American Force
Moves Toward
Soviet Border
Troops Are Within
38 Miles Of Line
On Eastern Coast
TOKYO, Wednesday, Nov. 1
(UP) American forces rolling up
the east and west coasts of Korea
made non-stop drives toward the
Manchurian and Soviet borders
today in an effort to seize as much
territory as possible before the
revived enemy army has a chance
to make a last stand.
The commanders of the U. S.
24th and 7th Divisions ordered
their men to drive toward the
northern border of Korea as fast
as possible. ' "
The 24th's deepest thrust was
made to a point within 25 miles
of Manchuria on western Korea's
"lifeline" highway. When last
heard from, the U. S. 7th Division
was within 38 miles of the border
on the east coast.
The weary 24th Division vete
rans of more than four months of
bloody Korean warfare were or
dered to keep going, without paus
ing to sleep, throughout last night.
Their commander expected them
to reach the border tonight.
Maj. Gen. Edward M. Almond,
commander tf the United Nations
iuxn iorps, oi wmcn tne vtn Ui
vision is a part, instructed the
Americans to spear north as far
as possible before the enemy's
well-organized new defense army
has a chance to counter-attack.
Tanks Repel
Puerto Rican
Rebel Force
SAN JUAN, P. R.f Oct. 31
(UP) National Guard units led
by planes and tanks fought today
against the last remnants of a
two-day anti-American national
ist revolt labeled officially as
"lunacy."
Latest police casualty figures
were 30 persons killed and dozens
wounded. Unofficial estimates
placed the fatalities at approxi
mately 40.
There were new scattered na
tionalist outbreaks in San Juan
and Arecibo. The Island Capital
and other cities were turned into
armed camps, alerted for possible
new attacks.
Gov. Luis Munoz Marin whom
nationalists assassins narrowly
missed yesterday, said. Jayuya,
one of the last rebel strongholds,
in the center of the island, was
"under complete control," with
guardsmen and police in full
charge.
National Guard reinforcements
then moved on to Utuado, north
west of Jayuya, where 34 guards
men were beseiged by nationalists
and latest word indicated that
the situation there .was in hand,
Munoz said.
The island's first popularly
elected Governor described the
uprising an act of "lunacy." He
said the worst was over and es
timated the island would be com
pletely normal in a day or two.
Munoz said that as 'far as he
knew no bombing was done by
National Guard planes and that
except for one bridge that was
strafed by one plane, there was
no strafing.
He denounced the nationalists
as "gangsters" with a "fanatical
desire to become some ind of
martyrs in accordance with their
strange ideology." .

1 Tibet is an integral part of

Son-ln-Law
Is NY Suicide
NEW YORK, Oct. 31 (UP)
John Boettiger, 50 the former
son-in-law of Franklin D. Roose
velt, overpowered a male nurse
and dived to his death at sunrise
today from a seventh floor hotel
window.
Boettiger succeeded in killing
himself after failing in a suicide
attempt last Saturday when he
took an overdose of sleeping pills
which made him unconscious for
two days. His physician tried to
persuade him to enter a psychia
tric hospital yesterday but he re
fused. The form.er newspaperman, who
wooed and won the late Presi
dent's only daughter, Anna, while
covering the White House for the
Chica'go Tribune, left two notes
to his third wife, the former Mrs.
Virginia Lunn. One said: "Good
night, darling. We love you."
At the time of her husband's
death, Mrs. Boettiger was flying
here from California because of
his first suicide attempt and to be
with him on their first wedding
anniversary tomorrow. She
shrieked "Oh, no!" and fell sobb
ing to her knees when told the
news at La Guardia Airport short
ly before noon.
Joseph Payne, a 24-year-old
nurse who struggled in vain to
prevent Boettiger's death plunge,
.told police the story of his pa
tient's last hours.
Paynes said Boettiger ordered
some ice cream about 10 o'clock
last night and then spent two
hours talking about his family.
"We talked of his wife and how
charming she was, Payne said.
We talked of the Roosevelt fam
ily. He said Mrs. Roosevelt was
one of the sweetest women in the
world."
Then Payne said, Boettiger
asked for stationary and wrote his
wife a letter. Then he asked
Payne to raise the window as far
as it would go: Payne obeyed, to
humor his patient, placed an over
stuffed chair by the sill and gave
Bosttiger a sedative.
Fire Danger
At Colleges
BOSTON, Oct. 31 (UP) A
safety engineer said tonight that
"colleges and universities are
woefully unprepared for the ex
isting dangers of residence hall
fires."
John J. Ahern, director of fire
pretection and safety engineer
ing at Illinois Institute of" Tech
nology,, said "College students
have become the step-children of
the safety movement."
"Many colleges are not aware
of the, hazards they are harbor
ing," he said. Except in the
larger state-supported universi
ties, even minimum precautions
for the protection of students are
sadly and dangerously lacking,"
Ahern said.
He said the traditional dormi
tory, fraternity and sorority type
of building was "bulit to burn
and to burn quickly."

Di Votes For
De-Emphasis
Of Football
After nearly two hours of de-,
bate, the Dialectic Senate Mon
day night voted 14 to 13 in favor
of a bill calling for de-emphasis
. of football.
Dr. A. G. Enstrom, of the
French Department, opened the
debate by speaking for the bill.
He told of how professional
college football "is crowding ac
ademics out of the picture."
Dr. Enstrom pointed out that
while Carolina has the second
best graduate school in the
South, there are few people
who know of its renown in edu
cational circles. . "Instead, each
week the people of the state
are told in great detail about
the accomplishments of the
football team," he said.
Several speakers were op
posed to the bill, but a final
vote of both Senators and visi
tors showed 27 for the measure
and 25 against.
, Next week, the Di will dis
cuss a proposal to write in the
name of Senator Frank P. Gra
ham on the ballot this month.
Clyde Baker, Harold Schaef
fer, and Will London recently
were sworn in as new members
of the Di Senate, and Archie

For Further
Discussions
By Barrett Boulware
The question of whether or
not Carolina wants a sixth
sorority received -an over
whelming "yes" in results re
leased yesterday from a coed
poll in which undergraduate
women voted seven to one in
favor of a new Greek letter
group.
Katherine Carmichael, Dean
of Women, reported yesterday
that a joint decision by the.
Special Committee on Soror
ity Problems, the University's
Administration and the Pan Hel
lenic. Council will determine
whether a new sorority will be
admitted, and if so, what sorority.
In the survey conducted by the
Coed senate Thursday night, 480
of 621 undergraduate women
voted. Of this number, 363 were
for a new organization, 53 were
against it, and 64 indicated no
preference.
The Special Committee on Sor
ority Problems will meet on Nov.
16 to issue a report and decide
on the question, according to
Dean Carmichael, Chairman of
the committee.
"The report will be combined
with those of the administration
and the Pan Hellenic Council to
reach the final decision," she said.
The special committee met last
Sunday to formulate a procedure
whereby another sorority may
open a chapter at the University.
The rules set up are:
(1) "A sorority wishing to
start a chapter should apply by
January of the year in question
both to the Pan Hellenic Coun
cil and to the Special Committee
on Sorority Problems, using the
form application which will be
provded on requesf."
(2) "If the new chapter is ap
proved by the Pan Hellenic
Council, the Special , Committee
on Sorority Problems, and the
Administration, the national or
ganization should send a 'colon
izing' group of girls in the spring
term."
(3) "During the spring and
summer, the colonizing sorority
must get acquainted with the
campus, find satisfactory hous
ing accomodations, and obtain the
charter for the chapter."
