Frank Graham expressed the belief today that the move to make him an ex-officio member of the University of Nort,h Car olina" Board of Trustees would be "an unwise precedent." A telegram from the former University president was read to the House of Representatives to day by Speaker Kerr Craige Ramsey. The House is slated to take action soon on a bill passed by the Senate which would make all ex-presidents of the Univer sity ex-ofTicio members of the board of trustees. In his telegram, Graham said: "I have just learned that the Senate today passed a bill that all ex-presidents of the Univer sity shall be ex-officio member of the board of trustees as long as they are residents of North Carolina. 1 "I believe this would be an un wise precedent. It is wise ad ministrative policy to have the new president unemcumbered with a past president on the board. I would appreciate your reading this telegram to the House of Representatives at the first favorable opportunity. With appreciation and best wishes."

When Communism Gains It Is Americans' Fault, Says Craig If Communism, Fascism or Socialism gain ground in this country, it is only because Americans are too complacent and too indifferent to do anything about them, Dr. Hardin Craig, professor of English in the University, said in an address before the Chapel Hill Rotary Club last night. "Thorn ic nnth i r cf nnu; QKniit " " "" " a regulated or regimented so ciety," Dr. Craig said. "It was centuries old when Babylon was founded and long antedates the pyramids, which significantly it brought into existence. Totali tarianism has : been the regular and not the exceptional thing in the government of human society. By far the greater part of the human race still live under sys tems which regulate the activi ties, the possessions, the privi leges, and the ambitions of the mass of men. This regulation of society is and has always been in the interests of a chosen few. "It has always been stultifying in its effects on humanity, al ways a frustration of progress, al ways a breeder of misery, always and ultimately a gigantic 'fail ure; yet at this very time this outworn system, equipped with new labels, supported by old fal lacies in new clothes, provided! with new, modern, subtle, and dangerous techniques, is spread ing over the world like fire in a prairie." Dr. Craig said there is no other government in line 'with nature, human nature, the course of human evolution, and, as we believe the will of God except a government by the people in accordance with the principle of liberty under the law.
