' Klingberg was the professor who topped off a fall quarter final exam with the question: "True or false: Charlie Justice is a better runner, passer and punter than Doak Walker." Naturally, the unanimous class answer was "True." The inci dent received widespread na tional publicity. Klingberg said he has re ceived an average of ten let ters per day since that time from persons throughout the country who try to convince him the answer should have been "False."

Pomestic Troubles Now: Hustle Them Lightbulbs, R. Gregg GASTONIA, Jan. 8 (UP) R. Gregg Cherry, attorney at law. wondered today whey he ever went to Raleigh in the first place to become governor of North Carolina. The four years in office weren't so bad, Cherry admitted, but the homecoming has been most trying. The Cherrys left Raleigh im mediately after the hew governor, Kerr Scott, was sworn in. Returning to Gastonia, they found their home in, Gastonia without a single light bulb and flooded with six inches of water. Enough Volunteers: Half Is Called To Draff For Two-Month Period WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.

Representa tives of the TMA will be on hand in the Y building from 8:30 to 1 o'clock to gather in an expected 100 new members from the ranks of the 2,000-odd men living in town. First formed in the mid-30's un der the name of the Town boys' association, the organization was made up mostly of local stu dents. It branched out later to include all men living in the village. During the war years the as sociation dissolved due to the lack of 'man power on campus, but was resumed last spring under the title of Town Mens' association.

Greer, executive vice president of the business founda tion', is a patient at Watts hos pital in Durham, They spent the night with a friend, banker Kay Dixon. "Well," drawled the never- ex cited Cherry, "it looks like the picnic's' oyer." It's not exactly home to which they returned. Cherry sold his house when he moved into the governor's mansion in Raleigh four years ago. The present dwel ling is rented. Mrs. Cherry dispatched her husband to purchase a broom and light bulbs and yesterday was spent in housecleaning. Most disturbing to Mrs. Cherry was lack of a telephone in the CHAPEL HILL, N. C. SUNDAY, Voluntary enlistments and re enlistments have averaged 35, 000 a month for the past few months, the army said. This has made selective service calls un necessary for the next two month. Army secretary Kenneth Royall notified the munitions board, which controls draft calls for all services, that the army's previous 5,000 man draft call for February should be cancelled. In addition, the army told the munitions board it would make no calls in March. In explanation, Mr. Royall re ferred to the Selective Service act of 1948, which requires the army to limit its draft calls to the dilference between require ments and intake through vol untary enlistments. About 50 per cent of the gains in the last three months have been re-enlistments and exten sions of existing enlistments. General Assembly Has Brief Session RALEIGH, Jan. 8 (UP) The North Carolina House and Senate met for two minutes today and did absolutely nothing. Nobody said a word except the chaplains, the presiding "officers and those who moved to adjourn.

