CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1963 United Press International Service Rights Commission Expresses Hope WASHINGTON (UPI) The Civil Rights Commission report ed Monday that for the first time there is growing hope the na tion's racial problems can be solved if there is "full-mobilization of America's moral resourc es." The commission, in a report to President Kennedy and Congress, cautioned however against com placency. It said the increasingly bitter battle to end discrimina tion could drive Negroes and whites apart, leaving a legacy of "hate, fear and distrust." The 274-page report summarized the situation with these words: "Negroes throughout the nation have made it abundantly clear that their century-old patience Gun Fire Greets BEN CAT, South Viet Nam (UPI) Gen.

Air Force strike with atomic bombs to relieve the besieged French fortress of Dien Bien Phu in Indo-China in the spring of 1954. But he said president Eisen hower, after first giving the late secretary of state the green light, ruled that only a joint allied op eration would be possible and that later Sir Winston Churchill ve toed the entire project. The French author gave this version of events leading up to the fall of the fortress in a 500 page book "The Battle of Dien Bien Phu" published Monday.

The meeting will feature a key note address, "Student Govern ment and the UP: Problems and Opportunities," by Student Gov ernment Vice - President Bob Spearman. - Following Spearman's address, John Ulf elder, UP Legislative Floor Leader, will present "Legislature: Past end Future." Mike Chanin, UP party chair man, will talk on the state of the Party. . The meeting will close with a question and answer period and the formation of two special UP ad-hoc committees. The two ad-hoc committees that are planned will be e grievance-type committee and an academic affairs group. The first of these, the griev ance group, will be based on last year's Grievance Committee which met in various areas of the campus to hear student WORLD W,E WS BRIEFS with second class citizenship is finally at an end. "The nation in turn, gives evi dence of recognizing that the cur rent civil rights crisis constitutes a grave challenge. For the first time, then, the commission is able to report an atmosphere of genuine hopefulness. But if there is reason for hope, there is no cause for complacency." The report cited civil rights problems that exist in a num ber of fields such as voting, edu cation, housing and employment. "Yet government alone, at whatever level, cannot hope to solve the nation's civil rights problems," the commission said. "A full mobilization of America's moral resources is required at this time." Taylor in Ben Cat sent their top secret report to President Kennedy on the anti Communist war here. McNamara visited Ben Cat when he was here on an inspec tion tour in May, 1962. Then there was no firing. Monday the sound of mortars was beard, and military authorities said some of the mortar crews had run into sniper fire. Observers also heard the rat tle of automatic weapons fire and the sound of exploding gre nades a couple of miles dis tance.

But, Roy said, Dulles soon af terwards proposed that instead of dropping 500 tons of bombs on the Viet Minh a number of atomic bombs should be dropped. Roy said however that when the French cabinet on the night of April 4-5 sent an urgent ap peal for the Air Strike to be launched at once, Dulles backed down. "The situation no longer seem ed as simple to him as when, to prepare public opinion, he made his Overseas Press Club speech," Roy said. He said that congressional leaders with whom Dulles conferred refused to ap prove anything stronger than "joint action by the free na tions." is a lightweight radio-isotope-fueled generator. It is designed to provide 25 watts of direct electrical current for some five years of orbiting the earth.

The second committee will deal with certain academic prob lems. Tentative plans for this group include an investigation of the drop-add procedure, a study of the reading period be fore exams and the possibility of re-installing such a period at Carolina, possibilities of a tu torial program whereby mem bers of campus scholastic hono raries would tutor students, and a study of the future library plans and how they fit student needs. "These committees will be open to all interested persons regardless of class or exper ience," said Chanin. Chanin also urged all students to attend the meeting. "All in terested persons are sincerely invited to attend this meeting to learn about the UP and to hear its leaders at first hand." 'Bom Say Top By HUGH STEVENS Student leaders from 11 North Carolina colleges expressed op position to the speaker ban bill in a meeting here Friday. After a basic orientation and discussion of the bill, the- stu dent body presidents and other officers agreed to return to their respective campuses and take suitable action aaginst the bill. Suggested actions included letters to legislators, educational campaigns, and meetings with college officials. UNC Student Body President Mike Lawler, who served as host for the meeting, said "it is our duty to make other students and the public aware of the bill and our stand on it." "We must elevate discussion of the issue above the area of communist against non-communist," he said, "for the issue is more complicated than that." The bill, which bars known Communists from speaking on the campuses of' the Consolidat ed University, is being opposed by students on the grounds that it -infringes on the freedom of the university. Bill Reviewed Roger Foushee, UNC gradu ate student in Political Science, discussed the background of the bill and the ways in which it may affect state institutions. "The bill," he said, "grew out of a number of attitudes preva lent in the state during the sum mer, including the general un rest created by the 'social revo lution of 1963.' "Furthermore," he said, "there has long been a tendency to attack the so-called liberal ism of state-supported institu tions. Many persons throughout the state have the idea that stu dents who come here are cor rupted by liberal influences." lie discussed Qie passage of the bill, saying It was charac terized by "hastiness, secrecy, and slyness." He compared its history to that of a controversial bill on the teaching of evolution introduced in 1925. "In that instance," he said, "the bill was sent to commit tee, and the opponents of the is sue were able to gather their forces and defeat what would have been an unfortunate law. This time we were not so fortunate." OHMY! " I II ' h j - f r? I jps Jr 1 t&A&s. Jf.

