It's late on a warm, restless
December night. You're hung up
and bored. And there's nothing in
Chapel Hill that you haven't done
before.
So try going to the airport to.
watch planes take - off and land.
The road to the Raleigh - Dur
ham Airport is about 17 miles or so
of asphalt pavement which winds,
dips and rises through the red clay
footthills of the Piedmont.
-
There's not much traffic late at
night, so you drive fast.
You can see the lights as you
near the airport: the rectangles of
blue bulbs marking the landing
strips, the spotlight beam piercing
the warm darkness.
As you pull into the parking lot
there's a ticket dispenser which
spits out small, blue, time - pun
ched tickets when you press its
button. Press it and the machine
buzzes until you pull the ticket
from its lips.
The parking lot at Raleigh -Durham
is about the same size as
"The Pit" out by Morrison and
Craige Residence Halls.
Traffic isn't very heavy at night
and, if you want to, you can sit
in your car and sip gin from a ther
mos bottle while you talk to your
' date of war and peace, people you
know, professors' quirks.
When you decide to get down to
some serious plane - watching, you .
-go inside the terminal and up a
flight of stairs to the observation
deck.

RALEIGH (AP) Gov.
Dan Moore Friday threw cold
water on a legislator's pro
posal that he call a special
session of the General Assem
bly to deal with problems pre
sented by the State Supreme
Court's brown bagging deci
sion. The governor's office said
Moore "has received no re
quest for a special session
and he has not seen evidence
of any real sentiment for a
special session."
Meanwhile, Charlotte attor
ney Michael Plumides said he
plans- to file an action Mon
day in the State Supreme Court
to delay enforcement of the
brown - bagging decision.
Plumides would not divulge
the type of court action he
had in mind.
The decision said liquor can
be consumed legally only in
one's home and ruled out
brown-bagging, the practice of
taking liquor to restaurants,
clubs and private homes.
State ABC Board Chairman
Clawson Williams has said that
ABC officers will begin enforc
ing the decision across the
state on Tuesday, the day af
ter it is certified in Mecklen
burg Superior Court. The case
which brought the ruling ori
ginated in Mecklenburg.
Officers in other parts of
the state, however, already are
enforcing the ruling which the
court said has been the law
since 1937.
A South Carolina woman,
Mrs. Armida Rezzola Law,,
was arrested Thursday night
in the lounge of a Winston
Salem motel and charged with
possession of intoxicating li
quor in a public place. Offi
cers said they found she had
whisky in a soft drink bottle
in her handbag. Mrs. Law,
wife of a Spartanburg, S. C.
physician, failed to show up
for trial Friday.
The special session of t h e
General Assembly was urged
by Rep. James G. Exum Jr.,
of Guilford. He said the go
vernor should give "serious
consideration" to calling a
special session the first week
of January.
". . .We know that this pro
blem has to be dealt with,"
Exum said. "And it could
wind up requiring so much
time in the regular session of
the legislature that it would
create a bottleneck. A speci
al session would get it out of
the way and leave the regular
session for other business.
"I feel that the majority of
the people in North Carolina
as well as the majority of our
legislators will want to amend
our present statutes so as to
make clear the proposition
that people who legally pur
chase whisky from ABC stores
can carry it wherever they
choose," Exum added. "And
further, that legally purchased
whisky can be served at pri
vate parties and private
clubs."
Meanwhile, State Rep.-elect
Bargrove Bowles Jr., got lit
tle encouragement when he
asked the Guilford County
commissioners to back his pro
posal that Guilford be allow
. ed to have liquor by the drink
on a local option basis. Bowles
said he would introudce such
legislation if the commission
ers want it.
Willard A. Gourley Jr., a
member of the board's Re
publican majority," said, "we
see no reason to do to do
anything at the moment. In
talking with the other com
