Lashing out. an empassioned attack against alien undesirables and pleaing that- America be made safe for Amer icans," Senator Robert Rice Reynolds of North Carolina last night outlined and defended his five-point Vindicator program to a crowd of close to 1,000 in Memorial hall. Dapper in dress, despite a shirt that popped open lit the collar midway during the speech, the state's - junior senator, gesticulating at every turn, vigorously denounced all foreign isms and continually brought forth ap plause and shouts of approval from the audience. Although pressed to keep his address within the allotted one hour radio period, the senator, after his talk, answered several open forum questions in which he usually was non-commital, except in his oppo sition to Russia and Germany. In stating the position of the Amer ican people today, Reynolds shouted, "The greatest ' challenge confronting our people tod5y is the need to defend American life and traditions against the inroads of ' communism, fascism, naziism and all other isms or dicta tor doctrines -as well as defending ourselves against propagandists of nations at war "at the present time in Europe and Asia who would have us take sides with, or show some par tiality to one side or the other." ON ALIENS ... While flaying the alien element in the nation, the spectacular senator cried out, "In the past several years that melting pot has been consumed by the flames that provided the heat for assimilation. Unfortunately, but nevertheless, true, there has come into being a sub-surface element, dishon est, malicious and shifty, which with wanton effrontry has sought to turn that once great melting pot into a (Continued on page A, column 1 ) Editor Stauber For Buccaneer New Cover Page And Smaller Type Are Proposed By SANFORD STEIN Plans for a "regular rejuvenation and face lifting" of the Carolina Buc- caneer, involving modernization oi type and' makeup with especial em- nhasis on photography, were disclosed yesterday by Editor Bill Stauber and will be presented to the Publications Union board for approval next Wednes day. Under Stauber's plans, the cover page would be standardized with a photograph each issue of particular campus-wide interest, framed in a background of blue with white letter ing. This photograph would replace the usual cartoon cover. Type in the magazine would be modernized and made smaller, and each page of the ' . Buccaneer would contain two columns rather than the customary three. MORE PICTURES More photographers would be added to the staff in an effort to produce more amusing and story-telling pic tures. Many of these pictures will be cartoons within themselves, Stauber said, and along with various feature stories will comprise the first ten pages of the magazine. ' Most of the strictly humorous part will be concentrated in the center sec tion of the magazine cartoons, jokes, fiction, and poems. The cartoons, many of which will be full-page, will stand by themselves, photographs being used to illustrate the stories. The re mainder of the Buc will contain ad vertisements, departments (fashion, sport, music, etc.), continuations, scattered pictures, and any other mis cellaneous material. The advantages of the new plan, ac cording to Stauber, is twofold. First, h increase of pictures will elimi nate the use of mediocre copy, most of which is inserted as "filler." ihe itor will also be able to choose only the best stories submitted to him in- DOUGLAS STEERE TO GIVE SECOND IN SERMON SERIES Philosophy Teacher To Speak At Hill Sunday, January 28 : Douglas Steere, teacher of philoso phy at Haverf ord college, Haverford, Pennsylvania, will deliver the second University sermon of the year here in Hill Music hall Sunday, January 28.

P Waldrop Addresses Opening Session Of Press Institute By BILL RHODES WEAVER "Most people think if war goes on long enough, well get into it"4 Frank C. Waldrop, editor of the Washington, D. C, Times-Herald, said at the open ing session of the sixteenth annual North Carolina Press institute here last night. He asserted that Congress loathes war and that a vast majority of its members have experienced war, but that it is aware of the situation and realizes the desperate danger to the United States if the war continues. On two occasions, he said, Congress has tried to shift the responsibility of war to the people by public referen dum. Twice, the representatives of the American people have tried to dodge the burden by attempting to pass the Ludlow bill. ROOSEVELT'S POSITION President Roosevelt, the Washing ton editor asserted, has a keen sense of his historical position. He feels a great pride in the things he has done with the New Deal and is not at all anxious' to have a war interfere with his past record. He has seen what can happen. He knows Wilson went far in relation to influence abroad, an action strategically not sound. Treatment of the Finnish relief measure is typical of the Washington attempt to stay out of any definite committments abroad. Though the American people have an abiding friendship with the Finnish people, making Finland a loan involves too great a risk, Mr. Waldrop explained. We fear that were we to lend Finland money for such things as butter and other foods, in time we would be fur nishing, munitions and other commo dities not only to Finland but to France and England, too. Then, we'd be right back with the World War status. POLISH INVASION Mr. Waldrop recalled the morning of the invasion of Poland when the secretary of state and other commis ( Continued on page 2, column S) STUDENT DRIVERS MUST GET PLATES Council To Deal With Violators In a meeting yesterday afternoon the Student Safety council drew up plans for the punishment to be dealt to University students who refuse to buy student license plates for their cars. They will be aided in enforcing this ruling by the Chapel Hill police force. The j deadline for obtaining student licenses was last Friday, January 12, but the council has noticed that not all students have secured them. In an ef fort to hasten sales, the council, of which W. T. Sloan, chief of the Chapel Hill police department, is a member, has requested the police force to re port all student cars without the li censes to them. POLICE COOPERATION Chief Sloan, in response to the re quest, said yesterday, "We will be glad to help the council in every way pos sible." This request will fit into the campaign now being held by the po lice department to see that all Chapel Hill cars are properly licensed with city tags by February 1. The body also stressed the point that it has been given power by the Student legislature to submit cases of continual violators of the rules of the Safety council to the student council as violations of the campus Honor code. Licenses can still be procured every day' between the hours of 9 and 5 o'clock in 205 South building, and all student car owners are urged to do so immediately. The cost is 25 cents.
