forces all across Korea advanced
in the wake of a general Com
munist withdrawal up to 10 miles.
The Leathernecks seized ridges
commanding the south shore of

one of the richest prizes of the
Korean war. Front reports said
the Communists had fallen back

All Politicians
Need Ethics,
Says Solon
One of the great needs in pol
itics today is for more leaders
with a high sense of ethics and
morality, Congressman Brooks
Hays of Arkansas, a noted Bap- j
l-tist layman, asserted here yester
day.
Speaking in Memorial Hall in
one of a series of meetings being
held at the University as features
of Religious Emphasis Week,
Congressman Hays said "we need
leaders who can see their re
sponsibility to a Higher Power in
politics."
The Congressman also empha
sized the need for the "unpurch
asable man" in politics.
Speaking as ' a : churchman and
also a practical politician, Hays
called for "clean" politics and
denounced "ballot box tamper
ing" and "incorruptible ma
chinery." Those are things that
Christian communities must be
concerned about, he declared.
He cautioned against "identify
ing righteousness with either a
political party or a candidate for
office."
Hays' advice to political aspir
ants was "don't become cynical."
In government, he said, there are
great opportunities for service.
Dr. Arthur L. Kinsolving, Rec
tor of St. James Church, New
York City, told the -students that
in order to have harmony in one's
iife there must be "consent." He
said to have harmony in every
thing, from colors", to furniture,
to personal relationships, there
must be a consent between' the
two, "and to live a full and com
plete life, there must be a con
sent within yourself to accept
God first."
Dr. Kinsolving visits some 30

Judges of the manuscripts will
be Paul Green and Daphne Atnas,
both well known authors and res
idents of Chapel Hill.
Green is the writer of the sym
phonic dramas "Lost Colony" and
"Common Glory," both of which
are staged annually at Manteo,
and Williamsburg, Va., respective
ly. At present he is reported to
be completing a dramatic adapta
tion of "Peer Gynt," a symphonic
suite by 'Grieg.
Miss" Athas is the . author of
"Weather ' of the -Heart," which
was published in 1948..
The forthcoming issue of the
Quarterly, which went to press
yesterday will feature four short
stories by undergraduate students
here.
"The issus will tend toward the
experimental in fiction," Lynn
said. "We are taking a particular
interest in the students, not be
cause they are students but be
cause we believe there is a great
deal of neglected literary talent
at the University.

Tokchon and on the extreme

making a fight of it.
A battalion of some 1,000 Com

Eighth Division lines four miles
northeast of Tokchon and knocked
the Republicans back four miles.
There they braced and dug in

Curb Stores, Signs
On Dual Highway
A local Kiwanian has instituted a move to place restric
tions on the erection of commercial signs and businesses on
the new four-lane highway to be constructed between Dur
ham and Chapel Hill.
Grady Pritchard, speaking
the Chapel Hill Community
Council here Tuesday night that
he hoped to gain the co-operation
of civic groups in both towns.
' "If some restriction is not
placed on the roadway, it soon
will become a midway," he said.
For a comparative project, he
pointed out the Blue Ridge Park
way in the Smoky Mountains.
He said he hoped the restrictive
measures could be brought about
by civic organization backing
but said he was prepared to go
to the State legislature' in Janu
ary if necessary.
A five-man committee, formed
of Chape,l Hill residents, will
meet this ''week to formulate a
letter to other local groups ask
ing their support.
The committee is made up of
Carl Durham, Collier Cobb,
Thomas D. Rose, R. J. M. Hobb.s,
and Louis Graves.
One of the immediate measures
to be placed in action, Pritchard
said, would be the extension of
the road's right-of-way. In addi
tion to the road proper, he said,
the planning would call for simi
lar restrictions on the by-pass
around Chapel Hill.
The by-pass matter calls for
immediate attention, he said! "If
it 'is not considered before grad
ing gets underway, it will be too
late for residences will spring up
shortly after road construction
gets started," he said.

Unique Auction Brings Results
If You Save Confederate Money,
Boys ,You May Win Television Set
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 ()
For what may be the first time
since the Civil War, it now isj
possible to buy merchandise with
Confederate money.
A local radio station, WRC, had
the idea it would make a nice
stunt to auction off 'a $525 tele
vision set.
But the buyer would be the
person who could pay off with the
most Confederate bills. The de
nomination of the bills didn't
count. One hundred $1 bills were
rated 100 times as valuable as
one $100 bill. '
The results have been sur
prising. So far, with the auction
winding up Friday, more than
21,000 bills have been bid.
This may be due to the fact
that Washington is, to a large
extent, still a southern city. And
Virginia is just across the Potomac.

Enters Frosh
Election Race
Freshman elections, usually the
dullest and most uncontested of
them all, became a mad scramble
yesterday when Jerry Henrick, a
17-year-old from Raleigh, declar
ed as independent to make it at
least a four-way race for Thurs
day, Nov. 30.
Young Henrick was gradu
ated from Hugh Morson High
School where he was a member of
the Student Council and on the
staff of the school publication.
At present, he is Secretary-Treasurer
of Lewis Dormitory.
In announcing his platform yes
terday, Henrick said:
"I feel we could better look
out for the wishes of the class
if not tied down to a party. I also
would like to work on improving
social functions for the class as
a whole."
Others in the battle include

The negative teams are; (1)

Persons interested in taking

At any rate, here are a few of
the letters that have turned up:
A fellow in Benedict, Md., said
he found his bills in a neat bundle
in the attic. He said the bills were
wrapped in a newspaper dated
April, 1865, and that the paper
had the details both on the assas

render of Lee.

Solons Get Report
On Library Problem
Probably one of the most in
teresting things to come before
the Student Legislature at its
meeting at 7:30 tonight will be
a report on a bill passed last
spring.
John Hazelhurst, acting as a
committee-of-one, will tell the
Legislators of progress made in
an effort to get the University
Library to remain open on Sun
day night rather than Saturday
night.
The solons passed the bill last
year so that "more people will
be able to benefit." It was point
ed out at the time of the act's
passage, that the Library is
used sparsely on Saturday.

One gaffer called in to say he
had a trunk full of the stuff in
Orlando, Fla. He wanted to know
if he would have to turn loose
of the money if his offer was

considerable sentimental value on
his money.
One peculiar note on the auc

it did in the last days of the
Civil War.
