"The dream of returning to Zion, to the Holy Land of Pales tine," he said, began in the year 586 "when the Jews were exiled from their land and their soil put to waste. "The exiles then pledged them selves, If I forget thee, O Jeru salem, let myv right hand forget its cunning. Let my tongue cleave to my mouth if I remember thee not. " The return to the land of Zion, he said, has beerr a long road full hardships, tribulations and suf ferings. He reminded those who equate Zionism with Communism that the Arab states, not Israel, con cluded a weapons agreement with Russia and Czechoslovakia. "Is rael, on the other hand, flatly re fused any arms from these na tions because she is akin to the West in thought and ideals."

"Israel is willing to help re settle thee imsigranjts," he said while the Arab nations "have made little effort" along the same lines.

IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT ii ff vwgms EDITOR'S NOTE: The fol lowing article is the last in a series dealing with the term, "interposition' which is cur rently coming into- the light as a result of the Supreme Court's ruling on segregation in the public schools. It was made av ailable to The Daily Tar Heel by the Associated Press, and is aooearing ir The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch. - ' By L. M. WRIGHT JR. Richmond Times-Dispatch Staff Writer RICHMOND, Va. (IP) A resolu tion of interposition as a means of delaying, at least for a while, the enforcement of the U. S. Su preme Court's ruling against com pulsory segregation in schools will k orfvncated strongly in the Vir- KU T v , ginia General Assembly session that opened this weeK. Other states where, .interposi tion is being given serious con sideration include oeorgia, -dec;! Tuisiana and South Ca- rolina. Georgia's Legislature has By NEIL BASS The student Legislature, after an hour c stormy debate laejt night, slapped down a proposal, 34 to 1, to reinstate The Daily Tar Heel "editorship salary to last year's figure. The 19th assembly Legislature cut the editor's salary in haif from $600 to $300. The proposal was made in a Publications Board report which stated: "Approval has been granted to allow The Daily Tar Heel to re vert to a six-day-a-week basis pro vided that the editors salaries are raised to last year's figure.' The Publications Board has the authority to re-establish the six day printing basis. The Legisla ture voted on whether or not to raise the editorship salaries, ac fion which comes under its juris diction. The reason given by the editors in a prepared statement read by Speaker Jack Stevens for refusing to print a six-day paper unless the salaries were raised to last year's $600 figure was: "We have come to a sorry state of affairs on this campus whe students refuse to debate issues and resort to economic pressure." The editors contended both were present at the session that their salary was cut for "political reasons" and because some of the 19th assembly legislators disa greed with the paper's "editorial pfolicy." " Thus, they said, ifwasa matter of "principle", to demand salary reinstatement. . Two legislators Tom Lambeth (Student Party) and Lewis Brum field (SP) acknowledged that they felt the original cut was made as "retribution" for the paper's editorial policy. . The argument swung, during the session's course, from "whether or not the $600 editorship salary should be reinstated" to "whether or not the editors should get any salary at all. , Ullman Book Featured .

