' On Thursday of this week.

Weather, t errain Slow Seoul Drive TOKYO, Saturday. Feb. 3 (UP) Allied troops, fighting in bitter cold, repelled Chinese counterattacks today and drove within eight miles of Seoul over battlefields piled with enemy dead. TOKYO,. Saturday, Feb. 3 (JP) The United Nations offensive towards Seoul ground forward a half-rhile Friday in the smallest day's advance of the nine-day-old Allied push. A heavy fog and difficult ter rain slowed the Allies more than did the spotty Chinese and North Korean resistance along the 50 mile front, field dispatches said. A tank-led spearhead pushed to undisclosed points north of An yang, which is eight and one-half miles, south of Seoul.

Do you think you should have your own radiation de tector? Would you like an asbestos line flash suit to carry around with you, just in case? Maybe you'd be in the mar ket for a lead girdle designed to protect your spleen from radiation. Or are you prepared to shave all the hair off your dog in the event Fido is around when : an A-bomb goes off? The : Federal Civil Defense Administration doesn't say that you shouldn't. But it does Blood Donors Eicceed Quota Of Red Cross 529 Pints Given In Two-Day Stay Of Bloodmobile By Walt Dear The Red Cross quota of 400 pints of blood for , the two-day Bloodmobile unit stay was topped with a total of 529 pints at the end of the business day yesterday ' evening. The mixup of quotas and num ber of donors for the blood drive was clarified last night by Rob ert Schenkkan, commanding offi cer of the local volunteer Naval Reserve Research unit which was in charge of recruitment of vol unteers. . Shenkkan explained that it was necessary to raise the quota of registered volunteers (not the quota of pints) because such a large number of stucjents, faculty, and townspeople had registered. "The results as released by the unit are excellent," Shenkkan said. lie pointed out that the Red Cross expects some volunteers to be. rejected and others not to make their appointments. Originally, the quota had been set for 575 registrations. But be cause of the large number and an 80 per cent donation by the Air ROTC, local officials called the Charlotte Bloodmobile sta tion to ask for an extra unit or an extended period. Of the number that contributed, 350 were ' students." Controller William D. Carmichael donated a pint of his blood yesterday, but President Gordon Gray, who was scheduled to make a contribution, was unable to because of out-of-town appointments. Friday two Chinese Red companies- possibly 400 to 500 men counterattacked at a place two and one-half miles south of An yang' and seven miles north of Suwon. This attack was still going on at last reports, but unless the Reds hit with greater force, it seemed unlikely they could cause much damage. Chinese and North Korean troops facing the U.N. spearhead north of Anyang retreated amid a spatter of small-arms fire. Elsewhere along the Korean front, there was little enemy con tact. The Reds seemed to be pulling back from the Allied ar tillery and aerial attacks which had claimed more than 9,000 Com munist casualties since the of fensive began Jan. 25. say such measures are either unnecessary or undesirable. The- ideas listed above are among many which have been suggested seriously to Civil Defense. Officials plead with the public to consult their lo cal civil defense units before taking any A-bomb precau tions. To do so, they insist, may say save you money, and pos sibly save your life. The Civil Defense Adminis tration so far has given ap proval to only one radiation detector the "T-One," devel oped for the Army Signal Corps. The agency isn't com pletely satisfied with that. About a- flash suit: A man U It I S) IT 6 000 Fans 1 Pack Woollen For Thriller Sper, Comic Tilt Add To Typical UNC-Duke Game j By Zane Robbins It was a ioveiy night last night. That ol' Carolina spirit really rocked Woollen Gym as some 6,000 fans cheered and jeered as Carolina thumped , Duke's Blue Devils, 71-68. The Carolina rooters stood be fore the game as Norman Cordon led them in the singing of "Hark the Sound," and then gave the team a rousing cheer as the opening-whistle sounded. Game time . was 8 p.m., , but things didn't get underway until 8: 25 because Referee Arnold Heft was delayed en route here. He and Phil Fox teamed to officiate a good game despite scattered catcalls from both sides of the gym which was crowded with al most as many Duke rooters as Tar Heel fans. Everything was complete when Norm Sper, head cheerleader here from 1948 until 1950, ran onto the , court to assist Allman Bea rhon and Bill' Hogshead in" lead ing the Tar Heel yells. Sper brought the crowd to its f eets as always, and it must've helped because the Carolinians raced on to the floor as the second half began and soon erased ; a 36-31 half-time deficit to go ahead; of the Dukes. . . Half-time ceremonies' faintly resembled a comic opera as a I group ol Tar ieei trainers dorpped a 15-minute clown game to a batch of coaches, called the Pros, by .a 2-1 score. 18-Year Vote Hearing Set A bill proposing an amendment to the state constitution to re ducing the voting age in North Carolina to 18 will go before the Senate Committee on Constitu tional Amendments at a public hearing next Wednesday.

