WEATHER Fair and rather cold with 56 high. Yesterday's high, 47; low, 25. T A T U M Sports Editor Rob erts says an alumnus will return. See p. 3. VOLUME LXI, NUMBER 72 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1953 FOUR PAGES TODAY Gordon MewM DURHAM The board of trus tees of Watts Hospital has ex pressed approval of a proposal to use the old Watts Home here as an Institute of Opera or Music. The institute will be operated undar the University of North Carolina Extension Division and as headquarters for the North Caro lina Symphony Society. If present plans materialize, the institute will be headed by Norman Cordon, former Metropolitan Opera star who now is director of the North Carolina Music Program of the Extension Division of the Uni versity. Contacted regarding the plans, Cordon said yesterday that al though private donations have been given toward establishing the musical institute, appropriation by the State Legislature is needed to provide enough money. Cordon said that sometime with in coming weeks, he and othcis will appear before the Legislature's Appropriations Committee to re quest an arnoun.t not yet de termined, for the institute. He said that if the Legislature appropriates the money needed, the money will not be available until next July, at the start of another fiscal year. The building is "ideally suited" for a musical institute, Cordon said. He expressed the belief that no alterations will be necessary be fore the institute is established. Headquarters of the Symphony Society are now located in Swam Hall in Chapel Hill. Dr. Benjamin F. Swalin is conductor of the Sym phony. In the event that the Symphony's headquarters are moved to the Watts Home, only the business phase of the group's activities will be conducted there. There will be no Symphony musical rehearsals. Mrs. Herbert Fox, chairman of a Watts Hospital board committee said yesterday that since the build ing could not be used for any hospital functions, and since ef forts had failed to sell it for ?. suitable purpose and reasonable price, the board felt that "a cul tural use such as this would be ideal." Many Helped At Notre Dame By University SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 12 (Special) A tradition founded on the University of Notre Dame cam pus over a hundred years ago makes it possible for present-day students to "pay-as-you-go" by holding full and part-time pobs. A recent survey showed that one out of seven undergraduate stu dents is working his way through school. ; Students are employed by busi ness and industry in the city as well as on the campus. Jobs range from motion-picture operators to hunters of bird specimen for tne bioloev department. Night watch men for 50 of the college buildings are drawn from the student body, as are editors of student publica tions, photographers, campus letter carriers and swimming pool life pnards. The university employs student busboys, dishwashers and waiters in the dining room. . nsnitP the numerous opportuni ties for student employment of ficials reported that there are al wavs more applicants than jobs. The university is required to se lect those to be employed. ( Notre Dame's student employ ment tradition was begun in 1845 by the Rev Edward Sorrin, founder of the university. . ASKING QUESTIONS Beginning Friday, The DaHy Tar HmI will start a weekly campus opinion survey edited by Dave Herbert. Herbert, junior from Rocky Mount, will interview students on pertinent topics affecting the campus, state, -end nation.

Will Di usic Agency t NORMAN CORDON Glen Lennox Grade School Due By June The Glenwood elementary school near Glen Lennox, is about half complete and probably will be fin ished by the end of the school year. This was the essence of a re port made to the School Board a ast week's meeting. Board Chair man Carl Smith said that despite bad-weather holdups, the construc tion of the $165,000 six-class-rooir school is still going ahead o' schedule. The walls of the modernistic one-story building are up an work on the roof is expected to start soon. Although the boara has been concerned over the pos sible steel shortage, it was report ed that metal door and window frames and structural roof beams have been received and are ready for installation. 'The Community Athletic Coun cil, composed of interested Rotary and Kiwanis Club members, has embarked on a $2,000 improve ttients program in the high school athletic building. They are using the money, most of which was raised from contribu tions, to install a steam boiler and a hot-air blower heating system in the building, which has never been adequately heated, officials say. At the same time the school board is having the basketball court floor rpeaired and the underpinning of the building strengthened. In addition, the boiler in the shop building of the high school is being replaced and is expected to be ready in a few days. Re cently the boiler blew up and near ly destroyed the building. The. en tire loss estimated at $1,200 was covered by insurance. At Lincoln High School the roof on the two-year old building is, be- on. Officials reported the roof had ing taken off and a new one put leaked in a number of spots ever since the building was occupied. Grants Allow Foeign Study By Graduates listins? nearly 200 fel- lmuchin nnnnrttmities for American luncu'i' I Z students to study abroad during the 1953-54. academic year were is- sued this week by tne msuiuie ui International Education.

