WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1950 United Press NUMBER 56 South Carolina H-Bomb Plants Site Announced Building To Start On DuPont Factory Early Next Year WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (UP) Construction of secret plants to make hydrogen bomb explosives will begin early next year on a 260,000-acre site near the Savan nah River, 15 miles south of Ai ken, S. C, the Atomic Energy Commission announced today. The vast project, which will cost upward of $260,000,000, will be built and operated by E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company. The plants will produce tritium, a heavy form of hydrogen which will be the main explosive ingre dient of the H-bomb. Scientists are not yet sure whe ther the H-bomb will be a suc cess. If it doesn't work out, the Savannah River plants will be used to produce regular atomic explosives, such as plutonium. No weapons will be assembled on the South Carolina site. That ticklish work is handled at secret plants elsewhere. More than 100 sites were sur veyed by government engineers during a four-month, nationwide search before the decision was made to build the plants amid the pine forests and cotton farms of western South Carolina. Army engineers will begin buy ing land at once, and an 8,000-man construction crew will be moved in early next year. The plants eventually will employ as many as 23.000 men. The commission said it will be necessary to relocate all of the 1,500 families now living in the area, which includes the 'villages of Ellcnton. Jackson, Dunbarton and Snclling. Most of the villages are more than 200 years old. El lcnton, the largest, has a popula tion of about 1,000.

Behind closed doors, Secretary of State Acheson is reported to have told senators that the mass onslaught of Chinese Communists in Korea demands immediate de cisions on the next moves in the crisis. Legislators raised such ques Fall Election Data Released By With campus-wide fall elections set tomorrow, Elections Board Chairman Julian Mason yesterday released several items concerning candidates and what they must do to stay within the Constitution. Most important of the announcements made was the news that persons running unopposed will not have their names on a ballot. This, Mason explained, is to cut printing costs and do away with unnecessary counting. How ever, he pointed out, should a student receive the 25 or more required write-in votes for the position, the write-in nominee will be in a runoff with the form erly unopposed candidate. Mason listed several dates and times to which candidates must adhere. Today at 5 p.m. is the deadline for requesting (in writing) a write-in ballot. Expense accounts are due in Mason's hands by 6 p.m. tonight. Mason ,asked for anyone inter ested in counting ballots to be in Roland Parker Lounges of Gra ham Memorial tomorrow night. Copies of the elections laws are available in the student govern ment office, he said. ; The polls will be open tomor row at 9 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. The runoff will be next Thursday during the same hours. Expense accounts are due at 6 p.m. on the preceding' Wednesday.

Makes Music After Dinner, Too UNC Bell Tower Passes As Meeting Place And By Wink Locklair The Mbrehead-Patterson Bell Tower had a birthday Thanks giving weekend. It was 19 years old and during those 19 years it has become as familiar a sight to visitors and students as the Old Well or any other campus landmark. On foot ball Saturdays it serves as , a meeting place, for thousands of fans, and following . each game there is a 15 minute program of music and school songs. During the year the bells are heard ev ery night, beginning at 6 o'clock. There were elaborate ceremon ies for the dedication of th $100, 000 structure back in 1931. It was the day of the traditional Caro Negroes' Case Review Slated n March, 1951J Decision Barring 4 From Law School Appealed To U. S. RALEIGH, Nov. 28 (TP) North Carolina's claim that Law School training provided at North Caro lina College is equal to that pro vided at Chapel Hill will be re viewed by the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals next spring. Attorney General Harry Mc Mullan today said an appeal filed by four Negro students had been set for argument in Richmond, Va., the first week of March. The four youths contend they were denied admission to the Uni versity of North Carolina Law School solely because of their race, without being provided equal facilities elsewhere in a state-supported college. The suit first was argued in Middle Dis trict Federal Court at Durham before Judge Johnson J. Hayes. Senior Class Lists Projects For Next Year Senior class officers, in meet ings during this quarter, have progressed rapidly in planning projects for the coming year, class President Ned Dowd announced yesterday. j Dowd said the group is now in ! the process of setting up a Senior Council, to be composed of some 20 outstanding members of the class, to help in carrying out the plans. When the group is completed, members to a number of planning committees-will be chosen from it, Dowd said. The committees that will be formed from the Senior Council will include entertainment, picnic and barefoot day, publicity, com mencement, and special projects. He also released an 11-point program now being considered by the officers and which will be put before the. Council. The program includes plans for: Senior Barefoot Day and the an nual class picnic; a comic news paper concerning seniors; , the Junior - Senior Prom; a "money makingj' project.

