NO. 124 Complete UPi Wire Service CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1959 Offices in Graham MevwriaX FOUR PAGES THIS ISSUE AEC Denies Bottling Information WASHINGTON ifi The At omic Energy Commission denied porously yesterday that it has hot t!xl up any information on radio active fallout. A IIC Chairman John A. McCone called also for a "government-wide review" of information policy on the sometimes deadly aftermath of nu clear explosions. He suggested a treating of all agencies concerned be held late in May. McCne appeared hefore the Sen-Me-Hou.e Committee on Atomic Energy after several Democratic m nators charged that the public has t en denied facts to which it is en title t on radiation hazards. Testimony by McCone and other W'.C and I)oiea-e Department wit- i.r.oses fa.h-d to convince one of the ( c:i!ies. Committee Chairman Clin ton Anderson iD-N.M, that data on radioactivity in the Atmosphere has rif.t been unnecessarily suppressed. Hut some committee members, including Son. Bourke 11. llicken !xper '!Mowa, contended there i danger ol puhlic hysteria if the I. r dings of scientists are made pub l,o b fore all thef acts are in and ho experts have agreed on their meaning. Hep. Gut ilohfield "It-Calif), (luirman of a subcommittee which .-"on will start hearings on the radia tion problem, said scientists' find ings should be weighed scientifical ly without regard for agreement merely for the sake of agreement. A key point in iie controversy is the disclosure by Anderson a few j days ago that some conclusions ! ;dout radioactivity were suppressed lit a time after AEC and Pentagon scientists came up with diffeiing Minutes. 11 Candidates Will Speak At Campus Political Rally Eleven candidates for the top positions in student government will appear in a campus wide poli tical rally Friday, April 3, at S p.m. in Gerrard II all.

Stokes said the rally is being held in hopes that the discussion will "eliminate much of the am biguity which is so apt to creep in Tar Heel statements and short room to room dorm campaigning.' Moderator of the rally will be Don Matthews of the Political Science Department. O'Tuel And Shumate Plan More Coverage "The Daily Tar Heel must cover a greater measure of the campus," co-editor candidates Harold O'Tuel and Hon Shumate asserted yester day. They went on to add that there is a great need for coverage of events of smaller groups, "such as minor sports, small organization meetings, faculty speeches and symposiums, fraternity, and sorority events." "This can be accomplished only through a larger staff," O'Tuel and Shumate declared. "At present The Daily Tar Heel possesses several fine reporters, but their participation is not on a daily ; basis," the co-editor candidates ex plained. "What is necessary is to try to get a full time staff nucleus of eight or nine top-nctch regular reporters, give them areas of coverage, and "in the finest tradition of journal istic honesty." He added that in the plans of O'Tuel and Shumate only "the edi torial page is reserved for a more personal, subjective voicing of the editors' opinions." "Even with regard to this very important page, however, both Har- otd and Hon have displayed a most significant interest in well-informed cemmentary and factual justification for their assertions," Robinson ex plained, i Dorm Officers Draw Attention From Edwards Rudy Edwards. IDC president. Tuesday urged dorm residents to fir.d candidates on April 7 for dorm offices who are interested and "will ir.tj to work for you."

Shumate added that special induce ments would be made for students to work on the paper, and that per sonal contacts would be made with the School of Journalism in order to get the journalism students to make use ol the taciuties or lne Tar Heel.

Iraq Leaves Baghdad Pact; Editors Told "Forget Nasser Withdrawal Young Campaign Staff Joined By Jan Cobbs f'atcrnity campaign co-ordinator of , mj0TC at the Naval Armory at Shumate and O'Tuel stated yester day. "Most important Ron and Har old will speak for the entire cam pus."

