Senator Rolnik from New York City brings this bill on the floor and it will be opposed by Senator Charlie Nice from Alabama. The issue apparently is not going to be one based on mere party prejudice since both senators are Democrats and both are conserva tives. It is assumed in this resolution that a constitutional amendment would be necessary to make it valid, in which case the ratification of such an amend ment is conceded. Arguments for and against this resolution, therefore, will not ensue from either, a case of con stitutionalism or unconstitutionalism, but rather from a discussion of the relative virtues of retaining the pres ent system, proposing a substitute resolution to the bill coming up, or passage of the bill itself. iMAu BOitsors $, : Professors To Discuss Jap Future Woodhouse Presides Over Discussion By Bob Rolnik At 8 tonight in the Graham Memo rial lounge, the International Rela tions club will present five prominent Carolina professors in a campus forum on the subject, "What Should We Do with Japan after the War?"

In the past three IRC forums, the round table subjects have Included "Russian Domination," "Nazi War Criminals" and "Post-War Germany."

At last report, revealed the professor, his son was in a Japanese prison camp in the Philip pines. Dr. Lefler, in outlining his stand on the Japanese question, maintained that the United States could not hope to settle the far eastern problem with out the full cooperation of the other powerful interests in that area. "The Japanese have some good f ea tures," stated Lefler. "However, we will have a difficult time trying to root out the perverted philosophy which has been taught to them over a long period." Dr. Kattsoff asserted that the Jap anese people should be given every op portunity to develop their own gov ernment and educational system. "We cannot solve their problems by force alone," Kattsoff insisted.

A detachment of Marines were to replace some of the battle-weary men on the island, and his ship was anchored alongside the ill-fated Pennsylvania.

American batteries commenced firing, and the tracers or flack from the guns formed a cone with the enemy craft at the peak. The Navy cargo ships couldn't fire because it would have given their posi tion away and the Navy and Marine fighters stood at their battle stations huddled in their life jackets and hel mets.

Mar tin, 24-year-old Duke chemistry major charged with the murder of his grand mother, Mrs. Edward M. . Jewett, is pending the unearthing of new evid ence proving that Missouri was the scene of the crime. Missouri State Prosecutor Thomas G. Woolsey said that his office had insufficient evidence to prove that the 67-year-old woman was killed In that state. , Roy Williams, Boonville, Mo., at torney, defending Martin, will within the next two weeks confer with Dur ham attorney Victor S. Bryant about the problem of extraditing the defend ant, State Solicitor William H.. Mur dock of Durham revealed last Satur day. "All of our evidence in the case con cerned' with the slaying of Martin's grandmother, Mrs. Edward J. Jewett, tends to show that the killing was done out of this state," the official said. Murdock explained that under the North Carolina State law the state is not required to prove where a murder has been committed. "It is solely a matter for the defense to place the scene of the crime." The decomposed corpse of the wo man was recovered from Eastwood Lake three miles from Chapel Hill last May by a diver. Death was attributed to a skull, fracture, and the condition of the body proved that it had been hauled from some distant place. By Burnie Thompson Carolina students will receive the thrill of their lives when Bare foot Shows, Inc., brings "the most unpredictable show on earth" to Memorial Hall on Wednesday evening at 8:30. Luscious side show girls, clowns, popcorn and sawdust promise to create atmos phere for what producer Harold Gould has declared the acme of his career as producer of variety shows on campus. Latest rumor indicates that Miss Nell Barefoot, sponsor of the "extravaganza," may delight spectators by removing her spectators. Following the lines of the famous Hellzapoppin production of Broadway fame, the audience will actively participate in the show along with a prominent cast of assorted personalities and coed show girls. No admission price will be charged. Many foreign "bodies" will be components of the show, and the main feature of this mystifying performance will be a harem, consisting of such figures as : Pat Andrews, winner of the Carrboro munitions beauty contest a few months f1" past; Boots McGurt; Tillie Eaks; Dor- thy Cook; Vicy Morris, Kitty Kay; Alex Marcoglou; Miriam Hill; Betty Palmer; Gloria Caplan and others. The owner of the harem, Sheik Ahla boogie Kahmadra, will be portrayed by versatile Bill Crutchfield. The great pianist, Billinov Crisposky will appear in person to render his own compositions from his native state among the grain fields of south ern Russia. Crisposky is in reality none other than the old North State's own Bill Crisp. Another performer ' receiving star billing is the world - famous snake charmer, Maharani Gahna Shesmellso, alias Pat Mann, who will actually at tempt to tame a deadly Pithon. Chapel Hill's own May Zest, the curvilinear cute, who puts the "Z" in zex, will guarantee .to vulcanize all rubber heels present.. Other acts included in this riotous production will be the Julie Mott and Don Wakefield dance team, the med ical school quintette, consisting ofEd Wells, Louis McBrayer, Harvey Cox, George Penick, and Charley Tillett, along with a full feature of-side shows. Wally Barrett, of world-wide bark ing fame, will do the howling.
