C. 1-28.-47 EDITORIAL: Success Story One Extra Day Key to Expansion f Vf NEWS: UXC Eleven Favored 153rd Convocation OPA Names Rent Head TT" -THE ONLY COLLEGE DAILY IN THE SOUTHEAST- VOLUME LV United Press CHAPEL HILL, N. C SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1946 NUMBER 35 MWS BRIEFS Army to Grant Draft Holiday Till New Year Year's Volunteers Near Million Mark Washington, Oct. 11 (UP) In a' surprise move tonight, the War Department ordered all Selective Ser vice inductions halted for the rest of 1946, beginning October 15th. Thus 35,000 men earmarked for the draft between now and the end of De cember can put thoughts of army life away, temporarily at least. The suspension was ordered because of an unexpectedly high rate of Army enlistments, a rate the War Depart ment expects to be maintained for the rest of the year. In the last year, more than 992,000 men have enlisted in the regular army and the War Department figures the number will top the million mark by November first. Big Powers Overruled On Greek Border Case Paris, Oct. 11 (UP) The Peace Conference has acted contrary to Big Four recommendations in refusing to accept an article in the Bulgarian peace treaty. The article proposed by the Big Four and approved by the Bulgarian commission would deny Greece all chance of getting frontier changes on her Bulgarian border. No nation voted against the article, and nine voted for it. But since the 12 ab stentions count as votes, the disputed clause failed to gain even a simple majority of the 21 nations. The ef fect of the action is to send the treaty back to the Big Four without any recommendation on Bulgarian fron tiers This leayes the issue in great doubt since Britain one of the na tions abstaining has a veto in the 'Council of Foreign Ministers. Swedish Vessel Afire In Middle of Atlantic Boston, Oct. 11 (UP) Three pas sengers are reported dead and several injured tonight in a fire aboard a Swedish freighter in the mid-Atlantic. At least two vessels are steaming through wind-lashed seas to the aid of the 5900-ton freighters, the Kris tina Thorden, en route from Goteborg, Sweden, to Boston with some 12 pas sengers and a crew of almost 30. The nature of the fire is not known, but the freighter is carrying a cargo of high ly combustible cellulose and steel. Japanese Diet Limits Size of Land Holding Tokyo, Oct. 11 (UP) A new law in Japan is expected to put some five million acres of land into the hands of three and one-half million Japanese tenant farmers. General MacArthur calls the sweeping agriculture reform bill one of the most important mile stones reached by Japan in the cre ation of its new democracy. The law, which was approved today by the Japanese Diet, bans absentee land holdings, restricts resident non-farming owners' holdings to two and a half acres and limits farming owners to seven and a half acres. Stilwell Said Weaker From Major Operation San Francisco, Oct. 11 (UP) Gen. Joseph Stilwell is reported weak er at Letterman general hospital, where he is suffering from the after effects of a major abdominal opera tion; Hospital authorities say that the commander of the Sixth army spent a fair night, but his condition continues critical. Argentine Meat Import 'Shocking,' Says Taft Cincinnati, Oct. ll-(UP)-Re-publican Senator Robert Taft of Ohio says the proposal to import meat from Argentina is both "shocking and silly. He declares the nation's supply of beef on the hoof was never greater and that any importation plan would be a temporary plan to tide the Democrats over until after the election. Carolina In Kenan Tar Heels Rate As Favorites. Old Liners Empjoy Tricky 'T' Setup By Irwin Smallwood The coaching prowess of two of America-s finest masters of gridironics will be put to a test here in Kenan stadium this aft ernoon . at 2 :30 o'clock when Carolina enters the battle of the "TV against the Old Liners of Maryland. It will be the single wing football machine of Carl Snavely matched with charges of the pioneer "T" formation coach, Clark Shaugh nessey. Carolina, whose Tar Heels showed so much improvement and promise in their victory over Miami university in the Orange Bowl last Friday night, rules a slight favorite in the Southern conference encounter. However, Mary land, rebounding from a humiliating defeat, will be trickyfrom