Whether interposition will be advocated in Virginia as a com panion to Gray Education Com mission proposals or as a substi tute for any more action on the school front at this time is not clear now. It seems more likely it will be advocated by a majority of its legislative supporters as an ad junct to Gray Commission recom mendations. What effect interpo sition might have on the time sc hedule for consideration of Gray Commission plans also is uncer tain now. PAMPHLET While the doctrine, of interposi tion is almost as old as the Union itself, it apparently was first men tioned as a possible weapon in the segregation-intergration contro versy by William Old, a Chester field attorney, in a pamphlet he distributed last summer. Widespread attention was attrac ted to interposition when in one of the most intensive and concer- I ted editorial efforts in recent years 1 s Chapel Hill Attorney To Head New Program . r John T. Manning (left) Chapel Hill and Durham attorney ar established here. Discussing plans with Manning is Chancellor law, has been named chairman of a new "Bequest Program" just - Robert House. 'Bequest Program Started A "Bequest Program" remem bering the University in last wills and testaments has been estab lished here, with John T. Man ning, attorney here and at Dur ham, as chairman, Chancellor Robert House said yesterday. . Describing the program as "one of the Universities largest ' poten tial sources of monies among fund-raising activities" Univer sity officials said the bequest or ganization is similar to plans in many" other colleges and " univer sities. Manning, whose grandfather headed the University Law School in the late 19th century and whose father was dean of the Medical School, this week accepted the chairmanship of the program and made arrangements for a limited volunteer alumni organization which will later be extended over the state and among the Univer sity alumni and friends generally. "The Bequest Program will al low a greater number of alumni and friends to make vital contri butions to the University,", Man ning said. The program is the newest phase of the University's Develop ment activities and will be a long range effort to supplement the in come received by the University from legislative' appropriations and student fees. Manning is a graduate of the University's class of 1933 and the law class of 1936. JUST STARTED; a n Eyss Air T By FRED POWLEDGE The doctrine of interposition grows largerand larger. Interposition defined arbitrarily as the right of a state to veto "deliberate, palpable and dangerous exercise of other powers not granted" to the Fedral government is being talked about in Virginia right now. The question comes from Virginia Resolution of 1798. "Other powers" are those not agreed to by the states as being possesi-ed by the federal government. PRESENT-DAY Present-day politicians feel the doctrine 1 means 'the Supreme Court decision of 1954, declaring segregation in public schools unconstitutional, would be unenforcable without approval of three fourths of the states That approval, if it ever to come, would have to come m the form of a Constitutional amendment, they say. The Virginia Legislature this week started off a 60-day session, two days after Old Dominion voters approved, by , a two-to-one margin, a play calling for a convention to consider amending the state constitution. - Virginia Gov. Thomas B. Stanley, according to wire reports, (See VIRGINIA'S INTERPOSITION, page 4.) f r SAYS DR. WILLIAM E. REED: Sh oviers eateries I A North Carolina agricultural leader, recently returned from a 37-day, 12,00-mile tour of t h e Soviet Union told his audience last night that "the majority, of the people in the Soviet Union nave faith in Communism be cause they have had no opportun ity to learn any other faith, but ' aa literate people, they are be ginning to want more of the ma terial things of life." ' Dr.: William E. Reed, dean of; the School of Agriculture at A&T College in Greensboro, gave an illustrated public lecture, sponsored by the University Eng lish Club. Last summer Dr. Reed was one of the 12 representatives who participated i n a State Dept. sponsored t our of Russia. He showed a film on "Inside Russia" which was made during their tour and prepared by the Un iversity of Nebraska audiovisual laboratory. With regard to Soviet agricul- Watch That Ladder It's Friday 13th What you shouldn't do today: Walk under ladders, break mir rors, allow black cats to cross your path or light three cigarets on one match. It's Friday the 13th, a day known in superstitious circles as a very unlucky day. 17 omonion, M - v -SSt owing Things O ture, Dr. Reed said, "there is al most an unlimited possibility of improvement, just as it is still virtually unlimited in the Un ited States. The 450 million acres of land now under cultivation re present only about eight percent of the total land area." Dr. Reed suggested that "the idea that bigness always makes f or higher efficiency should be ' dispelled" if Russian agriculture - is to improve,. He said smaller . farm units would no doubt be more productive in certain areas. FOOD VALUE He cited the poor handling of fruits and vegetables, of which "fully 50 percent of the food val ue is lost because of faulty me thods of harvesting, distribution and marketing." He saw no quick , frozen food products in the U.S. S.R., he added. Dr. Reed visited the "so-called new lands" in Siberia and