The measure would call up for two years of military service young men 19 to 25 years old who are not veterans. Passage of the proposal by the committee went through after Defense Secretary Forrestal branded it "excellent." It is, j straight draft legislation with no mention of universal military training. It does not apply to 18-year-olds, who would be called up for one year of domestic train ing under the Senate measure. (.11 Reserve Exemptions Men who were in the army for more than 90 days but less than a year could be drafted, but they would be exempted if they j joined an organized reserve. All ' other veterans would be exempt under the bill. Drafting would begin 90 days after the bill became law. High school students under 20 years old would be permitted to gradu ate before their induction. Col lege students would be allowed to finish out an academic year. Third Year After each draftee served a two-year tour of duty, at home or abroad, he would have to join the inactive reserves for five years. He could avoid this by signing on for another year of regular military service. The drafting would be done, as it was in World War II, by neighbor hood draft boards. Before the formal vote, Sec retary Forrestal admitted he ac tually prefers the Senate bill, which combines the draft with universal military training. MUGGER TO SPEAK At the regular Tuesday night supper meeting of the married couples' and graduates' group of Wesley foundation the Rev. Bern ard Munger, pastor of the Con gregational church of Chapel Hill, will continue a discussion on "Modern Problems in Interpre ting the Bible." The picnic sup per will be held at the Methodist church at 6:45, and interested students are cordially invited to attend. N. C. Veterans Will Get Subsistence For 15 Days After Spring Session Raleigh, May 3 Wolrd War II veterans attending schools, colleges and universities in North Carolina under the GI Bill of Rights will receive automatically suhsistoTipi navments for 15 days I after the spring sessions end, but will not be eligible for service men's readjustment ' allowances under the GI bill while receiving the subsistence allowances. This announcement was made today by Henry E. Kendall, chair man of the Employment Security commission of North Carolina, which administers this provision of the Servicemen's . Readjust ment act of 1944 under direction of the Veterans administration. Fine or Jail Students under this program should make sure their GI sub sistence payments have stopped before they file claim for unem ployment allowances, since, in cases of deliberate attempts to defraud, there may be a fine or jail penalty for drawing "con current payments," as well as the ' forfeiture of all rights under the readjustment allowance program, Chairman Kendall explained. In cidentally, he cited 192 cases of fraud in all types of veteran claims were referred to the Fed eral Government for prosecution in March and April. -Veterans are reminded also that M5A they are required to apply for THE COEDS pictured above were selected by the Monogram club as sponsors for ihe annual Blue-White football game played Saturday afternoon in Kenan Stadium.

Ap pointments may be made by sign ing an appointment sheet at the information desk, main lobby of South building, after 2 o'clock any day this week. Those students who have been notified of their transferral to the upper college should not make an appointment with a general college adviser but should regis ter in the' College of Arts and Sciences or the School of Com merce. A later announcement will be made concerning the pre-regis tration of those students who will return in' September but who will not attend summer school. jobs, be available for work, able to work and willing to take suit able jobs before they are eligi ble to unemployment allowances during their vacation periods. Too, they are required to show that they have acutlly sought work on their own initiative if the commission's North Carolina State Employment service divisi on is not able to locate jobs for them. Not Too 'Choosy" Moreover, Chairman Kendall pointed out, veterans are not ex pected to be too "choosy" in the types of jobs they will accept, since at best their work will be temporary, if they plan to re enter school in the fall. Normally such jobs as those found in farm ing, food processing, vacation re sorts, lumbering and other seas onal work will be considered suitable for temporary jobs for most student veterans. Unemployment allowances are by no means intended as vaca tion pay and the status of all veterans who file claims for ben efits will be scrutinized closely by personnel in local Employ ment Security offices, Chairman Kendall said. Veterans eligible for unemployment benefits will receive them, but every effort will be made to find and require them to take reasonably suitable jobs during the summer months, he said. were Lillian DeArmon of Char-' lotte and Joyce Petreson of Brooklyn, N.

