Brought on, a candidate for the United States Senate, has written the Allied Church league that he is opposed to extensive adver tising of liquor and will favor any legislation to curb ads designed to tempt young people.

Beyond Proper Limits The former governor says that he is not sufficiently familiar with the Capper bill to discuss it, but says he jels that advertising of a'lcoholic beverages has gone be yond all proper and reasonable limits.

Stocker, one of the country's fore most eye specialists now prac ticing at McPherson Hospital in Durham, , spoke to group of in terested students and faculty last Thursday night in the medical school auditorium. His talk, sponsored by the Beta Iota chapter of the Univer sity professional medical frater nity, Alpha Kappa Kappa, under the auspices of the national Eye Bank for Sight -Restoration, was on his own surgical specialty, the corneal transplant. Operation Described Many persons who have super ficial injuries to the front of the eye cannot see because of result ing scar tissue, Dr. Stocker ex- I plained. This scarred material can (be removed and replaced by sim ilar material taken from another human eye. This operation is called a "corneal transplant" and is the method sponsored and aided by the Eye Bank organiza tion. Dr. Stocker described this pro cedure and illustrated it with a motion picture showing in detail its delicacy and resulting success. By progress slides following the picture, the eminent physician demonstrated how successful the technique has been in restoring sight to many of the blind. He emphasized that thousands would benefit from this operation if enough human eyes were avail able to provide material for trans plantings.

A combined dispatch transmit Three NationsAsk Russians to Agree To Return Trieste Trieste, April 9 (UP) The United States, Britain, and France have again asked the Kremlin to join them in giving Trieste back to Italy. Since this is the second time the question has been brought up, the joint maneuver obviously is aimed at making Russia show her hand before the critical Ital ian elections April 18. The question is a sore spot for Russia. If the Soviet agreet to revise the Italian peace treaty, it will be a blow to Marshall Tito's Communist government in Yugo slavia. If the Russians say "no", there will be strong anti-Communist feelings on the eve of the elections. Thus far, the Soviet Union has ignored an original proposal to make Trieste, now a free terri tory, Italian. The latest proposal made in similar notices was de livered to the Soviet embassies in Washington, London and Paris. In. Trieste itself, Allied intelli gence agents say Yugoslavia is expected to seal off its zone on 'all but one main highway in two weeks. It is believed the Yugo slavs will claim they are acting to clamp down on Italian under ground activities and to prevent refugees from fleeing into the American and British zone.

Truman Advisors Warn Consumers To Use Economy Washington, April 9 (UP President Truman's top economic experts said tonight that the na tion must tighten its belt to pre vent more inflation under the new defense program. The warning that this country must adopt 'spartan measures to keep on an even keel comes from the latest report of the Presi dent's council of economic advis ors. It is the first time the sur veys have been made public. Mr. Truman evidently released this data to emphasize the need for economic self-discipline in view of the stepped up defense and foreign aid programs. The council calls for reduced government spending and for price, wage, and ration controls in certain critical industries. The economic experts also say that the new tax law increases the pressure of inflation. They call for increased taxes if future mili tary expenses are not offset by reduced government costs in oth er fields.
