W. Madry, known by most of his, friends as "Colonel Bob," died last week in Memorial Hospital as a result of complications arising from hypertension. Madry was director of the University News Bureau, loved and respected by Tar Heel educators and news men. Below is one of the few stories written about "Colonel Bob." It was written by Jake Wade, UNC sports publicist and now head of the News Bureau. Wade wrote the story after Madry left the hospital in Feb ruary. Madry was readmitted to the hospital March 22, and died Jast Friday.) By JAKE WADE The first night Bob Madry was in the hospital he had a weird dream.

Appi 'Colonel Bob' Madry hotel, and down the hall a party was in progress. He was sure he recognized the convivial voices, especially of one close friend. He wandered out to investigate. Bob, by nature, is drawn to crowds, like little boys to knotholes in baseball park fences. Nurses shooed him back to his own bailiwick. He . insisted on seeing his friends. He was more and more positive in his identifi cation of at least one voice, and he thought Frank McGuire, the basketball coach, had his office nearby, so he wanted to see the Irishman, too. One nurse . said McGuire was around taking tem peratures. .The patient then re alized somebody was pulling his leg. He went to bed. "Colonel Bob," director of the University News Bureau (who was at the time convalescing at home after three weeks in the hospital) had pretty steep blood pressure that night. The , doctors also had given him some high powered medicines which helped to bring on curious hallucina tions. At 6 a.m. he became hungry. He wandered into the corridor again, still under the quaint im pression that he was registered at an inn of some kind, and re quested his breakfast. A nurse explained that he would have to wait a while. He waited two hours, hungry as all get-out. His doctors prescribed "No Visitors," put a sign on his door. That sign never meant very, much in Bob Madry's hospital life. So they put up another very menr acing sign "pQstively .

WRC, IDC Corsponsor Tennis Ball The annual Tennis Ball dance and car parade will be held April 22, according to Co-chairman Ted Kemp. The dance and afternoon parade will be co-sponsored by the In terdormitory Council and Wo men's Residence Council. Roy Cole and his orchestra will play for the dance. The parade is slated to climax with the awarding of a grand prize to the car having most . novel and original decoration. Top honors went last year to the Pi Kappa Phis. ' Co-chairing the event, which said Kemp was . "a tremendous success last year," will . be Miss Ruth Jones of the WRC. Kemp said the dance drew ap proximately 1,000 "persons last year and he expected an even grater response this year. "Tables situated in cabaret style, orchestra in . the' center, Japanese lanterns arid free re freshments, all in the wide open spaces on the tennis courts that's what we plan for the whole campus," Kemp said. The committee working on plans for the "big", night, other; than Kemp and Jones, is com posed of Miss Louise Coffey, "Buzz" Merritt, Miss Marilyn Zagar, Dan Duval and Sonny Hall ford. "The afternoon parade and the gib night dance will be open ; to the entire campus and we wel come anybody or any group," Kemp ' said. tors." This one didn't register, either. Visitors flocked to his room. A compromise was agreed upon. He could have a few call ers, the folks from his office, his most intimate friends and of course his family. Bob made out a. list. The hospital, thereupon discovered that the University News Bureau was a very large organization indeed, with scores of employes, like a factory; and that his intimates included eyery one in town from his grocer to his lawyer. And that the Madrys were a huge clan, which , they are. An' endless procession of strange people continued to pour into and out of his room, and one day a good friend, Mayor Ollie Cornwell, another gregarious creature, checked in just across the hall. Bob heard Ollie's boom ing voice. He hopped out of bed. fought his way ; through his own crowded room into Ollie's equally well populated quarters and there followed a joyous reunion. Ollie is 6'6"; Bob is 5'5". Pa jama clad, they made a fetching picture as they stood in loving embrace. Bob had been right sick, and the nurses became quite concerned over this obstreperous violation of the rules laid down. One nurse's patience also was tried to the breaking point. She took down one sign, then the other. "From now on it's the doc tors' responsibility," she pro claimed. "I've done the best I could to carry out orders. I'm throwing in the towel." Eyewit nesses to Ihi's precedent-making scene say she was real angry. , "Tbey Jwd no business putting CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1955 rTP O n O ' Fleece Tapping Scheduled Soon The 53rd annual tapping cere mony will be held by the Order of the Golden Fleece Monday night at 7:15 in Memorial Hall. Formed in 1903, the Order of the Golden Fleece, was first con ceived in its mythological entirety by Dr. Eben Alexander, then dean at the University and past envoy to Greece. Dr. Alexander was a first honorary society on an American college campus. His aim in founding the Fleece was to see the University become the second in the nation to honor its outstanding campus men. The order was established largely through the interest and encouragement of Dr. Henry Horace Williams, faculty philoso pher.

