Delay Expected
For GI Checks
Bradley Explains
Application Rush
Washington, Oct. 5 (UP) Vet
erans attending school under the GI
Bill of Rights may have a delay of
a month or longer before they re
ceive their subsistence allowances.
The Veterans Administrator, Gen.
Omar Bradley, says it will be at
least November 10th before they re
ceive their subsiistence checks. He
explains that the agency is swamped
with applications and the necessary
processing will delay the mailing of
the checks.
Bradley also had a few words to
add to the controversy between him
self and former American Legion
Commander John Stelle over the on-
the-job training program. Stelle had
criticized the establishment of a ceilr
ing over on-the-job training pay
ments. At the recent Legion con
vention in San Francisco, Bradley
had defended the action. Today he
called the affair a "personal vendet
ta." Army Transport Nears
End of Lengthy Flight
GENEVA, Oct. 5 (UP) The
Superfortress Pacusan Dreamboat is
nearing the end of its- 10,000-mile
non-stop flight over the top of the
world. The plane was about an hour
ahead of schedule as it roared across
the snow-capped Alps of Switzerland
and Italy. Ahead of it lie the blue
waters of the Mediterranean and its
final destination Cairo. If the fuel
supply lasts, the B-29 that took off
from Honolulu yesterday may go 600
miles beyond the Egyptian capital.
But the way things look now, the
Dreamboat is expected to land at
Cairo around 1:50 a. m. tonight.

U MC Ask
Jayvees Squad
Nips Navy 'B'
Outfit, 38-13
. THOMPSON FIELD, Annapolis,
Md., Oct. 5 A deceptive University
of North Carolina Jayvee squad, paced
by the swifty jaunts of Floyd "Chunk"
Simmons, defeated an outclassed
Naval Academy "B" team, 38-13, here
this afternoon.
Carolina took the lead in the first
frame when Simmons ran 31 yards
to the Navy one-yard striper. He
scored on the next play to put the
Tar Heels in front. The try for the
extra point failed.
In the second period, Howard Hor
ton dashed across for Carolina from
the 12-yard line. Navy's initial marker
came in the second quarter when
Doris counted on an end run. The
half ended with the Tar Heels hold
ing a slight edge, 12-7.
Carolina's jet-powered offensive
smattered the Tars in the final two
stanzas as the Tar Heels amassed 26
points to Navy's six. A 22-yard toss
from Gregory to Cook added six more
for Carolina shortly after the open
ing of the final half. ; The southern
visitors tallied again on Purcell's end
run, but Navy scored again on a
quarterback sneak to put the count
at 24-13 as the third quarter ended.
Two line bucks handed the Tar
Heels a decisive margin in the final
period. Horton and Fleming counted
for the final scores to hand Carolina
the game, 38-13.

Circulation of DTH Risked
In Exposing Lena the Hyena
'-V- By SaW
So stupendously horrible that the editors of the Daily Tar Heel
debated for hours the advisability of exposing LeRoy Bannerman's
likeness of Lena the Hyena to the gaze. of the unsuspecting- public,
it was decided late yesterday to run her picture only if a telegram
were sent to Dogpatch warning Mam- &
my Yokum of her impending peril.
Earlier in the day there was an
attempt by University physicians to
ban publication of Lena's picture un
til such-time as the new medical
school is completed. t
A hurried call, however, to both
Duke and Wake Forest's Medical
Schools revealed that enough physi
cians could be rushed to Chapel Hill
to handle the thousands of expected
casualties. In addition authorities at
Fort Bragg' agreed to rush a bat
talion of air-borne medics to the aid
of this beleaguered hamlet.
Decided It Was Safe
Encouraged by the magnificent co
operation of the state medical pro
fession the editors decided it was
safe to run the accompanying en
graving of LeRoy Bannerman's
drawing. Through the use of a top
secret Army gadget designed to shield
the eyes against the flash of atomic
bombs newsmen were able to handle
the revolting Lena with a minimum
of casualties. Since ordinarystudents
are not so privileged a special bulle
tin will be put out by South Building
with directions on how to proceed to
the nearest aid stations.
All students are warned that any
person exhibiting such symptoms as

After a long stretch of service in

The Rabbi's arrival coincides with
the tenth anniversary of the Hillel
Foundations, a national organization

among Jewish students in American
universities.
While in service, Rabbi Strumpf
was awarded a Presidential unit cita
tion with three oak leaf clusters and
was twice officially commended. He
participated in the campaigns of
Guadalcanal, New Guinea, Admiralty
Islands, Morotai, Leyte, Luzon, Oki
nawa, and served for four months in
Japan with the air forces, being sep
arated from the army last fall.
A native of New York, Rabbi
Strumpf is a graduate of the City

training was received 'at the Jewish
Theological Seminary in New York
and the Jewish Institute of Religion
where he received an M.A. degree in
Hebrew Literature and was ordained
Rabbi by Rabbi Stephan S. Wise.
This afternoon Rabbi Strumpf and
the new students will be honored at

requested structures and equipment
as "urgent."
Largest items among those de
scribed as an absolute necessity were:
Extension to the library, $1,425,
000; construction of a new commerce
department building, $1,162,500;
utilities expansion, $1,835,000; con
struction of four new dormitories
comprising 500 rooms, $2,000,000;
educational training and high school
building, $250,000; new language
class building, $382,500; an addition
to Lenoir dining hall, $234,000; shop
building and garage, $210,000; and
addition and alteration of medical
building, $200,000.
Medical School Expansion
Recalling the recent expansion of
the two-year medical school to a full
four years, Chancellor Robert B.
House, representing the University,
pointed out that although the budget
contains an item of $200,000 for ad
ditions and alterations to the medical
building, "all other items connected
with expansion of the medical school
are hospital items which should come
before you (Advisory Budget Com
mission) in your later hearing on the
total integrated plant of hospitals
and medical care."
The University is also seeking an
operating budget of $1,897,286 for
1947-48 and $1,817,634 for 1948-49.
This constitutes an increase of ap
proximately $707,000 annually due
for the most part to a recommended
20 per cent increase in professors'
salaries.
$21,000,000 Necessary Improvements
Representatives of State College,
Woman's College,' and Carolina told
the Commission that improvements
costing over $21,000,000 are absolute
ly necessary if the schools are to ex
pand sufficiently to care for current
and anticipated increases in enroll
ment.
- State College has asked for im
provements totalling nearly $8,000,
000, while Woman's College sought
around $9,000,000 for the biennium.
Among the speakers appearing be
fore the Advisory Budget Commis
sion was Dr. Frank P. Graham,
President of the Greater University,
who pointed out the State's obliga
tion to provide the best in educa
tional facilities for its youth.
