Founded Feb. 23, 1893 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1964 United Press International Service Business Must Join Poverty Fight Johnson WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Johnson told the nation's business leaders Monday that nothing they have is safe so long as hunger and ignorance are allowed to exist. The President, in an amazing performance interrupted re peatedly by applause, talked tough to the 52nd annual meet ing of the U.S. Chamber of Com merce. Apparently his audience loved it. He told them they had a big ger stake than any other group in fighting poverty, discrimina tion, disease, illiteracy and slums, and "I ask aren't you willing to take a penny out of every dollar to make taxpayers out of tax eaters?" Recites Corporation Profits He reeled off an impressive knowledge of various corporation profits and followed up with a barb: "All of you have a mar tyr complex. All of you are feel ing sorry for yourselves." Johnson had prepared a 3Y2 page speech scheduled to run for 15 minutes. Once started, however, he drawled on for one hour and 30 seconds, was ap plauded 30 times and interrupt ed 27 times by laughter. He began with a glowing pic ture of the economy and what his administration is doing to combat waste and inefficiency in government. The President said he has in-' vited Walter F. Carey of Bir mingham, Mich., president-elect of the chamber, and about 100 chamber members to the White House Tuesday evening to dis cuss his earlier requests for a hold-the-line policy on prices and wages. He will do the same with a representative labor group later this week and give labor the same message. "Whatever else you have," Johnson said, "you have an in dependent, tax-paying , light-biU . saving President in the "White House one who has faith in American enterprise." But his major appeal was for all-out business support of his anti-poverty program. He said that if a "peaceful change is impossible," a violent change is inevitable." ' ' 'A j . i M Library Holds Amnesty Day University Library officials re cently announced Thursday, April 30, will be observed as an Amnesty Day or "fine-free" day by Wilson Library and the de partmental libraries. On this day all overdue books may be returned with no fine to be paid and with no questions asked. Library officials stressed that this will hold true regard less of when a book was due, 2 days ago or 2 years ago, and they urged students to return any books they are not ' using. oiithern Politics Am Odd By BOB O'STEEN Is there a difference in the Democratic and Republi can parties in the South? "They's a difference, Lawd, yes," said a retired South ern carpenter. "The main difference is the Republicans believe in a lot of hard, harsh things and the Democrats in good living, good jobs, and good times." This was a typical reply. found by two University of North Carolina political scientists in their -large-scale analysis of the South's changing political face. Recent surprising election results, urbanization, and industrialization, have brought the once "solid" South into question about changes and trends of concern to national politicians and southerners alike. , Is there a party realignment going on in the South? A Republican upsurge? How are white and Negro voting habits changing? To answer some of these questions Dr. James Prothro and Dr. Donald Matthews have made a study of white and Negro political attitudes and habits in the South which is one of the most extensive ever made. The two UNC professors found, among other things: (1) an odd political inter-marriage. Though Negroes ihd whites are sharply opposed on -the smouldering segrega tion issue, both races identify preponderantly with one party, the Democratic. ; - (2) Though less educated, the Negro has as well de veloped political attitudes as the white.

