U BRIEF
SEOUL Gen. James A. Van
Fleet announced yesterday that
the South Korean 9th Stay and
Fight Division has won a "tre
mendous victory" by recapturing
all territory lost in the bloody,
week-long battle on White Horse
Mountain. In- the statement,
which was made during a press
conference, the 8th Army com
mander said that the Koreans
have taken everything the Chi
nese 38th Army it's one of their
best could throw at them." The
victory for the South Koreans
came in spite of attempts to blow
a hole in their lines by frenzied
Chinese suicide troops with de
molition charges.
MOSCOW Russia admitted
yesterday its fighter planes fired
on an American Superfortress
which disappeared in the Far
East but insisted they did so only
after the B-29 violated Soviet ter
ritory and fired first. In Tokyo
an Air Force spokesman said the
missing American bomber which
the Russians accused of firing at
Soviet fighters off northern Japan
carried no guns. The plane was
on a routine test flight and was
unarmed, the spokesman said.

that he would discuss Governor
Stevenson's "role in the Hiss
case" last night on a nation-wide
radio and television speech at
tacking the Democratic admin
istration for its "shabby and
shocking record" against Com
munism. NEW YORK A former Com
munist party official testified
yesterday that 300 New York
city school teachers were orga
nized into a Communist "under
ground" in 1948 and 1949. John
Lautner, once head of the party's
New York State Review Com
mission, told a Senate subcom
mittee the move was part of a
' concerted effort" to revamp the
party's functioning in the school
system.

Dorm Room
Shortage
Is Easing
There hasn't been much change
in the dormitory housing shor
tage, but the turnover has been
steady, James L. Wadsworth,
housing officer said yesterday.
"Approximately 75 . men are
still seeking dormitory rooms and
are now residing in dorm base
ments," Wadsworth said. "This
figure could be wrong by as
much as 25, one way or the other."
Wadsworth said he hoped
fraternity pledging will move
enough boys into fraternity
houses to take care of the group
now living in basements.
"We would like for the boys
in the basements to keep check
ing with the housing officer for
vacancies in dormitories," he said.
"It is not always possible for us
to contact the students because
there are no phones and no mail
deliveries."
Any room change should be
made with the housing office. "In
order for us to know what rooms
are vacant, students should make
the proper request for changes
with our office," Wadsworth said.
Victory Village apartments,
rented only to married students,
are filled. "The apartments are
already taken and we still have
a waiting list," Wadsworth said.
Grad Writes
Impression
Of Birthday
(The following was written last
year for The Daily Tar Heel by Jim
my Wallace, Carolina graduate and
history instructor. We are reprinting
it in connection with yesterday's
159th UNC birthday celebration be
cause of its timeless interests. Ed.)
By Jimmy Wallace
Some of the students hastened
to South Building, anxious to
get a close-up view of the cere
mony. Others were attracted by
the band concert. Still others saw
the crowd gathering and wan
dered over to have a look.
The usual coffee addicts found
their places on the South Build
ing steps had been pre-emptied
by the combined University Glee
Clubs.
The workmen had begun the
platform at 8 o'clock. Now they
were gone, and the participants
in the annual Founder's Day ex
ercises kept time with the music
as they waited. From the center
of Polk Place, one could catch
the blue of the sky, the sharp
contrast of the South Building
belfrv as it jutted upwards into
the crystalling atmosphere of the
fall morning. Windows on tne
second and third floor were filled
with onlookers, elbows on the
sills, heads propped on hands.
Old-timers - in the faculty,
veterans of many University
ceremonies, dropped by to pay
their respects and stayed until
the end. On the edges of the
expanding crowd, and up front
too, new students beginning an
adventure at the University,
drank in the view, bowed their
heads, listened to the solemn and
well-chosen words of Chancellor
House, and stood in appreciative
silence as the majestic Latin of
Integer Vitae echoed from the
walls of the quadrangle.
The spectators and the parti
cipants were all in their youth.
By the calendar, some were
young, some were old, but in
their minds, for this briefest of
moments, they were school boys.
For this tiny instant, xnere wi
unity of purpose. A University,
long out of its short pants, long
tDr nf thought and learning,
drew strength once again from
the simplicity and dignity wmcu
it humble origins.

Designed To Prod The
Students Skeptical Of Religion
Prompt Law Professor s Book
By Tom Parramore
Fellow students who were
"discarding their religion be
cause they thought science had
shown religion to be untrue"
fiinally led a lawyer to write a
book called "You Can Believe."
The lawyer is Dr. Frank W.
Hanft of the University's Law
School faculty. He started
thinking on the matter years
ago when attending the Univer

"The central idea was simply
to examine the Christian reli

whatever truth there was in
it," said Dr. Hanft. In going

pill is taken after each meal.
Dr. Benjamin F. Sieve said fer
tility was prevented in 298 of 300
cases. He said the- two couples

The pills were taken after each
meal by both busband and wife.
Dr. Sieve said that 10 days are

Rep. John W. Umstead, vet
eran Orange County legisla

for a Young Democrats Club
rally here Thursday evening.
The rally will be staged at
5 p.m. on the lawn in front of
Graham Memorial, YDC Presi
dent John Sanders said yesterday.
In case of rain the site will be
Gerrard Hall.
A brother of the Democratic
nominee for Governor, Umstead
is one of the most colorful figures
in the N. C. General Assembly.
From his seat in the back row of
the House, the representative has
been a champion of progressive
legislation, notably in the field of
education. He directed the 1943
battle for the nine month school
term.
Known for years as a close
friend and champion of the Uni
versity, from which he graduated
m 1908, Umstead has been a
Board of Trustees member since
1939 and on the board's Execu
tive Committee since 1946. He is
also on the Executive Committee
of the UNC General Alumni As
sociation. During his undergraduate days
at Carolina, Umstead roomed
with Frank Porter Graham, who
was later to become first presi
dent of the Consolidated Univer
sity. He has a son named after
the North Carolina educator.
Umstead first went to the State
1 legislature in 1931 as representa
tive of the sixteenth district. In
1939 he ran again and was elect
ed. Defeated in 1940, he returned
in 1941 and has not been defeated
since.
He is vice-chairman of the
State Hospital Board of Control
and was prominent in the drive
to convert Camp Butner from a
training base into a mental and
alcoholic- institution. Umstead al
so was instrumental in setting up
the successful Butner Youth Cen
ter, an unguarded correction
camp for youthful first offenders.
