Roosevelt Says 50,000
New Planes Needed
(By United Press)
WASHINGTON, May 16. Presi

for a 50,000 fighting plane program

many and 'the' Allies combined-in a
preparedness message calling for an
additional $1,182,000,000 to put the na
tion on a war footing.
He delivered the precedent to a
joint session, warning grimly that
the United States does not intend to be
caught short like other nations which
have been overrun by the enemy be
cause they were not ready to fight.
Congressional leaders responded
promptly and began turning the legis
lative wheels which will make the
ncessary money available and put the
program in the production stage.

Coed Inspiration
Lacking;. Seniors
Lose to Juniors
The box score shows only that the
Juniors bumped off the Seniors, 7-2,
yesterday on the coed field. The loss
was blamed on a lack of inspiration
caused by a lack of coeds.
No coeds from either side showed
up for duty in a scheduled tilt be
tween the two classes. It may have
been that they feared rain.
The more-experienced Seniors
proved they have not spent four years
here for nothing, by getting two runs
in the first inning. The Juniors, first
up, drew a goose-egg on the score
board in their half, but Bob Milner
hit, Jack Vincent walked, Jimmy Ham-
bright singled in Milner, and. Ken

STANLEY SPEAKS
TO REPUBLICANS
Local Club Hears
State President
"There is no reason for students in
college not becoming familiar with the
workings of politics by active partici
pation in campus'political clubs," said
Ed Stanley, president of the Young
Republicans of North Carolina, before
a meeting of the Young Republican
club of the University yesterday.
Mr. Stanley routlined the ways this
activity was being fostered by the
Young Republican state organization.
"The state group is now very much in
terested in arousing enthusiasm
among native North Carolina college
students who are Republicans in local
campus clubs," he said. He continued
by explaining the way in which the
college students could, after gradua
tion, keep active in the Young Repub
lican movement, saying that, ". . .

Cute Lassies Want
Dates for Dances
Did you notice in yesterday's paper
that cute little trick that Messrs. Ott
Barton and Bill Beerman would have
had down for the Junior-Seniors had
it not been for her broken ankle?
Has your heart, too, burned for
such adventurous romance? Since
the Daily Tab Heel feels that there
are many such souls among its read
ers, it has, contrary to usual policy,
consented to print the following clas
sified ad free of charge, so that the
cause of romance may be furthered:
WANTED Two dates for the Junior-Senior
dances May 17 and 18.
I am five feet three inches tall,
have brown hair and grey eyes.
My cohort is five feet seven inches
tall with black hair and brown eyes.
We are both all right lassies, word
of honor, but we were just overlook
ed in the rush. Reply to box 365 or

Thank you, dear editor.
Yours sincerely,

This unscheduled postscript to the
