Carolina Quarterly
Appears Tuesday
Carolina's literary magazine,
The Carolina Quarterly, will ap
pear on campus Tuesday contain
ing CI pases of fiction, book re
views, poetry and a feature story
by Agatha Boyd Adams on
"Thomas Wolfe at Chapel Hill."
The Wolfe article, Quarterly
E'Jitcr Harry Snowdcn said, "is
based on Wolfe's work as it ap
peared in the Carolina Magazine
end Tho Dally Tar Heel. The
feature continuing the series on
Southern writers is an attempt
to form a new estimate of the
famouse writer at variance with
the one he himself gave in "Look
Homeward Angel."
Also featured is an article an
alyzing the detective story, "In
nocent Merriment," by Hugh Hol
man, well known writer of detec
tive stories, Snowden said.
Dr. Roy K. Marshall, Morehead
Planetarium director, and Science
Editor of the Philadelphia Even
ing Bulletin, has contributed an
article on "The Uses of Astron
omy." Fiction for the issue includes
"Retaliation" by Gerald Lang
ford, professor of creative writ
ing at the University of Texas.
Snowden said this story should
appeal to a large part of the cam
pus because of its sex angle.
Johnnie Koontz, writer for the
Salisbury Post, makes her first
appearance as a magazine author
with "White Gloves." University
student Robert Fowler rounds out
the fiction section with "Foun
tain Filled With Blood."
A two-page center spread has
been devot"d to the poem "Vale
diction" by Albeit Paris Leary.
I-caiy, a student at Centenary
Collie, is also Editor of the
"Centenary Review." John Fos-
ter West, John Nixon, Jr., and
many others have contributed
poetry to this issue.
Book reviews in this issue are
concerned mainly with those
books which should appeal to
a Southern audience, Snowden
saul.
Ch:m'4i' of address may be filed
with the magazine by writing to
Box 111. or coming directly to
the Quarterly office in Graham
Memorial.
Contributions for the winter
issue should be submitted for
judgement by the board of edi
tors before Jan. 10, Snowden

May Slated To Receive
Pension Even In Prison
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-(P)-
. A 1
Former Representative narew
J. May will receive a monthy
government pension of about $280
all the time he is in prison and
for the rest cf his life when he
gets out.
May's conviction on a war
frauds charge and Thomas' de
cision not to defend a charge that
he cot "kickbacks', from nctitous
employes on his payroll do not
affect their benefits under the
1946 law making members of
Congress eligible for Civil Ser
vice pensions.
Both May, who was due to
start serving eight months to two
years in federal prison at Ash
land, Ky., starting Monday, and
Thomas, who faces the court's de
cision on his "Nolo contendere"
plea next Friday, were among the
first to make themselves eligible
for the pensions.
Although May, then chairman
of the House Military Affairs
Committee, was defeated for re
election in 1946, the Kentucky
Democrat paid the required $2,
716 lump sum contribution and
according to House Sergeant-at
Arms spokesmen, started drawing
his pension early in 1947. Because
he then was an ex-member and
already was past the retirement
age of 62, he made no further
payments.
Thomas can't draw a pension as
long as he is a member of Con
gress. But, even if he resigns as
his colleagues expect, he won't
be able to cash in until he is
62. He is 54 now. His payments
into the pension fund will cease
when he leaves Congress.
Probe Is Called
To Investigate
Atom Shipping
, Ex-Army Captain
Says Russia Aided
By Harry Hopkins
WASHINGTON Dec. 3-(P)-
Congressional investigators got
orders today to check into broad
cast charges that the late Harry
Hopkins helped the Russians
speed large shipments they called
uranium and "bomb power" out
of the United States by air during
the war.
; The order came from Senator
McMahon (D-Conn), chairman
of the joint Congressional Com
mittee on Atomic Energy, He di
rected the committee's staff to
look into the matter, checking
military security angles partic
ularly. The charge was leveled by
former army Captain G. Racy
Jordan in a radio interview con
ducted by Fulton Lewis, Jr., Fri
day, night. Jordan said his state
ments were based on his personal
knowledge gained when he was a
lend-lease inspector at Great
Falls, Mont., in 1943 and 1944.
The sensational nature of Jor
dan's statement, involving the
name of Franklin D. Roosevelt's
principal confidential adviser,
brought demands from several
lawmakers for a thorough airing
of the matter.
"Utterly unbelievable," com
mented Stephen T. Early, former
press secretary to Roosevelt and
new Undersecretary of Defense
Jordan said that despite Hop
kins' injunction, he reported
about the Russian shipments to
Maj. Gen. Junius W. Jones.
Shrine Bowl Victory
Goes To Af.C, 20-7
CHARLOTTE, Dec. 3f North Carolina's alert, hard-hitting
high school forces whipped South Carolina, 20,-7, today in the annual
Shrine Bowl football game before an overflow crowd of 20,000.
Scoring twice in the second period, the Tar Heels reached the
intermiGcion on top, 14-0, then made it 20-0 in the third quarter.
The lone tally for the loser came in the opening minutes of the
fourth period.
The victory was North Carolina's first in four years in the 13-
year-old series. The last two games had ended in 7-7 ties. The Tar
Heels now lead, 6-3, with four ties. The 20 points marked their
highest point total since they scored an identical 20-7 victory in 1943.
The score just about told the difference between the teams.
Coached by Tony Simeon of High Point High School, the winners
rolled for 318 yards on the ground and added 43 more on passes.
South Carolina could muster only 128 running and 19 passing. First
downs favored North Carolina, 17-10.
North Carolina's heavier line won the battle up front to make
it easier for the Tar Heel backs to pile up the yardage. Touchdown
makers for the winners were Quarterback Harold Carter of Lex
ington, and Halfbacks-Ray Triplett of Wilkesboro and Billy Gardner
of Wilson. Gardner's score was the most sensational of the day,
coming on a 73-yard run just after a South Carolina drive in the
third period had been checked on the 27.
Truman Seeks Advice

