All Communist dispatches reaching here and all broadcasts by the Peiping Radio hammered out the same recurrent themes: 1. The Chinese Communists will oppose "American Imperialist ag gressors" with concrete action, and 2. American use of Atomic Bombs will mean retaliation in kind. There were reports of great troop movements northward. Chinese Nationalists said 400,000 Chinese Reds already had invaded North Korea and that the same number of reserves was massed on the border. Chinese Communist vitupera tion against the United States was expected to reach a crescen do Tuesday the 33rd anniversary of the Soviet revolution. Communist porpaganda chief Lu Ting-Yi in a special message commemorating the anniversary said "American intervention in Korea signalizes an intention to (See CHINESE, page 4) Gray Named Special to The Daily Tar Heel RALEIGH, Nov. 6 Gordon Gray.

Manchurian Based Jet Attacks Troops American Forces Solidify Lines Across Northern Waist Of Korea TOKYO, Tuesday, Nov. 7 (UP) An enemy jet fighter made the first officially reported attack on U.

Meigs County Schools were closed during the uproar over 16-year-old Annette Hipps' ' right to reign. She became more of an election issue than the records of the tvo candi dates for the Legislature Rep. Mary Shadow, Democrat and a bit of a queen herself, and Walter White, Republican. The redhot Legislature race reached into the classrooms when Prof. D. P. Powell of Meigs County High hurled a charge of "fix" at Principal A. B. Culvahouse in connection with Miss Hipps' election. Powell, it turned out, had a favorite of his own for the queen title, 14-year-old Jac queline Grubb.

His plea was relayed to Federal Judge Edward A. Tamm by Wash ington Attorney William E. Lsahy, who was appointed last week as an "Officer of the Court" to in form Collazo of his rights and find out whether he was in a pos ition to hire his own legal coun sel. Tamm promised he would name an attorney to represent Collazo without charge.

"Lack of contact! was the word all along the northwestern Ko rean front where only 24 hours ago the Americans were on the retreat to new positions south of tlie Chbngchon on the road to Pyongyang. American officers could give no explanation for the sudden, mysterious absence of the; enemy. However, there were no signs he was in retreat. There still was no clearcut pic ture of the strength of Chinese troops, charged by Gen. Douglas MacArthur with entering Korea! in one of history's most glaring examples of "international law- lessness." Prisoners have been taken from six divisions identified as parts of the Chinese 39th and 42nd Route Armies. Their strength has 'been reported as anywhere from 6,000 soldiers to a division to normal strength of 10,000. Some Chinese prisoners said each di vision along the Manchurian bor der was ordered to contribute L000 soldiers for North Korean duty. Tree Nations Will Prevail Says Truman INDEPENDENCE, Mo., Nov. 6 (.P) President Truman voiced to the world today the firm con viction that the free nations in evitably will prevail against the tyranny of "Communist Imper ialism." He spoke from the portico of ihe Memorial Auditorium "to thousands of fellow townsmen gathered in the street. In this ;ame building tomorrow he" will vote "the straight Democratic ticket" before flying back to Washington. He spoke against the backdrop of a worsened situation in Korea brought on by the movement into that country of Chinese troops from Manchuria. Before the ad dress he had a long-distance, tele phone conference with Secretary of State Acheson. "The leaders .of Communist imperialism have chosen to follow the path of aggression," Mr. Tru man said. "Through threats and through the use of force, they, are seeking to impose their will upon peoples all over the world. "So long as they persist in that course, the free nations have one choice if they are to remain free. They must oppose strength with strength." ;-- i .Li jiuiju t.llili ym II .Uii.ii J hi) ii.i'mmi II i :i-.-:.y-'::cv; ,: ?' 4 v REW Unit Will Visit Students A committee representing all organized student church groups will visit dorms, and fraternity and sorority houses this week to invite students to the evening meetings to be held as part of Religious Emphasis Week which starts here Sunday.

