PL Bristling with confidence, Harold MacmiUlan took over as Prime Minister last night and set the stage for early talks with President Eisenhower to heal the rift in British-American relations. v ' " There were indications the ; White House .was .ducting off the 'welcome' mat denied Sir Anthony Eden after the Suez invasion. High Washington officials said Macmillan will be welcome whenever he decides to visit Eisenhower, a longtime friend. Macmillan served notice he . will not call national elections, as the Labor Party has demanded. But iWseems' certain there will be a shakeup in the conservative cabinet. ' ; President Eisenhower Calls For American Unity WASHINGTON UP) President Eisenhower -1 " American people yesterday to- stiii'i 'Viriirac guarr," against ev-r-threatening inflation at home, and the menace abroad ci "armed im perialistic dictatorship." - Reporting to Congress and the country on the State of the Union at this moment in history, Eisenhower urged business and labor lead ers to "think-well on their responsibility to the American people'' and go easy on price and wage boosts that could increase inflationary pres sures. "The national interest," he said, "must take precedence over temporary advantages which may be secured' by particular groups at the expense of all the people." . While the pursuit of human liberty, welfare and progress "has brought us to an unprecedented peak in our economic prosperity," the President said, the danger of inflation "is always present.' On the international scene, he said, the existence of a strongly armed imperialistic dictatorship is a continued' threat to the security and peace of the free world and "thus to our own." Ameriaa, he said, cannot stand "alone and isolated." - He took' a sort of mellow, moderate, unspectacular approach to problems and issues of the day. For solutions, hG pretty much stood pat on things he has recommended in the past. There were brief warmedsover bids for such things as a school con struction bill,. civil rights legislation, and the authority requested only last Saturday to use American troops, if need be, against any Com- rmunist aggression in the Mid-East There were passing allusions administration of justice, a postal rate boost, development of natural resources, amending the labor laws, public works. Eisenhower called briefly, too, for: A law granting permanent entry to Hungarian refugees, authori ty for the United States to join the organization for trade cooperation, approval of full U. S. participation in the International Atomic Energy Agency, and an, appreciable increase in funds for the U. S. informa tion agency. Syrian Government Renounces Ike Policy DAMASCUS fiP) Syria'- government yesterday declared its "deep-rooted belief" that maintenance of peace and security in the Middle-East is "solely the responsibility of the people of this area." The government issued a statement on President . Eisenhower's speech on Middle-East policy to the V. S. Congress, saying Syria re jects "the theory of a" power vaccum in the Middle-East." It- described as "serious" Eisenhower's request for stand-by authority to send U. S. troops against aggression in the area. . It asserted there is no Communist threat in Syria. , - The Syrian statement, however, welcomed the Eisenhower an nouncement of "American all-out support of full sovereignty and the com pi ejte independence of Middle-East nations." -J. setting up a committee composed to searph Out the. facts 'apywhere it mwsiMP..

Horn has resigned. This was learned Thursday by The Daily Tar Heel from several top officials of the University who refused to let their names be made public. Dr. Horn's resignation will be handed to a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Hoard of Trustees next week. Until then, the University will not release information on his leaving. Dr. Horn resigned for "personal reasons." It was not known w hat those reasons were. Questioned yesterday about reports of his resignation, Dr. Horn said a University regulation requires that all such information come from the chancellor, not from the per son resigning.

However, it was known that tne resignation will be considered at tne Executive Committee meeting next week. There was speculation Dr. Horn resigned out of despair -because the state Legislature cut Library appropriations in half for the present biennium (This was done two years ago). But reports from other quarters said his resignation came purely for personal reasons.
