Major L. P. McLendon, who served as chairman of the high er education board from 1959- 1963, has agreed to debate Helms, vice-president of WRAL- . TV. Helms could not be reached - for comment. Helms has stated on his tele vision program "Viewpoint" that he supports the gag-law. McLendon, a Greensboro law yer, is an outspoken opponent of the bill. Former Orange Co. Rep. L. J. Phipps, who also supports the gag-law, has accepted an invitation to speak on the cam pus here to present his views on the matter. His appearance will not be connected with the pro posed Helms-McLendon encoun ter. If plans for the Helms-McLen- don debate materialize, it will be held on the campus here within the near future. It will be sponsored by the Daily Tar Heel and WUNC-TV will be asked to carry the de bate live, as well as make the signal available to WRAL-TV for a simultaneous telecast. Helms declined en earlier Daily Tar Heel invitation to speak on the campus, as did State Senate President Clarence Stone, another supporter of the , law. Helms later said that "Con solidated University President William Friday or some other responsible person for the other side" -would be allowed to speak on the law in prime time over WRAL-TV. The DTH editors said Major McLendon was the responsible REPORTS REQUIRED v The Budget Committee yes terday announced that all organ izations using student govern ment funds will be required to submit a monthly financial statement.

This conference was held in one of the outbuildings on the farm, used for storage of material and equipment, lit only by a bare bulb hanging in the middle of the room.

In the last several years since the successful Castro revolution, the Cubans have begun to diversify their farm economy. The collective farms were set up on the model of the Russian farms, which has allowed the Cubans the benefit of the Russian mistakes. It is thought there is considerable Chinese influ ence in the formulation of the new Cuban agri cultural policy, based on the Chinese experienc es during the early forced collectivization of Chinese agriculture shortly after the end of the Korean -War.

Pauling noted biochemist whose opposition to nuclear tests has made him a controversial figure in the United States, Thursday was awarded the 1962 Nobel Peace Prize. In addition to announcing the belated award, the Norwegian No bel Prize committee announced it had divided the 1963 Peace Prize between the International Red Cross Committee and the Red Cross League. The award made Pauling the first man in the 62-year history of the Nobel Prize to be honor ed twice. He won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1954. Mme Marie Currie, co-discoverer of radium, won one prize and shared an other. While the committee did not disclose why it named Pauling over such other reported candi dates as President Kennedy and Soviet Prime Minister Nikita S. Khrushchev it generally was be lieved he was honored for his ef forts to outlaw nuclear testing. Pauling said Thursday "I think that the award of the prize to me really is to be interpreted as in cluding my fellow scientists who have worked hard in this effort, too. I am grateful to the commitr tee for having made the announ cement on the 10th of October to day the day when the bomb test treaty goes into effect with the deposition of the signed copies in Moscow, London and Washing ton." Announcement of the award to Pauling came on the day that the partial nuclear test ban agree ment by the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union for mally went into effect. Paulina long has been in the forefront of movements to ban the bomb.

