Reds Begin D rive
To Flank UN Forces
285,000 Communist Force Builds Up
For Expected New Great Offensive
TOKYO, Friday, Jan. 12 (Twenty thousand North
Korean Reds began a flanking move against U. S. Second
,n;iSIon troPs holding grimly to a wedge-shaped sector
of the front in central Korea Thursday.
The main force of some 285,000 Chinese arid North Korean
Communists pressing the U. S. :
Eighth Army on the western front I
continued its btiiid-up and slow
shift southward lor an expected
great new offensive.
The .Red thrust paralleling the
flunk ot the becond Division was
reported in a heavily censored,
delayed clispatcn iroin , Associa
ted .Press Correspondent William
C. Barnard witn the becond Di
vision. The dispatch made vno mention
of any contact between tlie bec
ond Division and the southbound
Keds.
It said the Red force slipped
down from tlie north and east
of Wonju and was composed of
the Nortn Korean Sixth and Tenth
Divisions.
The flanking move apparently
was aimed at trapping the entire
Second Division by driving
through the rail junction of Che
chon, 21 miles southeast of Won
ju, and striking southward for
Chungju. Chung ju is only 90
miles north of Taegu on the main
highway and rail route leading to
the southeast corner of the Ko
rean peninsula, i
Censorship prevented further
details on location of the Reds.
Eighth Army censors at mid
night Thursday also clamped the
lid on any further reference to
the Second Division's stand near
Wonju. .
Barnard said the Second Divi
sion, bolstered by French and
Dutch battalions, was stubbornly
holding ground one and one-half
miles south of Wonju Thursday
night. It was filed ,at 10 p.m.
Thursday (8 a.m. EST) but was
not received in Tokyo until early
Friday morning.
Wonju is a key rail and high
way center 45 miles south of the
3oth Parallel of South Korea
and 55 miles southeast of fallen
Seoul.
An American Second Division
company pushed, into the aban
doned town from the southeast
Wednesday, found the place emp
ty, and voluntarily withrew
southward Wednesday night to
join the main column of the Sec
ond Division.
After three days of fighting
south of Wonju, an estimated
2,100 enemy dead and wounded
littered the freshly fallen foot
deep snow.
The veteran Second had driven
a" four-mile bulge in Red lines
south of Wonju in a counter-attack
designed to interrupt the
timetable of an expected Com
munist offensive through, the
mountains of central Korea.
Barnard said only small arms
fire was reported in the immedi
ate vicinity of Wonju Thursday.
Jut five miles to the southeast a
lied force of 400 to 800 men tried
ah encircling move and lost near
ly half its strength in dead and
wounded."
A Second Division spokesman
said Allied artillery fire had "tak
en "some of the edge" off the
Red front iri the main battle area
:outh of Wonju. -

Treasurer Gives
Report On 51-52
Before Committee
By Don Maynard
Secretary-Treasurer Banks Tal

ed to the Budget Cdmmittee that
Tarnation magazine and the Stu

series be cut out of $he 1951
52 budget.
Included in the steps Talley
thought might be necessary to
meet - the emergency brought
about by the anticipated drop in
enrollment next year were dis
continuance of the wire services
of The Daily Tar Heel, cut-down
on the size of the 1952 Yackety
Yack and elimination of the Car
olina Forum. He was expected to
present these views to the Leg
islature last night.
The' proposals are naturally
tempered, Talley said yesterday,
by contract committments of the
organizations affected. He recom
mended that the cuts be incorp
erat'ed in a ' sliding scale" budget
for next year.
This plan would approximate
expenditures at their very lowest
and vary with the actual income,
either allowing organizations
more money or less, depending on
enrollment, he said.
It appeared fairly certain, how
ever, that organizations . will be
allowed to proceed on their cur
rent allocations until the end of
this fiscal year. The 15 per cent
drop in income estimated last fall
still "holds good," barring a dras
tic drop in enrollment, until June,
Talley stated.

man explains, "What you need
foil an issue is something that
everybody can get excited about
and yet something that does not
really make any difference."
But Wintergreen's troubles do
not end with his election. He falls
in love with the pretty and de

Here's a typical day's work by

Lt. Col. James W. Edwards, of
Dallas, Tex., gave last minute in
structions to his officers.
Then the dough foots, like their
fathers in the Argonne Forest and
their brothers at the Battle of the
Bulge, , shouldered their weapons,
snapped on their ammo belts and
strung grenades to their button
holes. They started down the -road 'of
ankle-deep mud towards enemy

fiscal year unless, as Talley
commented, enrollment takes . a
drastic downward turn.
The Legislature, meeting for its
10th half-year term since the
1946 Constitution set up the pres
ent system - of student govern
ment, also heard President John
Sanders deliver an unexciting
"State, of the Campus" address
and elected some new officers for
the year.
Sanders pointed out to the law
making body that the Honor Sys
tem "has never recovered from
the effect of having a foreign
element (V-12 and Pre-Flight
units) brought into it during
World War II. That element was
supposed to be operating under
the System, but never did fully."
The president recommended
that similar military and naval
units coming on the campus in
the future be excluded from the
regular student government ma
chinery. Tlie solons elected UP Legisla
tor Sheldon Jay Plager, who has
been in the Legislature since the
fall of 1948 to set a record for
length of term, to tho job of
speaker pro tempore of the body.
Plager defeated SP nominee Jim
Lamm by 21 to 17.
For the powerful Ways and
Means Committee , Jack Owen
(UP) was elected over Lamm
by a vote of 20 to 18.
Swept into office by acclama
tion were Harry Horton as par
liamentarian, Peggy Stewart as
clerk, Sol Cherry as sergeant-at-arms,
Ben James as Finance
Committee chairman, Alan Tate
as Rules Committee chairman,
Faye Massengill as Coed Affairs

