W. Pierson and a talic luesoay PANMUNJOM A Communist proposal that anti-Red war prison ers be kept in Korea in custody of five neutral ntions pending their final disposition was sent to Washington yesterday for high level instructions. Communist truce team chief Gen. Nam IL in what appeared to be a major con cession, proposed that Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, Czechoslo vakia and India take charge of those prisoners who refuse to go back to their Red-ruled homelands. United Nations negotiators regard ed Nam's eight-point proposal as so important that they asked for a recess until Saturday in the truce talks so they could refer it to Washington for a decision. WASHINGTON The White House refused to say anything yes terday about the Communists' lat est Korean truce proposals as i American officials began a "care ful look" at them. Diplomatic of ficials were chary of comment pending full official study of the Reds plan. There was some dis position, however, to hope the Communists finally were swinging around to a position the United Nations could consider. Creasy Opens Interviews For Fall Orientation Summer Jobs Are Offered To Measure Crop Orientation Committee Chairman Tom Creasy yesterday listed a schedule of interviews for those interested in becoming orienta tion counselors.

Creasy said that the Orientation Committee hopes to have more counselors this year than before in an effort to make the teams smaller. He said that in this way each freshman will receive more in dividual attention and will be able to participate more in the group meetings. A schedule of short interviews, lasting febout five minutes has been arranged. The schedule is: Monday, 7 to 9 p.m.; Tuesday, 7 to 9 pjn.; and Wednesday, 4 to 6 p.m. Trustees Will Visit 3 Schools About 20 new University Trus tees will get a refresher course in trusteeing next week when they spend a. day at each of the three institutions of the Consolidated!

Department of Agriculture, will discuss jobs in measurement of the acreage of all tobacco and peanuts in North Carolina. Pay for the work is on a piece work basis and will be explained by Avent. These jobs are expected to be of particular interest to students who wish to find themselves sum mer employment near their own homes, since many counties within the state have openings for men to measure crop acreage, according to the University Placement Service. The work begins June 1 in the Piedmont and Western sections of the state. In the Eastern counties, it will be sooner, Approximately 50 students from the University engaged in this type work last summer, WASHINGTON The White House announced yesterday Gen.

