Umstead, Jr., of Chapel Hill, representative from Orange Coun ty to the State Legislature, today introduced a bill that would call for the building of a $750,000 psychiatric hospital unit at the University of North Carolina. This would enable the Univer sity Medical School to train psy chiatrists. , Umstead also introduced a bill that calls for more doctors for the state's mental institutions. The second bill also provides for increasing the pay of vthe doc tors that they now have. It would appropriate $200,000 to the hos pital's Board of Controls and would provide for an intern-training program in the hospitals. Umstead long has-been singled out for his determined efforts to 199 Vets For Gl Bill Fraud NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (UP) A Federal Grand Jury today indicted 199 veterans and five other persons on charges they conspired to defraud the government of nearly $300,000 for training at a school of beauty culture. The United State's attorney's office said it was the biggest mass indictment ever returned in New York City and possibly the biggest in the nation's history. Assistant U. S. Attorney Louis I. Kaplan, who investigated the case, said the conspiracy extended over a period of nearly two years from September, 1948, to-July, 1950. He charged that 90 per cent of the veterans never attended the beauty school at all. Some of them didn't even know where it was, he said. Federal Judge Henry W. God dard, accepting the indictment, said: "I trust that the filing of this indictment will be notice to the rest of the country that the gov ernment will not tolerate fraud perpetrated upon it by those seeking to take advantage of the liberal provisions of the G.I. Bill of Rights." Kaplan said each of the vet erans was paid between $800 and $1,200 by the Veterans Adminis tration as subsistence money to defray expenses while they at tended the school. He charged they paid school officials between $10 and $30 a month to credit them with attend ing classes regularly so that they could continue to draw the sub-, sistence allowances. In addition to the veterans, five officers and employees of the Garford Laboratories, Inc., oper ators of the Grow System beauty schools, were indicted. Kaplan said the corporation got approximately $66,000 for tuition and supplies allegedly furnished the veteran students. Ora W. Grow, 47, one of the owners of the business, was put under $15, 000 bail early last month, Kaplan said, but the government kept its investigation secret until today. Facts On Leap Year New Planetarium Show i Tells Story Of Calendar If you're superstitious about even numbers, leap year, the van ities of ancient kings, and other strange phenomena about calen dars, a trip to the Morehead Plan etarium may straighten you out about these matters. ' The history of the calendar and facts on timekeeping are ex plained in detail in a special Morehead production entitled, "Calendar Story," now being shown at the Planetarium. "The names of our months, es pecially those toward the eyid of the year, tell us something of the history of the calendar," Dr. Roy K. Marshall, Planetarium director said yesterday in commenting on the show. The month as used in Cost Orange's Umstead Sponsors Motion On New Med Unit improve the mental hospital facil ities in this state. . In other legislation before the body today, mechanical inspec tion of motor vehicles would be given another try under a bill thrown into the mill. Rep. George Long of Alamance sent up the bill which would al low inspection of cars either in state-operated lanes or at ap proved garages. The motorist would take his choice. Other developments included final action by the House on the squabble over seating of Demo Indicted 'Bama Fumes As Aly Picks Coed Queen TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Jan. 12 (UP) A battle raged on the University of Alabama campus today over whether Prince Aly Khan should judge the pictures of coed candidates for the yearbook beauty section. The Student Life Committee, an advisory group, said letters have been received by the school administration criticiz ing the choice of the Indian prince on "moral and racial grounds." The Kahn was selected .by Editor Don Cronin of the Corolla, Alabama student year book, and the prince "agreed to judge 20 photographs of Alabama beauties which were rushed to him at a hotel in Cairo. The Board of Publications voted to back Cronin's choice of a judge, but an unfavorable vote by the Student Life Com mittee, which was considering the question, would repudiate it.

"Ancient worship of the five naked-eye planets and present names of the days and their order," the director ex plained. Leap year and how it was orig inated is discussed also in the program. The leap year rule, so important in keeping the season's squared with the calendar, is more complicated than the aver age person suspects, but its true operation is explained in the show, he said. .. Hospital Is 750,000 cratic Rep. W. A. Sams of Madi son County. Without debate-and without dissent, the House gave Sams clear title to. his seat and threw out the protest of Republi can R. S. Rice.

A flag will be raised only on special occasions such as North Carolina day, or days specially observed, as was United Nations day. No Definite Date Is Set To Build New Museum Although plans are underway, the University has set no definite date for the construction of the new Ackland Memorial Art Mus eum, which is to be made possible by a fund bequeathed to the school by William Ackland of Washington. The museum will occupy the former site of the old Roberson house opposite the Baptist Church on Columbia Street and the lot adjacent to Archer House. -The Roberson house has been razed this week and the lot is ready for construction except for some trash that must be cleared. However, no defenite plans have yet been made for tearing down the dormitory next to Archer house, or Archer house itself. The site of Roberson house was purchased recently by the Univer sity from the Baptist Church which planned to use it as a lo cation for a Baptist Student Union house.

Truman's Call To Hike Taxes Draws Protest HST 'Hysterical Say Republicans After New Move WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (UP) ---President Truman's call for a tax boost of more than $8,000, 000,000 today drew a -Republican protest that he is "hysterical." Democrats voiced doubt that federal taxes, already about the highest in history, can be raised as much as Mr. Truman indicat ed perhaps as much as $15,000, 000,000. The tax request wss included in the annual economic message in which the President began spelling out the. legislative pro gram that will determine his re lations with the 82nd Congress. He also asked for new legisla tion "in the fields of housing, ag riculture, reciprocal trade, public works, industrial mobilization, A health and education,.1 and unem ployment compensation. Mr. Truman didn't say exactly how much new taxes he wants. But he said they should be raised "much more" than the $8,000, 000,000 total of two bills passed last year. The most vigorous objection came from Rep. Daniel A. Reed, Jr., N. Y., ranking Republican member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. "I think the President has gone hysterical," Reed said. - ' Committee Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D., N. C, said the group will take up taxes in Feb ruary and "do the best we can." He declined to predict how much will be approved. asked for it at the time the Rob erson estate was sold. The Ackland fund was origi nally willed to Duke University, which refused the- grant. Then the University and Rollins Col lege in Florida, both mentioned as possible recipients in a second will, contended for the fund in the federal courts of the District of Columbia. , With the late O. Max Gardner serving as attorney without compensation, the University fin ally won the decision. The lower court decided in favor of Rollins, but the case ,was carried to the Court of Appeals and the decision reversed.

