The YA Uvy (SP UP) bill to fcrnd telegrams to the governor of Arkansas and Virginia concern ing school integration was defeat ed by the legislature Dec. 4. But the hill was reconsidered after Cray Creer (SI') amended it to provide for sending registered letters instead of telegrams and modified the wording of the mes sage on Jan. 8 The Way and Means Commit tee passed it unfavorably this week. The action, which was no unanimous, was taken due to re cent developments in Virginia. Several members of the Com mittec objected to the presenta tion of the hill to Legislature with out removal of (1) the Almond communique, while retaining the Faubus letter and (2) the financial provision which authorizes th" sending of telegrams, since it ha been modified to send letters. Jim Crownovcr (SP) presented a bill at the last meeting of Leg islature to establish a Campus Af fiirs Board. The Doard would re place the miscellaneous commit tees which are appointed by the student body president throughout th year to deal with various pro- tcms. Committees have been set up in the past for such matters as the student dining hall, study areas, fraternity parking problem and bicycle racks. The Board. If the bill is sanc tioned, would consist of 10 mem bers and a chairman appointed by the president of the student body. AlJ.bills dealing with campus wel fare passed by the Legislature would be referred to the newly created Board. In action on the bill, the Ways and Means Committee changed the name of the Board to Campus Affairs. In the bill, it was called CamDus Welfare. The Committer lo defined more clearly the now ers, organization and assumption of duties of the Board. A bill, presented by Norman Smith (ind ) on Jan. 8, to present to the student body a referendum proposing an amendment to the student constitution which will dis tinguish personal honor from re commended duty is being with held indefinitely. According to Smith, new propo sals for the restructuring of the entire Judicial system will either include or preclude the sugges tions of the bill. legislature will also elect a seaker pro tern and a new chair man of the Rules Committee to night.

The resolution passed by a un animous vote of the Council body. The action came following the recent outbreak of telephones be ing ripped from dormitory walls. Last Thursday night eight tele phones were torn from their places. Four of these were in Con nor, three in Cobb and one in Winston. One IDC member reported that the receivers were torn from the wires in his dorm, but the coin boxes were not bothered. Only one uf the missing receivers has turn ed up at Ihe present time. Rudy Edward, IDC president, said "We have good reason to be lieve that only one or two per sons are doing the damage." Edwards said that the IDC is currently tracing several "tips" as to the identity of the assailans. In commenting earlier in the week on the situation, Edwards -.aid he feels that the offense "is serious enough to demand expul .ion from the University.'" Earlier in the year several tele- nhones were jerked off a wall in Cobb dorm, where the offenses have been more frequent. A representative from the Chap el Hill telephone company was ori ginally scheduled to speak to the council, but due to prevailing cir cumstances he did not speak. Ed wards said the representative would discuss the matter at next week's meeting. (The body voted to hold their next meeting Wed., Feb. 11, in stead of the next regularly sche duled meeting date, which fell oa the same night as the Carolina State basketball game.)

In House Underway RALEIGH m Legislative cir cles buzzed Wednesday with a re port that Gov. Hodges had offered Rep. Addison Hewlett a Superior Court judgeship that would have taken Hewlett out of his successful race for the House speakership. Neither Hodges nor. Hewlett would comment on the report. The Superior Court judgeship in lewlett's judicial district became vacant last week when Gov. Hodges named Judge Clifton L. Moore? of Burgaw an Associate Justice of the State Supreme Court. The Governor appointed Rudolph I. Mintz of Wil mington to the post. I t Hewlett was ehosen Speaker Tues day night as the climax of a hotly contested race with Rep. Carl Ven- ers of Onslow. Venters was an .'ad ministration stalwart in the 1957 General Assembly, serving as chair man of the important Appropriations Committee. The Governor insisted throughout the race which began nearly two years ago that he was neutral and would not take sides in he contest. Hewlett was asked whether he would confirm or deny the report. He then reiterated he had no com ment, adding, "The speakership race is over. Let's all get together." He said he was determined to work for the best interests of the state and he felt that was the Governor's attitude. One legislator, who asked that his name not be used, said flatly Hew lett had been offered the judgeship and turned it down. One Venters supporter said the re port of the offer spread like wild life in the closing days of the speak ership race. "Til bet it cost us 6 to 8 votes," he added. Ironically, one Hewlett man said the report had cost their side votes, too.

Hip-1 Teachers Threatened, Says Negro Educaton RALEIGH UP) A Negro edu cation officials aid Wednesday sev eral Negro teachers in North Caro lina have been threatened with loss of their jobs for taking stands on civil rights issues. Executive Secretary W. L. Greene of the North Carolina Teachers Committee Will Select ABC Sites A three-man committee will be chosen within the next few weeks to determine the location of ABC stores and to select the personnel to work in them. R. J. M. Hobbs, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, said yesterday the Board of County Commissioners and the Board of Education are required by law to meet and choose the three-man com mittee. Don Stanford, a member of the Board of County Commissioners, said the statute actually requires that the County Board of Health meet with the other two board;; to aid in the selection of the ABC com mittee. Since Orange County has no Board of Health, only the commis sioners and the members of the education board will make selections. the Woman's Handbook Editorship Is Open Junior girls may apply for editor ship of the Woman's Handbook through Feb. 13.