His central theme will be "Apology for Uncomfortable Change," while his separate lec tures will be on "Social Sta b The Ban' Students In listing the possible effects ' of the bill, Foushee said it could "impair the quality of the faculty, especially es the uni versity continues to grow." He also said the issue could be im portant in the 1964 guberna torial race, depending upon the candidates who enter. Following Foushee's remarks, Lawler called for general dis cussion on the bill. He expressed the hope that the meeting would give the visitors a basic oren tation sufficient for them to ini tiate action on their campuses. Action Urged Lawler urged the students to meet with their college offi cials and take eny suitable ac tion against the bill. "You can move in where the university's students cannot," he said. Delegates from Appalachian State Teacher's College, headed by Howard Foster, said they had circulated a petition in opposi tion to the bill, obtaining the signatures of 40 per cent of the student body.

Col. Al Lingo, head of the Alabama state police, after earlier refusing to identify the two suspects, Monday afternoon identified them as R. E. Cham bless, 59, and Charles Cagle, 22, both of the Birmingham area. Lingo would say only that, "those are the men being held in connection with the bomb ings."" Concerning the state investi gation, he said, "We are not through yet." The pair was taken into cus tody early Monday on an open charge and spent the night under intensive questioning at the dis trict state patrol headquarters on the city's outskirts. They were later transferred to the city jail after the interrogation. Questioning of the two men and their movements, were sur rounded in secrecy. The two sus pects concealed their faces with laundry packages when they were rushed to the city jail from the patrol station before dawn. Both Chambliss and Cagle have Ku Klux Klan backgrounds. Cagle was arrested near Tusca loosa in June a few days before the University of Alabama was integrated. He was charged with carrying a . concealed weapon but a date wias never set for his trial. Dyer - Bennet for a dollar if space is available at 7:45. .. His ; appearances on campus are presented as the second in the. entertainment series sponsor ed by Graham Memorial. Born in England, Dyer-Bennet grew up in California where he became a star soccer player, playing on the Olympic Club Soc cer team in San Francisco. At one time he was about to become a professional soccer player, but ne decided to find a career in music, particularly in folk music. He studied in Sweden and gain ed a repertoire of song-stories, love-ballads, adventure songs, sea-chanteys, and lumbermen and soldiers songs. Besides being a singer and a guitarist, Dyer-Bennet is an en tertainer. His performances are expected to include touches of humor and historical background. His songs come from many ages; there are pieces from the little known music of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Cagle was also among a group of men, some of them members of the klan, who were picked up. near Tuscaloosa en route to a klan rally. Chambliss has a record of sev eral arrests in connection with various Klan activities, but no convictions. He was a city em ployee in the late 1940s but was dismissed in 1949 for smashing a newsman's camera at a Ku Klux Klan rally. He was one of the signers in the 1950s of a pe tition to incorprate a klan group known as the Alabama Ku Klux Klan, Inc. Including $5,000 posted by Gov. George C. Wallace, rewards totalling nearly $80,000 have been offered for information leading to the conviction of the person or persons responsible for the city's recent bombings. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. arrived in the city before noon, one hour ahead of schedule, to confer with integration loaders on possible new demonstrations. King issued an ultimatum to city officials last week demand ing that Birmingham's racial differences be improved soon and said he would recommend demonstrations if they were not. About 2,000 Negroes were ar rested and jailed in massive demonstration earlier this year. One city official has threat ened King's arrest if demonstra tions commence again. Two Ne gro leaders later issued a joint statement deploring King's threat and asking that the pres ent negotiations be continued. sued By Fraternities have received an unaccustomed lauding in a report issued by the office of the Dean of Men. The report, entitled "The Positive Side of the Greek Coin," was written by Dean of Men William G. Long. It was the result of a questionnaire distributed among the University's 24 social "Fraternities provide a small group living experience," the re port stated, "so often a vital service for certain students; they provide an experience in self government quite in keeping with this institution; they provide an important and often necessary social outlet for their members . . . they provide ... the equiva lent of a third multistoried resi dence hall." The report, to be published soon by the Dean's office, also cited encouragement of mem bers to enter student govern ment, to improve academic per formance, participation in intra- murals, public service and fi nancial support to the town of Chapel Hill. The questionnaires had been distributed last spring and were returned by 21 of the 24 fra ternities. Long declined to iden tify the three who did not par ticipate, commenting "There was such a good response that it is my belief that it was ac cidental that the questionnaires were not returned." The report started with a dis cussion of some of the criti cisms often leveled at fraterni ties. It mentioned anti-intellec-tualism, an excess of social life, perpetration of adolescence, breeding of social differentia tion and discrimination through the so-called "blackball" sys- tpm I It then, discussed each at length, drawing heavily on the figures gained through the poll. The questionnaires revealed that 1,574 fraternity men participat ed in either student government or other extra-curricular ac tivities. Tne anti-intellectual charge was considered at length. The report said that fraterni ties ". . . . make a significant effort to encourage responsible academic performance. . . . For example, 60 per cent of the fra ternities reporting have com pulsory study halls for their pledges, 25 per cent have chap ter contests with a monetary reward for the active or pledge demonstrating the greatest aca demic excellence for any given semester or year, ... 75 per cent have tutoring servics provided by members of the fraternity, 85 per cent keep old quiz files, 35 per cent maintain a fraternity library and 35 per cent have faculty discussion groups at times within the house." The report also revealed that the fraternities contributed a total of $928,880.59 to the "gen eral economy," including private expenditures of $309,482.02.
