N By ROBERT BARTHOLOMEW Officials of the UNC Press re ported yesterday that their latest publication, Governor Tryon and His Place, by former Daily Tar Heel Editor Alonzo Thomas Dill was being well received through cut the nation. ' . This non-fiction work publish ed Nov. 19, is the story of Gov ernor William Tryon of North Carolina and his famous place at New Bern, which became known as "Tryon's Palace." It is also the story of the lively cultural life of which the building was the center and the political storms that whirled around it and Governor Tryon. DTH, FLEECE Dill was born in New Bern in 1914 and received his A.B. de gree in journalism from UNC in 1&J5, with the fourth highest average, in his class. During his senior year he was editor of The Daily Tar Heel and a member of the Golden Fleece.' Upon graduating, he worked for a year as a reporter for the United' Press in Chicago and Des Moines and a year as legis lature reporter for The News and Observer in Raleigh. From 1937 until 1950 he worked on The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, be ginning as a reporter and leav ing as associate editor. In 1948 he was one of the three national winners, of The New York Herald Tribune Ogden Reid Fellowship award, and spent the tollowing year abroad in 10 European countries. Dill was historical research consultant for the Tryon Palace Restoration Commission and is now assistant director of the Jamestown Williamsburg -Yorktown' National Celebration Commission. From the outset the palace, designed to serve as a meeting place of the General Assmbly and a repository for neglected public records, excited controver sy. The increased poll tax neces sary for its building and main tenance fell cruelly on the back country, western dnhabitants of North Carolina in . comparison with its impact on the wealthier planters and merchants of the eastern part of the .state. BLOODSHED The effort to collect this tax led to civil bloodshed, suppress ed by Tryon and the easterners in a tragic clash of arms, at the Battle of Alamance in 1771, The governor who followed Tryon was driven out by the Revolution and the palace be came tile first seat on the in dependent government of North Carolina. Peace and indepen dence w'on, the dark days of in flation settled upon New Bern. The palace fell into a sad state of disrepair with theft and van dalism assisting the process of decay. In 1792, three years before the University of North Carolina began to operate, the General Assembly, meeting in the fadd elegance of the palace, voted to move the capital to Raleigh. Six years later the palace was de stroyed by fire. At the present j tini the palace is being restored. yiixJL u -a 00 II Ovr LZ3 U U U W U ) W ) Li Li Kz :-" j J L L . J By NEIL BASS All accusation by Thomas Smith, American Federation of Labor representative, that the University has refused to set up a procedure for hear ing employee grievances was flatly denied yesterday by Un iversity Business Manager Claude Teague. Smith, organizer of the lo cal Union 372 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal -Employees, composed chiefly of University janitors and groundskeepers, made this accusa tion and several others concern ing the University-employee rela tionship in a letter to Governor Luther Hodges. He said University workmen were being fired "unjustly" and accused administration officials of "misuse" of state persdnnel. Smith named a particular instance in which he said an employee was fired primarily because he was an official of the local union. ' Teague said the laborer was not discharged because of union "af filiation," but simply because he' neglected his job. Regarding Smith's charge about misuse of state personnel, Teague said all work done by workmen for Uni versity officials was paid for pri vately by the official. He said the University had cancelled checks issued by officials out of their own pockets for work done by Univer sity employees on their lawns and private property. - Teague, said .-.be , had no. Vob jec tion" to the local employees' union, but that the University could not recognize any sort of organized labor movement by its employees because of a trustee rul ing. Teague, who has been named by Governor Hodges to ( hear - griev ances of UNC custodial workers in response to Smith's letter to him asking for appointment of some one to handle negotiations be tween the University andxits work men, was referring to a resolution passed by the Board of Trustees in 1946. It states that neither the board - 1 . t " " 1 Mayflower Collection Sfct For Library A move to bring all materials and records relating to the May flower Cup, annual award given by the State Society of the May flower Descendants; to the Uni versity Library here has been an nounced by Sturgis E.

We appreciate the initiative taken by the Executive' Commit tee of the Board of Trustees on Nov. 14 in recommending that the ' committee appointed to reconv ! mend a successor to President Gray set up special machinery for consultation, with the faculty." "2. We urge that this consulta tion provide faculty representa tives an opportunity to aid the trustee selection committee by pe riodic participation in its deliber ations. We urge also that faculty representatives have an opportu nity to make known to the trustee selection committee their evalua tion of the individuals who are considered by the committee for the presidency, as well as an op portunity to suggest individuals for consideration, and to suggest criteria for assessing them.
