Oyalo Thondup, 31, estimated that ' far more than 50.000" irregulars are operating from remote areas of Kastern. Northern and Western Ti bet. TVy fight though they have ro way of getting weapons from the outside, he said. "Our pvople ore desperate and lhre is no help for them." said the 31 year-old elder brother of the exiled Tibetan God-King. "The Chi-i.t-se are very cruel.

S. Miami, Fla, uf Hurricane Gracie, gradually losing force, stuck today to its northwesterly course paralleling the Florida coast and appeared to be no longer a threat to this state. A Miami Weather Bureau advi sory at 11 am. (EST) said highest winds had dropped to 75 miles an hour, barely hurricane force, in ioualls over a small area near the center. They once whipped around the center at 100 miles an hour. Winds of 30 to 40 miles an hour extended 150 miles to the north and east and 50 miles to the southwest of the eye. The center was at latitude 26.9 r.orth, longitude 762 west, or 240 miles east of Palm Beach, Fla. Forecaster Walter Davis said the Wirm's path would bring it closer to the FloriJa coast. By midnight, re said, it is expected to be about 150 miles east of Cape Canaveral, l.ilt'way up the Florida peninsula. Then it could make a northerly turn, which would bring the Caro l.m.s into the hurricane's path, or i could continue to follow the con lour of the eastern Mainland. "Interests from central Florida to the CaroUnas should not relax," Davis said. Gracie was moving at about 9 miles an hour. Its 11 a m. location was 60 miles northeast of Great Abaco in the Bahama Islands. So far the hurricane has been skirting the outer edges of the Bahamas, which string out southeastward from the Florida coast. Khrushchev's Tour Ends With Note Of Washington. u- Nikita S. Khrush chev's tour around the United Siates ended Thursday in an intrigu ing mystery. The mystery is, did the people he met, the factories he 52 w, the fields he tramped and the politics he talkd make any real im pression on the Soviet Premier? President Eisenhower hopes to m some answer to this question in the course of his talks with Khrush chev at Camp David, Md., over the next three days. But there is considerable evidence to suggest that in Khrushchev's own view the far more important question is, what impact did he make on the people he talked to, juked with, and sometimes angrily shouted at? In essence the possibility which dominates the interest of some of the best informed U. S. officials in t.'if-ir studies of the remarkable phenomenon of the Khrushchev visit id that Khrushchev traveled the United States not to learn but to ti-ach. and that his thick, time hard-ent-d crust of Communist doctrine elfcctively insulated his mind atfainst any profound new impres sions of this country. On other points of speculation there i: less uncertainty in high official quarters over significant aspects of the Khrushchev trip. as guerrila fighters. He reported they are still blocking use of the highway into Tibet from the east. His estimate of more than 50, 000 is higher than that given by most Indian observers since the ex tensive Chinese offensives against resistance force this summer. A month ago the Dalai Lama told newsmen at his home in exile at Mussoorio, India, Tibet's struggle for freedom from Red rule had cost 80,000 lives. He has appealed to the United Nations for help, saying the Com munists brutally ma sacred thou sands in suppressing the Lhasa up rising last March and dispossessed thousands of others. He accused the Chinese of working to exterminate his people. Thondup declared that the Chi nese have killed more than 100, 000 Tibetans in recent years. He reported 20.000 persons, almost all Tibetans, were killed in the Lhasa uprising. He said he did not know how many Chinese were slain by the Buddhist priests and others protecting the Dalai Lama. Thondup was interviewed Thurs day two days before he flies to London. After a few days there, he is going to New York as a represen tative of the Dalai Lama to give U. N. delegates what he called a "true picture of what has been hap pening in Tibet." He reported the Chinese are con ducting extensive surveys of land ownership and populations. Through loudspeaker systems, posters and village meetings, they are telling the people they will introduce a system of communes next year. This is Red China's system of cen tralizing labor, at some cost to family life, for farm and industrial operations. Suspension Announced In Art Rental Program The University's Art Department announces with "great regret" a temporary suspension of the repro ductions rental service due to dam ages which have occurred from time and circulation. The department feels that pic tures in bad condition with seri ously distorted colors and poor frames should not be hanging in Ciiapel Hill. It is hoped that the collection can be put to rights, the prints re p.'aced, and new items added dur ing the fall semester. In that event the service will be resumed at the start of the second semester. A number of pictures have not been returned. Joseph C. Sloane, Art Department chairman, urges delinquent borrowers return the pic tures they hold. These points are notable: 1. By his persistent crusading for the Communist system, his cocky, even arrogant predictions of Red triumph, his temperamental out bursts of anger, Khrushchev on balance has probably hardened the conviction of millions of Americans that Khrushchev's Russia will con tinue for a long time to be an ex tremely dangerous, tricky, perhaps sinister rival. Hence, this reason ing goes, this country must keep its guard up while seeking cautiously for ways of easing the cold war. 2. Simply by his coming here and being received by Eisenhower, Khrushchev has probably succeeded in softening the attitudes of many foreign governments and peoples toward the Soviet Union. Some State Department authorities talk about his having gained a "mantle of re spectability by his U. S. reception. What they seem to mean is that for many countries in Africa and Asia and maybe even some in West ern Europe the spectacle of Khrush chev and Eisenhower shaking hands and talking together in friendly fashion is enough to blur the line between the antagonists and make many foreign leaders wonder wheth er they should water down their own hostility and try to buddyup to the Kremlin. 3. Insofar as basic policy consi People Too Large, Mrs. K. Declares PITTSBURGH, IT) Mrs. Nina Khrushchev demonstrated Thurs day that she tot only knows English but her own mind. During luncheon at the Uni versity of Pittsburgh, Chancel lor Edward II. Litchfield asked her what had impressed her about Pittsburgh today. "The people are so large," she replied. "Do you mean tall?" Litch field asked. "No," Mrs. Khrushchev said, "I mean big." Business Fraternities Rush Scheduled To Begin Sept. 28 Profesional Interfraternity Coun cil Chairman Erwin Fuller an nounced Thursday that rush for business fraternities will run Sept. 28, 29 and 30. The rush hours for both Delta Sigma Pi and Alpha Kappa Psi will be 7:30-9:30 p.m. each evening. Delta Sigma Pi is located 211 Pitts boro St. and Alpha Kappa Psi is 214 E. Rosemary St. Fuller noted that although rush invitations have been mailed out, the fraternities would be happy to see any student whether or not he received an invitation. All students enrolled in Business Administration or commerce cur ricula are eligible for membership. Both fraternities require at least sophomore status with a C average for initiation and brotherhood. Al though pledging requirements dif fer slightly, pledge training will be completed before the end of this semester. Fuller stated his belief that "pro fessional fraternities are a definite I asset to both the University and to the individual student contemplat ing membership. The entire group has similar educational concerns, strong bonds of friendship, and mu tual interests." The chairman stated that fre quent professional tours and dinner meetings with business leaders in all fields complement classroom knowledge. Varied programs of social activities promote fellowship among members. Petite Dramatique Tryouts Set Monday Tryouts for the roles in the Pe tite Dramatique's first production; "Waiting For Godot," a recent broadway play by Samuel Beckett, will be Monday at 7:30 p.m. in Roland Parker Lounge, Graham Memorial. Anyone interested but who cannot attend the meeting should contact either Sally Pullen at the Pi Beta Phi house or Douglas McDermott at 7-3565. Of U.S. Mystery derations are concerned Khrush chev apparently expects the United States, not the Soviet Union, to do the changing in order to make pos sible an end to the cold war. He evidently came here with that in tention and nothing which has hap pened on the tour has suggested any shifting of his attitude. His talk sbout disarmament, Berlin, peace ful coexistence and the ultimate triumph of Communism are in line with established Soviet political and propaganda policy. Eisenhower made no effort to camouflage his own hope that Khrushchev would gain strong new impressions of the United States, seeing it at first hand instead of from his Kremlin window, and would be inclined slowly and over a long period to modify his poli ces accordingly. The President is reported still to hold this hope and those who share it with him point out that Khrush chev cannot possibly sort and weigh his American experiences until he has a chance to get home. rest and talk with his associates and see what stands out in his mind. Yet in the Camp David talks he may give the President enough of his orf-the-cuff reactions to show whether Eisenhower's hopes In this respect have any basis in fact or must be discarded as fancy.

