Faculty members of the South

a gentle razzing last night at the
universitys annual dinner dance at

gest bird of the evening, an imi-
tation stork feet tall. which Prof.
Thomas S. Durham of the account
ing department explained had been
captured by the university's eXpe-
dition to Patagonia.
Prof. Durham welcomed the sub
Ject OF zoology to speaking pro-
gram which, he said, had run too
frequently in the past to such sub
Jects as accounting and the study
of the law.
He discussed zoology from a scien-
tific standpoint without skipping
any jaW-breaking Latin terms, and
then handed his colleague the stork.
Mr.. Barbee said he appreciated
the gift, although he obviously didn t
know what to do with it.

ginia, instructor in public speaking

Women Night-Riders
Reported as Georgia

10 on Rolls Indicted,
Imperial Wizard GriIIed;
Burber's Killers Hunted
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, March 30-Pros-
ecutors encouraged by fogging in
dictments against 10 men on Ku
Klux Klan rolls drew further re-
ports of terrorism from uneasy wit
nesses today in drive to find the
whip wielder who beat a suburban
barber to death the night of
March 7.
While Fulton County officers
rounded up the indicted men, in
cluding two deputy sheriffs. Solici-
tor John A. Boykin expressed belief
the inquiry, which has disclosed
2 kidnapings and % floggings about
Atlanta in the last three years, was
"only scratching the surface"
The Atlanta Journal said the
latest turn in the investigation was
report that a band of women fog
gers had operated in South Fulton
County in much the same manner
as male night riders.
The reports Indicated" the Jour-
nal story continued, "a woman now
residing in East Point had been
f1ogged twice. once by a group of
men night riders and later by a
group of eight women -.
"At Union City, two women were
reported to have been f1ogged, but
it was believed they had been
lashed by gang of men,"
Before returning the indictments
last night the jury questioned I'm
perial Wizard James A. Colescott
concerning Klan membership at
nearby East Point and obtained
from him roster and other chap
ter records.
The indictments brought to Il
the number of men accused since
the inquiry started after the whip
death of Isaac Castor. The husky
37-year-old father of three children
was found dead in field hours
after several men dragged him, pro-
testing, from his one-chair barber
shop. On knoll near his welt
marked body police found heavy
thonged whip.

China S Trade Door,
Wang ! Declares
Bids for Recognition in
Declaration Of Respect
For Foreign Rights
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NANKING, March 80. - Wang
Ching-vei and his Japanese spon-
sors made bid for international
recognition of his regime inaug.
urated here today by declaring re-
spect for the rights and interests OF
friendly" nations and an intention
to reopen China's door to the peace
full economic activity of powers who
conform to the new situation in
East Asia"
In his declaration announcing
formal establishment of the jap
anese-backed regime with himself
as provisional president and pre-
mier, Wang said his aims included
international cooperation against
Communism and promotion of for
eign friendship.
Claims Only Legal Regime.
He declared his Marking regime
to be the only legal government Of
China and warned foreign powers
against interfering with China in
ternal affairs by continuing active
support of Chang Kai-shek
Chungking government, which Wang
termed "a regional refugee regime"
(The Chinese government at
Chungking took note of Wangs
inauguration by instructing Chi.
nese diplomats abroad to present
to the governments to which they
are accredited formal denuncia-
tions of the Marking regime.
CThe declaration presented to
the State Department at WASH
ington termed the new central
government gang of slaves of
the Japanese" Recognition OF
Wang's regime, the document
said, would be considered as "an
act most unfriendly to the Chi
nese nation"
tThe Chinese denunciation de-
clared further that the Nanking
regime would be used to "over-
throw international law and or
der, to nullify the Nine Power
Treaty and eliminate all COM
merce and interests of the third
powers in China.')
Japan is the only foreign power
that has signified its intention of
recognizing the Wang government,
though formal recognition is ex-
pected to await the arrival in China
OF the ambassador designate to
Marking, Gen. Nobuyuki Abe. former
premier and ranking army man.
No Incident in Ceremonies,
There was little reflection in Nam
king of the bitter denunciation of
Wang emanating from Chungkinr.
The inauguration ceremonies we're
| carried out without incident under
the watchful eye of soldiers of
Wangs new army and japanese
gendarmes.
The return to Shanghai OF Chi
nese participants in the official
ceremonies and nearly 100 foreign
correspondents. mostly japanese,
was delayed for several hours to-
night when freight train was
Wrecked--the second such mishap in
two days-on the Japanese operated
misunderstanding Railroad.
Three coaches of the Nanking-
bound express were derailed yester-
day within sight of the city, the re-
suit of Chinese guerrilla activity,
Chinese said. japanese said both
wrecks were ordinary" accidents.
