Denies Spy Charge, Declare Man Assaulted MOSCOW (UPI) The United States charged Wednesday in a formal note of protest that a U. S. assistant naval attache expelled by the Soviet Union was "physically assaulted." It also denied he was engaged in espionage. U. S. Embassy sources said the expulsion of 41-year old Lt. Cmdr. Raymond Smith "looks very much like an outright reprisal opera tion" for the ouster of two So viet United Nations diplomats last month on similar charges. "The Soviets did the same sort of things with Smith as they claim ed were done against their two citizens," the sources said. "But the outstanding difference was that the two Soviets in New York were involved in purchasing docu ments." The Russians, Yegeny Prokhorov and Ivan Vydrodov, were expelled for allegedly buying defense se crets from U. S. sailor Nelson C Drummond, who has denied com plicity. The Soviet Union charg ed at the time that the diplomats were manhandled. The sources confirmed Soviet charges that Smith was carrying binoculars, a miniature camera, and a tape recorder when arrested in Leningrad Oct. 2 but called this "normal practice" for military at taches and denied the equipment was being used for espionage. The sources denied, however, that the binoculars and camera were out of Smith's pocket when he was seized and said alleged maps he had on his person were only maps of Leningrad's public transportation system.

Western sources report ed, meanwhile, that the Soviets have shifted some of their new supersonic delta-wing jet fighters to bases along the Frankfurt Ber lin air corridor, one -of the 20-mile wide strips used by the Allies for air access to Berlin.

"This plane recently claimed a world speed record of 1,695 miles an hour. But they also could have been the older and slower delta wing Mig 23 or fishbed, capable of speeds of about twice that of sound. The fact that the jets werelined up in clear- view of Western planes indicated the Soviets expected them to be seen;- Western sources said the Russians were reminding the Allies of their power to ..-harass Western air traffic to TfcrW " Boat Catches Refugees West Berlin police said the three refugees caught by the East Germ ans were trying to swim the; Spree River, near the ruins of the old Reichstag Building.

Royall's request for an in vestigation of Communism on campus was called everything from an "absurdity" to a "rightful in vestigation" by campus leaders yesterday. But most students inter viewed seemed to think it "un called for" and based on "hear say. Inman Allen, president of the student government, said, "I have no strong feelings on it. If they want to conduct an investigation, it's their prerogative to make the request." But Gil Stallings, president of the YMCA, called the proposed in vestigation an "absurdity." "Col. Royal has demonstrated before that he's out of touch with the University. It's very uncalled for and detracts from the general stature of the American Legion, he added. "Highly superfluous" is what Fran Roth, Pan-Hellenic, termed the investigation. Bob II ear den, Chairman of Gra ham Memorial Activities Board, said he didn't think the investiga tion would find anything. "It's a futile effort on their part," he said. "But I think they have a right to do it. For the most part. I think it's uncalled for but it'll give them .American Legion) something to do." ' - ........ Bill Crisswell, Student Body Treasurer said he thought they are trying to "scare up an issue and this is a good one for their pur UNC GLEE CLUB A new RCA record featuring college, folk, religious and other songs by the University Men's Glee Club goes on sale here to- aboard.

CUSC There will be a meeting of the CUSC in Greensboro Sunday. All delegates please meet at Graham Memorial at 1:45 Bi-Phi Accepts Open Honor Council trials should be open to two reporters, the Di-Phi voted Tuesday night. The members passed Bill Hobbs resolution as amended by a 14-2 vote. Heads of the Honor Council were sblit on the resolution. WTalt Del-linger,- Men's CouncU - Chairman, supported it as amended. But Bev Hayn.es, Woman's CouncU Chair man, said the resolution would make individuals pay for the "mis take" of the Honor Councils in not handling cases better. The original resolution said: the student constitution should be amended to have all trials open to two reporters "who shall report trial, procedings in full, with the fxception that the name of the de feodant' and .any-"witnesses saaJ ress Q Iks Probe Opinions poses. It's not very helpful for this area, though and I don't think it's well-founded. Much of it is based on pure hearsay," he added. YWCA president Donna Bailey said it's "rather ridiculous that there should be an investigation. For any learning to take place there has to be an atmosphere of freedom and an investigation cer tainly inhibits freedom." Larry McDevitt, presidential as sistant, refused to comment. Chuck Wrye, DTH co-Editor, said he felt the investigation was a "ft 'A' 'At Leftists Hosted By Summer Paper Bill Waumett, editor of last sum mer's student newspaper, the UNC News, said yesterday the News once reserved Gerrard Hall for the use of a group affiliated with the Chapel Hill Progressive Labor Club. Waumett's statement followed charges by local American Legion officer Henry Royall that the leftist PL Club had used University facui ties.

