Two Newcomers are 'Tough' Negro Policemen Join Force As Local Lawmen Get Addition If the long arm of Chapel Hill's John Law seems a bit more hefty lately, it is because he has gained a good 550 pounds since last July. The Board of Alderman de cided during the middle of last summer that it was high time Chapel Hill and Carrboro had a Negro addition to the force, pri marily to handle the tough, un predictable Negro section of Carr boro where even the bravest men fear to tread. Jeff Foushee, proprietor of a Carrboro cafe, and Bud Hopkins, a University power plant worker, were the two Negro men select ed by their community fellows to help maintain law and order within the colored section of this village. , -The decision came about as disturbances became more and more acute in' the vicinity of the Carrboro Negro community cen ter. Doth men have lived in Carr boro most of their lives, and both are respected in the community oy black and white alike. Foushee is over 50 years" old. So is Hopkins.

J. H. Jones, Negro pastor who was nominated Monday night to run for the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen. i Jones formally filed his can didacy for the Board yesterday morning in the Town Hall. He stated later that his platform will include planks for the. improve ment of streets in town, for street I lights on unlighted streets, addi tional fire hydrants in several sec tions of Chapel Hill-where proper fire prevention equipment is not available and more telephones for homes which 'have been un able to secure them. Koral, publicity chairman of the candidate's campaign, said yesterday that an effort will be made to build an united Negro and white backing behind the minister and to make his cam paign city-wide. Jones was nominated at a mass meeting Monday night which was held at the Negro Commun ity Center and attended by an estimated group of 300. Among those attending were Rev. Char les Jones, pastor of the Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church, Dr. Joseph Straley of the University Physics Department Henry Ed wards, president of the local chapter of the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People; and Leon Peace, Chairman of the NAACP local youth council.

Blake, of the Chapel Hill force, "Foushee and Hopkins worked in the Strowd motor company garage. 1 "Neither needed a jack 'when he wanted to look underneath an automobile, he mcmly lifted the modcl-T like , a babe, with his hands. They might have used a jack to support the car after they had raised it, but only to free their hands. "Yessir, they're' tough, all right," Blake affirmed. The two work only part-time from 7:30 until 11 o'clock at night, the period known as "rush hour" by patrolmen. Results ' of this innovation have been de scribed as "excellent." Foushee and Hopkins both arc well-liked and work closely with the full-tirne police. - "Unfortunately,'' it is said about the Chapel Hill court house,, 'no more Negroes are likely to be added to the force for some time.

Truman Asks Pact Passage By Senators Calls for Treaty To 'Keep Peace' WASHINGTON, April 12 (UP) President Truman today asked the Senate to ratify the North Atfantic Defense ; Treaty , as a weapon to save both freedom and peace by preventing Communist aggression., . - In a special message transmit ting the historic pact signed here April 4, he told the Senate .the 12-nation alliance "makes clear the determination of the people of the United States and of our neighbors in the North Atlantic community to do their utmost to maintain peace with justice." It shows any would-be aggres sor, he said, that the free nations are prepared "to take such ac tion as they may deem necessary! if the peace is broken." ! With his message, Mr. Truman submitted a report from Secretary of State Dean G. Acheson spell ing out the treaty obligations in blunt terms. Acheson said the pact wrould not commit the United States to go to war "automatically" if an ally were attacked. But he em phasized that it calls for "swift and decisive" use of force by this country if Russia or any other country launches a "major armed attack" on a pact member. The report, apparently design- cu lu; ,cl lsm. of the pact' .laid 1 ould not oDiigate tne united states to ship arms to western Europe.

All you have to do is look up at tho top of the page and find out just who won yesterday's general campus election run-off. But at this writing, we don't know the verdict yet. We do know that the Roland Parker lounges were full of ballot counters, that the vote was not nearly as Jieavy as last week's, and that it rained again yes terday. One week from last night, next Tuesday evening, the new student government officers will be sworn in at official inaugu ration ceremonies. One week from last night, Jess Dedmond, who has labored through a long and hard year as president of the student body, will be through with his job. Jess doesn't have much to say on the eve of his retirement, except that in a way he's glad it's over and in another way he's sorry. And we imagine that is the feeling of most, of the outgoing officers. They are proud of their year's service to the students of the University of North Carolina, and they hate to leave that serv ice. But it is a relief to shed the responsibility that rested so heavily on their shoulders for the last year. WE HOPE, IN ALL SINCERITY, that the new president,' vice-president, the other executive officers, the new legislators and the new members of the judiciary will work conscientiously and diligently in the coming year to improve student government, to correct its glaring errors and its little, unnoticed mistakes. We hope those new off icers. mean, what they say when they take their oath of office and that they will truly carry out the duties of their new posts to the best of their ability. ordon y Wide Lowenstein Edged by 28 Ballots; Total Vote Reaches Only 2,504 By Charles McCorkle Another rain-soaked, dreary election day yesterday saw Bill Mackid astound campus political experts by landsliding into the presidency of the student body, while running mate Al Lowenstein was edged out by Ted Leonard "with only, a 28-vote margin. . . , With a total vote of only 2,504 recorded, Mackie, running on the Student Party ticket, resoundingly licked Dick Gordon, the University Party standard-bearer, by a count of 1,485 to 1,019.