He came to Washington with the plans. Those he talked to said it was a laundry bag con trivance, with a thin asbestos lining, and coated on the out side with aluminum foil to re flect thermal radiatic. His theory was that you carried it with you all the time, and then when the bomb came you jumped in, zipped it up, and you were- safe from flash burns. The spleen-protector lead girdle was suggested by a col- lege professor. The reply was that your other organs ire sus ceptible to radiation damage, too. 0 rsve Overcomes Medical Affairs Students Plan M eeting On Tuition Increase , ; By Edd Davis Student government officials yesterday made plans, for. a meeting of all students in the .

Monkey Business Bonzo No Phi Bete, Psychologists Agree HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 2 (UP) There's a lot of red faces around Universal - International today. They called in two psychologists to give their movie star chimpan zee an I.Q. test and he flunked it cold. Now the ballyhoo boys who've been telling everybody Bonzo's the smartest chimp in the world are gonna have to dig up some new adjectives. Leave us face it Bonzo just ain't no Phi Bete. This is the professional verdict of two young psychologists who came all the way across town from Occidental College to see this wonder ape. They tossed matching blocks at him and set back to wait while he put the vsis, o'clock with student govern ment officials to make the fi nal plans for the mass meeting. Kreps said that possibly more than 50 per cent of the student body of the School of Public Health are from out of state.

Graham Says Labor Crisis Is Easing Up Special to The Daily Tar Heel ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Feb. 2 After sessions day and night for a week as the head of a federal managements-labor board here, ex-Senator Frank P. Graham de clared voluntary agreements be tween , unions and contractors have eased the once crucial labor situation in Alaska. Dr. Graham, who was picked by Interior Secretary Oscar Chap man to head off anticipated strikes in Alaska that might have involved military projects, ar rived here Jan. 26. "The contractors and the union, through voluntary collective bar gaining, have come to agreements with no-strike pledges for the en suing year," the former Univer sity of North Carolina president said. Last year almost half of Alas ka's construction time was lost through strikes. "Agreements are now signed, by labor and management, as a basis, they patriotically declare, for the greatest construction per iod in the history of Alaska," Graham said. Asserting that the purchase of Seward's folly was one of the wisest acts Americans have made, he continued, "Alaska is where east meets west, Is across the straits from the Soviet Union, and must become a bastion of Amer ica's defense of freedom in the world." Since his arrival here, Graham said he has run across "Univer sity of North Carolina graduates of later generations all over the place, in the Army, and the Navy and the Air Force." square pegs in the square holes, etc. Bonzo thought everybody's sud denly gone nuts. He sniffed the blocks . . .he tasted 'em ... he used 'em to scratch his head . . . and then he threw 'em at the bystanders. Hopefully, the two professors, David Cole and Luther Jennings, gave him a peg and some colored rings to fit around it. Bonzo grabbed it gleefully and conked Cole on the head.' The professors gave up. Bonzo may be pretty smart when it comes to stealing scenes from twOrlegged actors, they decided, but he rated a round, flat zero on his I.Q. test. i n I ) AAadcJie, Groat Lead Scorers In Close Game Victory Places UNC With Duke For 8th In Loop By Frank Allston, Jr. Carolina's cagers strength ened their bid for a Southern Conference tournament berth in Woollen Gymnasium last night by coming from behnid to administer a 71-G8 lacing to the Blue Devils of Duke as 6,000 screaming fans voiced their approval. The Tar Heels, trailing by five points at the intermission, 36-31, trotted onto the floor to start the second half with a re juvenated attack which saw the locals tie things un at 42-all with five minutes of play elapsed. After the teams swapped field goals, Carolina went into a lead it never relinquished. Twice dur ing the latter part of the game, the Tar Heels held a ten-point lead, only to see determined Duke drives narrow the margin. The Carolina win moved the Blue and White cagers into an eighth-place conference tie with the Blue Devils. Both now sport a 6-5 win-loss, record. Official Arnie Heft's late arrival held up the game some 25 min uets and averted what could have been an awkward situation. Heft was delayed in the Midwest by a train strike and when it appeared that he could not join Phil Fox for the game, the conference booking commissioner "Footsie" Knight was ready to send Gar land Lof'tis, ex-Duke eager arid present grad student at the Dur ham institution, into the fray. The Washington arbiter arrived on the scene from the airport just as Fox and Loft is were ready to start the contest. Duke's sensational guard, Dick (The Great) Groat put on a breath-taking performance as he pumped in 33 points to walk off with high scoring honors for the night. Tar Heel Sophomore Con fer Bud Maddie hit for 24 points to lead the Carolina cause. Groat, who fouled out with two (See MADDIE, page 3) CPU To Hear I. G. Greer Dr. I. G.
