About 300 riot ing convicts demanded to speak to Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson yes terday and prison officials warn ed they would "go in shooting" if seven captive guards were harmed by the prisoners. The re bellious prisoners let it be known they wanted to . present their grievances about the state prison here directly to Stevenson, the Democratic presidential candi date. When the convicts were told Stevenson was on a cam paign trip in the East, they said: "If he can fly there he can fly back here." Warden Jerome J. Munie said he would do nothing to endanger the guards' lives but would go in shooting if any of them were harmed. SEOUL U. S. Marines recap tured all lost vital hills, guarding Seoul Monday after destroying a full Chinese regiment of more than 2,000 men in 36 hours of bloody fighting. Attacking in heavy fog, the Leathernecks mopped up "The Hook" and seized the outpost hills Frisco, Ronson and Warsaw by 8:40 a.m. Monday against little opposition. The Reds captured the heights in a human sea assault Sunday night. SEOUL One North Korean prisoner died -of injuries and 75 others were hurt Sunday when United Nations guards broke up a military drill staged by Com munist prisoners of war on Koje Island, the UN announced yes terday. The UN prisoner of war command said the incident was an example of "intentional ha rassment." No UN troops were hurt. Thirteen of the injured prisoners, all North Koreans, re quired hospital attention. One of them died. NEW YORK Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson aimed his political arguments on New York City and New Jersey yesterday after a wild and emotional greeting in Harlem which possibly indicated where much of the city's big Ne gro vote will go. in the election next Tuesday. The Democratic presidential candidate was given the biggest, noisiest reception in all his campaign when he stopped in Harlem at the end of a day of hard campaigning in New Eng land. CHICAGO Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy charged Monday night that Gov. Adlai Stevenson, Dem ocratic candidate for president, has given "aid to the Communists cause." McCarthy, speaking on a nation-wide television and radio hookup financed by a privately sponsored $50 a -. plate dinner, said the issue in the current presidential contest is: "Will Communism win or will Amer ica win?"

Ike Backers Here Have Unique Item Carolina's Citizens For Eisen hower have started something new in the way of campaigning on a "college campus, ' according to officials of the group. A truck displaying visual cam- ' paign material on film strips is being , paraded along ranKlin Street this week. The films deal with scandals, taxes, , Korea, creeping Socialism and other GOP grievances against the pres ent administration. "This is the first time this de vice has ever been used here, and, as far as we know, the first time it has been employed on any college campus," said Ham Hor ton, chairman of the Citizens For Eisenhower group here. , Duke University will display the truck next week. :v:-:-:o:-:.:-:-:-::::s:X;x-:s;:5.Nx Special to The Daily Tab Heel GREENSBORO, Oct. 28 A natural scientist concerned about the effect of atomic energy on the world future yesterday tossed a challenge to the political scien tists. Dr. Hubert Alyea. Princeton University chemist who has at tracted national attention by his lectures on the implications of 1 atomic energy, said the chief pro- j blem at hand is to learn how to make safe the world in which there are atomic bombs. He spoke at Woman's College. Despite the three-ring circus atmosphere he created with many explosions, a trick popgun and unexpected clowning, the doctor left a sober challenge with his audience. "Political scientists," he said, "should get as busy about their side of the problem as the na tural scientists have been in mak ing the bomb. Their every wak ing hour should be devoted to ward making a workable plan. "For every dollar spent in mak ing bombs, a dollar should be used by the political-and social scientists in bringing about this safe world. -The more there are working on it, the sooner the answer will come." Dr. Alyea gave his collegiate audience a simplified demonstra tion of the workings of nuclear physics and the processes of radioactivity. The peacetime uses of radioactive xays ...in -, business in industry and in medical re search have vast potentialities, he said. Yet, he pointed out, the threat of the atomic bomb is a realistic one. He offered a four-point solution: 1. Irrespective of the position of Russia, an international code of living must be established by na tions of the world. This great undertaking presents many prob lems to be worked out, but this must be done. 2. International legislation will be necessary to change this code as the world economic positions shift. 