FBI Kept Careful
On Junius Scales'
(This is the fourth in a series
on communism in Chapel Hill.)
By VIRGINIA C ARSES
A "bespectacled, baby-faced"
man was arrested on November
19, 1954, as he stood at a bus stop
on the rain-swept corner of a quiet
Memphis residential street. The
next morning newspaper headlines
read: "Scales Held Under $100,
000 Bond in Tennessee Smith
Act Catches Confessed Commie."
Junius Scales, 34-year-old native
of Greensboro, was accused of be
ing the underground Communist
chief of Tennessee and the Car
olinas and was charged under the
membership provisions of the
Smith Act, which outlaws any con
spiracy to teach or advocate the
overthrow of the United State gov
ernment by violence. The maxi
mum penalty possible under the
Smith Act charge was ten years
in prison and a $10,000 fine.
In Washington the FBI announc
ed that Scales, a married man,
the father of one child, and the
grand-nephew of a North Carolina
governor, had attended UNC from
193&-1933 and again in 1946. They
said that he then went underground
and began secret activity in Octo
ber of 1951.

BAUCH TO SPEAK

watching Scales for some time,
and his arrest in Memphis came
only 5'2 hours after he was in
dicted by a federal grand jury in
the VVilkesboro, N. C, division of
the federal court. " j
Scales was given a hearing in
Memphis where it was decided that
he would be tried in the Middle
District Courts of North Carolina
beginning December 6, 1954, in
Greensboro. He was represented
by Fyke Farmer, the Nashville
attorney who helped gain a short
stay of execution for the Rosen
burgs after their conviction as
atomic spies.
A few days before the hearing,
handbills were distributed urging
that Scales $100,000 bond be re
duced. They said "Junius Scales
and the Communist Party are be
ing prosecuted solely for their
ideas. Neither Scales nor the Com
munist Party has ever advocated
force or violence, nor overthrow of
the government . . . Article VIII
of the Bill of Rights says 'Exces
sive bail shall not be required.' "
In Scales first appearance in
court m December he made mo
tions for a reduction in bail and
succeeded in getting it lowered to
$35,000. On December 21, he was

When the trial got under way in
April, Scales attorney, David Rein
of Washington, D. C, said that it
was a matter of public knowledge
that he had been a Communist, but
that he had no knowledge that the
Communist Party was dedicated
to the overthrow ot the govern-1
ment by - force or violence.
The government charged that
Scales was Ralph Clontz, a Char
lotte lawyer, who told of his dou
ble life as FBI informant and as a
student of Communism under
Scales. His close association with
Scales was from September, 1948,
to October, 1951. Clontz said that
the first statement of violence he
heard from Scales came in De
cember, 1948, when Sales told him
"force is the only answer."
In addition to a photostat from
a 1947 Daily Tar Heel of a state
ment by Scales in which he said,
"I am proud to be a member of
The Communist Party, which is
democratic both in its own struc
ture and in its outlook," the gov
ernment produced a surprise wit
ness, a "soft-spoken" UNC student,
to provide more recent evidence
against Scales.
Charles Benson Childs, 24, of
... - i
High Point and Winston-saiem,
told the federal court that while
he was in the party under Scales
until August. 1952, he was also an
undercover informant for the FBI
He "half rose from the witness
chair, pointed to Scales as the
party chairman for the Carolinas
and stated that, in the summer of
1952, Scales had urged him to re
tain his summer job at the Western
Electric Plant at Winston-Salem,
rather than returning to college.
Scales reportedly said that "trade
unions are the schools of the rev
olution, and the party was trying
to get students to go into industry
that an economic crisis during the
next national administration was
imminent, with matters "coming to
a head in five or six years," and
that if Communists returned to
school and lost their contracts in
industry,' "we would have to wait
for the Red Army to liberate us."
Childs said he became interested
in Communism while in high schoo
in High Point, when he had several
discussions with an English teach
er who was "in the Gastonia (tex
tile) strike of 1929" and later when
he heard a speech by Mike Ross
a furniture union organizor, whom
he later learned was affiliated with
the Progressive Party. Through
Ross he met Bill Robertson,
member of the Communist Party;
and at Robertson's home in Chapel
Hill he received several pieces o;
party literature, including the Con
stitution.
He "decided these people's
views were dangerous to my gov
ernment" and went to the FBI to
offer information.
Henry Farash, "known to me
as district organizer for the party"
united him to join the party on
October 12, 1950. Two weeks later
he paid the 50 cents initiation fee
and was admitted.