Madry died in Memorial Hospital last Friday morning. Survivors include his widow, the former Maggie Lee Farmer of Wilson, and a son, Robert W. Madry Jr., 13; one sister, Mrs. C. W. Bazemore, Raleigh, and three brothers, W. Dennis Madry of Burling ton, J. Thurman Madry and H. R. Madry of Scotland Neck. "Colonel Bob," as he was affectionately known, was a distin guished newspaperman who had f been director of the University News Bureau since 1923, when he returned to North Carolina after a comparatively short but Varied and rich post-college experience as reporter and editor of New York and European newspapers and magazines. He was born in Scotland Neck on June 15, 1897, the son of Rob ert Jarrett Madry and Lena AUsbrook Madry, boht of whom are now dead. The family home was located about a mile from town on a large plantation, which has been in the Madry family since Civil War days. After graduation from Scotland Neck High School in 1914, he enrolled at the University in Chapel Hill, where he completed his A.B. degree in 1918. During his senior year Madry became inter ested in journalism and was asked to remain at the University a year as the first ful-time head of the news bureau and publicity director of the Student Army Training Corps, of which he was a member. The following year, 1920, he studied at Pulitzer School of Jour nalism, Columbia University, completing the two-year Bachelor of Literature degree in one year. While at Columbia Madry edited a New York trade journal, World's Business. Turning to Europe after his graduation from Columbia, Madry spent about two years on the reportorial 'staff of the fabulous Paris edition of The New York Herald. He always liked to talk of his exciting and often improbable experiences as a writer for that legendary newspaper. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ' Returning to New York in 1922, he worked with The Wall Street Journal and. later with a publicity-firm. That same year he joined the staff of the old New York Herald and was with it until the fall ,of 1923, when he accepted the University's third offer Jo return as head of the News Bureau, then, a one-man operation.

The abiding purpose of the Fleece was to cut across sectional boundaries of student interest and to honor the outstanding men in all fields of campus endeavor as they should arise, said Dr. Wil liams. There could be no harmony or University spirit until all these men of diverse interests should "sit side by side at the same table," he pointed out.

"Just a bunch of foolishness." High point of this parade of futility came one night during the district convention here of the NCPRA, the organization of col lege public relations men. There had gathered professional asso ciates of MadryX many of them close personal friends of long standing. Bob had been irked be cause he was unable to get out and attend the meetings. He ob tained official permission for some of them to visit him. They came, all right. And on that night there mysteriously ap peared in Bob's room several con tainers of gentle libations, a gen erous supply of cracked ice, an assortment of appetizers. They say a doctor popped in at about the time the sick man was in the bathroom, mixing the varied in gredients and happily serving his guests. There likely never was a hospi tal room scene quite like it. The frustrated doctor simply turned around and departed from the aromatic, smoke filled room. There was the matter of the telephone. It was early . determ ined that to keep this record breaking patient happy it was necessary that a telephone be be side his bed at all times. They did succeed in keeping out incom ing calls for awhile, except those from his office, which he was running from North Carolina Me morial Hospital.

Once, in calling such a patient, there was some delay. The switch board informed him that he would have to wait until a tele phone was plugged into the other man's room. Bob is a vibrant spirit with a sense of humor. But he really sounded serious when he said, "Well, he can use this phone." Then, after a pause, "But that wouldn't work it? Because then I wouldn't have a phone." I was there and heard it. GHOST ON LINE I didn't hear the time he called a newspaper editor in another city, but one of Bob's kin- tells the story. That was the day it had gotten into the papers that Bob was ill and the stories made it appear he was ill more than somewhat. Bob got the party on the line and told him who was calling. 'There was a silence at the other end," said Bob's kinsman. "The man on the line apparently couldn't believe it was Bob, with the dispatch fresh in his mind, and he kept asking. I could just see him coming close to going into a faint, believing he had a ghost on the line." There had been no talk of an operation. However, one day Bob's lunch was over an hour late in coming. A hearty eating patient, he sent out a call to see what happened to his food.

But Scales never had any knowledge that the Communist Party was dedicated to overthrow of the government by force or violence, and Scales never had any intent whatsoever in that re spect, the defense contended. "A challenge to the hand picked federal juries in North Carolina by Junius Scales . . . failed to secure quashing of th indictment in his case but did result in Judge Albert V. Bry an's direction that the jury in the Scales case be drawn from new lists compiled since Scales' attorney, David Rein, filed his challenge several weeks ago," said an article which appeared in the April 10th edition of the Communist national edition of The Worker. These three points his party membership, the party's alleged goal of violent overthrow of the government and his knowledge of that, and his intent to carry out that purpose from the crux of the trial in U.
