Dr. Hu's address will take place inJ
Memorial hall at 9:15. It will not be
broadcast, it was learned, to allow the
Ambassador to "voice opinions freely.
IRC will stage an honorary banquet for
the Chinese emissary and other digni
taries at the Carolina Inn at 7 o'clock
Tuesday. Immediately after the open
forum club officials will give Hu Shih
a reception in Graham Memorial.
Mann warned that although the three
envoys are fully signed, they can ex
ercise their right to postpone their
speeches in the event of further im
portant war moves in China, the Dutch
East Indies and in Mexico. Dr. Hu
was scheduled for a Chapel Hill speech
during critical negotiations with Presi
dent Roosevelt shortly -before the at
tack on Pearl Harbor and was forced
to cancel.
The open discussion will give the Me
morial hall audience the opportunity
to question Hu Shih on vital news and
policies in the Far East war theater.
It is then that IRC expects. the Am
bassador to disclose his most straight
forward information.
For his February 18 address Dr.
Loudon will be accompanied by his

WASHINGTON A battalion of bluejackets and marines has
been formed and is fighting; side by side with General Douglas
MacArthur's American and Filipino soldiers on Bataan peninsula,
a navy communique disclosed last night.
A communique also revealed that the 5,400 ton naval tanker
Neches has been torpedoed and sunk
by an enemy submarine in an uniden
tified area, with 56 men missing and
126 rescued.
Offsetting this, the navy reported
that a torpedo boat from the United
States Asiatic fleet was believed to
have torpedoed an enemy warship af
ter stealing into Manila Bay under
cover of darkness. '
It was understood that the marine
battalion, which may include as many
as 800 men, was formed from forces
which remained in the Philippines af
ter the United States naval base at
Cavite was abandoned. Thus, no land
ing of reinforcements apparently was
involved.

In a new attempt to bring about ap

was announced yesterday by sopho
more president, Dotson Palmer.
Under the new plan one mimeo

dences will take the copy to each soph
omore in his own house for his signa
ture of approval or disapproval.
The proposal will be explained to
night at a joint meeting of the sopho
more executive and finance committees
at 7:30 in 111 Murphey hall. A new
class legislator will also be elected by
the committees to replace Marshall
Chambers.
The budget plan wil be put into ac
tion tomorrow and it is expected to be
completed by Friday, Palmer stated.
The proposal will take the place of
the old system of trying to lure a quo
rum into Memorial hall at chapel hour.
In the first attempt to have the soph
omore budget passed, only 75 members
of the class appeared. 1
At a meeting last night of the soph
omore dance committee further plans
for completing arrangements for the
class dance were discussed.
The complete budget is as follows:
total charges and estimated income,
$2400; auditing and bookkeeping, $10;
j supplies and general expenses, $20;
Yackety Yack and, Wootten-Moulton
expenses, $1695; debts, $20; dance,
$400; CYA, $100; Sophomore Day,

FBI Agent Speaks
Today in Gerrard
Initiating a series of classes, pre
sented by OSCD for the civilian pro
tection program, Mr. D. S. Hostetter,
special Federal Bureau of Investigation
agent, will lecture today in Gerrard
hall at 1:45.
Visiting Chapel Hill from FBI Of
fices in Washington, Hostetter will
speak on civilian protection during air
raids. Special attention will be paid
to protection against incendiary bombs
and poison gas.
"All students who volunteered for
air raid warden positions or fire watch
er posts in the OSCD drive should at-
tend this meeting without fail," said
Louis Harris, student coordinator.
Part of a series offered by the In
stitute of Government, the Hostetter
lecture will be the first of the classes
in civilian protection that the OSCD
is organizing for all students' who vol-
unteered. Tie-up of civilian defense
material in Washington is the only
drawback to the program as it has been
outlined.
