"The conference, however, was very biased and not truly representative of Southern sentiment on the subject," UNC's delegate, Student Body.i World News In Brief Ike, DeGaulle Said To Agree On Disarmament's Priority WASHINGTON (AP) President Eisenhower and French Presi dent Charles De Gaulle were officially reported in agreement that disarmament should have top priority at next months' Paris Sum mit Conference with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev. Spokesmen for the two chiefs of state also said a few hours after Eisenhower and De Gaulle concluded pre-summit strategy talks that the presidents agree in substance on all problems to be discussed. Eisenhower and De Gaulle issued a terse communique which gave no hint whatever regarding details of their discussions, which commenced last Friday. 'Many' Hurt In SENECA, S.C. (AP) A Southern Railway passenger reported wrecked near Seneca at 4:10 p.m. Monday A partment official here said there were reports if many people in jured. A police dispatcher said she knew only that the train had wreck ed and that nearby hospitals were "overflowing with the injured. There were a lot of people hurt." Calls for doctors, nurses, ambulances and fire trucks were sent to Anderson and to Toccoa, Ga. The wreck scene is about six miles West of Seneca toward the Georgia line. Voting Rights Case Settled WASHINGTON (AP) Atty. Gen. Lawrence E. Walsh Monday announced entry of a consent judgment at Memphis, Tenn. ending voting discriminations against Negro voters in Fayette County, Tenn. It marked the first voting rights case under the 1957 civil rights act to be settled by negotiation. Justice Department officials ex pressed hope others could be similarly ended without "extensive and protracted litigation." In the Fayette County case, filed last November, the Depart ment charged that the Democratic primary elections in Fayette County were the "only meaningful elections" and that Negroes had long been barred from participating in them. Fayette County Democratic nominees, the government said, have had opposition in the general elections for many years. Legal Gymnastics Inch Forward RALEIGH (AP) A legal battle contesting application of tres pass laws in lunch counter demonstrations is inching forward to ward a final decision. The next step will come later this year when the state supreme court considers an appeal from a case decided Friday in Wake Superior Court. Two Negro youths were sentenced after they were convicted of trespassing at the downtown McLellan Dime store last month. The Wake trial was an appeal from a Raleigh city court con viction. Attorneys for the Negro college students, who gave notice of appeal to the state's highest tribunal after the sentencing, said they would take their fight to the U. S. Supreme Court if necessary. The two students, Albert R. Sampson, 21, of Everett, Mass., and James A. Fox, 19, of Washington, D.C, received 30-day road terms suspended on payment of $25 fines and under the conditions they remain on good behavior for two years. Both are students at Ra leigh's Shaw University. KEN FRIEDMAN . .public relations president David Grigg, said. It was sponsored by the National Student Association.

After the speeches, the body broke, into discussion groups to consider resolu tions. Grigg spoke against the first resolution considered, one in general support of the move ment. "Up until the time I spoke, there had been no opposition expressed against the move ment," Grigg said. "I felt that people were get ting a distorted picture of Sou thern feeling on this issue and that someone should speak for the other side," Grigg said in explaining his action. Grigg told the body the sit downs would not ease the situ ation in the South. "They might do some good by making people think,"' he said, "but they are doing more damage by causing more racial bitter ness in some areas." "The movement won't give the Negro the respect and human dignity he seeks' he said. "It only may pet him a hamburger." The resolution was passed by an' 80-13 vote. UNC voted NO.

Young, chairman of the Committee on State Affairs, yesterday announced the completion of the group's officer selection. Young appointed Ed Riner of Rocky Mount and Ken Friedman of Chapel Hill public relations directors. Also named in the selection was Miss Bettie Ann Whitthiust of Rocky Mount, who will serve as Ex ecutive Secretary and direct the work of the office staff. Aside from Young, the group's other officers include Bill Norton, vice-chairman; Angus Duff, East ern director; Bob Baynes, Piedmont director; and John Renger, Western director. Commenting on the appoint ments, Young said, "Ed Riner is without question one of the best journalists on this campus. His newspaper experience will be in valuable to our program. , "Ken Friedman, present sports editor of The Daily Tar Heel, is an extremely clever individual whose creative ability will be well utilized by the committee in its attempt to lobby for University budget needs, particularly a new student union. "Bettie Ann Whitehurst is one of the most capable women students on this campus. She has done an outstanding job as Secretary of the Orientation Committee. She knows hew to handle a job such as this, and I look forward to her working with us." Riner's chief job in relation to the Committee's program will be the writing of newspaper articles. He will be in charge of keeping the University community informed on all budget developments through both news stories and editorial columns in The Daily Tar Heel. Young added, "One of the chief functions of the State Affairs Com mittee will be to educate the stu dents on what is going on in Ra leigh. If we do nothing else during cur year of existence, we will pre sent a comprehensive analysis of the budget to the students." Riner will also be in charge of any releases on the Committee which may be sent out to state papers. If it is possible to have a special budget issue of The Daily Tar Heel, he will also have the responsibility for this. Friedman will assist Riner on any Segovia Concert Blends Artistry. With Flavor Old World flavor will blend with an artistry that few have equalled on a stringed instru ment when Andres Segovia ap pears in Memorial Hall at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Students will be admitted free until 7:45 p.m. to this con cert, which is sponsored by Gra ham Memorial. After 7:45 p.m. tickets will go on sale to the general public for $2. Student spouses will be admitted for $1. Since his first public appear ance at 14, Segovia has dedicat ed over half a century to the da- velopment of his art, meanwhile maintaining an air of poise and charm peculiarly absent from the performances of many other win ners of popular acclaim. Variously applauded as the "Prophet of the Spanish Guitar," and undisputed master of "the most poetic of musical instru ments," he has recently returned from his annual European tour, during which he performed 0 times in eleven countries. He toured the U. S. last spring. The Segovia legend permeates fields other than that of master ful performer. He is lauded also as musicologist, teacher and com poser for his chosen instrument, and for good reason, since his in strument, until his advent as its benefactor, was considered the tool of the cafe performer, rather than the source of inspiration for M n journalistic projects upon which he needs aid. in addition, Friedman will be in charge of the editing of the biennial Stjte Affairs Booklet, which will be distributed to all leg islators in Raleigh, every major newspaper editor in North Carolina and. other interested citizens. Miss Whitehurst will be the only woman on the Committee's officer slate. She will direct all paper work, recruit a secretariat and join with the ether officers in formulating any policy and plans. Young has asked that any student interested in serving on the Comit tee contact one of the officers and submit his name and home county. Ihe Committee, in addition to the officers, will be composed of one student from each of North Carolina's 100 counties. Young also stated that he recent ly had a "very satisfactory" meet ing with the University's Director of Development, Charlie Shaffer. Young said Shaffer appeared well pleased with the plans' and ideas of the Committee, and that he ex pressed hope the student group w'2ld work closely with the Univer sity Administration on the budget. Shaffer will speak to a meet ing of the entire Ccmmittee with in the next three weeks. By this time, the group's membership will be complete.
