WASHINGTON. May 19 oT)
Tho U. S. C'rcuit Court of
Appeals upheld today the stiff
IO-I0-0O year treason sentence
Imposed on Mildred Elixabcth
(Axis Sally) Gillars for broad
casting Nazi propaganda to
American troops.
The three-judgo court unan
imously swept aside the argu
ments of lawyers for the gray
haired 49-ycar-old woman whose
sultry voice made her a radio
star for millions of GI's who
loved her American dance tunes
and laughed at her Nasi sales
talks.
The sentence carries with it
a $10,000 fme. It came on March
25. 1949. after a seven weeks'
lria. during which the jury
listened to her sobbing protests
that she never meant to betray
America.
Person Hall, the purpose of the
trip was to give' students in art
history and art studio an oppor
tunity to view the works of great
painters first hand. .
Under the guidance of Dr
Clement Sommer and Professor
George Kochergis, both of the
University Art Department, the
group first visited the Nationa
3nd Phillips Art Galleries in
Washington.
From there they journeyed to
Baltimore where they viewed
medieval manuscript illumina
tions. After returning to Wash
ington the group went to Rich
mond where they visited the
Richmond Gallery.
The trip took more than three
days. William Stars of the Art
Department described the tour as
'highly successful" and expressed
the hope that it would become an
mnual affair.

Rating Scale
Is Available
For Faculty
Student Opinion
Has Been Polled
By Faculty Group
A fresh supply of "The UNC
Teacher-Rating Scale" is being
printed and copies may be ob
tained by all instructors who may
wish to have an anonymous stu
dent rating of their courses and
their teaching, it was announced
yesterday by Dr. A. P. Hudson,
chairman of the Faculty Com
mittee on General College In
struction.
Dr. Hudson said that copies i
are available in his office at 208 !
Saunders Hall. !
The "Teacher-Rating Scale,"
modeled on one used successfully
at Michigan State College, was
introduced here by the Commit
tee on General College Instruc
tion in the spring of 1948, and
about 8,000 copies were used
then.
In the summer of that year the
University Testing Bureau tabu
lated tthe results, and these were
published to the students in the
DTH and to the faculty in a mim
eographed bulletin. Since then
the scale has been used every
quarter, in numbers totaling
15,000.
According to Dr. Hudson, the
Committee has pointed out from
the beginning, that the use of
the testing scale is a purely vol
untary matter for the individual
teacher to decide.
No one is urged or even re
quested to employ it; the Com
mittee has not criticized, and will
not criticize anyone for not using
it. But every instructor wishing
pus Xdoa b aas Xbuj autuiBxa oj
will be supplied with additional
copies for class use if he decides
to use it.

'Trouble Has No More Troubles
Because Of Hit-And -Run Motorist
By Charles McCorkle
A mottled brown boxer puppy
named "Trouble" died on Frank
lin Street yesterday afternoon.
The dog was the -victim of a
truck which never slowed its
pace as it ran the pup down with
its hind wheels. "Trouble" never
knew what hit her.
Football player Bill Wardle and
his wife, owners of the young
animal, knew they were at fault
for letting "Trouble" run loose.
And witnesses said the truck
driver could not be blamed the
dog scampered out suddenly from
between two parked cars in front
of the Alpha Gamma Delta
sorority house.
But the Wardles couldn't un
derstand why he raan neither
stopped to investigate nor slowed driver if he knew he had hit
down as he ended the life of their dog in Chapel Hill.
pet. -
A Duke student from Connecti
cut named Bill Williams, two cars
behind the death vehicle, put on
his brakes as he saw the
dog's body crumpled in the street.
When he realized that several
people standing on the sidewalk
were going to the animal's as
sistance, he stepped on the ac
celerator and headed out the
Durham highway after the truck.
Williams caught up with the
vehicle as it puiled into a narrow
driveway just beyond JackV
Drive-in near Durham. He noted
down the license plate, North
Carolina 903-924, and asked the
Yes, the man knew he .hit the
dog, but he couldn't avoid the
accident, Williams quoted him as
saying. Then, Williams reported,
the man changed his mind and
denied thai he knew he struck
the animal.
A short time later, armed with
Williams' information, Wardle,
student Perry HudnelL Walter
Carroll of The Durham Morning
Herald, and I went out the Dur
ham highway to find the owner
of the truck. The time was about
7:30 and daylight was disappear

