Armed Forces
Plan to Unite
Army, Navy Merger
Approved in Future
Washington, Jan. 16 (UP) The
White House announced tonight that
the Army and Navy have reached
"full and complete agreement" on a
plan for unification.
White House press secretary Char
les Ross said the plan was fully en
dorsed by President Truman who call
ed it an "admirable compromise which
offers a thoroughly practical and
workable plan of unification."
Details Tomorrow
Top Army and Navy officials will
make public details of the plan at a
press conference at the White House
at 10:00 a.m., EST, tomorrow. The
President will not be present.
Heretofore the Navy has bitterly
opposed "marriage" of the armed for
ces. The Army has supported the plan.
The compromise calls for legisla
tion to create a council of national
defense, a national security resources
board, and a central intelligence ag-
gency, which already exists).
The armed forces would be organ
ized under a secretary of national
defense so as to place Army, Navy,
and the Air Force, each with a mili
tary chief, under the departments of
the Army, the Navy, and the Air
Force respectively.

eclected At Opening Meeting
Arnall Misses Bomb,
By Mere Five Minutes
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 16 (UP) Five
minutes after Governor Ellis Arnall
left his portable rotunda office in the
State Capitol this afternoon, a loud
explosion echoed through the rotunda.
The blast occurred at '4:30 p.m. (EST).
To most of the crowd of 100 per
sons who heard the blast, it sounded
like a giant firecracker rather than
a bomb or shell. And though the blast
reverberated through the rotunda
with the roar of an artillery round, it
probably was a big firecracker the
work of pranksters.
Pranksters also are blamed about
the release of a tear gas bomb earlier
in the day. Several score spectators
milling in the outer executive offices
were forced from the area, but then
too, no harm was done except to al
ready tense nerves.
New President Serves
As Leader of France
Paris, Jan. 16 (UP) France has
a new president. The National As
sembly has elected Socialist Leader
Vincent Auriol to serve as president,
and to select a premier for the fourth
French Republic.
Threat of Explosion
Received by British
Jerusalem, Jan. 16 (UP) Police
reinforcements have been thrown
around a British government build
ing in Jaffa, Palestine, after a tele-
phoned warning that the underground
plans to blow it up.
Your contributions of dollars and dimes last year made it possible for
this young lady to recover from an attack of the dread infantile paralysis.
She and her doll (at left) were admitted to the state orthopedic hospital
at Gastonia several months ago.
She is Mimi Eve Elliott, daughter of John W. Elliott, R.F.D. No. 2,
Shelby.
You can help many other such youngsters regain their health by con
tributing to the annual March of Dimes campaign.

Opening Address
To Legislature
- -Strongly emphasizing the
need for "permanence" in stu
dent government, Charlie War
ren, speaker of the student legis
lature, ambled through his
"State of the Campus" report to
the lawmaking body at last night's
meeting.
Warren specifically cited the need
for offices for all student leaders, and
said, "President Dorsett and I be
lieve that is an obligation of Graham
Memorial to provide a " permanent
home for' student government. We
shall present this problem at the first
meeting of the Board of Directors."
The tall vice-president pointed out
advantages of the plan which will
give officials a central place to keep
important records. Said Warren,
"Succeeding student leaders will thus
be able to quickly obtain a working
basis by which to carry out their
jobs."
Touches Many Phases
He continued through the long
speech touching many phases of stu
dent activity. With regard to the con
troversial election laws, he stated,
"We need more impartial polling
places . . . provided the change is a
facility rather than a political preo
tive of the majority party."
: Warren also reported concerning
the fact-finding board which was set
up last quarter to look into what the
speaker called, "income saving de
vices" for students. He declared that
"Financial gain has been reaped in
of Ned Reap and his GM Dream Sere
nades, popular campus band. The
dance will be semi-formal.
Tickets will go on sale Monday in
the YMCA lobby and in Lenoir hall.
Cost of the tickets will be $1.50 per area in the Mason farm district pro-

will also sell tickets throughout the
week.
The dance will come as a fitting
climax to a week-long all-out campus
"March of Dollars" campaign aimed
at reaching a $5,000 quota. Student
solicitors started work yesterday can

obtain a one dollar contribution from
each member of the student body.
Half of the funds collected during
the week plus those taken in as a
result of the charity ball will be sent
to the National foundation for Infan
tile Paralysis. The other half will be
used to purchase an iron lung for this
county.
"By your dancing, you'll be giving
someone who can't walk now an even
chance of dancing some day," Pless
said. His club will work in conjunc
tion with the Daily Tar Heel, spon
sors of the campus campaign, in mak
ing the drive a success.
Government Property

Quonset hut area jimmied a "window
of a University storage warehouse
early this week and appropriated for
use in the huts about twenty bureaus
which were federal property, stored

the return of the bureaus but contem- j
plates no other action in the matter.

almost twice its normal capacity.
The University budget bureau has
already agreed to a $225,000 appro

Legislature, and a like sum of $225,000
would be put up by the town to pay

The shadowy forms above are Jooss ballet artists, portraying the satirical ballet, "The Green Table," which
will be presented here in the repertoire Monday night at 8:30 o'clock in Memorial hall. The ballet dramatically
satirizes the League of Nations, showing the "gentlemen in black" sitting around the table arguing after the
War.
The discussion leads to another war, after which they return to the table to repeat the process. The produc
tion won first prize at the International Congress of the Dance at Paris in 1932. It was the first time the medi
um of the dance had been used to convey such a message, described as a powerful political editorial.
Co-op Grocery Club to Hold
Food Buying Spree Tonight
By Ken Rothwell
Members of the Chapel Hill buying club and other persons in
terested in paring down household expenses will meet tonight at
7:45 o'clock in 103 Bingham hall for the co-op's first buying meet
ing of the year. Grocery orders will be accepted only in case lots.
Club officials explained that this ac
tion was necessary because of the im
possibility of sorting orders for indi
vidual customers without proper
warehouse facilities.
Ask Consolidation
"We are asking co-op patrons to
consult with their neighbors as to
their needs and then present consoli
dated orders for two or three families
at tonight's meeting," explained
chairman Tom McDade.
McDade further stated that those
persons who wish to place an order
will have an opportunity to become
active co-op members by purchasing
at least one share of stock at one dol
lar per share from co-op stock sales
manager John Campbell.
"Not only does , this stock entitle a
person to make purchases at whole
sale prices through the club but also
it pays dividends up to 5 per cent per
year. We urge those who are able,
however, to purchase 10 shares, five
each. for husband and wife," explain
ed Thompson.
Following consolidation of orders
taken at the buying meeting pur
chases will be made at wholesale
prices and it is expected that delivery
will be made through neighborhood
chairmen on Saturday, January 25.
