Furry declined, however, to say who the other five men were when asked to do so by Sen. Joe McCarthy (R-Wisconsin) at a one-man subcommittee hear ing. In three previous appearances before congressional hearings, the professor had refused to give the Red-hunting senator any informa tion about communis? ties. Furry did testify that two of his former Red associates were now in West ern Europe. WASHINGTON -(JP)- The House Armed Services Committee voted here yesterday 26 to 0 to let the Air Force build its own service academy at a cost estimated at up to $175,000,000. Chairman John Taber (R-NY), however, said he didn't think the House Appropria tions Committee would allow more than about five million of the 25 to 30 million dollars the Air Force said it would need at once to get the work underway.

Penegar, a senior, will be re placed by Chal Schley, a sopho more. . Penegar was the Student Party's candidate for president of the stu dent body last spring and was de feated by Bob Gorharn, the Uni versity Party candidate. The resignation came as a con stitutional requirement, since Fen egar was elected to the Student Council in the fall elections. The constitution stales that no person may remain chairman of an exec utive committee and hold any polit ical office. Penegar will remain, however, as chairman of the Virginia Caro lina region of NSA and will attend the regional meeting to be held at Woman's College in Greensboro Sen. Kefauver Calls Fcr Rd!-Caii Vote WASHINGTON (JP) Senator Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) circu lated a resolution here last week end which may become the rally ing point for congressional oppon ents of the Bricker Amendment to curb presidential treaty - making powers. The resolution differs with Senator Bricker (R.Ohio) and Senator Knowland (R-California), who had introduced a substitute amendment, in that it is not an amendment to the constitution. Kefauver's plan calls for simply putting the Senate's attitudes to wards treaties and their domestic effects on record. It also calls for roll call votes when the Senate ratifies a treaty. President Eisen hower has opposed Senator Brick er's plan and the Republican Party has feared a serious split over its enactment. and tastefully arranged music with a danceable beat that's i,dv v RALpH MATERIE.;;: Jose Greco Dancers Get iroval By Tom Lambeth Latin dancers,' like Latin lovers, are fast and fiery and last night one of the world's best companies of these dancers, in all their speed and fire, added Chapel Hill to" the list of its many successful appear ances. Jose Greco and his Spanish Dance Company tapped and swirled their way into Tar Heels hearts to the tune of clicking castanets, singing guitars and a capable pianist The crowd of more 1,100, far surpassing those which greeted the previous " Student Entertainment series performances, was unhesi tating in giving its approval to Greco and his troupe. They even let out with a few south-of-the-border "oles" before the evening was over. Greco, a student of the great La Argentina, let go the full fury of his Spanish-Italian blood as he twirled, clicked and slid his way across the Memorial " Hall floor. Tall . and dark, with sharp features, he was the perfect fig ure of a brave matador or a suave Madrid dandee. The Greco dancers came in for their share of the applause also as did the musicians. The crowd especially liked a lively young dancer-comediene who tipped her rose and spasmodicaly let go with a fury of Spanish words to her audience. The bare stage was transformed into a hacienda garden or a city street by the expert costuming of Wardrobe Mistress Corrie de Brauw. . Special music in solo form was provided by guitarist Ricardo Blas co and pianist Pablo Miguel. Duke Hospital Makes Plans For New Wing DURHAM, Jan. 15 A new $3,386,000 Duke Hospital wing which will add a new out-parlent clinic and more than 100 new beds to the university's medical center will begin to rise here sometime this spring, President Hollis Edens announced here today. Long under consideration, the new seven-story structure will re lieve the congestion in the out patient clinic and meet the ever increasing demands for medical service, President Edens said in his announcement of the new addi tion. More than 400 patients a day are now cared for in the clinic, originally designed to handle only 200 daily. The clinic has been called Duke's "greatest contribu tion to Southern medical care." A Duke Endowment contribu tion of $1,000,000, originally made in 1946, and private contributions to the medical building fund will provide the financial essentials for construction of the new wing.

C Starts Era In Co By Charles Childs Daily Tar Heel Science Writer Raleigh, Jan x5 A new era in atomic energy was begun re cently at the Raleigh branch of the consolidated University, State. ' ; It started the first nuclear reactor owned by a college. Costing $300,000, the reactor is housed in a building of air-conditioned laboratories and offices, under the direction of Dr. Clif ford A. Beck, chairman of the Departmen of Physics. The reactor will be used for classroom, laboratory and re search instruction. Upon ap proval, other college groups may use it for research in such fields as biology, medicine and chemis try. The basic intent of the rea ctor is that it will be operated as a completely unclassified pro ject, meaning a free use of the reactor and results of experi ments i (The reactor itself is octagjon al in shape, 17: feet wide and nine and one-half feet high.' It contains about lone and one half pounds of uranium-235, the same material used in the first atomic bomb. The amount of uranium used in the reactor would occupy less space than cigarettes, but its unofficial estimated value is over $1,000,000. This uranium, loan ed by the Ttomic Energy Com mission, is in a sulfur compound dissolved in heavy water, a vital ingrediant of the H-bomb. A one foot stainless steel cylind er holds the solution in the cent er of the reactor. Around -, the wjstainless. steel "can" are 13 tons of graphite and 13 tons of lead surrounded by '65 cubic feet of metal-filled concrete. This concrete is in the form of ifvee to ten ton blocks. In the concrete are seven holes covered by wall-type com bination safe doors. These are opened when exposing materials to the radioactive beam coming from the "can."

