Briefs From UP McArthur Has No Authority In. Manchuria USSR Still Silent On Iranian Moves Washington, March 6 Secre tary of State Byrnes says Gen eral MacArthur cannot be held accountable tor the actions of Russian troops in Manchuria. jia.LLi.yiu iYiacAnnurs au thority, Byrnes says the supreme commander has no responsibil ity for the action of local Allied commanders outside Japan, Southern Korea and certain Pacific islands. That clearly ex cludes Manchuria ,and possibly Indonesia. According to the State De partment, any complaints on ac tions of local commanders in such areas as Manchuria will have to be dealt with by the governments concerned. Manchuria, March 6 Tonight, newsmen in the Manchurian city of Murkden say, from all reports, 100,000 to 200,000 Japa nese soldiers in Manchuria have been sent to Siberia to work at a new Russian industrial city. Russian authorities have refused to comment on the reports. In Iran, Red Army troops have stopped Iranian forces moving in to reoccupy three zones which the Russian prom ised to evacuate. An Iranian of ficer says his troops were halted by a Red Army officer who told him: "This is the boundary, you cannot go any further." . Although both Britain and the United States have protested Russia's actions in Iran, British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin tonight says he, has not yet re ceived a reply from Moscow. In response to questions, Bevin said too, just as Byrnes did earlier this week, thatjhe knows of no agreement which would author ize Russia to take industrial equipment from Manchuria. Churchill Plan May Weaken UNO Washington, March 6 The British government has made no official comment on Winston Churchill's . speech yesterday. But it's believed the Labor gov ernment approved most of the speech since Bevin himself fre quently has -protested the un certainty of Russian foreign policy. However, on this side of the Atlantic, congressional reaction to Churchill's address has been cool. Most congressmen say an Anglo-American alliance outside the UNO such as Churchill pro poses would weaken the United Nations and might lead to an other war. -n t -ii . , Txr i UllUiUllil Jo C1UUUIC LU IT OOil- ington tonight from Columbus, Ohio, aboard a special presiden tial train.

Iff -THE ONLY COLLEGE DAILY IN THE SOUTHEAST- CHAPEL HILL, N. C, t Coed Senate Votes Against Physical Ed By Mary Hill Gaston Heated discussions concerning fhysical education for senior romen and general 2 o'clock dance permission, both involv ing roll call votes, sparked Tues day night's meeting of the Coed Senate. A recommendation to the ad ministration that physical edu cation for senior women be dis pensed with passed by a 12-8 vote. Reason behind the request is that physical ed takes too much of the time of the seniors, who usually carry their heaviest academic load their last year. It was pointed out that almost all girls' schools require only two and rarely more than three years of J physical education and that three years of the subject seemed suffi cient. Arguments against the measure centered on the benefits of the exercise and on the fact that the woman's gym is staffed to take care of all coeds. Late Permission Defeated The Senate voted down 13-9 a recommendation to the Inter dorm Council that 2 o'clock per mission be granted to all coeds on the nights it is allowed those at tending big campus dances. Con troversy grew concerning the point that permission for only those attending the dances showed discrimination against other coeds, but Speaker Lib Schofield left the chair and pointed out that the reason for extending permission originally had been to give coeds time to See SENATE Page k Coeds Do What Japs Couldn 't; Conquer Marines In 3 Day Tour of Carolina Bases By Olive Anne Burns After the long trip to Lejeune, Wednesday morning, we went first to the camp theatre, which was of modern ' architecture rounded front with masks of the drama set in the red brick on each side of the door. The cap tain who greeted us was the spit tin' image of John Wayne. (Ed. He didn't spit) If it ever gets back to the boys we date in Chapel Hill that in 30 minutes we went from theatre to barracks, showered, powder ed, pressed evening gowns, and dressed for dinner, they will never sit in the parlors and wait for us again. Between the rush and the rain, though, we didn't look too well. The rain was horribly wet. Our slippers came unglued, and 15 girls lost their voices. Even the lady marines were sorry for us" as one by one we put a towel oyer our heads, pulled up our skirts and flew to the busses which took us to "chow." The concert went over in a big way, with enough whistles, howl THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1946 Political Miscue Throws Elections