FIRST CAVALRY DIVISION passes a burning building on the oui skirls of the cily of Pyongyang, capital of North Korea. American and South Korean troops swung into the Red city in an almost unbelieveable time after capturing thousands of enemy troops and sup plies in a whirlwind campaign. Early last night, the city was almost completely under domination of UN troops. Pyongyang Sliced y U.S., S. w TOKYOj Friday, Oct. 20.- (UP) -American and South Kor eans fought their way through the heart of Pyongyang to day in the final struggle for the enemy capital where Amer ican prisoners of war once were marched in humiliation. The U. S. 1st Calvary Division drove the first steel wedge into Pyongyang at 11:02 a.m. Thursday and quickly linked up in the heart of the city with the South Korean 1st Division which entered 18 minutes later. A dispatch from Correspondent Glen Stackhouse in Pyongyang said that U. S. and South Korean troops" secured the eastern" half j "' of the city by' nightfall and had thrown a firm bridgehead across the Taedong river into the wes tern half of the city of nearly i.ooo.ooo. He said 6,000 Communists sur rendered during the first day's fighting and that others fled in panic to the north. The swift American descent on the city turned the enemy retreat into a rout and dumbfounded Commun ists so thoroughly their defenses in the city were not manned. Rodas leading to Pyongyang were strewn with abandoned equip ment and enemy dead. There was no word on libera tion of U. S. prisoners reported held in Pyongyang but the 5th Air Force said that from 50 to 100 Americans were sighted north of the city. Air observers said they did not appear to be guarded and were ixmvinf to nilnts not to bomb orlrinitv nf Sukhva Rechka" which strafe them. It was possible they means Dried-Up River in Russian were part of the estimated 2,000 , an(j js located some 60 miles in to 3,000 Americans once reported j sjde Soviet territory to the east held in Pyongyang. First Calvarymen sped .through the city to the east bank of the Taedong but were stalled tem porarily by sporadic machinegun and sniper fire. Maj. Gen. Ho bart Gay, their commander, or dered all available tanks and ar tillery forward to rain steel on the enemy areas and the river was soon forded. The retreating enemy had blown up the main span of the vehicle bridge as they withdrew and Gay- ordered Infantrymen across with bazookas, machine guns and rifles so engineers could throw up temporary brid ges for tanks, trucks and other vehicles.

Y., Oct. 19 (UP) The United States today admitted Russian charges that two American jet planes strafed an airfield 60 miles inside Soviet territory 11 days ago. The United Nations was informed that the violation of Soviet territory was unintentional. The United States expressed re gret and offered to pay damages. In a letter to Secretary-General Trygve Lie, American Delegate Warren R. Austin explained that the pilots, operating for UN forces in Korea, were guilty of bad navi gation and judgment in failing to determine positively that their target was in Korea. The letter said all pilots on UN misions in Korea had been care fully instructed to" avoid the So viet and Manchurian borders. It located the scene of the unintentional attack "in the vi- of Korea, The incident referred to in to day's U. S. note was the first in volving a violation of Russian territory during the Korean oper ations. The Chinese Communists have made several complaints that American planes attacked targets in their territory. The U. S. has admitted one of the alleged attacks on the Manchurian town of Antung. The Great American Way U.S. World Peace Ideal Pays OH; Russian Obstructions F inally Backfire By J. M. Roberts. Jr. AP Foreign Affairs Analyst k All the old sayings about suc cess begetting success have cer tainly been, vorking in the Uni ted Nations 'lately. Only a few months ago the organization was in the doldrums. Its committee files were full of matters indexed under "forget" because of Russian obstruction. It was still receiving lipservice from the diplomats, but little more, and the tendency in world affairs was all toward action un der the cloak of, but actually out side, the peace organization. Then Russia made another of her great mistakes. She was en joying a protracted walk-out Nurses' Home Building Bids Opened H ore Low bids totaling $2,272,954 plus architects fees and equip ment for the construction of a School of Nursing and a dormi tory for nurses and quarters for internes were opened here yes terday. ........ The bids are slightly above the State appropriation but Uni versity officials expressed the hope some savings may be ef fected to make the bid, if ap proved by the State Budget Bureau,' come within available funds. Consisting of classrooms and laboratories as well as living quarters-for nurses and internes, the new building would be lo cated northeast of the University Teaching Hospital how under construction and will be con nected with that structure. The building will be in three stories and will provide accom odations for 250 nurses arid 100 internes as well as offices, classrooms and laboratories for the School of Nursing. Low bids were as follows: General contract, J. A. Jones Construction Company, Char lotte, $1,882,800. Elevator: Monarch Elevator Company, Greensboro, $44,500. President Hints Job For Senator Graham WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 -(P)-President Truman hinted today that the administration - might have a job for Senator Graham (D-NC) after his pre ' sent terfn runs out. Graham was defeated in the Democratic Primary. Asked at a news conference whether he has anything in mind, for Graham, Mr. Truman said that the Senator had told him he wants to serve out his term and he said he told the Senator to come in and talk with him , afterward. when the Korean warr broke.' America quickly took advan tage of the Security Council ma chinery ,to get a counter-attack under way. Russia rushed back, but too late to throw any real blocks. The U. N., for the first time in its five-year history, tast ed real power. It had brought, pressure before with some good results. But now it learned that it could act, too. Taking the bit in their teeth, the,. delegates decided that they would no longer tolerate the old "Debating Society" tag. Now they have stepped out, through th e resolution provid ing for arms with which to back General Assembly decisions, to French General Visits Hanoi With Experts Viet-Minh Rebels Capture 5. Posts Within A Month HANOI, French Indo-China. Oct. 19 (UP) French fighter planes escorted Gen. Alphonse Juin from Saigon to Hanoi today and the veteran French colonial warrior left immediately for the front where Communist-lead Viet Minh rebels have captured five frontier posts within a month. Four planeloads of French mil itary experts, who arrived from Paris earlier this week, accompa nied Juin to Hanoi. They landed at the Red-menaced Hanoi Air pqrt at noon while the fighter planes flew protective cover over head. (Simultaneous with Juin's ar rival, a Chines Nationalist News dispatch from Nanning, in South ern Kwangsi Province, said 15-.000 Chinese Communist troops had crossed the border into Indo China. The dispatch was wholly unconfirmed and officials were inclined to doubt it.) (A Communist Peking radio broadcast said, meanwhile, that Moscow-trained Ho Chi Minh, leader of the Viet Minh rebels, had written his troops in Indo China hailing their recent vic tories and warning them to pre pare for "harder and greater battles.") ; - - - Juin's arrival coincided .v1n French Premier Rene Pleven's hint to the French Chamber of Deputies in Paris that French forces may withdraw from the remainder of the Indo-Chinese frontier to positions where they can fight the Viet Minh rebels on their own terms. Sign Scroll! Last Chance The scroll signing for the Cru sade for Freedom swings into its last day on campus today with only 1,200 signatures on the rosters. Officials of the drive reminded students that it costs nothing to sign. Contributions are accepted but- not required, it was pointed out. The drive, headed by Gen. (ret.) Lucius D. Clay, is to fight Com munism behind the Iron Curtain. Numerous national leaders are linked with the movement. Booths are set up in the Y lob by from 8 a. ih. to 1 p. m. ; in front of the Bank of Chapel Hill from 2 p. m. until 5:30 p. m., and at the Carolina Theater from 6 p: m. un til 10 p. m.

The Jaycees are sponsors of the local drive. give that body the powers which the Security, Council held but could not exercise because of the Russian veto. The Assembly, of course, will not be able to order troops into the field in the case of another Korea. But it can recommend that its members join in action, and will be assured that they al ready have earmarked military forces with which to carry out its wishes. The overwhelming majority given the resolution, which was initiated by the United States and , co-sponsored by six other notions, insures that, when the need arises, even selfish and spe (See V. S.

