BRIEF
ABERDEEN, Md. The United
States is preparing to fire an act
ual atomic shell from the 11-inch
weapon it has already labeled as
an "atomic cannon", Army Sec
retary Frank C. Pace disclosed
yesterday. Pace made the an
nouncement at the army proving
grounds following a public dem
onstration of three of the 85-ton
monsters specially designed to
fire the atomic missies. As yet,
the only shell fired in the cannon
has been of high conventional ex
plosives. However, Pace pointed
out that "it has fired a shell ca
pable of holding an atomic war
head." NEW YORK Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower had a gros"s income
of $888,303 i ncluding his
$635,000 from his book, "Crusade
In Europe" during the past 10
years, his headquarters disclosed
this week. The Republican pres
idential candidate paid $217,082
in taxes, said the public state
ment, and subtractions of these
taxes and allowable deductions
from his gros income left the
former General with a net of
$643,148 for the last 10 years.

YMCA Secretary Here Tells
Of School Days With Sparkman
By Jody Levey
If the Republican National
Committee sent an investigator to
find out about Democratic Veep
nominee John J. Sparkman,
Claude C. Shotts of the Univer
sity YMCA could tell them
plenty.
Shotts was one of Sparkman's
closest friends at the University
of Alabama over 30 years ago.
In an interview yesterday, the Y
secretary recalled how "We went
to school together, went to Sun
day School together and double
dated together." The Y secretary
added that his wife and Spark
man's wife were very close
friends.
"He was very interested in
politics then and was very ac
tive in student government. He
was editor of the school paper
and when he went to Law School
he held the position of secretary

Y DC Rally
Will Hear
John W. iUmstead, prominent
State legislator, insurance execu
tive and UNC graduate, will lead
a Young Democrats Club rally at
5 p.m. today in the campus green
in front of Graham Memorial.
He will be introduced by Dr.
E. J. Woodhouse, political science
professor here.
YDC president John Sanders
said yesterday that a small band
is expected to be present for the
rally. Refreshments will be served
later in the lounge of Graham
Memorial. If inclement weather
prevails the site will changexto
Gerrard Hall.
Umstead, who first went to the
State legislature in 1931 and hasn't
been defeated for over a decade,
is known throughout the state
for the progressive legislation he
has sponsored. 1
A brother of the Democratic
nominee for governor, he grad
uated from the University in 1908
and has been a member of the
Board of Trustees and its Execu
tive Committee , for years.
Soon after his graduation he
joined the Jefferson Standard
Life Insurance Co. in Greensboro
and eventually rose from assis
tant supervisor to district
manager. He has won most of
the awards the company offers
and is regarded as one of the top
notch insurance executives in the
state.
He was sponsor of many of the
House's progressive bills, helped
direct the battle for a nine months
school term, and was author of
the Umstead Act, which put the
University out of the mercantile
business. Umstead was also pro
minent in the move to transform
Camp Butner into a mental, al
coholic and youth rehabilitation
center.

Matter Should
Be Decision
For Institution
Is Still Against
Post-Season Tilts
For UNC Or State
By Rolfe Neill
He hadn't retreated from
his stand on post-season foot
ball games, President Gray-
said yesterday, only changed
his mind about the method of
regulating them.
And the method of regula
tion, he added, should be "insti
tutional conscience" rather than
conference rule.
The Consolidated University
otticer made nis remarks to a
news conference called at his of
fice yesterday afternoon. The
conference was for the purpose
of amplifying remarks Gray made
in an address to the Greensboro
alumni University Day dinner
Tuesday night.
"My change is not one of prin
ciple but one of method of ac
complishment," Gray continued.
"I have not changed my position.
I'm personally against post-season
games for either State or
Chapel Hill."
He drew a laugh when he
added, " or Woman's College for
that matter."
President Gray was one of
those who helped write in the
conference . rule two years ago
prohibiting post-season games
for conference members.
The president said, however,
he would not fight a Southern
Conference rule change should it
come up at the group's meeting
this December if "I were con
vinced a majority of institutions,
including the institutional presi
dents, were for" such a measure.
"I would not try to impose the
minority view on them."
Gray referred to the Southern
Conference rule banning post
season games as "spectacular" in
that it has been applied while
some other rules have been over
looked. The president did not
"want to point the finger at any
body" or take a "holier-than-thou
attitude." He said that he felt
all conference rules should be as
strictly obeyed as the post-season
game regulation.
It is common knowledge that
all rules are not adhered to by
all conference members. Athletes
refused admittance for academic
reasons at one conference school
turn up playing for another.
Some schools are in moral viola
tion of the subsidy rules and other
regulations. At present, Maryland
is under suspension for partici
pating in a bowl game last New
Year's Day.
The president pointed out he

