In presenting the petition to the Clerk of Court, attorneys Floyd McKissick, Clarence C. Malone Jr. and M. C. Burt charged that the defendants "could not receive a fair trial in any court in North Carolina." Judge Raymond B. Mallard addressed himself to the defense attorneys and charged "This is a false and scurrilious attack upon every court in the state and upon the Supreme Court." Upon presentation of the peti tion to the Clerk, the cases were automatically transferred to the Federal Court. According to Ma Icae, the cases remain in the Federal Courts until such time as tie court may decide to re man! the cases back to an other court. This could only be done, he added, if the court found the allegations in the peti tions to be untrue. A hearing will be called to Lriig the petition before the Federal Court. There attorneys for the demonstrators will argue CPU Interviews The Carolina Political Union will hold interviews for the sev en remaining positions this week. Interviews will be held Fri day from 2-5 pm. in Roland Parker I of Graham Memorial. Interested students should sign up at GM Information Desk before noon Friday. Graduates and un dergraduates may apply. Charges Dropped TACOMA, Wash. (UPI) II- legal fishing charges against screen actor Marlon Brando and an Episcopal clergymen were dropped Monday when Pierce County prosecutor John G. Mc Cutcheon refused to file them in court. "Brando did this for show on ly," McCutcheon asserted. "We're not going to let him make a mockery f the law or of our effice. He has made his point. There is no purpose in letting him sit in jail." Brando and the Rev. John J. Yaryan, canon precentor of Grace Cathedral in San Fran cisco, were arrested earlier Mon day by state game protectors for participating in an Indian "fish in" on the Puyallup River here. Brando and the Rev. Mr. Yar yan were booked into the Pierce County Jail before McCutcheon decided net to press charges. Brando and Mr. Yaryan, neither of whom have Indian ancestry, said they went fishing to support Indian claims that treaty fish ing rights had been violated. Brando and Cannon Yaryan, pastor of Grace Episcopal Church in San Francisco, were arrest ed by Walter Neubrech, chief enforcement officer of the State Game Department. Funeral Today For Chape! Hill Opera Singer The funeral of retired opera star and Giapel Hill resident Norman Cordon will be held in Charlotte today at 2 p.m. The former bass-baritone for the Metropolitan opera was en gaged in a statewide music pro gram and opera institute sponsor ed by UNC. A native of Washington, N.C., Cordon graduated from the Uni versity and was encouraged to enter opera by the late Paul Weaver, director of UNC's music department. Cordon was the lead baritone fcith the Metropolitan for 10 years. He sang in Lohengrin, igoletto. Carmen and other operas, but his favorite role was 6Mephistopheles" in Faust. Cordon was the commentator for 15 years on WUNC'-FM's "Lets Listen to Opera" radio show. His last program was heard Friday nighU x the petition in opposition to at torneys for the State of North Carolina. If the petition is found true, the cases will be heard in the Middle District Federal Court in Greensboro. If untrue, the cases may be remanded back to a state court. In his initial appearance in court yesterday morning, Mai lard immediately instructed those in the court room that "there will be no talking in the court room; there will be no eating or drinking in the courtroom; there will be no laughing in the courtroom; there will be no reading in the courtroom." Sheriff's deputies instructed students on several occasions to cease reading in the room or be taken before the judge for con tempt of court. Mallard began instructing the Grand Jury shortly after Court convened at 10 o'clock. In his hour, and one half lecture, Mal lard specifically pointed out the situation on criminal conspiracy. "I deem it necessary," Mal lard said, "to point out, in parti cular, criminal conspiracy." Criminal conspiracy is the un lawful concurrence of two or more persons to do an unlaw ful act, or to do a lawful act in an unlawful manner." A spokesman for the civil rights movement later said he felt this action was pointed out with particular reference to civil rights leaders. After instructing the Grand Jury, Mallard called the petit jury forward. Four perspective jurors were fined $20 when they failed to appear in court. Several jurors were then dis missed, among them Dr. Mau rice Natanson, professor of Philosophy at UNC. Natanson told the Court he was "morally and intellectually com mitted to the ideals of- the. civil rights movement and can .not render objective judgment." After the petition was pre sented, Mallard preceded to call each defendant before him, one by one. He asked each one if the attorneys presenting the peti tion were in fact representing Campus Calendar All Campus Calendar Items must be submitted is person at the DTH offices in GM by 2 p.m. the day before the desired pub lication date.

