Edens, 59, told a regular faculty meeting Friday he has written to the board of trustees submitting his resignation and asking that it be considered final. In his letter which he read to the faculty, he said a 76 million dollar, 10-year development program the university will embark upon next year should be guided for the full term by a younger man. Dr. Edens is only the third president of the school, which was enlarged from Trinity College in 1928 after tobacco tycoon James B. Duke gave it a 60 million dollar endowment.

During his tenure at Duke, Dr. Edens directed a 12 million dollar development program from 1949 to 1952, the first such campaign in the school's history. In recent a the university moved into newer areas such as commonwealth studies, research on aging and world rule of law. Before coming to Duke, Dr. Edens was associate director of the General Education Board of the Rocekefeller foundation.

Dr. Edens said he will remain at his post until the school can name a successor. He said a committee already has been appointed. Dr. Edens, who will submit his resignation officially March 23 at the next meeting of the trustees, said he has no plans for the fu- "ure.

"It is inceasing clear," he wrote the trustees, "that the next 10 years in the life of this university are going to demand vigorous promotion and management on the part of an administrative leader who can be expected to remain at the helm over the entire period of development. Therefore, I believe you will be well advised to select as soon as possible a new president whose normal tenure will extend over a longer period of time than I would wish for mine." Dr. Edens came to Duke from the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation where he was associate director. Previously, he had been vice chancellor of the University System of Georgia and dean of administration at Emory University. Norman A.

Cocke of Charlotte, chairman of the Executive Committee, said he thought no friction was involved in the resignation. He said Dr. Edens was not asked to resign directly or indirectly and that if any friction was involved, he was not aware of it. Cocke's remarks came after an unidentified said Dr. Edens' resignation was caused "by friction within the administration."

Uruguay, with one of the world's softest penal codes, has a iO-year maximum penalty for sex crimes which can be cut in half for good behavior. The sentences are usually well below the maximum. There is no death penalty or life imprisonment in Uruguay. The maximum sentence for first degree murder is 30 years.

Chile's courts provide sentences of from 10 to 30 years for sex crimes. But, if the offender is also convicted of larceny and assault, he can receive the death penalty. Rape carries a sentence of 5 to 10 years in Venezuela. The country does not have capital punishment. The maximum for any crime, including murder, carries 30 years.

Argentine law carries a 6 to 15 year sentence for rape. The penalty may be increased to 20 years, if the act results in injuries to the victim's health.

By early Friday morning so many buses, trucks and cars were stalled on the Pennsylvania Turnpike that nothing could move not even the snow removal equipment. Police closed a 175-mile stretch of the toll road all the way from Irwin, to Carlisle, Pa. Drivers who tried to get out of the area on other roads found their paths blocked by snow. Motorists quickly filled motels. Others not as lucky jammed into the turnpike restaurants.

They were stranded there. "Some people are asleep at the counters," said Doris Gunger, 28, a waitress'at the Somerset Turnpike Restaurant. "Others are huddled on the floor. And some are just standing around talking. They are.

all pretty patient." An estimated 3,000 persons jammed into the small community of Bedford, and a state of emergency was declared. Hun dreds were given beds and food at churches. Others slept on the floor at a turnpike restaurant. And the restaurants along the pike were running low on food. Miss Mary Jane Bacon, daughter of Mr.

Spence may have suffered, a heatr seizure before the car he was driving rolled a considerable distance and finally plunged into a 25-foot hole at the end of a dead- end street. Dr. N. H.

Wooding, medical examiner, said it is indicated Spence died from a seizure rather than a two and one-half inch laceration of the forehead. The Export Tobacco Company driver was known to have a heart condition and had taken a tablet for it a few minutes earlier when he discharged a company official from the car, the medical examiner was told. The incident took place on Arch St. about 6 p. m.

Swanson Waller, a local grocer, said he drove past the tobacco company car and noticed Spence bent over the steering wheel as if lighting a cigarete. Waller continued slowly down the street and suddenly his left rear fender was struck by the free-rolling Spence car which then scraped along the side of Edmundson Warehouse 50 to 60 yards, rolled across Broad St. and plunged into an abandoned building foundation.

The minister reported that a large group of white Africans planned to attend Graham's meetings. Graham arrived Friday after a week's rest in Victoria Falls. He was informed that the Sudanese government has rescinded permission for him to conduct a meeting scheduled next month in Khartoum. A Graham spokesman said no reason was given for the action but he noted that martial law still is in effect in Sudan and that the meeting would have conflicted with the Moslem Holy Month of Ramadan. Graham has spoken out against what he called Moslem aggressive tactics against his crusade in Nigeria.

Anti-Christian literature was circulated during one of his meetings in Lagos and other meetings were closely watched by Moslem missionaries. upwards to 200 truck owners have not yet bought the 1960 tags.

In a statement issued after a meeting in Raleigh Friday, the committee put itself on the side of Negro groups, mostly college students, protesting segregated eating facilities. The major Protestant denominations are represented on the council.

There were few incidents reported Friday in the demonstrations, which have spread far and wide since starting at Greensboro almost three weeks ago. Negro students picketed stores along Raleigh's main street where they have been refused service. With the exception of one drug; store, lunch counters were closed. In Winston-Salem, three variety stores opened lunch counters for the first time in several days but closed down again Friday when Negroes requested service. None received service, and there was no attempt to force the issue.

The statement from the church council's Human Relations Committee was signed by the co-chairmen, Dr. H. Shelton Smith, professor of A i a Religious Thought at Duke University, and 1 the Rev. W. R.

Griff, secretary of the North Carolina Baptist State Convention's Department of Interracial Cooperation. The committee commended Negro demonstrators "for their self- restraint under provocation," and deplored incidents of violence. "We recognize the problems faced by store management in adjusting its policy to provide nondiscriminatory service, and we pledge our wholehearted support and the good offices of our-committee to this end," it added. Meanwhile, the sitdown movement struck a northern chord Friday as eight Yale students picketed a Woolworth store in New Haven, Conn. The theme was picked up in Chattanooga, as about 30 Negro high school students sought service in two downtown variety stores.

At Hampton, two more sit- down demonstrations prompted the- closing of a variety store lunch counter which wes the scene of the Old Dominion's first such demonstration. Almost 60 students from Hampton Institute took seats at the Woolworth store counter in an afternoon sitdown before the stand was closed. A morning session attracted 17 Negro college students. At Chattanooga the counters were closed immediately on arrival of the Negro groups. Several white youths gathered to watch the proceedings but there was no heckling.

"We read the papers. We got our ideas from other people," said one young Negro. "We want civil rights, we want mixed classes like others." In the New Haven development, police first interfered with the Yale demonstrators but then let them alone.