3. There must be an interna tional judiciary to pass on neces sary problems, such as the de termination of agressors. 4. An international army must be maintained to use bombs to maintain the peace. "Political scientists' act as if they have all the tune in the world. Actually, time is what they have the least of. It is quite pos sible that in a decade Russia may outproduce us in atomic wea pons. They began hydrogen bomb research before we did. "However, with an interna tional code of living arried at and an efficiently operating inter national . machinery realized, atomic weapons will enable us to maintain the peace. It is no secret, Dr. Alyea said, that the critical elements in an atomic bomb are two masses of materials the size of a pair of fists. The trick and the big secret is to bring these masses together in a 1,000,000th of a sec ond to make the explosion, he pointed out. Dr. Alyea was introduced by Dr. Anna Joyce Reardon, chair man of WC's Physics Department, German Officials Will Visit UNC Ten public . health officials of Western Germany will arrive on the campus here tomorrow to spend six days observing the work of the School of Public Health, participating in a number of seminars with University offi rials, and inspecting the 'entire Division of Health Affairs. Now on a tour of the United States, the doctors will visit number of schools of public health and last week they were euests of the . American Public Health Assocication in Cleveland. Local Smog Result Of Big Forest Fires By Punchy (Bill) Grimes Raging forest fires dotting the Asheville area, sent smoke 8,000 feet into the air yesterday and' covered the entire state with a mile thick layer of smog which almost blotted out the sun. j Chapel Hillians gazed into the murky atmosphere, saw Old Sol reduced to a small glow of orange, and wondered at the cause. Sam Duke of the U. S. Weather Bureau office at the Raleigh-Durham air port said that nearly 100 persons called yesterday; some asking "when will the eclipse be over?" Others, he said, knew that the fires were responsible, and some were just curious. The fires in the western part of North Carolina are only a few of many that are sweeping across the entire nation. Frustrated fire fighters prayed for rain but none was in sight. Thousands of acres of valuable timberland in 20 states are infernoes calling, in some sectors, for the use of National Guard forces. One of the reasons given for the fact that the blazes are spread ing is that, due to the smoke. spotters are not able to see new fires until they are large enough to be out of hand. Foresters battling the blazes near Asheville studied evidence yesterday, that at least one fire was deliberately started. Auth orities are conducting further investigations to determine whether or not warrants will be sworn out against suspected per sons. The smog, which was reported in all sections of the state, was spread by a cool north westerly wind. Weather officials said that the lowering temperatures were a result of this wind rather than of the smoke. Housing Shortage In Dorms Easing The Housing Office yesterday asked boys who have not yet been assigned to dormitory rooms to come by this week for their assignments. A number of boys have moved from dormitories to fraternity houses, easing the situation con siderably. A special appeal was made for those now residing in basements to come by, since tne basements are to be closed this weekend. The boys who have moved from dormitories to fraternities also should come by the Housing Office, located in Old East annex. Just Like Eating Mother' Walt Kelly Would Not Have A Possum Dinner Special to The Daily Tar Heel DARIEN, Conn., Oct. 28. Pogo's papa, Walt Kelly, shock ed fans of the lovable swamp crittur that romps daily' in The Daily Tar Heel with the state ment: "I don't care for real possums any more than anyone else does." His obvious disaffection would probably have made Pogo speechless for the first time in his life. But Kelly isn't really heartless about the plight of possums. When ques tioned about the possibility of having a possum dinner, the athletic-looking cartoonist re plied, "Why, I wouldn't dare. It would be just like eating Mother." Kelly's one burning ambition has been to create a new kind of fairy story for kids. "Most of the stories children are fed W eigle On R evising Dr. Luther A. Weigle, dean emeritus of Yale University Divinity School, will speak about his experience with the committee responsible for the New Standard Revised Ver sion of the Bible tonight at 7:30 in Gerrard Hall., The talk is entitled "The Task in the Modern Translation of the Bible". Dr. Weigle has been Draft Test Applications Due Saturday Special to The Daily Tar Heel Washington, Oct. 28 Selective Service officials today reminded college students that the deadline for submitting applications for the December 4 Selective Service College Qualification Test is mid