Special to the DTH
Development of nuclear energy will be
crucial to America's survival as a leader of
the free world, presidential candidate and
former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter
told a Survival Symposium audience
Tuesday night in the Great Hall.
Carter stressed the country's need for the
virtually unlimited supply of safe nuclear,
power, but he said he also hoped to work
toward elimination of nuclear weaponry
throughout the world. .
HEW calls for suspension

Staff Writer
The Department of Health, Education
and Welfare (HEW) has directed UNC
President William C. Friday to" suspend"
plans for a new veterinary school at North
Carolina State University.
In a letter sent to President Friday last
Thursday, William H. Thomas, director of
HEW's Office of Civil Rights, said the
faciltiy would violate North Carolina's
desegregation plans.
The Board of Governors, following a
racial impact study, passed over North

SAIGON Tank-led North Vietnamese troops smashed into the coastal headquarters city of
Nha Trang Tuesday, forcing South Vietnamese defenders to abandon the key provincial
capital that was once the home of the U.S. Green Berets.
Nha Trang, 188 miles northeast of Saigon, was the third provincial capital to be lost in 24
hours by the South Vietnamese in the face of a Communist blitzkrieg down the central coast
through crumbling defenses toward an increasingly jittery Saigon.
Connally milk trial open in Washington
WASHINGTON John B. Connally's bribery trial opened Tuesday with disclosure by
Watergate prosecutors they would use a key White House tape as evidence against the former
treasury secretary and Texas governor.
The prosecution announcement came as the court began selecting a jury to hear charges
that while Connally headed the Treasury Department, he received $10,000 from a milk
producers cooperative in return for his help in obtaining a 1971 increase in federal price
supports for raw milk.
Wallace may testify in primary hearing
RALEIGH The way has been paved and only the extension of a formal invitation needs
to be made for Alabama Gov. George Wallace to testify before a N.C. Senate committee
considering a bill to abolish North Carolina's presidential primary.
Wallace, upset by the house-passed bill to do away with the presidential primary tested
only once in 1972, contacted Sen. Tom Strickland, D-Wayne, Monday night to ask to be
heard on the issue before the Senate Committee on State Government.

While the Survival Symposium is bringing
various speakers into Chapel Hill concerned
with the problems of world hunger, two
UNC graduate students are planning to head
west because of the same issue.
Harry Wray, a graduate political science
student, and Winston Harrington, of the
Department of City and Regional Planning,
plan to ride bicycles 3,500 miles to Los
Angeles this summer to raise money for a
UN1CEF anti-hunger program.
Wray and Harrington are hoping to raise
funds for UNICEF through donations and
pledges from the trip.
"If this helps raise money for the UNICEF
campaign, it's worth the trip," Wray said last
month.
The pair hopes to raise contributions in
three ways. First, they are seeking donations
from organizations and merchants in the

stay there."
The board's proposal for the veterinary
school at State was unanimously approved
by the Senate Agriculture Committee,
Friday said. It will go next to the Senate
appropriations sub-committee. He did not
know what effect the HEW suspension
would have on that committee's decisions.
Friday' said the construction of two
facilities would not be feasible because "the
board recommended only one."
"This will require more discussion
between the University system and HEW,"
Friday said. "This is the first year there has
been any negativism from HEW toward the
veterinary school plans.
Friday said there "certainly is a possibility
of civil litigation" between HEW and UNC
before the matter is settled. He would not
speculate on the nature of such a suit.

Population exceeds capacity by
Cro wded

The jirst of a two part series
Unless the General Assembly approves a
corrections capital budget of $20 million,
prison planning officials have projected that
by 1983 the inmate population will exceed,
current capacity levels by 7000.
North Carolina's prisons currently hold
nearly 3000 inmates beyond capacity, the
number having risen dramatically since the
late sixties.
Crowded living conditions in the tension
infused prison system have' so greatly
alarmed correctional authorities that last
week , David L. Jones, Secretary of the
Department of Corrections, threatened an
inmate "lockout."
Jones has asked the General Assembly for
an emergency appropriation of $1 million to
hire additional correctional officers for the
sprawling network of more than 60
institutions and field units across the state.
The funds will also be used to convert four
minimum security field units to medium
security units to accomodate the excess ofj

The pair has already received a $200
donation from KMPC and $400 from the'
UNC Graduate and Professional Students
Federation. In addition, the Campus
Governing Council appropriated $5 per day
per rider last February to help the pair meet
dairy expenses on the trip.
' Wray estimated the trip would cost about
$5,000, including food, equipment, camping
expenses, a plane ticket back from Los
Angeles and the money lost from not
working.
With the CGC money, donated at the
urging of Williams and former member Rad
Kivette, the two feel they will be able to
personally finance the remaining costs of the
trip.
"From this point, all the money that we
v raise 'will go to UNICEF," Wray said.
The pair will leave Chapel Hill in early
May, after they finish exams. Their
.intended route will take them across North
Hill, North Carolina, Wednesday, April
. "We still haven't solved the matter of
disposal of nuclear wastes. These might have
to be placed in containers in some sparsely
populated part of the world and monitored
by the federal government," he said.
Carter called for presidential development
of a specific, written long-range energy
policy," similar to those of many European
governments, and said he would base such a
policy on slow economic growth and
continued commitment to a high standard of
living.
Carter also reaffirmed an earlier statement
supporting North Carolina's presidential
primary, which many state Democrats are
hoping to abolish in 1976, in favor of
delegate selection by a party convention.
Local campaigners for Alabama
Governor George Wallace have also
announced support for a primary election.
Political observers feel Wallace would do
well in a primary here, while Duke
University President and former governor
Terry Sanford would have a better chance at
a convention party of leaders.
Neither Wallace nor Sanford has officially
announced his presidential candidacy, but
both are considered serious contenders.

Construction of the Paul Green Theater,
long-planned as a local and state center for
the dramatic arts, will begin on a much
smaller scale than originally planned. Allen

The site for the theater was originally
planned for the old Emerson field, now the
Union parking lot. Constructpon was to

by September 1975.

"Unless we can get some help from the
General Assembly, I'm going to issue an
order not to accept any more prisoners,"
Jones told the Raleigh News and Observer
last week.
Prison officials attribute the growth in the
number of inmates to changes in the laws,
sentencing practices and court decisions.
The corrections department has expressed
concern at the growing proportion of felon
inmates in the system. Felons outnumber
misdemeanants by a 2.6 to 1 ratio. This ratio
is projected to increase to 5.5 to 1 by the end
of 1979 and to 10 to 1 by the end of 1983.

that aside from the present facilities having
