B. House in ceremonies during chapel period in News Briefs FDR Warns Of Dangers To Democracy Rejects Belief Of Tyranny And Slavery of World By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Presi dent Roosevelt today dedicated his precedent-shattering third term to the preservation of democracy and vigor ously rejected the belief of some that "tyranny and slavery" will dominate the world of tomorrow. Before 100,000 persons jammed in the east plaza of the Capitol to see him inducted into office again, the Presi dent warned that "great perils never before encountered" face democracy today, and said that the perpetuation of freedom and liberty furnish highest justification for every sacrifice made in the cause of national defense. "For this we must muster the spirit of America and the faith of America," he said. "We do not retreat. We are not content to stand still. As Ameri cans, we .go forward in the service of our country, by the will of God." His face grim, his thinning gray hair rumpled by a stiff wintery wind which chilled his listeners, he drew cheers and applause when he safdT slowly and with emphasis: "Democracy is not dying."

Battle of Music Limits UNC Studio To One Record Earl Wynn, director of the Dramatic Art department and the productions broadcast from the University radio studio in Caldwell hall revealed today that of the 70 recordings owned by the studio "The Italians in Algeria" is the only record that is not ASCAP controlled. Since the beginning of the ASCAP BMI fight the radio studio has had some difficulty in broadcasting its regularly scheduled music programs and also has had to cancel a radio play "Three Foolish Virgins" which was to have musical interludes of original composition. Fear that the original music might contain some bars of ASCAP controlled music which might cause infringement and a consequent suit against the stations carrying the program caused this program to be cancelled. Last week Liszt's "Sonata in B Minor" was the last program carried by WDNC, a member of Na tional Broadcasters Association, which carried a credit line for ASCAP.
