CHAPEL HILL, NORTHCAROUNATtUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1964 Founded Feb. 23, 1893 Associated Press Wire Service nn Are Promoted To Trustees Squelch NCS Name Change Soviet Russia's Presidium University Expands; 1 iL nree 1 ' ' ' , o v ' Hi l - - ! - f -' : " : " ' t S'VK - 1 MOSCOW (AP) A month after ousting Nikita S. Khrushchev, the Soviet Communist Party's Cen tral Committee elevated three of its leaders to its highest council Monday and decreed important personnel and policy changes. The actions were taken at a one-day secret meeting of the committee. Alexander N. Shelepin, 46, for- No Policy Change Seen By Professor By JOHN GREENE ACKER DTII Staff Writer Dr. Robert Rupen, associate professor of Political Science and an authority on the Soviet Union, said yesterday the new appoint ments to the , Soviet Presidium gave the "idea of continuity" to Soviet administrative policy. The promotions of Petr Shelest and Aleksandr Shelepin, both members of the "Ukranian" fac tion in Soviet government and closely linked with the rise of former Premier Khrushchev, in dicated "no change in internal policy," according to Rupen. Shelest, until yesterday a can didate member of the Presidium, is a former member of the Ukran ian Communist Party Presidium and Secretary for the Ukranian Party. Shelepin was a Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party and head of the Party State Control Com mittee, a Khrushchev innovation with wide-sweeping powers which acted as an inspector-general for all phases of Soviet Government. The promotion of Petr Demi chev to candidate membership of the Presidium also indicated the continuation of what Rupen term ed "the rational economics of Khrushchev." Demichev is currently a secre " tary of the Soviet Communist Party in charge of light industry and chemicals, and his promotion is regarded by Rupen as a boost for consumer goods advocates over military advocates. "The increased emphasis on chemicals, plastics, and fertiliz ers in the Soviet economy was a big Khrushchev program," Rupen said. Rupen took particular note of the ., dropping of Khrushchev's "Sovnarkhoz" plan by the Presi dium, the only Khrushchev leg acy to suffer in the shakeup. The Sovnarkhoz plan was a pro gram designed to group various sections of the Soviet Union into agricultural and industrial blocks with one over-all administrative head of each. The plan was viewed by . many rank and file party workers as an attempt to undermine the au thority of local party organiza tions, according to Rupen, and its removal indicates the degree of friction within the party which it caused. "The dropping of the Sovnark hoz plan may mean that it was a major factor in Khrushchev's re moval," Rupen said. The removal of Vasilii Polyakov as head of the Central Committee Bureau for Agriculture was not UNC's NEW GYMNASIUM begins to spread out like a giant cobweb as the final supporting beams' and girders so up. This aerial photo gives a gcod I mer head of the State Security Committee (KGB), the secret po lice organization, was promoted to the committee's ruling Presi dium. He already was a member of the party's Secretariat. Only three other men, including Brezh nev, now are members of both bodies. Pyotr Shelest, from the influen tial Ukraine Republic, was ele- ifc viewed by Rupen with great sur prise. "Agriculture people . are always in trouble," he said. "The fall harvest was good this year, however," he said, "so we will have to examine this close ly." "I would be cautious in saying the heavy industry proponents of the Soviet Union have lost out," he said, "but we have seen that the military didn't get ahead in the change-over." Rupen noted also that the neo Stalinists and ideologists who fol low Presidium member Mikhail Suslov did not gain in the ap pointments. The announcement that Presi dium member Nikolai Podgornyi, another "Ukranian," had official ly proclaimed the new appoint ments gave further indication that the Ukranian faction had strengthened its position. Rupen noted the similarity in the careers of Shelpin and Vladi mir Semichastnyi," Shelepin's re placement as head of the Party State Control Committee. Both men have done extensive work with Soviet ' youth groups and are former heads of the So viet secret police. - Semichastnyi may follow his su perior up the ladder of leader ship. - "Both Demichev and Shelepin are 46 years old," Rupen said. "They are both in prime positions for top leadership in the future." Fall Germans Tickets Go Up For Grabs The Germans Club is offering a limited number of tickets to all students, including freshmen, to its folksinging concert this week end. Tickets will be on sale at Y Court today and tomorrow from 12 to 1 p.m. Price is $6. This year's concert features Canadian folksingers Ian and Sylvia and the Brothers Four. Ian Tyson and Sylvia Fricker, both of