Piatt of the University of Chicago, a generation of 21st century Albert Einsteins is now in the making on America's college campuses. It is a potent combination of sex and IQ that has as its genetic consequence a rising output of baby genius quiz kids. Darwin might have guessed it. The top 10 per cent of our nation's smartest minds are being thrown together on co-educational campuses all across the land during the most susceptible mat ing season common to the species. Says Dr. Piatt, "These marriages are now pro ducing five or ten times the total number of 150 IQ's, for example, that we would get from per fectly random marriages in the normal popula tion," where IQs average 100. James W. Little of the University Testing Bu reau has facts to back up the Piatt report. While UNC doesn't give IQ tests as such, College Board Examination scores can be considered a work- their case. In all instances the reply was "yes." The judge excused the defendants from court for all cases presented in the petition. When court adjourned, ap proximately 20 persons still had not been called before the judge to answer the questions. 2 Pickets Assaulted Saturday Two pickets were heckled and assaulted Saturday night in front of Clarence's Bar and Grill on West Franklin St. Two students, one from Duke, were arrested when they were caught heckling and obstructing the pickets early in the evening. They were John Allen English, of Duke, and William Henry Burwell, who did not state his school. He is not from UNC. The two were charged and re leased on bond. The two picketers, Mrs. Burt Segall and Kent Cooper, were assaulted about 11 p.m. by two men who had been standing in the side street. The men hit Cooper twice with a rock used as a club and he fell. The side of his face was cut and he was bleeding inside his mouth. He was not taken to the hospital. Mrs. Segall was then hit in the face and the two men fled. A police car was stationed in front of Clarence's all night but had left to make a check down the street on both occasions. Cooper, who came here to visit a professor Saturday after noon, said he saw one of his as sailants standing a short dis tance away when the police had returned.. The police talked to. the man but did not arrest him when Cooper could not make "positive identification." Chief William Blake said yes terday that the suspect would be questioned. He said the man was known to the police. The picketers were represent ing the recently formed Commit tee of Concerned Citizens (CCC). A subcommittee of the CCC will meet today at 8 p.m. in the Community Church to dis cuss plans to lobby in Washing ton for the civil rights bill. The full committee will meet Saturday at 2 p.m. to discuss picketing activities. SG, IG Sponsor 'Careers 9 Friday Careers for Carolina, a pro gram to make students aware of the opportunities available in public service, will be held Mar. 6. Co-sponsored by Student Gov ernment and the Institute of Gov ernment, the symposium will bring to campus 18 speakers who are experts on various fields of state and national government. Administration, education, so cial services and economic de velopment are the major cate gories of government service which will be discussed. The significance, personal and educational qualifications, oppor tunities for achievement and trends of each major category will be discussed. Speakers will come from a three-state area to participate Smart able indication of mental capacity, says Little. During the time between 1958 and 1964, the top 2 per cent of Board Scores have risen from a raw score of 1354 to 1443. "People are definitely get ting smarter," Little said. It's interesting to notice also that the lowest that is. the dumbest 2 per cent of Board Scores have risen even a greater amount. This seems to indicate that people are not as dumb as they used to be. Little, however, is not as quick to admit that heredity has anything to do with the rising trend. "I tend to believe that a great many selective factors rather than heredity is responsible for the change," he said. If the Piatt report is right, we can look for ward to the time when eleven-year-old physicists will design our space craft and nine-year-old pro pesscrs inhabit our classrooms.

