BRIEF WASHINGTON The United Nations Command was reported about ready yesterday to accept the Communists suggestion for resumption of the Korean truce talks which have been bogged down since last October. No final decisions on details have been made, informed sources said, but the U-N. probably will be prepared to accept the Red proposal that war prisoners who refuse to go tome be placed under control of a neutral nation. Switzerland re portedly may be the U.N. choice of a truly neutral nation which would fee satisfactory to the Allies. The U. S., it was said, will advocate selection of Switzerland. There wa 1 no indication whether she would be acceptable to the Communists. PANMUNJOM Reconnaisance pilots yesterday spotted two con voys of sick and disabled Allied war prisoners "highballing' dow "freedom road toward this truce site where ailing captives of both sides in the Korean war will be exchanged on Monday.

Seven votes gave Bob Gorham, the University Party's candidate, victory over three opponents for the presidency of the student body In yesterday's election. , But his rivals, hopeful of a mistake, demanded a recount and when it was complete at 1:00 a.m. this Campus Politicians Shout About Illegal Doings Of One Another SP Charges UP and Vice Versa But Finally All Ends Happily As Both Drop Accusations Top supporters of Bob Gor ham, University Party presiden tial candidate, and Ken Penegar, Student Party presidential candi date, were yelling about expense accounts and disqualifications last night before votes were counted. Key SP members said Gorham spent more than the S25 allowed presidential candidates. Gor ham's campaign manager said, "We're three dollars under. Well sit up all night to prove it if we have to. You can quote me." Dusty Lamson, chairman of the Elections Board did not, however, get any official protests or challenges of expense ac counts. After the SP charges were written up, a meeting of the board was called. SP lead ers then reconsidered and tore up the written charges without turning them in. Lamson later explained the center of contro versy. Lamson said that Gorham as Fleece Is Now Oldest Group To Publicly Tap By Julian Mason With the recent announcement that the honor societies ta Yale University would no longer select their members in public tappings, the Order of the Golden Fleece here at Carolina becomes the old est honor organization of its type in the country to still use this form of tapping. The first selections were made in 1903, and the public ceremonies this year mark the 50th anniver sary of the order. It was in 1903 that the inspiration for the Order occurred to Dr. Eben Alexander, a UNC faculty member who had been tapped as a student at Yale into Skull and Bones. With the collaboration of two other out standing faculty members, Dr. Ed ward Kidder Graham and Dr. Henry Horace Williams, the order took in its first 11 members that year. Phillips Russell, then the sixth student tapped, now professor of journalism here and a noted au thor, became the first Jason. The order took its symbolism from the legend of Jason and his quest for the golden fleece, which was suggested by Dr. Alexander, a professor of Greek. This legend was a most appropriate choice and which have continued for half a century. . i r i 1 ; j ine Iirsi puouciy pre-announceu ( tapping was held on April 25, 1914, , lecture notes, reading notes, me and the first reunion was held in'.mos, messages, speech drafts and 1923. The order taps on the basis of contribution, character and service. Among the over 500 stu dents tapped in the past have been such men as Gov. Willia'm B. Um- at!5 - President Gray, Lt-Gov. i Luther Hodges, Kay Kyser, Thom- ' as Wolfe, Chancellor R. B. House, . Frank P. Graham, Judge Wal - i ter P. Stacy, Dr. Albert Coates and i- Mayne Albright. The tapping this year will be held in Memorial Hall on Monday ; evening, April 27. Until that time I tu i j j iw muse seiwicu w lappea. well as Gordon Forester, SP secretary-treasurer candidate, actu ally spent more than the allowed amount on posters, but that it did not count since both turned in a sufficient number of unused posters to the Elections Board. The general practice, accord ing to Lamson, allows candidates to be charged only for what they use, not what they print. Lam son said he was going along with the way it had been done, but that changes should be made in the rules. Meantime, the SP camp con tended that although the UP posters weren't used, the print ing of a large quantity lowered the cost of each poster actually used. Then some UP members began talking about possible illegal practices at the Victory Village polls by SP's. So both parties dropped . the whole thiol last night by the time ballot count ing started.

Maintaining a policy of strict impartiality, the United States Navy's chief representative here, Capt. J. S. Keating pulled out two "Stop, Go Gorham" stakes stuck in front of the Naval Ar mory yesterday. Demonstration Of New Quick Free Tonight Can a revolutionary new short hand called Quick be learned by UNC students in one hour flat? This challenge meets Dr. Thomas Burton, author of Quick, tonight at 7 o'clock at a free experimental session in the Roland arker loun - ges of Graham Memorial. A completely new approach, Quick is described as a "common sense shorthand" for students, in structors and professional people. Unlike commercial shorthand, it is designed for original writing term papers. The University Extension Divi sion and the Student Union Activi ties Board will sponsor the free hour-long class for all students and faculty members interested in this simple new shorthand which! can increase note-taking speed by ! five times in short order or at least so says Dr. Burton. Dr. Burton, president of the Bur ton Institute in Charlotte, ha3 re mained on campus since delivering the Phi Assembly's inaugural ad- dress Tuesday night to be able to .teach tonight's class in person. i 1 :h u iv W SEEN 1 ouni'Qin Win morning the results showed the same thing: Gorham the winner by seven votes. The three-way vice presidential race boiled down to a runoff be tween Baxter Miller (SP) and Jack Stilwell (UP). Miller pulled 857 votes to Stilwell's 873, while In dependent Bill Brown drew 534 votesl UP's Jerry Cook racked up 1, 364 to defeat SP choice Gordon Forester, 955, for secretary-treasure. Cook's margin was 409 votes. The two independent presiden tial candidates, Tommy Sumner and Wade Matthews, drew 51 and 180 votes respectively. After the initial count Sumner said he would support Gorham if there were a runoff. Gorham beat Ken Penegar (SP) 1,178 to 940. The votes collected by independent0 Sumner and Mat- j thews totaled 231 which when add- ed to Penegar's tally left the three some seven ballots short of Gor ham. Candidates must receive a majority one more than hall of all the votes cast or the two high est candidates oppose each other in a runoff. The last presidential runoff was two years ago. Gorham's energetic campaign came to a climax last night in Gra ham Memorial as he stood among coffee-drinking politicos and well wishers and thanked the campus. "I can only say at this time that I sincerely appreciate the support that has been given me." Lib Moore (SP) moved into the editorship of the Yackety Yack as she defeated Rollie Tillman (UP). j Early this morning as weary elec tion board members recounted votes few exact figures were iiiuBu, cuuuug Liicui, uuuse uu Luc Yack. Miss Moore is the second coed editor out of the last three yearbooks and the second coed editor of a campus publication this Spring. Charlotte Davis recently was appointed editor of the Caro lina Quarterly to give the women a two-thirds hold on UNC publica tions. Rolfe Neill (SP-UP) was unop posed for editor of The Daily Tar HeeL Jim Fountain became head cheerleader over Louie Patsea vouras. Both candidates were chosen to run by a special cheer leader selection board. The long range outcome was that the University Party got reapprov al for the executive post. Strange ly, Gorham -whose dorm support was doubted by UP bigwigs, came through quite strongly in all dorms. In Dorm Men's V he trail ed Penegar by but one vote and in Dorm Men's IV by only 23. Penegar conceded the election at midnight before the official re count was complete. Penegar said: "It's a hard thing to do, but there is one good thing about my campaign; my ideals re main intact. The students have made their choice and I wish the i president elect the best of luck ! and God speed. May the confidence j placed in him not be misplaced in ; your forthcoming administration." 1 PRESIDENT GORHAM f - - o- i 4 I I K 1