S. Divisions in northwest Korea. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, in one of the most dramatic Communiques of his history-shap L.7 mese Creates LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 28 (UP) The United States charged Communist China with "open and notorious aggression" against Korea toda yand a Peking spokesman countered by accusing the U. S. of "stirring up a third world war." The charges and countercharges were made before a dramatic and tense meeting of the United Nations Security Council at which th Chinese Communists spokes for the third time. Ambassador Warren R. Austin, American delegate to the Security Council, faced the head of the Red China delegation with the question: "Will there be peace or war in the Far East?" Austin warnd that the Korean War would spread to "neigh boring areas" unless Peking obeyed a UN resolution ordering WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (UP) President Truman will ask Congress for an emergency appropriation of about SI, 000,000, OOCPIo expand production of atomic bombs at the fastest possible rate. Congressional sources disclosed tonight. withdrawal of it3 troops. But the head of the Communist delega tion, Gen. Wu Hsui-Chuan, struck back with the charge that "the United States government is systematically building up a military encirclement of China for further attacks on the Chinese people's government (Communist) and for stirring up a third world war." .The flat-faced Chinese Communist said that the Chinese people were "volunteering in great numbers" to fight in Korea. "The Chinese people's government," he said, "sees no reason whatsoever to prevent their departure to volunteer in Korea for the great liberation struggle against U. S. aggression." Wu then demanded the UN take "effective sanctions" against the United States and force its withdrawal from Formosa and Korea "and leave the people of North and South Korea to settle their domestic affairs for themselves." The Security Council met against the grim backdrop of "an entirely new war" in Korea, because of the intervention of 200, 000 Chinese Communists which have torn huge and critical holes in the allied lines. Wu started his maiden speech by saying he would not discuss the other agenda items, coupled with Formosa, because it was. titled "aggression against the Republic of Korea" rather than American aggression against Korea. But he repeatedly alluded to the Korean conflict. In his hour and 40 minute speech, Wu said: "The U. S. is carrying the flames of war to China according to its plans. This is extending the Korean War. The Chinese peo ple have consistently supported all proposals for a peaceful settle ment of the Korean War but the Korean War has been extended and security in the Pacific has been shattered." ""Austin's charge of "aggression" by Peking marked the first time that extreme diplomatic term had been used by the U. S. in the UN to characterize Chinese Communist intervention in Korea. Austin stressed that previous reluctance had been swept away by Gen. Douglas MacArthur's report of mass Chinese Com munist attacks against the caving UN lines in Korea. Austin served notice he was ready to keep the Council meet ing all night, if necessary, to get a vote on a six-power resolution of Nov. 10 calling on Peking to pull its troops out of Korea. But at 6:07 p.m. the Council adjourned until tomorrow. U.S. Seeks Quick Way To Halt Far East Reds WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (A) and at other danger spots all along The U. S. Government, shocked and spurred to fresh action by the grave turn of events in Korea, today sought urgent measures to halt the Red tide in the Far East t 19th Year Landmark North Carolinians: John Motley Morehead, eminent industrialist, chemist, and former minister to Sweden, and the late Rufus Le noir Patterson, who . achieved ; distinction as an inventor and to bacco manufacturer. Two years ago Mr. Moorehead also gave the University the handsome More head Building, Planetarium and Art-Gallery. The master bellringer and the apprentice bellringer are honor ary positions. A 'special commit tee chosen by Dr. Glen Haydon, head of the Department of Music in-the University, looks over the list of music majors and selects a small number of men to "au (See TOWER, page 4) Reds On r Started Off ensive UN Crisis the Iron Curtain.' There were plain indications of official concern that a third world war could be .developing and that the threat might not be con fined to Korea. On Capitol Hill, some voices were raised in favor of using the atom bomb against the onsurging Chinese Communists. President Truman met (3 p.m., EST) with the National Security Council, the' government's top policy-making agency in matters affecting the country's safety. Secretary of Defense Marshall, after conferring earlier with Mr. Truman, said the free world is faced with "a' very critical situa tion" which the United Nations ! must resolutely face up to." Marshall told the National Wo men's Press Club that the serious ness of the situation lies not so much in the Korean ground fight ing as in the effect of the Chinese Red attack on the world situation. Congressional leaders likewise voiced deepest concern over the far eastern crisis. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said it may force Congress to stay in ses sion through Christmas. Leaders had hoped the "lame duck" ses sion which opened yesterday could end in about three weeks.

"Consequently we face an en tirely new war," the supreme commander proclaimed. He checked the problem too big to be solved at Far Eastern headquarters to the United Na tions at Lake Success, asked for instructions, and urgently sum moned his field commanders to map plans to save the Allies from disaster in North Korea. Informed sources said Mac Arthur sought authority, if th diplomats cannot talk the Chinese Communists out of Korea, to un leash his bombers against Chinese bases now '"within the privileged sanctuary north of the interna tional boundary." High military and diplomatic of ficials in Tokyo and Seoul agreed grimly that air attacks on Red China, linked by a mutual defense pact with Russia, might kindle a flame that would flare into a vast conflict. Topmost Allied commander:; conferred far into the night at Tokyo headquarters in the emer gency conference summoned by MacArthur. Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker, Commander of the U. S. 8th Army, broke' away from his army's desperate defensive battle to attend. Maj. Gen. Edward M. Almond, Commander in northeast Korea where the Chinese also had struck, was on hand. While the generals talked, the Chinese soldiers flooded through a widening gap torn in the 8th Army's right flank toward a link up with two Communist divisions regrouped behind the .shattered Allied central front. They were within 20 miles of a junction. One or two regiments wheeled westward to drive on the 8th Army's right flank, threatening to encircle the American, South Ko rean, and other Allied divisions reeling from the jolt of the Com munist counter-offensive. Plants Start, East Digs Out From Snow By United Press The industrial East dug out from under mountainous snows and storm debris Tuesday and factory chimneys began to smoke again. Major industrial plants in Ohio resumed operation for the first time since the big weekend storm, and food shortages and black market threats vanished. Heavily-industrial Pennsylvania was having a harder time remov ing a 29-inch snow blanket and officials expected it would be the end of the veek before all fac tories were back to normal. Along the Atlantic seabord. an army of workers labored to repair .thousands of telephone and power line breaks which had all but blacked out the area. A United Press survey showed at least 279 deaths attributed to the storm and cold weather in the U. S. and Canada. Damage esti mates rose to $200,000,000 and some experts believed the final figure would .total 5400,000.000. Di Meeting The Dialectic Senate held its final meeting of the fall quarter Monday night. Kenneth Penegar was sworn in as a new member and new officers were elected for the winter quarter. Officers elected were: Toby Selby, president; David Wood ruff, president pro-tern; Ed Smiih. clerk; Waller Tice, critic; Joe Clark, sgi.-c-arms, and Bob Clampiit, chaplain. The. new officers will be in augurated Jan. 8. 1951.
