PLAYERS GIVEN ASSIGNMENT BY
 LEAGUE CHIEFS
Fifty-eight, Many of Them New, Assigned to City
 League Clubs

F'ifty-eigllt ball players were assigned to the three City League clubs by the organizations 5ffic- .als at a meeting held last night in the office of its President. Carl Theile. The American Legion and Elks drew 19 each and the Moose got even 20.
 With a wealth of new material on the roster of each and most of last years leading players avail able, the league promises to pro- vide local fans with the fastest brand of ball in its history, in the opinion of MT. Theile and other officials
 Looks We'll Balanced
 The strength of the clubs seems to be evenly balanced in every department. Pitching staffs have l cen bolstered up materially. the catching departments are stronger than last season, and every club has plenty of infielders and out fielders for the season.
 The Elks will start the season with it's championship team of 1881 practically intact It has Manning and Junge, who hurled them to victory last season. and Koski, Veteran lleaver last sea- son, goes to the club as the third boxman. Boyd, who caught most of games for the team last year and was one of the leagues lead ing l1itters, and Bobby Coughlin are backstops again this season
 Andy" Andrews, playing man. ager, and star first sacker. has Balog. Roller, Bormar, Harold Gall was and Dewey Baker from which to pick his infield. Niemi, Jim my McCloskey, B. Orme, William Rodenburg, Harry Murray, Lester Heron, G. Botello and Cooper comprise the outfield squad.
 Moose Array Strong
 The Moose has four hurlers, headed by Erskine, one of last sea- sons stars, Ant Henning, who moundsman of other years, Os- borne and Lowe are the others.
 Big Mac" NdasSpadden, team captain, will do the receiving as usual. aided by w. Jenne, a new conner. Little Mac" MacSpadden at first, Fred and Jack Schmidtz, Livingston, Holmann, Bob Henning and Moran are the infielders.
 In the outfield, Ramsay, Nello, Heinke, Sabin, Nelson, Tlwig Mo ran and w. Thomas will do their stuff.
 Vets Get New Blood
 A new pitcher and catcher as well as fresh blood in both the infield and outfield adds greatly to the American Leglon,s chances Of going somewhere this season.
 Pete Schmitz, shifted from the Moose to the Vets just before the close of the 1881 season, remains on the club this year. He. Bob Keaton and Emil Dionne, the lat ter a southpaw from Seattle, make up the Legions pitching staff that it as strong as any in the league. Van Houten, who caught for Ne mana during the feydey of rail- road construction days, and Kel- 1y" Blake will do the backstopping. Van" is a heady catcher and a consistent hitter

Protest against Increase in Rates
On Employers Liability Insurance

The companies which pro-
vide insurance for employers
under the North Carolina work
mems compensation law are try
ing to put into effect a big in
crease in rates.
Considerable criticism. has
been directed against the state
insurance commissioner because
the state industrial commission,
which administers the law, was
not asked to have a represent
ative at the hearing upon the
application for approval OF the
increase. In the words of r. R.
Clark in the Greensboro NeaUs,
the commission was not invited
to the party until it had an
nounced its purpose to crash the
gates"
A year ago, when the price
level of all commodities and
labor and all kinds of services
was falling, group of the most
important companies which sell
automobile insurance increased
their rates, and this increase
still prevails.
The insurance companies have
a tight organization which main
tains a rating bureau. This bu-
reaU makes the claim that the
cost Of insurance justifies a rate
increase. The industrial COM
mission disputes the claim.
At the hearing the other day
the chairman of the commission
declared that the rates should be
made lower instead of higher,
and in consequence of this dec
laration the companies have
been ordered to present on the
31st of August the data on
which they base their applica-
ton.
"The loss experience reports
submitted to us" says the COM
mission, "have contained hun
dreds of errors-errors in class
ificatiOns to which losses were
charged, errors in charging to
the policy year, errors in charg-
ing North Carolina experience
with losses belonging to other
states, errors even in the amount

The Dogwood Festival
Group Of Citizens Have Idea for a
JOIlification Here Next April

The suggestion has been made
that there be held in the Kenan
stadium toward the end of next
April a celebration called the
Dogwood Festival. So far there
has been no decision about it;
Phillips Russell, Lamar String
field, and other citizens are con-
sidering the matter and may
soon present something definite
in the way of program.
A jollification of an informal
character-with fiddlers and
banjo-pickers and ballad-singers
from neighborhoods all over
North Carolina, and possibly
with exhibits of native handi-
crafts-is what the projectors
have in mind. The idea was in
spired by the success Of the an
nual White Top Festival in the
mountain region of southwest
Virginia.
The Kenan Stadium is used
very little except for football in
tho foil ond xUiptar and prOh-
ably the University authorities
will be glad to place it at the dis
posal of the people who are pro-
noting this enterprise.
1t is proposed to hold the cele-
bratiOn at the season when the
dogWOod is in bloom in and
around Chapel Hill; hence the
name, Dogwood Festival.