Dwiggins as Elections Committee
chairman. -
Marching infantry is not always
the silent crew one might expect
and there was talk of the enemy,
worrfen, weather, women, mail,
women and the blankety-blank
army.
After six miles of marching in
the mudt the officers up front
signaled for caution and the GI's
became acutely alert. (
One company went on ahead
and the others took the flanks.
Scouts and patrols pushed on in
the vanguard. Headquarters and
Signal Corps Intelligence and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (UP)
Defense Department officials
announced today that 200,000
college students, now deferred,
will be drafted beginning in
June.
They said that to date a total
of 570,000 students have been de
ferred Officials also warned today
they will be forced to draft hus
bands and fathers and work
"grave injustices" on many single
registrants in the next few
months unless Congress passes
an 18-year-old draft.
They said plans to expand the
Armed Forces to 3,200,000 men
by June 30 and provide 50,000
replacements for Korean battle
casualties will compel them to
reach "almost the bottom" of the
manpower barrel.

57 Already Gone
In Winter Quarter
The war was still hitting hard at the University yesterday,
as Central Records Director Edwin S. Lanier reported that
57 students had dropped out of the University since the be
ginning of the winter quarter.
"A number of other students have picked up withdrawal
forms at Central Records,"Lanier
continued, "but we have no way j
of knowing exactily how many
forms are out, or how many will
be completely signed and re
turned." All withdrawal forms require a
number of signatures from deans,
faculty advisers, etc.
Lanier urged all students con
sidering dropping" out of school
for any reason to fill out official
forms and not just "leave school."

was learned from an informed

The source stated that since no
immediate settlement of the

the non-union men would be hir
ed to speed completion of the
structure that is being built near
the Monogram Club.
Same Mud -
Climbing to a ridge, an enemy
observation post was spotted two
hills away. All movement ceased
until a patrol was sent to flank
it. Then a sergeant waved his
arm and the men moved forward.
A grenade exploded and there
was a burst of automatic weap
ons fire. The observation post
was no more. From another di
rection, an enemy machinegun
rattled. The fire was returned
and -soon the enemy machinegun
was silent.
' Over another hill a seemingly
deserted, village lay in a valley.
A sharp-eyed infantryman de
tected the movement of a lone
sentry and fired at him.
The village became alive as
surprised and sleepy North Ko
reans ran from the native huts,
many of them only half -dressed.

President Truman said today
he will sent U.S. troops anywhere
in the world necessary to fulfill
this country's obligations, but
promised to consult Congress be
fore dispatching more American
boys to Europe.
He told news conference the
administration definitely plans to

consider it necessary to get Con
gressional permission to do so.

down to the rescue..
Edwards ordered a withdrawal
to keep his men from being
flanked and called for mortars,
artillery and air strikes. The mor
tars and artillery pounded away
at the village and F-80 Shooting
Stars and F-51 Mustangs roared
up from the south to work over
the village with strafing runs.
Then the withdrawal began, one

Mrs. Rosenberg said that un
der the present 19-through-25
draft law, local boards "very
likely" will, exhaust their lists by
the end of June since they can
take only single youths who are
not veterans.
Furthermore, she said, even
these men will suffer grave in

would not be able to give induc

and business affairs.
She told the Committee that
unless Congress authorizes a draft
of 18-year-olds, Selective Ser
vice will have to "squeeze" the
present 19-through-25 groups and
take many men now deferred
because they have dependents or
are going to school.

Honor Council
Rules On Nine
This Quarter
Diciplinary Action
Taken In 4 Cases
Others Go Cleared
Nine students have appeared
before the Men's Council lur
Honor Code violations since the
beginning of the winter quarter,
Clerk Buddy Vaden said yester
day. Three of the students were sus
pended from .the University by
the Council. One, however, ap
pealed to the Student Council
and the higher court reversed
the decision of the Men's Coun
cil. In other action, two students
were exonerated from charges of
Honor Code violations, two were
put on probation for Honor Code
violations, and two students were
reinstated after being suspended
from the University, both on
Honor Code violations.
In the case involving the two
suspended men, they had been
reported to the Council by an
other student who accused them
of repeatedly cheating in a Math
R course. "One student admitted
his guilt and the other admitted
that he had placed his examina
tion papers in a position that
would enable the other to get
information from it.
The two students who were
pat on probation for an indefi
nite period for an Honor Code
violation were convicted of cheat
ing on a Math 7 course. The .stu
dents had worked together on a
portion of the final examination
that was to be done outside o
class.
Their instructor had given them
permission to uee any class note:,
and any books they might choose.
The two students studied together
and their papers appeared simi
lar in several places. But the
Council felt that although thy
had committed a violation, the
stipulations set by tlie instructor
were not quite clear.
It was not proven that the stu
dents had actually collaborated
on the problems involved.
One student, who turned him
self in to the Council for elicit
ing on a political science tec t,
was reinstated after being sus
pended from the University Ja:-.t

himself in was taken into con