Defeat, Warns Russian LONDON, Nov. 6 (UP) A top-ranking Russian leader warned the United States by im .plicntion tonight that its forces in Korea might be "defeated to tally and driven out."

Science Students Must Be 'Spared' WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (IP) The National Society of Profes sional Engineers proposed today that enough engineering and science students be spared from the draft to safeguard against ; future manpower shortages in ' those fields. Similar pleas have been made recently in behalf of doctors, so called "superior" students and other groups. The NSPE said the nation's fu ture defense needs could ill afford a shortage of upcoming engi neers and scientists. And it declared: - " "A future shortage in the Humanities and Liberal Arts courses would be much less serious."

Shavs Body Is Cremated In Last Rites LONDON, Nov. 6 (P) George Bernard Shaw's body was cre mated today without a preacher or a prayer. The great playwright, believed by most . of the world to be an atheist but said by some to have believed in a God, had the kind of funeral he wanted almost. The service was in the Golders Green Crematorium in a residen tial, section of London. Shaw had wanted no tears. But Virginia-born Lady Astor, his close friend, left the service red eyed. ' He had wanted no floVers. But admirers from all over the world sent wreaths. One came from the British Communist party. Shaw had called himself a Communist. Late in his life he came to ridicule Karl Marx, but he said he admir ed Stalin. The flowers were placed in a room adjoining that where the service was held. The old Irishman had hoped for a private funeral. Only 36 per sons, friends and servants, were admitted. But crowds thronged outside. The best known playwright of modern times and one of the sharpest critics of those times died at the age of 94 last Thurs day morning in his cottage at Ayot St. Lawrence. Kidney com plications after he had broken his thigh in a fall in his flower garden caused his death. He had said he wanted his ashes mixed with those of his wife, Charlotte, who died in 1943. Mrs. Shaw's ashes were in an urn on top of Shaw's casket dur ing his funeral. Those in charge did not say what was lo be done with the ashes of the playwright or his wife. But there has been spec ulation that Shaw's remains wiLl be buried in Poet's Corner at Westminister Abbey, last resting place of Britain's great.

GOP Leaders blam trumans Foreign Policy Parties Making Final Accusations Before Ejections By The Associated Press Republicans hammered hard at the grave turn of events in Korea on the eve of today's elections, slamming back at President Tru man's campaign attack on "iso lationist" critics. For the third straight day, a topflight GOP leader tried to put the blame for the Chinese Com munist intervention on the Demo crats' political doorstep as a fail ure of Truman's Far East policy. The Republican drum fire on this theme opened up with the first replies to President Truman';; political speech in St. Louis Sat urday night. There Mr. Truman sought to pin the label of isola tionists on some Republicans who have differed with his foreign affair's handling, declaring: "A vote for isolationism in this election would be a vote for na tional suicide." Yesterday Gov. Thomas K. Dewey, campaigning for a third term as Governor of New York, had a dawn-to-midnighl tele vision show. lie plunged right into the Chin ese invasion of Korea. "This very great tragedy," Dewey said, could have been averted "if we htd supported Chiang Kai-Shek and had not let hi government fall, or if we had not cleared out of Korea." Previously Harold Stassen, pres ident of the University of Penn sylvania and picked the Re publican's No. 1 spokesman, and chairman Guy George Gabriel son of the GOP National Com mittee had pounded at the same idea on successive days. No one knows what effect, if any, this appeal will have on tlie 42,000,000 voters a record for a year in which no President is elected who are expected to go to the polls. Both sides have said a large number of voters were waiting until the last moment to make up their minds. Not every vote for a Democrat is by any means an endorsement of Mr. Truman's foreign policy or of the administration's "Fair Deal" program. Nor is every Re publican vote necessarily a rep udiation of Mr. Trurnan. Red Chinese Begin Total Mobilization LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. C)(f') Gen. Douglas MacArthur noti fied the United Nations today that Chinese Communist troops are fighting U. N. forces in Korea. The United States promptly call ed for a special security council meeting Wednesday morning to consider this turn of events.
