Thou sands of police and soldiers clamped a daylight curfew on Arab suburbs to halt the outburst of violence. The ambushing caused a wave of fury among Europeans in the west Algerian port city where ter ror attacks have been running at the rate of about one every 20 minutes in recent days. The Oran violence capped a day of terrorism in which at least 27. persons were killed and 37 were wounded throughout Algeria. It brought the total casualties since Jan. 1" to 1,043 killed and 1,786 1 wounded. The highway leading from Oran to the city airport was the main trouble spot. Hundreds of Moslems erected a road block with paving stones and attacked all European cars with stones and iron bars. Most of the ambushed drivers abandoned their cars and fled for their lives. But the mob chased three Europeans and a Moslem to a vacant lot and slit their throats. Troops and mobile gendarmes rustled to the scene, quickly dis persed the mob and cleared away the barricade. But the Arab bands roamed the area for sev eral hours and authorities finally imposed a curfew to impose calm. Earlier in the day, a group of more than 100 Algerians broke the pre-dawn curfew and shot up a government office in the same suburb of Oran.: - At nearby Sidi Bel Abbes, head quarters of the French Foreign Legion, several hundred Arabs ran riot after a bomb went off in front of a Moslem-owned store.

T.ie use of farm machinery has upset traditional movements of migratory labor, he said. "We plan to. reschedule... the movements of migrant workers to take advantage of the additional unemployment opportunities: in crops where the yield and labor requirements are expanding," Goodwin said. Goodwin indicated the ' low wages and poor working condi tions were the principal barriers to employment of more domestic workers in farm, jobs.

Student Solons Pass Resolution Against N-Tests Legislature Amends Election Laws The Student Legislature heard a speech by President Bill liar riss, passed an atomic testing reso lution, amended election district apportionment and revised election laws, bought a duplicating machine and passed several other bills Thursday night. Student Body President Harriss spoke on the election laws, the "Carolina Handbook," dorm social life, and campus improvements. The first business was Rep. Robin Britt's atomic testing reso lution to condemn Russia's last tests, support a U. S. move for a test ban and ask that the U. S. move for a test ban and ask that the U. S. not test unless neces sary for national security. The resolution was hotly debat ed for over an hour. Arguing both sides, representatives from both parties fought about whether the legislature had the authority to sponsor a resolution or should sponsor one. The resolution finally passed in a roll call vote 18 for, 15 against, one abstention. Rep. Bill Criswell's bill to pro vide a $600 scholarship for a Cu ban refugee was debated and then sent back to committee for fur ther examination. A reapportionment-bill amend ment, introduced by Rep. John Randall, to even up district repre sentatives was passed. (Dorm Men's 5, which has about 300 resi dents, had been given as many representatives as Dorm Men's 2, which has 690 residents.) Electing NSA delegates in the spring elections instead of appoint ing them was adopted in a bill sponsored by Rep. Randall. Appointing the Yack Editor in stead of electing him was also passed. Rep. Randall said that since the Yack editors needed technical qualifications, appoint ment would better assure compe tent editors. Rep. Wheless' bill requiring a finance committee report at every legislative session was passed. He said the Legislature needed to know exactly how much money they had. The Legislature bought the Stu dent Government a duplicating machine. Rep. Hays sponsored the bill, saying the machine would save time, money and effort. Since the machine prints in sev eral colors, it was named . "The Exotic Machine" by Vice-Presi dent Hank Patterson. The Representatives elected by acclamation Rep. Richard A k e r s as their Sergeant-at-Arms and two delegates to the Publications Board Rep. Dick Stapleton and Rep. Kippy Carter. In his "State of the Campus" speech, Pres. Harriss asked the Legislature to correct the reappor tionment bill (which they did) to give equal representation. He announced the new "Carolina Handbook," explaining that it was a combination of several previous publications. He expressed the hope that the new book would make fall orientation easier and give incoming freshmen a truer picture of Carolina. Urging the Legislature to im prove social facilities for dorm men, he said that this is one of the "areas that needs improving and, sadly enough, is hardest to improve." He outlined the University's im provement plan and urged con tinued work for a new student union. He said that the student government is working with Chan cellor Aycock and the Adminis tration on a building plan that stretched through 1970. Several new bills were postponed till the next session. Several com mittee reports were heard.