Let Convoy LARESE GETS 32 HeelsTop Terps 64-5 7 fly RUSTY HAMMOND Carolina's nationally second ranked Tar Heels rolled over de fending ACC champ Maryland here last night as sophomore York La rese scored half the team's points in a 64-57 win. Larese, who wound up with 32 counters, got 19 of them in the second half. He was deadly all night with his fall-away jump and hit several lay-ups to boot. The victory pushed surprising Carolina to a 13-1 season record and an unbeaten 8fl mark in the conference. In a last minute surprise, Doug Moe started and played most of the game. Tuesday it was reported he was on the doubtful list due to an injured foot. He wasn't effec tive as usual, though, only get ting 4 points. Maryland managed to stay fair ly close to Carolina until the clos ing minutes of the first half when the Tar Heels really poured it on. Things stayed fairly even until 6 straight points by Dick Kepley put Carolina ahead 15-10. But the lead was short-lived as Maryland hit 7 straight of its own to go ahead 19-17. Maryland led 23-22 with 4:21 on the clock, but after Salz's jump at 3:41 made it 24-23 Carolina, the Tar Heels were never headed for the rest of the game. The score stood 30-27, Carolina, with 1:46 to go, but then Salz, La rese, and Moe each hit a driving Assn. indicated that intimidation has been used to silence teachers' civil rights activity since the state re pealed the teachers' Tenure Law in 1955. Because of this the Negro educa tion group included in its legislative program a proposal to assure the tenure of teachers who are other wise qualified. Chairman James T. Taylor of the association's legislative committee said the proposed law would be "de signed to protect the jobs of teach ers who may be intimidated in civil rights issues." Another item in the program would make it a criminal offense to intimidate by threat or violence communities in the process of de segregating their public schools. Other proposals: To divide Escheats funds equally among all institutions of higher learning instead of passing them off to the University of North Carolina. Escheats money comes from pro perty whose ownership cannot be determined. To pay teachers for the week pre ceding and the week following school terms. To provide sick and maternity leave for teachers and principals. To provide sufficient school buses to eliminate overcrowding and sec ond trips. To eliminate advisory committees in school districts.

Carolina experienced little diffi culty in keeping at a safe distance through most of the game, though Maryland pulled within 6 at 42-36 and later scrapped to within 5 at 59-54 with 3:08 in the game. But a free throw by Larese and two more by Salz gave the Heels the lead they needed to go on and (See TAR HEELS, page 4 col. 1) Honor Council Convicts One For Cheating One student was cleared and an other was convicted on cheating charges by the Men's Honor Council Tuesday night. Hugh Patterson, Council chairman, said yesterday that a student ac cused of using notes in a classics examination was cleared of ail charges.

WRC DeJbafes Lafe Grants After Games By BARBARA DEANS Possible late permission for coeds after major basketball games was discussed by. the Women's Resi dence Council yesterday. -The idea was referred to a com mittee. As the proposal stands the WRC would decide before each game whether or not it merits late permission. In co-operation with the Infirmary the WRC will erect a "Have You Signed Out?" sign at the Infirmary's admissioas desk. This is being done in an effort to decrease the number of coeds who forget to sign out when going to the Infirmary.

Adams, professor of. omm BP ugh HELMSTEDT, GERMANY UPV Under sharp attack by the United ? States, Soviet authorities yesterday turned loose a U. S. Army truck convoy they had held in East Ger many for 53 hours. The four-truck convoy and its five grim soldiers rolled into West Ger many, past the checkpoint on the border between East and West Ger many, at 6:12 p.m. yesterday. That was after the U. S. State Department, backed by President Eisenhower, had delivered a stiff protest in Moscow against any in terference with the Western Allies access to Berlin. The convoy, en route from Berlin to West Germany, was detained Monday afternoon within sight of the East-West border. The Soviet Army demanded an in spection of the cargoes. But Findley Barns Jr., political adviser to the U. S. Army Mission in East Berlin who came here for the final negoti ations said the Russians were not allowed to inspect the inside of the trucks. The United States thus won a point in its efforts to prevent the Rus sians from gradually clamping a stranglehold on the highway supply line to Berlin, isolated 1)0 miles be Iiind the Iron Curtain. The detention of the trucks was fast ballooning into a major diplo matic crisis when the Russians gave in. Following three U. S. Army pro tests yesterday in Berlin and Frank furt, President Eisenhower an nounced io his news conference to day that a vigorous demand was being made by the State Department for release of the convoy. He said the Untied States never had allowed VlP Rnccianc inennotinn Snrr. The State Department note re leased later called the Russian ac tion "unwarranted and inadmissa ble." Refusal to let the trucks through without inspection, it said, was a "clear violation" of American rJghts, under fenr-power agreements since 1945, to free access to Berlin.