C, hospitals which had obtained assistance under the federal Hill-Burton Act. Without comment, the court turned down a request of the two hospitals for a high court hearing on the case. The impact of the action may extend to other states and com munities which have used fed eral grants for hospital con struction. The decision banning segrega tion policies in such facilities was handed down last Nov. 1 by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals which reversed a dis trict federal judge's finding. The lawsuit was initiated in 1962 by 11 Negro doctors, den tists and patients in the Greens boro area. The Justice Depart ment later was allowed to par ticipate in the case on the side of the Negroes. In other actions today, the Supreme Court: Upheld by a 6-3 vote a rul ing that all of Texas' 23 con gressional districts must be re drawn but opened the way for delaying the action until after this year's elections. A lower federal court held that the Tex as districts were unfajirly drawn under the equal population yardstick set up in a Georgia case two wks ago. The Sup reme Court however gave the state until April 1 to obtain court relief "in light of the present circumstances including the imminence of" the forthcom ing election . . ." Refused to give a .hearing to four New York City Negroes. 4 who claimed that the 1961 re alignment of congressional 1 dis tricts in Queens created " a "Ne gro ghetto." A special three judge federal court had dismiss ed their complaint because of lack of evidence. Ruled by a - unanimous 9-0 vote that the Federal Power Commission has jurisdiction over wholesale sales of electric power in interstate commerce without regard to state regula tion. The decision came in a dispute over a rate increase charged to Colton, Calif., by Southern California Edison Co. and discuss the topics which di rectly concern them. Among those speaking will be Joel Fleishman, Legal Advisor to the Governor; William Veeder, City Manager of Charlotte; Rus- sel Ranson. Administrator of Commerce and Industry for the Department of Conservation and Development; and Chancellor Ay cock. The program will last from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with a two hour break for lunch at the Carolina Inn, which will cost $2.15. Students participating in the program . will be excused from classes. Those interested in participat ing should sign up as soon as pos sible at the information desk at Graham Memorial. Only one hundred spaces are available. Sid? D am In '64 Moreheads Are Announced On Tube Today Final winners of the 1964 John Motley Morehead Scholarships will be announced at 5:30 p.m. today over WUNC-TV, a spokes man for the Foundation' said yesterday. eventy-two high school and prep students were honored Sun day night at a Buffet supper giv en in honor of the competition finalists." The finalists are from North Carolina public schools as well as from 16 accredited private schools in the eastern United States. They were selected from over 850 nominees. John Motley Morehead, 94-year-old, diplomat,, industrialist and founder of the Morehead Founda tion spoke to the group. "Get ready to catch the train or it will leave without you,' Morehead told the boys. "Never before has such a striving for knowledge been our duty." Morehead pointed out that the graduating class at UNC has grown enormously during his lifetime. Present also at the supper were John L. Morehead, vice chairman of the Foundation: Consolidated University Presi dent; William Friday; Chancel lor Aycock; and Foundation trustees and faculty members. Those finalists who do not win Morehead Foundation Scholar ships will receive full four-year tuition scholarships to the Uni versity. DOCS TO LOS ANGELES Dr. John C. Brauer, dean and Dr. James W.

MOORE 'Something More Than Just A Dorm9 Good By FRED SEELY A plan to give UNC residents "something more than a dorm to live in" is gaining impetus Gerry Good, MRC president, yes terday, released further informa tion on the "residence college" plan. 'The idea of residence col lege is an outgrowth of an ex change of ideas between student government and the administra tion in an ad hoc committee form ed early in the fall," he said. The committee consists of Dean of Men Willian G. Long, Dr. Clifford B. Reifler, Arthur Tuttle, Dr. Claimorne S. Jones, Bob Spearman, . Don Carson, Clark Brewer, Dick Ellis and Good. "The committee meets every wetek in an effort to get an out line for establishing the system next year," Good added. The system would probably re sult in: social activities centering upon specific residence areas and the pooling of financial re sources. newspapers for specific resi dence hall areas. officially changing the names of areas to specific residence college names. each residence college hav ing a president and each resi dent hall having a chancellor. faculty advisors for the var ious residence hall or units. campus chaplains for the res idence colleges. The campus probably would be' subdivided into the following resi dence groups: WORLD NEWS BRIEFS since to overcome it.

Doctors said there was nothing they could do other than make her last few hours as comfortable as possible with oxygen and seda tives. She failed to respond to such treatment as cobalt radia tion and chemotherapy.