and Pepper were on the same
shift. Sparkman and Shotts
waited on tables together and
even formed a joint "truck trans
fer company."
Shotts said that he saw a great
deal of the Alabama senator when
he was in Washington during the
war. Shotts was connected with
the Friends Service in Washing
ton which worked with the selec
tive service in placing con
scientious objectors. "Sparkman
was one of the more liberal and
sympathetic congressmen in
Washington at the time," Shotts
said.
Commenting on the recent ef
fort to investigate the question of
Mrs. Sparkman being on the
Senator's payroll, Shotts said that
Sparkman often returned $20,000
to $30,000 of his office expense

Students GiveOpinions
On UN Progress, Korea
By Charles Haskeii
With the opening of the seven
th annual session of the United
Nations, the war-ragged world
turned her shabby eyes toward
the hopes of quick solution of the
Korean War.
In connection with the opening,
a number of Carolina students
were asked what they would do
if they were Ambassadors to the
UN and if the organization has
made any marked advances to
ward a solution to world-wide
peace.
Hugh Barwick, Clinton fresh
man, declared that as far as his
opinion ranged, the UN has done
little, if anything, except do a
good job of killing time. "I'm in
favor of getting the Korean War
over with as soon as possible
and by any conceivable methods."
"The UN has done a fine job
in establishing international law
and progress in social and dip
lomatic relations," emphasized
Don Davis, first-year law student
from Asheboro. Davis said that
the United Nations was definitely
an organization which the larger
nations of the world had rather
be members than otherwise.
As to what the UN should do
concerning the Korean conflict,
Davis said he was in favor of
withdrawing as many United
States men as possible with some
hope of possible negotiations with
Red China. "I'm in favor of using
Chinese nationalist troops, should
we stay."
Jane Holleman, Dublin, Ga.,
junior, stressed that tne war is
merely a "politicians," war and
that the American people are
disgusted with the issue. "The
UN can not make any progress
since everybody has the veto
power. Bloc after bloc has proved
that point. If I were an Ambassa
dor, I would consult that master
mind of the human race, Pogo,
the great."
"It's high time we broke across
the Manchurian border and got
this thing over with," sounded
off a Roxboro senior, Ed Single
ton. The 'UN either should con
duct a full scale war or drop the
whole matter, concluded Single
ton.
Virginia Hall, senior from
Elizabeth City, decided that it is
high time to place Russia "on the
carpet and see just where she
stands. It is a known fact that
the Reds are supplying back
ground leadership along with
front line equipment. Yet they are
members of the UN, and are out
1 I
right attempting to defeat the
cause they are supposedly striv
ing so hard to seek."
"We simply cannot go into
Manchuria or the UN will be
there for the next 100 years,"
stressed Charles Ragland, Ker-
nersville junior. "I'm -wholeheartedly
in agreement with the
UN's present plans of limited ac
tion and sincerely believe that
that is the only way to ultimate
victory."
"If I were an ambassador to
the UN, my first vote would be
to get out of Korea," declared
Helen Beard, senior from Hills
boro. "I believe that the UN has
accomplished a number of im
portant things, mainly their
Point 4 Plan."
Ed Stockton, Winston-Salem
sophomore, said he was in favor
of using guided missies to the
Nth degree. "By using the mis
sies, it seems to me that we
could cut down on our casualities
and up the Reds. As far as an
organization that is seeking to
establish world-peace, the UN is
in the middle of the stream,
neither going forward nor back
wards." "Let's finish what we started
and then quit," opinioned Joyce
Doughty, senior from Waycross,
Ga. "Maybe the UN has done a
little but it appears that the main
thing they are doing is specializ
ing in the art of losing lives."
Movie Head Says Film
Withdrawal Own Idea
"I withdrew the movie myself.
Dean Carmichael, the P-TA or
no one else told me to," Caro
lina Theater Manager E. Car-
rington Smith said yesterday.
Smith referred to the Italian
movie "Tomorrow Is Too Late"
which was withdrawn after a
short run Tuesday. Rumor spread
that the theater was forced to
withdraw it.
