Military Win
'Impossible'
Says Writer
Fine Reservoir
Of Trained Men
For Future Army
Relman Morin, well-known
Associated Press war corres
pondent, told the North Caro
lina AP Club here yesterday
that he believed the United
Nations army would be forced
eventually to withdraw from
Korea.
"It appears now that a
clear cut military decision is im
possible to achieve over there,"
, he commented. He said, however,
that the war has produced "more
good than bad results" on the
American side of the ledger.
The AP Club meeting was the
forerunner of tonight's opening
of the annual North Carolina
Newspaper Institute. Dr. Dale Hi
Gramley, president of Salem
College and a former newspaper
editor, was the chief speaker on
the night program.
Morin, who served throughout
the world as a war and foreign
correspondent before going to the
Korean battlefronts,' pointed out
that the United States now has
more than 100,000 combat trained
officers and men in the seven
American divisions in Korea.
"As a fighting force that is not
much," he declared. "But as
trainers and instructors for the
Army being rebuilt, these men
will be invaluable. We had no
such trained reservoir 10 years
ago when we had to start arm
ing." He added that the Korean de
feat could be described as almost
"a baby Pearly Harbor' He said
the result had served to put
Washington at work on defense
and armament programs, which
now are rapidly moving ahead.
Morin observed that "it is a much
cheaper price for awakening
than the one we paid on Dec. 7,
1941, at Pearl Harbor."
Paul Hansell of Charlotte, Car
olinas manager of the AP, pre
sented his annual, report. Sam
Ragan of Raleigh, chairman of
the AP's News Council, reported
on council activities, and Nady
Cates of The Winston-Salem
Journal-Sentinel discussed the
managing editors' convention held
in Atlanta last November.

Negro Quits
Law School
Under Cloud
BATON ROUGE, La., Jan. 18
(UP Roy S. Wilson, 30, a Negro
school teacher, admitted to the
Louisiana State University Law
School by court order, quit school
"in view of certain situations."
The University said it had dis
covered Wilson had a police rec
ord, a "blue" Army discharge,'
had been a psychiatric patient
and once was expelled from a
Negro college for attacking a fel
low student with a softball bat.
Wilson, first Negro student in
LSU history, announced that he
was leaving . the campus today
"in view of certain situations
which exist and I feel that this
is the only proper manner to re
concile them."
"At the time of his conditional
admission to the law school, in
compliance with an injunction
from the federal court, Wilson's
qualifications were under re
view," said the LSU Board of Su
pervisors. "As a result of subsequent in
vestigation, it became clear that
Wilson's- record was not such as
to justify his admission to the
law school."
Wilson's lawyer, A. P. Tureaud
of New Orleans, said Wilson with
drew "because of financial reas
ons." ; . : ,
Last .fall, a three-judge federal
court ruled that Wilson and 11
other petitioning Negroes must
be admitted to LSU if they were
qualified. The U. S. Supreme
Court upheld the ruling recently.

Gramley Addresses
Opening Session
Of News Institute
"Community newspapers have
a tremendous responsibility in the
preservation of world peace,"
President Dale H. Gramley of
Salem College, former editor of
the Bethlehem, Pa., Daily Globe
Times, declared here last night.
Addressing the opening session
of the 26th annual North" Caro
lina Newspaper Institute, Presi
dent Gramley, who at one time
taught journalism in Lehigh Uni
versity, said, ."World peace can
not be achieved in the full sense
of the term until the ingredients
of which peace is comprised are
achieved in our home communi
ties. "Newspapers in accepting their
responsibility in this preserva
tion of peace will be influenced as
their own consciences are quick
ened, as they assume the obliga
tions of corporate citizenship and
as readers make their' demands.
For readers, too, must share in
the responsibility of the commun
ity newspaper," he said.
. Dr. Gramley emphasized that
the "great task of the newspaper
is the collection and dissemina
tion of news, a function which
must be performed if our demo
cratic form of government is to
survive."

