Of Algeria The National Student Associa tion today begins a drive to col lect books for the University of Algiers. In June of 1962, the Library and Faculty of Medicine of the University of Algiers were bombed by terrorists of the O.A.S. (Secret Army Organiza tion) in a last wave of violence before Algeria gained its inde pendence. The library building was gutted and over a half-million books were destroyed, in cluded many irreplaceable manuscripts of Arabic literature. The local drive to collect books is part of a nationwide drive con ducted by N.S.A. and the World University Service, according to committee spokesmen. The drive will continue until the Christmas vacation. "What we really need are text books in all disciplines," Vance Barron, a member of the com mittee, said yesterday. "The Uni versity of Algiers has an imme diate need for textbooks, but background publications in all disciplines that would be suit able for any university collection are also needed." "The University of North Caro lina Press has already gener ously offered any of the books it has published," he continued. "We are also soliciting books from faculty members. We are hoping that they may have many books which are sent to them by publishers which they do not need. "We also feel that students have an important obligation and an excellent opportunity to help their fellow students in another land at a time of great need," .Be SI 61 Jets Are Sabotaged WILLIAMS AIR FORCE BASE. Ariz. (UPD 61 jet training planes were discovered sabotaged at this desert Air Force base end an immediate investigation was launched, base officials said Tuesday. Wing Commander Col. Wil liam C. Lindley Jr. said elec tric wires leading to the gears of the T38 supersonic trainers were cut. He said the planes were ex pected to be put back into op eration late Tuesday and the base's training schedule would not be seriously disrupted. Lindley said the damage "could have had very serious and dangerous consequences had it not been discovered" in pre-flight checks Monday. The planes carry no classi fied equipment and are not armed. Federal Bureau of Investiga tion agents and other military security agents immediately be gan investigating the incident. press. The ruling military junta re stored press freedom after the Nov. 2 coup which overthrew the regime of the late President Ngo Dinh Diem, who had main tained tight controls over news. In his message to Congress, Johnson indicated his request was prompted in part by similar ap peals from "many Americans" in letters written since Kennedy's assassination on Nov. 22. The same sort of widespread public demand was credited by a Treasury spokesman for adop tion of only two other such de signs, the Lincoln penny in 1909 and the Roosevelt dime in 1946. Barron said. "Students are pret ty limited in their means, but we hope that many will be able to donate textbooks. We all know that the Book Exchange doesn't pay that much for used texts." Because of the high cost of ship ping the books overseas, it will be necessary to select the books carefully, Barron added. "We are seeking quality above quantity, but we need both. Of course many of the books donated will have to be weeded out. These will be sold and the money given to the Uni versity of Algiers." There are two central collec tion points on campus at Gra ham Memorial and at Y Court. To supplement these, the presi dents of each living unit on cam pus are being requested to fa cilitate collection in their respec tive dorms, fraternities, or so rorities, according to Barron. All books donated concerning the sciences and mathematics should be up-to-date, he contin ued. Other kinds of books that would be useful he listed as fol lows: background publications on social, cultural, political, and economic affairs; atlases, disser tations, scholarly journals, dic tionaries from and into French or Arabic. General books such as would be more suitable to public library are not needed, he em phasized. , CHRISTMAS RIDES The Daily Tar Heel will print requests for riders or rides for the Christmas holidays.

By GARY BLANCHARD Republican State Senator , CharlesW S trm2 , deny ing , any WQng intentions, said . Tuesday he has no plans to remove his title of "Senator" from insur ance advertising meterials which are "blanketing the state." In a telephone interview, Strong also said he has found "Tremendous Eastern support for my candidacy for governor," and no support for the Speaker Ban law "once I explained to the people what it's all about." Strong, on a three-day tour of eastern North Carolina to gauge support for his candidacy for Congress or the governorship, said he does not think anyone is misinterpreting his title use to imply State endorsement of the student life insurance plan he is selling, nor should they . The Greensboro legislator and minister said he has assured himself that no illegality or "conflict of interest" is involved in his title use. The Valley Forge Life Insur ance Company of Reading, Pa., which Strong represents, last week began bulk-mailing sales materials ebout the insurance plan to parents of North Caro lina college and high school stu dents. Strong is identified several times in the material as "Sena tor" Strong. He said last week that this was done to eliminate confusion between him end an other Charles Strong in Greens boro. "We have checked the insur ance laws," he said Tuesday, and can find nothing illegal about this. I checked with the company this morning and they felt there's no conflict of inter est whatever I'm not seek ing business with the State, and the legislative session is al ready past." "The comment I've had so far is just 'Forget it.' I know my intentions and motives were right and still are," he said. Strong said his company is "blanketing the state" with mail to the parents of college students and high school juniors and seniors about the plan. Of his tour Strong said he is finding that "the Speaker Ban 'scare' is just not there in the grass roots, once I explain to the people what it's all about that this is an emotional piece of legislation designed to appeal to our glands rather than our minds." The controversial law was en acted last summer without for mal hearings or prior notice. Criticized as "vague and un necessary," it forbids known Communists, advocates of vio lent overthrow of the U.S. or State constitution or Fifth Amendment pleaders in loyalty cases .from speaking on state supported cempuses. Takes Workers Are Needed By UNC Campus Chest Betty Ward of the Campus Chest is looking for men to help fili the ranks of' her organiza tion. The Chest, which is the only official charity drive on campus, has an overabundance of pretty secretaries but very few men to provide the necessary leader ship. The Chest has a variety of ac tivities planned for this year, in cluding the annual carnival, an auction of valuable merchandise, and a program of related events. The Carnival, which is the highlight of the Campus Chest drive, has netted as much as $6000 in the past, and she hopes for a large sum this year. "There is no fair in Orange County, and therefore we have had large turnouts in the past," she said. Besides the usual rides, such as the ferris wheel and the tilt-a-whirl, the residence halls, fraternities, and sororities, will be asked to set up booths, and a competition will be held to de termine the most original one.

