University President. Gordon Gray put himself on record

1 the North Carolina
stitute at a luncheon at the Caro-
lina Inn, Gray also said that the
United States should not consider
withdrawing to this hemisphere
"unless all else fails." He listed
four goals that the United States
should strive for in order'to keep
the peace.
Gray said that he was "quite
aware" of the drift in the minds
of people today toward passively
accepting the only solution to
world 'problems asa military one.
He termed this tendency "very
dangerous."
"For my own part, I am not
ready to make that assumption
myself," the formed Secretary of
the Army said. But, he empha
sized, this view does not put him
against the course now being
taken in Washington.
To put ourselves on equal terms
with the Russians by building up
our military might may enable us
to talk peace "in the only terms
those men in the Kremlin are able
to understand," he said

'Brand Reds'
In Resolution
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, (JP)
An aroused House of Repre
sentatives shouted approval today
of a resolution urging the United
Nations to brand Red China as
an aggressor in Korea.
In a terse 28 words, the resolu
tion declared:
"Resolved, that it is the sense
of the House of Representatives
that the United Nations should
immediately act and declare the
Chinese Communist y authorities
an aggressor in Korea."
Only a few "no" votes were
audible as the members apprpved
the policy statement by a voice
vote. '
In the brief pre-vote debate,
however, some Republicans con
tended the resolution was tanta
mount to a declaration of war on
the Chinese Communists.
However, Rep. Martin of Mas
sachusetts, the Republican leader,
said he did not construe it that
way.

United Nations forces stabbed
deep inside Red lines on three
frozen sectors of the Korean front

by tanks, reoccupied Wonju on
the central front Friday without
opposition. The battered key rail

abandoned by the U. S.' Second

About 10,000 Allied troops
jumped off across the snowbound
east-central front Friday near
Yongwol, 30 miles southeast of
Wonju, and, with airpower help,
killed an estimated 1,000 North
Korean Reds.
On the western front, where a
marauding band of tank-supported
doughboys has been harassing
Red lines all week, brief skir
mishes were reported near psan,
28 miles southeast of Seoul.
Small, sharp patrol fights flared
at many points along the Korean

they are damn good and ready."

McGrath Says
Students Must
Get Deferment
f Proposes Leaving
: Half Of Frosh, All
Others In Classes
i
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (JP)
Earl J. McGrath, U. S. Commis
sioner - of Education, roused a
storm today with a proposal that
Congress defer from military ser
vice half the college freshmen and
all the sophomores, juniors and
seniors to finish their studies.
McGrath told reporters that the
Senate Preparedness .Subcommit
tee, which gave the proposal a hot
reception, had completely missed
his point.
"I intend to ask to be heard
again, and I believe I can show
them this is not so very much
different from what they already
are considering," McGrath said.
In his testimony, McGrath es
timated the suggested deferments
would apply to about 836,000.
Of this number, he figured in
a later statement, 500,000 are in
reserve officers' training, are
draft exempt or are physically un
fit, leaving 336,000 who he says
should be allowed to complete
their college studies if at all pos
sible before entering the armed
forces.
Senator Chapman (D-Ky) asked
McGrath whether he wasn't pro
posing something like "a pseudo
aristocracy of intelligence" which
would "bring down on that fa
vored class the maledictions of
those not in that class."
Senator Johnson asked Mc
Grath, "Where are we going to
get our army if we do that?" Mc
Grath said he could not under
stand how the draft age man
power pool should be so small.

Compiled From Wire Services of The' Daily Tar Heel
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 Defense Secretary George C. Marshall today announced a
new enlistment policy for draft age college students under which they will be given a chance
to choose the service they want to join. -
Students now will be permitted to enlist in the service of their choice in a period start
ing 90 days before the end of the school year and ending 30 days before graduation. They
will be allowed to finish the school year before being inducted.
Under the old regulations, the armed services could not accept a voluntary enlistment
from a man who had received notice to report for a pre-induction physical examination.
Students now may enlist after receiving the notice.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (UP) Adm. Forrest P. Sherm
an, Chief of Naval Operations, said today the present military
manpower goal 3,462,000 men and women probably will
have to be raised again before it is reached.
"I believe that unless international conditions improve, we
may well have to. set a new tar
get as we approach this target,"
he told the Senate Preparedness
Committee.
The Defense Department plans
to have 3,462,000 soldiers, sailors,
marines and airmen -in' service
"as soon as possible" after June
30, 195i: Sherman told the Com
mittee he considers this a . "very
useful first objective."
Sherman appeared before the
Committee to endorse the admin
istration's .universal military
training and service bill based on
a proposal to draft 18-year-olds
for 27 months of service. Other
top military leaders are to testify
later. t
Sherman said the bill would
provide the force needed now
plus "badly needed" reserves" that
could be mobilized in case of all
out war.
The Navy, he explained, will
continue to base its recruiting on
voluntary enlistments as far as
possible. - '
Dr. R. L. McMillan, Bowman
Gray School of Medicine, will

frozen bodies of eight American's
and one South Korean who ap

their North Korean captors.
"I would say It is definitely a
case of a war atrocity," said .Lt.

Calif., a Division surgeon.
Newsom said the men had been
killed with a Russian "burp gun,"
a small caliber submachine gun.
All had suffered many wounds,
and two bodies showed signs of
severe beating about the head.
All the murdered men had been
shot in the head. , "There was
every evidence -that they were
shot at close range," Newsom
said.

The new order permits them to

college year before signifying
their choice. Specifically, the ser
vices will accept enlistments in
the two months prior to the final
month of the term. Therf the en
listees will not be called until the

The rule is effective immedi