Toronto, have worked to gether since 1961, when . they were hired by a Toronto folk club. The Brothers Four, Bob Flick, Mike Kirkland, John Paine and Dick Foley, are fraternity broth ers from the University of Wash ington. idea of how the present vated to the Presidium from can didate membership. Pyotr N. Demichev, 46, a party secretary specializing in light and chemical industries, became a candidate member of the Presi dium. The Central Committee dropped Frol R. Kozlov, once regarded as a top aide to Khrushchev, from the Presidium, explaining that the reason was Kozlov's physical incapacity. Kozlov was felled by stroke, last year. Then Central Committee gave no explanation for dropping Vas ily I. Polyakov from his post as a member of the party Secretari at. Polyakov specialized in agri culture, Khrushchev's favorite field and the field of Khrush chev's most noteworthy failures. The party also dismissed Khru shchev's son-in-law, Alexei Adzh ubei, from membership in the Central Committee. Adzhubei, former editor of the government newspaper Izvestia, was expelled from the committee "for errors committed in his work." The committee also decided to abolish structural changes in the party instituted by Khrushchev. It reversed the Khrushchev reor ganization which had divided party committees into parallel organizations to specialize in ag riculture and industry. This Khrushchev reform had been re ported causing widespread con fusion and dissatisfaction among the party rank and file. The resolution of reunification of the " parallel organizations of the party said it was "considered necessary to return to the prin ciple of construction of party or ganizations and their directing or gans along territorial-production lines." The committee ordered party units at regional and dis trict levels to merge again into consolidated units as they had been before December, 1962. The ordr is effective next month. . Nikolay V. Podgorny, 59, tough former party boss of the Ukraine and a member of the ruling par ty Presidium, seemed to have moved up a notch. He was chos en by Brezhnev to make the re port detailing these changes to the Central Committee, an indica tion that he was close to the top in the administration of the party. Brezhnev had been given similar duties under Khrushchev. However, Shelepin's elevation seemed a clear indication that this fast-rising party official also was in an important position in the post-Khrushchev reorganiza tion. He rose to influence through the ranks of the Komsomols ( Young Communist League) of which he was first secretary for six years. Shelest long was a lieutenant of Podgorny in the Ukraine. He also has served on the Supreme Soviet (Parliament) Budget Com mission. He is a metallurgist associated with heavy industry. Demichev has been a Central Committee secretary since 1960. He formerly was chief of the Moscow city party. The 175-member Central Com mittee's meeting was its first since Brezhnev met last week with foreign Communists and rep resentatives of the Chinese party on the split in the world move ment. It was not known whether the committee was filled in on the talks, and the brevity of the session suggested that there had ..(Continued on Page 3) V-V v ' ..

Deputies escorted Mr. Rinaldi from the jail to the courtroom. Photo by Jock Lauterer Defense Witness Called 'Prejudiced' By Cooper HILLSBORO (AP) The testi mony of a key witness in the first degree murder trial of Frank Rinaldi was called "biased and prejudiced" Monday by District Solicitor Thomas B.. Cooper Jr. He made the statement after Judge Raymond Mallard had sent the jury from the courtroom while a point of law was dis cussed. Cooper requested permis sion to ask John F. Sipp, an in surance agent and friend of Ri naldi, if he had refused to take a lie detector test. Judge Mallard refused the re quest, ruling the question would be incompetent and "constitutes error." The action came during the second week of the trial of Ri naldi, for former UNC English in structor charged with killing his pregnant wife last Christmas Eve. Mrs. Rinaldi, a native of Wa terbury, Conn., was severely beaten about the face and head before she was strangled, accord ing to a pathologist, Dr. N. F. Rodman. Cooper told Judge Mallard he felt he was justified in request ing permission to ask Sipp if he had refused to take a lie detec tor test. He said Sipp refused to cooperate with officers. A defense attorney, Gordon Battle, told Judge Mallard the question about a lie detector test is so prejudicial it would entitle the defendant to a mistrial. Earlier, Sipp told the jury Ri naldi was away from him only Eliriiigliaus Leading; Ugly Men Ehringhaus' entry in the Ug liest Man on Campus Contest, Frank "Honeybun" Hodges, leads the pack, followed by Pat Feagan "The Aycock Aardvvolf" and Mike Siwik "The Mangum Paci fist." .

PROGRAM TONIGHT k The .

