Jimmy Wallace went to
Prague in early August, 1946.
There were 25 students
from 10 colleges in the Amer
ican delegation, three or four
of whom were Communists.
They talked a great deal
going over on the ship about
forming a group which would
someday be known as the
NSA.
As Wallace recalls, Prague
was crawling with Commu
nists and they had all inten
tions of taking over the con
ference. Eastern Europe at the time
was not exactly a vacation
spot, as soon became evi
dent. Some students were
risking their lives in attend
ing the congress.
Franco sent out an order
for the Spanish delegation to
be hunted down and execut
ed, but all but one of the stu
dents made it to Prague.
Greek Students were not al
lowed out of the country and
the Egyptian delegation de
clared themselves observers
after the Egyptian Govern
ment outlawed the participa
tion of its students in an in
ternational congress.
Actually, the Communists
were in a minority at the
congress. But the anti-Communists
were sometimes split
in their voting, and often
threw the vote to the Commu
nist side.
As Wallace wrote later, this
was an example of demo
cracy that the Communists
didn't understand the anti
Communists often voted how
ever they pleased, whether it
meant splitting their delega
tion or not.
And were it not for the
American delegation, Wal
lace opined, the congress
could have been called a
Junior United Nations, be
cause every delegation ex
cept ours, voted just about
as its government wanted it
to vote.
Wallace wrote:
"The (European) students
were the vanguard of the re
sistance students. Many of
them now are holding re
sponsible positions in their
governments.
"Thus, these students oft
times assumed that the
American delegation was
speaking for the American
government. We were not,
"I am not running on a
platform of idle promises,"
said Goodfellow, "In the last
two weeks I have rebuilt an
ailing staff, revamped the
front page layouts and im
proved our news - gathering
techniques.
'The effects of these
changes should be obvious to
everyone, for we now have a
smoother operation than ever
before. I further have laid
plans to expand to two sports
pages, initiated a program
of more in-depth reporting
and feature writing, and in-
creased the diversity of the
editorial page with more stu
dent and faculty contribu
tions. "I have discussed means
of increasing Residence Col
lege news with many of the
governors, a program to
which I am totally com
mitted, i
"My editorial policies have
been made plain in the last
few weeks, and I feel it is
far more responsible and
relevant that any policy
which students have been of
fered in the past.
Because of the time - con
suming duties Of editing the
Daily Tar Heel, Goodfellow
"will not be able to meet as
many of the students person
ally as other candidates may.
"I cannot allow the quality
of the DTH to suffer because
of my candidacy.
"I stress that I am not
making promises," he said.
"I am doing everything I
feel is important to UNC stu
dents. "My platform is the Daily
Tar Heel."
The NSA At UNC
and that was what the State
Department wished to have
made clear."
The program of the Amer
ican delegation was very
elaborate the most detailed
of any delegation.
The major points of the
program were:
The collection and de
struction of all atomic weap
ons. To work for a limited
world federal government to
be developed t h r o u g h the
U.N. -
Academic freedom in the
universities.
The success of those pro
posals at the conference was
not clearly defined by Wal
lace. Obviously they didn't suc
ceed outside Prague.

in late September, the Amer
ican delegation made further
plans to form a' national or
ganization of students. They
decided to meet at the Uni
versity of Chicago during the
Christmas vacation to offi
cially create such an organi
zation. On his return to Carolina,
Wallace made an address on
the congress, and subsequent
ly the report was published
in the Daily Tar Heel.
There was an amazing lack
of interest in his report.
In late November, " several
student organizations on cam
pus announced plans to se
lect representatives for the
Chicago conference. At first
there was no interest shown
in attending the conference,
but at a second meeting of
student leaders, 16 persons
were listed ,as candidates for
a three-man delegation.
The Student Legislature
was banded the job of elect
ing the delegates, and on
Dec. 6, three students, plus
Wallace, were named as dele
gates. On December 28, they join

The above statement does
appear on page 15 - of the
UNC catalogue dated "term

The yellowed pages of the
slim grey book attest to its
authenticity as it lists the
curriculum for the year when
the University was 92 years
old and Kemp P. Battle was
president. .
To apply for entrance each
student has to be "at least
16 years of age," and take
entrance exams in Latin,
Greek, and math. The Uni
versity was a large one for
the boutn numbering nine
buildings, including dormitor
les. All rules came under
one general statement
"Students will be required
to observe docorum and cour
tesy to each other at , all
times. They will not be al
lowed to retain in their pos
session any pistol or other
dangerous .weapon."
Apparently honor was still
settled by pistols and seconds
at dawn in those days.
Undergraduates could se
lect one of three courses or
majors the classical course,
philosophic course, or scien