North Kazakhstan, which he termed "a potential spring wheat growing area comparable to Western Can ada." He discussed, the Soviet Un ion's "universal system of ed ucation that begins a t an ex tremely early age," and is com pulsory through grade seven and in some areas through grade 10. Dr. Reed noted that the peo ple seen in Moscow streets "in general look very much like peo ple in America. Both the United States and the Soviet Union have 0 SOT James J. Kilpatrick, Richmond News Leader editor, began in late November to discuss it editorially and reprint resolutions from the past. The News Leader editor urged a resolution of interposition be adopted by the special Assembly session which met Nov. 30. Gray Commission members, after con sidering the theory, decided to wait. Whether the commission it self will recommend interposition to the regular session is not clear. At any rate, State Sen. Harry Stuart of Elk Garden has said he would introduce an interposition resolution. He hopes to secure enough co-patrons on the resolu tion to assure its passage when it is introduced .x STAND N One proposed resolution would declare; "That the State' of Virgin ia has at no time surrendered to the general federal government its right to maintain racially sparate schools or other public facilites. "That the State of Virginia, in ratifying the Fourteenth Amend ment under compulsion, did not Wan ! 1 i .V,., t For been referred to as the two great melting pots, neither having a uniform people." Throughout the tour Dr. Reed noticed that Vthe great majority of the people in both city and farms 1 i v e in small crowded apartments or homes with the with the bare minimum of es sential personal effects. While the level of living of the people was extremely low as compared t p jVmerican., s tandards, : L. saw n ov poverty," he added. Commenting on the "increase in levity and friendliness" be tween the American and Soviet members of the tour, Dr. Reed . related that in Stalingrad's Cin ema Theatre, which has a 16-ton steel curtain for fire protection, a Soviet interpreter commented as the curtain was rising: "We are lifting the iron curtain." $30,000 Offered For Carl Sandburg's Library CHICAGO, Jan. 12 'tfl Carl Sandburg's library a massive col lection of Lincolniana, . poetry, manuscripts, letters and first edi tion books will be purchased by the University of Illinois, it was announced today. The University of Illinois Foun dation, an alumni fund-raising group, allocated $30,000 for the purchase of the collection now housed in Sandberg's home in Flat Rock, N. C. agree, nor did other states ratify ing the Fourteenth Amendment agree, that the power to operate racially separated schools and other facilities was to be prohibit ed to them thereby . . . ." The resolution would say the state "explicitly denies that the Supreme. Court had the right as serted in its said decision, to en large the language and meaning of the compact in an effort to withdraw from the states powers reserved to them and daily exer cised by them for almost a cen tury." To settle the dispute, the resolu tion would call on Congress t o propose an amendment to the fe deral Constitution which "would declare, in plain and unequivocal Ulanguage, that the states do sur render their power to maintain public schools, and other public facilities, on a basis of "separation as to race; and that if three-fourths of the states assent to such amendment of our compact, Vir ginia agrees it w i 1 1 be bound thereby." (See VIRGINIA, page 4.) Life on Tempers flared at the Inter- dormitory Council meeting thLs week over the delegation and con trol of council funds. The two sides of the controver sy were: (1) That the centra! IDC Social Committee should retain $1,000 of total for distribution. (2) That the individual dormi tories should have the full $2,00r) to spend at their discretion. The second . idea was the fore most plank in President Lewis Brumfield's campaign platform. It was the system used by the coun cil during the fall semester. Two of the council's officers, Treasurer Ray Long and Social Chairman Sonny Hallford, object ed to this system, saying it had not been successful because of social inactivity among some of the dormitories. The Social Com mittee must have the funds in or der to arouse "interest and life" among the dormitories, Hallford said. Thus Hallford proposed revert ing back to the system of centra! funds delegation utilized before the administration of President Brumfield. Long backed him up throughout the session. Due, however, to the strong argument voiced by several coun cil members, the matter was tabl ed until thejiext session, to be held at the beginning of the spring se mester. The council did stamp- approval, however, on a bill authorizing the purchase of telephones- for dormi tory floors now without them. The bill calls for: (1) The purchase of telephones by-.dormitories desiring them, tho money to come out of the dorms own funds if possible. (2) The purchase of telephones by the central council for individ ual dormitories that can't afford the purchase themselves. The council also thras-hed out the idea of installing minature pool tables in the dormitories, and de cided to sanction the idea if it meets administration approval. Manuscripts Must Be in By Jan. 7 Manuscripts to be entered in he original play contest spon sored by the Carolina Dramatis ssn. must be submitted by Jan. 24, according to John W.
