Greatly outnumbered, sick, and hungry American-Phil-ippino forces 36,853 against 200,000 fell from sheer exhaustion after five days of continual pounding by Japanese forces. These men, under siege for the past three months, did "not quit. Indeed, their valedictory was a courageous, spirited, but futile charge against their oppressors. Their legs simply failed them. Overwhelmed by weariness and by weight of numbers from land, sea and air Jap forces, most of these vali ant men face death or capture. However, the battle is not over. Fighting still goes on by American and Filipino guerillas from the islands of Corregidor, Drum, and Frank. Sec retary of War Henry L. Stimson an nounced today that efforts had been made to evacuate the defenders as much as possible to Corregidor Island, the mighty, rock-hewn fortress in Manila Bay, but it is unlikely that a large number could be saved. - NEW DELHI, April 9 (UP) Great Britain and India have reached a general agreement on the self -govern- :'''v-S,:. : v- A f J Legislature Defeats Changes In Veto, Judicial Review Power A. t Representation Reapportionment Approved by Student Law-Makers BILLY WEBB, nominated yesterday by the University Party as member-at-large representative to the Pub lications Union board.

Constitution Prepared For Soph Vote By Westy Fenhagen Radical measures including the lim iting of class committee memberships to seven, submitting of complete com mittee reports each month, and set ting up of four new class committees designed to eliminate "political tools," are included in the long-awaited soph omore constitution released yesterday by President Dotson Palmer. The measure, drawn up and present ed by Ernie Frankel and Wiley Long assisted by four other members of the constitution committee, will be submit ted to the class for approval next Thursday on general election day. Mimeographed ballots will be passed out as the students go to the polls and a majority of the class, approximately 400, will be needed to pass the meas ure, Palmer stated. Purpose of the new constitution, first of its kind in Carolina history, is to outline the powers and duties of class officers and to educate the offi cers and committeemen in the princi ples of student government, Palmer, proponent of the idea, stated yester day. The new committees set up under the measure will have real functions and membership will be reduced to a minimum. Instead of executive, dance, and fi nance committees, an executive board, social committee, ways and means committee, and a student government committee, will be set up, Palmer ex plained. Except for the executive board, which will be composed of the chairmen of the other three commit tees, the four class officers, and the three representatives from the student legislature, PU board, and student council, no committee may consist of more than seven members. This provi sion cuts out the useless political posi-, tions by which some committees have j had as many as 30 members. Each committee will be required to turn in a monthly report of what it nas accomplished to the executive board. The latter will have veto power over all of the committees. The student government committee will set up a program for training class See CONSTITUTION, pageU WAA, WGA Nominees To Be Chosen Today All coeds are requested to meet in Gerrard hall this afternoon at 1:30 to nominate representatives to the WAA and WGA, Elsie Lyon, coed representative the student legislature, announced yesterday.

Prom Trotters Freshmen officers and their dates who will march in the figure tonight Two proposals to amend the constitution to grant the president of the student body sole veto powers and the Student council sole powers of judicial review were defeated last night by the Student legislature in a two and one half hour session. Amendments to reapportion the Student legislature representation, to grant the Elections committee of the legislature power to compute the representa tion under the new system, and to reg- ulate the limitations of legislature membership were approved. Question Unchanged The question of the seat of the au thorities of judicial review and veto power, which has split campus opinion during the last decade, remains un changed. The Student council, which includes-the president of the student body, retains the privilege of judicial review and veto. The new representation, established by the amendment is as follows: : "A. Three elected representatives from each class, chosen in the regular class elections. No class representative may be a class'officer or a campus of ficer. "B. One representative elected by and from the law school, one by and from the medical school, and one by and from the pharmacy school. "C.

During that time the diminu tive Hutton has played drums for many campus orchestras and has earned the reputation as the "only drummer in the world who can be seen behind a brass drum." Speaking of his candidate Hutton said, "I have worked with Stud on vari- pus entertainment programs and know he has the stuff to present a really hu morous magazine to the campus. He is the only candidate in the race who has had actual experience in editing a pub lication and has been the sparkplug of Tar an' Feathers for the past two years." " Camp Positions Open to Coeds Opportunities for camp counseling work in North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia summer girls' camps were an nounced yesterday by Elizabeth Hunt ley, personnel Adviser of Women. The summer jobs are open to coeds qualified as general camp counselors or as supervisors of music, dramatics, craftwork, water sports, photography or nature study. Coeds interested are requested to con fer with Miss Huntley in 103c South building. Managers Lose Durham Outlet For Gleaning The cleaning problem hit another snag yesterdaywhen Johnson-Prevost Cleaners of Durham reneged their ver bal agreement to handle all University dormitory cleaning. Reasons for their change in attitude were not made clear, but it was sug gested that the strong objections of all Chapel Hill cleaners against an out sider handling their territory, and the objections of the Durham Cleaners As sociation because they too can share the "booty," influenced the Johnson- Prevost company. Several weeks ago all relations with the Chapel Hill cleaners were severed by the dormitory managers when the town cleaners instituted a retail price rise, a 5 per cent cut in profits, and a loss- of free cleaning. The dorm-mart agers protested chiefly against the pro fits loss, because, as they pointed out when the small profits were divided between the three managers in each dorm the amount was so small it was not worthwhile to handle cleaning. At present dormitory managers are not handling any kind of cleaning and this policy will continue until some arrangement is made with either Chapel Hill cleaner or one from Dur ham or Hillsboro. Mr. J. S. Bennett, head of the Univer sity Utilities Department, has volun teered to contact every cleaning estab lishment in Durham and Hillsboro, and to try to formulate some plan that will enable an outside cleaner to handle the University dormitories. Until some settlement has been reached students living in dormitories will have to carry their cleaning into town, and no town cleaning agent will be allowed to enter any dormitory to solicit, even after having been called by some student.

Werner of Drexel Hill, Pa. CPU Signs NC Senator For Address On May 12 By Paul Komisaruk North Carolina's senior sena tor, Josiah William Bailey, seek ing his second re-election to the Senate Chambers, has selected Chapel Hill and a Carolina Polici cal union platform as the site of his only campaign speech, it was learned yesterday. Announcement was made by CPU head Ridley Whitaker, who disclosed that Baily would speak here on May 12 on a coast-to-coast radio hook-up. Pressing duties in Washington and ailing health prevent the senator from making more than one campaign ad dress, officials pointed out. Plans Completed Bailey signified his intention of ac cepting the CPU invitation, last week, but plans for his appearance were not completed until yesterday. His speech from the Memorial hall rostrum will mark the first time a North Carolina congressman has ad dressed the state since the United States' entrance into the war last De cember. Bailey, who two years ago was the subject of much criticism due to his strong opposition to President Roose velt's domestic policies has recently found himself back in the public's fav or as senatorial spcarlxealjd for the President's foreign policies. The 65-year-old senator, who took his first seat in the Senate Chambers in 1930, was re-elected in 1936, and now seeks his third six-year term. A University trustee since 1930, Bailey, a Raleigh native, served as US Collector of Internal Revenue in North Carolina in 1913-14, and as a member of the North Carolina Constitutional Commission in 1915. He studied law at Trinity College and at Wake Forest, and was admitted to the bar in 1908.