BYRD AND YOUNG FRIEND During the Charlie Byrd con cert Sunday winding up Jubilee Weekend, this little'un became completely absorbed in Byrd's guitar work and wandered back and forth in front of the stage putting on a little performance of his own to the amusement of both Byrd and the audience. Photo by Jim Wallace ? ' ..... . ; ' '... ) r A A Smaskiiig cep 9 (3) Both races see the Democratic as the party of the little man, typified by the opening quote. The research project began following a $190,000 Rockefeller Foundation grant in 1960 to the University's Institute for Research in Social Science. Attitudes to ward political parties is a part of the whole project: "The Changing position of the Negro." A more exten sive interpretation of the study will be made in a book by Professors Matthew and Prothro, to be published next year. By interviewing 1,312 subjects scientifically selected as a representative sample, the two UNC political scien tists came up with some interesting figures. Of the whites with any political affiliation, 60 per cent "think of themselves" as Democrats and 14 per cent as Republicans. Fifty-one per cent of the Negroes con sider themselves Democrats and 10 per cent Republican a ratio of about five to one in both races. The surprising aspect of party identification is that, of those who are "strong" Democrats, 73 per cent of the whites are strict segregationists and 77 per cent of the Negroes are strict integrationists. . - One explanation for this might be in the separation ol identity that takes place in the individual's mind. . The study found that white Democrats identified closely wTith the South as a region and were twice as likely to "feel close to" other Southerners as were Re publicans; whereas Negroes of either party felt closer to Negroes than to other people. 4 S .'. .. t '-m- Photo by Jock Charlie Byrd Lauterer IO o o o Dean of Men William G. Long and GM Director Howard Henry agreed the event, on the whole, was a success. Long, however, wasn't pleased with the be havior of some non-students. "There were some' people present," he said, "who were not students here and they' showed little regard for others in their behavior. "However, on the whole, I was well pleased with the behavior of students at what I consider a truly, outstanding, campus func tion," he added. ; Continuing his feeling on Jubi lee, Long said 'I would -compli-, merit Graham "Memorial on the planning and carrying out of a fine event." . -When such a large number of students get together for fun and frolic, it's, almost inevitable that the site in this case, the GM lawn will be covered with debris after each performance. Such was the case after Jubilee. "The mess was really antici pated," said Henry. "The stu dents didn't utilize the trash cans some wanted set up,, but it's over for now." Henry was quite pleased with the attendance at the four con certs. "We haven't computed it yet," he said, "but it was rough ly 25,000. which is the best we've had in the two years we've spon sored Jubilee." - The talent presented, which ran the gamut from a jazz guitarist to a hillbilly quartet, with a pair of folk-singing groups included, was "very well received," Henry said. "A lot of people have com mented favorably on the talent we presented, and we hope to continue to get the best possible talent available for future pro grams," he concluded. Henry also revealed the dates for next year's Jubilee, which are April 30, May 1 and 2. NEW ; By FRED SEELY Carolina's long-awaited eighth sorority became a reality this weekend.- Some eight girls have pledged Phi Mu, and national officers in town yesterday expressed hopes of landing 30 more before the end of the semester. And the only real problem finding a place to live should be settled soon. The chapter will be named the Gamma Lambda Chapter of Phi Mu. Temporary headquarters will be set up in a private home at 215 Cameron Ave., and meetings will probably be held in the base ment of the Congregational Church next door. f-gjjj Are you pretty?

Executive Committee Spots Open Student Body President- Bob Spearman has asked all inter ested students to apply for execu tive committee positions. Inter views for committee appoint ments will be held in Graham ; Memorial from 2:30 to 5 p.m. ! today through Friday. t.f "It. Is" these committees '"that, will make the decisions and do the real work so that Student Government will be meaningful for the entire Student Body," Spearman said yesterday. "I would urge all students to apply for these committee posi tions. The only real requirement is a willingness to work for the betterment of the Student Body and the University. "I hope that you will take this chance to participate in Student Government," he said. "It is a significant part of the total edu cational experience here at Carolina."

