Marin Reservoir TOKYO, Thursday, Nov. 16 (UP) Blizzard-chilled U. S. Ma rines struck to the great Chosin Reservoir yesterday as allied 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 the basin, whose power plants are one of the richest prizes of the Korean war. Front reports said the Communists had fallen back 10 miles, or to the north shore, indicating that they were giving up the whole vast hydroelectric system without a fight. United Nations troops swung forward a cautious few miles in nearly all sectors of the front. The Communist forces. Chinese 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 (See SOLON, Page 4) 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. Ad To vonce Despite Blizzard and North Korean alike, had faded back. Only in narrow sec tions of central Korea around Tokchon and on the extreme northeastern front . were they making a fight of it. A battalion of some 1,000 Com munists hit the South Korean Eighth Division lines four miles northeast of Tokchon and knocked the Republicans back four miles. There they braced and dug in on the south bank of the Taedong River, four miles east of Tok chon, 50 miles inland from the northwest coast. The shoe was on the other foot practically everywhere else. The U. S. 24th Division advanced 3x2 miles east of Pakchon in the Chongchon River bridgehead. The 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. RoadGrading Jobs Include Local Project Special to The Dailv Tar Heel RALEIGH, Nov. 15 Bids were advertised yesterday for the new four-lane highway between Dur ham and Chapel Hill, which would clip nearly four miles from the route now in use. Part of 20 projects involving 177.34 miles of road work, the new highway work calls for 8.35 miles of grading and structures from the end of the curb and gutter on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill northeast to Booker Creek, thence east crossing N. C. 751 and U. S. 5,01 and tying into' University Drive at the Durham city limits. Bids will be opened Nov. 28. Quarterly Staff Will Meet Today There will be an important meeting of all members of the staff of the Carolina Quarterly in the Quarterly office at 2 p. m. today. , - Plans for the promotion of the first issue will be considered, and also material for the second issue. Editor Lyn Miller asked that all staffers attend the meeting. Chos m Yanks found no enemy there. The U. S. 1st Cavalry Division seized a chain of hills north of Won on the Chongchon east of Pakchon. British troops on the west coast moved forward a mile. Suoth Koreans to the east pushed northward more than a mile be yond the Tokchon-Kuni High way, and set out to retake Tok chon. In northeast Korea the U. S. 7th Division vanguard, pushing forward within 20-odd miles of the Manchuriari border, scored another 2Vz mile advance north of the Ungi River above Rungsam.

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. f ? x JERRY HENRICK Jerry Henrick 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."

Persons interested in taking part in debating or other speech activities should contact Paul Roth, Bob Hutchinson or Car olyn Stallings, officers of the debating council. 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 sination of Lincoln and the sur render of Lee. An oldtimer at the Soldiers' Home said he has 505 bills, whose face value is $50,000. "They be longed to grandpa," he wrote. ; Carroll Simms, whose great grandfather was 'William Gilmore Simms, the South Carolina writ er, said he had some bills and might have had more if you-know-who hadn't burned up great grandfather's house and $10,000 in money.

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.

And why hasn't this quota been filled? Deferments, postpone ments for college men said O. S. Slaunwhite, Board official. "The college situation will get worse in the next few mpnths but farmers who have been de ferred to finish their crops will begin to swell the quota," he said. Numerous University men have reported they have received calls to report the 21st of this month next Tuesday: However, includ ed in their greetings from Uncle (See DRAFT, page 4) Group Meets Today On Sixth Sorority A special committee will meet this afternoon to discuss the ques tion of whether or not Carolina will get a sixth sorority.

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 highest. Yes, was the reply. No deal, said the gaffer, who placed considerable sentimental value on his money. One peculiar note on the auc tion: It may be that Confederate money will go farther here than, it did in the last days of the Civil War.

Also, Speaker Herb Mitchell will report on whether or not he will appoint a Legislature committee to work with the student - merchant plan execu tive group.

Several bills are scheduled to come before the solons tonight. One would amend the election laws and another would give the head cheerleader member .ship in the University Club as a voting member. 1.