"l3P) North Korean Reds threatened the Allied stand in Central Korea Friday with a roadblock 30 miles down the east flank of the U. S. Second Division's horseshoe-shaped front, but the Allies kept the toe of the shoe nailed down. The Chinese Cojnmunist mass "on the Korean western front, building up for an expected fresh " assault on the withdrawing U. S. Eighth Army, began shift ing eastward on two courses. One fed troops to the central front, either to reinforce the North Korean Reds hacking at the Second Division or to exploit any breakthrough. The other poured Reds out of Osan, 28 miles south of Seoul, in to a new assembly point north of Ansong, 40 miles southeast of Seoul and about midway between Seoul and Taejon. Allied sources regarded the shift to Ansong as the most dan gerous. They believed the Red strategy was to try for a break through ..r ..at Ansong and wheel westward to the sea in an effort to cut off Allies on the western front. . - With Allied" air and artillery support, the American, French and Dutch main column of the Second Division in Central Korea threw back a sharp Red attack on its northernmost position, one and a half to two miles south of Wonju, and even regained some ground that had been lost Thurs day. Associated Press Correspondent William C. Barnard reported the Allies recaptured two hills in the northeast corner of the horseshoe wedge. They had fallen back from the hills the night before. The Allied charge, Barnard said, was made in snow a foot deep after planes and artillery plastered Red troops along its rugged ridge. -Marines Recall 2,250 Officers WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 W The Marine Corps announced to day it has begun to call up 2,000 additional ground force ofifcers and 250 aviation officers from the reserve for active duty.

He said most of the others were killed by their captors, but he escaped by pretending to be dead. "The Commies tossed me in a snowdirft and left me to rot," he said. His hands and feet were frostbitten severely. Later, however, U. S. Marines rescued him and started him on ; the long road to amputation and life as a cripple. Doctors at the sprawling Army hospital said Reeves would be walking on artificial feet within six months. Reeves told his mother, Mrs. I Hubert Reeves, Sr., before he went to the operating room that "I'm not afraid of the operation and I'm not scared of my future." Mrs. Reeves came from her home at Joliet, 111., to. be with By J 'Go To Heir College View Hits Florida GAINESVILLE, Fla., Jan. 12 (UP) University of Florida President J.' Hillis Miller to day called all male students to a meeting -Monday to discuss the "Go-to-Hellism" attitude spreading across the campus on the crest of the draft wind. Pessimistic and uncertain, many of the university's 8,000 male students have been fail ing to show up for classes. Grades, in all except reserve officer training' courses, have plummeted, university offi cials said. Many students have dropped out of school already. Study and school in general seem unimportant to most. The draft is blowing hot on their necks. Morale is so bad among he male students that Dr. Miller said his convocation Monday was necessary to keep the Uni versity operating as it should. Miller said he would tell the men how they should conduct themselves in critical interna tional times like these, where they stand with the university if called to service before cornpletirrg their studies, and of the long-range effect of the situation on the university. John Eastman, editor of the campus humor magazine, The Orange Peel, referred to the students' attitude as a general "Go-to-Hellism." "They're not studying or go ing to classes because they feel: 'What the hell. What's it worth,' " Eastman said. "And I kind of agree with them." her plucky son during his ordeal. Doctors said they, would ampu tate all the fingers and thumb of hif left hand and all the fingers below the middle joint of his right hand "in 10 days or two weeks, depending on his pro gress." t -' Mrs. Reeves said she had prayed for her son's recovery ever since she learned that he had been wounded. . She said her son told her "that with his God and me so close to him, he just couldn't see anything to be afraid of." The youth's father stayed home in Joliet at his job. He said he was confident the boy would come through the amputations "in good shape" and become a nor mal son again. "That boy always was cheerful and could adapt himself to any situation," the elder Reeves said.

Officials already have warned that the Army will have to take husbands and fathers un less Congress authorizes an 1; year-old draft. Mrs. Rosenberg said the mo bilization step-up was approve d by President Truman this morn ing. No breakdown among the various services was given. Hinting that even higher mili tary manpower goals may be et within the 'next-few weeks, she' urged the Committee to approve the Defense Department's request for sharply revised draft legisla tion. Under present law, men 10 through 25 may be drafted for 21 months service. Veterans are exempt by law, married men are automatically passed over by presidential decree, and students receive liberal deferments. The Defense Department want.-: to combine the draft with a modi fied University Military Training Program under which 18-year-olds would be called for four months of basic training and 215 months of regular service, follow ed by a period in the reserves. Unless the plan is approved, Mrs. Rosenberg said, it will be necessary to draft veterans and heads of families to meet the new goals. "Even'under the most optimist ic estimates, we would be bankrupt of manpower" by 1952, Vhe added. Red Cross Set Meeting Monday Night An open meeting of the loeal Red Cross chapter is scheduled for 8 p.m. Monday in the Town Hall Courtroom. Representatives of the student body will meet with civic leaders to make plans for the arrival of the Bloodmobile unit, here Feb. 1.
