Triumphant Chicago The University delegation to the Intercollegiate UN confer ence held Wednesday, Thursday, tnd Friday in Chicago returned to Chapel Hill last night jubilant over the election of Delegation Chairman Bill Crisp to the con ference presidency. Ann Wells and John Stump, R the other two delegates, declared that Crisp's virtually unanimous election on the first ballot to the highest office available at the conference could be interpreted "both as a tribute to Crisp and as a great honor for Carolina." With the exception of Duke, the University was the only North Carolina" group represent ed at the meeting, which was at-, tended by 51 universities from thfe United States and Canada. hi accordance with the plan tu make the conference a mock assembly functionin in , the same manner as the United Nations, each of the universities present "I Senator Takes Back Charge Against China Washington, March 27 (UP) Senator Vandenberg has taken back a charge by his Foreign Re lations committee that Chinese leaders are corrupt and ineffici ent. In a surprise statement, Van denberg withdrew the report. He says it "created an , impression which was. not intended." He took full responsibility for the report, saying, "I regret the incident." The report charged leaders of Chiang Kai Shek's government with what it called "ineptitude in military leadership and cor ruption." Vandenberg says the committee's real intentions were shown by its action in voting both civilian and military aid to the chinese government . - - Subsistence Increases Go Into Effect April 1; First Additional Pay May 1 Recent legislation increasing subsistence payments for vet erans under PL346 who are carrying a full study load be rbmes effective on April 1 and will be included in the checks received on May 1. Veterans eli gible under PL16 will-" receive an increase, but the scale Of in crease has not been released. Full instructions on necessary steps to qualify for the increased subsistence payments will be en closed in April 1 subsistence checks. A reasonable length of time wiH be provided to secure the necessary papers, but quicker action will be obtained if the veteran will have these papers in his possession when his April represented a member of the UN. The University delegation represented the Commonwealth of New Zealand. The conference considered several -problems now confron ting the United Nations, and its j General Assembly passed re solutions on the Palestine ques tion, the veto, and human rights. In the case of Palestine, a large bloc of Arab votes coupled with British desire to get out of the country as soon as possible, com bined to defeat a Jewish proposal that the country be partitioned. The assembly decided to put the country under the trusteeship of the United Nations for a period of five years. After lengthy consideration of numerous substitute measures, the conference , passed a resolu tion giving endorsement to Tru man's civil rights program.

A. Branch, school purchasing agent, said yesterday. University Business manager Claude Teague said this piece of war-time equipment will be of great service to the University community, increasing the vol ume of purified water from the present filter plant' by 100 gal ons a minute. The school's water facilities are greatly overtaxed, he added, and it will be some time before the new plant that is to be built in Carrboro will be ready for service. The portable plant is set up in a GI truck, obtained by the Uni versity in the same transaction, and is located beside the present filter plant. It can operate at maximum output 22 hours a day if cleaned frequently. It is driven by electricity instead of the gaso line motor used by the army; ' Branch said the only expense to the university in procuring this valuable piece of equipment was an outlay of $90 and the task of driving the plant down from the war surplus equipment depot in Baltimore. Stassen Questions MacArthur's Poliey Washington, March 27 (UP) General MacArthu.r's position on Communism came up for po litical argument today. In Milwaukee, Harold Stassen challenged the way General Mac- Arthur is handling what Stassen j calls the "Communist threat" in Japan and Korea. Stassen implied a charge that Korea is what he called "one of the worst spots in the world for Communist infiltration." 1 check reaches him: . If the veteran is single with no dependents, and is carrying a full study load, no further action is necessary. If the veteran is married and has no other dependents other than his wife, has already de posited a certified copy of his marriage license with the VA, and is carrying a full load no further action is necessary. If the veteran is married and is claiming a second dependent, either his child or another depen dent who is not his child, and is attending school full time, he must secure a birth certificate of the child to be forwarded to (See VA, page 4) Delegation Returns ment recognize distinction based on race, color, sex, or religion. Crisp, who worked with the Hu man Rights committee at the conference, promised that all phases of the resolution passed would be more fully explained later. With respect to the veto, the conference took no stand which would definitely eliminate it. A resolution was passed calling for stringent limitation of its use. On motion of Stump, who re presented the University on the committee which conidered the veto, the conference went "on re cord as favoring eventual revis ion of the veto power itself. This also, the delegates promised last night will be more fully explain ed at a later date.