This city lived up to its reputation as a center of racial segregation Tues day when at least nine persons were jailed and others were har rassed by police after trying to gain service at five downtown businesses. About 25 persons participated in sit-ins at a Howard Johnson Res taurant, the Charcoal House, The Charcoalette, Virdan's Motel Res taurant and the Capital Theater Tuesday afternoon. Danville au thorities refused to say how many of these were arrested. A witness at the Howard John son sit-in said he saw a young Negro girl beaten and kicked by two Danville policemen when she refused to move from her seat at the soda counter. Of the nine being held on tres pass charges, only two would give their names, authorities said. Bond was set for these two at $300 apiece with trials scheduled for Dec. 13. Authorities said many of those arrested gave their names as "Freedom Now," "Black And White Together," "Equality and Freedom Now." - Those arrested in Danville's first anti-segregation demonstra tion in 16 weeks were believed to include three local Negro minis ters, who serve as leaders of the Danville Christian Progres sive Assn. and three field workers for the Student Non-Violent Co ordinating Committee and the Congress of Racial Equality. The other three were reported to be seniors in the John M. Langston High School. A large-scale street demonstra tion protesting the "Absence of an open city" was scheduled here yesterday, but only a handful of students appeared willing to parti cipate. A parade permit for the march had been sought Monday by integration leader Rev. L. G. Campbell . but was turned down because it had not been request ed 30 days in advance. Several hundred students were jailed in Danville early last sum mer and about 35 others reported ly were injured during civil rights demonstrations. 23 committee has sponsored air shows and parades in previous years to help in the publicity for the drive, and added money will be collected for it in door-to-door canvassing. Cosmo Club Holds Dance The Cosmopolitan' Club's semi formal Christmas Ball will be held in the Naval Armory Satur day night. Music for the Ball will be pro vided by the Southern Gentle men, a 10-piece orchestra, and will consist of standard ball room dance music with some twist end rock and roll sounds. During intermission' excerpts from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite will be played. An executive committee of club members, headed by John Clinard, will handle all arrangements. itle On II rarily become a one-way street beginning today. The one-way traffic situation, going west to east, was neces sitated by a series of ditches be ing dug to accomodate new power and telephone lines. "The new lines will replace old existing power lines which are inadequate," J. S. Bennett, di rector of development said. "It will step up the line volt age three times, from 2400 volts to 7200 volts," he said. Bennett said the one-way traf fic situation will be in effect for about 30 days, but he added that much of the work will probably be done during the Christmas holidays. "We will try to minimize traf fic congestion as much as we can," Bennett said. "But it is important that everyone be aware of the one-way traffic. That way, with everybody co operating, the situation can be handled easily and the proj ect can be completed as soon as possible." After the Cameron Avenue work is completed, the street will be opened again for two way traffic. Meanwhile, the line will be moved down Raleigh Street to Woollen Gym where it will connect with the present line. "While the project may cause some inconvenience, it will be much better for everyone con cerned in the long run" Bennett said. Pacifist Lecture Is Given Tonight David McReynolds, 34, of the pa cifist War Resisiers League will speak in Carroll Hall tonight at 8 p.m. on "The Relationship Be tween Peace and Civil Rights."

