He said a booth will be main enate WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate overwhelmingly up held yesterday a resolution supporting President John son's authority to wage war with American forces against Communists in South Viet Nam. And the House, in a swift, one-sided vote, approved $4.8 billion in new war spending. Johnson himself aimed a new peace appeal at Commun ist North Viet Nam. "Negoti ate peace and let war stand stand aside . . ." He said, "while the people of Viet Nam choose their government." In the Senate, cockpit of the great congressional debate on war and peace in Viet iam, five lawmakers backed a move to repeal the 19 - month old resolution approving the use of armed force against Communist aggression in Southeast Asia. Johnson's allies said the de cision put the Senate square ly behind the President's pol icy in Southeast Asia. But some senators who have questioned Johnson's position declared in advance that their opposition to repeal the reso lution was not an endorse ment of administration policy.

Wayne Morse, D-Ore., Wilkinson Talks At Duke, Hits Speaker Ban, HUAC By STEVE BENNETT DTH Staff Writer DURHAM Frank Wilkin son told the Duke Bar Asso ciation yesterday the House Un-American Activities Com mittee (HUAC) stands in di rect violation of the First Amendment, because its mandate from Congress limits Trustees' Decision Within Law Fridav Tells Panel By GLENN MAYS DTH Staff Writer University officials discuss ed the many aspects of the decision of the Board of Trus tees concerning the visiting speaker policy yesterday. Consolidated University Pre sident William C. Friday, George Watts Hill, member of the Executive Committee, Corydon Spruill, faculty chair man, and Frank Strong, UNC law professor, made up t h e panel. It was moderated by Dr. Henry Brandis of the UNC Law School. Friday said the speaker re gulations adopted by the trus tees Monday were required by law and they met the legal requirements set up by the N. C. Legislature. He stated the regulations adopted by the trustees. (The regulations are given on page 2 of the DTH). Spruill told the group the University is better off with the law amended but responsibil ity should be exercised in ac tions of students and faculty concerning visiting speakers in the future. "It is possible to have high MRC; Britt Gordon, vice pres ident of the student body, Beta Theta Pi and Pi Beta Phi. Morgan said the collection would last today only. He said this is an excellent chance to better the Universi ty's relations with the state, nation and world. War Funds sharpest critic of Johnson's Asian stand, proposed repeal of the resolution. "This is no time to pull the rug out from under the Presi dent," countered Sen. Lever ett M. Saltonstall, R-Mass. Morse made the move as an amendment to the war money bill, which has been it to investigations of ideas and opinions. Wilkinson, chairman of the National Committee to Abol ish HUAC, has been invited to speak at UNC tonight by the Carolina Forum. Wilkinson said, "I am plan ning to speak at UNC if per mission for my appearance is ly controversial speakers on campus, but we should inves tigate the circumstances be fore an invitation is made," he said. Spruill said the University h s been badly damaged by the Speaker Ban Law but he added it has also shown what a free university must be and what it means. He said the speaker policy adopted by the trustees h?s almost the force of law and is to be followed. "There will be some diffi culties that may be somewhat serious. We may lose some faculty members. I hope we won't, but we might," he said. He also noted securing fu ture faculty members may be more difficult. "We have a chance to make the situation better," he said. "We must tell the state what the University is and try at the s?me time to underst?nd the state." Strong, former dean of the Ohio State University L a w School, pointed out results of a speaker b?n at that institu te from 1951 to 1965. He said the psychology department was (Continued on Page C) To CARE Consolidated University Pres dent William C. Friday said Monday he would give "full support to CARE and the Ma rine Corps Reserve in their joint effort to give aid to the Vietnamese people who have been displaced by the Viet Cong." before the Senate for two weeks. The resolution declares that Congress "approves and sup ports the determination of the President, as commander in chief, to take all necessary measures to repeal any arm ed attack against the forces (Continued on Page 4) given. The reputation of UNC has been seriously impaired by the actions of the speaker ban law. I hope this will be changed." Wilkinson told of the great amount of damage done to the prestige of Ohio State because they temporarily banned him from speaking there. "I hope this same loss of prestige will not happen to UNC if I am prevented from speaking there," he said. "I feel that my speaking there would increase knowledge of students on HUAC." Wilkinson said the mandate given to HUAC by Congress is limited to investigations of ideas and opinions and should not include investigations of overt actions. He said, "Activities of such organizations as the Commu nist Party and the Ku Klux Klan should be investigated by the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives which is qualified to investi gate overt acts." HUAC has the right to the compulsory demand of an swers by persons summoned before the committee. Wilkin son feels, "Part of the free dom of speech is having the right not to speak." Wilkinson said one of t h e main charges he has against HUAC is the mockery it has made of the Fifth Amendment. (Wilkinson was sentenced to a year in prison after he plead ed the Fifth before HUAC, and the Supreme Court ruled HUAC had the right to de mand his testimony.) "I would have no objections to answering questions of the Judiciary Committee concern ing overt actions," he said. "I am against answering any questions asked by HUAC. be cause its actions iolate t h e First Amendment." Approval Not Official.