Hickey Gets First Victory Ride Of Season
'We Kept Fighting Back,'
Says Smiling Jim Hickey
By CURRY KIRKPATRICK
"We hung on and kept fight
ing back."
Jim Hickey smiled as he greet
ed reporters in the small room
which serves as an interrogation
pit after each Carolina home game.
The smiles have come few and
far between for Hickev in the last
five weeks, but yesterday he look
ed as it a huge weight had been
lifted from bis shoulders.
"Yes sir, we hung on and final
ly got it," Hickey beamed to the
writers gathered around him. He
was referring to the briddiant 49
yard pass-run play from Junior
Edge to Bob Lacey which brought
the Tar Heels their first taste of
victory and sent the Kenan Stad
ium gathering into a state of tem
porary madness."
Big Difference
"This win is going to make a
big difference in this team,"- the
UNC coach said ."When a ball
club has dropped four straight, a
win is all that can perk it up.
If we had lost -after fcavin it
Editorial Freedom
won, well " i
Asked what was going through
his mind when South Carolina
quarterback Dan Reeves lotted a
last-ditch pass to Sam Anderson
alone near the end zone, nicisey
replied, "I was ready to shoot my
self." "Hank (Barden, Carolina de
fensive back) lined up in the middle
of the field and was set all wrong
for that play. But he recovered
and got over there in time. He
just did get that guy." (Barden
tackled Anderson just two yards
from the end zone and the clock
ran out before the Gamecocks
could get off another play).
Praise For' Students
Hickey had nothing but praise
for his team in particular and the
student body in general during the
long victory drought.
"I feel the student body had as
much to do with our win today
as that Edge to Lacey pass play.
They have been great and have
stuck with us all the way. The
team appreciates this and so do

I."
Hickey went on. "I'm always
asked, 'How's the morale? Are
the kids up? Are they letting up
on you?' I can truthfully say that
there is no problem whatsoever.
The kids have been tremendous.
They've given it all they've got
and never dogged it."
The coach was especially happy
about the Dlav of his young sopho
mores. He praised Ronnie Jack
son, Ken Willard, Tommy Ward
and Barden for their improvement
over past weeks.
Future Chances?
The coach was then questioned
about Carolina's chances the re
mainder of the season.
"I'm not making any predictions
but you've got to remember that
this is a young club and the sopho
mores are getting better every
week. We've played some real good
teams and the guys have gotten
some good experience. We played
our best game today. I think we'll
be all right from here on in."

Barely Misses TD
By HARRY W. LLOYD with 12:23 to go and appeared to
NorUi Carolina, fighting desper- be driving for an insurance score
ately to break a four-game losing when a Joe Craver-led Carolina de
streak, grabbed the lead yesterday fense rose up to stop mem on the
with less than five minutes to play
and walked a wobbling tightrope to
escape with a 19-14 victory over the
South Carolina Gamecocks
The Tar Heels, after trailing for
44 minutes of the game, scored!
their third touchdown with 4:49 left
on
their
most feared offensive
piay, the long pass trom quar
terback Junior Edge to wide end
Bob Lacey.
That 49-yard play ended the scor
ing and started the excitement be
fore 25,000 fans. For Marvin Bass
swift and dangerous Gamecocks
came within a hairbreadth of
cracking over the Carolina goal foi
another score.

The Gamecocks were unable to
push the ball over the final two
yards before time ran out.
The visitors, with breakaway
threat Billy Gambrell scampering
in al 1 directions, showed latent
power all through the contest. 1 he
flashy halfback, who rolled up '61
yards along the ground, kept the
UNC defense loose at all times.
The Tar Heel offense, which was
practically ml in the first hah,
dominated the final quarter of pla
before the last minute.
Carolina Drives
With the visiting Gamecocks
ahead by 14-6 going into the last
period, the Heels engineered their
only continuous drive of the game.
They took an SC punt on their 43
just before the end of the thirc
period. Edge set the drive in mo
tion with an eight-yard pass to
Frank Gallagher. Eddie Kesler
slashed up the middle for eight
more as the period ended.
Fullback Ken Willard and quar
beck Edge did the running for the.
next first down. From the 31, Edge
flipped a flare pass to halfback
Ronnie Jackson, and the ball
slipped through Jackson's hands.
They came back, however, with
the same play and went 14 yard3.
This gave the Tar Hecb a first
down on the 17.
Edge, looking for a receiver, was
run cut on the 13. Willard, who now
is beginning to play up to his po
tential, took a handoff and blasted
through a small hole in the middle
cf the line. When a pair cf South
Carolina men hit him, he didn't gc
down, but carried them right with
him into the end zone. Jackson, on
a flare pass to the right in an at
tempt to tie the game, was knocked
out of bounds by Gambrell just
short of the goal.

Willard Runback
It was the second Carolina TD,
however, that was the most spec
tacular play of the day. South Car

pass from Dan Reeves to Ken
Lester with 8:53 to go in the first
quarter.
The kickoff was short, and full
back Willard took it on his 17
yard line. He bulldozed up the

left sidelines, and ran untouched
into the end zone. For the final
30 yards, he simply outran the
South Carolina defenders.

down was a miniature game in:t

off 28 yards to the USC 46. The
Gamecocks, needing to cover the

minutes, abandoned their famed
ground game for the swifter ar.d
