White, author of this article, writes: "In his quiet way he is attempting to provide a rallying point for those parts of the Republican party call them 'liberal' or 'moderate' or what not which he fears are being outtalked and possibly outmaneuvered by the gusty virility of what is now called Goldwater Republican ism.

UNC Debate Team Goes To Regionals By JOHN GREENBACKER The UNC Debate Team has been selected as one of the ten teams in the South to attend regional competition of the West Point National Debate Tourna ment. This is the first time in its history that the team has been so honored. Debate Team Captain Haywood Clayton and freshman Bob Pow ell will be the participants at the regional competition, to be held in Atlanta. Clayton has a three year rec ord of 69 wins and 41 losses, and Powell has a record of 20 wins and 8 losses. Powell is a former winner of North Carolina High School debate competition. Each school will debate with the teams of the nine other schools participating in the tour ies Address Symposium The article summarizes Coop er's three fundamental beliefs which he considers to be the fundamental principles of the Republican Party, These are civil rights, fiscal soundness, and an internationalist mind. Shortly after having received his B.A. from Yale and his law degree from Harvard, Senator Cccper entered politics. In 1928 he was elected to a term in the Lower House of tho Kentucky Legislature. He next became a judge, being appointed Circuit Judge in 1945. A year later Senator Cooper was elected to the U.S. Senate to fill the unexpired term of A. B. (Happy) Chandler, but he was defeated for re-election. In 1052 he again was elected to complete an unexpired term and again de.'eated when he ran for a full term in 1954. His third election to complete CR Bill In Senate; Battle Royal Starts WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen ate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield moved formally Mon day to call up the administra tion's civil rights bill, triggering an historic Senate battle over racial equality. . The Montana Democrat made his motion after urging the Sen ate to "seek the national good in its noblest terms" by acting on the House-passed legislation. Mansfield said it is time for the Senate to follow the lead of the courts, private groups, the x House and the President to cor rect the "oldest and most dan gerous faults in the structure of this nation." H i s motion came after Sen. Richard B. Russell, (D-Ga.) leader of the Southern bloc op posing the bill, spoke at length against the bill after using an opening parliamentary delaying tactic. Mansfield first tried to call the bill up by unanimous con sent. But Sen. Lister Hill, (D Ala.), one of the Dixie floor captains, quietly intervened say ing: "I'd have to object to that." Mansfield then formally made a motion to call up the bill dealing with voting, employ ment, public . accommodations, education and other rights for Negroes. He urged the Senate to debate the bill "as long as is necessary for all views to be presented and argued." After that, he said, "I implore the Senate to vote on it." The outnumbered but fiercely determined Southerners opened the debate with a scathing at tack on the bill and its support ters who, they say, "ride the wave of emotion and prejudice." Russell vowed "no compro mise" as he led his forces into what may be the most critical legislative battle in a presiden tial election year. Both sides squared off for pos sibly months of debate on the Kennedy-Johnson measure pro posing tough new safeguards against discrimination in voting, education, employment, use of federal funds and access to pub lic places. The bill was approved by the nament, and will argue both sides of the topic. The other nine schools UNC will face are South Carolina, Ala bama, Georgia, Kentucky, Duke, Emory, Vanderbilt, Carson-Newman and Wake Forest. The winner of the regional competition will go into the fi nals at West Point, New York. In previous encounters this year the UNC team has defeated the United States Military Acade my, Duke, William and Mary, Stanford, Wisconsin, Brooklyn and Chicago. UNC director of debate Dr. Donald Springen has described the West Point National as "the closest thing we have to a true national tournament." "It's just like basketball," Springen said, "you don't know how it's going to turn out." an unexpired term came in 1956. In 1960 he was elected for a full term. ..sow. l r f r --nriaiHHrYrtW-'rTiTiifn -T tmtM r iiMwn iui SEN. JOHN S. COOPER House a month ago by a 290-130 vote, with substantial Republican support. As soon as the Senate con vened Monday, Russell unveiled a well-greased war machine com bining intricate parliamentary maneuvering and longwinded ora tory. "We will fight to the last ditch," said Russell before he went on the Senate floor. Mans field warned of gradually long er hours, starting with Saturday sessions this week. Russell, head of the Southern Sen. Hill' cdmplained loudly that block, and his lead-off speaker, traditional Senate procedures had been ignored in the haste for action on the bill. PICKET(?) ARRESTED A UNC sophomore was arrest ed and charged with public drunkenness Saturday night while relieving one of the pickets in front of the Tar Heel Sand wich Shop. The student had been warned once by a police officer to move away but failed to do so. He then asked one of the picketers if he was tired and if he could replace him for a while. The officer returned, found the student picketing and arrested him. He was released on $25 bond later that night. DTH Panel At SP Meet The Student Party will sponsor a panel discussion on "What's Wrong with the Daily Tar Heel" at 7:30 p.m., tomorrow in Ger rard Hall. Participating on the panel will be DTH ' Co-Editor Dave Eth ridge, DTH Managing Editor Fred Seely, and one dormitory and one fraternity resident. A meeting of the SP scheduled for tonight was cancelled.