Most of the awards are for study in European and Latin American universities. Grants are also available,' however, at, the University of Ceylon and at the University ot Aeneran. iln announcing the opening of the competition for these fellowships, the Institute of International Edu cation emphasized the fact that al though a good knowledge of the language of the country is a pre requisite the awards are not lim ited to the study of languages and ( See GRANTS, Page 2) Town Will Add More Phones By Jim Wilkinson Chapel Hill will get 600 new telephone lines by July and this should considerably ease the local jam, a telephone official said yes terday. Installation of the lines will be gin when the equipment arrives Jn April, the official said. The town, campus included, now has 1..600 lines serving approxi mately 4,700 customers or stations. That averages a little less than three phones to a line. ' With the arrival of more lines, first consideartion will be given persons who have applied for phones. There is a backlog of 259 such requests now on file. Sec ondarily, it will relieve the con gestion of two and three-party lines After filling both these or ders, telephone officials believe they will still have half capaciiy left for future expansion. The equipment under order is of the intertoll dialing type which allows cross-country calls without the assistance of an operator. This doesn't mean that the intertoll sys tem will go into effcet with the arrival of this equipment. It does mean that when this section of the country switches to that system, Chapel Hill will have the neces sary equipment. It doesn't mean, either, that there will be any change in the policy of placing telephones on the first and third floors only of dormitories. That, according to the phone official, was a decision reached some years ago by a meet ing of dormitory managers. The reason is simply one of dollars and cents. As one-party lines, these phones cost $4 a month each. An other phone would only raise the dormitory fee by that amount. Dean Phillips Gives Advice To Educators The Dean of the School of Edu cation, in an address in Plymouth last night, called for a "clearer identification of the problems in public education." He emphasized that members of the profession of education must assume their share in creating high professional standards of performance and in tegrity. Addressing the Albemarle Schoolmaster's Club in Plymouth, Dean Guy B. Phillips said that teachers and administrators need to force out of the profession those who fail to live up to its high standards of performance and lead ership. The Albemarle group is com posed of school personnel and 15 administrative units in northeast ern North Carolina. Discussing the problems facing education today, Dean Phillips cited the potential school population, which he said is a major concern and criticism against public educa tion, which be said has been in creased by the lack of understand ing on the part of intelligent and loyal citizens. School personnel, Dean Phillips suggested, stands in a key position to do something about these prob lems. "There is some evidence," he said, "to indicate that professional leadership has been limiting itself to a defense of educational activi ties rather than preparing a strong offense of great vision and crea- tiveness.

(Spe- - cial) Approximately one out of every 13 men to be drafted from North Carolina in February will be 19-year-olds, a survey showed today. The survey indicated that North Carolina is one of at least a dozen states in which this age group will be affected. While the number of 19-year-olds among the 53,000 to be drafted throughout the country in Feb ruary will not be large, no exact figure could be arrived at be : V GEORGES BIDAULT has been named to succeed Robert Schu man as French Foreign Minister. Premier Rene Mayer made the change in a step toward forming the new cabinet. Ji E A Tele photo.

