Dr. Jenkins has spent a number of years traveling this country amassing on microfilm precious documents relating to our historical heritage and giving the United Stales a valuable, unique collection.

"From the air, the atoll looks It, has one of the best anchorages in the world and as the 'Crossroads of the Pacific served as our naval operations base for the actions in the Mariannas Carolines, and on Truk." Eniwetok is only one of several small land masses which are in the Enhyetok atoll. The island of Eniwetok Dr. Jenkins' headquarters was two miles long and a half-mile wide with the waistline of the island only a few hundred feet wide. It was in this waistline that the l 1 ?f iKlichoH "TTrnm mv nffipp U'inrlnW I HUUiaiJ HUdUUiiima cic ciiouiioui-u.

Abraham and his group of 58 the tribes were committed to staying numerically, equal lived on Engibi, just above Eniwetok. When the American bombardment started, the Japanese commander allowed the group on Engibi to leave but the Eniwetok commandant refused and consequently many of the tribe died in the devastation. In order. to look after the" chiefs and their followers, Dr. Jenkins took 3 small party with supplies each week to the island of Aomon. In his party was Brown Smith, an interpreter who was a reservist in the Royal Fijiian Navy and who had been Admiral Nimitz personal guide and consultant in the invasion of Eniwetok. Smith did the necessary translating between Governor Jenkins and Chiefs Johannes and Abraham. ' - To help the islanders economically, the Navy purchased from them handcrafts consisting of cigaret holders, baskets, etc. The Navy decided it would give further help by hiring some oi me nauve iauur to build a memorial chapel for Navy dead. The pay was to be 50 cents a day for each man. Chief Johannes, who belatedly understood it was to be a church, was irate when he discovered, as the interpreter put it "he had been tricked by Governor Jenkins. Natives not work for pay to help God." The dilemma was - solved the Navy could not work them for nothing when ' the natives were given their choices from the USN supply stores. Among the chosen items was a case of Vaseline that the ladies and. children might have something for their hair. Concluding, Dr. Jenkins said, "If there is stay point to my story, any point that is timely,, it is that the great conflict of the forces of destruction and preservation that have been brought face to face with this now hydrogen explosive weapon. Here, purely, coincidental, I missed oblivion by eight years and some few hundred yards. "In the twinkle of an H-bomb, records which have been concen trated over centuries 'can be destroyed, thus taking not only our present civilization but wiping out the past record of its development." I. 1 . . . c.i.roK, scene or rne ri-Domb Devastated By ROLFE NEILL Dr. William S. Jenkins yester day recalled for his political sci ence students some of his experi ences with the island civilization of Eniwetok which literally was blasted from the Pacific Ocean in a 1952 Il-bomb blast. "I was on the hotspot," Dr. Jenkins began. "Only a few hun dred yards and eight years sepa rated me from the spot where the H-bomb was detonated." He was military governor of the island from June to November", 1944, and his duties concerned ' the two na- tive trioes mere. The lectures yesterday were to Dr. Jenkins' 9 and 11 o'clock class es in political science 155, the Constitution. Ex-Governor Jenkins illustrated his talk with a number of black and white photographs. ("Unfor tunately, my color pictures' didn't turn out; I sent them to be de veloped and they were never re turned.") Also utilized in the line of demonstration souvenirs were a model of an outrigger (given hjm by one of the tribal chief tains) and a rather rickety ten nis racket -(his, last game of ten nis was Eniwetok, 1944). "The word Eniwetok is beauti without the nasal sound we give like a necklace spread over the sea. miwaijDeirBy Today Sig Chi Event 2:30 In Kenan Carolina's coeds will display their collective talents this after noon at 2:30 in Kenan Stadium when the Sigma Chi Derby pits nine girl teams against each other in various contests. j Nine teams six sororities, the Independent Coeds, Stray Greeks, and nurses will compete in the six events ranging from a "Miss Modern Venus" contest to a secret event. , A parade of contestants down Franklin Street at 2 p.m. will pre cede the derby.

House said yesterday he favors leaving the present fraternity rushing system alone. "It (rushing) is like the meas les. The sooner you have it and get it over with, the better ft is," the chancellor told a student press conference. He went on to praise fraternities, saying that "they have a tremendous amount to contribute to the campus and always have contributed in the past." House, in answer to questions, outlined some worthy things which he thought the Greek letter or ganizations could dot, including "scholarship the primary endeav or of the University," athletics, (See CHANCELLOR, page 4) Brumfield JJJew Phi Speaker The Assembly of the Philan thropic Literary Society has elect ed officers for the fall semester of 1954.

Parties No Good, Says Wingfield By STAN SMITH Political parties on the state level not national parties nom inate candidates and elect them, said U. S. Senatorial Candidate Al vin Wingfield here last night. 'iThe only political parties rec ognized by North Carolina law art purely state organizations," he continued. "No nationwide political party operates within the state . . . since it has no legal exis tance." ' Wingfield, who is running in the May 29th Democratic primary, speke before the Young Republi can Club and others after the Uni versity's Young Deemocrats beg ged fof sponsoring him for lack of time. "I am poposed to the whole idea of political parties in our great country," Wingfied asserted. "They are essentially political devices for minority rule of the country."- Explaining his admittedly "shocking" views, the outspoken candidate told a Gerard Hall audi- z-nce of 150 that "political parties are nothing but a figment of the imagination. They do not exist, and are politically meaningless. ill am opposed to political par ties . . . because the so-called 'strong two-party sysfemV would deliver our people into the hands of one or the other of two sets of political bosses." Wingfield would advocate a one- party system for elections, in which any man who wishes could run. "This would be the best pro tection we have for our political liberty,'' he claimed. In a question-and-answer period following the address, Wingfield said he is for . telling the Chinese to get out of Indochina or to get prepared for an all-out war. Would he advocate dropping the A-bomb in case China called the bluff? "Yessir, I do," he said, after a moment out for a short prayer "We must wipe out this cancer that threatens . . . our very existance. And did he think ithe U.S. should sent troops to Indochina? "If wf want to fight," answered Wing field, "send volunteers. There are always plenty of young men who would go just to be fighting." Arnold Nash On Program Dr. Arnold S. Nash, chairman of the Department of Religion here, is listed among speakers for the second annual' School of Christian Studies, at Meredith College, to be held June 14-18.

Bob Windsor and Bob Williams of the University's Young Democrat Club. A torch-light parade began at 7 at fraternity court on South : Columbia St. and went down Franklin, around to Emerson, It attracted varied reaction along the way, but the estimated group of 400 students who heard the speech by-Umstead indicated en thusiastic sentiment against the Wisconsin Senator. . Umstead declared in his speech, to the applause of the rally, that, it is "time to get rid of Sonor McCarthy as a real impediment" . to the United States government.