(UPD President Johnson has scored an overwhelming victory in a nation wide student poll which accurate ly forecast both the 1956 and 1960 presidential election results. Johnson topped the list of 10 candidates on the poll ballot with 510,125 votes, 53 per cent of the 961,801 votes cast. His closest competitor was U. S. Ambassa dor to Viet Nam Henry Cabot Lodge with 130,551 votes. Democratic Inter-Marriage Strangely enough, the stronger an individual identi fied with the Democratic party the stronger was his at titude for segregation if he was white, or for integration if he was a Negro. Using the University's UNIVAC 1105 high-speed com puter to analyze massive statistical data on U. S. Civil Rights Commission registration figures resulted in fur ther anomalies. Though a majority of Negroes have political attitudes, only a third were registered to vote, whereas three fourths of the whites were registered. One-half of the "strong" Republican Negroes were, nevertheless, registered as Democrats and voted more in greater numbers for Kennedy in 1960 than did the white Democrats. - In addition to party identification, Drs. Prothro and Matthews studied party "image," the way a party is pictured in the mind of the individual, as "liberal," "hon est," -"bad," and such. About a third of both races could not name a single thing good or bad about either-party. For these people politics apparently has no meaning whatsoever. For whites, the Democratic party had about four times as strong appeal as the Republican party; and for Neg roes it Was even stronger. The Democratic party's main appeal and its basic im age is found in the consensus that it is the party of the (Continued on Page 3) SORORITY Mrs. Stephen Pugh, district president of the sorority, com mented yesterday that "we have several places in mind, including Finley Golf Course, and we should know something definite soon. "Plans have already been drawn up for a house at the golf course, if we decide to go there. No decision has been made so far as to how much money will be spent." She has been in town for sever al days to aid Phi Mu's here in informal rush. There are six members of the sorority who have transferred from other schools at UNC now, although all but one will graduate in June. Lowenstein Follows Barnett; Speaks In Rebuttal Tonight By JOHN GREENBACKER Al Lowenstein will rebut for mer Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett's views on the Civil Rights Bill tonight at 8:30 p.m. in Gerrard Hall. Lowenstein, who led voter registration drives for Negroes in Mississippi last summer, is Assistant Professor of Social Sciences at N. C. State. The Carolina Forum, which sponsored Gov. Barnett's speech last night, is also sponsoring Lowenstein in order to present both sides of the controversy. Lowenstein called Mississippi a "police state" in a speech before the Di-Phi earlier this year, and subsequent publicity prompted attacks against him by North Carolina conservatives. Lowenstein's picture of Mis sissippi is a state in which public authorities and police murder Negro citizens who attempt to obtain their civil rights. He related to the Di-Phi inci dents in which students who had . come, to Mississipp- to help regis ter iNegroes were thrown in jail by police 'for '"resisting to resist arrest" and parking in non-exis-tant no-parking zones. Lowenstein is currently the na tional coordinator for a March on' Mississippi to be held this summer. He has solicited funds and stu dent volunteers at Stanford, Oberlin, Harvard and Yale Uni versities, and wlil attempt to arouse support for the move ment here in Chapel Hill. Establishment of "freedom schools" for remedial education of Negro children and a more in tensified voter registration drive among qualified Negroes are the main goals of the march. The marchers will also set up community welfare centers and cultural programs for Negro citi zens. The registration drive will be aided by a team of lawyers who EDITOR'S NOTE Because of the late hour of former Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett's address last night in Memorial Hall, the DTH was forced to postpone its coverage of this speech.

Other Phi Mu's include Susan Dellinger, president of Mc Iver Dormitory; Polly McAboy, a member of Phi Beta Kappa; San dra Milstead, a graduate student; Grace Mconnell; and Ellen Ann Edenfield. Mrs. Pugh asked that names of the eight pledges be withheld un til alter in the week. Phi Mu was invited by the Pan Hellenic ouncil several years ago, but housing difficulties made it unfeasible until this year. The national sorority has 86 chapters, and UNC will be the third in will challenge state officials on civil rights policies, and a spe cial research team will study the economic and political plight of Greek Cyp riots Break Ceasefire NICOSIA, Cyprus (UPI) Greek Cypriots broke a cease fire agreement Monday and launched a major assault with mortars and machine guns on medieval St. Hilarion Castle, last major Turkish Cypriot strong- Harrington To Visit Campus .Michael Harrington, " 36-year-oJd 1 author whose book, ' The Other America' is credited with hav ing sparked the Kennedy-Johnson administration's "War on Pover ty," will speak at the University on Thursday, May 7, at 7:30 p.m. on "Politics, Poverty and Social Change."

Lowenstein will speak to coeds in Cobb Dormitory after his speech at Gerrard Hall. hold on northeastern Cyprus. United Nations officials said they arranged a cease-fire at 2:30 p.m. but it collapsed 30 minutes later when about 133 Greek Cy priots opened a barrage against the castle which dominates the pass on the Nicosia-Kyrenia road. There was no immediate re port of casualties but up to a. dozen Greek and Turkish Cypri ots have been killed there since the Greek Cypriot offensive be gan Saturday. The castle is lo cated on ' a' rocky crag and the Greeks are lobbing mortars over the walls and sending concen trated streams of small arms fire at the gun slits in its an cient walls. While fighting flared in the north, President Makarios was intervening in the south to halt firing at the village of Ayios Theodoros where Greek Cypriots have seiged a group of Turk ish Cypriot women and children in a schoolhouse. BULLETIN! Charles Albert Barton, a UNC sophomore, was charged with arson last night in connection with a fire at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house on the morning of March 22. Barton, 19, is a Morehead Scholar from Charlotte and a former member of the fraternity. He was deactivated in the spring semester of last year for scholas tic reasons. He is a resident of Ehringhaus Hall. The Orange County Grand Jury, after hearing evidence pre sented by fire department offi cials, returned a true bill of in dictment ordering Barton's ar rest late yesterday afternoon.