A pint of blood is worth a GI's

To help replenish the supply,

Red Aggression
Russian-Backed
LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 18 (P)
Warren R. Austin demanded to
day the United Nations face facts
and condemn Red China for com
mitting aggression in China at
Russia's behest.
The American delegate said
Communist China leaders have
put their necks "in the Soviet
collar," scorned the U.N., openly
accepted responsibility for the
Chinese Red . masses fighting in
Korea, and must accept the con
sequences. .
Pleading for positive action to
meet Peiping's rejection of the
U.N. cease fire appeals, Austin re
minded the delegates of the rab
bit which he called an animal
lovely to look at but lacking in
character. He said a rabbit squats
in face of danger and "even the
house-cat can break his neck." r
days will be in Korea within the
next week or 10 days. Students
may. make appointments to speed
it on its way by dialing F-471 and
asking for the Blood Bank.
Since an announcement made
some time, last week, only 10 ap
pointments have been made for
donors over the telephone and a
handful more by application, ac
cording to John Young, supervis
or of the local Naval Volunteer
Reserve Research Unit, the or
ganization handling recruitment
of donors.
Young said that donors have
been volunteering slower than he
had expected, and that if the min
imum of 575 donors was not ob
tained, the Red Cross quota for
this area would not be met.
He said that all donors should
be signed up and appointments
made by the end of next week,
Friday, Jan. 26, so that necessary
preparations may be made. Posi
tively no volunteers will be ac
cepted on the days the Bloodmo
bile is here.
Here's all you have to do to
volunteer:
1. Be 18 years old or older.
2. If you are under 21 and un
married, have a brief note from
your parents bearing their consent
tht you may give blood.
3. Do not have a cold or be un
der 100 pounds in weight. Those
enemic or not in top physical
shape will be rejected for the pro
tection of their own health.
4. Do not eat eggs, meat or fatty
foods during the four-hour period
immediately before the time set
for your donation.
Meet those requirements, pick
up the phone and dial F-471, and
your blood will be as. good as on
its way to some wounded GI's
veins.

Town Permit
For Building
The town of . Chapel Hill has
issued a permit for Belk Stores
to construct a $90,000 building on
a site just east of the A&P Store
on West Franklin Street.
No plans have been submitted
yet to the Buildings Inspector
since the permit is subject to ap
proval by the Town Planning
Board. The plans will have to
conform to specifications for Col

the community planning program.
The recent restrictions on non
essential buildings issued by the
Federal Government may prevent
immediate undertaking of the
project. These restrictions pro

Hershey Indorses
18-Year-OId Draft
Suggests Extension
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18
(UP) The Air Force today
summoned nearly all its or
ganized reserves, some 150,000
men, for active duty between
March 1 and May 15 as part
of its drive to expand to 971,
000 men and neaily 100 air
groups.
The call went out as Draft
Director Lewis B. Hershey in
dorsed the administration's "per
manent" 18-year-old draft bill
but suggested extending the draft
term from 21 to 30 months. The
Defense Department asked only
' for a 27-months draft.
The Air Force called up 33 of
its reserve wings 12 Air Nation
al Guard wings and 21 reserve
training center wings. It also
summoned a "major part" of the
60,000 individual volunteer re
serves not previously called and
about 20,000 volunteer reserve of
ficers. It already has called 10 Nation
al Guard air wings and a tactical
control group, four reserve wings
and 50,000 individual reserve of
ficers and airmen. An undesig
nated number of small reserve
and national guard air units also
have been called.
A wing is a combat air group,
plus headquarters and supporting
units.
The draft bill, sent to the capi
tol late yesterday, was introduced
in the Senate today by Chairman
Lyndon B. Johnson (D., Tex.) of
the Senate Preparedness Commit
tee. It carried the names of all
members of the Senate Armed
Services Subcommittee but bore
the notation "introduced by re
quest" meaning they did not
necessarily endorse it.
Hershey told the group the 18-
year-old draft would gear the na
tion for the "possibility" of all-out
war in the "immediate future"
and enable it to face the cold- hot
war crisis for an indefinite period.
Despite his siatement, members
of the House Armed Services
Committee, after a preliminary
look at the bill, displayed a lack
of. enthusiasm. Reps. W. Sterling
Cole (R. N.Y.) and Harry L.
Towe (R. N.J.) said they would
have to be convinced.
Rep. Overton Brooks (D. La.)
second ranking committee Demo
crat, said the measure might "of
fer the basis" for writing a "good
law." He said he wants to be sure
the armed services are not wast
ing the manpower they already
have. Other members said full
hearings 'will be held.
Hershey urged Congress not to
tie the hands of Defense Secre
tary George C. Marshall by ban
ning overseas service for lS-year-olds.
And he warned that the law
makers faced the "inevitable"
choice of drafting 18-year-olds- or
veterans and fathers.
