Allies before under taking any drastic new moves in the Far East. A curtain of secrecy around Dulles' testimony, imposed at his request, developed quick holes as members of a Senate for eign relations subcommittee gave newsmen their impressions of what he said. Committee members said Dulles informed them the ad ministration is not planning any ac tion now toward a blockade of Red China. VATICAN CITY Pope Pius XII intervened in Washington last De cember in behalf of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the convicted atomic spies whom President Eisen hower has since refused to save from the electric chair, Roman Catholic Church sourcse said yes terday. The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano announced the Pontiff stepped in as an act of mercy "insofar as it was permitted him by the lack of every official relation with the competent (Am erican) government authorities." The newspaper gave no details as to how or when the Pope acted on behalf of the couple, Jewish natives of New York. WASHINGTON The govern ment has freed auto manufacturers to make all the cars and trucks they can as Eisenhower administra tion began tearing down the two-year-old basic industrial rationing system. Acting Defense Mobilizer Arthur S. Flemming announced that, effective Friday, all steel, copper and aluminum left over af ter defense and authorized civilian requirements are met will be sold on the open market. All civilian al locations of the three metals will end June 30. Officials said the ac- firm mpnm that production ceil ings on autos and trucks now are ended. r SEOUL Allied troops were al ert yesterday for an explosive ob servation by the Reds on this Chin ese New Year's Day. On the eve of the holiday, the Reds broke out a rash of attacks that cost them 200 in dead ans? wounded. Yesterday, in addition to being the old-style Chinese New Year's Day, also is the third anniversary of the sign ing of a mutual security pact be tween Russia and China. LIBRARY DISPLAY The University Library opened a series of displays this week on "Industrial Relations: Sources of Information." The first of the series consists of publications available from the National As sociation of Manufacturers. In cluded in the showing are re search pamphlets entitled: In dustry and Government Re search, Financing Small Busi ness, and Your Opportunity' in Management. The materials for the display were lent to the Library by Al pha Kappa Psi, national profes sional fraternity in business ad ministration, from files at the UNC chapter house. BIOS nurc The Rev. Charles H. Jones has efused the request of Orange Pres bytery's Judicial Commission that he resign his pastorate here. In a letter given to Commission Chairman the Rev. Z. T. Piephoff in Greensboro today the 46-year-old minister acknowledged the ju dicial group's authority to remove him, but declared that he could not in honesty resign "for the wel fare of the church" as he had been requested to do. A special meeting of the congre gation has been, called -in the church at noon today following the 11 o'clock worship services. The Rev. Robert J. McMullen, act ing pastor, said the meeting would be for th epurpose of informing the congregation of the latest de velopments in the situation. The congregation may take action, oth er sources have said. Mr. Jones met with the local church officers here last night to tell them of his meeting with the Commission last Monday in Won t Quit; Commission today after it had been delivered to the Rev. Mr. Piephoff. " In this letter he answered an ! earlier suggestion by the Commis sion that if he would resign his pastorate some substantial finan cial contribution to the Chapel Hill church program might be forth c6ming. This suggestion was not made directly by the Commission, but was inferred - in a written re port by the Commission to the church congregation in December. The minister said he would re turn to his Kingsport, Tenn., tem porary residence late today. He had no comments on his situation other than those contained in his letter, the text of which follows: Your request for my voluntary resignation from the pastorate of the Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church, on the grounds that it will be for the welfare of the Church, has been carefully considered. I must decline the request. "The officers of the church, by a unanimous vote, and the mem- "Here is an opportunity for ed ucation that should not be allowed to go by default," President Gray told the state educational television commission Thursday in Raleigh. Gray added, "But North Carolina must realize that there will be more to educational TV than mere ly applying for eight channels. Television isn't going to be cheap. It is going to take money." At least a part of that money al ready has been pledged, Gray re vealed. The University has been offered $100,000 by a foundation for TV work if $200,000 in matchr ing funds can be raised He said the University hopes to get the matching funds from private sourc es and to set up its TV station with private funds. The University wants ..to help make educational television work, he said, but it doesn't want to take on the job without help. "Let us nthony s Fans' Hi gh N ixie Greensboro. At the Monday meet- bers of the church, by a vote of ine. it is known, the Commission , 156 to 14, have expressed their unanimously requested his resig nation. However as yet the Com mission has not even acknowled ged the fact that this meeting took place. Mr. Jones declined to make any comment at all on Monday's or last night's meeting, but made public a copy of his letter to the say," he told the hearing, 'that the University of North Carolina does n't want to operate eight television channels" The Consolidated University president had another Reminder If educational TV is to succeed, it must be good. The audiences for whom the program is intended won't watch, he warned, unless the educational shows are at least as well presented as the commercial shows. Several months ago, Gray ad dressed a TV meeting in Chapel Hill and made the pooint about not etting educational TV go "by de fault." r Chapel Hill has been assigned Channel 4, very high frequency. However, the University is likely the only educational institution in the town which would have the funds to utilize the channel. Unless the channel here, as well as the seven other channels alloted in the state, are acted upon by the state before June 2, they will be thrown open to commercial operators. ..4 - Campus Seen Student admiring bright green jackets of Ray Anthony's bands men, commented, "I want three of those tomorrow."

