He is a Buddist monk of the third order, ordained in Peking in 1937. ... - His great grandfather, Mathew J. W. McCauley was one of the founders of the University, giving UNC its first 600 acres. Kemp still holds the all-time broad jump record for China (23'7I4") which he won in an international track meet. He is the third cousin of Kemp Plummer Battle President of UNC in the reconstruction period after the Civil War. He is going to install a ski run at his home with a "snow making" machine which makes snow in 30 temperature with compressed air and water. ' Student At UNC ', : Born in Grassy Creek, a town on the Virginia-North Caro lina line, Kemp came to UNC in 1930 working to. provide for his education. The following year he joined the Marine Corps. "After basic training at Parris Island, I was stationed in the fartherest port," said Kemp as he projected himself in his imagination to the day he arrived at his post. "It took them 87 days to get me there. - Practically everyone else had been dropped off at other bases around the world, but I got to go to Peking, China." Kemp stayed in Peking during the four years he was in the Marine Corps. Afterward he remained for seven more years as a member of the Courier Service of the Diplomatic Corps. "I was the only courier . in Peking," Kemp said, as 'his dark eyes flashed rcminiscently, "but let me explain this from the beginning. ' I started attending night school at the Chinese language center of Yenching University, which was founded by John D. Rockefeller. There I met Hatahaa Japanese; boy slightly older than myjelf. When I rented an eight room com pound in Peking, Hataha shared it with me. . , "In 1937 when Japan openly took over North China,' I discovered that .Hataha was a brigadier general in the Japanese army. The Japanese red ball flag of the rising sun was raised over , our compound, giving us immunity to anything. The United States, of course, had not yet gone to war with Japan. "Hataha. was captain of the Gendarmes in Peking and was responsible for bringing Marshall law and order back to "Pe king r when it was thrown, open to. looting by 3,000 Japanese troops. In addition, he was the aide to General Kwabi, head (Continued on page 3) - .

Th-e revolutionary leader's statement was broadcast over Radio Seoul shortly after the i junta leaders had Korean Presi dent Posun Yun . air an appeal for Uremier Chang to emerge from hid in g and surrender. Political observers here dis counted reports that the coup might be failing. Such reports gained currency when Gen.

"There appears to be only some 3,600 revolutionary troops in the city of Seoul," Magrud er's statement said. "All of them came from units in the reserve."