Initiating a plan to clamp a limit on interest rates charged for student loans was Sen. Vance Hartke (D-Ind.). Hartke, who has introduced legislation provid ing massive college student aid including low-interest commer cial loans, said some commer cial lenders are charging as much as 60 per cent interest an nually. Sen. Paul II. Douglas (D-Ill.), told CPS that he will introduce a bill holding interest rates charg ed for college student loans to CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CARQLjTUEg) AY, MARCH 10, Supreme Court Taps Law Grad For Coveted Job George C. Cochran, Editor in Chief of the North Carolina Law Review, has been awarded a clerkship for the U.S. Supreme; Court effective August 1, 1964. It is believed to be the first time in history that a graduating student in any North Carolina law school has been selected for the coverted appointment. Only 19 clerks serve the Supreme Court. Cochran received confrimation this week of his selection as full time clerk for retired Justices Stanley Reed and Harold Burton. He will also devote part of his time as clerk for Chief Justice Earl Warren. Dean Henry Brandis of the Law School said he was "very pleased from the standpoint of boSi George and the school. Professor Daniel Pollitt of the UNC Law School called the clerk ship "the most prestigious, sough t-a"ter job of a graduating law student." Justice Reed is still active on the lower court benches, being subject to appointment to special terms in the Court of Claims and Appellate Court for the District of Columbia to clear heavy dockets. Justice Burton no longer sits in the federal court due to ill health but, with Reed, maintains offices in the Supreme Court building. The appointment is for a one year period but may be continued for a second year at the discre tion of the justices. Cochran said his time will be devoted to petitions of appeal and certiorari made to the courts in which Justice Reed sits, and in the Supreme . Court through his joint work with two other clerks who serve the chief justice. Scholastic achievement is the chief criteria for the selection but historically th bulk of the appointments have gone to stu- -denfcs .irom such schools as Har vard, Yale, Notre Dame and the University of California at Berke ley. Cochran, a native of Mayes ville, Ky.f is from Justice Reed's home state. Cochran has served on the N.C. Law Review since his first year in the law school and, on the basis of being the top man in his class, was se lected to be its editor for 1963 64. He went to preparatory school at Cranbrook School in Bloom field Hills, Mich., then attended N.C. State College in Raleigh where he majored in textile management. Cochran served in the United States Army from 1958 to 1961, the latter year being the year he enrolled in the law school at the University of North Carolina. As a first and second year student in the law school, Coch ran worked with the Institute of Government redrafting the men tal health laws for the State of North Carolina. He is a member of Delta Theta Legal Fraternity. 6No Speaker Ban9 Says Stansbury Ray Stansbury, the banjo-picking grocer from Hillsboro, became the first gubernatorial candidate to come out against the speaker ban Saturday. "These people in Raleigh think they can fool the people of North Carolina," Stansbury said. "They point at the teacher and try to blame the teacher for . . . some thing. It's a sad day." Stansbury said he trusted Pres ident Friday to deckle which speakers should be allowed to speak. a maximum of nine per cent an nually. Hartke said some of the com mercial firms were "unknowing ly recommended by college au thorities without realization of their ownership or usurious terms." Named by Hartke as charging 60 per cent annual interest was the Tuition Plan, Inc. of New York, a subsidiary of C. I. T. Fi nancial Corp. In a Congressional Record statement, Hartke explained the firm's operation this way: "The plan will furnish a stu dent $500 a semester for eight semesters in return for a fixed service charge of $240 (the total) paid, at $106 a month for 40 months beginning a month after Mistrial Called For Wynn; Jury Hopelessly Deadlocked By JEFFREY DICK HILLSBORO A mistrial was declared yesterday in the case 'of Dr. William Wynn, UNC as sistant professor of psychology. i? ic it Six Are Charged With Conspiracy The Orange County Grand Jury returned a true bill of indictment yesterday, charging six persons ith "conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor.

