A spakesman for the Defense Ministry refused to confirm or deny the report. "Anything connected with our nu clear test program is a military secret and no information can be given about it," the spokesman said. According to the sources, small quantities of radioactive vapors swirled ud from the surface after the underground explosion of the nuclear device at the Frencn prov ing grounds in the Hoggar Mts. of the Sahara. Messmer and a number of tech nicians watching the test the first by France in more than a year changed their clothes and were decontaminated purely as a pre cautionary measure, according to the report. It was said that a check with Geiger counters did not indicate that Messmer or the others in fact had been contaminated by the radioactive leakage.

The dis tinguishing mark of his career has been his ability to translate Wash ington events so that the people back home may see how' it affects them. Kiplinger was a pioneer in re porting the economic impact of governmental policies and activi ties. He was one of the first to recognize that readers needed more economic coverage of Washington in words they could understand. He was one of the first two journalism graduates of Ohio State University. At 25 he was covering the Ohio State Legislature for As sociated Press. He then came to Washington as an AP correspon dent. In 1923 he founded the Kiplinger Washington Letter, and it has re mained in continuous weekly pub lication.

It said Red forces were in close pursuit of government troops fleeing from the captured stronghold of Nam Tha. A government military commu nique said pro-Communist rebels had captured the northern out post of (Muong Nga, 35 miles north of the Royal capital of Luang Pra- bang. FK Vows To Stop Through ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (UPI) President Kennedy vowed Tuesday to exert equal pressure on man agement and labor to hold off in flation and said if the American people disapproved of his tactics "then they should secure the serv ices of a new President." Kennedy told a cheering Unit ed Auto Workers convention he in tended to be an active President and to vigorously defend the public interest whether it was threatened by management or unions. "I believe it is the business of the President . . . to concern him self with the general welfare and the public interest and if the people feel it is not, then they should secure the services of a new President of the United States," Kennedy said. The President flew here in his new jet-powered helicopter to ad dress the convention and returned immediately afterward to Wash ington. His words on the responsi bility of labor and corporations to avoid any new inflationary spiral SIT-IN Edward Opton last week pled nolo contendere and was fined in the trial of a sit-in case dating from June, 1961. Opton, white secretary of the State NAACP Youth Chapter, was arrested for sitting in the Negro section of the Chapel Hill bus ter minal's lunch counter. The ter minal facilities are now closed. The trial was held in Orange County Superior Court. EXAM Schedule , The time of an examination may not be changed after it has been fixed in the schedule.

(Common exams are indicated by an aster: isk,) - ' But It Can Be Invoked A ilt said Muong Nga was taken by troops from Muong Sai, which had served as the main supply base for the Nam Tha push. A U. S. source said the force may have trapped two Laotian infantry battalions. . In southern Laos, the govern ment communique said, a numer ically superior force of rebels drove the company-strength gar rison from the outpost of Sara vane. Chinese Pressing Garrison The government also said that Labor, Management were tough despite reports the UAW favored wage increases. Applaud Kennedy Constantly The 10,000 delegates, wives and school children in huge Convention Hall gave Kennedy a two-minute ovation on arrival and interrupted him constantly with thunderous ap plause during his 30-minute speech. But the union audience did not cheer his latest appeal for wage restraint. Kennedy declared that the "fero cious!' -struggle against commun ism around the world and increas ing foreign compe tition for world markets made it essential to avoid any new inflationary spiral. Kennedy said he did not intend to impose wage or price controls but would rely on voluntary co operation from both sides of the bargaining table to achieve "re sponsible" settlements. The President, who has come under increasing fire from busi ness leaders for his dramatic drive to roll back steel price increases, shrugged off these criticisms. He said some people felt the President should behave like the honorary chairman of a great fra ternal organiation but this clashed with constitutional mandates. Must Resist Advances At a time when U.S. forces are poised to resist Communist ad vances from Red-encircled Berlin to South Vietnam, he said, the ad ministration must resist unjustified wage-price advances.

