Campus Chest Ends
Big Drive Today;
Report Due Tonight
Money Collected In Annual Campaign
$ Distributed To Six Organizations
With the Campus Chest drive drawing to a close today,
students who have not yet contributed were urged to "be'
sure and give today," and all solicitors were reminded that
tonight is the deadline for turning in reports to Chest officials.
The campaign opened on campus Monday. It is the only
fund-raising' drive allowed at the
University oy act oi me student
Legislature last year and money
collected in the drive will go
or six different organizations.
Students who have not been
contacted by solicitors in their
dormitories, fraternity, or soror
ity houses may turn in contribu
tions at the booth set up in the
lobby of the Y or at Chest head
quarters in the Y Cabinet Room.
Chest Coordinator Bob Payne
yesterday made a special appeal
to students who live in town or
commute from outside Chapel
Hill.
"They are just as much a part
of the University as other stu
dents and we hope those who
have not contributed to the Chest
will make it a point to drop by
the booth at the Y today' Payne
?id.
Donations may be. made either
in cash or by pledge payable by
April 15, or a combination of
the two.
No figures were available from
Chest Treasurer Charlie Fox as
to the amount of money taken
by the campaign so far. But only
a very small per cent of the so
licitors had turned in their re
ports. One of the top causes being
sponsored by the chest this year
is the Carolina-Calcutta project,
which supports a student hostel
in India for some 100 students
attending the University of Cal
cutta. The hostel is run on a cooper
ative basis with residents taking
their meals in the house and
doing their own cleaning.
Other organizations receiving
funds from the Chest are the
WSSF, CARE. . American Heart
Association. American Friends
Service Fund, the Polio Fund,
and DP scholarships.

PARIS. Feb. 28 ( UP ) Pre

government fell tonight,
plunging France into an inteimal

seriously the defense front of the
western nations.
Pleven and his cabinet, which

7 P-ni. (1 p.m. EST) after unsuc
cessful efforts to break a dead

internal political affair, but the
resulting, crisis was expected to
d( l;iy major decisions in current
conferences here to organize a

Crime Movement
From Italian Base
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 -(ZD-
Mobsters are using fantastic
crime and gambling pronts to
finance an underground govern
ment" that could turn subversive
and. wreck the United States, the
Senate Crime Committee report
ed today.
The crime investigators said the
czar -of a vast American under
world lives in Italy and is charles
"Lucky" Luciano, deported New
York vice overlord. And there is
evidence the Mafia, "Black Hand"
Sicilian Society, also operates
here, the report said and may be
the "adhesive" holding gangs to-
The 35-page report is a pre
liminary one. But is said if Ameri
cans ever had any doubt that U.S.
crime is organized, that doubt is
now- dispelled by facts the com
mittee has uncovered "over ten
months of the most intensive in
vestigation of its kind ever at
tempted."
It estimated "conservatively'
that $20,000,000,000 changes hands
every year in organized illegal
gambling.
It said the gangsters do not
hesitate to use murder, bombing
or any other form of violence to
eliminate competition And it said
large sums in "ice" protection
money are used to buy off local
and Federal officials.
The report added that there is
evidence of corruption and con
nivance at all levels of govern
ment and that this was the most
shocking revelation of all the tes
timony. It said bribes, political
pressure and threats are used by
the mobsters to gain protection.

youngest of their five children.
He was a large and sensitive boy
with a keen remembrance of

Robert Frost
Gives Lecture
In Hill Tonight
Fifth Appearance
For Great Poet
On Campus Here
America's greatest living poet,
Robert Frost, will give a leteture
and recital in Hill Hall tonight, at
8 o'clock.
The. lecture, sponsored by the
Department of English, is open
to the public.
This is the fifth time that Frost
has appeared at Carolina. Previ
ous engagements by the poet were
attended by a packed house and
evoked enthusiastic response.
Rated by practically all critics
as among America's greatest liv
ing writers and by a great many
as our greatest living poet, Frost
has four times been the recipient
of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry k
and has received many other hon
ors and world recognition.
Frost is spending three days in
Chapel Hill as the guest of Pro
fessor and Mrs. C. P. Lyons.
Frost, a native New Englander,
is well known for poems such as
"Birches," "Death of a Hired
Man," and "Stopping By the
Woods On a Snowy Evening."
The poet spoke informally to
a small group of English students
in Sanders Hall yesterday after
noon. His talk concerned some
of" the works of other well known
authors and poets.

south of the 3Cth parallel, late
yesterday.
The Allies ground out gains at
both ends of the Operation Killer
line. But they ran into bitter
opposition from Chinese holding
the western anchor at Yongsong.
They captured Hill 297, just
south of Yongdu, in an advance
of 2,000 yards. And they charged
up the lower slopes of nearby
Hill 318, guarding the junction of
two key highways.
Chinese defenders of the steep
1,000-foot hill poured artillery
fire into the ranks of the advanc
ing Americans, and hours after
the kickoff the hill still had not
been taken, United Press Cor
respondent Jack Burby reported.
Tom came to the University
when he was 15, where he stood
literally head and shoulders
above the other 1,137 students,
for he possessed startling eyes,
a mass of unkept hair and a
height of six feet.three inches.
Within a short time he had be
come the traditional "big man
on campus."
Too young to serve jn the war,
Wolfe accepted the leadership in
many organizations.' He became
editor of the weekly Tar Heel,
a member of the Dialectic Senate,
editor of the Carolina Magazine,
class, poet, a member of Sigma
Upsilon, Omega Delta, Pi Kappa
Phi, the German'' Club, Satyrs,
and Golden Fleece, and an almost

