Atomic Bomb
Will Be Used
If Necessary
Compiled from Daily Tar Heel Wires
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y.,
Nov. 30 A Russian Security
Council veto tonight blocked
an order to Corhmunist China
to get out of Korea.
It came less than seven
hours after President Truman
warned the Reds that the United
States would use the atomic bomb
if necessary to put down Chinese
Red aggression in Korea.
Immediately after the Presi
dent's announcement, Gen. Doug
las Mac Arthur's bomber command
announced from Tokyo it is pre
pared to use the A-bomb "within
hours" after any "last. resort" de
cision. The Russian veto in the Se
curiy Council opened the way for
the West to seek action in the
veto-free General Assembly.
But the announcement that
British . Prime Minister Clement
Attlee is flying to Washington to
confer with President Truman on
the grave Far East crisis tempor
arily held up the formal move for
Assembly action.
This week. Gen. MacArthur said
the Chinese Red intervention had
brought an "entirely new war."
The President added to his
blunt announcement about possi
ble A-bomb use that he "pray
erfully" hopes that it won't come
to that.
He made the announcement ai
his morning news conference in
Washington.
From Tokyo tcame this United
Press statement: "The President's
statement notched up the tension
here three hours away from re
taliation. Tokyo Army Head
quarters only yesterday issued
air raid instructions to Americans
here.
"Most ground force command
ers in Korea doubt that even the
A-bomb would stop the Chinese
invasion."
Other events which occurred
today as a result of the interna
tional situation:
In Moscow, the United States
and British ambassadors an
nounced they were leaving im
mediately for "vacation" leaves at
home and "probably" consulta
tions with' their governments.
And in Washington, W. Stuart
Symington, Chairman of the Na
tional Security Resources Board,
predicted today all elements of
the economy will be hurt in an
impending -speedup of mobiliza
tion. Casualties
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (P)
Total announced American
casualties in the Korean war
mounted to 31.028 today. A sin
gle week's combat added L032

Top New York Court Affirms
Anti-Communist Teacher Bill
ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 30 (P)

Highway Bids OK'd
Despite $ Shortage
Special to The Daily Tar Heel
RALEIGH, Nov. 30 A $300,000 shortage isn't going to"
hold up initial construction on the new Durham-Chapel Hill
highway after all.
The State Highway Commission today approved bids on
the new project. The group was
holding its weekly meeting here.!
They approved low bids totaling
$688,830.40 only $500,0000 has
been appropriated on the rec
ommendation of W. H. Rogers,
i chief engineer for the group.
Rogers previously had ex
pressed the idea that the group
would not act until more funds
were made available.
Dr. Henry W. Jordan, chairman
of the Commission, laughed and
told the assembled group:
"Durham residents were most
interested in the project and had
become a little concerned when
it was disclosed that additional
funds must be obtained before
construction is started."
The Durham Chamber of Com
merce instigated the idea many
years ago and since has continu
ally plugged it. The $500,000 was
appropriated during the adminis
tration of Gov. R. Gregg Cherry.
When completed, the road
would trim about four miles from
the present route. It probably
will be completed next fall.
Plans call for grading and
structures for a two-lane high
way under the project approved
nHav Later, one lane will be
paved and eventually the sec
ond lane will be paved when
funds are made available.
Recently in Chapel Hill, Grady
Pritchard, speaking as a member
of the Kiwanis Club, suggested
that the erection of businesses and
commercial signs along the high
way be regulated. - .
Pritchard's move is designed
to prevent obstructions to the
view of motorists.
Field Worker Will Visit