The classical courses in

and practical morals. The
philosophic course included
such subjects as Latin or

The vice president of a local bank is "greatly en
couraged" at the decreasing number of insufficiently-funded
student checks.
"I don't know whether it is indicative of increasing
maturity of students or not, but it certainly is a pleasing
thing to see," said W. R. Cherry of the North Carolina
National Bank. .
Cherry also said that students comprise a "sizable
number-but not a majority"-of persons responsible for
bad checks.
"In proportion to the growing student body, I feel that
the number of student checks that bounce is declining
every day," he said.
The statement was supported by the majority of mer
chants intereviewed by the Daily Tar Heel last week.
Most reported that the percentage of checks they have
to return for payment is either smaller than or the same
as last year's figure. ...
"As a general rule, the University students are better

NEW ORLEANS, (AP)
David W. Feme's death cre
ated fear yesterday among
some people who claimed to
have information relating to
Ferrie or Lee Harvey Oswald
in connection with the as
sassination of President John
F. Kennedy.
Ferrie, labeled by D i s t .
Atty. Jim Garrison as a prime
informant in his investigation
of the assassination, was
found dead in bed Wednes
day. A preliminary autopsy
report today ruled out mur
der, leaving suicide, natural
causes or accidental death as
possibilities.
A woman who was about to
give the Associated Press de
tails she said related to Os
wald's activities in New Or
leans was frightened into si
lence. She warily greeted a
reporter at her home.
"You see that," she said,
directing attention to a snub
nosed .38 calibre revolver plac
ed on a nearby chair. tcl don't
say anything might happen to
me. But I just won't talk to
you. I have nothing more ,to
say."
Another person on the peri
phery of the case, David Lew
is, a bus station baggage clerk,
dropped out of sight last night.
Neighbors said the Lewis
family had sudenly left town.
Lewis had told newsmen he
feared for the safety of his
wife and four children because
of his knowledge of a possible
conspiracy to kill Kennedy.
However, Lewis appeared
at the district attorney's office
today. Before going into Gar
rison's office he. said:
"I'm not worried about my
self, but I am about my fa
mily. Maybe there has been
too much said about me al
ready, but they know my name
and know what I look luce and
they know where I work, so
that's it"
A onetime private investiga
tor, Lewis claims to have
known Oswald, the man named
by the Warren Commision as
Kennedy s assassin,
Coroner Nicholas Chetta rul
ed out murder as a possible
cause of Feme's death.

his family in the courtroom.
He sat alone and watched the
proceedings with no show of
emotion. He served as an ar
tillery office in Europe dur
ing World War II.
Muir, who appeared before
the court fully dressed in his
uniform, entered a plea of
guilty to all charges and spec
ifications against him.
Muir said in a statement
read to the court by one of
his army - appointed attorneys
that he realized he had made
a mistake and now was will
ing to serve in the Medical
Corps as a non - combatant.
Muir is a distant relative
of the late Josephus Daniels,
who was President Woodrow
Wilson's Secretary of the
Navy.
Cheeks
The Orleans Parish coron
er said the specific cause of
death was an aneurysm a
small sacular aneurysm of a
cerebri artery. He said such
aneurysms frequently rup
ture, spilling blood into the
brain. He likened this to the
failure of an inner tube with
a weak spot.
A large quantity of pills for
vascular disease was found
in Ferrie's apartment. But the
coroner said even an overdose
of these could not cause an
aneurysm.
Dr. Chetta first fixed the
time of death as Tuesday eve
ning. After talking today with
George Lardner Jr., Washing
ton Post Reporter who said
he left Ferrie at 4 a.m. yes
terday, the coroner said he
could not "rule out the possi
bility Ferrie might have died
as last as 4 a.m."
The coroner said the death
would remain unclassified un
til a toxicological report was
completed in about a week.
Garrison termed the death
an apparent suicide. Dr. Chet
ta said there was nothing to
indicate a" suicide except an

A sales clerk in a men's clothing store said that after
working in several university towns he has found Chapel
Hill students to be "very good with their checks."
Usually, all it takes is a student ID card to get a
check cashed, and sometimes even this requirement is
not strictly enforced. ,
"If they look like students, I cash them," said a mer
chant. One reason for the decreasing number of student bad
checks may be the $3 surcharge that local banks began
adding to overdrawn checks last year.
In addition, many businesses post signs warning peo
ple that if their checks are returned they will be assessed
a fee (ranging from 25 cents to $1).
Other requirements include a minimum purchase,
backup identification and, in many instances, personalized
checks.
But perhaps the most significant factor in the reduced
numbers of bad checks was cited by bank vice president
Cherry:
"Students nowadays have more money to spend, and
they become more responsible in spending it. I suppose
it's a sign of maturity."

dining room table, was typed

cluttered apartment.
Garrison, who created inter
national headlines by launch
ing his own investigation into
the assassination, described
Ferrie's death as a temporary
setback to his investigation.
He said he felt Ferrie was on
the brink of producing signifi
cant information. Neverthe
less, he said, he remained opti
mistic that his investigation
would proceed and produce re
sults. One aspect of Oswald's acti
vities reportedly being investi

report that Oswald tried to
make contact with Anti-Castro
Cubans in the New Or

forces.

President Kennedy was assas
