Post History Dorsey Says If Seems That XAII Is Forgiven' By Lincoln Kan iHe said he wanted to spend more "Looks like all is , forgiven, time in Asheville so he could im hey?" said smiling Tommy Dor-prove his golf. "As a golf player sey to the students who greeted him. It was his second night's appearance at the mid-winter German dance set of 1949. He was referring to the "late unpleasantness" of 1946 when the Order of the Grail brought suit against him for not bringing his complete band to Chapel Hill. Dorsey said, "It was an un necessary mix-up in which both of us got hurt. But frankly," he grinned, "by the faces I have seen at the concert and last night's dance everything is swell and is past history. It always has been with me!" The mellow trombone artist first came to Carolina in 1935. A repeat performance was given in 1936 and in 1938 he was brought back again. A year before the boys began wearing khaki, T. D. showed up bringing the hit pa rade number "I'll Never Smile Again" to the Tar Heels after its initiation at the University of Georgia, during the fall of .1940. Carolina contributed to the Dorsey popularity, when Bruce Snyder, a member of Freddie Johnson's band. was hired by I T.D. to fill in the then vacant baritone saxaphone spot. Snyder ! was from Monroe. Dorsey said, "He was really good, I wish he had come back with us after his hitch in the Army." "Times have changed since the days before the war," Dorsey sighed. "It used to be, a band could be identified with some number and gain prominence that way. Now, the record com panies and music publishers are one jump ahead of us. A song is popular before it can be identi fied vith any one band," he com plained. Answering the requests of the many dancers crowded around him, Dorsey said, "See what I mean about the identification? I'm going to have the boys play Marie and Song of India. Those are the two pieces of music that put us iAto the big time." Dorsey remarked that he liked the Tar Heel state very much. Army Reveals Knox As Document Cache FORT KNOX, Ky., Feb. 12 (UP) The Army revealed today that the underground gold de pository here was the wartime hiding place of this nation's most priceless documents. .-.-.v. . a vs -'-'-'Jrv,,,'."-vi-t.'iW-Vk'-'-,.v - - Vr'Wtw'JgwiHCSfiiiaiy' Im a better musician." His managers, Frank Driscoll and George Thompson, said Dor sey is constantly on the look-out for new talent. At present he is pushing two men. One is his arranger, Louey B'elson, whom T. D. calls a Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa rolled into one. Another man Dorsey is looking out for is his trumpeter Charlie Shaver who has got "one of the toughest lips for . a. good horn ride I ever heard."' . 'We Mean Business' Grandmotherly Task Force on By Barron Mills ARLINGTON, Tenn., Feb. 12 (UP) A grandmotherly, silver-haired mother is leading a task force of nearly 6,000,000 parents to wipe out comic books which bypass the funny bone and "rely on blood-thirsty violence .and scanty-clad females" for amusement. She is Arlington's Mrs. L. W. Hughes, the national president of the Parent-Teachers associa- tion. The fight,' Mrs. Hughes said, is not a new one, but one which was begun in 1941, halted brief ly because of the war, and re sumed with new vigor. "And we mean business," Mrs. Hughes said. "If the publishers won't listen to reason, perhaps they will heed their pocket books." It's not the family newspaper comics that are so disturbing to the parent-teacher group, but the unfunny funnies which instead of producing guffaws are "sex horror serials." The kindly mother explains that every month "one million dollars are taken from the pock ets of America's children in ex change for graphic insanity." For the parents who merely smile when junior planks down his dime for the "funny book," Mrs. Hughes said their hair would stand on end if they only flipped the cover. "Frankly we were not per turbed when we first heard about the rise of 'action' comics. We imagined, as do most parents, that they were not worse than the 'funnies' in the newspapers." Mrs. Hughes explained that the -u Tables Turned CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va Feb. 12 (UP) The University of Virginia got a telegram from Dr. Nathan Van Patten, famous expert on the frozen north, cancelling his speech scheduled here tomorrow night. He was snowbound in Utah, Dr. Van Patten explained. Naval Reserve Unit Will Meet Tomorrow The Naval Reserve air unit will hold its regular meeting to morrow night at 7:30 in Bing ham hall, Lt. R: E. Simpson, USNR, said yesterday. Topics to be discussed are or ganization, program, planning and individual training prospects. A membership campaign to in clude the Durham-Chapel Hill area will be undertaken soon by the group. Mother Leads Comic Books P.T.A. board is unanimous in thinking that the time is ripe to "take serious notice of the men ace to our children from over stimulating motion pictures, hair raising radio programs and in particular corrupting comic books." Of the 108 comic periodicals examined they found that at least 70 per cent of the total was "of a nature no respectable news- paper would think of accepting. We found that the bulk of the lurid publications depend for their appeal upon mayhem, murder, torture and abduction often with a child as the viclim." The Morning After Imports Prefer UNC, Six To One By Don Maynard With imports who "know their universities best, it's Carolina's ratio, six to one. So quoth three of the fair visitors yesterday after their first big evening of TD-style dancing at the Mid winter Germans. 