The reports of new Communist successes came amid these other Laotian developments: Members of the three-nation International Control Commission prepared to fly Wednesday to the leftist "capital" to try to probe the reasons behind the sudden Communist offensive in Laos. The Inflation "We have two tasks in economic policy to create demand so that we will' have a market for all that we can produce and to avoid infla tion," the President said. "While individual adjustments may have to be made to fit the previous pat terns in individual industry, in gen eral a wage policy which seeks its gains out of the fruit of technology instead of the pockets of consumers is the one basic approach that can help every segment of the econ omy," he said. Kennedy told the UAW delegates that wage increases generally should be confined to increases in productivity gains. In this way, he said, pay boosts will not trigger higher prices. U.S. To Continue Berlin Conferences Despite Objections WASHINGTON (UPI) The Unit ed States pointedly told West Ger man Chancellor Konrad Adenauer Tuesday that it would continue Ber lin talks with the Russians despite his objections. The State Department said in ef fect that if Adenauer had a better plan to solve the Berlin problem he should come forward with it. But as long as this wasn't the case, the ; department said, it would push ahead with its own pro posals. Even as the State Department was issuing its statement, tne chancellor was continuing his pub lic opposition to the current series of U.S.-Soviet discussions. He said in Berlin that the talks "have not been successful and I do not know why they should be continued." Patterson Headed For A drive to "export our culture" to Korea has been launched by Professor Tom Patterson , of the UNC Drama Department. $11 v IT British, Polish and Canadian com missioners will be accompanied by the British co-chairman of the Geneva conference on Indochina, Malcom MacDonald. The mission may be in vain, however, because most of the neutralist and pro Communist Pathet Lae leaders are reported to be out of the country. U. S. Defense Secretary Rob ert S. McNamara and Gen. Ly man L Lemnitzer, chairman of the U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, ar rived in Bangkok Tuesday for talks with Thailand officials on the increased Communist threat in Laos and other Asian nations. Boun Oum Seeking Aid Laotian Royal government Pre mier Boun Oum arrived in Malaya at the head of a Laotian goodwill and aid-seeking mission and said the civil war is in reality a "fight between a small country and in ternational communism." In London, British Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath told Commons the British government is asking the Soviet foreign minister to use his influence to persuade the Com munist forces to withdraw and to arrange for an immediate investiga tion of the situation by the Inter national Control Commission. In Moscow, the U. S. and Brit ish ambassadors called on Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gro- myko and were believed to have delivered a request that the So viets join the Wst in an appeal that the Laos cease-fire be re spected. . Pu blish ing Risky, Press Director Says By MATT WEISMAN W. T. Crouch, once director of the UNC Press in 1943 cautioned against labelling the Press as "ar rived" or "successfully estab lished." Today, one needs very little cau tion in calling the Press a South eastern leader in the field of book publishing and one of the half dozen great university presses in the nation. Forty years ago, the Press was but a fledgling non-stock corpora tion operating under the authority of the Board of Trustees of the Consolidated University, the con trol of the Press being invested in a Board of Governors comprised of 15 men serving staggered terms of 5 years each. The Press has in these years expanded from its ori ginal conception as a media for serving the scholarly interest of the University and faculty to world horizons of meeting and creating intellectual needs. From the Press's one bound book EXPORTING Patterson, who has recently been awarded a 1962-63 Fulbright Fel lowship to teach playwriting in Dong Kook University and to di rect plays at the Drama Center in Seoul, Korea, wants to take as many drama books with him as he can. "This will be a gift from the UNC student body to the students at Dong Kook," he said. "What we want to do is to export our cul ture. We want to show them that we are not nincompoops like the Communists say. "There is only one idea about Communism, but there are 1,000 Americas. Here is our chance to show the Koreans that America is not just a land of bathtubs and automobiles." The Korean schools are in des perate need of books, Patterson said. "Since the war most of the cities and schools have been re built but the desperate need is books. Because of the great dif ference in money value, it is a Is 80 Pet enc Unanimous Muling1 Reached Yesterday The 80 per cent rule is no more. Dean of Student Affairs William G. Long announced yes terday afternoon that the scholastic restriction on fraterni ties and sororities was suspended by the Faculty Committee on Fraternities and sororities Senior Daze The annual "Senior Day" activities will get underway Thursday morning at 10:30 in Memorial HalL Seniors will get free cuts to take part. At that time Mr. and Miss Alumni will be elected as well as permanent