Britain has said before she will keep her armed forces in Egypt until they are replaced by a United Nations truce team. Meanwhile in Soviet-dominated Hungary, rebels were reported still fighting back at the Russians, who early Sunday turned as they were leaving the country and took it over again in a bath of blood. Men, women and 'children were fighting the Russians with every weapon they could find. The situa tion was described as "utter con fusion and chaos."

' 1 . Judge VVUliani , S. ; Stewart in Recorder's Court found -Hose a Wil son, 21, guilty of reckless driving, speeding, and making an improper turn, and fined the defendant $50 and court costs after he pleaded guilty to all three charges. Wilson was acquitted on a drunken driv ing charge, to which he pleaded not guilty. It was shortly after Wilson was arrested on the evening of last April 16 that a group of University fraternity students descended on the police station and committed sev eral acts of vandalism. In. the en suing investigation a group known as the "Ugly Club" was disbanded, end its "Ugliest," Louie Woodbury ! Wilmington,- and two other mem bers, were fined for the police sta tion vandalism. ' - In the Wilson case Police Patrol man Howard Pendergraph testified that he and Patrolman Amos Home were parked on E. Franklin St., shortly after being called to break up a "jungle party" staged by Uni versity students at the American Le gjon Hut. The time was shortly after 11 p.m. Patrolman Pendergraph told the court that WUson's car passed them headed west on E. Franklin St., go ing at a high rate of speed, and narrowly missing several collisions in the vicinity of the postoffice. He said they pursued the speeding car Johns Hopkins Prof Talks On Magna Carta Prof. Sidney Painter of John Hopkins University will present an address Thursday on the long range importance of the Magna Carta. His talk will be given in Car roll Hall at 8 p.m. The lecture will be sponsored by the Graduate History Club in association with Graham Memori al Student Union and Phi Alpha Theta, honorary history fraterni ty. Prof. Painter is one of the fore most authorities on the political and social organization of the medieval world. In his lecture he will speak of the idea of individ ual liberty, which grew up in me dieval England and was embodied in the famous Magna Carta.

Cairo radiomen reported Tues day was the first night in a week without air raids from British bombers. But also in the Middle East, British and French armed forces were reported to have moved into Ismalia, an Egyptian city halfway down the Suez Canal. Cairo Radio reported Saudi Ara bian armed units had moved into Jordan. Saudi Arabia-has broken diplomatic relations with France and Britain, the report said. Earlier in the day, Britain and France received letters from Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulgain calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East. Shortly afterward Anglo-French action ceased in the Suez area.

' Wilson was the driver, the patrol man said, and appeared to he under the influence of an intoxicating beverage. There were three other passengers in the car. , Testifying in his own behalf, Wil son said he and his passengers had just left their date's for the even ing at a sorority house and did not know they were speeding, and thought the U-turn would be all right that late at night. Wilson pre sented the Danville police chief as a character witness. . Band's Former Director Slocurn Can Watch From Sidelines Now By 80B MYERS Whether the UNC Band is going through the intricate routines of a halltime football show or giving a concert, Professor Earl Slocum is relaxed. For the first time in 23 years, the veteran director, who retired recently, can sit back and enjoy the offerings of an organization he headed for so many years. Retiring in order to divide his time between the North Carolina Symphony and a full schedule of classes in music theory and ap plied music, Slocum has turned his versatile baton over to Herbert W. Fred. T4ie new director, who has arranged programs given by the marching band this fall, is cur rently working on a Ph.D. degree in musicology. Through the efforts of Slocum, the band has developed into one of the finest in the South. It is fitting that dn his retirement this year the band has reached a peak in membership and performance. The marching band has new uni forms, first in 28 years and was alloted $6,000 for repair of instru ments and other improvements. Completing the "new look" cycle is Fred, 36-year-old native of Eveleth, Minn, whoe qualifications have been recognized by Slocum: "I have had many happy years with the University Band. I'm so glad to see it in the hands of a man as capable as Mr. Fred is," the outgoing director said. Professor Slocum recalls ' many k 9 i CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1 Republican Trend Never Slows Down FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES President D wight Eisenhower was voted hack into ofl ice Tuesday. . The American -public gave the Republican Chief Ex ecutive and Vice President : Richard Nixon a tremendous vote of confidence over Democratic Presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson and his running mate, Estes Kefauver. It will be Eisenhower's second term in the White" House. It was a shoo-in for Eisenhower all the way. The Ike trend started early yesterday evening when Connecticut turned out a land slide for the Republican candidate. By 8:45 p.m. EST, after one mil lion votes had been counted, the White House was reported "happy.'; It continued happy until the counting was virtually complete. Stevenson conceded th election to Eisenhcwer at approxi mately 1:20 this morning. He Slid in a telegram to the President "tonight we are not Democrats and Republican we are all Ameri cans." l Several states startled balloting analysts when they turned more than the usual number of votes toward Eisenhower. In North Caro lina, with more than one-half of the precincts reporting, the vote was 352,318 for Stevenson, and 295,822 for Eisenhower an un usually close margin for the traditionally solid Democratic Tar Heel state. , , RALEIGH UPi Gov. Hodges and other state officials won easy Victories over their Republican opponents as returns trickled in slow ly last night from Tuesday's general election. Indications we're that fine , fall weather and interest in the i presidential race, had i brought j out a big vote and that the job of ' counting the ballots would bej a long-drawn-out process. However, the early returns gave lopsided leads to the governor and other Democratic state officials, and their election was assured. RALEIGH 'JP U. S. Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr. of Morganton swept to victory i" a& expected over Republican Joel Johnson of Four Oaks in Tuesday's general election. , - . ' Caravan Tickets To Be Sold ?