1 Peggy Strickland, Jinx Schwartz and Judy Sanford, three "typical" imports, vehe mently backed up the statements they made Friday afternoon that the University is "impressive, beautiful and wonderful." - Peggy, from Bayhead, N. J., about-towning with Bud Sawyer, Phi Gam, said one of the things that attracted her was the way Carolina men cut in all the time at the dances. She said, "It was Officials Get Latest Attack On Dr. Frank Pamphlet Is Sent From Washington An unsigned attack against Dr. Frank Porter Graham turned up yesterday in the mailboxes of members of the yniversity facul ty and administration, and pre sumably of the Greater Univer sity trustees and members of the General assembly. The 'attack, mailed from Wash ington,' D. C, included the com plete text of a speech made on the floor of the United States House of Representatives on Feb. 3 by Rep. F. Edward Hebert, Democrat from Louisiana. He bert charged' at that time that Dr. Graham was being used as a tool of Communists, and that he was loaning Communist-front organizations the name and pres tige of the University of North Carolina. Dr. Graham did not receive a copy of the letter which appeared in the mails yesterday. It was in the form of a four-page pamphlet, with bold lines pro claiming, "If you are an Ameri can, if you are a North Caro linian, if you love your country, read this: The case against Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of the University of North Caro lina." It could not be definitely as certained yesterday just how widespread the circulation of the letters was. Paul Cheek, em ploye of the Chapel Hill post office, said a large number of the letters were handled in the early morning mail yesterday. Cheek estimated at least 40 or 50 letters were sent to Chapel Hill which had to be forwarded to persons throughout the state. He said he recognized the names of state legislators and members of the Board of Trustees. One of the letters was addressed to ex-Governor R. Gregg Cherry. The prologue to the pamphlet pointed out that the Atomic En ergy commission's security board recommended that Dr. Graham not be approved for access to atomic secrets. After the text of Heberfs speech, the pamphlet continued, "There is no evidence that Dr. Graham is a Communist. No one has charged that he is a mem ber of the party. But it is ar gued and proved that he has been a dupe of Communist and So cialist revolutionary activities." Carter Announces Air Reserve Meet Maj. C. C. Carter, president of the local Air Reserve association, announced yesterday that there will be a meeting of the 601st Air s Force reserve composite squadron at 7:30 tomorrow at 103 Bingham hall. According to Major Carter, the purpose of the meeting is to com plete the organization of the newly-formed squadron, make duty assignments, bring the per sonnel records of squadron mem bers up to date, and to discuss j the reserve training program. a lot of fun, dancing with all those different boys, and it gives a girl a line on the Southern style of dancing." Jinx, of Hazelton, Pa., sitting alongside ATOhost JimmieBurns didn't like the custom too well. "It's all right for a man to break a couple if the girl isn't enjoy ing her date. But when she en joj'S her company, it's not such a good idea." Jinx and Peggy disagreed on the gentlemanly manners of the Carolina male. Said Jinx, "The men here cut in too fast. They don't give a girl the chance to say yes or no; they just take hold of her and that's it." Peggy countered with, "Men down here are much more friend Answered Gov. Kerr Scott reaffirmed his stand yesterday that he would "ask and insist" that tuition rates be raised for the three units of the Greater University, but at the same time Victor Bryant, member of the Board of Trustees, pointed out that the North Caro lina constitution said benefits of the University should be provid Theologist Will Address Students, Townspeople Dr. Reinhold Niebhur, author, professor at the Union The ological seminary and one of the world's outstanding theo logians, will speak to students and townspeople in Hill hall tonight at 7; 30. Dr.' Niebhur, who is the editor ' of the quarterly "Christianity and Society" and of the bi-weekly "Christianity and Crisis" will speak this morning at Duke uni versity's chapel in Durham and will lecture tomorrow in Durham and Raleigh.

