Fhht Tests According to a statement last night by Mann, the 36 students who have yet to complete their flight tests vill be able to do so by February 1 as planned. Yesterday, before the new planes arrived, student pilots Carroll McGaughey and Zan Carver passed their flight tests in a ship borrowed from instructor Jesse Lassiter. Since actual flying for the winter program will now begin on time, Mann urged that more students apply now to fill out the quota of 50. The recently begun project of en Urging the airport with a $208,667 VTPA grant will also be resumed im mediately.

The petition was signed by 125 women students. The amendment not only provides for a sweeping reorganization of the present nomination system for all offices in both the winter and spring elections, but also for complete ad vance information to the coeds, about business to be taken up at association meetings. . Specific provisions of the proposed amendment to the constitution of the Woman's association would require that nominations for all offices be made from the floor, that the women be notified at least one week before such nominations, and that the women students must be notified at least two days in advance of all business which shall be carried on in a general meet ing of the association. Final action on the amendment was postponed until next Monday when its provisions, as well as other Changes proposed at the meeting yes terday, will be discussed more thor oughly.

'Berryhill, head physician at the University, said yesterday, "We have had a mild epidemic of respira tory infection with a fair amount of influenza since January 3, but this epidemic has not reached serious pro portions." There are not as many students in the infirmary at present as there were this time last year, officials said yes terday, - but in any event there are adequate provisions including extra See FLU EPIDEMIC, page 4. Substitute for Loan-Lease Bill Proposed; RAF Planes Smash at Vital Axis Targets By United Press ; WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. A sub stitute for the Administration's lend lease arms bill restricting the program to the British Commonwealth of Na tions and Ireland and limiting Presi dent Roosevelt's extraordinary powers to two years was introduced into the House of Representatives by Rep. Ken neth F. Simpson (Republican, N. Y.). Under his measure a contrary reso lution would have to be approved by Congress before the President could supply war materials to China, Greece; or other nations resisting the axis powers. Simpson, serving his first term in Congress, said that before introducing his substitute he discussed it with Wendell Willkie, who approves the lend-lease bill last night ."with modifi cations." One modification was limi tation on the duration of the Presi dent's powers. LONDON, Jan. 13. Britain's ex panding day-and-night air offensive yc " UNC Requests $2,182,298 For 1&1-42 Broughton Will Present Report To Joint Session Thex state advisory budget commission today at noon will release its answer to President Graham's requested 1941-43 'minimum budget" of $9,962, 123 for the Greater University. In a joint session of the state legislature, Governor J. M. Brough ton will present the report, including itemized requests from all state-supported agencies and the budgets rec ommended by the commission. All figures, which have been printed into a bound book, will be referred to the appropriations committee of each house where representatives from the University and other agencies may obtain hearings. After the commit tees' work, final discussion and action on all budgets will take place several weeks from now on the floors of both houses. Carolina's share in the Consolidat ed University's request, as it was pro posed to the budget commission No vember 14 by President Graham, was $2,182,298 for 1941-41 and the same amount for 1942-43, a 13.3 per cent increase for each year over pres ent expenses. This request was supported with estimated receipts of $1,283,733 ' for the next two years, virtually equal to the present income. This left a proposed state appropriation of $898, 565 for each year, 39.8 per cent great er than current state allocations. Improvement Program Included Included in the total budget re quest was a permanent improvement program for all three units of the University. Totalling $1,069,136. Car olina's part was itemized as follows: library wing, $345,761; commerce building, $355,000; languages build ing, $196,000; remodeling old power plant, $24,000; laundry alterations and additions, $56,000; departmental equipment, $94,875; seats for Me morial hall, $14,500. An alternate budget included pro posals for a new religious activities center and a dramatic arts building. Asking recognition for many faculty members who have refused better paid positions at other institutions.

The spectre of a German invasion at tempt, scarcely noticed since the Christmas scare, sprang alive again when the people read such headlines as that splashed across the Evening News: ' "Royal Air Force Fighters Ma chine Gun German Invasion Troops in Day Attack." More conservative Air Ministry ac counts said British fighter planes had swept low over the French coast along the narrow neck of the Channel and strafed German troops in trenches along the beaches.

Erwin as saying the Marrow Confirms Text of Report (See complete text of commis sion's report, page 2.) H. B. Marrow, chairman of the state textbook commission, yes terday confirmed by long-distance telephone the text of his com mission's recommendations as quoted Saturday by the Daily Tar Heel. The confirmation came after state ments by former Governor Clyde R. Hoey and Secretary of State Thad Eure denying that the state board of education went against the wishes of the textbook commission, when it re jected a highly recommended history book by two University professors in favor of a text by Jule B. Warren, sec retary of the North Carolina Educa tion association. , The text, as quoted in the Tar Heel and confirmed by Marrow, says, "of all the books submitted 'The Growth of North Carolina' by Newsome and Lefler (the University professors) is by all odds the outstanding, complete, scholarly, authoritative, best organ ized and suited to our needs."

Accusations that nolitical consid erations entered into the board's action are substantiated in the Raleigh paper, which says Erwin, in giving reasons for the selection, listed first that "The text by Drs. A. R. Newsome and Hugh T. Lefler of Chapel Hill contained 'opinions' on politics to which board members, especially Treasurer Charles M. Johnson, took exception." The second reason given was that "The board of education, contrary to the textbook commission's opinion, de cided the book was too far advanced for fifth graders." Hoey Made "Error" The third reason was that the book adopteo! written by Jule B. Warren, former newspaperman and now secre tary of the North Carolina Education assoiation was $50,000 cheaper. The Tar Heel answered this point Satur day, showing that on the same day in two other cases the board adopted the most expensive text offered, and that the Newsome and Lefler book is 124 pages longer than Warren's. ' The News and Observer story com pletely refutes a statement by former Governor Clyde R. Hoey, chairman of the board at the time of the adoption, that the Warren book had. been used "successfully" in the Raleigh fifth grade. - "City Superintendent Claude Gaddy said yesterday this was an error and the book had never been used in Ra leigh schools," the story said.