Thev will leave Chapel Hill at Davis Young, Daily Tar Heel edi orial candidate, announced Tues dsy that Jan Cobbs, president of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, has joined his campaign staff. In accepting a position on Young's staff, Miss Ccbbs issued the fol lowing statement: "It is interest ing to note that Harold O'Tuel and Ron Shumate have a letter ap pearing in today's issue of The Daily Tar Heel signed by 28 mem bers of the paper's saff. "In examining this letter, it is clear that not all of the elements cf the paper, and not all of the staff have signed. "O'Tuel and Shumate have said that one fo the main problems is that a larger staff is needed. Then a letter with 2C names turns up in t he paper. Somehow it appears that t.hey have many signatures on that '.etter from people who rarely work with the paper. "Note should also be taken of the play that O'Tuel and Shumate have received in the paper. When i Young was given the endorsement cf the University Party, a two col umn headline was attached to the story Expected Since July and Shumate were endorsed by the Student Party, Tuesday's paper had a five column headline. Isn't Young's UP endorsement equally significant. Obviously Young is be ing placed at a great disadvantage by such tactics. "It should also be noted that Young is the only candidate who has appeared before all three en dorsing groups, the SP, UP and Bi partisan Selections Board. "He has received two of those, the UP and that of the Bi-partisan Selections Board. He has also serv ed this year as an SP class prcsi dent. "His campaign has impressed many people so far. His promises to keep out of partisan politics seem to me only logical. I am happy to join his campaign staff." Young added, "There are only a handful of women students on campus who command the respect that Jan Cobbs does. "We are most happy to have her i with us on this campaign. Shumate and O'Tuel are most formidable op ponents. We will fight a hard clean campaign up to and including elec- "When on Monday night OTuel 1 tion day, as I am sure they will.

After the tests are held April 2, By STAN CARTER BAGHDAD, IRAQ Ml Iraq withdrew yesterday from the Bagh dad Pact, which both Nikita Khrush chev and Gamal Abdel Nasser de nounce. At the same time Premier Abdel Karim Kassem told Iraqi editors to "forget Nasser" and call off their attacks on the President of the United Arab Republic. "Do not waste time replying to criticism from abroad which doesn't bother us at all," Kassem said. The Baghdad Pact until last July linked Iraq to Britain, Pakistan, Iran and Turkey and indirectly to the United States. It was signed in 1955 as a defense against the spread of Communism to the middle east. Iraq's withdrawal had been ex pected since Kassem's forces over threw the monarchy eight months ago. Soviet Russia long has bitterly at tacked the alliance as a threat to peace in the Middle East. Nasser attacked it from the first as an in trusion by non-Arabs in the Middle East and a wedge in Arab unity. Recently Kassem has found him self in a cross-fire between Nasser and the communists. Iraqi officials charged that Nas ser's U. A. R. was behind the army revolt in northern Iraa two weeks ago. Moscow contended Nasser sought to force Iraq into the U.A.R. Nasser charged the Kassem was I coddling foreign communist agents seeking to undermine Arab solidar ity. Kassem told the editors today he would not answer Nasser's attacks on him. . a? so ' N interviews with counselor candidates will be held April 13 through 21. The students selected as counselors will attend three training sessions during the last week in April and first week in May. The counselors will return to UNC for orientation Sept. 11. Study manuals for the April 2 test are available in the Library, YMCA office and GM Information Desk. ) The editors have been playing up deunciations of the U.A.R. Presi dent since the mosul revolt. Some papers have called Nasser a dwarf Hitler in the pay of imperialists. ; The editors of Baghdad newspa ( pers are predominantly leftist since l crowds sacked allegedly pro-Nasser ' papers two weeks ago. Kassem said the Iraqi Press should not lower itself to the stand ard of the Egyptian Press, as he de scribed it. He showed a stack of clippings from Cairo and Beirut pa pers attacking him, and said: "Attacks have no effect on us. I per sonally don't bother about it. What they say does not harm us. It does not prevent us from following the course we set after the revolution. "Please educate the people, and do not waste time replying to criti cism from abroad. Don't say any thing about Nasser. Forget him." G. M.