He has written such boks as "Does Civilization Need Reli gion," "Moral Man and Immoral Society," "Beyond Tragedy," "An Interpretation of Christian Eth ics," and many others. Time magazine said about Dr. Niebhur, "Reinhold Niebhur's new orthodoxy is the old-time religion put through the intellec tual wringer. It is re-examination of orthodoxy for an age dominated by such trends as ra tionalism,, liberalism, Marxism, fascism, idealism, and the idea of progress."

Marshall, published by the University press, will be dramatized on the Cavalcade of America program over the NBC network on March 21, it was announced here yes terday.

Dorothea Dix, for whom Dix Hill is named, has been called one of the great humanitarians of her time. ly when they cut in. They're just as much a gentleman ' as those up north. In fact, it seems that a Carolina boy appreciates a girl more than fellows at home." Judy, of Chatham, N. J., soph omore and psychology major at Woman's college, is looking for ward to perhaps attending the University next fall. She said, "I'm a damyankee, and proud of it." Jinx was overwhelmed by the University buildings. "I just stood looking at the campus buildings like a visitor would stare at "the skyscrapers of New York," she said. And all three said in one voice, "I'm in no hurry to go home!" Ulfl on sy ed "free of expense for tuition" if possible. Scott said he would insist on the tuition raise so state-supported schools will not be put at an advantage over church schools which do not receive state funds. The governor said the Greater University should not compete - REINHOLD NIEBHUR South Building Clarifies Stand On Green Forms Students in the General college and the Commerce school whose green forms for spring quarter registration required changing have already been notified and the changes made, registration officials announced yesterday.

But the state constitutional passage Bryant referred to, arti cle 9, Section 7, reads: "The General assembly shall provide that the benefits of the University, so far as practicable, be extended to the youth of the state free of expense for tuition." President Frank Porter Gra ham of the Greater University would make no comment yester day on Scott's stand on the tui tion question. Scott said the matter "is en tirely up to the Board of Trus tees. The legislature," he con tinued, "can take no action. I will make the recommendation as stated before and it will be up to the board to act." Expanding his remarks, Scott said, "I feel that in the light of the economic situation of state institutions, with a great demand for increased service, it is nec essary at this time to provide the funds. "There is no attitude to penal ize these institutions," the gover nor explained. "It's just the idea that the legislature is giving a big appropriation to carry on their program and it is all un der the taxpayers' expense." Scott pointed out that tuition has not been changed in 25 years "and it should be changed now." "Certainly the economic situa tion has changed considerably in a quarter of a century," the gov ernor concluded. In answer to Scott's tuition stand, an official who refused to be named remarked that a num ber of state-supported institu tions throughout the country are tuition-free to in-state students. Among them he named the Uni versities of Kansas and Wiscon sin.
