Charles Childs, the Tar Heel

the "girl in the yellow raincoat."
It was one month to the day
since his quest began.
Tm only human," he declared.
Ifs hopeless I cant go on
looking."
with those words, Charles
Childs called a halt to the month
long drama which turned him
overnight into, "Sir Charles,"
and filled his days with letters
and telephone calls from well
wishers eager to aid in his
search.
It's all been too much for
im. He made the decision to
renounce his knighthood and
return to the role of student
after a month of badgering from

false leads.
The story commenced in the
rain following the North Caro

Hubert Delaney of the New 'York
City Domestic Relations Court
here this weekend.
Speaking at the closing session !
of the 13th annual convention of
the South Carolina Conference of
thP "National Association for the
Wv,nMmont nf rnim-pH Ponnip '
NAACP, Judge Delaney attacked
those "who tell you . the time is j
not right to give human beings
justice . ."
He told some 800 Negro listeners
to pay no -attention to those "who
,cry don't rock the boat." In citing
Negro progress he said "I'm not
worrying about what we have done
but how far we yet have to go.
He urged his listeners to ignore
those who predicted violence would
follow each "forward step we
take."
He said "Negroes cannot afford
to fight for their rights alone but
must fight for the rights of all
the people of the South. Other
wise our victory will be an empty
one."
Delaney said, "We are still the
second class citizens of Amer'-a
and there is no room in a democ
racy for second class citizens."

Tax Bill To Be
Debated By Di
Tonight At 8
ine Di senate will debate a
national manufacturers' tax bill
tonight at 8 o'clock on the third
floor of New West.
This bill, introduced by Di Sen
ator William Mudd of Gastonia,
favors a national manufacturers'
tax with the stipulation that the
Office of Price Stabilization be
reinstituted if the tax is effected.
Those for the bill favor the
revision of the present tax struc
ture which places a dispropor
tionate load of taxes on the con
sumer.
Those against it say that this
type of price regimentation is con
trary to our democratic, capitalis
tic economic system.
President Eisenhower has been
investigating the possibilities of a
national manufacturers' tax.

(.-P) A Goldsboro telegraph
operator looked twice when a
message was handed to him.
It said "Please ship tonight the
regular order of white lightning."
The sender, J. W. Abercrombie,
a theatre manager, explained he
was asking a f iim ; distributing
company to send advertising ma
terials for a picture titled "White
Lightning."
Club the law has alerted Tar
Heel newspapers to their re

McPherson called for teamwork
between public officials and news
papers in a spirit of mutual inter
est and responsibility to the pub
lic interest But he said such
teamwork must have its basis in
mutual respect and understand
ing rather than any compression
by "secrecy" laws.
The editor expressed his convic

lifted, the press of the state will
demonstrate it is "qualified, com

'les Misrables'
This Evening
"Les Misrables," the first in a
series of movies to be shown by
the joint YMCA-Hii!el Film For
um, will be shown this f
evening at 7 o'clock in Gerrard
Hall. The film stars Frederic
March and Charles Laughton.
Following the movie. Dr. Lee
M. Brooks, chairman of the Sociol
ogy Department, will lead a dis
cussion. A spokesman of the
Forum said that the purpose of
the series of movies and dis
cussions is to exploit the very
diverse field of individualism in
society, or "men who stood alone."
in the widely-discussed segrega-
tion issue, the bill will also bring
out the various points that have
arisen concerning the subject, a Phi
spokesman said. It is specifically
stated in the bill that discrimina
tion does not exist when there are
equal facilities for both elements,
and that segregation in itself is
not bad- Bather discrimination is
evil that must be stamped out, ac
cording to the bill ,
The argumeents for and aginst
the bill are expected to stem
from the Fourteenth Amendment,
which says that no state shall
"deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection
of the laws." Working from this
clause, the Supreme Court is now
faced with rendering a decision
on the issue.
Syd Shuford, speaker pro-tem-pore,
emphasized the fact that a
decision reached in the debate does
not necessarily reflect the opinion
of a majority of the members of
the Phi Assembly or of any one
member.
'The Phi has as its major pur
poses the development of the abili
ty of its members in public speak
ing, and the stimulation of interest
in current affairs; not the making
of decisions which could be con
sidered as binding opinions of the
organization," said Shuford. "The
decision rendered tonight could
quite conceivably be made on the
quality of the debate; and as a
matter of fact, many of the deci
sions are," he explained.
" All persons interested in the
segregation subject are invited to
attend the meeting and to partici
pate in the debate. The initiation
will be hid in an executive session
immediately following the debate.
