Phi Defeats Bill To
To Palestine Under
By Gordon Huffines
The Philanthropic assembly unanimously defeated a pro
posed measure to send 40,00 American troops to Palestine
under United Nations' control Tuesday night at the weekly
meeting of the assembly. The Phi bill was proposed as a meas
ure to end strife between Jewish-
and Arab factions in the Holy
Land.
Little support was given to the
bill by Phi debaters as substitute
bills were continually introduced
before the assembly in attempts
to defeat or alter the original
measure. .
Advocates Consultation
Leading a strong block in the
assembly, Representative George
Sieber introduced as a substi
tute to the Ways and Means bill,
a measure which advocated con
sultation with Russia and other
members of the UN over the mat
ter of sending troops into a par
titioned Palestine. The vote on
the substitute bill found the as-
9 sembly in a 10-10 deadlock which
-I -- - 1 . K V... 4 It Ttttctnl irc l;nu
of Speaker Chester D. zum Brun
H nen, defeating the measure.
Other alternative measures
based on the principles set forth
in Representative Sieber's bil
were also defeated by determin
ed members who refused to be
distracted from the original
measure.
Oppose Force
Strong opposition to the use or
force was expressed by Phi mem
bers who advocated peaceful ar
bitration as the only workable
solutaion in settling the conflict
between the two races over the
partition of Palestine. Other
members pointed out that, besides
the prohibitive cost of maintain
ing 40,00 troops in the Holy Land
and the danger involved to Amer
ican soldiers, such action would
increase attacks by Russia and its
satellites on United States "im
perialism," Referring to the strategic im
portance of Palestine, support
ers of the bill argued that United
States military power was need
ed in the Holy Land to protect
American interests in th neat
East. It was also . asserted that
the measure would give the UN
power to provide opportunity to
test the strength of the organiza
tion by enforcing the decision to
partition Palestine.
Hits Partition
Asserting that the main prob
lem was to find a way for the
Jews and Arabs to live together,
Representative Earnest House
stated, "Peace must come from
internal harmony." House ex
pressed opposition to the parti
tioning of Palestine and asserted
that force should not be used to
enforce the UN decision.

speaker of the Phi will be the

Heads First Club
At a meeting Monday night,
a Young Ptcpublican club was
formed here on the campus by
a number of students.
The subject of organizing was
discussed beforehand with G. N.
Harvard, chairman of the Repub
lican party of Orange county and
A. A. McDonald, a prominent Re
publican of Durham, according to
Milton Southerlin, one of the
organizers of the group.

Two-Hour Wait
Miss Beth Sears who plays yn

the bus she was riding between
Winston-Salem and Charlotte
which had to stop on a hairpin
curve and wait over two hours
for a highway crew to bring
enough cinders to spread over
the snow-covered road so they
could-resume the snail-pace trip.
Upon reaching Durham and
finding that she could not reach
Chapel Hill by bus, she hired a
taxi for the last 12 miles which
cost her $7.50 an expensive
jaunt at more than 62c a mile.

she never realized how nice it
was to be a flute player until she
saw other musicians struggling
with huge bass violin cases and