missioners, we decided we had
enough controversial issues
and were glad we weren't go
ing to be stuck with this one."
Heat Wave Ends
A Canadian cold front
should hit the Chapel Hill
area sometime Sunday and
bring an end to this week's
"unusually warm weather,"
Raleigh-Durham Weather Bu
reau forecaster W. E. Cole
said Friday.
Temperatures in the area
will return to their seasonal
normal high about 50 and
low around 30 the early
part of next week. The front
is expected to bring rain in
stead of snow, Cole said.
Yesterday's high in Chapel
Hill was 70 and the low was
56.
Santa Letters Pour In
NEW YORK (AP) Every child knows that San
ta Claus lives at the North Pole, and , that's all the
address the Post Office needs to deliver his mail.
"Dear Santa," wrote one child, "Sometimes I was
good but when I was bad it was only for little things.
If you think that I deserve the things I will ask for
please send me a note saying so. I would like a pair of
earings that hang but not too much because I am
only 9."
At this time of year, when kids start drawing up
lists, New York's General Post Office becomes a
branch of the North Pole. Thousands of letters to
Santa from across the country, and even from around
the world, re being directed here.
The mail is poring in; touching, humorous, some
times a little waggish, and the postmen are deter
mined to see that no one is forgotten at Christmas.
Debra used a piece of construction paper and a
fistful of stars to shaw she had been doing well in
behavior, obedience and grooming. One boy offered
to help Santa and "the Elks" make the toys.
Another said he still wanted a machine gun, if it
wasn't too much "trobble." He promised to leave
some marshmallows for the reindeer. One child said
if he got what he wanted he would leave Santa "some
cookies and whisky."
Some letters came from mothers who said they
couldn't buy gifts for their children and pleaded for
help.
"My mommy is in the hospital," wrote one lit
tle girl. "My brother Michael is going to the hospit
al for a operation. Please send my sister Teresa a
doll and my brother Michael a truck and my brother
Sandy a car and send me a nice dress and a doll.
My mommy some perfume and my daddy nice shoes
es. I love you."
One wrote simply: "Dear Santa, Please give some
thing to the poor children."
Acting Postmaster John R. Strachan said the let
ters will be turned over to individuals, business firms,
philanthropic organizations, and Post Office employ
ees in the hope that "this appeal will assure no less
of any child's faith in Santa Claus." -
And there was this revealing letter from a little
girl:
"Dear Santa, I shared my toys with a friend, but
she broke everything cept a doll. I won't let her have
it. Now she says I am sellafish. Do you think I can
have a new hair for her."
There's a dime - fed turnstyle
there which refuses to let you by
unless it gets it's money. If you
and your date are up for it, though,
you can hop over the railing like
of couple of kids sneaking under
a circus tent flap.
Out on the observation deck
you stand and watch the attend
ants gas up the plans, check their
engines and stuff their bellies with
Samsonite and plaid - fabric lug
gage. A scratchy, megaphonic voice
announces that Eastern's Flight
No. Such - and - such is about to
depart from Gate 5 for Chicago.
You watch the people file out
of the terminal, overcoats draped
over their arms and ticket fold
ers in hand. They get on the plane.
A group of soldiers and Marines
form a line by gate, hoping to fly
for half the $39.95 fare. Some of
them make it.
The plane begins to rev its en
gines, turn around and taxi toward
the blue - lighted runway.
It takes off and you wish you
were on it. But there's this thing
about already having cut too many
classes this semester.
Anyway, you wouldn't have
enough money to get back on.
When you've had your fill, you
walk back down the stairs and
through the terminal to your car.
There's no more gin in the ther
mos bottle and its time to start
back to Chapel Hill over those 17
miles or so of asphalt ribbon that
winds through the red clay foot
hills of the Piedmont.

