FDR States
Neutrality
Act Repeal
Unnecessary '
Changes Not Needed
At Present Time,
President Says
WASHINGTON, May 28 (UP)
president Eoosevelt today accepted the
limitation placed on United States
foreign policy by the Neutrality act
and said that he doe3 not want the law
repealed.
He said at a special press conference
that he was not asking- Congress for
revision of the statute, and dismissed
43 too general in character all ques
tions a3 to his future course regard
ing the law.
There is no conflict, he said, between
-the restrictive provisions of the Neu
trality law and this nation's traditional
concept of freedom of the seas, which
. he reaffirmed last night in his famous
fireside talk.
WASHINGTON President Eoose
velt said today that he would move
slowly in assuming any of the vast
powers assumed by him under terms
of the unlimited national emergency,
but he inferred that if unfavorable cir
cumstances developed he will - act
swiftly and forcefully to correct the
situation.
He emphasized at a press confer
ence that issuance of the emergency
proclamation did not provide him new
powers. The powers are in existing
statutes, and need only be invoiced.
At present, he said, he would move
cautiously in issuing orders. None is
in immediate progress, but if appeals
to labor and capital are not sufficient
-to maintain industrial peace, there may
be further positive action to keep de
fense production rolling.

Conncil-Grail Prize
Old East Wins Award
As Best Men's Dormitory
Old East dormitory was yesterday
awarded the Interdormitory council
Grail plaque as the best all-around
men's dormitory on the campus.
The selection is based on improve
ments during the year, intramural
athletics, cooperation of the residents
of the dormitory, and school spirit.
Old East is one of the first dormi
tories that obtained social rooms.
Students in the dorm were taxed $1
apiece and that, with the $21.50 rais
ed from the sale of tickets to the Pas
tor concert, provided the money for,
furniture for the room.
The dorm won the Pi Kappa Alpha
:up for the best "Beat Dook" sign
for the Duke pep rally. It got an
honorable mention for the Homecom
ing decoration.
Old East's softball. team took five
sames this season and Harry Lewis
set a record in the intramural 100-yard
dash.
Only 23 of the 75 men in the dorm
are non-fraternity, but their complete
cooperation has enabled Old East to
participate in all their this year's activities.

Months in Air
Flying Course
Nears Completion
By Paul Komisaruk
. The pilot lost his course, dipped low
over a corn field and hollered at a
startled farmer, "Which way to Ral
eigh?" The farmer grabbed a pitch
folk and prepared to fight for his life,
regained his composure, .pointed off
to the North, and went back to his corn.
One hundred fifty thousand air miles
2,000 hours of flying and the total
damage "wouldn't amount to more
than $10."
Carolina's baby aviators hung up
another astonishing record during the
past few months, used five planes and
8,000 gallons of gas, have already li
censed 12 pilots, and stopped and
started their Piper Cub engines about
5,000 times.
Starting on its winter quarter pro
gram with 50 students and five instruc
tors, the program is heading for com
pletion with no loss of life or prop
erty and a gas and oil bill that runs
up to $2,150.
Forty-four students are still in the
course as two surrendered to nation

to the Navy air corps and four more
dropped out of school.

Dance Committee To Aid
Groups Holding Dances
Five-Man Body Ready
To Give All Details
A new "dance organization commit
tee" to aid all campus social groups in
the giving of dances to handle
routine matters and help in the book
ing of orchestras will be set up" by
the University dance committee, it
was announced yesterday.
A faculty member and four students
comprise the committee which, spons
ors emphasize, is designed to advise,
not dictate, in the numerous details of
darce preparations and execution.
On next year's committee, selected
by this year's retiring dance commit
tee, will be Bill Alexander, chairman;
a vice chairman who has not been
named yet ; George Coxhead, excheq
uer of the Grail; John DiffendaL
chairman of the German club; and
Herman Schnell, faculty representa
tive. : The chairman and vice chairman
will be principally in charge of con
tacting booking agents and signing
up orchestras. It is pointed out that
many campus organizations enter the
long trail of preparation for a dance
with little or no knowledge about
where to get an orchestra or how to
pay and as a result fail to secure the
best music available or take a finan
cial beating.
- The Grail and German club repre
sentatives will specialize in helping
organizations handle details of their
dances getting a piano, reserving a
floor and arranging for doormen and
concessions. . . . .

Campus Voices
Views on War
SDD, APM and ASU
Continue Publicity
With the nation's attention swinging
more and more to Europe's war, cam
pus organizations at the University
have entered into " intensive publicity
campaigns promoting their various
objectives in international relations.
On successive nights, students dis
tributed mimeographed sheets from
the Student Defenders of Democracy
and from the American Peace Mobili
zation, sharply conflicting over the is
sue of convoys for aid to Britain; while
yesterday the American Student
Union opened an exhibit designed to
get 1,000 signatures to an anti-convoy
petition.
The Chapel Hill chapter of the APM,
in a circular entitled "To the Majority
of Students Who Want To Keep out
of War," asserted that "For months
we have been told that aid to Britain
meant peace not war; now we see
that the whole process of aid to Bri
tain leads directly to convoys, and
'convoys mean shooting and shooting
means war'."
Effective Opposition
The statement maintained that the
chief step in opposing entry into war
is to "oppose the move to use convoys."

Education Commissioner Urges
Students To Study Defense
Cautioning" college students thatf
the need for fully trained men is go
ing to be greater with the passing
years," John W. Studebaker, commis
sioner of the Federal Security agency
of the Office of Education, asked in
a recent letter to President Frank
Graham, that Carolina students re
view the national defense problem be
fore taking definite steps.
The letter urged all students to
avoid the mistake of dropping out of
full college courses, related closely to
national defense, in - order to take
short courses designed to aid in in
dustry. "I wish to say an additional word
to your students. This has. to do with
the tendency of students to enroll in
short defense training courses in
stead of completing their regular col
lege curricula. The defense training
program operates under the jurisdic
tion of thi3 office. I therefore have
a keen interest in the effectiveness of
the program. It should be said, how
ever, that the demand of industry for
fully trained professional personnel
in all the fields related to national de
fense is already greater than the sup
ply and the need for these fully train
ed men is going to be greater with
