He'll Date New 'Maiden'
Saga OfSir Charles' Near Climax
By Charles Kuralt
A ray of hope for Sir Charles
flickered for an instant yester
day, but then went out.
For a few brief, heart-stopping
moments yesterday, it ap
peared that Charles Childs had
found the maiden of the yellow
raincoat, the Woman's College
girl who stole his heart away on
a rainy Saturday.
An Alderman Dormitory girl,
Woody Troster, admitted to
hearing a boy who sat near her
at the Maryland football game
Saturday . remark that the lost
beauty was a girl named,
"Gross."
"He told a friend she was
named Arleen Gross," Miss
Troster told The Daily Tar Heel,
trying, as scores of people have
since the news first appeared in
print, to be helpful.
But a check of W. C records
failed to find anyone of that

And Sir Charles, the 20th cen

where he began in his quest for

the situation has become tense.
The details of his search have

Former Staff
Member Gets
New Position
Richard C. Gedney, who was on
the research staff of the University
Psychometric Laboratory last year,
has been appointed Central Ten
nessee representative of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile Pa-
! ralysis.
Basil O'Connor, New York, pres
ident of the March of Dimes or
ganization, made the announce
ment yesterday.
Gedney, a native of Buffalo, N.
Y., will be in charge of the Na
tional Foundation's newly opened
Central Tennessee office in Nash
ville and will coordinate the ac
tivities of 28 National Founda
tion chapters in that part of the
state. The number of districts in
Tennessee have been increased
from two to three in order to in
tensify the National Foundation's
service program in the state.
As state representative, Gedney
will perform liasion duties be-;
tween the National Foundation's
headquarters and the hundreds of
volunteer workers in the chapters
in his district. His principal con
cern will be in helping chapters
to organize, improve and expand
their year-round patient aid ser
vices, to disseminate factual in
formation about poiio to the pub
lic and to assist them in their po
lio preparedness programs.
Coeds To See
Film Tonight;
Dean To Speak
"Family An Approach To
Peace," a film presenting United
Nations' aims and possibilities, will
be shown tonight in Carroll Hall
at 7:15.
In an attempt to promote great
er interest in the UN on campus,
to further national UN week ac
tivities among the coeds, and be
cause of limited accomodations,
the film will be open to only girl
students. Sororities will attend the
showing instead of having chapter
meetings.
Prece.ding the showing of the
picture, Law School Dean Henry
Brandis will give a short talk on
the purpose of the UN, its relation
to the film and to Carolina stu
dents. Following the film UN leaders
on campus will review the calen
dar of UN events at Carolina this
week.

ment, evoking letters and tele
phone calls to Carolina's modern
Launcelot.
At the football game Saturday,
a prankster claiming to have
news of the maiden, addressed
the crowd. But .investigation
showed him to be joking, noth
ing more.
The news dropped Sir Charles
to a new low.
Yesterday, he shook his head
doubtfully. "This thing has
grown so big!" he exclaimed.
And still no results. Sir Charles
seemed to feel that the damsel
is gone, forever.
In the meantime, he has de
cided to take a step he has put
off until now. He's planning to
date, this weekend, one of the
dozens of WC girls who hope
fully wrote to him from Greens
boro. She's a junior from At
lanta, Ga.
He leaned back in a chair in
his room yesterday, slowly and
methodically applying a shine to
a pair of cordovan shoes. He
seemed to reflect a hope that the
upcoming date would help him
to forget the girl in the yellow
raincoat.
It is to be hoped that she does,
indeed, help him to forget.
For the drama of the search
seems to be near a climax. And
Sir Charles seems near the end
of his rope.

"we have been through a period
of political and economic action
in Korea, then a military interval,
and now we have returned to the

If the Korean political confer

it will be. because the Communists
again will "have blocked a settle

pearance of wanting to negotiate."
The former American ambassa

the dynamic expansionism of the

Debate
China
The Philanthropic Assembly
and the Dialectic Senate met in
a joint session last night and de
bated "A bill calling for the ad
mission of Communist China into
the United Nations."
Senator Jimmy Turner of the Di
introduced the bill and preceded
to speak on it "The recognition of
Red China as a member of the
United Nations is nothing more
than the recognition of fact," he
said. "Certainly the People's Gov
ernment of China is Communistic.
Certainly it is antagonistic to our
cause; but the very function of the
UN is to bring antagonists togeth
er to wors out their differences
in debate and not in battle."
This meeting of the Di and Phi
opened United Nations Week here.
Opposing the bill Ed Williams,
a visitor, said, "If we recognized
Communist China, we would be
compromising with oppression and
failing to combat evil." By doing
this, he seid, we would be deny
ing the principles on which t'f?
United Nations was founded. "The
prospective member of the UN
must be a peace loving state," he
continued.
Williams speculated as to
whether Communist China were
actually a state. 'j'A state, to be.
a state," he said, "must be recog
nized as such by a majority of the
International Community. Are we
to accept as a member of the UN
any nation which has failed to live
up to any principles of the UN?"
Senator Henry Lowett of the Di
took the floor defending the bilL
"I think that the way things are
going now we are going to have
another World War," he said. "The
only way to avert such a "war is
to meet around a bargaining table
and talk and talk and talk."
Next to oppose the bill was Rep
resentative Bob Pace of the Phi.
Denying a statement in the bill
he said, "The Communist Govern
ment does not represent the
needs, aims, and sovereignty of the
people. The bill in describing
Communist China stated that "the
government of a geographically
defined country is that political
entity which most represents the
needs, aims, and sovereignty of
the people."
"It is comprised of a group of
Moscow-trained criminals," con
tinued Pace. "We cannot bend the
knee to Moscow by recognizing
this government at this time," he
said.
