. Significantly heading the union's list
of queries, is the aid to Russia issue.
Bitter contestants in the Senate, in
terventionist, and isolationist alike,
have brought the issue squarely before
the American public. Most recent in

Battling to subdue flames in Petti

Hill fire department to arrive, George
Paine, Don Wilson and Bob McGarry
failed to note firemen's absence until
nothing remained but the smoke. .
Hero of the hour is an unknown lad
who is described in Paine's version of
the catastrophe. "First I knew about
it," he said, "was when some tall guy
came barging in here and started to
fill a leaky bucket with water at the
basin." The "leaky bucket" was a
wastebasket, three of which were soon
in action as Paine's roommates, Don
Wilson and Bob McGarry, joined the
fight.

Open Forum
To Follow
Panel Talks
Possibilty of student leaders clash
ing in . views with faculty representa
tives this morning blotted out previ
ous speculation on a Duke University
versus Carolina line-up at the Inter
national Relations club's round table
and open forum tonight at 8 o'clock
in Hill Music Hall.
University panelists at the forum
will be Truman Hobbs, student body
president, and Dean R. B. House. Law
rence E. Blanchard, president of the
student body at Duke University, and
Dean H. J. Herring will speak as Duke
delegates.
House to Favor Intervention
i Dean House, it is rumored, may
challenge the audience' by requesting
"less beating around the bush" and
immediate intervention, with Dean
Herring taking a similar offensive.
Hint of the degree of harmony be
tween House and Hobbs at the round
table was given the Daily Tar Heel
when Hobbs revealed, "It is possible
that Dean House and I will disagree
on some points. The Dean is for urg
ing on the administration for immedi
ate war declaration, and while I am
not anti-interventionist, I do believe
in. following the administration's pol
icy to the utmost."
- Position of . Duke's student repre
sentative, Larry Blanchard, is entire
ly a mystery. A large congregation of
Duke students and faculty members
is expected at the IRC discussion.
It is expected that topics to be cov
ered tonight will include the expedi
ency of free discussion, the reluctance
of youth to face the world situation,
possible Neutrality Act repeal, value
of suspending democratic procedure
for swift administration rule, and the
importance of isolationism at this
time.
President Roger Mann of the IRC
explained, "The general question un
derlying tonight's debating is that of
vouth's nart and narticination in a
possible approaching world war.

Germans Gain 70 Miles
In Drive Toward Moscow
By United Press
German troops going "all out" in a
desperate attempt to, reach Moscow
before winter sets in, had smashed to
within 125 miles of the Soviet capi
tal today (Wednesday) as reports of
fresh' Axis reprisals against citizens
of occupied countries came from vari
ous sources.
The Russians apparently making
ready stout defense lines -somewhere
between the Germans and Moscow, ad
mitted in this morning's communique
that there was heavy fighting in the
vicinity of Vyazma, 125 miles west of
the capital, and Bryansk, 220 miles
southwest. Based on previous com
muniques, fighting represents a gain
of at least 70 miles for the Germans.
A dozen Rumanian generals were
reported executed for suggesting that
they stop fighting for Germany. Sixty-four,
Czechs and a Belgian were
said to have been put to death.
Sanford Calls
First Meeting
Of Legislators
Frosh Elections
Proposal Slated
For Consideration
By Bob Hoke
Faced with consideration of a rein
forced safety council bill and a bill for
the control of freshmen elections, the
student legislature steps into the mid
dle of current student government af
fairs at the first meeting of the year
tonight.
Slated for 7 o'clock in the Phi hall
of New East building, the legislators
will also view and officially approve
the report of the Student Welfare
Board's sub-committee recommending
temporary postponement of action on
the student fees bill and bring under
fire several of the budgets of the vari
ous campus agencies.
New Safety Bill "
The new safety council, bill, as
drawn upv by Louis Harris and Mac "
MacLendon is "to put teeth in the ex
isting Safety Council." Authority for
punishment for negligent driving is
provided in powers of suspension and
expulsion.
The bill provides for a six-member
council to be composed of four stu
dent members, the Dean of Students,
and the local Chief of Police. The stu
dent representatives are to be appoint
ed by the president of the Woman's
association, the president of the Inter
dormitory council, the head of the In
terfraternity council, and the presi
dent of the student body, which ap
pointee is to act as chairman of the
council.
Guaranteed by Harris as "a move
not towards abolition of student au
tomobiles, but for some order among
student drivers in the interests of pub
lic safety," the bill requires a written
permit from the parents of the stu-
dent operator before a registration tag
will be issued.
At present in the issuance of license
tags, written permission is required
only of the new students at the Uni
versity. Compulsory Registration
Registration of all automobiles is to
be compulsory, failure of which will
invoke a penalty of suspension from