night Saturday, and that appli cations postmarked after that time cannot be considered. Local draft boards have an adequate supply of test applica tion blanks on hand for draft eligible students. Students are to mail their completed applications to Educational Testing Service of Princeton, New Jersey. To be eligible to apply for the college deferment test a student must (1) intend to request defer ment as a student; (2) be satis factorily pursuing a full-time course of instruction; and (3) must not have previously taken the Selective Service Cllege Qualification Test. - Another test will be held April 23, 1953 but Gen. Lewis Hershey emphasized that increasing man power demands make it important that each draft-eligible student who has not taken the test do so as soon as possible. Students whose academic year will end in January 1953 have been urged to take the December 4, 1952 test so they will have a test score in their cover sheets be fore the end of their academic year, at which time their boards will reopen and reconsider their cases to determine whether they should be deferred -as students. The present criteria for defer ment .as an undergraduate student are either a satisfactory score (70) on the Selective Service Col lege Qualification Test or speci fied rank in class (upper half of the male freshman class, upper two thirds of the male sophomore class, or upper three fourths of the male junior class). Students accepted for admission or attending a graduate school prior to July 1, 1951 satisfy the criteria if their work is satisfac tory. Graduate students admitted or attending after July 1, 1951 must have been in the upper half (See DRAFT, Page 4) originated in the Orient, Eu rope, Scandinavia or Greece. I've tried to write an up to date modern fable," Kelly said. Still, adults are his biggest fans. To Kelly, Pogo is almost as real "as his own three children. "He's no pen-and-ink thing to, me," he said. "I believe in him and I think of him as alive. But of course I'd keel over if he walked in." Actually the creator of the beady-eyed comic strip star had been drawing Pogo for five years before he ever saw a real live possom. Since animals started earn ing a living for him, Kelly has given up hunting. He thinks there's no point in shooting something that can't shoot back. "And if animals could," he says, "there'd be d heck of a scarcity of hunters." Spoak o chairman of the committee for the past 17 years. Dr. Weigle received an MA and LLD from Gettysburg . College, Ph.D and DD from Yale, and DD from Boston University. From 1 1928 to 1949 he was dean of the ! Yale Divinity School. , As a member of World Coun- j cil of Churches and education ' committees Dr. Weigle has travel- j ed in Europe, the Near East and ' China. He is author of several publications concerning religious education, the family ! and New Testament history and philoso-; phy. All the Yale alumni in this ' area have ben invited to have supper with Dr. Weigle in Lenoir Hall at 5:45. Members of the lo cal host committee are the Rev. Richard Jackson, Maurice Kid der, Claude Shotts, Dr. William Poteat, Ram Singh and John Rie bel. The UNC Religion Department is responsible for Weigle's visit. His schedule in this area includes a talk at Women's College this afternoon, -and a late departure for Raleigh tonight. Million Vets Now Taking GI Training Special to The Daily Tar Heel WINSTON-SALEM, Oct. 28 On the basis of estimated figures by the Veterans Administration on GI training, more than a million veterans are taking this type of training this fall. Approximately one-third of the number, the VA said, are attend ing colleges and universities, while two-thirds are in other types of training below the col lege level. Included in the two thirds are veterans attending trade schools and business schools and those taking on-the-job and on-the-farm training. The number of World War II veterans in GI training has fallen off steadily and the number of World War II men now in train ing is estimated at approximately one-half of the number one year ago. Their deadline for commenc ing GI bill training generally fell in the middle of 1951. Nearly 200,000 of the present number of GI trainees, or ap proximately 20 percent of the total, are young veterans who have served since the beginning of the Korean conflict. Their training is under the so-called Korean GI Bill, applying to veterans who served in the armed forces anywhere in the world since June 27, 1950. It can be reasonable to expect, the VA said, that the number of World -War II veterans in train ing will show a continued de crease, while Korean veterans will enroll in training programs in increasing numbers as they are discharged from military service.

Sillcox, executive vice-president of the New York Air Brake Co. will speak tonight on "Freight Car Facts" at 7:30 in the Faculty Room of the More head Building.
