Ward Peacock, a member of this year's graduating class ,in the University and president of J'hi Dcta Kappa, learned yester day that his essay won $500 of fered as second prize in a contest conducted by the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers for the best critical appraisals of the NAM's 54th annual Congress of American Industry.

A native of Chapel Hill, not yet 21, he was valedictorian of his high school class at Gordon Military College , in Barnesville, Ga., and has won? numerous honors at the Univer sity, where his father is professor of accounting. In his $500 prize winning paper, Peacock noted that the theme of the conference was "New Strength for America," and com mented: "To one who had no informa tion in advance concerning the nature of the events which were to unfold during the three well packed days of the Congress, the scope of such a theme loomed large. There were many alterna tives to choose from when you began to seek the answer to the question where to obtain this 'New Strength for America."' But as soon as the Congress got under way it was apparent, he continued, "that the source of new strength for America was to come, not so much from some revolutionary and untapped source, as from the preservation of the very principles which America has followed for over 170 years." These principles, he noted, were "freedom find free enter prise," which are responsible, he said, "for the tremendous and meteoric growth of this yet young nation into the productive power which it is today." Peacock, after analyzing the messages of the numerous speak ers and observing that many focused on the threats to freedom they s'aw in. excessive govern mental control, concluded.