"The student or his parents repays $530 on a $500 advance during each of the first two se mesters and then repays (dur ing the summer) $212 before the start of the third semester. "This means the third advance is only $288 plus the $212 which has been prepaid. "By the beginning of the third year, the parent is given $424 of his own money back and a $76 advance to equal $500. Still, the monthly payments of $106 con tinue until the parent receives no more advances but is given 1964 The declaration came after the jury had remained divided eleven to one for the day and a half's duration of its deliberations. . The lone dissenter on the jury was Otha Thompson, a Negro .and NAACP member who con tinually voted for a not guilty verdict. Wynn was tried for trespass growing out of an anti-segregation protest at Watts Restaurant on Jan. 3. In an earlier trial, Dr. Robert Osborn, a Duke Pro fessor was found guilty after a ten-minute deliberation on an identical charge concerning the same sit-in. Osborn was sen tenced to 60 days on the roads. Superior Court Judge Raymond B. Mallard sent for the jury shortly before 5 p.m., Monday. They had been in deliberation since noon, Friday. When asked if they had reached a verdict, the foreman of the jury, David P. Schorr told the court, "No, Your Honor, we have not. We stand eleven and one." Mallard then asked the jury, "Do you honesty believe you have exhausted every way t of reaching a verdict?" Schorr replied, "I believe we have exhausted every conceiv able means toward reaching a verdict." AH jurrors raised their hands when asked to do so by the judge if they aereed with the statement by the foreman. Thompson, the dissenter, later confirmed the fact that he was a member of the NAACP. "I told them that when I was on the stand." When asked to elaborate on his reasons for holding the defen dant not guilty, he replied, "I ain't gonna 'scuss it no more. We been through that over and over again in the jury room." Thompson was then asked if he was put under any undue pres sure during deliberations. He exclaimed, "Was I!" Mallard told Solicitor Thomas "Dick" Cooper to prepare for a retrial "Monday. An hour after the jury had re tired to the jury room on Friday, Mallard cited Wynn for contempt of court for reading a newspaper in the courtroom. Mallard or dered Wynn to appear before him on Monday to show reason why he should not be found in contempt. Yesterday morning, Mallard postponed hearing the case "until X FA ' ' iV' ":',- I - V"' ' ' V . ; V- , F ' ' . - " ' - ''' i ? , . , a " f - ' ' "s' - " .

They in cluded Education Funds, Inc. of Providence, R. I., a Household Finance Corp. subsidiary, which Hartke said charged as much as 54 per cent annually in interest. His study showed that federal (including the National Defense Education Act (NDEA)), state and other non-profit student loan rates ranged from 3 to 6 per cent. "There can be no question of the need for more favorable loan terms," Hartke said. Sen. Douglas, a former Chi cago University economist, said he would propose his maximum United the jury has reached a verdict." After declaring the mistrial, he told Wynn he "would settle that other matter" after . next ' Mon day when the retrial is scheduled to start. In other action yesterday, a jury was selected for the trial of Dr. Fredrick Herzog, a pro fessor at Duke University, charged with trespass arising from the same sit-in at Watts Restaurant. The state is expect ed to present its first witness when court reconvenes at 9:30 a.m. today. Fast Planned By Movement Local integration leaders are planning a fast starting next week, it was learned yesterday by the Daily Tar Heel. The fast will probably take place on the lawn of the post of fice, and would be held in an ef fort to dramatize the integration movement. Leaders of the Chapel Hill Freedom Committee had no com ment yesterday, and would not is sue a statement. Police Chief William D. Blake told the Daily Tar Heel that he heard nothing of the fast, but "if it were to be held on the post office lawn it would be out of our jurisdiction, as that is fed eral property." He indicated that the FBI would be responsible for the protection of the demonstra tors. If held, the fast would be the first public demonstration in a month. Local integrationists had declared a moratorium several weeks ago, citing improvement in the work of local racial commit tees, but have lifted the mora torium since. UNC STUDENT SERIOUSLY HURT IN ACCIDENT David Hammer, senior from Atlantic, suffered several broken bones and lacerations of the face when his car hit a tree eight miles east of Greensboro on In terstate 85 Saturday night. Hammer was returning to Chap el Hill shortly after midnight when he apparently fell asleep at the wheel. He was taken to Memorial Hospital in Greensboro. Sellout - ! 5 " J" X nine per cent interest rate as an amendment to the NDEA Act. It would provide that "no edu cation institution participating in the NDEA loan act may also participate in or cooperate with" any private college-loan program charging students more than 9 per cent a year. Douglas said he was astonished "at the high rates charged even by institutions which proudly proclaim they are low-cost lend ers." He cited the 11-plus per cent interest rates charged by "typical" banks in Allentown, Pa., and Cleveland, Ohio. But, Douglas said the worst of fenders were "small loan and finance companies which have established subsidiaries with philanthropic sounding names. 1 Press International Service ITEM Clinard Is New Head Of Cosmopolitan Cluh John Clinard, a Ph.D. candidate in Classics, was elected President of the Cosmopolitan Club last Sunday.