He said Rinaldi left him five times during the trip, twice to go to a rest room. He added the longest was about five minutes. Sipp, a mustached middle-aged man, said he picked up Rinaldi in his foreign made station wag on at the Rinaldi apartment in Chapel Hill about 8:45 a.m. 4 Christmas1 Eve day. They return ed .between 1:35 and 1:45 p.m.,-he said.' . Under cross examination, Coo per asked, "What did Rinaldi say when he got into the car?" Sipp replied, "Together again, baby." The solicitor wanted to know the implication of these words. "We were good friends," an swered Sipp, adding that the word "baby" was "a common term." "Between men?" Cooper ask ed. "Yes." "You mean with that crowd you ran around with?" This brought an objection from defense attorneys and Judge Mallard sus tained it. Later Cooper asked if Mrs. Rinaldi's body had been put into the vehicle before they they left to go to Durham. "No," Sipp re plied. A Negro handyman, Alfred L. Foushee of Durham, testified last week he was asked repeatedly last year to kill Mrs. Rinaldi for a price. During testimony Monday, So licitor Cooper asked Sipp if Ri naldi was a homosexual. This brought a strong objection from the defense and Judge Mallard unheld it. Cooper then asked Sinn if Rinaldi had ever made advances toward him. He re plied, "Certainly not." The solicitor followed with the question as to whether he had ever made an advance to Rinaldi. This also brought a negative re ply. The defense promptly sent three witnesses to the stand wio testi fied Sipp's character was good. SiDp said that when he and Rinaldi returned to the apart ment from the shopping trip, Ri naldi unlocked the door. He add ed, "We both looked into the apartment and saw this scene. Lucille was lying on the floor, her face down, both of her arms were at her sides. Her pocket book was at her left. Some of the contents were scattered. The lamp was overturned." "What did you do then?" asked Battle. "I went to Lucille and knelt down," he replied. "I reached down and removed her right hand from under her thight and ' felt her wrist.. There was a knot in a scarf about her head. I untied the knot and called the Chapel Hill police. That was about 1:45 p.m." Asked what Rinaldi's first state ments were, Sipp said, "We both stood there for a few seconds. Then Frank started talking, mumbling incoherently, 'Oh God, go see what happened. He kind of pushed and nudged me into the room." Battle wanted to know if Sipp saw a letter in the apartment. He replied he did. When asked if he remembered the contents of the letter, the state raised an objection which was sustained. I Charlotte Will Join iy ami GREENSBORO (AP) Trustees of the Consolidated University of North Carolina voted here Monday to make Charlotte College a part of the University system, effective July 1, 1965. The motion, made by State Sen. Irwin Belk of Charlotte, carried overwhelmingly on a vcice vote. Only one trustee, W. C. Harris Jr. of Raleigh, spoke against the proposal. The trustees unanimously re jected two proposals by the North Carolina State Alumni Association. One was to change the name of North Carolina State of the Uni versity of North Carolina at Raleigh. The other was to change the present method of selecting University trustees. Frank Parker of Asheville pre sided in the absence of Gov. Terry Sanford, who is out of the state. The meeting was at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. If the 1965 General Assembly gives its approval, Charlotte Col lege, which has 1,512 students, will become the fourth campus of the consolidated University. It wil! be called the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. A 15-member council on edu cational policy spent eight months studying the proposal of the trustees of Charlotte College that it be merged with the Univer sity, and then recommended the merger. President William Friday of the Consolidated University said it must expand to take care of the flood of high school grad uates. "The enrollment bulge the ex perts have been predicting is here," Friday said. He. said there are 93,000 stu dents enrolled in North Carolina colleges this fall. But if present trends continue, Friday said, in 1975 the college enrollment will be 205,000, or an increase of 120 per cent, if there is any place to put that many students. "We believe these figures make the establishment of a four th campus mandatory," Friday said. Harris said he was . against making Charlotte College a part of the University because he did not believe the state has the money to expand the University system without lowering its quality. 1 "I believe we need to improve the three campuses we now have," Harris said. "Is the Uni versity seeking quality or quan tity?" Thomas Pearsall of Rocky Mount, chairman of the com mittee that studied the question of expanding the University, de fended the proposal. He said there is a pressing need for a branch of the University in the Charlotte area. Sorry GirlsShoe Time LONDON (AP) The wealthy father of three teen-age girls who hate shoes told them Monday the time had come to stop going barefoot. "After all," said stockbroker Edward Willis-Fleming, "You're big girls now." His daughters are Elizabeth, 19; Diana, 18, and Lorna, 16. Said Elizabeth: "We've gone barefoot almost continuously since we were babies and we don't care what daddy says, we're not going to stop now." The Willis-Flemings live at Bracknell in Berkshire. People nearby have grown accustomed to seeing the girls going about in public minus shoes. Discussing the problems of shoe-hating, Elizabeth said: "I say that deep in the heart of every girl is a desire to take off her shoes. After all, shoes