Gray In Town Briefly; Back To Capita! Today University President Gordon 'Gray, taking a day's recess from his duties as head of the commit tee investigating atomic scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer, was in Chapel Hill yesterday CS Army' As a cavalryman, his foes in the Union army rated him a greater general than Jeb Stuart s a commanding officer, his men idolized him as no other general officer in the Confederate Army was idolized, with the exception of General Lee. As a raider, he marched more miles and fought more battles than any other general of the South. As an -undefeated, Abraham Lincoln secretly picked him, and the remnant of his command, for a military expedition against Max imilian's Empire in Mexico. He was Abraham Lincoln's Confeder ate general. He invaded Mexico with a thou sand desperate men the last armed soldiers of the Confederacy and tossed aside the glittering prize which Lincoln, had offered him, to join the Emperor Maxi millian. Inhis old age, he became the Grand Old Man of Missouri and a living legend of the Civil War . . . and when he died, more people attended his funeral than any other funeral of the postwar South except the funeral of Jeffer son Davis in Richmond. Who is he? Major General Jo seph Orville Shelby, C.S.A., some times commander of the Missouri Cavalry Division of the Confed erate Army of the Trans-Mississippi, which matched in strength the Army of Northern Virginia. And until today, he has been al most forgotten, utside oi Missouri, his adopted state. The first biography of this re markable American, entitled "General Jo Shelby: Undefeated Rebel," was published yesterday by the University press. It is the work of a Virginia writer, Daniel O'Flaherty of Richmond, who has had a varied career as newspaper man, radio news executive, and magazine writer. Long a " student of the Civil War, and having a special interest in the literature of the American Southwest, O' Flaherty has been engaged in re search for the biography of Shelby since 1949. In bringing to ILNj again the remarkable story of the Mexican venture, the Shelby biography also throws new and important light on Abraham Lincoln's plans for the South after the Civil War; plans never voiced, except in con fidential messages to such men as oJe Shelby, and through confi dential messengers to Jefferson Davis such as Union Brigadier General Francis Preston Blair Jr. of Missouri who was Shelby's first cousirL Youngest Retired Baptist J. C. Herrin, After Busy Trip 7c North, Nov Mowing The Grass, Planting Garden By KEN SANFORD At 39, the Rev. J. C. Herrin likes to refer to himself as the youngest retired Baptist minister in the state. Herrin, UNC Baptist Student Union secretary recently was ousted by the General Board of the State Baptist Convention on a charge of being the source of "intolerable friction" in the local Bap tist Church, said when interviewed that he has no immediate plans for the future. "I am getting the grass mowed and the garden planted," Herrin said. "I am also answering the hundreds of letters that I have received. You know, I have only received one letter that was in any sense unfavorable. "At the request of Sunday School superinten dent in the local Baptist Church, I am continuing to teach a class of students on 'Our Baptist Heri tage.'" Herrin and the Rev. James W. Ray, state secre tary of the BSU who was also fired by the Bap tists, recently returned from a trip in the North. "We were not looking .for a job," Herrin said. "We wanted to give students in Northern semi naries the assurance that they will be able to re turn to North Carolina and the South despite the swing away from liberalism toward reactionary fundamentalism. "We discovered there a national interest -from the heads of churches and church councils as to the meaning of the trends in the South which Dr. Wilbur G. Katz, a former dean of the University of Chica go Law School, will open a series of lectures here tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in Gerrard HalL Sponsored by the Inter-Faith Council, in cooperation with the University's Law School, Dr. Katz will speak lixst on "Church and State." He "will continue Tuesday night with an address, "The Chris tian Faith and Natural Law", to be held in the Court Room of the Law School in Manning Hall. Dr. Katz has been at the Uni versity of .Chicago Law School since 1930 as a professor, and was its dean from 1940 through 1950. He is at present a professor at that University.- He received his B.

We didn't have a free hour. "It is an ironic face that what has happened a- mong Baptists in regara to the BSU has served to recommend us to other denominations." ' Besides conferences with seminary heads and Southern students in th? seminaries, Herrin and Ray spent an evening talking to Dr. Frank Gra ham, former president of UNC and now a United Nations mediator. They also spent an evening talking to writers from the Voice of America. In answer to questions from people they visited, Herrin said, "We told them that our hope still lies in the South and even in the Baptist denomi nation, but we are not too optimistic unless there should come a strong resurgent move toward a reaffirmation of our fundamental Baptist princi ples." Herrin attended the BSU officers spring re treat in Charlotte which ended yesterday. "I went along to furnis. transportation for Carolina BSU officers and to enjoy the program," he said. "I wish to express appreciation to students of the University, not only Baptists, but many others who have been a source of constant encourage- j ment and a deen faith in the worthwhileness of the task we set for ourselves here at the Univer-j, sity. I only wish I could thank each one personally ; for every expression of confidence and hope," Herrin said.