Bishop Henry Will Give Talk Bishop Henry, Episcopal bishop of the Western North Carolina diocese, is scheduled as the guest speaker at the Canterbury Club meeting tomorrow night. Bishop Henry will celebrate Holy Communion at the eight o'clock service Sunday at the Chapel of the Cross. This will be a corporate communion for all students from his diocese. He will also preach at the eleven o'clock morning prayer service. The Canterbury Club meeting is slated to .begin at 6 o'clock, and all students and towns people are invited to attend. . The bishop, a familiar figure in Chapel Hill, was born here and attended the University. After his undergraduate days he was grant ed a fellowship in chemistry. Dur ing his early priesthood, he be came rector at Tarboro and later at Charlotte, N. C. He was conse created a bishop in 1947.

Intelligent Voters Are Needed, Education Official Early Says DURHAM, Jan. 15 (JP) the greatest issue in American educa tion today is to make people real ize that a thriving democracy de mands an intelligent electorate, the president of the National Educa tion Assn., declared here at Duke University Thursday night. "If we fail to educate coming generations, our democracy will go down hill," William. A. Early warned in a speech sponsored by the Duke Education Department and the campus chapters of Kappa Delta Pi, national education honor ary, fraternity, and the Future Teachers of America. Our unparalleled standard of living is the result of intelligent know-how of educated people "people who have gone through the schools of America," he said. "Any person who hinders Ameri can education is as great an enemy as any man with a gun on the battlefield,'" he said. Another issue, he said, is to get nough teachers to teach our rapidly-growing population. In 1953,he pointed out, about four million ba bies were born, almost double the birth rate before 1947. On the other hand, we have been Inemrf fnnnVi T-(r f ictor than wo turn them out. "Last year we needed 1 . . ' . . ,nnn . In answer to a telegram sent by 160.000," he said. LmxT u , P.

Even the nature of the uranium solu tion would stop an increase in activity if the control rods were completely removed. Every mo safety device and precution is incorporated in its design and ' operation. Things most people think of as issues in national education are not the real issues, Early pointed out. It's the job of the teachers t inform th "stockholders" of American education of the real is sues, he said.

Center Of Controversy Draft Book The Daily Tar Heel yesterday re ceived a carbon of the manu script of a book advertised in the paper Tuesday as giving the "ins and outs of the draft law" and "in formation on little known exemp tions, deferments, and other rights under the draft law." For the past few days letters have been sent to the editor cen suring the company which printed the book and the paper for print ing the ad. The book is printed by the Zota requesting a copy, a letter from the press said, "Our advertising campaign had such an unexpect edly large response, that we com pletely exhausted our first print ing . . . We are therefore unable to supply you with a copy of our booklet at the moment. Because of the special urgency of your case, we are enclosing a carbon copy of our original manuscript.'' Editor Rolfe Neill invited any one interestsd in seeirg the book (or at least the manuscript of it) to come; by the newspaper offices ' Faculties To Examine University Faculty members of the three units of the Consolidated Univer sity will gather here next Thurs day and Friday for the second in a series of conferences which President Gordon Gray feels "can become a vital part of our Uni versity." Gray said yesterday that during the past year he has felt the meet ings could be important to the University as channels "through which mature faculty judgment on basic academic issues and policies is expressed.5' "Speaking personally," Gray said, "reports similar to those made by the Conference last year would have been of great value to me when I came to the University in 1950. While these reports made no pretense of providing all the solu tions, they did state unequivocally the outlines of major needs and problems, and ' provided some ex cellent guides to the development of the three institutions." Theme of this second State of the University conference is "How Can the Consolidated University of North Carolina More Nearly Meet It's Full Responsilibity in the Areas of Instruction and Re search?" It will be considered as related to students through the sophomore year, as related to those above the sophomore year, and as related to continuation and exten sion of services. President Gray said the confer ences are "perhaps the most effec tive and clear-cut way in which the faculties may consider the cen tral work . of the University on strict academic and educational premises, and express themselves directly and specifically." He said the recommendations of last year's meetings have been considered formally and in detail by the administration, and that a review of the results of these. rec ommendations will be given to the opening session of the forthcoming conference. "With very few exceptions," Gray added, "steps have been tak en to activate these recommenda tions, where they were sufficient ly specific and the means were at hand. The broad policy recomitien dations have been seriously re ceived and form an important part of the background of our daily and long-range decisions." The faculty committee in charge of the conference this year -is composed of Prof. W. M. .Why burn, Chapel Hill, chairman; Prof. G. L. Simpson, Chapel Hill, secretary; Profs. C. O. Scarborough and W. A. Reid of State College; Profs. Laura G. Anderson and Warren AshLy, Woman's College; and Profs. A. G. Engstrom and S. B. Knight, Chapel Hill. Received on second floor, Graham Memor ial. Richard J. Stox, in a letter to the editor printed Wednesday, said he was "shocked to come across an advertisement which suggested that for the small price of $1 a person might be made aware of certain little nints which would make it easier to obtain an exemp tion from the draft. What 1 think of the company that has the nerve to publish trash of this type would be unprintable, but what I think of the newspaper which accepts this type of advertising should be." On the same day a letter from Martin Roeder stated that he was "incapab!e of understanding the reluctance srown by our present young men toward their obliga tions." The ad said that the book con tains chapters on "all disqualifying physical and mental defect?, what is limited service, and who is eligible for it, all 47 exemptions and deferments, students' rights, how to deal with the local board, appeals, medical examiners, little hints that make a difference, how to get a discharge from military service, etc."
