversed a 1947 ruling
which held that the money should
go to Rollins college, Fla.
The original will, drawn up in
1938, left the money to Duke
university. The bequest was sub
sequently refused by Duke. An
earlier will designated that the
bequeath be left to either Duke,
the University of North Carolina,
or Rollins college.
After Duke refused the offer,
Ackland's heirs brought the is
sue to court. Judge Bailey of the
District Court of Appeals direct
ed the trustees of the will to
study the claims of the two col
leges. The trustees spent two years
investigating and finally decid
ed that the proper site for the
museum was in Chapel Hill.
During the two years, Judge
Bailey left the court. When the
recommendations were submit
ted, on July 25, 1947, his suc
cessor, Judge Alexander Holtzoff,
disregarded them.
Judge Holtzoff's verdict was
that the money should go to
Rollins.
Yesterday, Justice Miller held
that the findings of the District
court were erroneous and revers
ed Holtzoff's decision. He held
that the money should go to
the University because it was
more in line with the wishes
expressed in Ackland's will.
Yesterday, Dr. Frank P. Gra
ham made the following state
ment about the late William
Ackland:
"William Hayes Ackland lov
ed the people of his native south
land, and he long dreamed of
the establishment, at a Southern
university, of an inspiring center
that would increase the people's
knowledge, appreciation and en
joyment of art. His will provided
for this noble cause.
"Now after esveral years of
legalistic entanglements, and
chiefly through the determination
of his trustees, Messrs. John

Sex Education
WASHINGTON. Feb. 3
(UP) Experts of the Ameri
can Social Hygiene associa
tion sat back and listened to
day lo four high school and
college students tell how ihey
think sex education should be
taught lo youth.
The 'teen-agers gave their
views in a panel discussion at
the association's annual con
vention. They told the psychol
ogists and physicians among
other things that parents are
harder lo educate than their
offspring, and that schools need
a standardized program of sex
education.
The four participants were
not unanimous in their opin
ions. Two felt that schools were
a good medium for leaching
sex education, but that courses
bieng taught these days were
inadequate. Another thought
that a change in ihe public at
titude loward ihe sex problem
was needed.
The fourth said thai a "sex
course does no more lo develop
a pupil's character than a
course in history or a good stiff
drink."