"You have stated in your report and in conference with us that the Chapel Hill Church does not have the confidence of Presbyterians in the Synod. At no time has the Commission presented to us sub stantial evidence of any such lack of confidence. On the contrary, I have received from members, of ficers and ministers of Presbyter ian Churches in various parts of the State, and region, and from many former students and pro fessors in the University in other parts of the country, unsolicited (See JONES, page 4) f I Sim m mm nr' '""in" itomwiiiinan 11 "' T"" r Ygr - Minmiic eve f nn of her Dolice escorts, Christine jSSSS 26-.2 VondeVotographer is pictured sh. .r iived In New York from Denmark.

Status Change May Cut Many NC Deferments North Carolina students may have their draft deferment status changed before the year is out, ac cording to a report from Col. T. H. Upton, state director of Selective Service Along with more than 50,000 men I now deferred because of fatherhood an doccupational reasons, some students may be reclassified to meet the heavy drain on Tar Heel manpower for the draft. . "It looks , as if there will have to be a tightening up in deferments of fathers and students,"said Col. Upton. At the same time he announced that next month the boards will be gin to call 19-yearolds. When this age level reserve is exhausted, pro visions will have to be made to dig into the deferred class on present levels, or earlier if there is any unusual demand for the armed forc es. . Boys in the 19-year-old class will begin receiving their pre-induction physical examinations this month i and report for induction when their local boards begin filling March quotas. Discussing the manpower eligi ble for the draft and now deferred for various reasons, Col. Upton said 41,052 have received dependency deferments, including fathers and non-fathers; 356 have received in dustrial occupational deferments; 1,533 have received from defer ments and 3,586 have received edu cation deferments. "What is done about drafting men after the 19-year-olds have been exhausted will -depend entire ly upon what happen on a national By Louis Kraar Ray Anthony yesterday afternoon brought an old friend back to Carolina dixieland jazz. The versatile Anthony, who looks like Cary Grant and whose orchestra is sometimes reminiscent of Glenn Miller's group filled1 bulging Memorial Hall full of students with a brand of jazz that, they agreed, was unlike, any heard here in a long time. Kicking off early in the concert with a dixie version of "Dark town Strutter's Ball," Anthony gained the help of hundreds of clapping hands for his rhythm section. The two-beat jazz brought a wave of approval from the clapping crowd. And the dixieland num bers throughout the show were the highlights of the afternoon. "Dixieland music certainly is popular here in the South," com mented Anthony himself during an intermission chat. The reason, he said, was as unknown to him as to most others. Asked if he preferred concerts to dances, the "young-man-with-the horn" said, "I like them both very much. But you know in a concert you're playing to a more compact group who are very close to you. You can do more things then." Anthony took advantage of that "compact . group" to display . such "Slaughter On Tenth Avenue" and precision serious numbers as 'The Grand Canyon Suite." The dis tinctive sound of the band on these arrangements as well as popular dance tunes prompted such ecstatic comments from the audience as, "They are the greatest. Simply the greatest." The famed arrangement of "Wben The Saints Go Marching In" brought the complete Anthony aggregation marching throuh the audience in what most agreed was the high spot of the program. Joanne Greer, a songstress, offered pleasing renditions of "When My Sugar Walks Down The Street" and "Till I Waltz Again With You." Miss Greer, who until three weeks ago was doing movie singing which was dubbed in for other stars, had some kind words for Carolina during intermission. "I love the food and the campus," she said. "You can feel the way a school is the first night in the gym," she said and then went on to tell how she liked it here. Energetic Anthony set the pace for the whole show. Alternately he played the trumpet, danced, directed the orchestra and even sang. Anthony's trumpet style, one that is definitely all his own, Was characterized by the ease with which he played and the ap parently strenious bendings of his body that accompanied each phrase. He seemed to be coaxing the notes out. And they obeyed all the time. -The concert climaxed on the front steps of the hall where An thony had led his bandsmen to the tune of the "Bunny Hop." i wk. ft -js., mi, i. itc-?