Budget Is $20,000
Above 1st E stimate
Special Committee Will Meet Daily
To Ready Figures For Next Session
By Don Maynard
Carolina's student organizations
submitted appropriations requests
$20,000 in excess of the'estimated
income of $45,000 from student
fees next year, Secretary-Treasurer
Banks Talley revealed yes
terday. So much difficulty is expected
in lopping the requests down to
the income estimate that Talley,
chairman of the special eight
man committee, has called for
meetings every afternoon this
week and next so that the budget
DTH Phones
Are Curtailed
To One Line
The Publications Board said
yesterday it had cut down Daily
Tar Heel operating expenses
further by eliminating one of two
telephone lines and three ex
tensions, and Managing Editor
Chuck Hauser called ,the move
a "foolish auction . which will
throttle normal operating pro
cedure of the newspaper."
The latest cut was announced
by Board Chairman Zane Rob
bins. ' Hauser, former chairman of the
Board, charged, "'The Publica
tions Board, in going off the deep
end "in economizing, has finally
seriously hurt operations in the
newspaper which it is supposed to
care for financially.
"Cutting a telephone line into
the offices of The Daily Tar
Heel will merely slow up bus
iness, cause inefficiency, and in
its effect upon the Business De
partment of the "newspaper, will
probably result in an actual loss
of money," Hauser continued.
The former publications finan
cial leader pointed out that both
hone lines into the newspaper
offiice were Constantly in use.
"Cutting necessities out of the
budget just isn't common sense,"
Hauser added.
Board Chairman Robbins said
the budget cut "is a regrettable
move but the Board saw no al
ternative." Eclipse Once
Caused Fear
Terror and fear "were always
felt by peoples of the past at the
disappearance of the sun during
an eclipse, officials of the More
head Planetarium said yesterday.
Ignorance of the true causes
of this entirely natural phen
omenon caused the belief that
evil spirits were endeavoring to
devour and deprive the earth of
its source of light and heat, they
added
Because of the occurrence of an
eclipse- of the sun on March
of this year, the Planetarium is
devoting "the present period to
the demonstration 'Eclipses of
the Sun."
The facilities of the Planetar
ium are uniquely capable of pre
senting to peoples of all ages and
backgrounds the simple facts of
nature that cause eclipses to oc
cur.
Not only the particular eclipse
to occur on March 7, but all the
posible types of eclipses will be
explained. Where and when to
tal eclipses of the sun occur vis
iblc in this country will be shown,
idates
Can
may be whipped into shape by
the beginning of next quarter.
It was anticipated at the be
ginning of this quarter that the
committee would have its bud
get completed and ready to hand
to the Student Legislature at its
special session next Thursday.
But, Talley said yesterday, it
will not be until the first week
in the spring quarter that the
appropriations . for next year will
be complete.
A two-day hearing of publica
tions' demands for the next fiscal
year last Thursday brought the
requested total to $65,000. Talley
said his committe is not count
ing on a figure more than 4,000
students or $45,000 in revenue
for the school year 1951-52.
The estimate of 4,000 students
is a conservative one, i alley
said, aimed to eliminate any
possible cutbacks for the organ
ization such as they experienced
this past year. In the fall, groups
supported by the student block
fee system were asked to cut
expenses down" 15 per cent.
From now on until the com
mittee calls for a special session
of the Legislature the first week
of the spring quarter, the group
will be engaged in cutting and
slicing of budget demands, Talley
said.
No hint was given by Talley
oi possioie iurtner puoncaiions
cuts or dropping of any of the
services rendered by student gov
ernment-supported organizations,
but it is expected that The Daily
Tar Heel, Yackety Yack and
Tarnation will be hard hit by the
drop in enrollment and conse
quent income.
Red Cross
Drive Starts
Advance subscriptions have
been most encouraging for the
town Red Cross drive which
opens here today, it was report
ed by campaign chairman Miss
Elizabeth Branson last night.
This year's goal of $8,000 to be
raised during the 10-day cam
paign is up $1,500 over last year,
Miss , Branson said, due to the
necessarily increased services of
the organization to the armed
forces and their dependent fami
lies.

were declared disqualified
yesterday under the academic
requirement clause of the new
elections law.
Meanwhile, speculation arose
as to whether the law would be
taken to the Student Council for
a ruling on whether is was ex
post facto in principle.
Also declared disqualified yes
terday for failure to maintain an
overall "C" average were Andy
Miketa and Joe Dudeck, respec
tively University Party and Stu
dent Party nominees for presi
dent of the Carolina Athletic As
sociation, and Art Greenbaum,
doubly-endorsed candidate for
vice president of the CAA.
Student Council candidate Hay
ward, running on the UP ticket,
was listcoT.as ineligible, and two
UP nominees for sophomore class
positions were knocked out of the
race. They were Baxter Miller,
running for president, and John
A McMillan, running for social
chairman.
The law not only requires a C
average for the preceding three
quarters, but also requires a can
didate to pass at least 40 hours
of. work in three quarters. The
old academic requirement clause
called for 35 hours passed, includ
ing at least 20 hours of C's.
Rumors of the possibility of an
opinion being requested from the
Student Council arose yesterday
when some student government
leaders recognized an ex po.,t
facto quality in the law. An ex
post 'facto law, which is prohibit
ed under such documents as the
United States Constitution, in
volves punishment for an act
committed prior to the passage of
the law.
Proponents of the ex post facto .
theory argue that the penalty of
not being allowed to run should
! not be imposed on candidates who
had no knowledge of the acade
mic requirements they would
have to meet prior to the passage
of the elections bill.
The Student Council may de
clare the lav unconstitutional un
der Article VIII, Section 5, which
prohibits the Student Legislature
from passing any law denying
any freedom guaranteed "by the
