see days of honor once more.
At last fall's United Nations ceremonies the need for a
campus flagpole was emphasized
by R. J. Hobbs of the UNC Build
ing - and Grounds Committee.
Later it was recalled that the
Navy Pre-Flight School had used
two flagpoles. The tallest of these
was taken from storage, scraped
and painted, and is at present
lying near its ultimate place of
erection on the campus.
The 67-foot steel pole will be
raised soon in the center of the
campus. According to J. S. Ben
nett, University Operation's Di
rector, the flagpole will be equi
distant from South Building and
the Library, and Manning Hall
and the new Commerce buildings.
A flag will be raised on the
new pole only on special oc
casions, such as national holi
days, North Carolina day, or days
specially observed, as was United
Nations day, a University official
said last night. )
The expense involved in keep
ing new flags flying and daily
raising and lowering of the flag
prohibit the pole's use except on
special occasions, the spokesman
added.
The flagpole will be set in a
hole six feet deep and two inches
wider in diameter than the pole.

Truman Rejects Idea
Of Bombing Red China
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 (ZD
President Truman today reject
tcd any idea of bombing Red
China at this stage of the Korean
War crisis.
The President thus threw cold
water on congressional demands
that American bombers, now
forbidden to strike at Chinese
bases jn Manchuria, be permitted
to carry the war into enemy ter
ritory. Mr. Truman told his news con
ference that U. S. planes will
not bomb China without asking
United Nations sanction. And he
said he is not considering any
such request for U.N. permission.
On Capitol Hill, Senator Bridg
es (R-NH) demanded even more
drastic measures than bombing.
He said the United States should
either open a "second front" by
supporting a Chinese Nationalist
invasion of the Red China main
land, or "immediately withdraw
our forces from Korea."

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek,
are now bottled up on the island

Thousands Die
As Reds Stage
Internal Purge
Mass Executions,
Military Buildup,
Speed War Effort
HONG KONG, Jan. 4 W-r
Red China was reported today in
the midst of a vast internal purge
of dissidents, matching in intensi
ty the speed with which the
Communists are expanding their
war machine.
One reliable press report said
"thousands" have been executed
in the past two months, while
thousands .of others have been
subjected -to the rigors of Vr.e
education" camps.
At the same time Peiping was
said to have ordered an ominous
speed-up in military construc
tion projects in South. China
around Canton. A confirmed re
port said crack Chinese Comfnu
nist Third Field Army troops
have been moving "monotonous
ly" into Canton for two weeks,
and are marking time there for
"further instructions."
' Much of all this is taking place
perilously close to the British
colony of Hong Kong.
The "reeducation" camps have
been springing up throughout Red
China, but chiefly in the always
dissident southern area. Reasons
for the sudden .purge, while not
wholly clear,' "could well be
these:
1. Pro-Nationalist guerrilla ac
tivity may have grown top strong
for the Communists to handle
except by the most stringent
measures; ,
2. Peiping, perhaps having cbn
eluded that war is inevitable, may
be "putting away" all. elements
which could disrupt the rigid
internal controls the Reds would
have to exert in wartime. .
The English language news
paper. Hong Kong Standard said
it had information from Red
China that the recent- execution
of thousands was part of a na
tionwide "anti-infiltration and
anti-espionage" campaign. ,
"Those who lost their lives,''
the newspaper., said, ."included
genuine Nationalist agents as
well as former Nationalist civit
and military personnel who had
defected to the Communists."

.-The Army seemed to be get

with the bulk going to the Navy,

The concensus among- Carolina
males of eligible draft age seems
at present to be that if they want
a choice of services, their only
hope is . to enlist before being
drafted. A few feel that their
academic , grades do not warrant
a deferment and are afraid of
being takcnfrom school anyway.

No Draft
Says Rep.
WASHINGTON, Jan 4 (AP) Veterans will not be draft
ed, according to an announcement made today by Chairman
Vinson (D-Ga.) of the House Armed Services Committee.
Vinson also reported that the Defense Department is
preparing to ask Congress to step
up the period of service for
draftees from 21 to 27 months.
He said that military leaders
are considering a request to raise
the age limit for inductees, with
the new maximum applying to
single men and childless married
men.
But Vinson declared there will
be no draft of veterans whose
past service now protects them
from induction. Apparently
speaking for his committee, he
told reporters:
"We have told the Defense De
partment that veterans are not
to be drafted."
Another possibility under study
by the military planners is a
'change in the law so as to per
mit 18-year-olds to be called up
for active duty. The present Se
lective Service Act permits the
induction of men from 19 through
25. AH males are required to
register with their local boards
upon reaching 18, but are not
subject to the draft until their
19th birthdays.
Vinson said he expects the
Pentagon to send up within a few
days its draft of an overall uni
versal military service bill, in
cluding the proposed increase in
the time inductees must serve.
He said it is "pretty well settle
ed" that the military . will seek'
the 27 month's service limit. He
explained that this would be de
signed to assure 24 months of
actual service from each drafteel
The other three months would
cover such items as processing
the men and providing for their
terminal leave.
Vinson is insisting that the De
fense Department make a com
plete review of the present draft
deferment policy, including stays
given students, men with . de-
pendents, and "hardship" cases,
