Jan. 10 (;P) Young men who cannot com plete the task of enlisting in the Navy or Air Force because of jammed training facilities won't be deferred from the draft. Col. T. H. Upton, state director of Selective Service, said today. Upton was asked if Air Force or Navy volunteers would be deferred if they presented a statement from recruiting offi cers to their draft board 'thai they had completed their pro cessing and their actual enlist ment was held up because of lack of training facilities. , "No." said Upton. "We are not going to defer action for anything like that." the current 21 months to 27, brought immediate sharp ques tioning frpm members of a Sen ate Armed Forces Sub-Committee. As sketched by Marshall and filled in by Mrs. Rosenberg, the system would work like this re garding education: Students usually would be de ferred to graduate from ,high school or finish a college year. For the first three years of the plan, 75,000 a year would be de ferred for study in medicine, the sciences and other needed spec ialties, but they would get their four months basic training' first and would "owe 23 months ser vice." The Navy's officer training pro gram in civilian colleges would be expanded to cover the other .services. Youths selected for this would get basic training first, then tin to college. After gradua tion they would owe 23 months f rfthe services themselves would 5encf another 50,000 on active duty fo colleges and universities for the first three years, for train ing that would help the military. Eligible men studying medi cine, sciences and other special ties would be deferred upon graduation in sufficient numbers to meet civilian requirements.

Project Chairman Kenneth Putnam declared that work on all of the 180 cement markers will go ahead as quickly as cap tains of the four divisions of town can proceed. Nearly all of the five-foot shafts have been placed in the ground and painted, and are complete except for stenciling of street names and block numbers. Town authorities have direct ed the Jaycees to proceed in painting the names of all streets on markers, as the streets are now 'named. Since a Mayor'siv mittee is now reviewing and con sidering changing the names of some streets, the work had been held up for a while. The Town of Chapel Hill has purchased a stencil-brush letter ing outfit to paint names on the markers, which will remain as a permanent part of the munici pality's equipment after Jaycees complete their project.

Goal Is American" Citizenship Yugoslavian Communist By Mark Waters "The propaganda put out by the Communist Party in Yugo slavia is ridiculous," says a Yu goslavian DP, now a student here. Anton Jurccic, from Mrasevo, Yugoslavia,' said "it is incredi ble that some educated people be lieve Communist propaganda. Jurecic entered Carolina this V-,- t r r .4 ouarter under ruDiic jw i.-., which places mspiaceu in American schools. He says that the propaganda in his country rli retted solely against the j capitalistic countries.

The planes have never "been used in combat. If they go into action ,in strength, it will be the first direct challenge to the Al lied air arm in the more than six - TTnonthsr of fighting: Intelligence said the planes probably were located at bases in Manchuria. The tanks were massed near Seoul. Presumably the planes as well as the tanks were Russian-built. The American column that bat tled back into the key road and rail center of Wonju through small arms and mortar fire found it empty of Reds. The Reds threw in counter attacks but a report from Eighth Army headquarters at 3:55 a.m. (1:55 p.m. Wednesday, EST), said there was nothing to indicate the city had fallen again to the en emy. 8th Army Is New Censor TOKYO, Jan. 10 (JP) All news of United Nations ground fighting in Korea will go under the control of U.S. Eighth Army headquarters tomorrow.