George said, is the legislative
log-jam piling up in the Senate.
Pushing aside President Tru
man's recommendations, the
House committee today approved
new tax cuts this time about
$10,000,0t)0 for coal and metallur
gical limestone producers.
This action came right behind
yesterday's flat committee re
jection of the President's pro
posal for $200,000,000 additional
taxes on oil, gas, sulphur and
non-metallic minerals operators.
Meanwhile, Lreorge, wno is
chairman of the tax -framing Sen
ate Finance Committee, said
Congress must remain in session
until the end of August if it is
to complete action on tax legis
lation. Most legislators want to get
out of town much sooner than
that, to campaign for Novemb
ber's election.
George pointed out that the
tax bill still is before the House
Ways and Means Committee and
that before it gets to the White
House, the House must debate
and approve it, the Senate Fi
nance Committee must hold de
tailed hearings, the Senate act.
and then the two houses must
agree on a compromise version
of the bills they pass.
Emphasizing the log-jam of
legislation in the Senate, George
pointed out that it includes the
$29,000,000,000 one package ap
propriation bill.
Bill Albans, the versatile star
from Npw Jersey, led the Tar
Heels by setting a new Confer
ence record in the 220-yard low
hurdles, tieing the Conference
record in the 120-yard high hur
dles and setting a new Fetzer
Field record in the broad jump.
Albans ran the low hurdles in
23.2 seconds to break the old rec
ord of 23.5 set by Kinzle of Duke
in 1938. His time in the low hur
dles was 14.3 tieing the mark set
by Bill Corpening of Carolina
in 1940.
He broad jumped 24 feet, 10
inches to set the new Fetzer Field
record, almost nine inches off
the conference record of 25 feet,
six inches set by Wally Hamm
of Georgia Tech in 1928.
The track was very fast and
the weather perfect without a
sign of , a breeze, conditions
which may produce some of the
best performances in Southern
track history.
Six Carolinians took first place
in their qualifying round which
puts the Tar Heels into good po
sition to break their own record
of most points scored in th Con
ference meet and makes them al
most a sure thing to win the meet
for the fourth straight year.
Bob Kirk, defending champ in
the javelin, again leads the field,
having tossed the spear 198 feet,
seven inches. Three other Tar
Heels also qualified giving Car
olina a great advantage in this
event. They are: Skeets Baldwin,
Bob Payne, and Bernie Harris.
Another Tar Heel defending
champ, Hal Holden in the 880,
turned in the top time for his spe
cialty, being clocked in 1:56.5,
two-tenths of a second better
than his winning time of last
year. Maryland, represented by
Jim Umbarger and Tyson Cream
er, and Duke with Henry Bullock
and Art Loub, each sent two men
into the finals.
One of the top fields of the day
was produced in the 440, which
saw all three heats won in less
than 50 seconds. Gene Brigham of
Carolina won his heat in 49.7,
Wilbur Harrison of VMI took first
with the time of 49.4, and Charlie
Chambers of N. C. State won in
the time of 49.3. Last year the
winning time in the finals was
50.1. Buddy Grisso of Duke, Lad
die Terrell of Carolina, and Tyler
Wadsworth of State round out
the field which should produce
one of the most exciting races of
the meet today.
The hurdles ought to be two of
the high-scoring events for the
'Tar Heels, who have three men
in the fields of six for both the
low and highs. Albans, Bob
Morrow, and Garrett Fitzgibbons
will compete in the high hurdles,
while Albans, Morrow and Merl
Norcross run in the low hurdles.
Maryland and Duke will be
well represented in these events.