MOUZON Women Voters Will Sponsor Trade Panel A public meeting on internat ional trade and economic aid will be sponsored by the Chapel Hill League of Women "Voters in the Town Hall here next Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. Members of a panel leading the discussions, to be participated in by the audience, will be Edward Gould, Director of Industrial Re- j ations, Southern Division of Pa cific Mills; Prof. Olin T. Mouzon, international trade specialist of- the University's School of Business Administration, and two members of the League of Women Voters: Mrs. D. P. Costello and Mrs. George Kachergis. Mrs. Nicholas Demerath is chair man of the program for the meet ing and Mrs. John Gillin will serve as moderator of the panel. The program Is planned because of much discussion of the program of international trade and the Re ciprocal Trade Agreement and pending legislation in Congress and the fact that the United Na tions is encouraging programs to promote world trade and encourage economic cooperation among na tions. " Only one question was raised as the Legislature passed the bill with a unanimous vote. Dayton Estes asked, "What is that smell in The Daily Tar Heel, and is it costing us any money?" Forester explained that it was the result of a soap ad which used the perfumed ink, and that it was not costing student government any money. Several new bils" were introduc ed in the 45-minute session. Joel Fleishman (SP) introduced a bill to allow old legislators to take part in discussion and debate. The bill would, with a majority vote of the legislature, extend the privileges of the floor to the speak er or to any former member of Student Legislature enrolled in the University at the time. Fleishman introduced another bill to increase student participa tion in student government. The bill would provide for a commit tee known as the Student Govern ment. Procurement Committee. Forester (SP) introduced a bill to defray expenses of delegates .to the National Students Association convention. The bill would provide $75 to pay the registration fee of the delegates and $225 to help pay their living and traveling expenses. The-.funds, for these expenses would come from the unappropri ated balance of the 1952-53 budget. Delegates to previous NSA con ventions have had to pay their own expenses. Speaker Baxter Miller appoint ed a committee to study President Bob Gorham's appointments and report on their findings. Indica tions are that some of Gorham s appointments may be questioned. The bill on extending privileges of the floor means that if a ma jority of the Legislature approves, an old legislator may participate in debate and discussion. In fact, he would practically have the power of a legislator without a vote. Last night's session was smooth and efficient. Next week's session may not be that way, since some of the bills introduced last night will come up for approval, along with Gorham's appointments. Jordan Says State Will Pay If Chapel Hill Road Redone Oratory Contest Today is the last day for seniors to enter the Mangum Medal Ora tory Contest. All seniors who grad uate by the end of the first semes ter next year are eligible to enter the contest sponsored by both Di and Phi Blind Frosh Looking Forward To Satisfying Musical Career By Walt Dear performer as well as a He's a listener. Owner of 1,600 records, mostly collectors' items of jazz, Ed Potter of Wilmington has a summer piano show, is an organizer of Dixieland jazz combos, and spends his week ends at popular night spots such as the Country Club. Ed handles the trombone and trumpet as eas ily as he twiddles the ivories. Blind since he was three months old, Ed is thinking of a career in radio. "My hope is that my per forming will be a boost in announ cing," he says. Now a freshman at the University of North Carolina, Ed plans to major in radio. He has had five years of practical radio experience. His summer program on WMFD, Wilmington has nearly 5,000 listeners, mostly female, who like to hear him sing as well as play. Ed has had no trouble getting sponsors for his. morning show.i A local soft drink producer, a fashion shop, and a drug store en able him to go on the air four times a week with a fifteen minute show. His styling is a mixture of George Shearing and Skitch Hen derson, plus a good bit of his own arranging. , One of his most unusual experi ences with radio was working with an attractive vocalist, a senior in Wilmington High School, who could sing well, but who liked to do witn no snoes on. ".Even at re hearsals, she always took her shoes off," Ed recalls. "Singing barefoot is an old Southern tradition." Now 21, Ed is looking forward to another summer show. He hopes to have a talent show. When name bands come to Wil mington, Ed invites them to his show. Local musicians and towns people are always welcome to spot on the Potter show. In high school, Ed organized the "Dixie Beaux" which toured many sections of the state. Ed is continually adding to his large record collection. Recently he bought 16 jazz records and av erages a weekly purchase of ten. Most of the records are collectors' items dating from 1935. He is now buying a series of foreign langu age jazz recordings, including Eng land, Sweden and India. "There's nothing that can beat original American jazz," Ed says. Next to record collecting, Ed likes to make recordings with his tape recorder. As a diversion one day, he thought out the piano har monies in "Bye-Bye Blues," re corded his own voice for each part, combined them, and came out with a five part harmony piece. Ed began to take piano lessons when he was ten. He learned clas sical music but plays popular pieces by ear. The state will bear all costs when the new Durham-Chapel Hill super-highway, which has develop ed cracks since it was Opened to traffic last September, is resurfac ed, Dr. Henry Jordan, chairman of the State Highway Commission said yesterday. Dr. Jordan said he did not know when the highway will be resurfac ed. "It would not be done until you're sure you wouldn't have ad ditional failures," he said. After the cracks first appeared there was a controversy between the Commission and the Nello L. Teer Construction Company of Durham, which did the paving, as to the cause of the trouble. Teer blamed inadequate drainage for the trouble, contending that the Highway Commission would not let his firm install proper drainage ditches. Eventually, the Commission had the drainage ditches put in and cleared the Teer firm of blame for the trouble. The Commission accepted the highway last Dec. 31. Since then, Dr. Jordan said, many man hours have been spent patching and re pairing the road. He said he didn't ksow exactly how many man hours had been expended, but that "they've done a lot of patching."
