'Country Only Weak As Fears' AFROTC Told "Our country is only as strong as the hopes or as weak as the fears of its people," Chaplain Os car L. Sylwcstcr, Capt. USAF, told AFROTC cadets Thursday. Chaplain Sylwestcr's speech Tvnamics of Spiritual Leader ship," was delivered during the u n i fs Leadership Laboratory. Sylwester is Chaplain at Pope Air Force Base at Fayetteville. The Cadets, as future leaders of men were challenged to bring out what "no firing squad can kill," to "bring out what is within." Battle for Minds The true conflict is not between Communism and the West, the Chaplain emphasized, but is a "battle for the mind." Commun ism is an attempt to "denature man," he stated, and it seeks to break down the "moral fabric of man." Svlwester commented that while "980 million people and one-third of the earth's surface are under Communist control, only per cent of Russians are Communists." 4 1 . i.'' v -4 4 Snowplow on Cameron Nam gave President Kennedy a first-hand report on the worsening situation in the tiny Southeast As ian country. The State Department said no immediate new crisis prompted McNamara's trip. Rather it is part of increased U. S. efforts to deal with a situation in which Communist-1 e d guerrillas have been stepping up their raids a gainst South Viet Nam. In a related development, the department announced that Aver ell Harriman, assistant secretary of state for the Far East, would fly to Geneva this weekend for meetings early next week between the three rival princes of Laos. The princes are trying to work out a coalition government. At the same time, the depart ment announced that it had re sumed U. S. financial aid to the government of Prince Boun Oum by forwarding a $3 million check for January. Aid was held up after Boun Oum broke up a meeting be tween the three princes in Vien tiane, the Laotian capital, several weeks ago. McNamara was scheduled to leave Washington for Hawaii Sun day afternoon and be back Tues day to prepare for congressional hearings on the defense budget. Accompanying him will be Nolt ing; Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a group of other top ad visers on southeast Asia.

Two things made driving easier in Chapel Hill after the last snowfall. The first was the new Cha pel Hill snow ordinance and the second was the work of Mr. Shelton Womble, Superintendent of Pub lic Works for the town of Chapel Hill. Since Chapel Hill does not get many large snow falls, there is no need for having a storage of equip ment designed specially for the purpose. Chapel Hill uses two truck-plows and two road graders to plow their snow. All this equipment is used during the year for regular road work. Standby Crew The road crew of four men is kept on standby in case of snow or when snow is expected. They have a supply of sand and calcium chloride for icy roads. The men are regular employees of the Pub lic Works Department. The new ordinance states that there, will be no parking in the Chapel Hill Fire District after a two-inch or greater snowfall accumulates. The Fire District includes Rosemary and Franklin streets from Spring Lane west to Carrboro city limits and all crossing streets. This facilitates work for . Air. Womble and his crew when they must plow the entire street up to the curb. The men are authorized to move auto mobiles if they are parked and blocking the plows. The owner of the car must pay tow tosts. Laos Receives Aid After Short Delay VIENTIANE, Laos (UPI) The Laotian government of Premier Prince Boun Oum Friday received its monthly aid allotment of $4 million from the United States af ter a 12-day delay. At the same time, it was an nounced that Boun Oum . would leave Sunday for Geneva for talks with the neutralist and pro-Communist Laotian princes on forma tion of a coalition government. Although neither Laotian nor A merican officials would comment, the decision to release the funds was believed prompted by Boun Oum's acceptance of the invitation from the 14-nation conference on Laos to meet in the Swiss city with neutralist Prince Souvanna Phouma and Prince Souphanouvong of the pro-Communist Pathet Lao. The United States was known to have been disturbed by the col lapse of scheduled princely talks here last month. The breakdown generally was blamed on the in sistence of Boun Oum's right-wing faction that it retain the key de fense and interior ministries in a future coalition regime. The delay in releasing the funds stirred speculation that the Unit ed States was applying economic presurcs to break the impasse and speed a solution to the Lao tian crisis. While Boun Oum will go to Ge neva, it was made clear the right- wing faction intended to maintain its tough attitude. Deputy Premier Gen. Phoumi Nosavan, the recognized strong man in the Boun Oum regime, declared in a belligerent speech this week that the government will not give up its fight to keep the defense and interior police posts. Phoumi will go to Geneva with Boun Oum. Souvanna and Souphanouvong also have accepted the invitations from Britain and Russia, co- chairmen of the conference in Ge neva. Souvanna is in Europe.

