"If we can pierce the Iron Cur tain, if we can get into the minds of people there what we really arc we can prevent a third world war. "Our Commander-in-Chief has set certain lines over which ag- gressive powers can not cross. We're going to hold those lines of freedom by the Marshall flan, Atlantic Pact, ' and European Armament Recovery Program. "And yet, we know we've got to have more than these, we should give something more to the Asiatic countries not yet locked behind the Iron Curtain. "We shouldn't give up the struggle for freedom and peace in the world."

China Students Quiet Despite Higher Fees NANKING, Feb. 10 (I') The Chinese students,' a noisy, j. rest less lot who always -were , in the hair of the Nationalists, are well under control now. Actually, the lot of the. stu dents is worse under the Com munists, but aside from a little grumbling, the student front .is quiet. The Nationalists subsidized the students to keep them from go ing over to the Communists. The student subsidies suffered under inflation. Red agents engineered numerous student demonstra tions. Now student tuition and other fees, only nominal under the Nationalists, have been boosted to' the equivalent of $10 (U. S.) a school term. That sum is be yond the financial capacity of most Chinese families. Furthermore, only about 30 per cent of the student body, f , If.'

A spokesman for the Naval Ordinance Laboratory at Fort Monroe, ' which ' controls the range, said the range is being removed- but gave no reason for the action. . The range Is a military secret. It consists of experimental re cording devices installed last June on the bottom of the bay 400 yards from the main ship channel just outside Hampton Roads. A court of Inquiry currently is investigating- circumstances surrounding the grounding of the Missouri outside the range last . month. Today, the court took steps indicating . it . may up the number of defendants in its probe from three to four carefully screened, is exempt from the payment of fees. j The Communists succeeded in pacifying the students by giv ing them a large share ih the control of their schools, and by deft propaganda. - . Nanking's Communist educa tional and. cultural committee said tuitions must be paid now "in order.. to lighten the burden of the people." .. . A committee spokesman said it was proper for the students to demand subsidies under the Nationalists, because the govern ment "obtained money by squeezing the people." "Now," he added, "the situa tion is different. The people themselves are ; paying for the support of the schools, which in turn belong to the people. We therefore must; not add to the already heavy burden of the people." t IK v i but some students continued There were indications the pub lie testimonials might be resumed tonight. President V. Raymond Edman interrupted the spontaneous pray er meeting at 9 a. m. (CST) to tell 900 tired students in the college Memorial Chapel that "outsiders might think the revival has be come too showy." But he permitted some 50 stu dents to continue their testimon ials in a smaller room nearby. A Seattle, Wash., minister, the Rev. Edwin S. Johnson, was call- ted upon to speak at a prayer meeting in the chapel at 7 o. m. tonight. Originally he was to have addressed the students Wednes- day night, but the mushrooming revival forced a postponement. "If students want to confess their sins at this meeting, we won't stop them," Dr. Edman said. Since 7 p. m. Wednesday until this morning students of both sexes and many faculty members emerged from a long waiting line to tell of misdeeds from the chapel pulpit. . : Some were tearful, others open ly joyful as they repented and testified the spirit of the Lord had cleansed their souls. 1 -College officials said more than three fourths of the student body of 1,500 gave public testimony. Some appeared more than once to confess little errors of life and ask forgiveness. There was an air of solemnity and deep concentration to the long revival. A Chicago Tribune reporter who watched the revival Thurs day night wrote: "A reporter who visited the campus arrived with the cynicism of his trade. He remained to mar vel at the intensity of emotion and the obvious sincerity of the young students."

Industrialist Gives -Solon's Tax Pointers WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (P) A New; England industrialist, whose operations in" the field of charitable trusts were once the object of a Senate inquiry, told Congress today that the govern ment could collect $1,000,000,000 a year extra by plugging tax-law "loopholes." Royal Little, of Rhode Island, president , of Textron, Inc., made the statement in testimony be fore the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. Royal, who said he built up a charity, trust from $500 to $4, 500,000, said one way of gain ing the new revenue would be to wipe out tax-exemption privileges now enjoyed by edu cational and charitable organiza tions which conduct outside busi ness activities. He said that such "unrelated" businesses should be taxed just like other corporations.

Maryland attending colleges and universities in the Old North State must buy North Carolina license plates if they have been here for 90 days. Under the reciprocity agree ment between states, the de partment said, a state is re quired by law to treat other states exactly as it is treated in matters -covered by the act. And, it was learned, Tar Heel students attending school in Maryland are being forced to buy Maryland tags after they have been there for 90 days. The ruling should affect ap proximately 10 students at the University. Ray Jeffries of the Dean of Students' office said yesterday that some 18 per cent of the student body owns priv ate cars. With 49 students here from the Old Line state, the per centage indicates that : 10 arc car-owners. The exact number was not available yesterday. Leaves Seven 'Holding Bag WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (JP) Postmaster General Donaldson said today that about $600,000 changed hands before the burst ing of a postage stamp invest ment "bubble" involving a $10,-000-a-year Post Office Depart ment official. He said that not more than seven persons, whom" he did not name, appear to be "holding the bag" for total losses of some $200,000 in the money they "in vested" with Harold F. Ambrose. Donaldson forced Ambrose to resign last .month from his po sition as Special Asistant to the Postmaster General, a public re lations post. Ambrose's scheme, as describ ed by the cabinet officer, in volved big "profit" payoffs to some of the investors, paid out of funds put up by others eager for a quick turnover of cash at a profit.

Justice Fund ' Has 13,000 Contributors Money Will Go For Scholarship Honoring Charlie More than 13,000 persons have contributed to the Charlie- Jus tice Scholarship Fund, J. L. Morehead of Durham, treasurer,' said last night. The total amount and names of all contributors will be an nounced soon when the Fund is turned over to the University which will administer the schol arship, said Morehead, who urged that "all who desire to contribute and have neglected to do so should send in their contributions at once so they can be included in the final report." The Fund was established in November by a group of Dur ham alumni in appreciation "of the example set by Charlie Jus tice not only in his athletic abili ty but in his personal character, his sportsmanship, his team spi rit, his modesty, and his clean living." Morehead said the contribut ions had ranged from $5 to $200, with most of them running from $10 to $25. Other members of the Durham group sponsoring the fund are James R. Patton, Jr., Dr. W. M.

In an article entitled "How Our Comies Defame America Abroad," Vic Reinemer, a Mon tana University graduate, gives a detailed factual report on the distorted picture of the United States presented by the Ameri can delegation to the 10,000 other delegates from all over the world. Reinemeji was a member of a small minority group in the delegation which attempted un successfully to have the truth told about conditions in the United States. Reinemer reports that a bro chure, printed in four languages and distributed to other delegates at a cultural presentation by the American delegation, said in its introduction: "In a time of developing eco nomic crisis, the few of us lucky enough to land jobs face de clining wages, insecure seniority, speed-up and campaigns of ter ror and sabotage our unions. But the greater part of our young people have no jobs at all, and walk the streets in search of employment. Budget Talk University faculty bigwigs will meet this morning to dis cuss the budget.
