U.!!.C. LI BR AH Y SERIALS DEPT. BOX 870 (Li Cj Pjl!li? u - Jf' ; Soviet'. n LOSS! Compiled by The Daily Tar Heel From Short Wave and Racfto Reports Russia suggested last night that she and the United States join forces to stop the fighting in Egypt. The suggestion, in a letter from Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin to President Eisenhower, was killed by the United Nations. When Russia attempted to place the suggestion on the UN's Security Council agenda, four countries voted against it Britain, France, Australia and the United States. Russia's plan would send U.SJS.R. and American sea and air forces into the Egyptian area to settle the war there. White House spokesmen called the plan "unthinkable." Meanwhile, across the world, Britain and France have agreed fo stop military action against Egypt as soon as a United Nations truce force is accepted by Egypt and Israel. ) Egypt immediately agreed to the idea, according to reports from the United Nations. Israel said ail fighting between her and Egypt in the Sinai Desert irea has ceased. Britain announced she had ended all bombing on Egyptian soil. - The White House, in its answer to the Bulganin letter, said Russia has an obligation to withdraw her troops from Hungary be fore trying to settle the Middle East's problems. In Egypt, English and French soldiers were reported poised off Tort Said. The port itself was reported taken by Anglo-French para troopers. v Arab sabateurs were said tc have cut off one-half of the Middle Eastern oil supply. Experts said one-fourth of the world's oil pro duction was threatened. i - , ( 'j i - , - THE COOLING MIDDLE EAST THE SEETHING HUNGARY AREA Z Mi n t a if r9 laoce t i , - - U L ft p u 1 H WEATHER Partly cloudy and mild with ex petted high of 68. VOL. LVII NO. 40 UP Fills Vacancies In Slate The University Party held its last meeting before the coming elections of Nov. 13, filling four vacancies caused by" the withdraw al of candidates and introducing three new bills to the members. The appointments made by Chairman Mike Weinman to fill the vacancies were voted on and approved. Weinman appointed Henry Bodenheimer to fill the vacancy in Dorm I, Val Von Am nion in Town Women, and Jack Lewis and Jerry Cole in Town I. The three new bills, which al ready had been introduced to the Student Legislature by Chairman Weinman were: 1.) To establish a committee to look into the establishment c parking lots for the students. 2. ) To establish a committee to look for a new place to hold the Honor Council's meetings. 3. ) To provide $400 to the Daily Tar Heel, in order, to set up an in- ternational news wire. Before the meeting was adjourn ed. Chairman Weinman gave the party a brief "pep talk" in prepa ration for the elections next Tues day. "If you work, I promise you'll win, but if you don't work and jwst put up posters and bulletins, I promise you'll lose," Weinman said. After the meeting was adjourn ed at 8:30 Weinman made some statements concerning his recent withdrawal as floor leader in the Student Legislature, attacking students who had claimed there was ill will between him and the new UP floor leader, Benny Thomas. "The charges are fantastic, I "never heard of such a thing," Weinman said. "The talk about there being a riff between Benny and me is ridiculous," Weinman said. "I felt wrong about being both chairman and floor leader," Weinman added.

NORTH CAROLINA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1956 j i if lllf 3 1 .1 - , r I 1 taridmarlc " Moved To Arboretum University employes yesterday hauled away the horse trough that had stood unused for many years before the University Methodist Church in the East Franklin Street business district. Lt was moved to a site behind Ihe Chapel of the Cross at the northwest corner of the Coker Arboretum. The trough was erected in 1918 for the hundreds of horses that came through Chapel Hill pulling wagons and carriages. It was built as a memorial to Susan Williams Graham, wife of former Univer sity President Edward Kidder Graham. Mrs. Graham's son, Edward Kidder Graham. Jr. until recently chancellor of the Woman's College in Grensboro, is now dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Boston University. As horses disappeared from the streets of Chapel Hill and the number of cars increased, . the watering trough stood unused and unnoticed by all but the owners of automobiles whose front fend WXC OWAdbVAlVU fcJf lilt j.wvv ing edge of the monument. ? The University Buifdings and Grounds Committee, headed by , Dr. H. R. Totten of the Botany De- j partment. decided on the rear en- j trance of the Episcopal Church as a new location for the trough. In selecting the site, the commit tee considered Mrs. Graham's de voted services to the church. Although the inscription on the monument reads, "The waters of truth flow freelv; drink when and where you may,' no animals but birds will now have access to the trough, and even they will have water only when it rains.

Offices in Graham Memorial concerning the change in plans for the trophy, "I feel this plan is much fairer for all residential groups concerned. It is not right for fraternities and sororities to compete against dormitories. "I think that both groups will have a much better chance at winning the trophy. I feel that the idea of a rotating trophy will stimulate competition and will also give more residences a chance to possess the trophy for at least one year," he said. ' e "I would like to challenge each dormitory, sorority and fraternity to cooperate 100 percent in this drive. All the organizations bene fitting from it are certainly worthy and this is our one oppor tunity .to participate in all these 'programs. . . . . - ".I am confident the drive, will more than, reach its goal," he said.. - to be 135 m.p.h. within 60 miles of the center and hurricane force winds 75 miles an hour and up extend 140 miles in the northern semicircle and 200 miles in the southern senicircle," said the Weather Bureau.