' KNOX VILLE, Tenn., Oct. 19 " (UP) The University of Tennessee is considering a split-university , plan- in order to circumvent a ruling that it must provide equal facilities for Negroes, it was learned from unimpeachable sources today. Sources at the University here made it clear that the re sponsibility for the split-university plan, which calls for raising a state Negro college at Nashville to university sta tus, lies entirely with Gov. Gordon Browning. Browning, who also is chair man of the U-T Board of Trus tees, let it b known at Nash ville that the plan calls not only for raising the Agricul tural and Industrial State Col Two SP Men Win Runoff Jim Lamm and Ralph Waddell, both Student Party candidates, won seats in the Student Legis lature yesterday in the District IV runoff elections. ' By winning the two unfilled seats, the Student Party broke a tie between it and the UniversityJ Party, which resulted in the spe cial elections last week. Allman Beaman was the UP candidate. - Di Senate Shifts Time Of Meeting The Dialectic Senate- approved a motion in executive Council Wednesday to transfer the Sen ate's meeting time from Wednes day to Monday at 8 p. m. . " In regular session, the Senate defeated a bill that would pro hibit the "undemocratic and de grading practice of tipping," placing large fines of establish ments supporting it. Debate on the issue lasted more than two hours. New members sworn in at the meeting were Bill Walker, Tom A. Byrd, and Gil Marsh. UN Peace Commission Group Includes Russia LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 19 UP) The UN Political Com mittee today stamped its formal approval on a plan for swift General Assembly action against aggression. It also put Russia on a trouble-shooting peace observation group in a rare dis play of big power harmony. The final, roll-call ' vote on the " : anti-aggression program first laid down by Secretary of State Dean Acheson was 50 to 5. The Russian bloc opposed it, although Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vi shinsky succeeded in getting Rus sia and Czechoslovakia on the peace commission. India, Syria, and Argentina abstained. The United States, France, Brit tain, China, Colombia, India, Iraq, Israel, New Zealand, Swed en, Pakistan and Uruguay were placed on the 14-member Peace Observation Commission with the two Russian bloc countries. John Foster Dulles, U. S. dele gate, hailed the , (Committee action as? "historic"!

"Hereafter, irrespective of Se curity Council vetoes and filibus ter, there can be United Nations readines to observe, United Na tions readiness to act, and mem ber nation readiness to respond," Dulles said. "The combination of readiness should deter aggression and make peace more secure." The committee resolution would permit the 60-nation General Assembly to convene within 24 hours if the Security Council is blocked by a veto from acting in the event of a threat to the peace or aggression. The Assembly also may act promptly if , it is in ses sion when such a threat arises. lege for Negroes at Nashville to University status but units , at Memphis as well. He said the divided univer sity plan would be presented at a special meeting of the U-T Board of Trustees tomorrow. Speculation immediately a rose over the coincidental na ture of Browning's announce ment because the meeting ori ginally was called to consider the applications of three Ne groes for admission to U-T professional schools. No such schools now exist for Negroes in Tennessee. An informed source said that if the Nashville school for Ne groes is raised to university status "evidently" the gover nor intends to recommend ex Solons Told To 'Get On Bal I Or Disband' By Rolfe Neill An absence-riddled Student Legislature yawned and daw dled through a two-hour meeting last night and heard a len gthy report on theTSA convention this summer and a sug gestion to '"get on the ball or disband." Paul Roth, floor leader for the University Party, attacked the solons for apathy in atten- dance as well as duty. In defense of two law makers against whom unseating proce dures were to have been started, Roth declared that "we should have a law to unseat those who are here physically but absent mentally . . . let's get on the ball or disband." - The pair, Bill Bostic and Dick Schwartz, will have their names brought up at the meeting next Thursday night for the unseating process. Speaker Herb Mitchell asked a delay in the action due to numerous vacancies in the Le gislature and the unsureness of the fact that one of the two al ready has