Since 20,000 men Were sum moned soon, after the outbreak of th Korean war, the new order means the Army plans' to draft at least : 370,000 men. The . goal : first was announced i by Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga.), j of the House Armed Services Committee, after a closed meet ing with Army officials. The com mittee is looking into armed forces plans to-build to a total strength of 3,000,000 men by next July. Col. Daniel O. Omer, general counsel of Selective Service, said Tuesday that draft officials ex pect to meet the 3,000,000 goal with men from the 19-through-25 age groups. But officials have said it may mean some" men with dependents will be taken. " The "Army later confirmed Vin son's statement. It - already has announced calls for 50,000 men in October and 70,000 in November. It did not say how many of the 180,000 additional will be called up in each of the months of De cember, January, February and March. But to reach the total it vill have to average a little more than 50,000 a month. Vinson said the doctors and dentists, to be taken during the next six months, will be chosen from professional men who were trained at government expense during World War II but did not see active service. Besides the draftees, the Army has called up 119,000 unorganized reserves,, four National Guard Di visions,'- two ; regimental combat teams, and an unspecified num ber of organized reserves and Na tional Guard units. ' Neither the Navy nor Air i orce has, taken any draftees, but both have called reserves , Bra Bandits Again In Hands Of Law MIAMI, FLA:, " Sept. 28.

Philadel phia ' hotels will welcome you with open arms this weekend if you plan to come north for the Penn-Virginia football game. That's straight from the Hotel Association. All the hotel wrecking done last year when Virginia beat Penn 26 to 14 has been forgotten. Bennett Tous ley, manager of the Bellevue Stratford Hotel and president of the Association, says he's sure Virginia students will act like Southern Gentlemen.

North Tousley was reminded of his remarks after last years heavy damage." Although the exact amount never was officially re ported, it was enough to prompt Tousley to say: "The next time Virginia plays football here they'll have to stay in hotels south of Chester." (Chester is 15 miles south of Philadelphia). Tousley said today he and his associates settled peacefully the difference with the University of Virginia. "President s Colgate Darden and three members of the stu dent Council met with us and Legislature Hears 3 Speak t First Meet Mitchell Assails .Missing Meetings, Promises Expulsion At their first meeting of the fall quarter in Di Hall last night Student Legislators were told in no uncertain terms by Speaker jHerb Mitchell there are going to I be some changes made.

