Sugar Bowl
With Police
Members Get
Free Passes
Greeted by a milling group of
siren-sounding, roaring police
motorcycles provided by Sugar
bowl officials, the University
band arrived in New Orleans
Friday morning prepared and
tuned to join the University of
Oklahoma band in a joint pro
gram before the 85,000-odd spec
tators at the Sugar bowl classic.
In return for their services at
the game, the band members were
provided with passes to several
entertainment features: courtesy
cards to the New Orleans Ath
letic club, free steamer rides up
the Mississippi and passes to the
New OrleaVis movie houses, in
addition to the police escort.
After dinner with the Oklahoma
band in the Municipal auditorium,
the band adjourned to the City
park, where a rehearsal wras held.
Following the rehearsal, the band
members were given liberty for
the rest of the day to tour the
Delta city as they saw fit.
At the Sugar bowl game, the
band provided a pre-game per
formance featuring "Carolina in
the Morning," and a formation
of the outline of the state of
North Carolina. During the half-
time, in coordination with the
card stunts, the band performed
a variation of the four seasons
which was well received by the
85,000 fans.
Having returned to Chapel Hill
during the holidays, the band re
hearsed the evening of Dec. 28

ing and afternoon of Dec. 29, in

U.S. Protests
Soviet Failure
To Return PW's
'Breach of Faith'
Charged in Note
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. (UP)
The United States has bluntly
accused Russia of a "breach of
faith" for failing to send home all
of her German war prisoners,
the State department disclosed
today.
The statement was included in
a formal note of protest delivered
to the Kremlin yesterday by the
embassy in Moscow. The text of
the protest was made public today
for the first time. The fact that
a protest had been sent was re
vealed yesterday.
The note accused the Soviet
government of violating a 1947
agreement between the Big Four
powers calling for repatriation of
all German war prisoners by the
end of 1948 "at the latest."
The new note was the latest of
a series of actions accusing So
viet leaders of bad faith in car
rying out international agree
ments. President Truman himself re
cently said in an off-the-cufi
speech at Kansas City that the
Russian government had violated
just about every international
agreement to whom it was a
party.
Meantime, Michael J. McDer
mott, State department press of
ficer, denied a Soviet claim that
there never was an iron-clad
repatriation agreement.
He said the Russian government
promised in August, 1947, that
all war prisoners would be return
ed to Germany by Dec. 31, 1948,
and has given "assurances" on
numerous occasions since mat
"the deadline would be met."

Ducat Confusion
Not Fault of CAA
Spokesman Says
By Gordon HuHines
"If there was any confusion
over the seating arrangement in
the Sugar bowl stadium it was
due to the students, and not the
athletic department," Clyde E.
"Pete" Mullis of the University
physical education department
said yesterday.
Explaining that the Athl'.tic
association was only able to con
trol scalping up to thc point
where students received game
tickets in exchange for their
coupons, Mullis said, "We had no
control over whether the students
sold their tickets or not after
they exchanged their coupons
with us."
In reply to articles appearing in
yesterday's Daily Tar Heel, said
that he thought the distribution
of tickets in New Orleans was
handled very well. "We knew of
no confusion until we returned
to Chapel Hill and saw the DTII,"
he said.
As head of the group in charge
of exchanging Sugar bowl tickets
for student coupons in the Roose
velt hotel the morning of the
game, Mullis stated that if any
outsiders were sitting in the Car
olina student section they must
have gotten their tickets from
Carolina students. "No one could
get a ticket without a ' coupon,
and the coupons were sold only
to students," he said.
Mullis explained that the Uni
versity had no control over the
! location of the student section in
the Sugar bowl stadium. The bloc
of 1,500 student seats was as
signed by the Sugar bowl com
mittee, he asserted.
The assistant basketball coach
denied that the Athletic depart
ment was lax in checking on per
sons presenting coupons for ex
change in New Orleans. "Each
coupon and the identification
card of the student was checked
carefully when it was presented
for exchange," he said.