DP Here Ridicules Homeland Propaganda Jurecic declared his goal now J urecic is glad his country broke is to become an American eiti- with Russia, he says Tito's gov zen. "I want to spend my life in j ernmental regimentation of the the United States if I possibly; people is just as bad. At least, it can," he said. "I like the people here. They are all so busy, so sure of them selves, so full of spirit." "The women here are so much better dressed than those in Eu rope; there is.no comparison. As for looks, I can't say that as a group one is more beautiful than the other. I have seen pretty girls and homely girls here and in Europe." When asked why Tito broke with USSR, Jurecic said that Tito considers himself a pure Marxist while Stalin's form of Commu nism is something else. While - SP Completes Reorganizing Of Old Policy Two New Offices Have Been Set Up For Better Group By Paul Barwick Student Party officials yester-: day worked out final details on a reorganization program which was ad do ted by the party Mon day night. " ; John Harris, who presented the plan to the party, said the new program is designed to bring about "an even better Student Party by making distinct some of the party policies and setting up two new offices to help carry out the party program." A policy and program chair man and a membership chairman are instigated under the new system. The plan calls for the policy and program chairmen to formulate a party policy and work with legislators for passage of legislation in an attempt to improve student government. He will also head the writing of the party platform for the spring elections. Membership requirements are made very clear in a section of the program. It states that a person desiring to become a mem ber of the Student Party must, in one quarter, attend at least three meetings, two of which must be consecutive. After meeting these require ments he miy request his name to be placed on the party roll. Those who . receive SP endorse ment for any office are entitled to membership if they so desire. However, they must request membership. John Vincent was elected to serve as treasurer of the party Monday night. Vincent, a sopho more, has " been an active party member since enrolling in the University. Four members at large, Jo King, Jim Lamm, Pat Bowie and Gene Cooke, have been elected to serve on the Execu tive Committee. Bloodmobile Plans Trip Here Jan. 25 An American Red Cross Blood mobile will be here on Jan. 25 and 26 under sponsorship of the local Red Cross Chapter, as a part of the current national blood for defense, program for U.S. troops in Korea. A quota of 400 pints has been 'assigned Chapel Hill.. Chapter Chairman fc. H. Wtttach said it would take about 575 persons including those who may be re jectedto fill this quota during the two days. All blood donated will be pack ed in ice and processed for im mediate flight to the west-coast was when he was there, he added. "Children are taken from their homes between the ages of two to five and put in state dormi tories for schooling. They are al lowed to go home only on week ends." ; The official party in Yugoslavia is called the Liberation Party. Jurecic laughed and said, "Don't ask me from what it liberates people." He doesn't miss any particular foods of his homeland, but likes our dishes, "especially your de-. licious fruits," he said, smacking his lips as if imagining a tasty treat. vac aocie Shoot Legislature To Hear Sanders In 'State Of The Campus Talk A "State of the Campus" ad - dress by Student Body President John Sanders will highlight the first meeting of the 10th Assem bly of the Student Legislature tonight at 7:30 in New West's Di Hall. Sanders is expected to stress the effects of the current national emergency on the University and to discuss prospects for the future. An explanation will be made to the Legislature of the actions of the executive to date and also of plans for coping with the prob lems arising out of the emerg ency. Finances and problems now confronting student government, the Honor System, fraternities, and student morale are all in for a going over by Sanders. At the same time, Secretary Treasurer Banks Talley will speak to the solons on student govern ment financial difficulties re sulting from the recent enroll ment drop and will propose ac tion to be taken by the Legisla ture to further cut expenditures and avoid a deficit at. the end of Jhe yean If Talley proposes still further cuts in the amount received per annum by these and other organi zations under the Block Fee Sys tem, it will mean still more corner-cutting in the attempt to keep student finances out of the red. With more students dropping out of school because of the Se lective Service and to enlist, the Block Fee System may be in for a total revamping. and trans-shipment to Korea within a week. The unit, to operate six hours both days, will be set up in the Main Lounge and Horace Wil liams Loung of Graham. Memori al. Chairman Wettach stated that about 40 volunteers from here will be required to help the Red Cross staff of about six run the program. Women and men alike can help, he pointed out, as receptionists, typists, clerks, and general assis tants. Persons willing to volun teer for this work should see Mrs. Mabel Brittain, chapter secretary, in 106 Alumni Hall, or telephone the office, 5672. Graduate nurses are especially needed. "The Red Cross is entirely re sponsible for our armed forces' blood," Wettach pointed out. "The recent Korean crisis has brought a great increase in the call for blood, 'and made it necessary to expand the drive." Donors must be between 21 and 60, and a thorough physical check is made before anyone is allowed to give any blood. Following the process, which takes about five minutes for a pint, each person is given some refreshments, and must take a short rest. Wettach emphasized the entire process is completely painless, as a local anaesthetic is given in the arm.

