Villanova University's wildcat still
paced its cage in the unaccustomed
surroundings of Georgetown Uni
versity today after an unsuccessful
early morning retaliation raid
staged by students from the Penn
sylvania school.
Sometime before $50 am a quar-
tet of Villanovans slipped by the
Georgetown sentries and crept onto
the campus. They were determined
to recapture their mascot wildcat,
liberated" from Villanova earlier
this week by three Georgetown in
vaders.
They hung q banner Of defiance
and an efigy of Georgetown football
player in front of Copley Hall at the
hilltop, but their search for the cap
tive wildcat, hidden away in some
basement, went for naught.
Then they boldly entered the
building, leaving such printed in
suits as IAN Atom Bomb Will Burst

and Villanova get together on the
gridiron.
That's when the residents of
Copley Hall went into action. They
rallied their pajama-clad forces
and gave chase. 1t was no scrap
at all, said the visitors.

HEAVY TOLL LEAVES
BERNARD E. SQUIRES

Rest comes at length; tho life be
long and dreary,
The day must dawn and darksome
night be past;
All journeys end in welcome to
the weary,
And heaven, the hearts true home,
will come at last.
News of the death of Mr.. Bern
ard Squires fell like pail on all
Seattleites who knew him since
coming here as Executive Secre-
tary of the Seattle Urban League.
Squires was a master of the
forum from the moment he step
ped on the platform either as an
extemporaneou speaker or with
advance notice. In either case he
was at home. His language was
apt and pointed. strong and figur-
alive, gestures few but graceful.
A few years ago heading a COM
mittee at a Republican convention
In Tacoma, Wash, he was given
10 or Is minutes in which to state
his problem. So eloquently did
Mr.. Squires state in 10 minutes
matters requiring full hour, he
was permitted to continue his adj
dress with no resSction as TO
time. When he had finished the
committee chairman stated he had
saved them two full days Of hard
work.
He never turned down a request
to address an assembly and the
too frequent demands added much
to his demise.
The form which we behold but
a few days since is now clothed
in death. His spirit mingles with
the great army of loved ones now
made perfect in the eternal adora-
ton of the living God. With him
this is the end OF this worldly
earth. He sleeps the sleep that
knows no awakening. He is gone
from us forever.
As contributor, Squires added
much to the success of the North
west Enterprise We share the
grief of the bereaved family and
invoke the blessing of God and
the saints.

THE Burning Cross"
BACKED Out in Virginia

The Virginia State Board OF
Motion Picture Censors last week
announced refusal to rescind their
original ban rejecting Scheen
Guilds "The Burning Cross"
In face of the Boards action,
Jack Cartwright, Scheen Guild
publicity chief, who made the APP
peal in Richmond. pointed out to
them that Virginia is now
on record as the first and only
State to completely ban this pic
ture which is mainly an indict-
ment of the Ku Kluz Khan and
other types of un-American organi-
cations.
Cartwright also reports the pos
sibility that "The Burning Cross
might be screened for members
of the Congressional Un-American
Committee headed by Rep. Parnell
Thomas of New Jersey. The pic
ture will be offered to the Com
mittee as conclusive evidence that
some producers in Hollywood are
aware of un-American activities
in the nation and that this picture
is an about indictment of such
sub-versive groups.
A special screening for the hun
dreds of newspaper columnists,
correspondents, and reporters in
the National Capitol was planned
for October 2, with very definite
possibilities it would be held at