are so uncomfort able." With her sisters nodding agreement, Elizabeth went -on: "Mummy says we've all got hideous feet and she doesn't understand why we show them, but she doesn't understand cither." The girls are not shoeless, however. "We never wear them for dancing, or in the train," explained Elizabeth, "but sometimes ou- bare feet upset people, so when in London we take along shoes just in case." She said that in smart restaurants she has been asked by the head waiter to put on her shoes. Said the father: "I'm getting very fed up with this barefoot business. It's corny. Anyhow, they've got about 40 pairs of shoes between them. I know. I paid for them. Now I'm going to insist that they wear them." 1 ILn J 11 "A great tide of North Caro linians has moved into the Pied mont; the times are changing," Pearsall declared. "If we vote for this proposal it will be the most significant thing this board of trustees has done in the past 100 years." Victor Bryant of Durham, chairman of a special subcom mittee of the Executive commit tee, read a report on the two proposals of the North Carolina State Alumni Association. He reviewed the history of the long fight in the 1963 General Assem bly over changing the name of what was formerly called North Carolina State College. Bryant said his subcommittee and the Executive Committee concluded that any effort to change the name of the school "would create a highly contro versial situation involving a pub lic contest with a result seriously detrimental to the welfare of the entire University." Bryant recommended that if the name is changed, however, that it be called the University of North Carolina at Raleigh. That was the name originally recommended by the Governor's Commission on Education Beyond the High School. The name change the Alumni Association wants, Bryant said, "is illogical . . . and would con tinue the confusion which at U.S. Refuses Pledge To U.N. Special Fund UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (AP) The United States refused Mon day to make "a 1965 money pledge to the U.N. special fund and ex panded program of technical aid pending a solution to the U.S. Soviet crisis over overdue peace keeping assessments. As principal contributor the United States normally pledges 40 per cent of the total raised by voluntary contributions to the two major U.N. programs for help to economically handicapped na tions. U.N. Ambassador Franklin H. Williams spelled out the U. S. position at the annual pledging conference where France and a number of other countries in- times has prevailed alout the relationship between the units of the University." He took note of reports that unless the trustees adopted the name change the Alumni Asso ciation proposed, the Association would go to the General Assem bly and get the name of the Ral eigh school changed anyway. Bryant conceded that the Gen eral Assembly has the power to make the change. "But unless it should appear that the board of trustees has abused its discretion, it might be well hoped that the General Assembly, although it has the power to do so, might refrain from substituting its judgment for that of the board in those areas theretofore delegated to the board," Bryant said. Next Bryant took up the Alum ni Association's proposal to chc each campus of the University 32 members of the board of trustees, or 96 trustees in all. At present, there arc 100 trust ees who supposedly represent all sections of the University. The proposed change, Bryant said, would "surely promote jealousy, bickering, and infernal friction. This we do not need." When the vote come, the trustees backed up Bryant. They adopted his report, rejecting both Alumni Association propo sals. creased their pledges by a con siderable amount but not enough to overcome a gap left by the U. S. action. The target for 1965 is $130 mil lion. For the current year W.) countries have pledged or paid $137,100,000 including the United States. Last year's pledging conference raised $74,663,616, not counting the U. S. pledge. It was apparent that the pledges today would exceed that figure. The Soviet Union pledged the same for 1965 as last year 2, 700,000 rubles, or the equivalent of $3 million. It was subject to the same restrictions that it be used to pay only Soviet technici ans employed in the two pro grams. In announcing the pledge Soviet Delegate Nikolai T. Federenko made no reference to the U. S. announcement, but said on!y that his country favored U.N. opera tions "carried out in accord with the U.N. charter." "In view of circumstances wi'.ii which members are familiar, my government is not in a position to make a pledge for 1965 at this time." Williams told the delegates in the General Assembly Hall. "We have every. hope that de velopments will make it possible for us to announce a substantial pledge in the near future." Thi, wag a reference to priv ate diplomatic efforts now going on to resolve the deadlock over payment of past due assessments for peacekeeping. The Soviet Union is two years in arrears on Middle East arrl Congo peacekeeping assessments. The United States conten ts th.-t under Article 19 of the U N. Char ter the Soviet Union and cicht other nations in a similar situa tion must lose their assembly vote. France will be two years in arrears on Jan. 1 becau-e f failure to pay Congo assess ments. Both Moscow and Paris contend that the assessments ore illegal because they were r re proved by the General Assembly instead of the Security Council. "The United States government has always given the most sym pathetic consideration to the re quirements of the expanded pro gram of technical assistance and the special fund," Williams scid.