Duke signed the historic Duke Indenture which provided for the creation of Duke University, using small, but highly re garded, Trinity College as its nucleus. Knight Advertisement Johnson Bill To Intern Program Is Worth Doing By HUGH STEVENS (Second of four articles) "I can think of no more valu able experience . than the State Summer Internship program," Bill Aycock said. "I don't usually get enthusias tic about something like this, but this is worth it," Gil Stallings agreed. Aycock, a junior from Chapel Hill, and Stallings, a law student from Louisburg, were two of the twenty participants in the 1963 Internship Program in state gov ernment, and both are enthusias tic about it. Both were employed by agen cies of the N. C. government last summer for ten weeks, a period in which they worked on special government projects and attend ed seminars concerning every phase of North Carolina life. "I came away tremendously impressed with abiilty and effi ciency of the people who run our state," Aycock said. "I found people who are dedicated to good government, with a deep sense of responsibilty to North Carolina." in North Carolina. Stallings, who worked for the Public Welfare department, stud ied the characteristics of chil dren placed in foster homes in North Carolina. "These were children who, for one reason or another, had to be taken from their perma nent homes temporarily," he said. "I was designated to undertake a series of statistical studies, the findings from which I presented in confer ences with the agency heads." Both Stallings and Aycock agreed that such work was not only rewarding, but educational as well. Aycock was employed by the State Board of Education and did research on community colleges "This is the best way I know of to get first-hand experience in the workings of the state," Ay cock commented. "You can read a lot in textbooks, but nothing matches the laboratory exper ience of seeing the work first hand." "This is a unique program," Stallings said, "in that it offers participation in the dual capacity of student and employee." The two students also agreed Youngest In History lo lnaiLiserSite A Dr. Knight brings to Duke an impressive record of accomplish ments at Lawrence College and service to higher education at the national level.

"We heard leading political scientists, the heads of state agencies, state political leaders, and many others in short, the leaders in every important as pect of North Carolina life," Stallings said. "I personally found this the most rewarding segment of the program. I think it was the key to the whole summer." Aycock also said he found the seminars "interesting and informative." "They were out standing, in that we met the actual persons responsible for our state, and could ask them questions about their work." "The discussions begun in the seminars were continued by the students when they sat down to gether during their free hours," he said. "I think that living with the other interns (in a dormi tory of N.C. State) helped us to learn about all the agencies, as well as our own." "It was certainly stimulating to live with the others in the pro gram and share their exper iences, questions, and insights," Stallings commented. Both gentlemen agreed that their impressions of the state were not so much changed as solidified by participation in the program. "Probably the greatest value of the program is getting lead ing students interested in being responsible, participating citi zens of North Carolina," Stallings indicated. "While none of them may seek public office or state employment, they will be mem bers of boards, committees, and action groups that will influence the future of North Carolina." Aycock agreed, saying, "the program unquestionably builds leaders for the state. In the future, we will always come back to this experience as one which gave us a new under standing as citizens." Both urged students inter ested in the state to apply for the program, whatever their future field of endeavor. "It offers an unequaled op portunity," they said.

Lawrence has gained a nationwide reputation as a spawning ground for presidents of major institutions. ' Dr. Knight's own predecessor there was Harvard University Presi dent Nathan M. Pusey. Dr. Knight's administration at Lawrence saw the college pre pared for university status, which it expects to gain in 1964. There also was a 150 per cent increase in the book value of the endowment and a doubling of the book value of the college's phyiscal plant. A successful development campaign was waged, and faculty salaries were increased and the curricu lum strengthened. He holds four honorary de grees including the LL.D from Ripon, Knox asd Davidson Col leges, and the Litt.D. from St. Norbert College. WASHINGTON (UPD Presi dent Johnson instructed his con gressional lieutenants Tuesday to continue jogging the House and Senate for action as soon as possible on the controversial civil rights bill. At a White House conference, he told the leadership to im press on House members and senators that the issue cannot be "ignored for another 100 years or even another 100 days.

At pres ent the bill is bottled up in the House Rules Committee head ed by Rep. Howard W. Smith, D-Va. Smith, a foe of the legisla tion, has promised to begin a rules committee hearing on the measure sometime in January after Congress convenes for the new session. However, proponents of the bill have launched an effort to pry the bill from the committee and bring it up for floor action by means of a discharge peti tion. When the petition was for mally submitted Monday, 131 members quickly signed it but there was little immediate hope the move wou'd win the 213 signers required. The best estimate was that the total would run to about 165 or 170 signers. Should Smith continue to stall action, however a renewed drive mifrt send the move over the top. Speaker John McCormack told newsmen that Johnson was "very much interested in the discharge petition." He then read from a type written note: "The President urged us to impress on the House that this great issue cannot be ignored for another 100 years or even another 100 days." Johnson in his first appear ance before Congress following Kennedy's assassination, as signed top priority to the civil rights and the tax cut bill which had been advocated by his dead predecessor. The civil rights bill is ex pected to win House approval when it is brought to the floor.