Promising Singers Will Star In Opera Presentation Here In 1947 when three of North Carolina's most promising young singers decided to found a touring opera company for their state, they discovered that the initial theater business was by no means a sing. However, local proof of their determination and ability will be their presentation of two comic one-act operas here on Tuesday evening in Memorial hall under the auspices of the Student Entertainment commit tee. From the very beginning Ted Bodenheimer and Josephine Fish er of Winston-Salem agreed with Amelia Cardwell of Greensboro that their fellow North Carolini- new home. She got little sym pathy from her husband, who joked: "That's an easy problem. If the company doesn't put one in right away, I'll go elsewhere and put in a call for Kerr Scott. May be he'll get some action." Governor Scott has been out spoken in critizing telephone companies for slow expansion to meet the state's needs. The ex-governor had a new car to do his homecoming errands. It was presented him by a group of friends in the capitol before his term ended. JANUARY 9, 1949 Choral Group Will Present "Elijah' In Hill Oratorio Will Be Given This Evening Mendelssohn's oratorio "Elijah", sponsored by . the University music department, will be heard in Hill hall this evening at 8:30. The program will be presented jointly by the Chapel Hill chor al club and the University sym phony orchestra. Soloists will be Edgar vom Lehn, who will sing the role of Elijah; John Brinegar; Harriet Keen; and Mary Helen zum Brunnen. The Chapel Hill choral club is a civic and student organization which has presented two 'orator ios annually for ever 25 years. The 125 voices of the chorus were heard last year in Mozart's "Requiem" and Haydn's "The Seasons." The University symphony or chestra will be appearing for the second time this season un der the direction of Earl Slocum, its first concert having been given in November. Drew Pearson To Speak Here At Press Meet The North Carolina Press as sociation yesterday announced a program for the 24th annual North Carolina Newspaper institute with a list of speakers headed by Drew Pearson, Washington columnist and radio commenta tor. The three-day institute will be held here and at Duke university beginning Jan. 27. The list of speakers included Jenkin Lloyd Jones, editor of the Tulsa, Okla., Tribune; George V. Allen, formerly of the Durham Herald and now assistant secre tary of state; and Miss Beatrice Cobb, editor of the Morganton News-Herald and association sec retary, who recently returned from a trip around the world by plane. Sponsoring groups said advance registration indicated the number attending the institute would break all previous records. ans would enthusiastically sup port a native innterpretation of the lighter operas of such old masters as Debussy, Mozart, Ver di, and Humperdinck. So these three talented music- world newcomers banded together with Dorothy Allcorn, soprano, and two piano accompanists, Margaret Leinbach Kolb and Sarah Ingram; engaged as stage director Clifford E. Blair, sym pathetic Winston-Salem opera im presario who had himself founded the National Association for Opera: and called the entire results the Music Theatre Re pertory group. MTRG began receiving recogni tion from leading music journals and other magazines throughout the country. Then this shoe-string opera company immediately began more often to chirp choruses of "Hal lelujah." A repertoire of seven original one-act operas was work ed out. A second year of touring was alined more easily this time with a 1949 opener in Chapel Hill. Now with Gian-Carlo Menotti's "The Old Maid And the Thief," the bell-ringer at State last year, as well as Menotti's "The Tele phone," the Music Theatre Re pertory group has come a long way to gauge a college audience's reaction to home-brewed musical culture again next Tuesday night.

Only those who are found to be as much as 25 pounds underweight are given additional rations of fat meat at the dole points where food is a cherished scarcely.

No Taxi Call Three-Way Radio Hookup Is New Crime-Fighting Device By Herb Nachman When an officer in local police headquarters throws a switch and says "Calling car two, signal 10, corner Franklin and Columbia" he won't be calling a taxicab. He'll simply be reporting a wreck at that location and di recting one of the town's two police cars to the spot. It is all made possible with the special Farnsworth receiving-transmitter three-way radio set-up which is now in operation. r Al Barnhill from Greenville assembled the outfit in both police cars and in police headquarters. Barnhill is a member of the Swain hall technician staff and a radio ham operator. He said if the surplus equip ment were new it would cost nearly $2,000 normally.

Scott Upholds Housecleaning RALEIGH, Jan. 8 (UP) Gov. Kerr Scott made it clear today that he wouldn't "houseclean" state officialdom before the end of the current legislative session. Scott announced in his first press conference as governor late yesterday that he asked three top officials to stay at their posts until then. However, he expected them to resign' by July, he said. Scott talked freely and in detail about his "go-forward" 15-point program and a half-dozen other subjects with 13 newsmen at the conference. Chief Sloan said police pro tection will novy be greatly im proved with the new equipment. Under the three way system the cars may transmit to each other as well " as communicate with headquarters. One of the officers said, "Be fore we had this, we might ride right by a place where a person was breaking in and never know it. Then when we got back to headquarters, we'd find a phone call waiting for us. By that time the thief was out of the state. Now, that will all be changed." According to Barnhill, the range of the set is up to a radius of 50 miles. The transmitter operates on a narrow-band FM with special antennas installed in the cars and on the roof of head quarters. The system has a power of 50 watts.
