T TTT " LBimirs or L Special S oions Sen. Bridges Would Also Send MacArthur Or Other Top-Flight Military to China WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-(UP)-iA special session of Congress to provide immediate emergency help for Communist-threatened China was-proposed today by Sen Styles Bridges, R., N. H. He also urged prompt dispatch of a top-notch American military, adviser to China, such as Gen. Douglas MacArthur or Gen. Al bert Wedemeyer, to help stiffen Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's shaken defenses. Bridges' move coincided with the disclosure that Chinese Am bassador Wellington Koo called on acting Secretary of State Rob ert A. Lovett yesterday to de liver an urgent plea for immedi ate American help. The envoy said he spent 45 minutes with Lovett explaining "the gravity of the situation in China and the importance of im mediate American aid both material and moral to the Chinese cause." He said the United States is doing her best to speed up de liveries of the $125,000,000 worth of arms and $275,000,000 worth of economic goods ticketed for his country under the $400,000, 000 China aid program passed by the 80th Congress. Bridges said the situation in China is "desperate," although Chiang's forces are claiming vic tory in a critical battle with Com munist armies on the northern approaches to Nanking. He called on President Tru man to summon the 80th Con gress to receive the "real facts" and take whatever action is need ed. "A positive and effective American air program is urgent ly needed to prevent the Com munists from taking over the whole of China, lock, stock and barrel," he said. A White House spokesman at Mr. Truman's Key West, Fla. va cation retreat said the President had no comment on the special session proposal. Bridges, who is chairman of the Senate Appropriations com mittee and of the joint Congres sional committee created to keep tabs on American foreign aid programs, gave no indication that he had cleared his proposal with the Republican leadership. He put the decision squarely up to President Truman, although the Republican high command al so can recall the lawmakers for a lame duck session between now and the end of the year, when the 80th Congress dies and. the Democrats come into power. But there appeared little like lihood that either the President or the GOP leaders would issue a special session call."

Zionists Hear Rabbi Gulstrom At Initial Meet Intercollegiate Zionist Federa tion of America held its first general meeting on Thursday night at Graham Memorial. Rab bi Simon Gulstrom of the Beth- El synagogue in Durham spoke on the influence of Zionism on the American Jew. Morton Rubin, educational di rector of the IZFA, summarized the purposes and plans of the organization, after which Irving Greenspon, IZFA president, in troduced Rabbi Glustrom. Rabbi Glustrom pointed out that in influencing the Gentile, Zionism seems to have quelled anti-semitism. Zionism uplifts Jewish morale, the Rabbi said. Jewish history is no longer a tradegy but an epic creation, he added. Summing , up the progress the Jew has made in his struggle for freedom, the Rabbi declared, "In spite of many failures in the history of the Jew, he can always look back to Palestine and say, 'The hope is here in the land of Israel'." Feme Hughes Tells Of Big City By Bill Buchan How does it feel to have an expense-free week in New York packed with photographers, hair dressers, fashion editors, George Murphy and Sherman Billings ley's Stork Club?

Last spring Feme was selected along with five other girls from Southern and wesiern coupes to model in New York for Drene Shampoo ads.

The kick-off is slated for 2 p.m. and a sellout crowd is anticipated. 'The Carolinians held a short but snappy workout in Kenan stadium yesterday morning be fore leaving for the nation's capital in the evening and seemed to be in top form for this after noon's game. Alumni festivities were booked for a large number of the Caro lina entourage last night and a parade was scheduled for this morning. Head cheerleader Norm Sper also had plans for a mam moth pep rally on the agenda. A motorcade through the streets of the nation's capital was ruled out by District of Columbia police a few days ago. A throng of some 7,500 stu dents, alumni, and "born and bred" Tar Heels poured into Washington late yesterday and early this morning. Blue and white streamered cars, signs read ing "Beat Maryland", and the "Stars and Bars", symbol of the Confederacy, were predominate along the thoroughfares of the capital city, proclaiming that the Carolinians had arrived. One of the largest college foot ball crowds in the history of the nation s capital is expected to jam every nook and corner of Griffith stadium, just off Rhode Island avenue on Seventh street, for today's game between two of the toughest teams in the South ern conference. The game will climax seven days of merry-making in Washington. Autumn Car nival week has been in progress all week for students of the Uni versity of Maryland and some 10,000 Maryland students are ex pected to be in attendance for the game. Carolina was jarred from the nation's list of teams with per fect records last week when they were deadlocked by an inspired William and Mary eleven. At the same time, the Old Liners were carving out a 19-7 victory over South Carolina on a muddy field. Add to this the fact that the rival ry between Carl Snavely and Jim Tatum is one of the liveliest in Southern football and today's game is a "natural". The Tar Heels departed from Chapel Hill yesterday afternoon in high spirits and excellent physical condition. Minor injuries which had plagued the Snavely men at the first of the week were gone and a'iide from the usual list of injured, Al Bernot, Fred Sherman, and Don Hartig, the Tar Heels were in top shape. No serious injuries were reported in the Maryland camp but reserves Bill Evefson and Alden Murphey were still on the doubtful list. The Carolina attack, as usual, will be centered around the scin tillating end sweeps of Choo Choo Charlie Justice and the bone-v crushing plunges of Hosea "Ram rod" Rodgers. Justice and Rod- gers along with Billy Hayes can also be expected to put on a talent-laden aerial circus for the Washingtonians this afternoon. Dashing Johnny Clements and big Art Weiner are also expected to figure largely in the Tar Heel of fensive program. The Maryland attack is em bodied in the persons of Jim La Rue, Vic Turyn, Johnny Idzik, and Harry Bonk and spings from the deadly split-T formation.