NSA is a national college or ganizatino that acts as a clearing house lor ideas on student gov ernments and expresses an offi cial voice in other organizations for students. The. committee representing ;lllp cause a number of state direc tors said they didn't know. The present draft age is 18 to 26. Since inductions started in 1948, draft boards have been taking the oldest men registered first. Now they have worked down from the 26 to the 20-year-olds and have drafted, deferred, exempted or rejected almost all the men between those ages. Questioned about the survey's result, Brig. Gen. Louis H. Ren fro, deputy director of national (See DRAFT, Page 2) Religion Study Will Be Topic In YW Panel Students interested in , finding out more about other peoples' reli gions and their own have an op portunity to do so today in the second discussion of a series on American religions sponsored by the YWCA. The Rev. Maurice Kidder, min ister of the Church of the Holy Family, is the moderator of the lecture-discussion, which will be held each Tuesday afternoon, 4 to 5:30, in the YWCA Cabinet room. Mr. Kidder formally taught Reli gion 91 in the Religion Department here. According to Jane Berryhill, chairman of the Christian Faith and Heritage Commission of the YWCA which ha6 headed the ar rangements for these discussions, the first meeting last Tuesday aft ernoon was a "phenomenal suc cess" coming out of the "desires and efforts of interested students." Miss Berryhill said any person of any religion with questions in his mind about the religions of America will get "a great deal' from this series. The topic for discussion this aft ernoon is The Old Testament Background for Judean Christian Tradition." Scabbard And BTade A meeting of the Scabbard and Blade will be held tonight at 7:39 in the Naval Armory, Uniforms are required. NSA on campus has been rela tively inactive thus far this school year. Wood Smethurst, chairman of the campus com mittee, has neither outlined any plan nor reported on any com mittee meetings. Horton also- commented on the check cashing service that student government "establish ed" in Lenoir Hall saying, "I (See KSA Page 2) S Is S ir a a n a I By John Jamison The Legislature appears almost certain to by-pass the University's request for big permanent im provements in Chapel Hill an au ditorium-armory and a student union building when it divides up the State's money this week. "The Advisory Budget Commis sion made its recommendations on the basis of .the immediate needs of the State," David S. Coltrane, assistant director of the budget, said last night. By implication, this means the September budget request from the Consolidated University was the object of considerable hacking by the advisory group. Coltrane continued, "The Legis lature will take up Governor Um stead's plea for a 10 per cent sal ary increase for State employees retroactive to July. This will in volve about $41 million, and that kind of takes up the surplus." The state has a surplus now of about $40,000,000. "There is not too much left over THE NEWJ ISI BR DURHAM Gov. William B. Um stead's personal physician said yes terday that the Governor had suf fered a mild heart attack and that his condition is much improved since he was admitted to Watts Hospital Sunday morning. The phy sician, Dr. Ralph G. Fleming, said that because of the heart attack, Governor Umstead was inaugurated last week in ceremonies at the State Capitol. SEOUL United Nations troops battered back three separate at tacks by 1,500 Communists on the eastern front yesterday, killing 260 enemy soldiers participating in the heaviest Red attack of the year. At the same time Allied warplanes stepped up their three-day pound ing of vital Red supply routes north of Sinanju. Chinese communists al so threw an unsuccessful 2'0-mah attack against two allied advance positions west of Chorwon on the central front. WASHINGTON The Senate In ternal Security Subcommittee yes terday urged .further investigation of Red influences in the nation's schools and colleges and said there are "many hundreds of teachers who ,are. Communists." The sub committee said is has turned up evidence from all parts of the coun try on Communist penetration of colleges, high schools and elemen tary schools.; During its public hear ings in New York City last Sep tember and October, the group said, it became apparent it could only survey the situation in a broad fash ion and submit an interim report to the new Congress. WASHINGTON Relief from bit ter wintery storms came to most of the North yesterday but the East, still reeling under a week-end bar rage of snow and ice, got another blanket of white. The Weather Bur eau said rain or snow was reported from North Carolina to Maine yes terday morning, with the snow be ing confined to areas from New York northward. Snow and freezing temperatures made -highway travel hazardous in western North Caro lina yesterday. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah The fate of a C-46 transport plane, miss ing since early last Wednesday in the wild, rugged country in the vicinity of the Utah-Wyoming-Idaho boundaries, remained a mystery yesterday as searchers prepared to cover the Tegion for the sixth straight day. Several seemingly red- hot tips on the possible location of the missing aircraft have been thoroughly investigated without turning up any trace of the plane EF sf To Cm mom his for permanent improvements," he said. Coltrane and others conferred last night to set a definite time for presentation of the budget book. It was originally expected that the book would be taken up last night or tonight. However, the legisla tive schedule has been upset by Governor Umstead's heart attack yesterday. An interesting sidelight to the disposition of State funds is Col trane's recent return to authority. After a falling out with Governor Kerr Scott last June, he was stripped of most of the duties of his office. Coltrane, it seems, re fused to support the Scott guberna torial candidate, Hubert Olive. One of Governor Umstead's first moves after the inauguration was to assure Coltrane that once again he was in the good graces of the 'administration. It is not known what Coltrane intends to do about the $3,460 in back pay he has left in the paymaster's care since Scott slapped his wrists. 1 .;::iV;::'..V Wk fill - -f II J DR.