the vaunt ed "T" formation and is given a chance tc make it an interesting game indeed. Leading the Tar Heels into bat tle will be the Jet Job Carolina Choo Choo Charlie Justice the fourth highest ground gainer in the nation after the first two weeks of the sea- son. All eyes will be focused on the scampering tailback from the Land of The Sky, for fans are wondering whether he will be able to maintain his sensational running pace. Rodgers Ready Maryland will pit superb linemen against the Tar Heel offensive plays, and fullback Hosea Rodgers, star, from 1943, is expected to about come into his own and prove most valuable in splitting open gaps in the Old Liner forward wall. Rodgers, who teamed with Jack Fitch to upset Penn three years ago, has been slowed up since before the opening game with an ail ing ankle but is about back in his old condition. Even against Miami last week he proved powerful, Coach Jack Harding of Miami saying after the game "that boy Rodgers almost ruined our line." Little Don Hartig, who played a fine quarterback game against Miami, will be in the starting lineup with his hand in a cast, and his signal calling and blocking will help round out the Carolina offensive punch along with B. K. Grow at wingback. . Maryland .Stars The big three for Maryland will be Tommy Mont and Reds Wright, backs, and Emil Fritz, guard. Mont reputedly is of All-America quality and is a top notch passer, kicker and ball handler from his spot under center in the "T" formation. Wright is a gigantic full back and has left quite large gaps in opposition lines with his smashing drives. Fritz, who played under Coach Paul Bryant last year at Maryland, is also supposed to be a candidate for See FOOTBALL, Page 3 Temporary Stands To Seat Students The Athletic association is mak ing an effort to locate more stud ents near the center of the field for the Maryland game today by plac ing them in portable grandstands above the concrete, Vernon Crook, head of ticket sales for the CAA, announced yesterday. Sections 14, 15, 16, and 17 will contain temporary stands, assuring all students of a centrally-located seat, Crook said. Since it takes approximately one hour for all students to pass through the" gates, an effort should be made to arrive at the game early. The student gates will open at 12:45 and the kick-off is sched uled for 2:30. Both identification cards and pass books will be required at the stud ent gates and all students are re quested to cooperate in occupying the seats assigned to them in order to avoid the numerous unpleasant arguments witnessed at the VPI game.

Mayor Madry Bans Sunday Beer Sales The Board of Aldermen's deadlock over the sale of beer on Sundays was broken at this week's meeting by Mayor Robert W. Madry, University News bureau head, who voted for the prohibition ordinance at its second reading. The ban will become ef fective if the ordinance is approved on its third reading at the next board meeting. ''Although I reserve the right to change my vote at the final reading, said Madry, "I voted in favor of ban ning the sale of beer in Chapel Hill on Sundays because an informal survey indicated to me that a majority of our citizens favor the proposed ban." 'Resort for Beer Seekers' Despite the fact that beer is sold in only three establishments in town on Sundays, the mayor indicated, the fact that the same law is in effect throughout Orange county and in Durham might make Chapel Hill "a resort for beer seekers." Madry declared that if he finds that "the law is . unenforceable or that it is not supported by a "majority of our citizens," he would not hesitate to vote for repealing the ordinance. It is possible that other aldermen may shift their stands on the ordi nance before final action at the next meeting. day I it in" mi Tftti iiit i i imhi rirrtrtfmniHii an in r rrrm r t m-nri-iihir fi ii trr r rrttfit w if il President Declares University Budget Increase Necessary Graham Delivers Convocation Address Before 153rd University Day Crowd As President Frank Graham delivered the principal address of the 153rd anniversary celebration yesterday before an over-flow crowd in Memorial Hall, he emphasized that the budget presented for the consolidated university is "really a call for the University to be in the front lines of a new forward march of mankind."
