BSA to Collect
Relief B undies
"A bundle on every doorstep'
might be the slogan of the Used
Clothing Campaign this year.
Chapel Hill townspeople will
have an opportunity to contri
bute bundles of old clothing to
World Relief Sunday afternoon',

The Boy Scouts, under the
feadership of S. Y. Tyree and
William Hammett, will collect
the clothing in trucks donated by
some of the local merchants.
A. C. Howell, chairman of the
drive this year, says, "Hundreds
of thousands of displaced persons
in Europe, victims of war and
floods in the Far East and in the
islands of the Pacific still need
the used clothing of prosperous
America. You, through your
church, are asked to give what
you can in the annual Used
Clothing Campaign of the Chapel
Hill churches.
"Sunday afternoon, May 15, the
"Boy Scouts will call at your home
to collect any articles of cloth
ing you can give in this worthy
cause. Baby's clothing, men's
work clothes, suits, overcoats and
shoes are most needed. Any ar
ticles will be accepted."
Material collected here will be
sent to the Warehouse of the
Church World Service in New
Windsor, Maryland, for shipment
abroad.
Bill Freeman has rounded up
trucks from the Electric Con
struction Company, Bennet and
Blocksidge, Farmer's Dairy, and
Ogburn Furniture which will be
gin the rounds of the town at
2:30 Sunday afternoon.
The students' drive will begin
May 15 and last a week.
School Officials
Get Federal Fine
? In Racial Disnute
RICHMOND, Va., May 5
(UP) Four Gloucester county
school officials were fined $250
each yesterday afternoon for con
tempt of a federal court order to
end racial discrimination in the
county school system.
The fines were the result of a
suit against the officials spon
sored by the national association
for the advancement of colored
people.
"This case," said Martin A.
Martin, local attorney and
spokesman for the NAACP, "may
help avoid the necessity of our
having to file similar suits against
other counties."
Martin expressed satisfaction
with the fines imposed by Judge
Sterling Hutcheson. Martin has
asked that a "substantial" fine
be levied against the school
board.
Judge Hutcheson said his court
order against discrimination
would continue in effect. He is
sued the injunction in April 1948.
The suit brought by the
NAACP charged that Negro pu
pils in Gloucester county were
nnt. Pivpn educational opportuni
ties equal to those given white
children. Hutcheson ordered the
county to equalize education and

Phi to Debate
On Abolishment
Of Government
Speaker pro-tem Emily Baker
announced yesterday that the
Philanthropic Assembly will con
duct a forum type debate on abol
ishing student government in Phi
Hall, New East from 7:30 until
9:00 next Monday night.
Dean D. D. Carroll and Bob
Coulter have been invited to lead
the affirmative and Dean Fred
Weaver and Charlie Britt have
asked to support the present self-
governing system.
The forum has been scheduled
in conjuncture with a member
ship rally. Miss Baker urged all
members, inactive members, for
mer members, and future mem
bers to attend the assembly.
The recent action taken by dis
satisfied students at Elon College
in dissolving their student gov
ernment was the origin of the
idea by some Carolina students
that U.N.C. take similar steps,
according to one Phi member.
Due to the Young Democratic
Club rally on Tuesday night the
Assembly voted to move the de
bate up to Monday evening.
Speaker Bill Duncan will serve
as moderator of the forum.
Senators Reject
New Amendment
To Education Aid
One coed and eight men were
elected to membership in the
Dialectic Senate during its execu
tive session Wednesday night,
Don Shropshire, Di president, an
nounced yesterday.
The new members are Bett
Pleasants, Bob Clampitt, Archie
Myatt, Edgar Williams, Joe Clark,
Ed Hatch, Jack Roland, Bill Roth,
and J. C. Rush.
The new members will be initi
ated in a public ceremony next
Wednesday night.
The Di voted down its regular
discussion bill which would have
put the Di on record as favoring
a federal Fair Employment Prac
tices Commission. There was con
siderable heated discussion with
strong support for both sides, but
the bill was defeated by a larg f
majority.
Supporting the bill were John
Sanders, Cliff Horton, Toby Sel
by, Bill Harding, and Murry
Goldenthal. Opposing FEPC were
Joe Clark, J. C. Rush, Artie Mur-
phey, Tom Mayfield, Edgar Wil-
iams, Jim Southerland, Jim Mc
Lean, and Bill Roth.
A substitute bill introduced by
Sam Manning was also defeated.
he substitute favored a FEPC
with powers to investigate but not
regulate employment.
A resolution which favored the
granting of United Nations mem
bership and economic aid to the
state of Israel was discussed brief-
y but heatedly. It was refered
back to the Ways and Means
Committee with the recommenda
tion that it be made the topic lor
the next discussion meeting,
dent Party, was called "a man
who has taken charge of certain
things only to kill them" by Jim
Southerland, a former member of
the Legislature (CP) who ob
tained the privileges of the floor
to attack the Mackie appointee.
The student solons finally voted
to postpone consideration of the
appointment until next week's
session, after more than one-half
hour of squabbling over several
related motions.
Southerland took the floor' to
state that he had been working
on the NSA purchase card system
for some time, and he did not
want to see it get into the hands
of anyone who did not have its
best interests at heart.
"I have seen Mr. Childress put
personal gain over the good of
the student body," Southerland
concluded.
Speaker Ted Leonard, ruling
last night's session with an iron
hand, then recognized several
legislators, including Bill Prince,
Sol Kimerling, Graham Jones, all
SP, and Marshall Roberts (UP),
who spoke in defense of Childress
and urged the immediate approv
al of the appointment.
Dave Sharpe (UP) moved to
postpone consideration of the ap
pointment until the next legisla
tive session, the motion which
was later passed to end the ap
pointment fight.
Emily Sewell (SP) made an
out-of-order motion for a closed
session, which she repeated even
after Sharpe's motion was passed.
She charged that legislator Hal

ist of the move to postpone con

Others Elected
WASHINGTON, May 5 (UP)
The Senate today rejected by
voice vote a proposal to write in
to its education-aid bill a pro
vision to make school transpor
tation funds available for stu
dents of private and parochial
schools, as well as public schools.
Sen. Brien McMahon (D.
Conn.) offered the unsuccessful
amendment as the Senate pushed
toward passage of the bill to pro
vide $300,000,000 a year in fed
eral education grants to states.
Sen. Robert A. Taft (R.-O.)
said the McMahon proposal con
flicted with "the basic theory of
the bill" that the federal gov
ernment will not interfere with
the states in their administration
of education programs.
McMahon countered that Con
gress did not "discriminate" in
its school lunch and school health
programs. He said use of federal
funds for school transportation
costs does not violate the con
stitutional separation of church
and state under Supreme Court
constitutional separation of
church and state under Supreme
Court rulings.
He pointed out that the for
mula for determining state al
lotments under the bill itself is
determined by a census of all
Nchildren in each state 5 to 17
$ y ears old.
