' UNC Cafeteria Loses $7,000 In Last Six Months of 1940; $6,000 Debt Service Included New Structure Earned $14,000 Opening Months The University Dining Hall cafe teria showed a net loss of more than S7,000 for the last six months of 1940, figcres released yesterday by Auditor L deR. MacMillan showed. The actual operating loss, however, as slightly more than a thousand collars, since debt service payments for the new building, which amounted to $6,036 for the period, were counted as expenses. For the corresponding period of 1939 the last six months of operation in old Swain hall the cafeteria showed a net profit of $6,416, actually about ftOOO better than this year if debt service is not included in the comparison. Operation in the new building dur ig its first six months, however, com pared more favorably with the corres ponding period the year before in sam hall showing only $1,500 less Profit The cafeteria actually made ffiore than $14,000 in the winter and spring quarters last year when the ¢ special was still being of fered. A similar performance in the first norths of 1941 would bring the establishment out of the red again.

This allotment marked the first use of the approximately $380, which the legislature recently diverted from the Debate council funds for the use of other campus organizations. Garland, in announcing the dona tion, commented upon the exceptional ly large amount involved. Heretofore, the IRC has relied upon individual .gifts to pay its expenses, but upon learning of the legislature's action in diverting the debate council funds, petitioned the body for finan cial aid.

AmbmmJdm v Favors Relief For Needy Unoccupied Fran ce Denies Rumors That He May Go To London By Mary Caldwell (Copyright, 1941, The Daily Tar ... Heel) " '. William C. Bullitt, ambassador to France during the German invasion, yesterday gave unqualified endorse ment to United States aid in reliev ing milk shortages' "that are actually endangering life" : in unoccupied France. - s Nipping in the bud a rumor that President ' Roosevelt soon would ap point him ambassador to England, the tall, smiling diplomat said, "I have been away from this Country for eight years . . . and I am planning to spend the next year here." "There's absolutely nothing to the rumor. He talked freely and vigorously on the need for help from the United States to that part of France ruled by Marshal Petain. "The United States should not hesitate to send milk to the starving babies of unoc cupied France," he said. "The France of which Vichy is now capital is facing a very great short age of many things, but particularly of milk for infants and smll children. That is the most serious shortage." "What most Americans do not un derstand," the affable ambassador emphasized, "is that France is now definitely divided into two separate parts. What used to be a country with "erreat cross-country lanes of communication and transportation has become two units between which there is little transportation and a minimum of communication." He explained th'at the northwestern part of France is its principal agri cultural wheat and grazing lands and used to support most of the country, but is now supporting the German army which occupies it.

News Briefs New Defense Board Warns Nation Of Sacrifices Ahead British Prepare To Beseige Tobruk By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 President Roosevelt today formally set up his new super defense board, which im mediately warned the nation that everything in national life soon must be subordinated to the necessities of preparedness.

Mr. Roosevelt said at a press con ference that the group would consult with him only when they disagreed on Application blanks are now available matters of vital policy. He emphasized in the dean of students' office for stu dents who wish to apply as hosts for the Latin American delegates. "The success of the entire summer school will depend largely upon its re ception and treatment by the student body," according to Assistant Dean of Students Fred Weaver. Hosts will not be required to fur nish constant guide service but merely that he established one-man to become personally acquainted with over defense production. the delegates. Some 110 students will be needed one for each visitor. Selec tions will be made by a student "hos pitality" committee which will super vise the entire group of hosts. the broad authority which the OPM will have, including powers to take over private industrial plants which refuse to cooperate in the defense drive. The board supersedes Mr. Roose velt's Advisory Defense Commission.

I, knowing their children and having sometimes re ceived their confidences, listen with Writer Noted Changes In Opinions as Youth Reaches Maturity politeness, but incredulity. The fact is that the world of the young is a different place from the world of the old, or even the mature; it has its dif ferent problems which must be solved ! according to their conditions. It is an error to suppose tnat tne old Know better than the young; they know differently: a lawyer is no wiser than a farmer, he is expert in one sort of knowledge just as the farmer is expert in another. So a course of conduct may be very sensible for a boy of twenty which would be very foolish for a man of fifty. The old should show toler ance towards the young, but so should the young towards the old.

ATHENS, Jan. 7 A flotilla of Greek destroyers in a daring dash across the Straits of Otranto last night entered Valona harbor unmolested and heavily bombarded Italy's vital Alban ian port, the Ministry of Marines re ported tonight. Striking for the third time across the 40-mile-wide Straits of Otranto between heavy Italian coastal bat teries, the Greek destroyers hurled 60 shells upon military objectives at the port, the ministry said. Simultaneously, a government spokesman said that Greek intelligence agents had been informed reliably that See NEWS BRIEFS, page 4.

Diplomat Says Self-interest Demands All Help Needed Emphasizes Void Between Dictators And Democracies By Ransom H. Austin William C. Bullitt, former Ambas sador to France, declared in a nation wide broadcast last night that the fu ture prosperity of America and preser vation of world democracy lies in this country's ability "to help the British! help the Greeks! help the Chinese!" with unlimited supplies "of war ves sels, airplanes, guns, munitions, steel and wheat." liumtt, who spoke under the aus pices of the International Relations club, said the only way to diminish "the risk," as he termed it, "is to give those who are fighting the axis powers every possible supply, material, munition, and arms that can be of use to them." "We must give what they need," he added, "not what we think we can comfortably spare. We can not, in our own self-interest, give less than what they need. "If we should stack the cards against the British by withholding what they need and we have, we would condemn ourselves to war at a day not distant, alone, without allies, and unprepared." The way toxmeet such needs, Bul litt said, is to unite the defense pro gram into ( e coordinated body where by every individual can contribute "bis share." In backing up President Roosevelt's "fireside chat" remark that the phil- l: .r i:a : j j cratic countries are too divergent to reconcile, the former ambassador pointed out that "no bridge of under standing can be built between our na tion and the totalitarian states, be cause a minimum of good faith is as necessary for friendly understanding between nations as between indi viduals." Bullitt said America must keep a vigilant watch on the Panama Canal and South American countries, and See BULLITT SPEECH, page U. Town Boys-Meet Tonight at 7:30 The Town Boys' association will have the first regular meeting of the quarter tonight at 7:30 in Gerrard hall.