Into New Quandary In a last-minute report to the Daily Tar Heel, Walt Brinkley, chairman of campus elections, announced that Bob by Stockton, unopposed candi date for Secretary-Treasurer of the student body, had vio lated a clause of the elections bill which made it impossible for the committee to announce the outcome of yesterday's 150-balIot election. Brinkley said that Stockton had failed to turn in a report of campaign expenses by the, 7:30 deadline as set forth in the elections bill. Maximum penalty for this breach of po litical etiquette can be dis qualification from office. The committee has called an emer gency meeting for today and will decide the case and as sess a penalty before an nouncing the new campus of ficer. March Grads Given Plans Prexy Hood Nays Formal Graduation There will be no formal com mencement program held for those students graduating at the end of the present term,, accord ing to Archie Hood, president of the March class. This state ment was made to the Tar Heel in answer to numerous questions by members of the class in re gard to the graduation plans. The decision not to hold a graduation at this time was made in accordance with a gen eral policy of the University to return to a peacetime routine as soon as possible. This means that the University will hold one big graduation exercise each year at the end of the spring quarter in which all students who have completed work for their degrees at anytime during the previous school year will be invited to participate. ing, and applause to go around. We sang at 1800 (6 o'clock) , the concert sandwiched in between supper and the big Lee Castle dance which lasted from 2000 to 2400. The boys responded to every thing when Gwen Hughes sang "Picture me on your knee" they did, and during Dottie Bennett's solo on "The Man I Love" a big mouthed fellow on the front row punched his neighbor and insis ted, "That's me!" At Cherry Point they fell in love with Tee ny Thomas. Tip Summers and Pat Anderson did all right too. At the dance Margaret Ann Speas had her net skirt torn off, and when it was over I found the soles of my shoes cracked and coming to pieces. I had to borrow everybody's old chewing gum to stick them back together. We must have been very lady like. Mr. Young had a letter from the man in charge at Lejeune saying we were a lovely group of young peopje and that we had certainly entered into the party (whatever that means). UNITED PRESS 'In Old Vienna9 Plays . Here Musical in Memorial Hall Brings Gay Operatic Airs of Old Vienna By Jo Pugh The Student Entertainment Committee presents its second bill for the winter term tonight when Charles L. Wagner's "A Night in Old Vienna" is produced in Memorial Hall at 8:30 p. m. 3 Waerner's attenmt to recantur Faculty Urges Modification Of Hell Week , Council Examines Initiation Details s Members of the Interfratern ity Council and the faculty com mittee on fraternities discussed the problem of Hell Week or in formal initiation at a joint meet ing Monday night. Faculty views stemmed from criticism of other schools and a few specific cases here. The com mittee declared that it was not opposed to informal initiation as long as it was limited to week ends and not against ideas fundamentally constructive in nature. However, committee members are opposed to a few cases which have developed here. They urged fraternities to modify the general Hell Week program. . Resolution Passed In response the council passed a resolution recommending that the chairman of IFC appoint a special committee from the coun cil whose job would be to investi gate reported cases in much more -detail than the council could. The appointed committee would then report such cases to the IFC and make recommenda tions as to their treatment. Pete Pully, secretary of IFC and speaking for the council, said that such an investigation would be welcomed and that in formal rushing here is prob ably not as bad as individual cases indicate. See FACULTY Page U The chow was excellent. I kept wondering what was left out, un til I realized it was the cash reg ister. Speaking of cash registers, they clanged like fire bells when we raided the P-X. We have all of Lejeune's Lux and Ivory flakes and Kleenex, and all Hershey and Heath bars from Cherry Point. Lipstick was 30 cents cheaper than here. One of the bus drivers had said we could get life-time Sheaffers for $4.50, but that wasn't true. At Kinston Maude Baner Foy sang for the home folks. Four children said they liked Eduardo Bello's Cuban music best, "espe cially that one where it feels like your heart is beating outside." ("Taboo") Ed is a senior here. One of the glee clubbers exclaim ed after the first night, "You mean we've got a . specialty like him at Carolina and aren't using him!"