Glenn Jr. said Friday that whirling in orbit around the earth was "a very pleasant sensation that one could become addicted to" and could ' become addicted to" and predicted that future space flights will depend more heavily on the man aboard. "It was quite a day," the sun tanned 40-year-old Marine lieuten ant colonel said of the voyage that took him 157 . miles into space and 81,000 miles around the globe last Tuesday. Glenn, newly decorated by Presi dent Kennedy and the center of attention from thousands who welcomed him back to the coun try Friday, painted a dramatic picture of glowing sunsets, spark ling blue oceans and mysterious "space fireflies" a few of the scores of views he had from his space capsule. The spaceman also reflected briefly on a fearful moment to ward .the end of his four hour, 56 minute trip in which it seemed at the time he faced a possibility of flaming death on a blazing re entry through earth's atmosphere A signal from the capsuple he "named Friendship 7 indicated its heat shield a curved piece of metal and plastic designed to pro tect the spacecraft from the heat of atmospheric friction had separted from the craft. The sig nal later proved to be false. "It could have been a bad day all the way around," Glenn com mented. Enthusiastically Described Flight The astronaut was enthusiastic in describing most of the three orbit flight. "I don't know what you can say about four beautiful sunsets in the same day," he said about his favorite view of the trip. Glenn said that after the space ship had soared more than 100 miles above the earth and enter ed a state of apparent weightless ness at 17,000 miles an hour, "it was very peleasant. I enjoyed it very much. In fact, it's the sort of thing you could become ad dicted to." Glenn said he felt "no ill efects at all" during weightlessness. He said he tried several head movements very violently but that these too caused no ill effects. Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Ti- tov, who orbited the earth 17 times last August, reported later he became ill at about the sixth orbit. Glenn speculated that "probably over an extended period there might be some nausea." Weightlessness led to some curi ositics inside Friendship 7. The astronaut said that at one point he was using a hand camera to make pictures through his view ins window when he had to make a switch change on the instrument panel. He let the camera go and it hovered in the air. "It seemed just like the natural thing to do," he said with a smile. "We all adapt very rapidly to a situation. I suppose." But here gravity also has its problems. Lost Can Of Film Glenn recalled that a little can of film fell out of his fingers, "and when I tried to grab it I batted it and it fell behind the instrument panel. That's the last I saw of it." Glenn had no problem eating from a tube of food which he squirted into his mouth but had to forego one attempt at eating in the orbital flight fhen he be came involved with keeping Friendship 7 from wobbling be cause of difficulty with its auto matic control system. NASSER LEARNS LESSON CAIRO (UPI) President Ga mal Abdel Nasser told a mass rally Thursday night that the lesson learned from the breakup of the United Arab Republic was "never to compromise with reactionar ies."

Photo by Ralph Mangum Folk, Powell Win Goettingen Bids Michael James Folk and Robert Duane Powell have been selected as Goettingen Scholars for 1962-63, the Goettingen Selections Commit tee announced yesterday. The two juniors were selected mainly on the committee's judg ment on "how much they can con tribute to Goettingen University and to UNC upon their return," committee spokesman John Clinard stated. "Both showed keen interest in and good knowledge of the Goet tingen exchange program," Clin ard said. "The two also presented excellent academic records." Folk has been a member of the track and cross-country teams here for three years and placed fourth in the ACC cross-country stand ings as a sophomore. He earns all of his college ex penses by working as a computer programmer at the Computation Center. He also holds a student aid scholarship. He held an NROTC scholarship during his freshman year but was disqualified by poor eyesight. Powell, a physics major from Wilson, is a Morehead Scholar and has qualified for Dean's list three semesters. He is a member of Phi Eta Sigma honorary fraternity and Sigma Nu social fraternity. He has served as chairman of the GOP header Hits Odum Statement Earl Baker, UNC-YRC president yesterday stated that T. L. Odum's statement regarding justification of the Republican Party's exist ence in the state is "ridiculous on its face." "Since the Democratic Party has been entrenched in power in the state for decades," he added, "the state has consistently been at the bottom of the pile in educa tion, teacher benefits and stand ard of living. High-Tax-Terry's be lated program for the highly tout ed New Day is a tacit admission of this." Baker noted that the up-coming debate between the YRC and YDC will probably touch on these issues. The debate is on Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 7:30 in the Law School Courtroom, 210 Manning. Probable debaters for the YRC will be Earl Baker and Mack Armstrong; for the YDC, Johnny Killian and Joe Roberts. Odum said Baker's statement "typified the usual gripe, gripe, gripe of Republicans in this state." He added, "When Republicans in this state can show us that they could have done a better job, I will eat a pair of donkey's ears." The debate topic will be, "Re solved: That the one party system in Worth Carolina has been de- trimental.to the best interests of m dOzeris- ind Ifie stiti." i W ? til V. j i Carolina Forum and as a counselor with the Foreign Student Orienta tion program.

Officials here and in London said the Western leaders would reply within the next day or two to a lengthy and somewhat truc ulent note which they received from Khrushchev Thursday. In the 2,500-word note, Khrush chev renewed his bid for a March summit meeting, and questioned Kennedy's sincerity in going ahead with disarmament confer ence plans at a time when, ac cording to press reports, the United States was preparing to resume nuclear tests in the atr mosphere. Officials made clear that the U. S. and British governments will reject the new Soviet demand for a top-level meeting, and will stand firm on their previous assertion that the 18-nation disarmament talks in Geneva should begin March 14 on the foreign ministers level, w i t h a summit gathering possible later if progress warrants. U. S. officials said Khrushchev may be maneuvering to sabotage the entire disarmament confer ence if President Kennedy, as ex pected, announces early in March his decision to resume nuclear tests in the atmosphere." At the minimum, they said, Khrushchev is trying to build up world pressure against resump tion of U. S. testing, and to ex tract as much propaganda ad vantage as possible from the ex pected Kennedy decision. Kennedy has said that nothing will influence his decision on re newed testing except the results of a study which U. S. experts are now completing of the Soviet nuc lear tests last autumn.
