It would remain in force pending post war nation wide elections for a unified gov ernment for all Koreans. It was not immediately known what MacArthur, as overall UN commander, feels should be done about interim North Korean civil administration as his armies lib erate north of the 33th Parallel The committee, under the chairmanship of Carlos P. Romulo of . the Philippines, was ' to "ad vise and consult", with MacAr thur's unified command in unifi cation and recovery of Korea un til the new permanent Korean Commission arrives on the scene. The new group, composed of the seven nations on the interim group, is expected to reach Ko rea 'in "about six weeks. The proposal to keep the Rhee government from extending its civil authority to North Korea as MacArthur's armies advance was made earlier this week by Aus tralia. At a closed meeting of the interim committee this morning, five of the other six members ap proved this policy, and the Neth erlands delegate received similar instructions a short while later. Get Set For The Big Big Caravdn Will Make Jaunt To Tennessee Game On Nov. 4 By Edd Davis f M Hop . on Tar Heels! The Carolina-Tennessee Caravan that " is traveling to the North Carolina Tennessee football game Nov. 4th is rapidly rounding into shape. Don't forget to get on. Plrfn for the trip are nearing completion. A large delegation of Carolina students are expected to make the trip. Many important changes have been made from the trip to New York last year. The game will be part of Ten nessee's homecoming weekend. UNC Graduate Given AquittaE In Durham Caustic Rebuke Made By Judge After Decision Special to The Daily Tar Heel DURHAM, Oct. 12 A Carolina graduate who circulated a Com munist Stockholm Peace Treaty here in August as a "test case," won an acquittal today and a sharp rebuke. William McKee Evans was ar rested Aug. 22 when he attempt ed to get three policemen to sign a supposed Stockholm Peace Treaty. When taken into police headquarters he stated that he purposely attempted to get him self arrested to test the validity of a new ordinance under which police have the authority to ar rest anyone passing out the pe titions. In giving Evans the acquittal, Judge Henry L. Stevens also ren dered a caustic rebuke to the for mer student. Stevens act-used the 26-year-old Evans of "Commu nist-inspired" activities. Evans said after the trial that "the charges against me have been dropped because the people of Durham nave refused to see their Constitutional rights of pe tition violated." "However, the defense of our libqrties is an ancient fight and this .victory does not end- it. Eternal vigilance will be requir ed if we are to keep the freedom that we have always known." Judge Stevens accused Evans of being among the group using the Constitution to hide behind while "attempting to scuttle the very country that Constitution stands for." Judge A. R. Wilson, who is sued the order to police to ar rest the petitioners, also branded the petition as communistic in open court. Wilson stated, "I can prove without a shadow of doubt that the leader of the Communist party in North Carolina who lives in Chapel Hill, got Evans to make the test case." Lie Second Term Vetoed By Russia , LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Oct. 12 (UP) Russia today used its 4Cth veto to kill a sf.cond term for Trygve Lie as United Na tions secretary-general.

Rooms will be hard to get. -' To ease this situation the Uni versity Club has made arrange ments for a special train to carry Tar Heel students to Knoxville. Since the train also will be carrying other people it is hoped by the committee that a large enough delegation is formed so that we will be able to get our own special train strictly for Car olina students. In order for this to be possible it will be neces sary that 400 or 500 students make Draft May Get 18-Year-0lds; Mew Goal Cited Tough Job Seen In Winning Over Solons-Hcrshey WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 (UP) -Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, National Selective Service Direc tor, said today the question "of asking Congress to lower the draft age to 18 is being "seri ously considered." He made the statement soon after President Truman issued strict, new draft regulations for doctors, dentists and veterina- ians. They are aimed to guar antee minimum health standards for civilians and put younger medics in uniform first." In a speech before the Wash ington Chapter of the American Veterans Committee, Hershey said World War II .veterans could be "wholly" excepted if draft boards were allowed to tap the "very rich source of manpower" represented by 18-year-olds. Under present draft regulations, men 18 through 25 must register for the draft but only those 19 or above may be inducted. Queried by reporters whether he is ready to ask Congress for an, 18-year-old draft, Hershey refused to comment except to say the question is being "seriously considered." He conceded he was getting in to a "dangerous field" and said he didn't know if Congress could be sold on the idea. He said se lective service could get more men by lowering the draft age than by raising it because more older men have dependents. j Veterans now are draft-proof but Hershey has said repeatedly it may be necessary to take them if the armed forces continue to build toward President Truman's! goal of 3,000,000 men in uniform.! The medical regulations, an nounced by the White House in Mr. Truman's absence, make it. difficult for those affected to ob tain deferments unless their serv ices are vitally needed at home. All medical men under age 51 are covered and the vanguard of 19,000 will register Monday. Barring an unexpected surge of volunteers, the first group of 300 will be inducted into the Army on Nov. 15. Unlike the regular 19-through-25 draft, in which older men ar taken first, the medical draft will reach younger men first provid ed they did not See extensive service in World War II. All deferments will be decided by local draft boards, with sthe advice of local medical commit tees. The boards will be required to make sure a doctor's induction will not cause health services in his community to fall below "rea sonable, minimum standards." the trip. Special busses will carry students to Durham where the train will leave Friday night at 7:30. John Slemp, chairman of the "Weekend, has announced that the train departure time has been purposely set for Friday night so that students will not have to reserve hotel rooms. With the train fare set at $13.11 for the round trip, the entire weekend should be very inexpensive. This should rnake it possible for an (See CARAVAN, page 4) i l vaa en.

