Washington, Jan. 26 (UP) President Roosevelt took quick ps tonight to head off the threatening, senate attack on his ?4,880,000,000 public works re lief measure by announcing that M and he alone, would admin ister the huge fund. The President's action is be heved to have been designed to eet criticism already directed at the measure in the house, and strengthen the administra on's forces in their effort to hip it through the senate with out revision. While retaining ultimate con frol of the vast program, Roose velt indicated he would prob ably name an advisory board of togh officials to aid him in alio mating the funds and directing the work.

Russell Will Speak Before Di-Phi Session After the meetings of the Di Senate and the Phi Assembly Tuesday at 7 and 7:15 p.m., re spectively, the two societies will meet jointly in Gerrard hall to hear Phillips Russell recount the proceedings of the anti-war conference that he recently at tended in Brussels, Belgium. ' Both groups will discuss bills relative to the entrance of the United States into the World Court in their separate meet ings before they meet in Ger rard to hear Russell. Try-outs for the freshman de bate are to be held immediately after the' joint meeting. The subject for the debate is, Re solved, that divorce is a social Residence Status And Honor The following statement was issued yesterday after noon by Dean of Administration Robert Burton House: "Jules Medynski and Tom O'Flaherty are withheld from all University contests by request of the admin istration, pending further consideration, of their case by the student council. The case involves a question of misrepresentation of facts in the matter of their resi denee status, as revealed in the work of the committee on residence status. This evidence will be presented to the student council for further consideration." Presi dent Graham concurred in the action. The entire situation which has arisen from the facts as stated by Dean House is presented iii the following factual, editorial. Three boxers whose addresses are given on Uni versity records as "Charlotte, N. are involved. Three committees or groups, the administrative board, the faculty" committee on athletics, and the student council, as well as Dr. Graham and Deans House and Bradshaw, have conducted the case to its present standing. . j The case, briefly stated, is : the three under; question are not paying the out-of-state tuition differential, claiming Charlotte as their home, both on their affidavits and sub sequent testimony. Reports were collected by the adminis tration showing that the three did not warrant the in-state privilege. An investigation following the accumulation of the facts was conducted as the regular function of the ad ministrative board. Let it be here stated at first that the Daily Tar Heel was in full possession of the facts of the case up to Friday night, but.that the suppression of them for yesterday morning's issue was definitely not administrative pressure or censorship but the policy of the newspaper for obvious reasons in light of the circumstances sur rounding the situation. Rumors were flying and are still rampant on the campus that the question raised over the in-state tuition matter was instigated by some outside pressure in this instance current gossip named the University of Virginia or someone connected with it. But, as the Daily Tar Heel stated yesterday, these rumors were absolute falsehoods, as in the words of President Graham, the investigation was a "pure administrative function exercised in fairness to our selves and our opponents.". The fact that the investigation was conducted the day before the Virginia bouts was not a material one; what was the vital force was that discrepancies were alleged, that immediate action was, the correct dispensation of the prob lem, and that if the evidence was false, Carolina would stand all the more firmly imbedded in its reputation of fairness and good sportsmanship. In other words, if any discrepancies existed in the eligibil ity or standing of University athletes, they were to be rem edied at once, regardless of whether evidence was brought to the administration's attention in July or January. The factual statement of the case is this: members of the ad ministrative board, Deans House and Bradshaw, and Messrs. Evans and Husbands, were called to meet Friday morning at the request of the administration to consider certain facts relating to the rights of three students for in-state tuition. These same stu dents had been under fire before but were definitely, instated as being technically within rights. At the time of their registration in September, 1932, each sub mitted a signed affidavit, in accordance with the regulations of the trustees and the state law, declaring that the signer was a bona fide resident of North Carolina and had been for at least six months preceding liis first registration. In addition to the affidavits, cer tain other supporting evidence had been presented to the same effect to the admissions board at that time. For the past year rumors and remarks that were more pointed than rumors have been drifting down from the Old Dominion that Carolina. was employing thugs, discarded professionals, and hoboes to lick Virginia. These were disregarded as utterly worthless con demnations, but definite inferences from various sources of in eligibility were pertinent. President Graham would not be satis fied until a complete investigation had been held, this being done last spring. However, despite this investigation (including testi mony by Coach Rowe) which absolved certain boxers under ques tion including the three involved in the present situation, from any professional or illegal-residence charges, President Graham has been continually following up the problem. In pursuing this investigation and with added impetus caused by further confi dential rumors, the administration disclosed some facts which he believed should have been cleared up and thus he called the board meeting. At any rate, he emphatically denies that the Uni versity of Virginia is implicated in; any way, and Dr. Graham is the most honorable man that we have ever met. To continue: the board meeting Friday morning with the evi dence which was presented, found that one of- the students was clearly not entitled to be considered a resident of North Carolina. No actual decision was taken at that time in the other two cases, but the committee unofficially reported that one of the remaining two was entitled to in-state tuition privileges and the other prob ably not. What must be made clear at this juncture is that the in vestigation was purely an administrative function, the same as the board handles day in and day out. Residence status is a common problem and deserves individual attention. This is what it got in this as other cases. (Continued on page two) Prosecution Expects Hauptmann to 'Crack' Flemington, N. J., Jan. 26 (UP) The state's baftery of ace prosecutors who are doing their utmost to send Richard Hauptmann to the electric chair said tonight that the defendant will "crack" within a week.

Wilentz stated that he ex pected to conduct the most dra matic cross-examination - ever recorded in the history of Amer ican jurisprudence Monday.

TROOPS DISPERSE ANTI-LONG GROUP Militia Goes Through Battle Manoeuvers to Halt "Square Dealers' 99 , Assemblage. Baton Rouge, La., Jan. 26-1 (UP) Warlike action flared here tonight as Huey Long en forced his dictatorship by in voking the mailed fist of the mil itary in attempting to prevent citizens from assembling. Throughout the city, tonight, people stirred, restlessly defi ant. A gathering of approximate ly 150 men and women at the Baton Rouge airport were dis persed with two volleys of tear gas bombs shortly after 6 p.m. tonight. The citizens had gath ered and were exercising their constitutional right of discussion of the turn of events, when two carloads of militiamen rushed to the scene and ordered them "break it up." Battle Manoeuvers The uprising of about 75 "square dealers" at the airport was subdued after an hour of battle manoeuvers, during which the troops lay on their bellies with upraised rifles, and the "square dealers" peered from behind trees with cocked shot guns, waiting for an excuse to blast away. The last of the "square deal ers" came from the woods at 5 :30 p.m., and surrendered their guns. One casualty was record ed among the "square dealers." He was wounded in the stom ach when one of his fellow war rior's gun, or his own, accident ally discharged its load of buck shot. .5 Latest reports indicate that the "square dealers" count sev eral thousand men, organized in a dozen companies. They are led by 29 year old Ernest" J. Bourgeois and, according to their leader, are being drilled in the fundamentals of military science in order to secure a mo bile organization. There are 2,000 national guardsmen in Louisiana, and "King Huey' is given authority by the recently passed "dictator laws" to increase the state con stabulary, a separate unit, to an unlimited extent.