COUNTY REQUESTS
ALLOTMENT FROM
THE RELIEF FUND
George Lawrence's Letter to
Governor Asks for Share
OF Government Money
STATES NEEDS IN DETAIL

The following letter, review
ing the situation of the unem-
ployed in Orange county and
stating the needs in the way of
relief, has been sent to Governor
Gardner by George H. Law
renee, the county welfare officer
Honorable O. Max Gardner
Governor of North Carolina
Raleigh, North Carolina
Dear Governor Gardner:
In view of the probability of
Federal assistance for local re-
lief measures in the State of
North Carolina we are herewith
presenting a statement of the
relief needs for Orange County
in the hope that if and when
Federal aid is available the pro-
portion of funds allotted to Or
-ange County may be based upon
this estimate.
Although we are not aware
of what plans may be in order
for actually administering Fed
eral aid within the respective
counties we wish to suggest that
50 far as Orange County is con-
cerned it appears advisable tC
handle such aid through its pub
lie welfare facilities which, we
believe, constitute the only logi-
cal channels for the administer
ing of public funds for relief
purposes.
In accordance with the plans
advocated by Mr.. r. w. Hen
ninger and the Governor s
Council on Unemployment and
Relief the set-up in Orange
County has been and still is un-
der the direction of the County
Board of Public Welfare. One
of the members of this Board
is Chairman of the HillsbOro re-
lief organization and another
Board member is an active
member of the Chapel Hill Cen.

to be charged. The records OF
the industrial commission will
show that 80 per cent Of the
time, the figures of the indus
trial commission have been ad-
mitted to be correct after an ex-
change of correspondence.
''If the national council cor
rectly fixed the rates applicable
in July, 1929, we believe we are
prepared to show that neither
the experience of North Caro-
lima nor figures based upon a
rational ratio of the same to the
national experience have justi-
fed all of the rate increases
which have been imposed upon
the employers of this state. We
know that many of the increas-
es could not possibly have been
the logical product of North
Carolina premium and loss ex-
perience for the year 1929. Be-
fore the industrial commission
was denied reports relating to
premium income by classified
tions it prepared figures on GER
tain classiications. One illus
tration will suffice:
For the policy year 1929, on
classification No. 220-yarn or
thread manufacturing, cotton
the reports including 83 per cent
of the total number of employ
ers in this classification, the
total pay roll was S16,415,834,
on which the total premium col
lected amounted to $136, ,791, an
average rate of 84la. There
was paid out, or approved under
awards, a compensation and
medical cost Of $68,337. This
experience indicates a proper
rate of 50 2-10 cents as against
the then published rate of 80
cents. Was this classification
thereafter given the full benefit
of it's experience? No. Instead
of the rate being reduced to 50
2-lO cents it was reduced to 70
cents.
"For the 1929-30 fiscal year
the average compensation cost
per case was $46.96, and for

Taking Down Signs
Highway Commission Is Removing
Advertisements from Right of Way

the state highway commits
sion has recently been taking
down advertising signs along
the highways near Chapel Hill,
and probably the same course is
being followed in other parts of
North Carolina.
Utder the law the commits
sion has control of a strip 60
feet wide, 30 feet each way
from the center line, on every
state highway. This strip is
called the right of way, and no
body may erect any structure,
or post any sign upon it without
the consent of the commission.
Private property, more than 80
feet from the center line, is be-
yond the commissions author
ity.
In some localities persons who
want the appearance of the
roads improved are seeking to
persuade owners to rid their
property of signs. A petition
for the removal of signs, bear
ing the names of many Chapel
Hill citizens, was presented a
few months ago to landowners
and merchants.

Strowd Has to Quit Proclaiming Sales because
Noise of Whistle Skaters NeighbOr's Nerves

Bruce Strowd has had to stop
blowing his steam whistle to an
nounce the sale of Ford cars. A
woman who dwells nearby has
complained that its shrill blasts
are a nuisance.
If Mr.. Strowd's business were
as depressed as most merchants
say theirs is, the neighborhood

cause in that case it would not

but he has been selling SO many
cars, new and second-h hand, that
the days have been made hide
Gus for persons with sensitive
ears.

for a new car, and four times
for a new truck, and on the 9th

Chapel Hill Chaf

The carefree spirit with which
University students set out in
search of adventure, in vaca-
tion time, gives Chapel Hill men
of mature years frequent occa-
sion to sigh for their departed
youth.
To these boys bent on travel,
money is desirable but not nee
essary. If they are without
money, they go anyway. They
are happy-go-lucky wanderers,
taking whatever comes, going
hungry one day and eating
heartily the next. They walk,
they ride with indulgent motor
lists, and sometimes they follow
the traditional hobo course of
hopping freight trains. Some
times they pick up jobs and
work a few days at a time in or
der to buy food and shelter
Sometimes two or three Of them
together manage to finance All
old broken-doWn Ford.
Our candidate for United
States Senator, Robert R. Reyn-
olds, was one of these student
adventurers. When he was here
in the University he went back
and forth between here and Eu-
rope, two or three times on a
cattleboat; it got to be such a
habit with him that his friends
nicknamed him Cattleboat Bob.