Life j ig- rime NEW YORK, ; Oct. 12 (P) College football, beset by" spiraling costs of everything from adhesive tape to star halfbacks, "is on the verge of pricing itself right out of business," Life Magazine declares in-an article appearing in this week's issue. - Asserting that it costs $275,000 a year not counting player subsidies - and other "hidden" expenses to maintain a big time football team, the magazine says that some schools are losing money and giving up in disgust. "The good old days, when a college could get rich simply by violating a few amateur ideals, are dead," Life says. "Halfbacks can no longer be bought for $50 and a free education. "There are no amateur standards left worth mentioning.. It is mostly touchdowns and dollars and cents. As a big business, foot ball has not only kept up with the pace of inflation but is way out in front ruiming' interference for it." The article says it cost the University of North Carolina $275,- j 000 again not counting player ! Reason. ' Life quotes Coach Carl Soavely. of North Carolina as saying: , "The tendency is to dip into gate receipts to go out and get more players to build bigger and better teams, then build bigger stadiums to get" bigger crowds to get-more money to spend on more players t build bigger and better teams. . "There isr ho tfamh'excuse for the $1,000 in the bank. I believe in declaring these players ineligible. The only way you're going to control the alumni is to make them think their money is going to hell." The most important single item of expenses, the Life article says, never shows on the books at most schools. "That is charged to organizations like Educational Foundation, Inc., a group of loyal North Carolina alumni who maintain a fund of $500,000 and sweeten it by $150,000 each year," Life points out. "Ohio State has its Front Liners and Southern California its Trojan Club; Oklahoma's Quarterback Club dug deep in its pocket to buy talent last year." .

Battleship Missouri led a heavy Allied sea-air bombardment Thursday that set aflame the North Korean port of Chingjin, near the Siberia-Manchurian borders. United Nations ground troops were advancing relentlessly on the North Korean capital of Pyongyang from the south and southeast against weakening Red resistance. The attack on Chongjin, on the northeast coast, could be . the softening-up process for an Al lied landing, or it could be a diversion to draw attention from a landing elsewhere. It also could be merely a routine smash at targets of opportunity. The Sept. 15 Allied landings at Inchon, on the west coast, which led to smashing of the Red In vasion of South Korea, were pre bombarment and a simultaneous Siberian border and 43 miles churia border at the closest points. It is linked by rail with Manchuria. Carrier-based planes rocketed the city for two days before tne attack from the sea opened Thurs day. The U. S. Cruiser Helena led the sea strike with a quick shell ing from close up, with her 8 inch guns. Then the ponderous Missouri began throwing in one ton missiles from threfe of her nine 16-inch guns. The U. S. Cruiser Worchester, the British Cruiser Ceylon, and the Australian Destroyer Warra munga also- participated. Photographer - correspondent Gene Herrick, who watched the assault from the decks of the Missouri, said part of the city was ablaze one hour after the shelling. - Nachman lis About f ball subsidies to stay big time last Allen Speaks Here Monday Devere Allen, editor of the Worldover Press and outstanding authority on world problems, will speak here Monday on the theme, "Moral Action in the World Cri sis."