Meager Crew Appears
For Virginia Pep Rally
By Joe Cherry
School spirit came in small
doses yesterday afternoon, but the
meager crowd of- 150 students
which made the march with the
band from the Y Court to Navy
Field to cheer the Tar Heel foot
ball team turned in one of the
finest demonstrations of Carolina
spirit seen this season.
It was the first rally to be held
on the practice field this year,
although a similar demonstration
was staged on Navy Field before
of students, technicians, profes
sors, and specialists between the
United States and over 60 foreign
countries.
The Institute is the central
agency handling the exchange
and is dealing with some 3,000
people this year who are doing
advanced study in countries other
than their own.
The object of such field trips
as Miss Parseghian is now mak
ing is to enable members of the
Institute staff to keep in direct
and personal contact with the
students.
To
Appeals, wrote, "we find in that
statute no restriction which ex
ceeds the Legislature's constitu
tional power."
' The law was enacted last year
by the Republican-controlled
Legislature and signed by Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey. It bans from
employment in the public school
system members of any 'organiza
tion deemed subversive by the
Board of Regents, governing body
of the state's educational system.
The law's preamble refers to
the Communist Party as an advo
cate of violent overthrow of the
government.
Under the law, the Board of
Regents is required to list organ
izations it considers subversive
and to take steps to ban members
of such groups from school jobs.
The Court of Appeals opinion
affirmed decisions of last Feb
ruary by two departments of the
appellate division of the state Su
preme Court holding the law-constitutional.
The law had been declared un
constitutional late last fall by two
state Supreme Court justices in
two separate actions.
Judge Lewis wrote in part:
"When in its judgment and
discretion the Legislature finds
acts by public employes which
threaten the integrity and com
petency of a governmental ser
vice such as the public school
system, legislation adequate to
maintain the usefulness of the
service affected is necessary to
forestall such danger."
"Under the statute, no organi
zation may be listed by he Board
of Regents as subversive until
'after inquiry, and after such
notices and hearing as may be
appropriate.' "
last year's Notre Dame game.
After, assembling at the Y, the
crowd followed the Carolina band
and Joe Chambliss and his cheer
leading squad down to Navy Field
where the footballers were work
ing long and hard in preparation
for the traditional clash with the
Cavaliers.
Chambliss sandwiched Carolina
cheers between the singing of
fight songs, with the small gath
ering making a good account of
itself in the noise department.
Before the rally ended with the
singing of "Hark the Sound" an
appeal was made for students to
make contributions to a fund to
pay for the printing of the "TS"
cards distributed on the Duke
campus before last Saturday's
game with the Blue Devils.
Harvie Ritch, who handled the
job of getting the cards printed
and distributed, stands to lose a
sizable amount of money unless
the student body chips in and
helps him settle the account.
A large delegation of Carolina
students are planning to make the
trip to Charlottesville this week
end for the game. Plenty of spon
taneous pep rallies are expected
when the Carolinians invade the
Old Dominion and a big organized
rally is scheduled to take place
Saturday morning before the
game.

Mauled Unit
Gets To Line
Of 8th Army
TOKYO, Friday, Dec. 1
(UP) The mauled American
2nd Division has blasted its
way out of a Chinese Com
munist encirclement and re
joined the U. S. Eighth Army
massing on a new defense
line before Pyongyang, Ut was an
nounced', today.
Advanced headquarters of the
8th Army confirmed field reports
that the 2nd Division had es
caped a Chinese trap after a gal
lant rear guard action covering
the Allied retreat from the aban
doned Chongchon River line.
Maj. Gen. Laurence B. Keiser's
division fought a bloody way
through a Communist road block
south of Kunu, the Chongchon
bastion where the Yanks held off
the enemy while the menaced
Army fell back to thwart Chi
nese flanking maneuver.
An 8th Army spokesman said
he had no estimates of .the 2nd's
loses, but feared that much of its
equipment had to be abandoned.
He said the withdrawing Allied
forces generally had reached their
new defense line which runs from
25 to 35 miles around Pyongyang,
the former Communist capital.
They had retreated-some 20 miles.
The only enemy attacks during
the night were small, isolated ac
tions, the spokesman reported.
Field dispatches said the battle
for Pyongyang and for the life
of the American Allied defenders
already was shaping up. The
U. S. 1st Cavalry Division fought
the first battle on the critical
flank northeast of Pyongyang,
where the Chinese vanguard was
within 25 miles of the city.
The 2nd Division was one of
two, plus two Infantry regi
ments, surrounded by the surge
through North Korea of a Chi
nese Communist Army now re
ported officially to number 300,
000. The U. S. 1st Marine Division
and two Regiments of the
American 7th Infantry Division
were trapped on the frosty shores
of the Chosin Reservoir in north
east Korea.
United Press Correspondent
Glen Stackhouse reported from
the 1st Corps area early today
that a 2nd Division regiment gave
up Kunu.
Surprised At 'Maturity
French Student Ends Visit Here;
Studied College Customs, Influence
By Barrett Boulwere
Yean Pierre Hadengue, a 22-year-old
student from France,
who holds a Master's degree from
the Sorbonne in history, geogra
phy, and law, has finished a three
day visit here to see what makes
the American student tick and
how his thinking influences this
country's policies.
Yean, who arrived in the U. S.
a month ago on a 10-month tour
arranged by the National Federa
tion of Catholic Students in
France, plans to do a dissertation
on his observations of the Ameri
can university world and its in

