(International Radiophoto) Congress Argues UMT and Draft Washington, April 4 (UP) Congress heard more of the pro and con today in the controversy over a draft and universal mili tary training. Thoroughly against both vof them is a famous American his torian, 73-year-old Charles Beard. He did not testify in person be fore the senate armed services committee. Instead Dr. Charles Tansill of George Washington University read Beard's state ment. Beard argued that military training violates the principles on which America was founded. He says it would give the Army too much power. Says Beard, "If the President and military leaders force con scription upon the American peo ple, they will find that instead of gaining in national security, they will have destroyed the real essence of American strength the spirit of a free people which has twice brought victories over conscripted armies." Red, US Intrigue Stirs In Berlin MP Blockade Holds 9 Armed Russians In Railroad Depot By United Press The nine Russians holed up in Berlin's railroad headquarters apparently decided to bed down for the night yesterday. Every now and then one of the Soviet officials appeared at a window of the ancient' red brick building and stared down at the American military police blocking the front door. General Lucius Clay has an nounced that he will 'keep his troops around the building as long as the Russians keep armed guards inside. The railroad head quarters is in the American sec tor, a spot which Clay main tains should be kept free of arm ed Russians. It was a spot that I observers likened to a scene from ! a comic opera. Russian majors i and even be-medalled generals would drive up to the guarded building, exchange a few words with the American MP's, and then stalk away.

Young Democrats Club Secures Ramsey as Speaker for Tuesday "The Democratic Party in North Carolina" will be discussed by D.

McGregor, head of the Commerce school's marketing de partment addressed the Delta Sigma Pi fraternity banquet held Thursday evening in the Caro line Inn. McGregor's talk was concern ed primarily with present busi ness trends and an attempt to guage those which may be ex pected in the immediate future. During the course of his talk, he reviewed the history of the expected Recession which has not yet materialized. He pointed out that, in spite of the fact that business was still abnormally poor, Northern merchants had cut beginning salaries for college men a total of 25 to 75 dollars per month. He reminded his audience that this seriously affected the hopes of a Carolina commerce graduate who might now be fortunate to start work at a $175 per month salary. The speaker explained that, al though department store sales have been held up by special sales, an enforced cut of as much as 15 per cent in prices could put their operations in the red. Recession has been held off, he said, by pent-up demand, but the draining off of family sav ings by inflated costs has now (See McGREGOR, page 4) , . tto president, secretary-treasurer and editor of the Daily Tar Heel, and two-minute talks by candidates for the editorship of Tarnation and Yackety Yack. The entire meeting is only scheduled to last one hour, in order to permit students to at tend the Franz Polgar hypnot ism show which is to be pres ented at 8 o'clock in Memorial hall by the Student Entertain ment committee. Mental Magician to Give Another Show Here in Memorial Hall Tomorrow Night By Sally "He came. We saw. He conqured!" was the comment by Chapel Hillians following the first appearance of Dr. Franz Polgar, telepathist and hypnotist extraordinary, here on the campus. Polgar will again conquer the campus at his third appearance here tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in Memorial hall. Everywhere that "The Amaz ing Dr. Polgar" has appeared, the reaction has been similar. Audi ences are baffled, perplexed, and highly amused by Polgar's dem onstrations of mental telepathy, I memory feats, and the power of suggestion. Professors Floored Entitled, "Miracles of Mind,' the program entertains the lay man and bafflles the scientist. William Engle, science editor ot the New York World-Telegram wrote, "Polgar floored the pro fessors of psychology at New York university in their tests. It was, they agreed, an undeniable demonstration of thought trans ference." Tomorrow night's performance is being sponsored by the re organized Student Entertain ment committee in an attempt to pay off the $1,500 debt incur red by the group when student entertainment was on a volun tary basis. To Liquidate Debt Under the new organization of the committee, each student will pay 25 cents per quarter toward entertainment of a classical na ture for the entire student body, and an attempt will be made to secure artists of excellent quali ty. In order to make the program a success, the previously incur red debt must be liquidated. "Students are therefore getting more than an evening of grand entertainment when they attend Monday night's performance," said Bill Shuford, Graham Me morial director who is handling ticket sales for the Polgar show. .'They are also helping to start student entertainment off on a sound financial basis, a condition essential to its success." A native Hungarian, Polgar knew not a word of English when he arrived in America, but that did not deter him, he claims. For thoughts, like appearances on the lecture platform, Dr. Polgar rap idly became such a success that he is now one of America's most successful and popular lecture personalities. The respect in which Dr. Pol- gar is held is indicated by the 4,. y " 4 BILL DUNCAN AND KYLE BARNES (left to right) are run ning on the UP ticket for editor of the Yackety Yack and sopho more class president respectively. Duncan is now serving as Yack picture co-ordinalor and has had five years of experience in pub lications work. Barnes has also been nominated by the UP for the Student Legislature; he is president of the Sigma Chi pledge class and was president of the National Honor society in high school. Tomorrow "It is the duty of all students to come and acquaint them selves with the people who will asume office for the coming year," President Eller empha sized last night. The mass meeting was com pulsory for coeds last year, but that move was done away with this time because it was felt that the campus would suffi ciently realize the importance of the gathering to be present. Woodhull ! DR. FRANZ POLGAR fact that he is the only member of his profession to be listed in "Who's Who in America". Helfman Will Present- Novel Lecfurc With Piano Accompaniment Tonight Tonight at 8 o'clock in Hill hall, Max Helfman, - distinguished musician and lecturer, will pres ent an unusual type of lecture- recital, using as his title, "Jewish Music and Jewish Survival."

No Platforms Today The platforms of candidaiei for head cheerleader, accord ing to the schedule published twice during the past week in the Daily Tar Heel, were sup posed to be published in this edition.
