The proposed monthly checks of $60 to all 55-year-old veterans of World War I and II, payment of $75 to those over 65, would add more than $1,000,000 to VA's annual budget at once, a survey showed. The agency now is spending about $6,500,000,000 a year. Only rough estimates were available. By 1980 VA statisti cians look for 7,682,000 World War II veterans in the age group 55 through 64. In the same year 1,362,000 will have passed age 65. Unless some restrictions on outside income are included in the pension plans, all these men would be expected to collect their monthly checks. The Le gion asked for pensions without income restrictions. Currently, 1,543,000 veterans of the first world war would be eligible for $60 payments under the Legion proposal. Another 57,000 would get monthly checks of $75. The World War I eligibles would rise for several years, then start dropping. By 1995 only 3,000 are expected to be alive. Only 25,000 World War II vet erans are in the $60 brackets now, and 4,500 would be eligible for the $75 payments. The total of both groups would reach its peak about 1980. By the year 2,000 an estimated 3,769,000 would still be alive all, of course, over age 55. BRIGHT-EYED BETTY SMITH demonstrates how to handle color cards for this afternoon's game with LSU. The stunt in question is the American flag which will be animated to wave through a flipping action with two separate cards. In picture No. 1. Betty selects her two cards as denoted by her seal instruction card. She places them back to back. On the signal from Cheerleader Sper, Betty goes down (No.2) .with her first color turned downward. At the second signal she comes up again (No. 3) with her first card at eye level. On the flip command, Betty turns her cards (No. 4) and assumes the final position (No. 5) with cards again at eye level. The flipping back and forth on commands will wave the flag. Betty is a Tri Dell pledge, but that's a Wake Forest fraternity pin she's wearing.

Fox' imild looking man at the inside NEW YORK, Oct. 22. (UP) desk pressed a buzzer to let in Walk right into national Com munist headquarters. Look around the offices. Talk to the secretaries. Take a peep in the council room where party leaders meet. Walk right in. Just try it. I did. I have been trying it for the past three days. There's an "Iron Curtain" right here in New York. It's a steel door with a peephole and it guards the re ception room at Communist head quarters. A slow-moving elevator takes you to the top floor and opens into a small hall. In the hall are three doors, all locked and one I with the peephole the size of a small grapefruit. It has a metal shutter which slides over the hole when complete privacy is desired. I got in the reception room the first day simply because a Kind Sergeants, Hot Meals To Be Features of New Army YORK, Pa., Oct. 22. (UP) Veterans won't be able to rec ognize the new Army. Gen. Jacob L. Devers, chief of the Army field forces, said to night that draftees practically will swim in kind sergeants, hot meals, pay advances and sight seeing tours of their posts. What's more, Devers told the Pennsylvania state convention of American war mothers, billiard ball haircuts are out. He said the Army will cut each man's hair just the way he wants it. First of all, Devers said, the draftee will be sent to a post as near home as possible. He will be met at the train "no matter how or when he arrives." The inductee sits down prompt ly to a . hot meal. Then he gets an advance on his pay and will be issued toilet articles and a raincoat. "The processing which follows is spread over a week," Devers said. "The draftee's uniform will be individually fitted. He will take a sight-seeing tour of the post." The boy who heard about tough sergeants will be in for a surprise, Devers said. The men in charge of the draftees will not swear. k tajR?5? 2? n.i group yesterday afternoon. Winn said that there were too many long-term legislators held over from last spring and that the slate from each district will not be balanced. He also an nounced that the board had set a man he recognized. I walked in with him. A request to look over the place obviously startled the reception ist. He referred me to Joseph North, who handles publicity for the Communist party and also has an office on the floor below, where the newspaper, The Daily Worker, is located. North said he thought I had a good idea. But he said I should talk to some of the party officials who, unfortunately, were either in conference or out of town. I replied that, while I would like to talk to them, my real idea was just to describe what the place looked like. North said he would try to arrange it for Thursday. On Thursday, North said that unfortunately all the officials were tied up again. So far as I (See COMMUNIST, page 4) "They .will set him an example in their personal conduct, man ners, morals, speech and mili tary courtesy," Devers added. And just to make sure that mothers know how their sons are getting along, Devers said the company commander will write to parents, telling them how the boys are doing.

(UP) A petition calling for a referendum of student opinion on football coach Harry Stuhldreher still circulated today, but a large portion of the University of Wis consin student body was solidly behind the coaching staff and the team. About 2,000 students, led by the university band, paraded to the practice field yesterday to demonstrate its support of Stuhl dreher and his squad. Stuhldreher told the crowd, "I thank you a thousand times," and team captain Clarence Self said "we're going to beat Ohio State Saturday." The team was scheduled to leave early today by plane for Columbus, O., and tomorrow's game with the Buckeyes. The Badgers were the underdogs.

