Dr. J. B. S. Haldane, world-renowned scientist, will
not speak on UNC campuses this fall, as he had been in
vited to do, as a result of North Carolina’s gag law.
Dr. Haldane, a native of England, declined to answer
questions put to him by UNC officials about his bacK
ground. The questions were asked as part of the UNC
procedure for enforcing the law banning Communists

If you ask Prof. Donald An
derson his address for mailing
purposes, he will give you the
number of his house on Green
wood Road.
But he was reminded, some
time ago, that he also has a
geologic address and it is e
scientific distinction of a sort.
When he told a geologist where
he lived, the geologist said, "Oh,
you live on the edge of the
escarpment at the fault line ov
erlooking the Triassic Basin.”
That is just as notable an ad
dress, from the scientific stand
point, as Madison or Park Ave

aspects.
Chapel Hill residents who live
on that granite promontory that
looks out towards Raleigh and
what is now called the Research

The ground between what is
now Chapel Hill and Morrisville
(where the ABC store is) just
gave way and the earth sank.
The region is about 20 miles
wide and from 60 to 80 miles

The fault created a large fresh

Chapel Hill is on granite, and
the fault line precipice is about
200 feet high. But on the Morris

President' William C. Friday
said Dr. Haldane declined to

Dr. Haldane, 71, was invited to
address classes on Consolidated
University campuses in Chapel
Hill, Raleigh and Greensboro.
The invitation was extended by
the Institute of Biological Scienc
es at N. C. State.
UNC officials don’t know whe
ther Dr. Haldane is a card-car
rying member of the British Com
munist Party. At one time dur
ing World War 11, Dr. Haldane
was the editor of the British
Daily Worker, a Communist
journal.
Dr. Haldane, according to his
biography, was fired from the
Daily Worker editorship in a
dispute over policy.
Dr. Haldane has made head
lines with his unorthodox politi
cal views.
However, he has long been rec
ognized as one of the world’s
leading scientists in the fields of
mathematics, genetics and biol
ogy. He .is the author of more
than 40 books, and the holder of
top medals in the biological sci
ences in England, the United
States and Italy.
Long professor of biology at
the University of London, he
espoused Marxism in the 19305,
was also a staunch anti-Fasckst.
He wrote an early study of the
effects of bombing on civilian
populations and was allied with
Winston Churchill in calling for
British preparedness in the face
of the growth of Hitler’s Germ- r

FBI Agent
Investigates
Ex-Students
While Larry Phelps was testi
fying before the House Un-Ameri
can Activities Committee in
Washington Friday, an FBI agent
was in Chapel Hill picking up
back issues of The Daily Tar
Heel.
The three back copies the agent
got contained articles on Mr.
Phelps, who graduated from UNC
last June, and John Salter of
Greensboro. Mr. Salter is also
a former UNC student. Both
were members of the Progres
sive Labor Club here, and were
among American students who
traveled to Cuba recently in de
fiance of State Department or
ders not to go there.
The FBI agent said he was
from Durham and referred all
inquiry to the FBl’s Charlotte
office. The Charlotte office had
no comment.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Mr.
Fbelps testified to the HUAC
that an interview with him pub
lished in the Daily Tar Heel was
correct in saying that he went
into Cuba to test the right of
the State Department to restrict
American travel. He admitted
going to Cuba and said he would
continued to visit “anywhere I
damn well please.”
Mr. Phelps received an AB in
history from the University last
June.
He said he obtained a passport
late last year for a Christmas
vacation trip to England and
France, but that the trip had not
materialized. He said he knew

