CROWNING TOUCH The crowining touch was provid- ed by Secretary of the Army Ken- neth Royall when the University of Nerth Carolina played Georgia at Chapel Hill, N. C. Royall, a North Carolina alumnus, not only enjoyed a free round-trip flight to the game in an Army plane, but sent a limousine and chauffeur, also supplied by the government, down to Chapel Hill for the sole T of drivine him from the airport to the football field after oo pamdiy AUl The chauifeur had to drive at fast clip all the previous night, rowly escaping several speed tickets, in order to be on time for this supposedly important assign- ment. At Chapel Hill he had to wait outside the stadium until the conlest was over and then drove his boss back to the airport, fol-| lowing which he drove all the way back to Washington alone. Yet the Army tells Congress it needs more money. Note—Secretary Royall's explan- ation is that the State Department was trying to get Dr. Frank Gra- ham of the University of North Carclina to become U. N. arbiter of the Dutch East- Indies dispute, and had asked Royall to persuade the trustees of the university to give Graham a leave of absence. Therefore, he felt that he needed his car at Chapel Hill to call on the various trustees. The Army had ne reply to the query as to why Secretary Royall have ordered a car from nearby Fort Bragg, N. C., instead of bring- jng ome all the way from Wash- ington.