In Chapel Hill: Second Suit Is Pushed Against School Board GREENSBORO, Jan. 10 (TP) A second suit charging discrim ination against Negro school children in North Carolina is now on file in Middle District Court. Action was entered in, the clerk's office here yesterday by Negro fathers of the Chapel Hill community naming as defendants the Board of Trustees of ChaDel v i Hill graded schools, Superintend- ent C. W. Davis, the State Board of Education, and Clyde A. Er win, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The complaint charges that while white schools have ade quate lunchroom facilities, gym nasium and auditorium facilities, no such facilities are available to Negro children m the school maintained for Negroes. Similar charges have been brought into court, with action directed toward the State Board of Education and school officials Men s n t members. The progress of the study of the Honor System and judiciary now being carried on will also come up for discussion. Negro Pastor Requests Aid From Group Students could use their know ledge to help the Negro residents of Chapel Hill, Rev. David Bos ton, pastor of the local AME church, advised. Students for Democratic action Tuesday night. Citing recreation as the first of four possible areas where stu dents could help improve race relations, the local pastor point ed out "that supervision and dir ection are needed to make the community center yield its broad est benefits to the people. Rev. Boston described the Neg ro recreation center as being one of the finest of its kind in this area of the state. Absence of trained personnel to direct play programs within the community, he continued, prevents the full est, utilization of available facil ities. "The fact that many people here need clothing should not be overlooked in clothing collec tion efforts," ho said. Besides gen eral welfare programs, students could also aid by providing night school instruction, part time lib- rary services, and assistance in community works projects. Members of the SDA chapter discussed the recommendations with the Rev. Roston before re ferring the proposals to its ex ecutive committee for further study. of Durham, but Judge Johnson J. Hayes, who presided at the trial, has not yet handed down a decision in the matter. The legal action today is said to have grown out of a mass meet ing of Negroes at Chapel Hill last fall. Members of the Chapel Hill Council on Negro Affairs said that part of the reason for the move was that a gymnasium-auditorium wing was being left off the new 235,000 Lincoln Negro High School. The complaint charged further that vocational and other essen tial courses, provided for white children, are not available for Ne gro students. It said that the general con struction, maintenance and ap pearance of schools for white stu dents are "patently and notor iously superior" to that of Negro schools. Dorms Victory Village At Capacity Despite Drop Few Men Moving To Frat Houses; Draft Gets Many By Edd Davi With a new 448-man dormi tory now under construction, more than 300 vacancies in the present dormitory system have suddenly resulted due to the national emergency, ac cording to a check made yes terday with James Wads worth, University Housing director. Most of these vacancies are the result of students leaving fur the armed services, according to Wadsworth, and occurred mostly during the winter holidays. However, many of the newer vacancies now existing are the result of many fraternity men moving into their chapter houses, Wadsworth added. "About 100 vacancies have oc curred each day for the last two days, but the trend is expected to fall off sharply before the end of the week, he added. The vacancies now existing in the 3000-man University dormi tory system, are the largest, num ber since the construction of "A" and "C" dormitories, Wadsworth pointed out. The new H-type dormitory be ing erected near the Monogram Club was aimed at easing the drastic housing shortage created by the overflow of new students at the beginning of thp fall quar ter. Whereas all available space was filled to over-capacity in the last quarter, Nash Hall is now completely empty, and many three-man rooms in oth'er ' build ings have only one or two oc cupants. The situation in Victory Village has not changed as has the dormi tory picture. The Village still re mains fully occupied with almost no one lpaving that area. Wadsworth pointr-d out that late in the winter quarter and at the beginning of the spring quar ter some vacancies will undoubt edly exist in Victory Village. Most of these vacancies will be directly resultant from the law and thesis students completing their work at the University, he said. The few vacancies that will ex ist probably will be from reserv ists being called back to ;r1ive duty, since the Village is occupi ed mostly by veterans ami tin ir families. There arc a few who have al ready left, but their families ;-jJI remain temporarily until arrange ments for the moving of personal belongings arc completed, Wads worth said. Lewis Dies ROME.
