Ray Anthony Band
Due Here Feb. 9-1 0
Will Play For 2 Winter German Hops,
Friday Afternoon Concert In Memorial
The German Club yesterday announced the signing of
Ray Anthony and his orchestra for the mid-winter dance
set here Feb. 9 and 10. Anthony has been signed for a dance
on Friday night, a concert Saturday afternoon, and a dance
again Saturday night.
Anthony, a former trumpeter with the fabulous band of
the late Glenn Miller, plays very
much on the old Miller style. The
versatility of the two band lead
ers is similiar but Anthony goes
in for solos more than did his
former teacher.
After Miller broke up his band
in 1942, Anthony served a four
year hitch in the Navy. On being
discharged, he surrounded him
self with young musicians which
now form the nucleus of his increasingly-popular
band.
The "Young Man With The
Horn" has been a great success
in the last four years with re
cordings of "Darktown Strutters
Ball," "Way Down Yonder In
New Orleans," "I'll See You In
My Dreams," and others paving
the way for his success.
Along with his band, Anthony
will bring featured vocalists Bet
ty Holliday and Ronnie Deau
ville, and his quintet known as
the Skyliners. Top performers
among his band members are
saxophonist Billy Usselton, and
trumpet and trombone ace Eddie
Butterfield.

The three convicts, called

SEOUL, Thursday, Jan. 4
Allied troops, today were
abandoning flaming Seoul
ahead of assauult waves of the
Red Chinese army which
swept to the outskirts of the
old Korean capital.
The U. S. 8th Army gave the
order to quit the city yesterday
morning, but censorship was im
posed on the news until today.
Long columns of vehicles
jammed with soldiers moved
south over bridges across the
frozen Han River, as the sky
filled with smoke behind them
from fifes set by departing ref
ugees. A grave flanking threat arose
simultaneously 50 miles east of
Seoul. North Korean forces were
striking swiftly southward to
ward Allied lines of retreat in
central Korea.
Hard-riding enemy cavalry
was reported with this flanking
force. Whether they were the
fierce Mongolian cavalrymen or
simply North Koreans was not
indicated.
The question of the hour was:
would the powerful Chinese and
North Korean offensive sweep
the United Nations army entirely
out of Korea?
The storm of battle was ex
pected to break over the ancient
Korean capital of Seoul at any
hour. The city was paralyzed. It
waited for the conqueror for the
second time in six months.

Shaw Chorale Plans
Concert On Tuesday
The Student? Entertainment Committee Will : begin its.
1951 program with the Robert Shaw Chorale in Memorial
Hall at 8 o'clock on Tuesday.
The third SEC presentation of the 1950-51 season, the
program is sponsored by approp-
nations from the student block
fee, and as usual, students will
be admitted free upon presenta
tion of ID cards at the door. Af-!
ter 7:40, any remaining vacant
seats wil be sold to student wives,
faculty, and townspeople for $1
each.
Robert Shaw is described by
the New York Post as "master of
every nuance that can be coaxed
out of a chorus . . . probably the
most gifted conductor in evidence
today."
He will lead the chorale, which
is composed of 32 picked voices
augmented by a chamber music
ensemble, in a varied program
ranging from Bach to songs of the
American musical theater.
Shaw got his start in choral
conducting at Pomona College at
Claremont, Calif., where he led
the college glee club.
In Shaw's junior year, Fred
Waring came west to make a
movie, "Varsity Show," which was
filmed on the Pomona College
campus. The college glee club had
a small bit in the film. Waring
was so impressed that he, told
voung Shaw if he ever came to
NewYork a job would be wait
ing for him.
In 1938 Shaw took Waring at
his word and assumed direction
of the Waring glee club, which
soon became an outstanding
feature of the five-nights-weekly
Waring show. " ,
Besides his radio work, Shaw
trained choruses for Billy Rose's
Aquacades in New York and San
Francisco, and also trained chor
uses for Broadway show "Carmen
Jones," "Laughing Room Only"
and "The Seven Lively Arts."