The UNC News was recognized as an official student organization, but the Progressive Labor Club was not. The summer school editor said Gerrard Hall had been reserved for the "Chapel Hill chapter of the Monroe Youth Action Committee." Waumett said he "understood" sev eral members of the Monroe Com mittee were also members of the Progressive Labor Club. He explained, that the News had not "sponsored the meeting in Gerrard. We agreed to reserve the hall for them because we felt they had a right to express their opin ions. Neither the paper nor myself did not, and do not, support these opinions. We only felt they had a right to be expressed. Bill Hobos, Co-Editor of the sum mer school paper, said the paper had acted as "a host, not a spon sor." Hobbs said, "I know that dis tinction seems vague. Neither Waumett nor myself nor the paper supports their views. As hosts, we gave them a place to speak, but did not in any way approve of their position, officially or unoffi cially." The meeting in question occurred last August. The Monroe group presented two speakers, both Neeroes from Monroe, N. C. The speakers, Richard Crowder and not be used without their written j permission." Roger Foushee proposed the amendment that the student could request a closed trial "if he can validate an argument that undue embarrassment and sel-incrimina-tion will ensue from an open trial." His amendment called for a com mittee consisting of the chairman and the attorney general of each council and the president of the student body to determine which trials should be closed. A two-thirds vote, would be necessary for a closed trial. An earlier amendment proposed by former Di-Phi member John Randall providing that a trial could be closed at the request of any de fendant was soundly defeated by a vote cf 12-3. 100 Million Of UK "romantic fling at modern day witch hunting, which might serve to keep some old men busy and give them an opportunity to shout a bit." "The regrettable part," he went on to say, "is that they shout so loudly when they know so little." I do not feel that the presence of so-called "leftist" groups on this or any other campus threatens the freedom of anyone, and since they would gladly ignore the American Legion, why can't the American Legion return the favor to an equally harmless group." 'A' 'A' Harold Reape, described what they termed, "racist oppression" of Monroe Negroes. Both speakers were and are on bond pending trial on charges o: "kidnapping" a white couple dur ing racial disturbances in Monroe in August of 1961.

Judgres To Pick Yack Queen In Friday's Contest The annual Yack Beauty Con test win be held on Friday, Nov. 2, in Memorial Hall to select a queen and beauty court for the 1363 edition of the Yackety Yack. Included in the program of this year's contest will be Kemp Battle Nye as announcer, and Professor John M. Schnorren berg of the Art Department as one of the five judges. The Men's Glee Club and Miss Dorcas Hen ley, Miss Chapel Hill of 1962, will also appear.

Photographs of the win ning girls will be taken after the contest for the 1963 Yack, to ap- pear next spring. JL The proposed measure drew fire from several speakers, including Foushee, and Dellinger. Both said they opposed the amendment chief ly on the grounds that it placed the issue solely in the hands of the de fendant. Former DTH editor Wayne King also spoke against the amendment on the grounds that, "it would ham string the entire purpose of the open trial plan." King also said he opposed any amendment which would limit campus knowledge of council cases. Foushee's amendment passed SM. Mike Lawler, speaker of the Stu dent Legislature, censured the Leg islature after noting that only two representatives were at the debate. President Arthur Hayes of the oiid. But U. S. Can't Spend More Than Other Countries WASHINGTON (UPI) Congress Wednesday appropriated the full $100 million requested by Presi dent Kennedy for the purchase of United Nations bonds. But the President will not ba able to spend a penny more than other countries are willing to put up to help the world organization solve its current financial crisis. The funds, authorized last month, were contained in a compromise $2,025,895,700 appropriations bill passed by the House on a 172-76 roll call vote and then approved by the Senate on a voice vote. Most of the funds are for opera tion of the State, Commerce, Jus tice Departments and the U. S. nformation Agency during the year ending next June 30. The total was arrived at by a House-Senate conference commit tee which ironed out the differ ences between a $1,901,215,700 House bill and a $2,036,803,700 Senate bill. The administration had requested $2,123,243,000. The Senate included the $100 mil lion for the U. N. bonds when it acted on the appropriations meas ure early this month. The House version, passed in July, did not carry the sum because the authori zation in a separate bill had not been approved at that time. Kennedy already has signed into L,, it w hnno fhon v. foi purchased by other countries. Con gress ordered that U. S. purchases of the funds must be strictly on a "dollar-for-dollar" basis. As of Wednesday, 23 countries have bought $34,103,000 of the bonds. In addition, other nations have promised to buy an addition- al $39,505,257 worth. If all follow ed through, the total would be $73,608,257. MISSING A Nationalist Chinese flag was removed from the front of Old East yesterday morning. It was hang ing in recognition of Double Ten (October 10), the Chinese National Independence Day. Rick Edwards, of 17 Old East, has asked that anyone having in formation which might lead to recovery of the flag inform him of it through the DTH. Need A Job? The University Placement Service will conduct a Career Meeting for all seniors and graduate students on Tuesday, October 16 at 7:30 p.m. in Carroll Hall. The meeting is jointly sponsored with Alpha Kappa Psi and Delta Sigma Pi fraterni ties. J. M. Galloway, Director of the Placement Service, will explain how his office assists students in finding positions in business, in dustry, government, and in collega teaching. Tria Di-Phi Society noted that less than half the members were present. Hobbs said the resolution would further the concept of student re sponsibility, be more realistic, look out for the students' interests, and let the students know what the members of the Honor Council were doing. But Jim Reston said keeping names secret would arouse more curiosity, suspicion would be case on the defendant and the bad rec ord could not be wiped out as it now can. Members of the society and guests voted after the amendment passed. The vote for the resolution as amended was 14-2 in favor by the society and 18-8 in favor by all present.