Citing fraternities as particul-- arly outstanding among organi zations soliciting for the drive, Shuford named Phi Delta Theta as the top group, with a collect ion of $61.77. Runners-up in the fraternity division were Sigma Alpha Epsilon with $54, and Sig ma Chi with $51.23. "We wish to commend the fra ternities for the part they played in helping to make the drive as successful as it was,." Shuford said. The total collection in fra ternities was $369.22, approxi mately 40 percent of the entire solicitation. Chi O Leads Sororities Chi Omega led the sorority collections, with $34.22 out of the total of $67.24 solicited among sororities. Women's dormitories collected $126.40. Spencer led with its collection of $25.43, and Carr followed close behind with $24.55. Collections in the meh's dormi tories totaled $228.18, and Alex ander led with $33.27. In Victory Village $151.64 was collected "I wish to thank all those who personally helped me to conduct the drive," Shuford said, "and to thank members of the Men's and Women's Interdormitory coun cils, Pan-Hellenic council, and Interfraternity council, and par ticularly the heads of those, or gamzations tor their extreme cooperation."

"Although the campaign was not as successful as we would like it to have been," Shuford went on, "we feel that a good job was done under the circum stances. Persons participating in the drive were extremely handi capped by the fact that the drive occurred so near exams." MITCHELL HONORED Washington, March 27 (UP) The nation has paid in part the debt it owes to the late Brigadier General William "Billy" Mitchell. Mitchell, who was court martial ed 22 years ago for demanding a strong air force, was honored today by top military officials. A special gold medal of honor was presented to his son, William Mitchell, Jr. it. Prominent speakers heard by the delegates during the course of the conference included Rich ard Winslow, assistant to Warren Austin, the US delegate to the UN, Adlai Stevenson, Democra tic candidate for governor of Illinois, Dr. Katz-Suchy, Polish ambassador to the US, and Sen ator Claude Pepper of Florida. Pepper and Stevenson espec ially emphasized that although the UN has failed to reach a de cision on many issues, it has re conciled national differences on as many more. However, a conviction that the United Nations can operate as a real force for world peace and security only if it receives the confidence now withheld from it by the great powers was, ac cording to the delegates, prob ably the most significant result to emerge from the conference (See UN, page 4) Moravian Church To Hold Services Winston-Salem, March 27 (UP) Thousands of worshipers are gathering here tonight in prepara tion for the 176th annual Easter sunrise service of Moravian church. Historic old Salem square will be roped off tonight and the throng of worshippers will be awakened early tomorrow morn- Mng by the brass bands of the Moravians parading through the streets.

Candidate Gems States Platform Pete Gerns, nominee of Cam pus and Student parties for senior membership on the Publications board, submitted the following platform yesterday. 1. Monthly open meetings sponsored by the ' Publications board and the editors of our pub lications to hear students' sug gestions for improvements. This will do away with any excuse any of the editors might have for not printing what the student body wants and will provide a means by which the student body can express its opinion on its publications directly to the ones in charge. "Don't Waste Money" "2 Close cooperation between the Publications board and the financial committees of our stu dent body. Let's appropriate the necessary funds to our publica tions, but let's not waste stu dents' money. Close cooperation between these agencies, espec ially during budgeting time, will work toward better distribution of available funds. "3. Orientation of Publication board members as to then duties shortly after their election by the student body. This feature will help those who have not had much to do with the financial side of publications becpine bet ter acquainted with a publica tion's financial problems. Selection by House "4. A yearly joint meeting of the Publications boards editors and business managers, to pre pare a slate of tiree qualified faculty members, one of whom to be selected by Chancellor House according to the provis ions of our constitution. By this method of selection we will get the most qualified faculty mem bers to sit with the Board." Gerns, who is present business manager of Tarnation and writes the "Campus Forum" column for the Daily Tar Heel, stated that he will uphold these planks in the interest of the student body if elected to the Publications board.

Eller Comments In commenting on the function of the board which was composed of four representatives of each of the parties, Eller said, "The board functioned in a highly ef ficient and cooperative way. This is a new thing on campus and sets a precedent for selecting non-partisan candidates to sit on a judiciary body. I hope it will be continued and improved next year." He continued "The fact that all three parties have been able to cooperate in selecting candidates for the most responsible positions in student government is an indi cation that they have the inter est of the Student Body at heart." Qualifications Omiiled Eller said that the board re quested that no qualifications of the candidates be mentioned, their party affiliations, or where they live in Chapel Hill. It was brought out that in mentioning qualifications it would be diffi cult to give each one equal space and therefore the board request ed it be omitted. Candidates were interviewed by the board in several meetings and were asked questions per (See COUNCIL, page 4) ft- ' 'i A' pi I - I if 1 1 r W J U.
