IV) The Western Allies intend to keep their troops in Germany even if Itussian troops are with drawn, a West German govern ment spokesman said today. The spokesman indicated this was one of the decisions reached at last week's Paris conference of the Big Three Allied -foreign ministers, the results of which have not yet been announced of ficially. U. S. Secretary of Stale Dean Acheson and German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer agreed at their meeting yesterday on the need for keeping Western troops in Germany, the spokesman said. Brother Rebu University freshman killed Icebreakers Can t Come Until Thaw WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (flV Russi a . t.od ay informed theJS t ate Department it Will .be unable to return two American lend-lease icebreakers by Dec. 1 as prom ised. ' It seems they are stuck in the ice. Vladimir I. Bazykin, Soviet Embassy counselor, told this to Under-secretary of State Webb. A third icebreaker probably will be returned on time. The icebreakers, 269 feet long and 63 feet wide, are among the most modern, in the world. They were lend-leased to Russia vir tually brand new in 1944 and 1945 shortly after they were built. Moscow has not said where the vessels are stuck. The Slate Department has in formed the Navy Department of the Russian story. Naval authorities are reported to have expressed surprise that the two vessels, especially equip ped to plow through the heaviest ice floes, could be stopped even by Russian ice. On Sept. 21, Russia formally agreed to return the ice-breakers by Dec; 1. This., agreement fol lowed half a dozen Stale Depart ment demands over a two-year period. Simultaneously, the Russians finally consented to return 28 lend leased frigates. Later, the Russians informed the State De partment they really had. only 27; one had smashed up 6n some rocks. So far, 18 frigates have been delivered to American authorities in Japan. ' He said the appointment of So viet Marshal Konstantin Rokos sovsky as commander-in-chief of the Polish army indicates that Russian troops will soon be with drawn from Eastern Germany. Even though the Russians should withdraw their, troops from Germany, the Russian se cret police and the Soviet-trained German "People's Police" would still remain, he pointed out. The spokesman said Adenauer also agreed with Acheson on maintaining a technical "state of war" in Germany. A peace treaty would raise questions "whether foreign troops could legally, re main, and put a question mark on 'Rain Ducats To Go On Sale This Morning Show Will Open For Long Run . In November Reserved seat tickets for the Carolina Playmakers' production Rain,"-their second major show of the new season, will go on sals today at Ledbetter-Pickard's and at the Swain Hall business of fice of the Playmakers. The play will be presented for a six-night run starting November 29. "Rain,"' adapted by John Col- ton and Clemence Randolph from a story by Somerset Maugham, tells the compelling story of con flict between an honest but cruel missionary, unaware of his own suppressions, and a scarlet girl who is wanted by the law in San Francisco. Set on a South Sea island where they are marooned during the rainy season, the play concerns the efforts of the clergyman to have the easy-going girl deported, his breaking of the girl's spirit, her atonement for her ruddy past, and her final disillusionment when the "witch-burner" hintr self demonstrates that he is on In human. , : The play is under the direc tion of John W. Parker, who de scribes it as one of his favorites and a play "that spells entertainT ment in capital letters." Proof of Parker's description lies in the fact that the original production of the play ran for nearly 700 performances in New York, toured for four years in all parts of the -country, and re turned to storm New York for another 100 performances. r Lynn Gault is designing the set ting, and Irene Smart is now working on the costumes. The piay nas . oeen on renearsar since the first of the month. The late Alexander Woolcott of the New York Herald, who usually had a stock of biting phrases, said of the play, "It is an acrid, merciless, and fiercely dramatic play . . . the story of a fugitive harlot and a ravenous missionary whom a deluge of tropical rain pens together for a brief, disastrous interval in a boarding house in the South Seas. . A play that will engross the most errant attention. The Playmakers business office explained that the ticket sale was opening early because of the Thanksgiving break. Mail and tel ephone reservations will be ac cepted. Government Hints Action WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (IP) The government dropped a broad hint today that it may act after a day or so to stop a new coal strike December 1 unless John L. Lewis and coal operators make a fast peace move. . Cyrus S.

Cont Fancy Spirit Praise Given On Behavior Of Tar Heels Square Rally, Game Cheering Were Top Spots By Roy Parker. Mr. . From the battery to West chester, from Notre Dame priests to Greenwich Village bartender, came nothing but words of praise and expres sions of wonderment at New York's greatest event since the Indian bargain. It was a common comment from all who witnessed the Tar Heel invasion of Gotham that from no other invader in the his tory of the town had there been any such expression of spirit. The most amazing thing about it was the relative handful of invaders changed the New York ers outlook completely in a 48- hour display of spirit that was . really out of this world. Thursday night New York pa pers mentioned UNC in one sen tence shots, after bemoaning the fact that Army was not Notre Dame's opponent. The first quotes from metropolitan residents on the Tar Heel invaders were most ly along the "fresh from the country' 'and "how crude" line. But by Friday night the light was bright enough to be seen. Times Square, night spots, and hotels were the main scenes of Tar Heel attitude-changing. Sat urday's" game-tkne never-say-die fan behavior and that night's all-over-town spirit clinched the suc cess of UNC fans greatest tri umph. A common comment from the police captain who led the vai. attempts to break up the Times, Square rally, and from night club and hotel owners was, "full of spirit and no trouble, they're a great bunch of folks and we're glad to have 'em with U3." Night clubs, who traditionally get their spirit from loudmouth ed inebriates, were the scenes of some of the biggest displays ; of Tar Heel enthusiasm. New York night-lifers stood around and looked with amazement at dozens of spots while bands, from Ed die Condon's hot five to Vaughan Monroe at the Statler's swank Cafe Rouge, gave out with UNC favorites. The Confederate flag, a luke warm Carolina symbol a veek ago, came into its own in the -New York capture. In hotel lob bies, night clubs and on streets it was more in evidence than at Bull Run. As the last of the University army took off yesterday from the subdued city the complemen tary comments came from such notables as Father Theodore Hesburgh, executive vice-president of Notre Dame and Chan cellor R. B. House of the Univer sity. Hesburgh said it "was the greatest, finest display of school spirit I have ever witnessed." Chancellor House, in a state ment yesterday, congratulated the students asserting, 1 am sin cerely proua oi me uiuveijiiy students. I believe they enhanced the reputation of the school by their fresh, good - humored, thoroughly 'University type of (See NEW YORK, page 4) 'Just Nasty' SALEM, Ore., Not.
