FRIDAY ISSUE Next Issue Tuesday Vol. 34, No. 41 Radio Station Let Off Hook As Candidate Quits Running John Rogers, formerly a candidate for Town Con- stable of Chapel Hill, has conclusively withdrawn from the election. There were some tense moments before he did, though. San dy McClamroch, president of radio station WCHL, where Mr. Rogers conducts an early morning and a mid day radio program, stated to the Weekly on Tuesday that until Monday, when the fact came out that John Rogers’ name had actually not been officially taken off the ballots, though he had announced his intention to drop out of the Town Con stable race, WCHL had as sumed that Mr. Rogers had formally notified the elec tions board of his withdraw al from tne election. Publication on Monday of the fact that Mr. Rogers was at that time still in the tion, with his name on the ballots, put Mr. McClamroch and station WCHL in an em- barrassing position by im plying that WCHL was in volved in what Mr. McClam roch called a “shady deal.” WCHL, through no action of it.s own except its ignorance ■of Mr. Rogers’ failure to no tify the elections board of bis withdrawal from the race, was in violation of Fed eral Communications Com mission regulations unless Mr. Rogers made it official by tomorrow (Saturday) that he is not a candidate for Town Constable. Mr. McClamroch added in his statement that he apol ogized to the listening pub lic for the incident, though he was not responsible, that Mr. Rogers was not at pres ent working at WCHL, and that Mr. Rogers would not o continue working there if his withdrawal from the election was not made of ficial. ’ If Mr. Rogers had not of ficially withdrawn the FCG would have been quite with in it.s rights in cancelling WCHL’s license and taking the station off the air with as iittle as five minutes’ notice. The rule WCHL inadvertantly violated requires a radio station, the facilities of which are used hy a political candidate, to offer the same facilities to that can didate’s opponents. WCHL had not, of course, offered Vernon Burch, the other candidate for the constableship, equal radio time as was used by Mr. Rogers, since it was assumed that Mr. Rogers was no longer a candi date.

The Weekly has already published two such ; articles from her, and this week we received from her a third piece, of which she says in an accompanying letter: “Here's another finished up at Cherbourg and typed right at the port wait ing for the Queen Mary to arrive (from Southampton. After all the jrush and hubbub of the trip, it -will he good to stretch out on that jsundeck, and 1 am looking for-! ( ward to some relaxation before j coming back to work.” The ar ticle follows.) Hy Betty Hodges Os ail the things we saw in Italy, two will stick in my mem-j ory long after visions of the j old Coliseum and the Bay of Naples and Capri itself fade from my mind. One was a funeral and the other a meal, two incongruous things, but so vivid as incidents in my life that they wili mean Italy to me forever. The first, the funeral, we en countered in northern Italy, some distance from Rome. It had been raining sporadically most of the day, and now in late afternoon the thick trees and roadside weeds and wild shrubbery were hanging heavy and dark with moisture. We were driving at a normal speed, fifty or so, when the truck which had just passed us headlong in the manner of most Italian drivers, come to a screech ing halt xhead of us. We braked too and saw that a large part of the road ahead was blocked by what looked like a quiet and slowly moving parade of march ers with two tiny cars in the rear. When the truck ahead of us pulled out- and swept past the contingent we saw that the pro cession was a funeral, moving slowly along the wet country road. . g In deference to the nature of the group ahead we crept along behind for a while, then stopped and waited beside the road, thinking the procession would The Chapel Hill Weekly 5 Cents a Copy E’riday evening, June 1. About 80 seniors will be graduated. The ! High School Chorus will again ! provide the music. Beth Fleming end Gordon Blackwell were elect ed by the seniors to be student speakers. They were chosen for their leadership, scholarship, community and school service, and speaking ability. Senior class officers for this year were Mike Alexander, presi dent; Clyde Campbell, vice-presi dent; Beth E’leming, secretary, and Mary Bahnsen, treasurer. The school will close for the summer on Saturday, June 2. Pupils will report that day at 10:30 a.m. to receive their final grades. ij As we passed the funeral train we saw first in the rear what ! must have been members of the ■ mourning family dressed in black i and crowded into one tiny Italian -car. : Ahead of it was another auto . mobile, one of those economical I little French cars that look like i corrugated tin cans. In it :j driver and the priest, who was 1 a large man, so that he looked !crammed into the vehicle, like! -someone had pushed the last of i him in hurriedly before shutting : the door the way you would stuff l the protruding edges of clothes i into a two-full suitcase. He sat i there with his head leaning to ;;one side a bit, looking straight] j ahead at nothing in particular] ■j in a bored way while the car i; moved slowly forward in low gear. In front of this car was an or jderly procession of mourners, : most of them male, dressed in rough country clothes, not their field dress, but coats and suits that do for church and events like weddings and funerals. They j walked along slowly with their -heads bent a little and their hands crossed behind them, some carrying their caps, but all bare- 1 headed. The few women in the group 1 wore black or gray dresses with black scarves covering their heads, and they walked with their heads down like the men, 1 taking slow and deliberate steps,! as if to the strains of a funeral march that only the walkers but not the observers could hear. Before them was the hearse, which was a large black wagon with velvet curtains drawn back | from glass sides revealing an ornate and somber dark casket inside. It was drawn by six horses as black as the hearse itself, and each horse wore on its head a dark plume that bob bed at every step. In front of the horses, walking Dvo abreast, were young boys carrying the funeral flowers. Some of the wreaths were so big it took two to carry them, but everyone walked in line, march ing evenly. As we passed the procession and drove on I looked back to see tke whole thing from the front, and the trees overhead came together at the top form ing a dark green, damp roof for the procession to pass under. We drove on, then, and saw no more of them. The other thing I trill remem ber moat, the meal, had a differ- CHAPEL HILL, N.
