Congress Draft
18 Age Group
5 College Heads
Urge Legislators
To Authorize Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 (UP)
Defense Secretary George C. Mar
shall formally asked Congress for
an 18-year-old draft today and
promised that , none of the youths
would be sent into combat until
they are 19 "except in a dire
emergency."
Simultaneously five college
presidents urged Congress to au
thorize a draft of 18-year-olds
te help build the planned 3,500,
000 man armed force. Youths now
must register at 18 but cannot be
inducted until they turn 19.
Karl T. Compton, head of Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technol
ogy, told the Senate Prepared
ness Sub-Committee that is the
best way to build the desirid
force with "a minimum of disrup
tion and damage." He said a sug
gested ban on overseas service
for 18-year-olds might be "dis
astrous" in event - of an emerg
ency. The 18-year-old draft also was
endorsed by presidents Harold W.
Dodds of Princeton University,
James P. Baxter of Williams Col
lege, Leonard Carmichael of Tufts
College and Detlev W. Bronk of
Johns Hopkins University.
In a letter accompanying the
18-year-old draft bill, which also
would increase the draft term
from 21 to 27 months, Marshall
assured Congress that no youth
under 19 would be sent overseas
except on "training duty" unless
he first had four months train
ing.
Dimes Drive
Is Extended
UntH Feb. 4
Students and townspeople will
be able to drop their dimes, quar
ters, and dollars into the March
of Dimes trays beyond the original
date set for this, area.
Orange County Chairman, E.
Carrington Smith announced yes
terday that the deadline for the
local drive has been extended un
til Feb.. 4, a- four day increase
over the original ending date.
This is being done to give state
workers the opportunity to con
tribute after their pay date which
falls at the end of each month,
Smith said.
Although contributions from
the Chapel Hill area are coming
in slowly, Smith praised the work
of Mrs. Jesse West, drive chair
man of Carrboro.
Preliminary reports from ' the
rest of the county, in the annual
drive to fight polio, have not yet
come in, Smith added.
The University Monogram Club
has made plans for the staging, of
a comic basketball game between
members of the Carolina football
team. The unique feature will
see the Tar Heel backfieldmen
matched against the linemen'.
A goal of $1,000 has been set by
the club for the contest. Receipts
will be turned over to the local
drive chairman, officials said.
In 1948 the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis spent $1900
for treatment of the wife of one
of the University football play
ers, Smith said yesterday. The
basketball game is being staged
in gratitude for that aid, he added.
Another unique feature of the
current drive will be the a hole-in-one
contest at the Chapel Hill
Country Club.
Runoff
Old East Dormitory will elect
a vice president today in a run
off between John Deyton and
Wayne Roberts.
A ballot box will remain open
in the center -section of the
dorm between 8 .m. and 6 p.m.

Independent Unit
Takes CICA Duties
An Independent Coed Board,
to take over the duties of the
Carolina Independent Coed Asso
ciation, was established Monday
night by the Coed Senate, Speak
er Kash Davis said yesterday.
The bill establishing the new
group was introduced by CICA
President Peggy Warren. It will
be presented to the Student Legis
lature tonight.
The new group, which will be
made up of independent coeds
elected from the various coed
dormitories, will receive money
from the Coed Senate to sponsor
"activities and projects of social,
civil and political nature to bene
fit the campus as a whole dnd
independent women in particu
lar." The first board will be named
by the CICA. The chairman of
the new governmental body will
be selected by the membership.
Miss Warren said the new group
would be able to carry on activi
ties for independent coeds in a
more effective fashion than could
the CICA, since the old associa
tion did not "reach a large num
ber of those women students for
which it was established to
benefit."
She also asserted that the mon
ey being appropriated to the CICA
by the Coed Senate could be
more effectively used by a full
fledged student governmental
group such as the new board.

Defeated Indians, Too
Early Pioneer Defense
Used By GTs In Korea
By William Chapman
ON THE EAST CENTRAL
FRONT, Korea, Jan. 17 (UP)
United Nations forces have adopt
ed Indian-style defense tactics to
protect themselves at night from
a ghost-like enemy army that
stalks through the rugged Sobaek
Mountains.
This means that darkness falls,
convoys pull into a defense peri
meter and park their vehicles in
a circle, like the pioneers in the
early days of . America. This
guards against attacks from any
direction.
The system is necessary to cope
with the Communists whq steal
through the line wearing white
snow capes. These make them
virtually invisible against a white
background. -

Workers To Get
1212 Cent Hike;
Asked 25 Cents
.y
DURHAM, Jan. 17- W
Representatives of Bricklay
ers Local No. 10, company
spokesmen, and federal medi
ators sat down here today and
ended the five-weeks long
strike at eight major construc
tion projects here and in
Chapel Hill.
The parties agreed on a 12
and Vz cents per hour increase
effective from Dec. 15, 1950, un
til Feb. 1, 1952, the hike to be
effective in Durham and Orange
counties.
Some 800 workers held off
their jobs by pickets will be back
at work tomorrow morning, union
officials said.
The closed "panel mediation"
out of which came the settlement
lasted nine hours. It was called
by the regional office of the U. S.
Mediation Service in Washington.
The local got half of what it
had bargained for. It had sought
a flat raise from $2.50 to $2.75
per hour.
The end of the strike apparently
hasn't come too soon for either
side. Over 200 of the workers held
off- their jobs . had applied- for
unemployment compensation and
one contractor was reported to
have gone back to work with
"scabs."
Henry Baker of Washington,
Federal Mediation Commissioner,
presided at the meeting today.

Communist China today turn

It proposed instead a seven
nation conference in China "to
work on the Korean-war, Formo

The Peiping regime insisted Red
China must be seated in the U.N.
before talks begin.
Secretary of State Acheson im

proposals. American forces at
the U.N. laid plans for bringing
up a resolution branding Red
China as an aggressor in Korea.
In daylight hours, U.S. vehicles

1,000 feet high.

"I'm sad."
Jim Mills, Yackety Yack editor,
is in a state of mental deprecia-i
tion. He's got so many worries
that he may not pass his Air
Force physical.
The reason? Snapshots.
"We have some, but they're the
wrong kind," said the ever-moving
Yack chief yesterday.
"We have pictures of home
comings pouring out of the Yack
office's windows. I don't believe
students have taken any other
kind of pictures than ones of
homecoming displays in the last
four months," the affable editor
commented.
"And the ones we do get look
like they were taken under water
by a shade tree at midnight," he
added. "What the Yack needs is
clear photos, snapshots of stu
dents, campus activities, student
parties, humorous and nostalgic
pictures, but not homecoming
displays," Mills said.
"Pictures must be handed in
this week so that we can make
up portions of the book. We are
trying hard to have the Yack
ready earlier this year and we
need the pictures now," he said.
Mills also pointed out that
students leaving before the dis
tribution date of the yearbooks
should leave their name and . ad
dress at the Yack office if they
wish to have one. The charge for
Yacks will be $1.50 per quarter
absent.
"There must be trillions of pic
tures on the campus. If you have
one, we want 'em. We jes' gotta
have those pitchers so that the
Yack will be a complete reflec
tion of campus life." '
The photos will be used on
separate pages or on the adver
tising pages. Mills added that pic
tures of- the homecoming displays
would no longer be accepted.