class officers. Graduation procedures will be explained and tickets for the remaining Senior Day ac tivities will be distributed. From 2 to 11 p.m. there will be a party at the Patio, bowl ing at All Star Lanes at a reduced rate, free movies up town after 6, golf, food, beer and prizes. Friday will be "Barefoot Day" and all seniors may go to class with no shoes. From 8 to 12 p.m. Friday there will be a Senior Dance at Hoenig's Cabin. Senior girls are supposed to swap roles with the men and ask the men to the dance. How ever, the traditional practice is acceptable. Don Thompson and the BonteviUes' Combo will be featured. of the first year it has expanded to the point where '62 publishing list contains 842 books in print and plans for 42 new titles by the end of the year. From its hope of dis tributing in North Carolina, the Press has moved to a distribution sphere that encompasses all 50 states and 76 countries, including several communist nations. Much of the press's accomplish ments can be contributed to its imaginative directors. The roll call of directors reads as follows: Dr. Louis Round Wilson, who is largely responsible for getting to gether several editors of depart mental journals and incorporating the Press in 1922. Dr. Wilson served as director for 1922 to '32 at which time he left the University to become Dean of the Graduate Library School at the University of Chicago. Taking his place with W. T. Couch, a graduate of the University served from '32 to '45 when he went to Chicago to become (Continued on Page 3) CULTURE' very slow process for them to col lect books. That is why I'm going to take as many over with me as I can." Professor Patterson has com piled a list of paperback books he wants but will take any old drama books that students will donate. Money for books or old books can be turned in at the YWCA office. Drama groups in Korea became important when the Koreans began using drama to evade Japanese suppression around the turn of the century. "Always there were groups that rebelled against the Japanese," Patterson said, "and one of these were the drama groups. "They became interested in west ern drama because it was a drama of ideas. It had something to say and they used it to express ideas of freedom and democracy." Finally these groups were quelched by the Japanese but im mediately sprang up again after World War II. Because cf Ameri am in a unanimous decision. The suspension became effective immediately. "What was in effect this morning," Long said, "is no longer in effect this afternoon." However it should be noted that the rule has been suspended and not revoked." The entire responsibility for scholarship in the fraternities will be on the IFC and each individual fraternity. The change in the scholarship regulations comes as a result of a plan drawn up by the IFC in an effort to (retain the initative for self government by the students. In agreeing to carry out its plan the IFC set up the following four rules: 1. The buil pledge rule, provid ing automatic depledging of any pledge who fails to become aca demically eligible for iniation with in two semesters after pledging. 2. A two semester "C" average rule, providing of automatic de activation of any active member of a fraternity who fails for two con secutive semesters to attain a "C" average. 3. A cumulative "C" average rule, providing for the automatic deactivation of an active member of a fraternity who, in any semes ter, fails to maintain a cumula tive average of "C" or better. 4. A one-semester deferment of rushing, effective in the fall of 1964. Long said that the IFC and the Faculty Council will hold frequent meetings in order to see that the regulations are being carried out. The Office of Student Affairs will also work with the IFC and pro vide information needed by the fraternities concerning their schol astic standing. Under the new set up sororities will be free from any university regulation and, temporarily, from any self imposed regulation. How ever, the Faculty Committee will give further consideration to their situation later. They will probably not be subject to strong regulation in the future because of their satis factory scholastic record in the past. ..j HONOR COUNCIL Applications and interviews for one position on (be Men's Honor Council for 1362-1363 will be held today and tomorrow afternoon in the Student Government presi dent in G.M. The selection will not be based on geographical district. Intetrviews for the office of Chairman of Campus Chest will be held at the same time and place. Korea can aid during the Korean War, they became extremely interested in American drama. Dong Kook is a great Euddist University and the only institution in Asia known to have a depart ment of drama. This department was set up by Sun-Sam Lee, a UNC graduate who took his Mas ter's Degree in the Department of Dramatic Art in 195. During the two years he was at UNC as a student Lee worked closely with Patterson in playwriting and in other theater activities. The Seoul Drama Center is an ultra-modern theater built under the direction of Che-jm Vu, one e? Korea's best-known writers. Pat terson became acquainted with Mr. Yu when the latter visited Chapel Hill in 1957. while on a tour of the U.S. University theaters. Impressed with the work of the Carolina Playmakers over the years, Yu felt that it would serve as a model for a dramatic organ (Ccntinued on Page 3)
