Soviet air losses for the past five days were given as 354 compared to 23 planes lost by the Germans.

The Cultural Union of Brazil and the United States recently devoted a special program to life and study at the University, and Cross reported that the presentations by four former students here made a fine impression. "All the Brazilian students spoke very favorably of the United States," he wrote, "and one, Francisco Soares de Camargo, was enthusiastically ap plauded by the whole audience when he praised the Good Neighbor policy of the President and the cooperation Brazil is receiving from the United States." Cross said tbe meeting was attended by some 400 persons, "including repre sentatives of all high state authori ties." He also enclosed a three-column account of the meeting from the Sao Paulo "A Gazeta," afcd said the talks See SOUTH AMERICA, page A Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt emphatical ly presented youth's problems in the present crisis yesterday, stating over a coast-to-coast radio network, that unless "youth is interested we may find ourselves repeating the same mistakes. Youth must know the facts," she said Speaking on an International Stu dent Service panel with college leaders representing different sections of the country, Mrs. Roosevelt declared, "freedom must be preserved for our selves and the world." "We need the cooperation of young people. We welcome it. With help we can take steps towards accomplishing youth's dreams," she told the ISS panel, and radio audience. The basic thing that youth needs, she remarked, "is an individual sense of re sponsibility to our country." This emer gency must be brought home to the un dergraduates. The preservation of democracy is not enough she hinted. Democracy's im provement must be sought, she agreed, as panel leaders mentioned poor hous ing conditions, health standards that are under par, recreational facilities that are inefficient and vocational guidance courses that must be increased. "It is obvious," Mrs. Roosevelt said, "that young , people want to do their part in National Defense. And," she added, "the strengthening of democra cy will do wonders for the morale of the nation's youth." She expressed the belief that all of the nation's youth are now aware, "for the first time" of the seriousness of the present crisis, "for so many of them have had to rearrange their lives." Pointing out a two point program that youth might follow, Mrs. Roose velt said, "Let them train in the inter ests of civilian defense, and prepare the citizens to meet all emergencies. " "It has taken people a long time to learn the seriousness of this conflict," she remarked, and concluded, "college youths have the opportunity to study past' and present problems, and also have vision of the future." on PI Would Put Debates on Decision Basis Charge Members Receiving: Inadequate Training Charging inefficiency, and "politics" in the machinery of the Debate coun cil, Elsie Lyon, last year's winner of the Bingham medal in debating, Mac MacLendon, chairman of the safe ty council and varsity debater, and Dick Railly, Debate council represent ative from the Phi, presented to the debate squad for consideration a two point reorganization plan in any ef- fort to improve campus debating. ' Miss Lyon, MacLendon and Railly gave a three-fold criticism on which they based their resolution. The policies of no-decision debating, debating only on the side one believes, and making a discussion group out of the Tuesday night meetings of the Debate squad, they charged were det rimental to debating. The Debate council is made up of seven members two elected in tne general campus elections in the spring, and one representative each from the Di and the Phi, and three faculty members. The reorganization plan would take the election of members out of the general campus elections and would t let members of the debate squad to be defined as any person who has tried out for two or more debates be the only persons eligible to vote. The second point of the program would provide for decisions on at least one-third of all debates, the entering of tournaments, and the study of de bating strategy and technique in squad meetings. The debating squad voted over whelmingly in favor of the proposal and the Debate council "though they do not want to remove the offices from the spring elections was forced to vote in favor of the resolution, also," said Miss Lyon. The adoption of such a plan would require a change in the council's con stitution and as such would come un der the jurisdiction of the Student legislature. It would postpone action by the legislature on budget appro See DEBATE COUNCIL, page U Hendersonia Henderson Finds New Facts On North Carolina History General George E. Pickett "stood aside" and did not participate in the real part of the famous Confederate charge at Gettysburg; that Andrew Jackson was born in North Carolina, not South Carolina, and that there ac tually was a Mecklenburg Declara tion of Independence on May 20, 1775, is set forth in a new history of North Carolina by Dr. Archibald Henderson, Chapel Hill's artist, scientist, and his torian, who heads the department of mathematics of the University. The history, "The Old North State, and the New," is now rolling from the presses of the Lewis Publishing company of 211 West Wacker Drive in Chicago. It is a five-volume set selling for $35, the first two contain ing Dr. Henderson's history and the ast three biographical sketches of North Carolinians which Dr. Hen-J derson did not write. The large quar to volumes are lavishly illustrated. In this quiet university village, Dr. Henderson for 35 years has been writing books, pamphlets, magazine essays, and newspaper articles on North Carolina and American history. n.the present work he has incorpora ted the results of these years of read ing, research, and interpretation. For more than half his life he has cher ished the intention of writing a full length, "all-out" history of North Car olina. That intention is now fulfilled. Is Anthorof Many Books Dr. Henderson is a prolific producer of first-rate books. These witness the fact: Bernard Shaw: Playboy and Prophet; Contemporary Immortals ; Is Bernard Shaw a Dramatist?; Table- Talk of G.B. S.; Washington's South ern Tour; The Conquest of the Old . : - -ys- -S- Trww. ,r - n , - , rri 1 1 mil 'iTfTirr -llinill Dr. Archibald Henderson Southwest; The Star of Empire; The Prince of Parthia; O. Henry; The Changing Drama; European Drama tists; George Bernard Shaw: His Life and Work; Mark Twain; Interpreters of Life; and the Modern Spirit. The most conspicious feature of Dr. Henderson's new work is an elaborate study, in upward of a dozen chapters, of the cultural development of North Carolina. No such undertaking has been ventured upon by any former historian of North Carolina. Of great interest to those convers ant with North Carolina history is his treatment of moot questions.