The new joint student - fa culty committee to advise the Gebeaux Steps Out Of Editorship Race By CAROL GALLANT DTH Staff Writer Howard Gebeaux, candidate for the editorship of The Daily Tar Heel, announced his withdrawal from the race yesterday. Gebeaux, who failed to receive endorsement from the publications board for the editorship last Wednesday, says he is withdrawing for personal reasons. He did not say he would support any of the remaining three candidates, Alan Banov, Ray Linville, and Fred Thomas. Banov said "Howard is a personal friend and I was sur prised at the announcement of his candidacy, but in a sense, I am disappointed at his withdrawal." Banov failed to receive the endorsement of the pub board but said he has the 145 re quired names on a petition to place his name on the ballot. He plans to keep circulating the petition til he receives sev eral thousand names. His campaign plans include visiting each dormitory, fra ternity and sorority house on campus. "I plan to conduct a fair and energetic campaign." Fred Thomas, endorsed by the pub board, says he will not start naming people for the staff. "I don't want it to .appear that I am bartering tor votes by offering jobs. I want qualified people regardless of who they support." Thomas's campaign plans also include speaking at dor mitory meetings. "I intend to conduct the campaign fairly, on a day to day basis. Ray Linville also received the endorsement of the pub board. When asked his reac tion to Gebeaux's withdrawal he said, "I feel that some one, in order to run for editor of the DTH, should have the endorsement of the pub board. This is the purpose of the board to see that candi dates are qualified to run." Linville plans to visit each dormitory and each fraternity and sorority house oh campus during his campaign. "I think it is the obligation of a can didate to meet the people he will be serving if elected." Linville has a "few, brief mental notations" regarding staffing, but will not announce them til after the election. "I would not want someone to feel obligated to support me." Dean Okays Late Hours By BRIAN RAY Special to DTH Dean of Women Students Katherine Carmichael said yesterday she approves the extension of closing hours, but there is the problem of staff changes and allocation of mon ey. The Women's Resident Coun cil last week extended the closing hours for upperclass men from 11 to 12 p.m. Mon day through Thursday effec tive next fall. Carmichael stated that the extension requires all dormi tory staff members to stay four hours longer each week. This requires more money. At the moment there is no money readily available. Penny Scovil, chairman of the WRC, said the extension had been discussed for three months. It was one of many recommendations of the Judi cial Reform Committee, es tablished by student body pres ident Paul Dickson. On the question of an exten sion on Friday and Saturday nights from 1 until 2 a.m. Car michael was negative. 'There is no reason for such an ex tension. The women may get late permission if needed. It is not consistant with other schools' closing hours in the North Carolina area." The 2 a.m. extension was discussed and rejected by the WRC last Tuesday night. chancellor on visiting speakers met more than two and a half hours yesterday, but Acting Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson refused to allow its recommen dations to be made public. "As far as I'm concerned, the matter is closed until to morrow," he said last night. 'The function of this com- Cyclone Fence To Be Hidden By Shrubbery The four feet high cyclone wire fence being constructed across the drive from Carmi chael Auditorium will be cov ered with ivy to help beautify the campus and hide the fence. . J. A. - Branch, University Business Manager, said "We wanted to cover the fence on the drive side with some type of hedge or shrubbery, but the fence posts have already been put into the ground in cement. "We thought about moving the fence posts back in order to plant the hedge, but ran into conflicts." O. K. Corn well, director of the Physical Education De partment, said, "The fence cannot be moved back because it would take part of our in tramural fields. We need ev ery inch of ground we have since some of our fields were taken in by the new Carmi chael Auditorium." John A. Bennett, head of the Buildings and Grounds Depart ment said, 'They ivy will be planted as soon as the fence is completed so that it will be well on its way to covering the fence by this spring. The fence is being construct ed to keep intramural players and activities from running into the drive. Four wide openings are be ing left in the fence to permit cars to park on the field dur ing functions at Carmichael. These openings will be chained off except when the fields are needed for parking during these activities. STEVE BENNETT. SP Passes Final Slate The Student Party calmly completed its slate of candi dates for the March 22 election Monday night and adjourned to where the action was the UP convention.

