Un-American Group
Hears Former Envoy
Washington, March 24. (UP)
Former U. S. Ambassador to Russia
William Bullitt warns that Russia is
planning to attack America. Bullitt
told the House Un-American Activi
ties committee that if Russia had the
atomic bomb, and America didn't,
the Soviet would already have dropped
one.
He said the so-called . "fifth, col
umn" of the Russians is trying to
take over key positions ; throughout
the world in preparation for an at
tack on the United States!
Stalin Directing
Premier Stalin allegedly is direct
ing the plot and will only give up
when the United States tells him to
stop. In Bullitt's words, "Stalin, like
Hitler, will not stop of his own ac
cord. He can only be stopped."
And the time is growing short, says
Bullitt, for America to speak tip and
give the stop signal. Until that can
be done, he - recommended a tight
guard over our atomic secrets and
maintenance of a fleet of planes armed
with A-bombs ready for any emer

Freshmen Retain
Class Executive
By Chock Hanser
Steve Nimocks, freshman from
Fayetteville, has been declared
president of the Freshman class
in a statement released by Chair
nan Johnny Clampitt of the Student
Legislature Elections committee.
In the elections held March 11,
tabulation of ballots indicated that a
run-off election would be held between
Nimocks and N. A. Winn. The third
candidate, Bill Wood, was disqualified,
however, which, according to Clam
pitt, gives Nimocks a majority.
Dispute Superfluous
Clampitfs statement in full fol
lows: "The freshman elections were con
ducted by the elections board in the
correct manner. The dispute over
which of the two candidates, Nimocks
or Winn, is president is superfluous,
legally speaking.
"The third candidate (Wood) was
disqualified and the votes cast for him
are void. Nimocks has a majority of
the other two. He is president! If any
Freshman thinks there was foul play,
let him prove it and we will gladly
hold another election.' '
Nimocks was formerly elected presi
dent of his class in the ill-fated Jan
uary SO elections which were voided
by the Student council t on com-
stitutionai grounds.
Other election results are: Fresh
men: Ralph Lee, Paul Baschon, run-
cff for vice-president: Stuart Bon-
drrrant, secretary-treasurer; Jo West,
social chairman.
Sophomores : Curt Youngblood,
Lusty Leonard, run-off for president;
Carl Durham, vice-president; Miles
Smith, secretary-treasurer; Jerry
Pence, social chairman.

Unapproved Books
Must Be Returned
' By Sigsbee Miller
H. H. Ritchie, head of the Uni
versity Retail Exchange, which
includes the Veterans Book Ex
change, yesterday afternoon de
nied reports that the Veterans Book
! Ex was refusing to issue books to stu
dent veterans who had failed to re
turn books which they received with
out authorization last quarter.
"The issuing of books for the
spring quarter is not contingent on
the veterans' returning unauthorized
Looks," Ritchie said. "We are merely
asking that these books be returned.
We give the students a chance to go
to their rooms for the books without
losing their places in line. If they are
enable to return the books they may
pay fpr them."
600 Return Books
Out of 700 veterans who received
unauthorized books last quarter, 600
have returned them upon request,
Ritchie said. .
Jimmy Williams, University attor
ney, made it clear that no attempts to
force the return of unauthorized books
would be made. He defined an au
thorized book as "one that is required
for the personal use of all students
pursuing the same course, as speci
fied by the. person responsible for
teaching the eosxsa. (''
Williams displayed a memorandum
to veterans which states clearly that
"any unauthorized books received by
veterans cannot be billed to the Vet
erans administration. Each veteran,
when he is given a letter of credit to
the Book Exchange by the University,
states that he will pay for books and ;
supplies not. authorized under the!
cbove laws." A copy of this memoran-1
dum is put in the hands of every vet
eran before books, are issued, Wil
liams said.

VA training officer, as in-the past, of
any change of address in order that

within the same postal delivery area
provided the mail carrier is notified of
the change. By following this pro
cedure, the veteran-trainee can guard
against delay in the receipt of his
check until VA has his new mailing