-fc m. leavitf Will Represent Carolina At Centenary Ken Penegar, much talked of as a presidential candidate, is expect ed tomorrow night to be officially tapped , by the Student Party as their choice for the top student government post. Penegar, a junior from Gastonia, is at present speaker of the Di Sen ate, Student Union Activities Board Chairman and chairman of the Carolina Forum. He ran for secretary-treasurer of the student body last spring, losing by 198 votes to University Party candidate, Ed Gross. Although other possible SP pres idential candidates have been men tioned, Penegar's name has been on the tongues of Student Party politicians since this fall, and it is generally believed that he will get the nomination without too much of a battle. Ken Myers, who has expressed desires for the post, is expected to make a bid for the nomination. Myers is chairman of the Debate Council and a long time SP mem-ber.ber. Despite rumors that Peneger hasn't the grade requirements for the post, a certified report shows that he barely has the required av erage. An academic average of C or higher for the two quarters pre ceding the election is required of all candidates for office. Grade requirements have in the past barred many favorite political candidates. In 1951, many of the top men of both parties were dis qualified because of lack of the minimum academic averages. A test case before the Student Coun cil in that year resulted in an up holding of the minimum grade law. The . SP " presidential favorite, Penegar, has in the past made no comments concerning his running, but he has indicated that he would not object to running for the top student government seat. Other nominations on tomorrow night's slate are for Legislature seats for town men and women. Most dormitory seats were filled a tthe last nominating session. Other nominations on tomor row night's slate are for Legisla- lature seats for town men and women. Most dormitory seats were filled at the last nominating ses sion.

Impersonating characters from selections by the famous English writer, Williams' program will in clude scenes from "Our Mutual Friend," "Dombey and Son," "A Tale of Two Cities," "Christmas Stories," and "Pickwick Papers." With his portrayals, he depicts graphically the life and society of two eras, the England Dickens knew and the period leading up to the French Revolution. Tickets for the performance are now on sale at the Playmakers business office in Swain Hall. WThen called upon to make a curtain speech at the end of his last Broadway performance of the Dickens program, Williams con cluded his address, after announc ing he would return for another Broadway run following his current national tour, with these words: With your permission, I shall once level," declared the colonel," and again return to these garish lights; until tnen, l remain your oDeaienx servant." we have no way of knowing at the present." Dr. Sturgis E. Leavitt, Kenan professor of Spanish in the Univer sity, wil represent the United States again at a Latin America centenary during the coming week. He has been invited to Cuba to deliver one of the principal address es at the academic celebration Feb ruary 20-27 of the 100th anniver sary of Jose Marti, the great Cuban patriot and liberator. Dr. Leavitt, who will be accom panied by Mrs. Leavitt, will speak in Spanish on "Marti-Interpreter of the United States" at a Congress of WTiters interested in Marti to be at tended by delegates from European countries as well as all the South American nations. Marti came to the United States in 1881 to make his living as a writer, and for 14 years he wrote illuminating articles on all phases of North American life for news papers in his native Cuba and in a number of South American countries. The University Press, which has just published Manuel Pedro Gon zalez's book, "Jose Marti Epic Chronicler of the United States in the Eighties," says the patriot "served as the best interpreter be tween the two Americans ever known. Marti, the great Cuban pa triot, who lost his life in Cuba's fight for independence, belongs also to the United States, where he ived for 15 years." Dr. Leavitt's introduction in the Gonzalez book, says "more import ant than the picture of life in the United States is Marti himself. Gonzalez presents to the North Am erican public for the first time the figure of the great Cuban patriot and martyr ...
