WASHINGTON The Army has
unveiled a new 85-ton atomic
gun and shown that it can roll
nimbly across fields into position
to fire super-explosive barrages
within 20 minutes. The gun, which
is the world's first atomic artil
lery piece, was put through its
paces at a special preview at the
Aberdeen, Md., Proving Grounds
recently.
There was talk at the demdn
stration of a 20-mile range for
the 280 millimeter weapon. This
discloses how compactly the
Atomic Energy Commission
scientists now are able to build
atomic missiles which at one time
could barely be crowded into the
bomb bay of a B-29. 1
ABOARD TRUMAN TRAIN
President Truman accused Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday
of having endangered the country
as commanding general in Europe
by grave "blunders" which left
America unaware of Russia's
threat to world peace. Meanwhile
the GOP hit back quickly at Pres
ident Truman for charging that
Gen. Eisenhower's 1945 advice
"did a great deal of harm." Sen.
John M. Butler (R-Md) recalled
that Mr. Truman had told a
whistle-stop crowd at Eugene.
Ore., on June 11, 1948: "I got
very well acquainted with Joe
Stalin and I like old Joer he is
a decent fellow."
SEOUL A highly placed U. S.
Eighth Army officer said yester
day there are several thousand
Russian troops in rear areas of
North Korea serving in a "support
capacity." c . ? u
The officer, who was not iden
tified, said In an interview that
the Russians were technicians and
advisors and probably .manned
modern radar-controlled anti
aircraft guns manufactured in the
Soviet Union.
WASHINGTON Gen. Walter
Bedell Smith said yesterday he
cannot understand "why anyone
should get excited" about his
statement that there probably are
some Communists in the Central
Intelligence Agency. The CIA
director, who unwittingly tossed
a bombshell into the political
campaign Monday, sought to calm
the furor by assuring the public
that any Reds who mayhave in
filtrated his agency aie in minor
jobs where they cannot do any
"serious harm."
HILLSBORO Nine of the 10
prisoners who escaped from the
Orange County prison camp Sun
day night were still at large yes
terday afternoon. State and county
police continued to comb Orange
County in search for th eremain
ing fugitives. Howard D. Long,
29, surrendered peacefully Mon
day night, quietly joining a work
detail returning to the camp. He
had been sentenced to five to
seven years for highway robbery
from Guilford County in April,
1950.

A Trust Position
Dick Nixon
Named To
Demo Post
Richard Nixon was elected
treasurer of the Young Demo
cratic Club here this week.
But this Dick Nixon is not
the one of $18,235 fame. A dis
tant cousin of the Republican
Vice - Presidential nominee,
young Nixon is a freshman
from Charlotte and "a Demo
crat from way back."
John Sanders of Four Oaks
was elected president; Al House
of Hobgood, first vice-president;
Wanda Lou Philpott, Beckley,
W. Va., second vice-president,
and Cathy Holmes, Hertford,
secretary.
Speaking to some 200 mem
bers of the organization, in
cluding Hubert Olive, son of
the recent gubernatorial candi
date, Sanders said:
"There are entirely too many
students on this campus for
Eisenhower. We must wean
away those students who, in
the words of Bill Umstead, 'in
good faith but bad judgment,'
plan to vote Republican."
The organization was told of
a county-wide rally and barbe
que to be held October 13 at
hte Schley Ranch near Hills
boro. It is expected that Governor-elect
William B. Umstead
will address the rally.

Land Tract Set Aside
For Botanical Garden
The University has set aside a 90-acre tract of land on its
Mason Farm property for a new botanical garden, it was
learned here yesterday.
Prof. H. R. Totten of the University Botany Department,
who is also a member of the
school's Building and Grounds
Committee, said the idea was the
outgrowth of many years plan
ning. However, he added that he was
not at liberty yet to give out any
further specific information on
the project.
Last week, Governor Scott ap
pointed a University Trustees'
Committee composed of Miss Ger
trude Carraway of New Bern,
chairman, B. B. Everett of Pal
myra and John Q. LeGrand of
Chapel Hill, to study the pro
posal. University and State "College
representatives are to confer un
der trustee direction to see that
there is no repitition of expendi
tures on the new garden here
and the proposed J osephus Dan
iels Memorial Arboretum at State
College in Raleigh.
Dr. W. C. Coker, retired chair
man of the Botany Department,
has been planning the new gar
den with the assistance of Pro
fessor Totten.
The proposed arboretum will
be set up in the vicinity of Fin
ley Golf Course off the Raleigh
Road on Mason Farm about two
miles east of Chapel Hill.

at the University.
The announcement was made
yesterday by Colonel Jesse J.
Moorhead, Professor of Air Sci
ence and Tactics.
"If the present trend contin
ues," Colonel Moorhead said, "It

Cadets numbering more than a
thousand beginning in the fall
quarter, 1953."

No rebates will be given to
students on books purchased at
the student book store this year
.because of a policy adopted by
the Board of Trustees.
- Adopted by the board last May,
the policies are to control the
merchandising operations on the
three campuses of the Consoli
dated University and the award

fits of the operations.

ed states: "No discounts shall be
given on any purchase made in
any of the campus stores of thel
Consolidated University by any!
student, faculty or staff member,
or any other person."
Heretofore, the only rebates
given students of the Consoli
dated University, were to stu
dents at UNC. State College in
Raleigh and Woman's College in
Greensboro did not give dis
counts. South Building officials ex
plained yesterday that the Trus
