' (Fred Powledge Photo) Lambefh Comments On Tar Heel Tom Lambeth, Student Party en-, dorsee for editor of The Daily Tar Heel, has released a statement commenting an the paper's circula tion and sports coverage. "Throughout the year, as Chair man of the Publications Board, I have been concerned with the re curring problems, involving circu lation of the DTH," said yester day's statement. Lambeth noted that on at least five occasions he has talked to the Publications Board concerning im proving circulation of The Daily Tar Heel ' V -w ... : ', - - ' ' He said Fred Powledge, his opt ponent in the campaign, was pres ent at one of these meetings and was informed after several others.

Lambeth noted that for two years Some y 70 students and faculty Jeaders from UNC are attending the sixth annual YWCA YMCA Christian Conference being held .this weekend at the Congregation al, Conference Center at Bricks.

Main speaker for the weekend is Dr. John A.

The title is as yet undecided. ' Russell, author of eight books, said today , that his biography of Jefferson was based on a new con ception that Jefferson was not a radical 'or subverter or idol-smasher, but an upholder of ancient English liberties: and that Jef ferson wished to see these ancient libeities extended and brought up to dale in a new setting in a fresh and vigorous America. Russell added that in all Jef ferson's writings' he used the word "democracy" or "democratic" only three times, and that all the evi dence indicated that Jefferson was primarily, a republic-man; that is, he wished to see America cut it self off from a decaying -European feudalism and strike out on new but well indicated paths that would lead the civilized world up ward to a new stage of life. Though giving due attention to Jefferson .as statesman, Russell said his book would show the great Southerner in his other roles as farmer, naturalist, horseman, hor ticulturist, inventor, dairyist, home lover, and ladies' man. Some of Jefferson's friendships with bril liant European women and his cor respondence with them are fully described. His book, Russell said, would be handsomely produced by Dodd Mead and copiously illustrated. Included will be a new portrait of Jefferson found in an Italian' con vent for girls.

A threat and a promise. The threat of atomic radia tion to the world. The promise of the United Nations and of a World Community. The are the challenging topics that Dr. Ralph E. Lapp, physicist recently returned from the Ge neva Atoms for Peace Confer ence, and Dr. Frank P. Graham will discuss during the Wednes day night session of the Caro lina Symposium. These are the signs of the atomic era. Over ten years have passed since that August day in 1945 when Hiroshima, Japan, was nearly destroyed by an atomic blast. The ashes and rubble that marked the Japanese city then heralded an' uinrlarailleled sav agery in the art of warfare. Al though Hiroshima today is large "ly rebuilt, scars remain of his tory's first atomic explosion used against man. Foundations of bombed out buildings were still evident as late as, 1953. MONUMENT "Hiroshima, is a monument to the beginning of the atomic age, but even as it is a monument to destructiveness, it is, too, a mon ument to progress. In the dec ade since Hiroshima, the United States has' turned more and more to the peaceful utilization of atomic energy. A recent seminar at Chapel Hill'-on the public health im plications of the. nuclear power industry stressed this nation's need for nuclear power and the necessity of the states assuming the share of the responsibility for administering a peacetime atomic program. Henry J. Rechen of the Radiological Health Branch, U. S. Public Health Service, Washington, told the seminar that "the nuclear power indus try, which now exists only as our greatest national experiment should receive every encourage ment that it can be given, finan cially and legally." "By the end of another genera tion," he warned, "the depletion of oil and gas reserves in this nation may be so serious that coal will have returned as our principal source of industrial power." PEACEFUL USES Rechen pointed out that as the competitive picture becomes more favorable to nuclear power, expansion into fields other than the generation of electric power will follow. "These include food sterilization, space heating, chemical processing, and civilian mobile power sources," he said. He also discussed the prob lem of nuclear reactor wastes, and their "potential effects upon the public health, which place a severe limitation on the free dom of operation of nuclear in- Di And Phi The Di and the hi will go to Greensboro tomorrow night to par ticipate in a debate with a new debating society at Woman's Col lege. It was reported earlier by The Daily Tar Heel that the two or ganizations would go Tuesday night. ' However, the correct day is to morrow night, according to Steve Moss, Di Senate Member. Exum Says He Looks Toward Big Campaign "I am looking forward to an ex tensive campaign," Jim Exum, University Party choice for presi dent of the student body, an nounced yesterday. "I plan to visit and meet as many students as possible," Exum said. Exum plans, according to his campaign manager John Curtis, an extensive visitation of dormitories, fraternities and sororities. Morehead Winners Gleeful As Results Are Announced stallations." Rechen stressed that "a new group of public health admini strators, physicians and engi neers must grow up with the in dustry, to provide sensible and foresighted protection for the public health." In fact panelists at the Nu clear Power Seminar in Chapel Hill called for immediate ac tion by the states toward super vision of power uses in indus try to supplement Federal con trol of radiation use. Mrs. Clara M. Beyer, associate director of the Bureau of Labor Standards in Washington, warn ed that "if "the states are to en ter the program of atomic energy supervision, it must be done now. "If von wait five vears," she continued, "the Federal Gov ernment will have set up staff members throughout the na tion. It is now time for the in dividual states to acquire their embryonic staffs and to demon strate their competency in radia tion regulation." STATE PARTICIPATION Dr. Donald Chadwick, U. S. Public Health official from Con-, cinnati', emphasized that the AEC could not cover the whole program of' nuclear power in industry, "for It also has short . ages of personnel and funds. A real need for state participa tion exists," he said. Afterwards, Mr. Rechen told the panel that "there will be no fight over radiation supervision, but rather a dovetailing of state and Federal activities," He add ed that the AEC wants the states to take the initiative in equip ping themselves for the job. Just how far the peacetime use of -atomic energy is progressing is indicated by the fact that the first atomic energy reactor spc cificaly designed for medical treatment is under construction at the University of California in L03 Angeles. ' The reactor is being built by North American Aviation, Inc.. and will be completed in about a year. MEDICAL SCIENCE According to Dr. Stafford L. Warren, Dean of the U.C.L.A. Medical School, the new reactor "will give medical science a pow erful new tool for research and cancer therapy." In the state of California albne, two atomic reactors arc already in operation and a third, designed to be operated as a part of the AEC's program to develop economical production of elec tricity from atomic energy, will go into operation next year. All of these wt.e built by North American. The same com pany is building another for the Armour Research Foundation of Chicago, which will be completed this spring. This reactor will be used for a wide variety, of re search in the industrial field. (See ATOMIC, Page 4) March Birthdays? By CHARLES DUNN The "waiting period" began early for candidates for the John Motley Morehead" Scholarships last Wednesday afternoon. Thirty-five young men had been asked. to return at 3 j.m. when the new Morehead Scholars would be announced. They came early, and began the long wait. They milled around, talking about their schools, shooting bull about things in general, admiring the military uniforms of several hoys from preparatory schools, and every minute or so glancing at their watches, or asking the boy next to them "how much long er." Tension built up. The place was heavy with suspense. 'Then the candidates were call ed into the building. Several rush ed right in. Some paused to tight en a tie, and pull down a coat. A few wished their buddies luck. Inside the selection room, they stood in a line, looking into the faces of the trustees of the More head Foundation, headed by John Motley Morehead himself. The pressure was on. It was like Do you feel alone in crowds? Did someone forget your birth day last year?