Tousley said the hotel men were glad to have the Virginia students and would even fea ture "mint juleps and Southern fried chicken this weekend." Penn's football team may or may not be happy to see the Southerners. Last year, Virginia sprung an upset, winning 26 to 14 for its first victory in 15 years over Penn. Virginia is favored to win again. Sluggish Into Big Spirii As'B eaflrish' By Rolfe Neill . What began as a small, listless, shuffling crowd boomed into a thousand chanting Carolina war riors who danced around a tow ering bonfire on Fetzer Field last night to the tune of "Beat Notre Dame." Led by the University Band and the cheerleading squad, a UNC Suit Unaffected By ill Negro Decision RALEIGH, Sept. 28 (UP) Atty.-Gen. Harry McMullan to day said a ruling that the Uni versity of Tennessee must ad mit Negro students would have no bearing on the suit brought Special to The Daily Tar Heel DURHAM, Sept. 28 Federal Judge Johnson J. Kayes, to rule next week on whether Negroes will enter the University of North Carolina graduate school, today . visited North Carolina College Law School here as a final step in preparation for his decision. North Carolina College is a state-supported Negro school. by four Negroes for admission to the Graduate School at the University of North Carolina. "There is just no basis for comparison," McMullan de clared. c -He pointed out. -that, in, the Tennessee case, the Negro stu ! ; Sign riey To Beat Notre Dame . Carolina students will get ; a chance today to wish the team I well in its Notre Dame game to morrow. And it only costs a nic kle. The University Club last night launched a drive for students to participate and contribute toward a telegram to be sent to the team at South Bend. There will be a table in the Y Court this morning from 9 until - studios on the second floor -of Graham Memorial to have their pictures snapped, Mills said. - . "It seemed like an afterthought that prompted freshmen, all 60-of them yesterday, to come get their faces photographed," he said. "I thought we would be swamped with students, consequently we hired two photographers to handle the crowds. "Now they sit on their hands, while the crowds of freshmen we want to come up for photographs pass on by to sift in the movies, or soak up a beer, or d6- every thing but get their pictures taken." - Another, thing that he feels stu dents do not understand yet is the necessity for . those wishing to be photographed to wear dark coats and ties, and white shirts. Women, should wear white blouses. The reason for the special dress is that the majority of stu dents.want their Yack pictures to flatter them, and the color com bination recommended .will do just that, he said. In a note to the Daily Tar Heel, Mills appealed for more prompt action on the part of freshmen. He reminded them that there is no charge, and that there is no delay or standing in line. The note read in part: "No one is coming. We have only 360 pic tures so far and we heed 800. At this rate we'll have no yearbook!" Pep Rally De sn o ara small group of about 200 left the Y Court shortly after 7 o'clock. However, the group gained mo mentum after it turned " down Raleigh Street between the upper and lower mens quadrangles. By the time it reached Fetzer Field, it was a howling, flag-waving, Dixie-singing mob. Cheerleader Joe Chambliss lec dents were admitted because the state maintained no facil ities in Negro colleges for in struction in law or biochem istry. . "We maintain a separate law school for Negroes in North Carolina," he said, "and so our position is different from the one in Tennessee." A suit recently brought by four Negro students in Durham claimed the facilities at North Carolina College Law School -were inferior to those offered white students at Chapel Hill. McMullan said, a decision from the Federal court is due next week. "The Attorney-General also claimed that a Federal order admitting a Negro to the Uni versity of Virginia Law School could not be used as a basis of comparison with North Caro lina's case. " . Meanwhile, , in . Knoxville, , (See NEGROES, page 6) ; Your Name 1 o'clock this afternoon. From 3 p.m. until 6 p.m., there will be a table in front of the Carolina Theater. Students pay. only a nickle, par tial payment for defrayment of the telegram's cost, and get their name added to the list which will be presented to the team at half time. Jerry Sternberg, president, when asked what the goal was for the telegram, replied: "Every body. All of Tar Heelia-" .. ' There will be a parade of cars to leave the Y Court at 11 or 11:30 this morning to escort the team, to the .airport, Sternberg saidi He urged everyone who could to accompany the motor caravan. He praised officials in Lenoir Hall for keeping a table set up last night to take names for the telegrams. Also, Sternberg thank ed Wilton Stone, manager of the local Western Union, and Bill Johnson, student, who painted several posters. Girls helping in the affair are Mary Nell Hawkins, Faye" Cul pepper, Madeline Caldwell, Liz Dockery, Debbie Ettinger, Louise Klaster, Carol Cantrell, Jane Jen kins, Ruth Osmers, Lee Woolfolk, and Jane Goodman. . Sternberg said the theme for the drive is:; "Sign your Name, Beat Notre Dame." Last year, a group of Chapel Hill merchants carried out the idea when Carolina played the Irish in New ' York - City. This telegram carried over 2,000 sig natures. Commies Readying To Smash 'Agresso'rs' LONDON, Friday, Sept. 29 (UP) The Communist New Chi na News Agency warned today that Red armed forces were being strengthened "to smash any act or challenge of American agres sors." ; . "The agency, in a broadcast re viewing Communist military ach ievements, said the Chinese com munists "wiped out" 8,368,000 Na tionalist troops during the civil wan n st ravi o n the crowd in several yells before Coach Carl Snavely came out of Woollen Gymnasium to-speak. Deliberate "and smiling, the old football master waved his hat to the crowd. 'Our boys are in good shape," he said. "They're in extraordinar ily fine spirit and have practiced hard all week." Then, almost as an afterthought, Snavely said: 'We're not going up there to get licked." Chambliss led the pep rally in a special yell, "Old Notre Dame Is Going To Get Beat"; the band played "There'll Be A Carolina Victory," and bedlam broke loose. Someone in the crowd clamber-. 2d atop a pickup, hauled out a arge Confederate flag, and the crowd sang "Dixie" once again. The rally ended with the sing ing of "Hark the Sound." 60 Commies Get The Boot In West Raic FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 28 (UP) Truncheon-wielding West German police ousted 60 de fiant Communists from their 10- room luxury, party headquarters building' in Duesseldorf today as thousands of police prepared for possible widespread weekend violence. The British had requisitioned the building to house newly ar rived troop reinforcements, and the ouster was carried, qut at heir request. The Communists remained in side for 48 hours after they were ordered to get out, and yesterday they said they "never" would move out. Their defiance melted when the police entered today. Meanwhile other police gehset for possible trouble in connection with a series of Russian-inspired Communist "peace" demonstra tions ordered for the weekend. Tens of thousands of German police armed with pistols, rubber truncheons and tear gas bombs stood by at Nuernberg, Munich and th eRuhr cities of Duesseldorf and Dortmund . to break up for bidden Red demonstrations set for Sunday. The Ruhr state of North Rhine Westphalia, where the mam trouble was expected, mobilized 22,000 policemen, cancelel all po lice leave and ordered the men to remain in uniform over the weekend. In Berlin, the British, with pled barge traffic in the Soviet zone by imposing the same re strictions that the Russians had placed on the movement of west ern barges. British military police back- logged some 45 eastern barges at canal locks while they slowly made minute checks of travel documents. Tumbling Down With all the rumpus that has been raised in the building over the past years, the South Build ing ceiling finally came down yesterday. It all happened because the heat was put on. When wintry . gusts heralded the approach of cold weather, authorities order ed the steam heat to be run through the radiators. It was run through, but also ran out several of them because some one had left the valves open. Consequently, water ran out on office floors, seeping through to the office ceilings below, so weakening the plaster that it began to crumble and fall down. It was rumored that several of the office occupants were plastered not long after they re ported to their offices this morn- J ing. No one was hurt, however.