New Year's Eve the Reds at

Both times they succeeded in

The roads south from the front
were jammed with refugees again

"Couches, chairs , lamps and
smoking stands are already in the
B Dorm social room," Assistant
Dean of Students Bill Friday said
yesterday, "and drapes, bridge
tables with matching chairs, mis
cellaneous tables, and the paint
ing of the room are on the way.
"We'll see how this one looks,"
Friday continued, "and then go
ahead, as money permits, with
the others."
Wadsworth said the rate , of
cancellation of dorm rooms has
been exceeding the rate of place
ment of students recently.
"Ten days ago," he explained
late yesterday, "I had 50 vacan
cies. Today I have 110 vacancies
to be filled."
Wadsworth said " Nash Hall,
which was in use as a barracks
for students during the fall, had
been closed, and all trail
ers behind Battle-Vance-Petti-grew

moved. The Housing Director said the
area behind BVP would be put
in shape so that its residents
could resume their pre-war prac
tice of using the space as a foot-ball-bascball-golf
practicing
field.
"We hope to clear out all the
trailers behind Swain Hall as
soon as possible," Wadsworth
added. He would not estimate a
date for the evacuation of those
trailer dwellers.
Meanwhile, students living in
private homes returned to school

Rent was decontrolled here by

ruling went into effect at mid
night Dec. 31.

capture by Chinese were signs in
Seoul reading "Welcome UN

Ambulances with wounded
drove past. Carefree children
played by the roadside.
Between Uijongbu and Seoul,
through a failure in radio equip

doughboys was strafed twice by
Allied aircraft. Casualties were
not known.
Just as I was about to leave a
regimental command post for the
trip back to Seoul, about 200 U. S.

One officer asked who these

Project Work
Union Men Want
$2.75 Per Hour;
$2.50 Old Rate
By Rolfe Neill
A three-week old strike of
bricklayers here, haggling
over a raise from $2.50 to $2.75
an hour, has completely halted
work on about $17,000,000
worth of University buildings
including the huge new dorm
which was scheduled to have been
opened next fall.
The only work now in progress
is on Manning Hall, one of the
three new Commerce buildings
being constructed behind Mem
orial Hall. J. S. Bennett, Direc
tor of Operations, yesterday ex
plained that the bricklaying on
this structure has been completed,
therefore work is continuing.
The hold-up on the other pro
jects, aside from the striking
brickmasons, comes from the fact
that all other trade union men
also are out in a "sympathy
strike'.'
A total of some 800 men have
been idled at eight projects here
and in Durham.
Prospects for settlement are
fluid, according to Claiborne S.
Woods, Sr., business agent for
Local No. 10 of the International
Bricklayers, Brickmasons, and
Plasterers Union.
In a telephone conversation
yesterday afternoon from Durham
with The Daily Tar Heel, 'Woods
said he was in Charlotte Tues
day trying to reach a settlement.
"There's nothing definite on a
settlement," he said. "Of course
it's got to be settled one way or
the other. Our men will not return
to work until it is settled."
The strikers, now getting $2.50
an hour, are asking a 25 cent an
hour increase. Contractors have
offered to grant half of the de
mand effective immediately on all
new construction, but effective
June 15 on all work contracted
prior to Dec. 15.
Work which has stopped on
major building projects include
the new Hospital, Commerce
buildings, Library addition, Den
tal school, and Law additions
as well as the million dollar
dormitory behind the Monogram
Club.

UMT Proposal
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3 (AP)
Final details of a universal
military service proposal were
being worked oui today by the
Defense Department.
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga.) of
the House Armed Services Com
mittee said he would introduce
the bill in Congress as soon
as it is received . from the
Pentagon.
Already he has set Jan. 18 as
the date for his committee to
start hearing on the measure.
The proposed bill is expected
to be a combination of draft,
training and service provisions.
The period of service, now 21
months, may be extended to 24
months or possibly 30.
