FRIDAY ISSUE Next Issue Tuesday Vol. 34, No. 39 Congressman Busy Carl Durham Basing Renomination Bid • . i On 17 -Year Record of Public Service; Will Be In District Through Primary Congressman Carl Durham of Chapel Hill, who is conducting a vigorous campaign for renomination, is ap-j pealing to voting Democrats to send him back to Congress' because of his 17-year record of service to the Sixth ’ District. Local observers, including his campaign managers in this area, Gran Childress of ; Chapel Hill, and Ira Ward of Hillsboro, feel that Mr. Durham’s method of cam paigning is producing posi tive results. Mr. Durham himself merely says, ‘‘Things are looking, all right. I’m on the go day and night and will be in the district, from now until the primary.”! That’s Saturday, May 26. Prior to that he has speaking engage- 1 —• Endorse Durham Orange County Democrats have voted unanimously to sup port Kep. Carl T. Durham of Chapel Hill in his bid for re nomination -to Congress.

The one on May 24 will begin at 7 p.m. The time for that on the following day has not been fixed. For one who has had the unusual distinction of witnessing a Democratic County Conven tion depart from custom and choose to endorse him over an other Democrat, Mr. Durham is; modest. l,asW Saturday Orange Democrats adopted a resolution favoring his candidacy over the opponent, Ralph Scott of Ala mance County. Rut Mr. Durham did not reftefto that in an inter view whidh took place in the Hank of Chapel Hill parking lot. Neither did he refer to his being Chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on At-j omic Knergy. He merely detail-! ed quietly what he had done and supported in Congress. That ranged from his support of Veterans Administration pro-; grams to roads and airport bills,' from housing and hospital acts to education and labor measures,] and from farm and military pro grams to social legislation. The only recognition Mr. Dur ham took of his opposition dur ing the interview was when lie said that land reclamation pro jects were not as primary issues in this district as in other sec tions of the country; and that as for an increase in tobacco acreage, the farmers themselves control that by referendum. “As for myself,’’ he added, “I’ve al ways supported parity prices for farmers. If any decreases in farm income are revealed by the Bureau of the Census for 1954, it will be because of the dis ruption of the Democratic farm programs for 20 years by the Republican party’s insistence on flexible rather than fixed sup ports on basic commodities.’’ Then he touched on other phas es of his record. Representative Durham voted for the VA hospital building pro gram, which today is unequalled (Continued on Page 8) At United Church The Rev. W.

Miss Gilson hus been a friend of theirs for many years and has visited them at their ihome in Kngland. i Since Miss West fulfilled her I engagement to deliver a aeries of lectures at Yale she and her husband have been traveling about, mostly in the South. Aside from seeing again her old friend, Miss West’s chief interest in Chapel Hill, as it is wherever -'he goes, was to observe the life of the people—a broad term for her, embracing the University, schools, churches, homes, com munity government, and econo mic and social affairs in general. She questioned eagerly John Gitlin, the anthropologist, who, with Miss Gilson, met her at the airport. Another member of the Alumni building brother hood that she enjoyed talking with was Gordon Blackwell. She attended a luncheon of the Uni versity sociologists at which she heard a visiting scholar from the West German Republic com pare that nation with ours in respect to recent developments in public services.

The p’ earher voiced his own and the congregation’s pleas ure at the presence of a disting uished foreign visitor. When she and her husband were taken on a drive around, she spoke her delight at the simple Georgian architecture of the University buildings and the Inn and the Town Hall, the cam pus and the Arboretum, the sur rounding woods, and the Forest Theatre, and she exclaimed “What lovely homes!” When Miss Gil son said, “'Sometimes I feel as if I had better move back to Chicago where so many of my friends are," her reply was: “You’ll be making a bad mis take if you leave Chapel Hill.” When ahe was leaving she was disappointed at only one thing. “I have never been to a plane tarium,” she said, “and 1 wanted to go in the one here. I missed it." Two dinners were given for Miss West and her husband: one by Mr. and Mrs. George Nichel ton and one by Mrs. A. C. Burn ham. This Isaac has ilitsts pages la twa sections. CHAPEL HILL, N.

To Ufiveil Portrait of Graham Tomorrow A portrait of Frank Porter Graham will be unveiled in the Hill Music Hall at 11:30 a. m. tomorrow, (Saturday). It was painted by Leopold Seyffert of New York, one of the foremost portrait painters in the world. The portrait is a gift to the University from close friends and admirers of Mr. Graham. The first steps toward obtain ing a distinguished portrait were taken by the students of the University in 1040 when Mr. Graham resigned as president to accept appointment to the United States Senate. Many students contributed email amounts, but they did not raise enough to obtain the type of portrait desired. Accordingly, at the request of some of the students, a committee was organized in 1955 to receive contributions from friends of Mr. Graham. At the unveiling Dean Fred H. Weaver, secretary of the sponsoring committee, will preside. John L. Sanders, treas urer, will give a brief report for the committee. The address of presentation will be made by D. Hiden Ramsey, chairman of the committee. Chancellor R. B. House will accept the por trait on behalf of the University and Governor Luther Hodges will make a statement on behalf of the State of North Caro lina. Invitations to the presentation have been tent to all who are known to have contributed to the portrait fund and to other official guests of the University. However, the cegemony will be open to the public. Following the unveiling, the University will b<- host at a luncheon honoring Mr. Graham. Members of the Board of Trust***, of the Council of Bute, and official guests have been invittd to the luncheon. Chapel Mill Chaff L.G.

She said: (“Somebody stumbled over the watering-can,” I said: “It’s probably a dog.” We {were both very sleepy and in (no humor to go out and in vestigate. Next morning, when my wife came in from ;the garden, where she had ! found the watering-can ly ing beside a bench, she said:! '“About that dog.
