nternational Secretariat Is Set
To Coordinate Student
A new -International secretariat
whose purpose is to coordinate
the work of the various national
unions of students in the Student
Mutual Assistance Program arose
from a meeting of representa
tives of 26 countries in Edin
burgh, Scotland, January , 3-8.
The - Coordinating Secretariat
headquarters will be in Holland,
probably in Leiden. It will be
under the continuous scrutiny of
a Supervisory Committee con
sisting of the USNSA, and the
National Unions ot England,
France, . Sweeden, , and Holland.
This is not a new international
union of students and is not di
rected against the communist
controlled International Union 'of
Students. It was established be
cause the latter organization was
unable to put aside political con
sider atipns : and cooperate on
practical projects, with non-communists.

For E
sche
DURHAM A move will be made by the North Carolina
College Alumni Association to have the State Legislature pro
vide for escheats to all of North Carolina's State-supported
schools.
The change would call for a constitutional amendment,
as the constitution states all escheats go to the Consolidated
University. . To amend the con-
stitution would require passage
by a three-fifths majority of both
houses of the Legislature and a
majority vote by the public in
a general election.
Prof. James T. Taylor of Dur
ham, president of the alumni
group, said the fact that' all es
cheats go to the University of
North Carolina "means that sev
eral of the smaller white institu
tions in North Carolina and all of
the state - supported schools for
Negroes receive no benefits from
these funds."
If a person dies without leav
ing a will or aisy heirs, an in
come tax refund check, salary
checks or any other type of pay
ment that is unclaimed, the mon
ey reverts to the Consolidated
University of North Carolina es
cheats fund.
The eschests fund was barely
bigger than, a piggy bank when
the first escheats officer was ap
pointed, but it totals $1,404,305
now and is used as a scholarship
fund for students attending one
of the University's schools.
"We have not scratched our po
tential. If they would give me
some laws with teeth I could
double the size , of the fund in
three years or I'd quit my job,"
Kemp S. Cates, present escheats
officer said yesterday in Chapel
Hill. :
His office is located on second
floor Graham Memorial in the
Student Activities office.
He said a few co-ops, mills, to
bacco companies, hospital asso
ciations, electric and telephone
utilities, railroads banks, and
munist press in England was very
abusive of the conference and
charged this . group with trying
to "divide the student community
by setting tip a rival organiza
tion." Communist students pick
eted the building at Edinburgh
University where the meeting
was held.
, NSA was one of the leaders in
setting up this secretariat. A res
olution passed at the Fourth Stu
dent Congress held at- Minne
apolis last August called for the
establishment of such a secre
tariat; NSA's president and in
ternational vice-president work
ed for this at the Edinburgh con
ference. The Student Mutual Assistance
Program is aimed at giving
technical assistance on problems
such as student housing, employ
ment, health, etc.-, by increasing
the exchange of ideas, informa
tion and persons. The secretariat
will coordinate . the . work of the
national unions, thus eliminating
overlapping, duplication of work,
and wasted effort. '

other corporations are. voluntar
ily turning over their unclaimed
funds.
Cates has sent letters to the
State's hundreds of mills and
manufacturing plans asking,"
How come?" But, he added, "They
never seem to care to reply?' '.
The University f bends over
backward in an effort to avoid
legal action for. what it considers
rightfully belongs to the escheats
fund. Cates emphasized that re
gardless of how; long escheats
money has been held,, it is re
turned to rightful owners : when
they present legitimate claims. ;
In 1947 Cates asked the State
Legislature for authority to look
into unclaimed accounts" held by
the State's numerous cotton, to
bacco, and other co-ops. "My
pleadings, never got to commit
tee," he said "The co-op lobby
ists were stronger than I and
n't apply to co-ops."
The escheats fund is handled
by the Wachovia Bank and Trust
Co. in the form of a permanent
trust. During the last fiscal year
the fund returned a yield of 3.9
per cent and was worth $50,-
000 in scholarships to about 320
students.
The scholarships are given to
needy, worthy Tar Heel residents
and are worth $100 a year at
N. C. State and Women's College.
Here they are good for tuition for
a. year. As the fund grows, the
greater will be the number of
scholarships.