used cars, and one new truck"
Undoubtedly it was a pleas
ure to Mr.. HELEN, as a loyal
member Of the Strowd staff, but
it was not a pleasure to the
neighbOr. She stood the noise
with fortitude and forbearance
for a while; but, as the days
passed, as the cars kept on be-
ing sold, and as the whistle kept
on blowing, her nerves gave
way under the strain. When
Mr.. Strowd gave the order for
silence, early this week, the
whistle had blown to celebrate
the sale of Is new cars and
trucks and "a used cars.
Since the new Ford model
came upon the market in May,
38 Of the new cars have been
sold in Chapel Hill. In Orange
county, 81 per cent of all auto
mobiles sold in June and 83 per
cent of all sold in July were
Fords.

Gloomy about Football
Madry Does Not Seem Hopeful about
Prospects of Carolina Team

The gossip that is going
about does not reflect high hopes
for the University football team
this year. A piece written for
the papers by Robert w. Madry,
chief of the news bureau here,
gives the impression that he is
trying to be cheerful about the
prospects but can't find much
solid basis for cheer.
Taken by and large" he says,
"the 1882 squad ought to be a
bit more powerful than the one
of 1881.
Coach Collins would modify
any sort of prophecy with sew
eral ifs and butts. If, for in
stance, those boys who are now
on the border line in their stud
ies-and several of the best bets
are-manage to remove their
conditions before college opens i;
and if several others who are
having hard time with finances
manage to scrape up enough
,shekels back home.
GAS the situation stacks up
now, Coach Collins, who has just
returned to the Hill from his
eastern Carolina summer re-
sort, figures that: the Carolina
line will suffer because Of the
lack of capable reserves; the
first-stringers in the forward
wall will be okay, generally
speaking, but there is a big
yawning gap at center for which
there is no letter-man candidate /;
with seven letter-men available,
the backfield should be stronger
than in 1881"

GROUP OF STATE
ALUMNI WANT TO
EXCLUDE GRAHAM
Mecklenburg Chapter Suggests
Plan That Would Bar Him
From the Presidency
DISCRIMINATION CHARGED

The Mecklenburg county
chapter of the. N. c. State Col
lege Alumni Association has
sent out manifesto protesting
against the plan for the con-
solidated University and calling
for the disqualification of
Frank Graham as President.
Mr.. Graham is not mentioned
by name; the passage that re-
lates to him is as follows:
I'VE protest against the Sc
lection of any man now con-
nected with either or any of
these three institutions as the
President Of the combined coll
leges."
The sheet on which the state
ment is printed carries the
heading: THE n. c. Stater,"
with the sub-heading, IN. c.
State Alumni Association
Mecklenburg Chapter" The
names of the officers are at the
top of the sheet: Malcolm B.
Hunter, President Davis Rob-
inson, Vice President; Bill Carl
baldi, Secretary and Treasurer.
Probably the moving spirit
behind this manifesto is David
Clark, editor of a textile maga-
zine, who has repeatedly at
tackled the University and Presi-
dent Graham. There is no rea-
son to suppose that the protest
from the Charlotte group, aimed
at Mr.. Graham, represents the
opinion Of the great body of the
n. G.. State alumni. Many of the
most prominent of them are
known to be his friends and ad-
mirers.
In connection with this pro-
test from the Mecklenburg
chapter, it is to the point to re-
call that the proposal to consoli-
date the states three leading in
stitutions did not emanate from
anybody here in Chapel Hill or
from any graduate Of the Uni

BY Mecklenburg Alumni of N. C. State College

against the selection of amy man
now connected with either. This
would eliminate the possibility
of selecting any one of a large
number of able and experienced
educators simply because they
have been connected with one Of
the three institutions in the past.
"The task of the President OF
the consolidated institutions
will not be an easy one at best,
and it seems to me that the at
titude of any appreciable num-
Der of alumni of any institution
will be an important factor in
the success or failure of the
plan. Furthermore, it is incon-
ceivable that any man would be
selected by the board Of trus-
tees who would not be whole
heartedly devoted to the best
educational interests of the
state and the betterment of the
educational opportunity of our
youth. There is much to be,
said on both sides of the pro-
posal for the consolidation of
the three institutions, but GER
tainly we cannot diminish the
difficulties by imposing unreas-
enable restrictions upon the Sc
lection of a capable man as the
head of the new University"