There are approximately 100 tickets left, according to commit tee Chairman Harry House, and they will be on sale at least for one more day. . hours of preparation which go in to each public appearance of the marching band, and the experi ences relative to his long tenure of service.

A check with the ticket office in Woollen Gym yesterday showed "several hundred" tickets to the game had been sold up to that time. as the retiring director knows well. After a concert in New York, Professor Slocum told the band members to check their instru ments at Penn Station before go ing downtown. Returning to Chapel Hill, the di rector discovered that the instru ments had been checked at the station by "leaving them on the nearest baggage cart." Fortunate ly, through phone calls and rail road management,' the misplaced brass found its way back home. And some of the bandsmen found the novel escalators so ! fanciful that they almost missed the return trip7. In addition to other duties, Pro fessor Slocum has been appointed director of instrumental music by Dr. Glen Haydon, head of the .UNC Music Dept. Director Fred, assisted by Bert Davis and Calvin Huber, has pub lished several works and is an out standing composer, arranger, and conductor. The new director, associated with military and college bands since 1942 can vouch for the trials of a director charged with the problems of 90 people. Fred re calls accompanying the band to last year's Oyster Bowl game at Norfolk, Va., and the one member who left his cap at Chapel Hill. A quick phone call put the cap on the next bus and it arrived in time for. the fellow to play the National Anthem in full dress and without embarrassment.

F. Jenzano aid Tues day in regard to the process. 'Explaining that limestone was porous, he pointed out the diffi culty in cleaning and added that due to the circumstances he could not estimate just how long it would take to remove the paint. BRICKS A pile of bricks over by Carroll Hall is another item on the build ing agenda. Sitting off to themselves at the present, the bricks will be used to. build walkways to replace the gravel walks, according to J. S. Bennett, director of operations. "This is a year-to-year process," Bennett reported, "in which new brick walks replace the old gravel ones, completing a few each year." For Old East the new semester means a new top on the chimney of the dorm. The old top is being replaced by new bricks and new cement. Students coming in and out of the Library were a little puzzled this week to notice the conglom eration of iron rails which led on lookers to believe Kenan Stadium was being expanded and later aft er the rails had been connected that perhaps the library was going to receive a steam bath. NEW NAME But, on looking into the matter, Isaac T. Littleton, assistant librari an, explained the rails are for workers who are putting the li brary s name on the building. Now known as the Louis Round Wilson Library, the building was named for Dr. Wilson, who was head librarian from 1901-1932 and is presently teaching library sci ence here and writing a history of the University. Elsewhere, flourescent lights are being, put into a number of cam pus buildings. Other operation plans were dis cussed yesterday when operation officials and architects met to dis cuss final plans for new dormi tories to be added to the campus.

The boys, Johnnie Vickers and Pat Burns Jr., both 19, were con victed after a four-hour trial be fore Judge William S. Stewart. A Halloween affray brought the charges from two University stu dents Robert Ward and William Winters against Vickers and Burns. ' Two other boys involved in the fight, Tommie Burns and Ronnie Vick, were found not guilty. Sgt. Coy Durham of the Chapel Hill police dept. said the two UNC students told him they were walk ing past a local drug store through a large group of boys when one of them was hit by a wad of pa per. The students were "jumped" by some of those in the group, Sgt. Durham was told. Vickers was fined $50 and costs, and Burns appealed to Superior Court, to be held, in December.

The past two years attest to that. During the last three months he has traveled thousands of miles and delivered 35 speeches, many of which were in behalf of his candidacy and other Democratic candidates. It was on Nov. 9, 1954, that Hodges, then lieutenant governor, became governor following the death of Gov. William B. Umstead. His business career was marked with the success of a Horatio Al ger story. He began as a mill hand and retired as vice president -of Marshall Field & Co. His major accomplishment as governor has been his vigorous campaign for adoption of the Pear sall Plan aimed at preserving seg regation in the public schools. The advisory committee on edu cation, which studied the segregation-issue and recommended the Pearsall plan, was created by the 1955 Legislature and appointed by L 6 ,. , .