Here are some of the major impressions John Salter formed on his trip to Cuba last summer: 1. Between sixty and seventy per cent of the Cubans he met were "very much in favor" of Fidel Castro's government. ""Another twenty to twenty-five per cent are more or less apathe tic," he adds, "not at all emo tionally involved. "Then there are five to ten per cent who are against the government. I met some of these counter-revolutionaries. includ ing priests. They talked freely about their disagreements wnii the government. "We were told by officials and people that it's only when they take steps that harm the govern ment or the people are they put in jail." 2. Most Cubans are highly in terested in the United States, particularly in its current civil rights upheaval. "When they learned I was from the South, that was the first thing they asked me about." 3. Most Cubans greeted the Americans "with the greatest hospitality and friendship. They seemed to expect better relations between them and the United States. "The only open hostility we met was when we arrived in Havana on the bus. A man in the street saw us and made a spitting motion. That was all. But it turned out that was very non-indicative of the climate of opinion." 4. "I'd expected that our pres ence would be exploited far more Playmakers i it orme: erved With SubBoesia iiimBert SorrarisecL At HUAC V SmbBoena By MICKEY BLACKWELL A UNC research associate says he was "very surprised and puz zled" when an investigator from the House Un-American Activi ties Committee (HUAC) present ed him with a subpoena to ap pear before a hearing in Wash ington October 16. Peter Gumpert, 30, of Ashe ville, was served the subpoena Wednesday by HUAC investiga tor Donald T. Appel. When con 'tacted t late Wednesday, Appel said he had no comment on the matter. . "It's not,the polictf of the Com mittee to identify people under subpoena or to make any type of comment," Appel said. The exact nature of the sub poena is not known but Gumpert theorized it was given him be cause of his friendship with Nick Bateson, who has been frequent ly mentioned in connection with the now defunct New Left Club and the Progressive Labor Club. Bateson's name has also been mentioned in connection with the abortive attempt of Ameri can and Canadian students to visit Cuba last Christmas. I Gumpert said he now works with Bateson jn the Psychology department. In addition to room.-, ing with Bateson last year, Gum pert said, he had worked with Bateson on several research projects. Gumpert denied being connected with either the New Left or the PLC organizations. He also de nied that he had taken part in any planning session for either the proposed Christmas trip to Cuba or of the actual trip made last summer by 59 students, including Larry Phelps and John Salter, formerly of UNC. The husky, sandy-haired Gum pert said the HUAC investigator was very courteous. "He asked me a couple of questions about my association with Bateson," Gumpert said, "and then he told me I would be needed in Wahing ton. "I asked him if it was absoultely necessary that I go, and at that point, he gave me the subpoena . . el Cuibae Salter In Cuba: Part IV than it was. I didn't expect the degree of freedom of movement and association we were all giv en. We'd split up in groups of two and three and wander off after the guided tour was over. On the tours, too, we were al lowed to talk with anyone we wanted to." 5. "The thing Til remember longest is the Cuban children. It's a fantastic emotional experi ence to go into a school for un derprivileged children and have them greet you with such en thusiasm. "The kids ranged from nine tc twenty. We went to dozens of those schools and without excep tion we got the same reception." 6. "The steps being taken by the government in hygiene, mental health, education and in other social improvement projects are very impressive. We visited a new mental hospital for psycho tics. It had a big sports area. They believe in rehabilitation through sports. "Also there were posters and billboards everywhere with mes sages about health. And there were ads in the papers telling New tAt k k but he told me I would be reim bursed for my trip," he said. Gumpert entered the University in 1951, enlisted in the Air Force, returned and graduated in 1960 in Top Physicists To Convene Here World famous physicists will meet here for the Second Eastern Theoretical Physics Conference on Oct. 25 and 28. Approximately 150 delegates from Massachusetts to Mexico are expected to attend, it was an nounced Wednesday by Dr. Eugen Merzbacher, professor of physics and chairman of the organizing committee. Sessions will be held at the auditorium of the School of Public Health. Principal speakers will include Dr. G. E. Uhlenbeck of the Rock efeller Institute, and a member of the National Academy of Scien ce, one of the highest honors ever granted a scientist. Dr. Uhlenbeck is credited with the discovery of the electron spin, one of the great est discoveries in atomic physics. . Dr. F. J. Dyson of the Institute for Advanced Study, and a distin guished mathematician as well as a physicist, is another principle speaker. He is former chairman cf the Federation of American Scientists which represents scien tists in Washington. Another speaker will be Dr. E. P. Wigner of Princeton Univer sity, who had an important part in the "Manhattan Project" dur ing World War II. Like Dr. Uhlen beck, he was selected for mem bership in the National Academy of Science. On his 60th birthday, Dr. Wigner was honored by "Mod ern Physics," a professional jour nal, which devoted an entire issue to his life and work. Other notable speakers are Dr. J. S. Langer of the Carnegie In stitute of Technology, Dr. A. Klein about elementary steps for good health; and government leaflets, too. They were in many of the homes we visited. "There's also a big campaign to eliminate gastroenteritis bloated stomach. And children high up in the mountains were wearing shoes as a result of the government's campaign to elim inate parasitic diseases." 7. "We, were told by people outside a clinic in the mountains, and by guides and government health officials, that there's a lot of red tape in the distribution of food. "One worker in a cooperative food and dry-goods store told me that sometimes there is a market able surplus of milk, although it's rationed to a quart a day for kids under seven. He said you some times run into the situation where in one town you can buy milk over the counter for 10 cents a glass and in a town 20 miles away it's severely rationed. "We were told by government officials and some of the people that the ration list is becoming less restrictive. Milk, eggs, meat, flour they're still rationed, but fish has been taken off. "They've really developed the fishing industry. We saw new fishing boats in many places. Now all fish is off the ration list and they have enough to export "The administrator of a cattle farm we visited said they're building up cattle herds all over the island and the per capita al lotment of meat is slowly rising.

HUAC investigator Neil Wet- terman issued a subpoena to Nich olas Bateson, a 28 year-old English graduate student in psychology. Bateson will reportedly appear be fore a HUAC hearing on Wednes day in Washington. Bateson was unavailable for comment last night. Bateson, whose former roommate was served Wednesday with a sub poena for a hearing the same day. has been closely connected with the now defunct New Left and Progressive Labor Clubs. His name has also been men tioned in connection with the ab ortive attempt of American and Canadian students to visit Cuba last December. Gumpert and Bateson work to gether in the psychology depart ment and have worked together on several research projects. Authorities said the HUAC in vestigator arrived here early from Washington, served the war rant to Bateson in front of South Building and then left immediate ly for Washington. BULLETIN HELMSTEDT, Germany (UPI) Soviet border guards closed the main highway to West Berlin Thursday, halted two U. S. Army convoys, and moved five Red Army armored cars up beside the halted con voys in the most serious chal lenge to Western access rights since the Communists built the Berlin Wall in 1961. West German Lorder officials said the Communists blocked the West Germany-to-West Ber lin Autobahn by moving two trucks across the highway. Then the Soviet armored ve hicles moved in next to the American Army convoys which had been blocked at the Com munist checkpoint since early Thursday morning, the officials said. t I I WW n
