The five members of the Publica tions Union Board at whose meeting the agreement took place, emphasized that this action commits neither Hobbs nor the PU Board to the publication of a combined magazine, but that the stu dent body would be given the right to decide the issue. The vote will be held during the regular serine elections: either one or two editors can then be presented for election. Moll Original Initiator Stimulus for the trial issue, result ing from several weeks of discussion, came last week when Mag editor Hen ry Moll approached the PU Board for $625 and 32 extra pages necessary to publish in March a trial combination issue. After refusing on the basi3 of expense and the fact that such an is sue might not be representative, the board yesterday presented the plan ac cepted by both editors. The trial issue, as now planned, would be published under joint editor ship, but employing separate covers and titles because both magazines have national advertising contracts. The appointment was announced The issue will be distributed in March yesterday at Washington by John B. in time for the student body to vote I Kelly, Assistant Director under Mayor System of Voluntary Darkness To Be Used During New Trials ouse Approves Measure fenting:$12,500,000,000 For Airplane Production Enemy Subs on Eastern Coastlines Destroyed, Says Army Communique By United Press WASHINGTON The greatest single war bill in American his tory a $12,500,000,000 grant for 33,000. new war planes was passed by the House today concurrent with news that United States planes and pilots are out-fighting Japanese in the Pacific.

And in the meantime, Carolina's student pilots, out of the baby stages now, continue to take off on dawn patrol flights, flip through the Chapel Hill sky till sunset, and chalk up ad ditional flying hours. Rush to CAA Meanwhile from Washington come official figures revealing how Johnny Jones, throughout the nation, living next door to everywhere, and next door to everyone has learned to solo an air plane in eight hours. And the attitude has been "if he can do, so can I." The result has been a rush of tens of thousands of young men throughout the nation storming CAA headquar ters wanting to learn to fly. Above all one fact has been con clusively verified. Learning to fly can be safe, as safe as learning to drive an automobile, "provided a carefully controlled system of instruction is fol lowed." Up to last September 1, more than 75,000 CAA programs had been completed and there only 27 fatali ties. More than 6,400,000 miles were See CAA, page 4 Carolina-Penn Forensic Contest Meets Tonight to Decide Winners of Classic It's Carolina Vrsus the Quakers when the Debate council sponsors an in tercollegiate debate at 8 o'clock tonight in Graham Memorial's main lounge.

Although no warning is ever given before the blackout signal is sent out, it is generally felt that army officials will instigate a policy of periodic black out tests on the east coast within the immediate future. Match Flame Dangerous General procedure upon-receipt of blackout orders is voluntary extin- , guishing of all lights, or covering of windows and other apertures through which light may escape. "Even a match flame, if unguarded, can be seen easily from the sky on a dark night," officials warned. Only if the system of voluntary ac tion fails after a series of trials will the plan of throwing central municipal switches be dictated by expediency, it was said. Defey Might Be Fatal During a blackout, general instruc tions read, "all persons should gather in one room in the. house, which may be suitably equipped with heavy black cloth to hang in the windows. No light should escape from this room." All lights should be turned out immediate ly; delay might mean casualties in time of actual air raid. Air raid wardens who will be on pa trol during all blackouts will watch for any light that may escape from win dows or other sources and they will inform the owner of the infractions without delay. Student air raid warden units, as well as other protection crews, are be ing set up and will be organized in conjunction with the work of the Chap el Hill Civilian Defense office. All w5rk during air raid alarms and black outs will be carried on -jointly by the two groups. Victory Book Campaign Enters Second Week Dr. Walter C. Alvarez Dr. Walter C.