There is no restriction as to race, creed, color or sorority mem bership but the students should show "promise of valuable ser vice in their future communities? Cooperation of People "Drivers in town," Mr. Womble stated, . "should not park in the town Fire District when it is snow ing or when there is a chance of snow. WThen the plows go to work, the signs for no parking will be put up and their cars may be towed away." Mr. Womble, an employee of the city of Chapel Hill for 14 years, stated that, "The people cooperat ed very well during this last snowfall and got their cars out of the way almost as soon as the "signs were up." The Public Works Department, which controls the cemetery, sewer and sanitation works also, hires private equipment when the show gets deeper than five or six inches. A road tractor is then used to hoist the snow into dump trucks and have it carried away. New Snow Plow The department, according to Mr. Womble, is better equipped than ever but he hopes to purchase a new truck plow, at the cost of $750, during this year. He feels that this past snow removal was the best job that has ever been done. In cost, the snow removal varies from time to time according to the size of the snowfall. This particular job cost about $200 and, Mr. Womble added, "about $150 of that cost was for labor and gasoline." said Souphanouvong will leave rebel headquarters in the Plain of Jars for Geneva "very shortly." Peiping radio also broadcast claims by the Pathet Lao that the rebel forces had "routed" three government battalions in fiehtin" at Muong. Sai in north western Laos. The rebels also said there had been fighting in other areas during the "past fortnight." The communist rebels claimed 100 Government troops were killed and 30 taken prisoners while "others" surrendered. f - - A -, M ) 'yt: J J- 51 iiliiliill! 0INA IOUOBRIGIDA 'Never So Few' Tonight's Flick With F.

House will retire from teaching at the end of the current academic year and Albert M. Coates will retire as director of the Institute of Government, although he will continue his duties as a Law School professor. Their retirement, along with that of four other prominent UNC facul ty members, was announced by Chancellor William B. Aycock fol lowing a meeting of the Board of Trustees' executive committee this week. Chancellor House retired from his administrative duties as re quired by the state regulations that University administrators must retire at the age of 65 but may continue to teach until the ago of TO. Since then he has taught classes in classics and English. Founder of Institute Mr. Coates founded the Insti tute of Government in 1931 and has served as its director since that time. He graduated from UNC in 1918 and joined the Law School here in 1923 after receiving a law degree from Harvard. Mr. House graduated from UNC in 1916 and received the M. A. degree from Harvard. He held ma jor administrative posts from 1926 until 1957. The four other professors whose retirements were announced at the same time are Dr. John W. Las- ley Jr., Dr. Milton S. Heath, Mar - i $ SPREADING SAND - Wednesday Contemplated For Protests Expected From Army Brass WASHINGTON (UPI) The ad ministration will announce next Tuesday a shakeup in the Army department so controversial it is certain to bring protests from Army officers and meet criticism in Congress. Contemplated for years, the re organization is one that former Defense Secretary Robert A. Lovett once said it would be no more painful for government leaders than backing into a buzz saw. But he agreed it should be carried out. The final plan was developed by Defense Secretary Robert S. Mc Namara and approved by President Kennedy. Chiefly affected are such old line technical services as the ordnance, chemical, quartermaster, signal and transportation corps. Asked about the plan, a Defense Department spokesman said the garet Blec and Ruth Hay. Longest Teaching Career Dr. Lasley, a professor in the mathematics department, has a longer teaching career than any other member of the faculty. He entered the University in 1906 at the age of 14. He became an in structor upon his graduation and later received the M.A. degree here and the Ph.D. at the Univer sity of Chicago. He also studied at John Hopkins University.

Years -H- OvoJ Army would "have something to say about this" Tuesday. Draws Sharp Protest Some details of the plan have been leaking out for weeks. The authoritative Army - Navy - Air Force Journal said Friday that the reorganization already had "drawn sharp protests from a number of senior officers." The office of the chief of engi neers, which is responsible for ci vilian and military construction projects, and the office of the surgeon general, will hold their own. But other technical services will disappear or be absorbed in new commands. The plan calls for two new com mandsmaterial development and logistics command, and combat and combat developments com mand. The continental Army com mand will take over nearly all training including that now con ducted by technical services. Just before he left office in 1952, Lovett sent a memorandum then President Harry S. Truman in which he said the technical services overlapped and compli cated the problem of administra tion and control. Lovett said he was amazed that the system worked at all, and added: "A reorganization of the technical services would be no more painful than backing into a buzz-saw but I believe that it is long overdue."
