The historic linkup south of Seoul was made by two tanks of the U. S. 1st Cavalry Division's Task Force Lynch, which battled 115 air miles from Waegwan in seven days. The two tanks met 7th Division natrols in the area four miles south of Suwon, where an uivi sion troops had been patrolling the main Seoul-Taegu highway in intercept Communist forces fleeing north. The last dash of the 1st Cavalry flving column covered tne ou miles from Chochiwon m iesb than 24 hours. An announcement bv the U. S. 10th Corps said the linkup was made at.li .m. lues- dav (9 A.M. EST Tuesday;. Task Force Lynch is command ed by Lt. Col. James Lynch, 34, of Washington, D. C. It was aDie to break out of the Communist lines before Taegu when Wae gwan, on the Naktong River, was captured Sept. 18.

Negro's Truthfulness Wins Freedom In Court By Don Maynard For telling the story just as it happened, Harvey W. Bald win, 59-year old Negro truck driver from Carrboro was ac quitted of a charge of reckless driving and property damage in the Chapel Hill Recorder's Court yesterday. Following the testimony of Alec Elliot, driver of a school bus caryirng 18 children which police said Baldwin struck as he drove down a long hill on Route 54, Baldwin corober rated the stories of both a highway patrolman and the bus driver. His only addition was that his steering gear had gone out of commission. Judge John Manning de clared him not guilty on the grounds that "after all, it is not the def endent's fault if his steering gear goes out of commission when there had been no noticable defect until that time." Six University students ap peared before Judge Manning yesterday on various charges. The docket: William R. Watts, 19 (stu dent), passing on hill, $15 and costs. Bernard P. Goodman, 22 (student), speeding, costs. Owen O. Morgan, 21 (stu dent), public drunkenness, $5 and costs. Ralph S. Pittman, 25, (stu dent), no brakes, $5 and costs. M. M.

Eure Speaks hX I nam For Phi Men 18-Year Voting Given Support By N.C. Official Secretary of State Thad Eure in an address here tonight de clared that 18-year-olds who are required to fight to defend their country should be given the right to vote. Eure also praised highly the American "way of life" and condemned Communism. The Secretary was addressing the Phi Assembly, one of Caro lina's two debating societies, in augurating its 156th year oh the University campus. He was in-! troduced by George Rodman of Washington, speaker-elect of the Assembly. "Communism," Eure stated, "Is a godless monster which strives to destroy democratic institutions and governments through false hood, fraud, malice, slander and ultimate force, motivated by sel fish leadership of a handful of self-appointed leaders of the un thinking masses ' who follow the course of least resistance." Eure went "all out" for giving 18-year-olds the right to vote, especially those requared to serve in the armed forces. "When men are required by-the - government to fight for our way of life, our government and our country, they should be given the privilege of casting ballots in favor of candi dates who will be elected and have the power to write terms of the peace for which they fought and will live under," he said. The speaker suggested that steps be taken to amend the Con stitution so that this group of citizens may vote. "If it has to be restrictive," he added, "It should at least include those who are compelled to serve in the armed forces." Rodman headed a list of new officers assuming office.

Dave Sharpe of Chapel Hill was installed as Treasurer; Albert House of Scot land Neck, Clerk; Herman Sieber of Hendersonville, Critic and De bate Council representative; Otis McCullom of Winston-Salem, Parliamentarian; Douglas Carter of Winston-Salem, Sergeant-at-Arms; and Edward Clinard of Winston-Salem, Carolina Forum representative.

Yack Editor Cries, Frosh Late For Pix Jim Mills, editor of the Yack- ety Yack, came by The Daily Tar Heel office yesterday afternoon with tears, big ones, rolling down his skinny face. "They won't come," he sobbed, 'they won't come. Do something will you?" Just before collapsing in a spasm on the floor, Mills re counted how the announcement was made in Freshman Assembly yesterday morning telling class members to come by to have their pictures snapped. Mills sniffed as he told how the ones who did come up were dressed in "leather jackets, sport shirts." In a lower tone, he con fided that one was stopped at the door of Graham Memorial clad in a Bikini bathing suit. Men should wear dark coats and dark ties; women should wear white blouses for the pic tures, Mills advised.

And now with Roy's nomination by the SP I feel that the first big step has been taken toward cor recting the present unsettled situation in publications.
