UN Ambassador
Demo Leader Delaying
Decision Until Next Week
WASHINGTON (UPI) President-elect John F.
Kennedy Thursday asked Adlai E. Stevenson to join his
administration as next U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations, and Stevenson indicated he might accept.
He said, however, that he first wanted to consider
matters connected with the assignment, including the
question of whether he could draft certain people he felt
were needed to strengthen the U.S. delegation.
"I have not accepted it (the nomination) pending a
further talk," the two-time Democratic presidential can
didate told reporters from the steps of Kennedy's George
town home, where he had con
ferred privately with the presi
dent-elect for 65 minutes.
Kennedy said he would meet
with Stevenson for a final de
cision before the end of next
week. Reporters who talked
with the two got the impres
sion at least that Stevenson was
on the verge of accepting. .
The 60-year-old former Illi
nois . governor also had been
mentioned prominently as a
possibility for secretary of state
But Kennedy associates said
some time ago that Kennedy
was thinking more in terms of
the U.N. ambassador's job.
Kennedy Elevates Position
Kennedy made it clear that
Stevenson, if he took the job,
would be one of the top foreign
policy officials in the new ad
ministration. I regard this as one of the
three or four ; most important
jobs in the United States gov
ernment," Kennedy said. "The
United . States - ambassador to
the United Nations must play ai
greater xole; in. policy . making"
He said the post was part of
the cabinet as far as he was con
cerned and added the hope that
Stevenson would attend cabinet
meetings if he accepted. Henry

Alabama To Fight Hard
If Integration Is Ordered
Gov. John Patterson of Alabama announced Wednesday
he intends to "resist, harass and interfere with the federal
government" if a federal court should order school desegre
gation in his state. -
"The bars cannot be let down," he told a news conference.
"We in Alabama don't owe them the federal government a
thing."
The recent admission of four Negro girls to two previously
all-white schools in New Orleans left Alabama, Georgia, South
Carolina and Mississippi the only states still maintaining full
segregation.
Laos 'Subdues' Red Mutineers
VIENTIANE, Laos Loyal Laotian army officers an
nounced today they had "subdued" a group of Communist
controlled mutineers in a brief but bloody clash.
But a new crisis to the neutralist government of Premier
Prince Souvanna Phouma was developing in the south where
troops of pro-American Gen. Phoumi Nosavan crossed the
Mekong River SO miles east of here and cut off two loyalist
paratroop companies.
Lower Taxes Ahead For Some
WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Service IRS is
getting ready to announce a new national policy which will
mean lower taxes for some taxpayers.
The service has drawn up and plans to publish soon tables
showing "normal" amounts taxpayers may deduct on their
federal income "tax returns for state sales taxes.
United Nations, also attended
cabinet sessions.
Lauds Stevenson Ability
After his conference with
Stevenson, Kennedy said he had
offered him the United Nations
job because he believed that the
importance of the world body
deserved "increased emphasis
in 1961."
"The whole field of U.S.
policy will be affected by the
judgment, energy and responsi
bility", of the man who heads
the American delegation, he
said.
In his opinion, Kennedy went
on, no American could fill the
position with greater responsi
bility than Stevenson.
Stevenson was in the U.S.
delegation to the U.N. after the
war, before he ran for governor
of Illinois in 1948.
Stevenson Respected Abroad
In pre-convention campaign
ing, Kennedy had said Steven
son would make a good secre
tary of state. It was generally
believed Stevenson lost his
chance for that job when he
remained in the running for the
Democratic nomination instead
of swinging behind Kennedy.
Because of his two presiden
tial campaigns and his wide
travels abroad, Stevenson is
well known and respected out
side of the United States. His
appointment as ambassador to
the United Nations no doubt
would be welcomed almost
everywhere.
Kennedy also had a meeting
Thursday with Dean Rusk, for
mer assistant secretary of state
for Far Eastern affairs and now
president of the Rockefeller
Foundation.
Rusk has been mentioned for
secretary of 'state. He declined
to say, however, whether he
and Kennedy had discussed a
possible post for him in the
new administration.

Individual Check Proposed;
Tax Records To Be Examined
BY HENRY MAYER
.A plan to check a list of "fraudulent" student voters
against the Orange County tax lists has been presented
by Elections Board Secretary Clyde C. Carter, in an ef
fort to "preserve the integrity of our registration books."
Carter claims that "many student applicants have in
duced registration by making inaccurate and false state
ments in response to the queries of registrars." Approxi
mately 600 of the 900 student
voters come under Carter's
heading of "temporary resi
dents." The Board of County Com
missioners declined to take ac
tion on Carter's crackdown
campaign, choosing to postpone
discussion until their Jan. 3
meeting. The Elections Board
has been asked to meet with the
commissioners at that time.
The long-time secretary stat
ed that he feels students "jus
tify" their statements to regis
trars "on the ground that the
election laws are harsh and un
reasonable; in other instances,
false statements may be made
because the applicant does not
fully understand the import of
Present Facilities Inadequate
Undergrad Library
Needs Space, Quiet
By DRENA EDWARDS
Space lots of it. Quiet lots of it, too. And stacks of
books all around you.
These are three of the main advantages to be had
with the proposed new undergraduate library as out
lined by the head of the UNC Library, Dr. Jerry Orne.
As any student is aware, the Louis Round Wilson
Library is not large enough to handle all the students.
who use it. It is difficult enough i
now to find room to study there
without rubbing elbows with the
boy next to you or kicking the
girl across the table.
And, too, a certain amount of
unavoidable noise goes with a
large crowd in a small area.
This situation is not going to
improve as enrollment figures
increase each year. Additional
floor space is the only answer.
The proposed undergraduate
library would be 40,000 square
feet four times the size of the
present undergraduate room. It
would contain the books now in
the reserve room and the 15,000
titles in the undergraduate li
brary.
Miss Mary Lou Lucy, head of
the undergraduate library, said
she hopes to move 50,000 titles
into a new library. She in
tends to put more books on the
open shelves and to arrange the
stacks to provide numerous cut
off areas for studying.
It is "no easy task to decide
which books would be moved
and which would stay. Miss
Lucy and her staff, however,
have been at work for more
than a year and a half compiling
lists of books to be duplicated
and making out order cards for
other new books that would be
essential to a well-equipped
undergraduate library.
Also, library personnel want
to avoid a student's having to
run back and forth between the
two buildings. Possibly a tun
nel will be built connecting
them.
In discussing the undergrad
uate library's sharing a build
ing with the student union, Miss
Lucy said the plans include
soundproofing and completely
separate entrances. It is to be
apart from the student union.
"I will not be opening bottles
and racking cue balls," Miss
Lucy laughed.
Along this same line Assistant
Librarian Olan V. Cook said
the question.
If Plan Approved
If Carter's plan is approved, a
list of students registered in
Chapel Hill and Carrboro pre
cincts would be checked against
county tax record and auto
registration reports to determine
the accuracy of statements made
by applicants for registration.
Students believed to be guilty
of making "false or inaccurate"
statements would be sent a let
ter of warning, listing two al
ternatives: "Either he could list his poll
and property taxes with county
listers next month or he could
request in writing that his name

the combination at first. How
ever, he said the more he thinks
about it the more it appeals to