SlOW Enrol An Editorial Last night in th Planetarium, John Motley Morehead spon sored his annual banquet for Morehead scholars. In attendance along with Morehead and the scholars bearing his name were such dignitaries as Governor Luther H. Hodges, members of the University administration, state officials, and several members of the press. Due to an unfortunate oversight on the part of the More head Foundation and any other sponsors involved, The Daily Tar Heel was not invited to supply coverage of this significant event. In fact, the paper did not learn of the banquet until 6:18 last evening, twelve (12) minutes before the start of the mirth and merriment. We were informed only by a tipster, who an nounced that we might be interested in being there. No member of the Morehead Foundation, no Morehead Schol ar and no member of the University administration apparently thought to remember that this is a campus paper, interested in covering campus news. It is quite true that this paper might have been able to at tend the banquet even on such short notice. However, the policy of this paper is and will continue to be that we simply will not make the tremendous effort necessary to cover such events when all of the rules of common courtesy have been denied to us. No paper in the world pretends to have all of the answers or a pipeline to the local oracle. For all of the effort this paper makes to give adequate coverage, we simply cannot meet our proper obligations without cooperation from those desiring coverage. It is certainly unfortunate that Mr. Morehead's banquet could not be written up this morning. It is even more unfortunate that we are unable to properly publicize an event sponsored by a man who has given so much to this University. We are willing to send a reporter to any place at any time. We cannot, however, be expected to gaze into a crystal ball and mystically figure out that the Morehead Banquet is being held on a Thursday night at 6:30. We are reporters, not mind readers. The Morehead Foundation, and all other organizations should learn a lesson from this. Our apologies to Mr. Morehead.

Nominations will be Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in Gerrard Hall. The Executive Board has re viewed and approved an amend ment to the UP by-laws regarding district nominations and will bring it before the party meeting Oct. 6 Th amendment states that there are a great many nominations to be made to the legislature this spring and consideration should be given to each nominee; therefore, a new system was designed. This system allows party mem bers from each legislative district to choose their own legislative candidates. This will mean that members of the party from a dis trict will know the nominees and in fluence from outside the district will be minimized. The meeting Oct. 6 will clarify all phases of the proposed amend ment.