"The Men's Residence Council has formed a special committee which will condense what the residence college would be like and prepare a report to be pre sented at the next MRC meet ing," Good said. "If approved, the plan will be printed and distributed to every resident of a men's living unit. "The MRC executive committee will also be visiting all the resi dence halls to explain the pro posed plan." Nobel Beauts By MAT FRIEDMAN His favorite form of recreation is "conversation, especially with pretty women." His address is the "Golden Helix" at Cam bridge University. And, he won the Nobel Prize in 1962 for de ciphering one of the greatest mysteries of genetics. Dr. Francis Harry Compton Crick, world-famous, world-traveled British biochemist, will present the first Elisha Mitchell Memorial Lecture tonight at 8 p.m. in Carroll Hall. In 1953, Dr. Crick and two associates rocked the scientific world with their findings on a strange complex substance called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Nine years later, Drs. Crick, James D. Watson, and Maurice H. F. Wilkins won the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology for working out the structure of DNA and explaining how it transmits characteristics from parent to child, and generation to generation. "Their suggestion of DNA,'.' says Dr. John B. Graham, presi dent of Elisha Mitchell, "marks one of the most important mile stones in biology in the last 15 or 20 years. "They made suggestions which led to hypotheses about what makes us what we are. They explained how the whole series of human characteristics could be carried in a single cell yet lead to a whole person, and how that it could be passed on from generation to generation." In addition to being famous for his biological work, Dr. Crick has a reputation for being something of a personality. Be sides his propensity for talking with pretty women and living in the Golden Helix named for the helix-shaped DNA molecule Dr. Crick once resigned his fellow ship at Churchill College be cause he didn't like the college chapel; in fact, he put up a 100-pound prize for an essay con test on "What can be done witll the college Chapels?" "Dr. Crick," says Dr. Graham, "is one of the real celebrities of science. "Before Dr. Crick's discov ery," he explains, 'it was thought that the genetic code Press International Service oeaK At Judge iMoore on both occasions. Candidates L. Richardson Preyer and I. Beverly Lake will make appearances here during the spring, under the same spon sorship. Judge Preyer held a meet-the-candidate breakfast at Camp New Hope last week. Judge Moore was honored last year at a reception at the home of Fred Cates, wiio was Orange YDC president at the time. Moore was the first of the three to toss his hat into the political ring for the May primary. A University alumnus, he served as a Superior Court Judge for 10 years and then stepped off the bench in 1958 to become legal counsel for Champion Paper Corporation, which has a large plant at Canton, in the western part of the State. He is desended from a line of pioneers that settled in North Carolina before the Revolution ary War and subsequently fur nished a speaker of the State House of Representatives and three Superior Court Judges. The University granted him its B.S. degree in Business Ad ministration in 1927. He then entered the UNC School of Law and was admitted to the Bar in (Continued on Page 3 w inne i ounce SCIENCE NEWS was contained in a protein mole cule. But Crick and his asso ciates felt that protein was just too simple for the genetic code." Their discoveries, says Dr. Graham, have had three major outgrowths: 1 They cracked the genetic code 2 They explained how DNA exactly replicates itself into the t next generation 3 They showed how the genetic message is transcribed from one generation to the next. "In addition to this," says Dr. Graham, "the scheme provides a quick and easy understanding of mutations (changes in the genes). Almost all present gene tic work goes back to the Watson-Crick model." Dr. Crick, who worked in Physics during World War II and made some important con tributions to radar development, was started on the path to DNA , through his X-ray work at the Cavendish Laboratories in Eng land. Dr. Watson, a rich gradu ate student at the time and for mer child prodigy, got the idea of using X-ray diffractions for genetic studies while in India, and got in touch with Dr. Crick. With Dr. Wilkins, a New Zealand-born physicist, they became one of the most famous teams in modern science. Dr. Crick, known for his global wanderings, will speak at both UNC Greensboro and Bowman Gray School of Medicine tomor row, and will spend Thursday at NC State in Raleigh. JJ A 4l I Tanix "T-l LIU I