Death Related
FREEHOLD, N. J., (AP)
Mrs. Marjorie Farber between
fits of tears, drew a vivid,
dreadful picture yesterday
claiming Dr. Carl Coppolino
put. a pillow over her hus
band's head and smothered
and strangled him to death.
She said she looked on in an
hypnotic trance.
An overflow crowd jostled
angrily in an effort to gain
entrance to the 64 - seat court
murder trial wound up its
first week. It resumes Mon
day. Mrs. Farber, an attractive
5-foot-2 brunette told a mur
der trial jury that she was
a slave in a bizarre "love
plan" conceived by Coppolino
and at his direction herself
tried to kill retired Col. Wil
liam E. Farber shortly before
July 30, 1963.
; Detailing the actual slaying,
Mrs. Farber testified for the
state in Monmouth County Su
perior Court:
"I walked into the bedroom
and Carl had apparently fin
ished giving Bill an injedtion.
He said, fHe is a hard one to
kill. He's taking a long time
to die.' Then he pulled a pil
low out from under Bill's head!
and put it over him and lean
ed down with all his weight."
At this point, Mrs. Farber
rose from the witness stand,
a small figure in blue, and
demonstrated the placing of
the pillow and the manner in
which the pressure was ex
erted. An autopsy report list
ed Farber's death as due to
strangulation so severe that
two cartillages in his neck
were broken.
"I just stood there and look
ed at him," Mrs. Farber add
ed. Then she sank back in her
chair and broke down. A wo
man court attendant adminis
tered to her.
Coppolino, 34 - year - old
anesthesiologist and hypno
tist, is on trial for his life
on a first - degree murder
charge. In his opening state
ment Defense Attorney F. Lee
Bailey anticipated Mrs. Far
ber's story and told the jury:
"It's a monumental and
shameful demonstration that
hell hath no fury like a wo
man scorned. . .she would sit
in his lap in the electric chair
just to see that he dies."
Bailey's first question on
cross - examination of Mrs.
Farber was
"Mrs. Farber, will you look
at this defendant. Is it fair
to say you hate the defen
dant?" "No sir," she replied. "I
don't have any feeling one way
or the other."
The witness conceded that
she was having an affair with
Coppolino at the time of the
slaying. Bailey wanted to know
why it was necessary for Cop
polino to kill Farber when he
"could pretty much have you
whenever he wanted you?"
"Carl is so egotistical,"
Mrs. Farber said, "that he
doesn't want anyone to inter
fere in anything he wants to
do ... I think Carl was jeal
ous of Bill."
Asked why she "aided and
abetted" the slaying, Mrs. Far
ber replied: "Because of the
hypnosis. I had no free wilL"
Coppolino looked intently at
Mrs. Farber during her chil
ling recital. She wore a sim
ple blue two - piece knit suit
with touches of white at the
neck and wrist. Her dark hair
was neatly arranged.

Michter Lauds,
Then Hits' Kiel
By LYTT STAMPS
DTH Staff Writer
UP representative Larry
Richter Friday changed his
mind about former chairman
David Kiel's resignation from
the party.
Thursday night he called
Kiel's decision "carefully con
sidered, legitimate and made."
But Friday he charged that
Kiel "chose to conspire with
the SP and DTH" for a "spree
of sensationalism."
"The UP will miss David
Kiel," the Ehringhaus legis
lator told his fellow represen
tatives Thursday night. "I sin
cerely hope and urge that
Kiel's devotion to student go
vernment not be mitigated one
iota."
Richter said the UP's loss
would be a "severe blow" to
the party.
He called Kiel "a person
who has a real interest, an
honest belief in and a true
appreciation of Student Go
vernment." In a statement to the DTH
Firday, Richter added: "I'm
sincerely sorry to see that a
person for whom I had such
a great respect has allowed
himself to be used for such
a nakedly political purpose."
He said the "sensation
alism of Kiel's resignation
from the UP caucus has de
meaned the integrity" of Stu
dent " Legislature.- "
He suggested that Kiel's pu
blic announcement to Legisla
ture should have been prece
ded by an announcement to
UP caucus.
"Instead he chose to con
spire with the SP and the
DTH to have his picture and
name spread all over the front
page in a spree of sensationa
lism," Richter said.
Kiel's withdrawal from the
party came on the same night
that another UP representa
tive, Noel Dunivant, resigned
from legislature.
Dunivant said he was resign
ing for academic reasons.

Aptheker is Director of the
American Institute for Mar
xist Studies. Wilkinson is Exe
cutive Director of the Nation
al Committee to Abolish the
House Un - American Activi
ties Committee. Both Apthe
ker and Wilkinson sued inde
pendently of the 10 students.

ton was one of the original
plaintiffs but has since with
drawn. Led by Dickson, student bo
dy president last year, the
plaintiffs filed the suit in Dis
trict Court March 31. The suit