LYTT STAMPS. mittee is to advise me, not make its decisions public," he said. "I intend to consult with oth ers Wednesday before making my decision. I don't see how any institution can go through these procedures within 24 hours." Student Body President Paul Dickson said Wilkinson, head of the committee to abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities, will speak in Chapel Hill regardless of Sit terson's decision. "If they say he can come on campus he will speak in McCorkle Place in front of Graham Memorial at 1 p.m. and in Carroll Hall at 7:30," Dickson said. "If he is banned he will speak from the sidewalk near Graham Memorial Wednesday afternoon off school prop erty. His night speech will pro bably be in the Hillel House," he said. Eight student groups offially notified Sitterson Tuesday mor ning that Wilkinson was being invited to speak Mar. 2 and Herbert Aptheker had been LiLjLAr.' TEDDY OTOOLE (RIGHT) RECEIVED the UP nomination for student body president in close voting Monday night. Bill Pnrdy, selected for the vice-presidential spot, was unopposed. O'Toole Captures UP Endorsement By STEVE LACKEY DTH Staff Writer Teddy O'Toole captured the University Party nomination for student body president Monday night in what chair man Neil Thomas called "one of the closest votes in the his tory of the UP." O'Toole beat Sonny Pepper by a delegate vote of 184 to 175. Pepper received a majority of votes in all but four frater nities. O'Toole carried all res idence halls and sororities ex cept eight. Other students recieiving UP nominations for campus offices are: Bill Purdy, vice president; Judy Fletcher, secretary; and Don McPhaul, treasurer. These students were unop posed in seeking nomination. Pepper is undecided as to whether he will seek the pres idency as an independent. In accepting the nomination, O'Toole emphasized he alone could not win the election or have a successful administra tion, but it would take the ef fort of each member and stu dent. He said, "I pledge to you my utmost energy, experience and effort to make our student government one of the stu dents, by the students and for the students." Pleading for unity and help, OToole quoted John Donne who said "no man is an island entire unto itself." 'OToole outlined a seven asked to speak Mar. 9. Wilkinson spoke at Duke Un iversity Tuesday. The letter was signed by Dickson, George Nicholson III and Bob Powell of the Carolina Forum, Jim Medford for the YMCA, Eunice Milton for the YWCA. Ernie McCrary for The Daily Tar Heel, John Green backer for the Di-Phi, Gary Waller and Stu Matthews for Students for a Democratic So ciety and Eric Van Loon for the Carolina Political Union. The background information on Aptheker and Wilkinson re quired by the speaker rules was also given to the acting chancellor. Sitterson appointed the three faculty members to the advis ory committee on speakers Tuesday. They are: Corydon Spruill, chairman of the facul ty; George E. Nicholson Jr., chairman of the Faculty Ad visory Committee and Arnold Perry, chairman of the Es tablished Lectures Committee. Perry was out of town Tues day night and could not attend the committee's first meeting, which began at 5 p.m. point program he plans to fol low: 1. Reorganize the interview procedure for student govern ment positions because there are many students who would like to serve but are not at present able to do so. 2. Strengthen the communi cations between the president and the legislature. 3. Expand efforts by the stu dent administration in behalf on the residence college sys tem. 4. Reaffirm the indepen dence of the IFC and Pan Hel lenic Council. 5. Initiate a "Majors Week" in which all students could ob tain information from profes sors on majors available. . Bring the student govern ment back into the hands of the students. 7. Establish a responsible but dedicated approach to the "Paradox Crisis." According to OToole, the "Paradox Crisis" involves North Carolina's present con troversy over speaker policy. He said "legally the board of trustees 'owns' the Univer sity" and has authority o-er who speaks here, "but it does not own you and me who have rights to listen under the First Amendment." He feels students are united against the ban, but that the state's citizens are in favor of it. He said that the answer which will be reached "lies in dedication and determination, whether in the short run or the long run."
