Af7 f lit i Jl i 7 1 Gi mwB 1L .MeCartliY Farmed. By STEVE KNOVVLTON of The Daily Tar Heel Staff A handful of Carolina ?tudents are organizing themselves into a group to sup port Sen. Eugene McCarthy, D.-Minn.f for 'he Democratic nomination for President in 1X3. The group calling itself UNC Volunteers Tor McCarthy will hold its first organiza tional meeting at 8:45 Wed nesday night in Gerrard Hall. "Cur majcr objective now," said Michael Curtis, the group's acting spokesman, "is to carry on fund-raising for Senator McCarthy to help him during the upcoming primaries." The group's major cause for support, cf McCarthy is War-On-Poverty Extended 2 Years WASHINGTON President Johnson won his greatest legislative victory of the often-balky 90th Congress Monday when the House gave final approval to a $4.16 billion, two-year ex tension of the war on poverty. ' House acceptance, 246 to 149 on a roll call vote, of a com promise antipoverty measure sent it to the White House for the President's signature. (Action by the House, which has been frequently hostile to the President's programs this year, nailed down the largest authorization ever for the three-year-old war on poverty. LBJ Appeals For Anti-Crime Bill " SANANTONIO, Tex. President Johnson made ariew appeal to get his safe streets and crime control act through Congress Monday in view of an FBI report showing crime up 16 per cent. He said the nation could ignore the need for new federal sup port for local police departments "only at our peril." The Texas White House also announced that Prime Minister Levi Eshkol of Israel will meet with Johnson privately in Washington in early February. Eshkol will be visiting the United States in connection with an Israel bond drive. Reds May Hold Defense Jobs WASHINGTON The Supreme Court threw, out another pro vision" of the battered subversive activities control law Monday by declaring unconstitutional a section barring members of Com munist groups from holding defense jobs. In a test case brought by a Seattle, Wash., shipyard worker, the court held in a 6-2 opinion by Chief Justice Earl Warren that the job denial violated the 1st Amendment guaranteeing freedom of association. Warren carefully noted that Congress has the power to pass legislation safeguarding defense industries from sabotage or es pionage. But he held that the language of the 1950 antisubversive law was so loosely drawn it amounted to punishment for "guilt by association." Justice Byron R. White and John M. Harlan cast the dissent ing votes. Justice Thurgood Marshall, newest member of the court, did not participate. Senate Approves School Aid Bill WASHINGTON The Senate approved a three-year, $14.2 billion school aid bill Monday after pacifying Southerners who had feared its application under federal desegregation guidelines. The measure must be reconciled with a one-year, $4.1 billion House bill that was approved earlier. Fashioning of a com promise and final congressional approval probably will go over into the second session of the 90th Congress next year. Stalled for the past week, the Senate bill extends for three years beyond next Jury 1, a variety of programs to aid elemen- tary and secondary schools. U.S. Troops Take Village By Fire SAIGON American troops swept through the Communist j village of Truong Lam behind a cloud of tear gas Monday and burned it to the ground at the end of a major allied offensive that j killed more than 400 North Vietnapaese and Viet Cong. U.S. commanders said the allied assault on Truong Lam, 300 miles northeast of Saigon, deprived Communist forces of a base camp on the rice-producing Bong Son Plain. Men of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division Airmobile seized the coastal village late Monday after an hours-long drive that in cluded a heavy barrage of artillery shells and rockets. The place ! was abandoned when the 'Americans finally moved in, and they I set it afire with matches and cigarette lighters touched to tinder dry thatched huts. ; Congress Asked For Travel Laiv WASHINGTON The administration, under increasing demands for action because of Stokely Carmichael, asked Congress Monday to make unauthorized travel abroad a criminal offense. Undersecretary of State Nicholas deB. Katzenbach said the State Department sought passage of a bill providing criminal penalties for persons who go to foreign restricted areas without specific approval from the department. The proposed legislation, Katzenbach said, "obviously was related to travel by Stokely Carmichael and others to places such as North Vietnam." dissatisfaction with the course of the Viet Nam war, Curtis said. "After looking for the past number of years at the present policy of excalation of the war, ive have com, to the con clusion that a leader (president Johnston) -whose judgment is obviously so poor shouldn't continue in office." Besides the fund-raising campaign, Curtis said, the group "wants to carry out an intensive educ2tinn program about Sen. McCarthy. Thoma3 Eamon, graduate student in political science and a founder cf the group, said, "in recent months we have seen extra-legal and unlawful dissent and protest. We believe that if changes are to come, they must arise through the Itjr Datli) ear fyrl World News BRIEFS By United Press International legal democratic channels of cur political system." The group is also dissatisfied ith the President's domestic policy and the "credibility gap." Curtis and other members of ihe initating group said they believe that most cf the President's popularity in the polls despite the indication that fewer people . actually favor the President is due to what they call "the lack of choice in the candidates." s "It appears now," Curtis said, "that (former Vice Presi dent Richard) Nixon will be opposing President Johnson next year. And I believe that people realize that they are being offered not one centilla of choice in the matter of foreign policy." He said this was a major concern of the group "to of fer a real candidate who pro poses real alternatives to the present policy." James McCoy, another of the group's founders, said - the members of the UNC Volunteers for McCarthy "are not really leaders, but in itiators. "We have heard a demand for this sort cf thing in many places around campus. All we are trying to do is channel the activities of those who want to help Sen. McCarthy." Euman said that the "steer ing committee" had some con crete idea on raising money for the McCarthy primary cam paigns, but that "we'd rather wait and present .them to the ' larger group Wednesday night." Students, said Curtis, are the primary concern at the mo ment, "but, of course, any in terested faculty and staff who want to come and Join in are :mosHvelcme.i--" 26 Tame Jl Twenty-six seniors and June graduates were initiated Mon day afternoon into Phi Beta Kappa, the1 nation's highest scholastic honorary fraterni ty.

Phil Clay, director of the program, is asking interested students to get in touch during the holidays with Negro high school students who might be interested in going to Carolina, "We've sent out plenty of forms and pamphlets," Clay said, "but in recruiting it's much more impressive if personal contact is made." .
