MOVE TO GUST
GRAHAM seen
His Political And Sports
Views Are Both Found
Objectionable

CHARLOTTE, Feb. 20. - A
definite movement to GUST DR..
Frank p. Graham as president of
the University of North Carolina
has been started, the Charlotte
Observer stated ii a story this
morning.
The Observer declared that its
information had been gained
from an out-of-town member OF
the board of trustees of the insti-
tuition, who had been approached
relative to the removal of DR..
Graham at the June meeting Of
the trustees.
The Observer further quoted
Charlotte members of the board
as stating that they had not been
approached relative to Graham's
removal, but that they had been
informed of such a movement.
Opposition to DR.. Graham has
developed around the following
factors:
That DR.. Graham's administra-
ton has offended powerful and
financial interests in and out of
the state to the extent that mon
etary support from these sources
is imperilled.
That friction has developed
among administrative units of the
Greater University with a conse-
quent lack Of unity among indi-
vidual units.
That DR.. Graham's policies
have been an affront to the con-
servative mind of the state.
That important alumni groups
are opposed to the removal of the
engineering school from Chapel
Hill to State college, and that DR..
Graham's espousal Of this action
is prejudicial to the future devel-
opment of the University at its
Chapel Hill seat.
That his athletic program adopt
ed by the Southern conference,
has outraged the athletic-minded
alumni and created resentment
that will impair his future use
fulness as president of the Uni
versity.

HACOOD ASKED.
HIS TESTIMONY
BE WITHHELD.
Wanted Nothing That Look
ed Like Criticism Of
New Deal Revealed
USUAL COURTESY IS
NOT ACCORDED HIM

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29. CUP
Sen, James F. Bryns, D., S. c.,
disclosed last night that Maj. Gen.
TTagoad asked that his testimony
attacking spending of WPA "stage
money" be stricken from the pub
lie record six days before the do
cument was made public.
This is a courtesy given all high
army officers who appear
before congressional committees
in executive session and discuss
frankly vital problems affecting
national defense. Testimony of
other army chiefs, who appeared
before the army appropriations
subcommittee at the same time as
Hagood, was stricken.
Byrnes' revelation came in a
letter to Secretary of War George
Dern and was the latest Develop
ment in a furious controversy that
has rocked capitol hill since Ha-
good was suspended rs command
der of the 9Th corps area and or
dered home to "wait orders"
The letter made public by By
rnes stated that hearings of the
subcommittee which heard 'Ha'
good were printed in January.
0nly On comics were delivered on
Jan. 80 to members of the COM
mittee. Hagood was sent a draft
COPY of his remarks and asked If
he wished to revise them. He re-
piled that he didn't.
On Feb. 2 however, Byrnes
wrote Dern, Hagood changed his
mind. He then sent this wire to
the clerk of the appropriations
committee: &c. Please eliminate
nv entire testimony from the
printed copy of the hearings but
if this cannot be done at least
strike out everything that is incon:
sistent wit hthe budget or could
be construed as a criticism OF the
New Deal :"
Hagood, according to the let
ter, said he was making the same
request to Rep. Thomas |. Blan-
ton, D., Tex, and Rep. Claude A..
Fuller, D., Ark, members OF the
subcommittee. Blanton said last
night he did not know of the tele-
gram until Thursday night. .,
AS soon as the "stage money
testimony appeared in newspap-
ers, Byrnes said in his letter, Ha-
god Immediately wired the. South
Carolina senator saying he was
shocked" at being accused OF crl-
itching Mr.. Roosevelt.
"No criticism could have been
intended" said the telegram, as
| am personally staunch advo,,
cate of the administration and
know full we'll that the president
has done more toward proper
housing of the army than has
ever been done before"
Hagood, the letter showed, pro-
tested that his testimony was not
printed in full, declaring that the
whole thing being taken together
was very plainly a discussion OF
my own estimate submitted by the
war department to the Works
Progress administration itself .,
at does seem to me-" SAID
Brynes, chat in view Of his ur-
gent request that his testimony be
eliminated that the committee
should have complied :. they
thought otherwise
Byrnes was a member of a con-
gressional committee which yes
terday asked Dern to reconsider
Hagood's punishment.

Beloved Educator

The death of Sister Claudine, principal of St. Mary'S parochial school for almost half century, must have brought tears to the eyes of the hundreds and hundreds of WaterburianS who came in contact with this noble woman in their school days at the Cole street institution. The city is the loser by her death, just as it was the gainer by her many years in the local educational field. Her influence will be felt for many long day.
 How many men and women must be recalling now their days under Sister Claudine?, A stern disciplinarian always, she gained obedience and respect not through fear of corporal punishment but through youthful desire to please and to be numbered among her friends. Looking back on those years we often marveled at the patience and courage she con- tinued to show year after year. A most human and understanding person she proved to be time and again.
 St. Mary's school will almost be a differ ent institution without her kindly pres ence. Although of recent years she had been more and more dependent upon the assistance and advice of those nuns who had labored side by side with her in the interests of the Catholic youth of the city, she maintained almost to the end kindly interest in the many boys and girls who had passed through the portals of St. Mary's school during her principalship And this number is rallying now to pay it's last respects to beloved educator and a true servant of God.