resigned. Dick Murphy, student body Attorney-General gave a report on (See SOLONS, page 4) Yackety Yack Pix Deadline Extended Because of the rainy . weather yesterday which kept students away, photographers for the Yack ety Yack will continue to take pictures for the yearbook until next Wednesday. Any student who has not yet had his picture made is asked to do so as soon as possible. Loyal Fans Are Happy; Choo GhooGets No. 22 WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 P) The Washington Redskins bowed yesterday to loyal fans of Charlie (Choo-Choo) Justice and gave the former North Carolina All-Ameri-can his old college jersey number Sophomore Halfback Harry Dowda.'from neighboring Wake Forest, gladly gave it up to his new teammate and fellow Caro linian. He. received the hallowed "44" which had been in mothballs since Tribe Star Andy Farkas retired. Choo-Choo himself had nothing to do with the shift. One number was as good as another to him. But a rhubarb started Monday after the Associated Press photo pansion of that school. State Atty. Gen. Roy H. Bee ler grudgingly ruled recently that the state must provide fa cilities for Negroes' which are not available for them exclu sively now. He said that in as much as these facilities are not now available, the Univer sity of Tennessee must admit Negroes to some of its profes sional schools for whites. The United Press source said it had been "awkward" for university officials to discuss the - Governor's split-university proposal inasmuch as it had not originated with edu cation officials. This source ac knowledged, however, that Browning heads the board of trustees. PB Names E.S. DeLaney Coordinator Ernest S. DeLaney, Jr., gradu ate law student, has been employ ed by the Publications Board as publications financial coordinator effective Nov. 1, according to Zane Ilobbins, chairman of the Board. The Board hired DeLaney after interviewing four applicants for the position during its regular meeting Tuesday afternoon. The position of publications financial coordinator is a new one created by the Board in order to bring about more effective financial control of student publications. DeLaney's duties will include drawing up publications budgets, seeing that the various publica tions adhere to these budgets, signing checks, preparing periodic and yearly financial reports, and keeping regular office hours. DeLaney will be responsible to the Publications Board and will not be a voting member of the Board. In other action, Zane Robbins was elected chairman of the Board and Buddy Vaden was se lected as treasurer to replace Robbins. Frank Allston was cho sen as secretary of the Board last spring. Robbins had been acting as chairman since the resignation of former chairman C. B. Menden hall this summer. Herb Nach man and Buddy Vaden both were seated as members of the Board following their election last week. In accordance with the budget (See PB, page 4 graphed Choo-Choo and his new teammates in the Redskins' back field the only first-string All Southern backfield in the National Football League, and commonly referred to as the "Jeb Stuart" Brigade.

Douglas MacArthur did not settle any dif ferences over Formosa at their Wake Island conference because there were none to be settlorK He told his press conference that Administration policy on the Chinese Nationalist Island strong hold was settled four or five weeks before his 14,400-mile flight to the Pacific for his first face-to-face meeting with the General. That made it unnecessary for him to discuss Formosa with Mac Arthur, he said testily, because the General is loyal to his nation, his position and his Commander-in-Chief, the President. Mr. Truman said he wanted to tell the newsmen something that was good for their souls. He went on to say it was a n'ty that some columnists and reporters cannot understand - the ideas of two in tellectually honest men when they meet. High government officials said Wednesday that the Chief Exec utive had sold MacArthur on hii policy of complete neutrality to ward Formosa at a one-hour meeting that preceded a general two-hour conference on Asia. The president, however, was clearly irritated by the questions about the strategic island. Waving his hands to emphasize his point, he said he went to Wake to get MacArthur's views on the Japa nese Peace Treaty and Korean rehabilitation. He said the latter question was decided, presumably referring to White House reports that he will ask Congress for two appropria tions to help repair war damage on the embattled peninsula.