flash fire in a wooden dormitory
at the University ; of Oklahoma
burned to , death three students
early this morning. Two others
were unaccounted for and 21 were
injured, two critically.
More than 300 escaped unin-
jured.
Two of the dead have been
identficd. They are Sammy J. La
rue son of Sam J. Larue, Rt. 3,
Clinton, Okla., and Maurice
Ahcarn, Killingsworth, Conn.
There were 349 men students in
the dormitory.
Awakened suddenly in the
early morning hours, many of
them jumped from the windows
of the sprawling two-story wood
en structure, formerly used as a
Navy barracks. Long after the
flames had died away, leaving
only the building's concrete sup
ports standing like tombstones in
a graveyard, university officials
worked feverishly to identify the
dead and missing.
It was a tedious job because an
unknown number of dormitory
residents had departed for the
week-end. Officials narrowed the
list of those unaccounted for to
three, in addition to three whose
bodies were recovered but uni-
dentfied.
They declined to name any of
the six, saying it would cause
unda worry among relatives of
studeiis who may not have been
in the building but have not been
located. .
. Firemen continued to dig
through the ruins, while univer
sity workers sought to contact the
missing students or their families
Anxious parents were swamping
the university switchboard with
telephone calls from all over the
country.
With the origin of the fare
which enveloped the building in
less than ten minutes, still unde
termined, estimates of the dam
age ran beyond half a million
dollars.
The office of Dr. George L.
Cross, university president,
placed the loss at around $500,
000. Property Custodian L. J.
Hughes said it would be between
$600,000 and $700,000, not includ
ing students' personal losses.
University Fire Chief Claude
Summers said campus dormito
ries are inspected monthly. He
said the dormitory destroyed to
day was inspected Nov. 8.

'Go Forward'
Gets Approval
Of Legislature
Carolina Voters
On Winning Side
Except Two Men
By Chuck Hauser
RALEIGH, Dec. 3 Gover
nor Kerr Scott got a vote of
confidence from college stu
dents in North Carolina to
day, but it wasn't unanimous.
The 13th annual State Student
Legislature passed a resolution
praising the Governor's "Go For
ward Program" with few neg
ative votes, but among those few
were the North Carolina State
College delegations in the Seriate
and the House. Scott is a State
alumnus.
The mock General Ascmbiy,
composed of 169 students from
22 white and Negro colleges ana
universities in the state, adjourn
ed late today after holding ses
sions Thursday night and all day
yesterday in the state capitol.
The House pased the resolu
tion by a 41 to 19 vote and the
Senate approved it 28-15 after
vigorous debates in both cham
bers. The State-delegation asked
that they be officially put on
record as opposing the resolution.
They explained that they felt
they had shown they were be
hind the Governor, by their ac
tions during his entire term of
office, but they did not under
stand exactly what the "Go For
ward Program" was, and there
fore could not vote for it.
The delegations charged that
the primary reason the resolu
tion was brought to the floor was
to "apologize for the booinc of
the Governor by University of
North Carolina students at the
UNC-State football game Sept.
24." The motion was written and
introduced by Carolina students
Dick Murphy and Al Lowenstein.
Murphy, elected chairman of
the Legislature's Interim Council
Thursday night, brought up the
measure in the House." while
Lowenstein introduced it in the
Senate.
Among the nays on the Scott
resolution were two Carolina
votes, one in the House and one
in the Senate. Charlie Gibson was
the dissenter in the lower house
and Art Murphy cast the nega
tive ballot in the upper chamber.
Opinion was varied on the
exact "whys" of the State dele
gation's voting on the measure.
The consensus seemed to indicate
a belief that the State delegates
were a bit put out when the
Carolina delegation sponsored
the bill complimenting the pro
gram of the State College alum
nus who suggested that the 7iew
UNC teaching hospital could be
used to take care of Carolina
players after the State game.
Other legislation approved yes
terday included, a state automo
bile mechanical inspection law, v
resolution condemning any non
Communist oath for faculty mem
bers or employees of the Greater
University, and an exemption in
the state sales tax law of wear
ing apparel, with the exception
of furs.
A bill to give North Carolina
governors the veto died for lack
of time in the session.