student Herb Mitchell tonight
lost the race for the presidency
of the Senate of the 14th annual
State Student Legislature to the
first Negr6 ever to be elected to a
major office in the mock colle
giate General Assembly.
Mitchell was defeated by Wil

The only North Carolina stu
dent to receive an office of prom

sentatives. Martin Cromartie of Duke Uni
versity, a veteran of past legisla
tures, wras named speaker of the
House. Chosen as president pro

Hear Of New Need
What can be done in, for, or
by Chapel Hill citizens in 1951?
Dr. Sylvester Green, who was
in Charge of the Chapel Hill Ro
tary Club program at this week's
meeting, posed the questioij.
He asked that the answers be
given by Tom Rose, town man
ager; Roy Homewood, contractor;
Collier Cobb, Jr.,- chairman of
the University's building commit
tee, and Wilbur Kutz, immediate
past president of the Chapel Hill
Merchants Association. N
One of the town's biggest needs
now is for a tax map, said Man
ager Rose, who is convinced that
such a map would bring to light
much property not now listed.
Homewood said some of the
most pressing needs are for the
widening of Rosemary street,
paved sidewalks in many of the
residential sections, and wider in
tersections. Plans are being de
lumbia, Fordham, and George
Washington. He plans to make a
trip to California during which
he expects to see as much of
the country as possible.
This is his first trip to the
South.
To the question, "Do you have
more trouble understanding Nor
thern or Southern students?" he
shrugged his shoulders and an
swered: "I have trouble under
standing all of them because they
speak slang."
He is scheduled to deliver a
series of 10 lectures in English at
Harvard this month on French
policy since World War I.
Tentative arrangements also
have been made to have him de

veloped to meet these needs, he
said.
Cobb said there has -bcen a
sharp increase in building costs
as a result of the Korean war, but
"Chapel Hillians should feel ex
tremely fortunate in that approxi
mately 85 per cent f the $19,000,
000 building program provided
for by the last two Legislatures
has been completed or is under
contract."
The contract for the addition
to Venable Hall, the chemistry
building, involving a cost of $900,
000, is to be let in January, he
said. He thought the additional
money needed to begin work of
the new highway between Chapel
Hill and Durham would be found.
The State allocation did not meet
the costs in the low bids recently.
Kutz expressed the view that
the University and town must
go up or down together."
tDr. K. C. Frazer of the Political
j Science Department, said yester
day.
Speaking of the Catholic stu
dents in Paris, Yean mentioned
as one of their most important
manifestations, an annual trip to
the Chartres Cathedral. "A week
before exams around 8,000 stu
dents walk and pray 60 miles to
the cathedral," he said.
He described his opinion of the
American student thus far as one
of surprise that vacilated between
disappointment and admiration.
"On one hand some of the stu
dents seem to have a young mind,
and on the other hand I am sur
prised to find so many who have
a mature outlook."
