But the play wasn't as pro fessional as some Mr. Truman has seen. lie told them that Gov. Mon Wallgren of Washington will be down next week and would give :them some pointers.

WSSF Drive Is Postponed Until Winter New Drive Date ; Set Jan. 10-16 The World Student Service Fund drive Which was to be held from Nov. 29 to Dec. 4 has been postponed until the winter quarter, Dortch Warriner, JWSSF chairman, said yesterday. '.The postponement," Warriner said, "was necessary because stu dent government elections and Thanksgiving holidays w o ul d make adequate publicity impos sible at this time. It was also felt that the expense of football week ends and big dances drain stu dents financially before they can contribute justly to world educa tion. "The new date for the drive will be Jan. 10 through 16. This is a week upon which 'the WSSF committee finally decided as more satisfactory for less competition with other campus activities." Only event still planned for this month as part of the fund raising will be the sale of blue and white confetti at the Duke Carolina game.

Williams Hurls Reply Back At SP Leaders University Party Chairman Says SP Trying to 'Dupe Student Body' By Bill Buchan Thurman Williams, chairman of the University party and the leg islature rules committee replied to Student party charges of neg ligence yesterday afternoon by accusing SP leaders of a "deliber ate attempt to dupe the student body in believing three things which are misconceptions." "I am guilty of nothing except by my own admissions," Williams stated. "I have yet to be notified by the Student council that they will have anything to do with such political maneuvers."

(UP) The Army may be forced to ask Congress to draft doctors unless sufficient medical personnel volunteers, it was revealed today. . Col. Laurence Potter, procure- " ment officer of the medical corps, said at a meeting of the American Public Health association that the "pinch is on" as far as medical manpower is concerned. He quoted Maj. Gen. Raymond W. Bliss, surgeon general of the Army, as saying: "If medical personnel sufficient to care properly for the health of the expanded Army does not come voluntarily, there will be no other recourse but to submit a bill to Congress to draft the necessary personnel." Potter estimated the Army's present medical strength at 4,400 physicians, 750 dentists, 342 vet erinarians, 4,350 nurses, 3,000 medical service corps. This is enough to care for the present Army, he said, but the needs will be increased as the forces expand through the draft and present personnel drops through discharges and the re lease of "large numbers of non volunteer officers now on active duty who will have completed their service." Potter estimated the replace ment needs of the Army medical corps at 1,500 a year for physi cians, with other services in pro portion. The three items, as listed by Williams, are (1) That he was unwilling to publish the names i of members absent from the Leg islature. "This is not so," Williams said. "In the future, this will be promptly attended to in order to give the student body an op portunity to see who is really serving them and to prevent such technicalities hurled as per sonal insults. In an effort to put an end to this whole unpleasant I affair, I would like to withdraw all charges against legislature clerk, Jack Worsham. Williams went on to explain what he termed the "second pur pose of the political infamy" as "an effort on the part of the SP to lead students to believe that it is serving as a watchdog for the students. It is my sincere belief that the accusations did not stem from a desire to protect the stu dents, rather, it was a deliberate attempt to smear the name of the University party."