Bus Transportation
On Board's Agenda
Superintendent Howard Thomp
son will ask the Chapel Hill
School Board to start consider
ing the implications of the Hum
ber School Transportation Act
at the Board’s meeting tomor
row night. The Board meets at
7:30 in Dr. Thompson's office
in the basement of the West
Franklin School.
The Humber Act, which au
thorizes school bus transporta
tion for ail students living a
mile and a half from the school
they attend, was passed, almost
unnoticed, during the last ses
sion of the General Assembly.
Because of the expense involv
ed for most school systems to
provide more buses, the pro
visions of the act do not go
into effect until January, 1965.
"There's not much we can do
about it this year,” said Dr.
Thompson, "but we’d better be
gin thinking about it.”
At the moment, a child is en
titled to bus transportation only
if he and his school arc a mile
and a half apart on opposite
sides of municipal limits. The
move to have this State law
changed to provide more trans
portation was initiated in part
by the Chapel Hill School Board
last year.
In other business Dr. Thomp
son will report to the Board on:
—Renovations of buildings and
equipment made during the sum
mer.
—The electrical inspector’s re
port on all school buildings (per
fect throughout).
—The insurance program now
in effect on school buildings and

"Professors will have a chance

A panel discussion on “Aca

Chairmen Picked
For Chest Drive
Mayor Sandy McClamroch, chairman of the 1964
Chapel Hill-Carrboro Community Chest drive, report
ed his organizational plans to the Community Council
Thursday night. The drive will begin with a kickoff
dinner November 1. The goal this year is $43,012.
Mr. McClamroch said his area divisional chairmen
had been^selected, except for one: Bob, Bdyce and Bob
Simpson, business; Sim Wilde and Earle Wallace, main
UNC campus; Dr. Robert Zep
pa, Health Affairs: and Mrs.
William D. Carmichael 111 and
one other person not yet ap
pointed, residential.
The area divisional chairmen
will choose their captains, who
will in turn choose solicitors.
Tommy Gravitt of Central
Carolina Bank and Trust will be
responsible for the drive’s audit
ing. Collier Cobb Jr. will be
advance gifts chairman. Drive
headquarters will be in Home
Savings and Loan Association on
Columbia Street.
Mr. McClamroch said there
would be no changes in the or
ganization of the drive except
that Boy and Girl Scouts would
be sent from door to door with
solicitors to stimulate interest
in contributing to the Chest. Y-
Teens will also join the drive
by packaging solicitors’ kits.
Negro Enrollment
Is Rejected Again
For the second time, the
Orange County Board of Educa
tion has refused to admit a 16-
ycar-old Negro girl, Linda Hope
Long, to the 11th grade in Orange
High School.
In an unannounced session the
Board “reconsidered” the ap
plication. The Board's minutes
said the reconsideration came
“upon request from her par
ents and upon presentation of a
letter from both parents stating
that they would provide transpor
tation for the child.”
The. minutes concluded: "Con
siderable discussion followed.
The application was not approv
ed."
Linda Hope Long's first ap
plication was turned down by
the Board last month in a meet
ing when two other Negro ap
lications for admission to Orange
High were approved. No official
reason was given for the de
nial then, though the Board’s
discussion indicated that trans
portation problems contributed

in tiie August meeting Board
member Delmar Brown said
that Linda Hope Long would
have to pass the Negro Central
High School in Hillsboro in trav
eling from her home to Orange
High.
Superintendent G. Paul Carr
said that Mrs. Long indicated
she would not take legal action
to reverse the Board's denial of
her daughter's request.
However, Mr. Carr said he
thought the Rev. Thomas Cath
cart of Hillsboro would have tak
en legal action if his two daugh
ters, Narviar Clemencia and
Tonye Maria-Louise, had been
denied their applications for ad
mission to the 11th and 12th
grades respectively in Orange
High.
The two Cathcart girls were
admitted to Orange Hitfi, the
first instance of racial integra
tion in the County school sys
tem.
Mr. Carr said of Mr Cath
cart, “I don’t think there's any
question that he would take it
to court. 1 think he’s the plant

pose.”
In other business during its
unannounced meeting, the board
agreed to rent the old Caldwell
school building to All American
Apparel Inc. for $25 per month.
The board also initialed legal
procedures for selling the school
at public auction, pending a bona
fide purchase offer of $5,000. Pre
sumably the offer would come
from the garment manufacturer,
who earlier had inquired about
either renting or buying the
property.