Harrer Directs The pageant, which was writ ten by members of Chi Delta Phi, was under the direction of Mar cella Harrer of Chapel Hill. It was enacted by members of the junior high school group of Chap el Hill. The pageant opened with the old English ballad, "Summer Is A-Comin' In," played in rondo from by a trio of faculty mem bers, A. L. Lancaster, Eugene Davis, and G. A. Harrer. The ac tion took place in the land of Somewhere and represented a court scene where a prince was charged to find a bride before his 2'st birthday. The devil conjured up famous beauties of history before the prince, but they were rejected. The May Court was announced as the attendants entered the the ater; and the prince found the queen to be the one for whom he was searching.

This ruling gave a victory to American Negroes and other mi nority groups. The Court's de cision would apply to a Negro family that moves into a neigh borhood having an all-white cov enant. Under the new ruling, tht family cannot be forced to move out by legal action. i However, the high court main4 tained that private covenants are in themselves legal. In othen words, if the land-owners in one! area wish to join together and set up rules governing their neighborhood, the action would not be illegal although the group could not go into any court to enforce the agreement. Other important decisions pass ed by the Supreme Court today included sending back to a low er court the anti-trust suit a gainst eight big movie compan ies. The suits will carry the Su preme Courts suggestions for tougher penalties . against the movie firms. The Court also held that it is illegal for large grocery chains to undersell independent grocers by wholesale discount plans. In another ruling the court up held the right of states to impose taxes on oleomargarine.

Damon Misses Rock-Wall By Jim Dickinson "I feel like a man without a country," was the wailing cry made Sunday by Walter Damon, former Carolina student who transferred recently to N. C. State college to study architec ture. "I'm trying desperately to di vide equally my loyalty between the two leading counterparts of the Greater University," he moaned. Damon, a Robeson county pro duct, came over for the week-end to see the BlueWhite skirmish and "to catch up on my rock wall time in front of BVP." He admitted a long-harbored desire to see Choo Choo Justice in ac tion again. mmmmon We Chairmen Of Three Committees Are Released By Jess Dedmond President Jess Dedmond ap pointed chairmen of three student government committees yester day and released the names of newly appointed committee mem berships.

It will be the final major production of the Playmakers' 30th season, and is to be directed by Foster Fitz-Simons.1 Selection of "Cyrano" was made after many requests for it had been recived. It replaces the previously announced "The Shoe- maker's Holiday." Samuel Seldon, department head, said, "We have wanted to present 'Cyrano' for several years, and the demand for it has in creased steadily, but this is the first time that we have had the necessary number of trained technicians for producing the five sets of scenery needed in the short time we have on a crowded schedule." ' First Given in 1897 . "Cyrano de Bergerac" was first produced at the Theatre Porte Saint-Martin in Paris during 1897, and the first night audience rose to its feet -at the close of each of the five acts and cheered for minutes. It was so well liked that the second night crowd caused a riot in the streets 'out side as people fought for tickets. Director Fitz-Simons, who held tryouts last week, announced ov er thirty of the cast members. The leading role of Cyrano will be acted by Frederick Johnson, and Gloria Gunn will portray the heroine, Roxane.

"World problems to be solv ed effectively must first or last be reviewed and considered by a gathering of representa tives at the rock wall on Frank lin Street," said Damon philo sophically. Realizing he was veering to far from his dilemma, the State stu dent promptly remarked, "Yes, I'm afraid I'm falling rapidly into a state of schizophrenia (split personality). When I'm here my heart is there; when I'm there my heart is here." When prompted to make a comparison of athletics at the two institutions, he said thought fully, "Coach Case occupies the same pedestal position at State that Coach Snavely enjoys here.

For Slide-Rule Slaves Time is no less a shining light on the State campus than Justice is here." Damon admitted that he feels on the Carolina campus a "more casual atmosphere" than that which he senses at N. C. State. "This is due largely, I think, to the greater amount of free time the average Carolina student en joys. It's a morn-till-night prop osition at State on a six-day basis. The student there is a slave to the slide-rule," he explained. When asked about the quality' of instruction at the two schools Damon said "about on an even ' keel, but stated modestly that a "more studious student" then he should be asked to judge such matters RJI nl headed by Secretary-Treasurer Bob Kirby.