Charlotte News Supports Dewey CHARLOTTE, Oct. 22. (UP) The Charlotte News for the first time in its 60-year history bolted the Democratic party yes terday to support Republican Thomas E. Dewey for president. In an editorial, the News said: "In a very critical period of our history, when this nation needs unity and cohesiveness, Dewey gives promise of being a strong leader in handling the Russian problem. In comparison with his opponent; and this is surely a contest of man against man Tom Dewey comes forward as a leader of stronger convictions, greater vision and more enlight enment." The News said that the sooner the deadlock between President Truman and Congress can be broken, the sooner the problems of the home front can be solved. SUff Photos by Mills Snavelymen Fifth Win Of By Dick Jenrelle Carolina's unbeaten Tar Heels make' their bid for victory number five of the grid year today when Louisiana State's Tigers invade Kenan stadium for one of the nation's top intersectional clashes. Kickoff time will be at 2 o'clock before an expected crowd of 43,000. Sper Introduces Football Players At Capacity Rally By Jim Dickinson A near-capacity crowd of cheering students descended upon Memorial hall last night in a deafening pep rally which indi cates that spirits are reaching fever pitch for the pending clash with the clawing Tiger of LSU this afternoon. On hand to lead a becoming array of yells and cheers were Head Cheerleader Norm Sper and his blue-and-white clad as sistants. The University band gave out with "Thunder and Blazes," followed up by "Dixie" and a number of the Carolina fight songs. The surprise move of the even ing saw Norm Sper call 15 of the defensive - offensive stalwarts who control Tar Heel gridiron destinies to the stage that they might be introduced to the cheer ing mob. Sid Varney, the Toy Bulldog who plays guard on offense, dem onstrated his showmanship qual ity by taking over the mike and giving a little individual history on each of his teammates. His de- scriptions included home towns and jersey numbers of the re spective players. He received a good hand from the crowd after having gone through without a mistake. After co-captain Hosea Rodg ers spoke a few words of praise for the great spirit and support being shown the footballers by the student body, co-captain Dan Stiegman took the mike and quoted teammate Varney as hav ing said "we'll tie some knots in that Tiger's tail." Another highlight of the even ing involved short speeches by the president and vice-president of the LSU student body, who graciously came forth upon be ing called from the audience. Adkins To Speak On Public Service "Testing Problems in the Pub lic Service" will be the topic of an address to be given by Miss Dorothy C. Adkins, professor of psychology in the University, at a meeting of the local chapter of the American Society for Public Administration, Monday evening at 8 o'clock in room 208 Caldwell. Formerly chief of the test de velopment unit of the U. S. Civil Service Commission, Miss Adkins has been a frequent contributor to professional journals. A short business meeting will be held for the election of offi cers after her talk. Grail Sponsoring Informal Dance Tonight from 8:30 to 12 o'clock the Grail is sponsoring an in formal dance at Woollen gym nasium. The football teams of both L.S.U. and the University are guests of the Grail. Tickets will be sold at the door at $1 for couples or stags. A Greater Virtue Dr. Frank P. Graham received a letter yesterday from the presi dent of Louisiana State Universi ty sending his regrets that he would be unable to attend the Carolina-LSU game today. The letter said, "Tell your team that kindness and mercy are great virtues, we are expecting both." But Justice is a greater virtue. Todloy Seeking Season ' Coach Carl Snavely's locals have been installed as heavy fav orites to subdue their rivals from the Bayou State, and most ob servers pick the Tar Heels to win by four touchdowns. Carolina will be out to take its 12th con secutive win over a two-year span. In its last start, LSU dropped a 22-0 decision to Georgia, a team the Tar Heels defeated, 21 14. Other Tiger scores show vic tories over Rice, 26-13, and Texas A & M, 14-13, and a 33-0 defeat at the hands of the University of Texas Longhorns. Carolina beat Texas, 34-7, in the only other game which might serve as a basis for comparing Carolina and LSU. Injury Trouble Comparative scores, however, possibly will prove misleading this week, for no less than seven Carolina players are on the injur ed list. Veteran Tackle Ted Hazel wood is the latest addition to this group. Ted received a gun shot in the leg this week while target prac ticing. The accident occurred when Coach Snavely gave the squad a day off from drills. Bill Wardle, a standout guard, also won't be around to bolter the line. He has a shoulder injury. Al Bernot is the only other Tar Heel lineman that will miss the game. He has been out all season. The backfield has been hard est hit by injuries. Don Hartig, Fred Sherman, Bill Flamisch, and Bobby Weant all will miss today's action. Two of these Flamisch and Sherman are wingbacks, creating a weakness at this posi tion. In an effort to fill the gap, Snavely has shifted Fullback Bob Kennedy to this post. He will back up starter Johnny Clements. New Plays Practice sessions this week in the Tar Heel camp have been rough, generally. Although the team scored a 14-0 victory over N. C. State in its last game, neither the blocking, passing, or kicking were very impressive. During the week, Coach Snave ly has instituted some new plays, but it seems unlikely that they will be used today. The Louisiana State team ar rived yesterday afternoon after a plane trip to North Carolina. They are quartered at the Wash ington Duke in Durham. Gaynell Tinslcy, an All-Ameri can for LSU in 1936 and 1937, is the head football coach of the Tigers. He succeeds the veteran Bernie Moore, who left the Louis iana coaching job last season to become commissioner of the Southeastern conference. LSU is minus its ace passer of last season, Y. A. Tittle. His place has been taken by Charlie Pevey, a two-year veteran. Pevey will handle the vital quarterback position in the Tiger's T-forma- tion. Other bag men in the Tiger backfield are Zollie Toth, Rip Collins, and Bill Schroll. Collins and Schroll are both seniors. The last time a Louisiana State team played in North Carolina was back in 1929, when Duke checked the Bengals, 32-6. Informal Rushing Will Still Go On Feme Hughes, president of Pan Hellenic council, announced yes terday that signing-up for in formal rushing had been discon tinued, but that informal rushing would continue throughout th year.
