He traced Chinese economic development from the chaos which existed prior to the rise of communism to the present state of relative stability and continued growth.

The speaker expounded on the six stages of economic development in Communist China: WAR - RECOVERY ( 1949-52) When the communists took over in 1949, China was a war-torn, inflation stricken na weather, unrealistic policies, and technical errors resulted in a ssricuseconomic depres sion. However, the regime managed to distribute food to avoid widespread famine.

Dr. Eckstein was born in Yugoslavia and attended Berkeley. He served as research associate at Harvard's Russian Research Center in the University of Michigan. He is presently a member of the National Com mittee on U.S. Chinese rela tions. In a speech entitled "The Dynamics of Development," Dr. Eckstein discussed the economic growth of China since the Communist take-over ur. Eckstein called this "a unique historical event." While others had tried, none had at tempted the task with a nation of such magnitude," he said. ! He said that the Communists were faced with an overpower ing urge to industialize in order to catch up with Russia and the western nations. .The movement, inspired by Chinese nationalism, was fostered by a desire for digni ty, power, recognition and revenge against the nations which had exploited it for almost a hundred years. Eckstein pointed out the tion with a fragmented agricultural ana mausinai pro economy.

The students complained that the only Negroes accepted as customers by Johnson's Barber Shop are the five who attend Davidson as students Johnson's is the main The six barbers working the owner, Ralph Johnson. Picketing started about 4:15 p.m. shortly after two Negro residents of Davidson were refused service. Police told the pickets they would have to leave becatfse they did not have a permit. After that, the students passed our leaflets urging a boycott of the shop. Fayetteville Guns Ordered Home FAYETTEWIXE Sheriff W. G. Clark ordered his men to leave their service revolvers at home Tuesday to "dramatize" the importance of law and order following the conviction of a deputy on an assault charge. There were no serious incidents reported during the time the deputies were unarmed, . from about 7:00 p.m. Monday until Tuesday evening. Clark's order to his 30 Cumberland County sheriff's deputies came after Jimmy Mabe was convicted of shooting George Bell, 25. Mabe was attempting to arrest Bell at the time of the March 13 shooting. "I ordered my deputies to put aside their sidewanns for a 24-hour period to bring this point home to the people of Cumberland County and North Carolina," said Clark. LBJ Wanted Line Drawn-Mansfield WASHINGTON Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield said Tuesday President Johnson -wanted to ban the bombing of North Vietnam above the 20th parallel but was persuaded to drop a specific demarcation line from his Sunday night speech. Mansfield said the President was dissuaded by the State Department, which did not want a bomb-proof 'sanctuary as part of a new peace move. The 20th parallel crosses North Vietnam about 75 miles south of Hanoi and about 225 miles north of the Demilitarized Zone. The Senate leader disclosed Johnson's thinking after Chairman J. William Fulbright, D-Ark., of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee charged in a' senate speech that the bombing halt appeared to be "a very limited change" in Vietnam policy. Daley Courted By McCarthy. RFK CHICAGO Mayor Richard J. Daley, leader of the powerful Illinois Democratic organization, revealed Tuesday he has been courted by both Sens. Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene J. McCarthy since President Johnson announced he will not seek re-election. Daley also told a news conference that he and the President did not speak of Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey during a "general" discussion about politics, Vietnam and city problems while Johnson was in Chicago Monday. Stickley Proposes Branch Offices GREENSBORO Jack Stickley, republican candidate for governor, proposed Tuesday the establishment of a branch of the governor's office in every major population area to foster closer contact between the state's highest elected official and the people. "For too long has the state government been some mysterious, untouchable, unknowable entity in Raleigh, distant from the people's needs and problems," Stickley told the Greensboro Board of Realtors. "We propose a branch of the governor's office be established in every major population center of the state of North Carolina," he said. By TODD COHEN of The Daily Tar Heel Staff The Student Legislature Finance Committee unanimously passed Monday night a proposal requesting $700 for an experimental bus system. The bill will be presented to SL Thursday night with a favorable recommendation by Lacy Reaves, Chairman of the committee. Pending pa s s a g e by Legislature, the Student Transportation Commission, which proposed the , bill, will complete plans concernmg operation of the bus line. Jed Dietz, a member of the commission, hopes the system would begin operation shortly:: after spring break. The Commission plans to run: two buses in and around the campus for an experimental -period of five days. Mr. A.S. Waters, Chairman -of the Traffic and Safety Com mittee Monday offered to fund the commission an additional $350. This sum would finance a single bus for "a second week. The busses, with a capacity of over 100 passengers, will cnarge 10 cents a ride. Campus, past Scott College, Y-Court, through Morehead and King Colleges, and back to South Campus by way of Wilson Library. Reaves feels the proposal is "undoubtedly the best possible plan for a transportation system." He said people have been working on similar plans for the past two years, but pro blems have always arisen. These problems included the initial cost of purchase and liability cost. ynder the proposed system, the economv and making it viable with zeal and effective organization. By 1952 industry, agriculture and transportation were beginning to function again. THE FIRST FIVE-YEAR PLAN (1952-57) The nation showed impressive economic success and rapid growth dur ing a period of booming population expansion and in tensive urbanization. Industrial growth was unmatched while agriculture lagged behind causing serious food shortages in the cities and a dearth of raw materials. THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD (1958-60). During this period, the leaders of the nation mobilized the masses for a great push forward through the "sound barrier of development" towards status as a self-dependent economy.

THE CULTURAL REVOLU TION (1967 to present) Information .concerning the economic progress of China since the advent of Mao's cultural revolution has been very sparse because of a virtual black-out. Apparently, however, the na tion's industry has suffered to some degree because of the wdiespread turmoil which the cultural revolution has caused. Agriculture has been affected less because the "revolution" has not really penetrated the countryside. China. Eckstein said the nation has shown a rate of growth vh:ch compares favorably with that of other nitions on a historical basis. However, he said the rate ot economic progress was low in comparison to the spurts of other nations (such as Japan, Russia, and the VS.) over i similar period of time. Dr. Eckstein said that Giina possesses capacities which have not been adequately utilized by the present regime. He feels that it will take China at leasi a hundred years to become a fully-industrialized nation, but he added, "I think China will be a significant in dustrial nation long before she is fully-industrialized." "In a sense," he continued, "China is already a great power because she is able wield great influence on the interna t:onal scene, and she can brin great power to bear on the rost cf Asia."

Dick Levy, the initiator of the- survey, will, present his results and conclusions to Stu dent Legislature Thursday night. The bus bill is scheduled to go before SL at that time. Levy said he would also present information on "ex actly what the situation con cerning the bus proposal has been all along. The students are being misled," he said. The door-to-door poll will at tempt to gather information on the following points: willingness to pay a dime or nickel or dollar a week for unlimited bus transporta tion willingness to take bus to campus more than a half-hour before first class time of first and last classes location of dining hall, Campus (Chase) or main campus. ' Datty operation from the Raleigh city isus Lines. This aspect of the plan places the responsibility for insuring the buses and, passengers on the bus company rather than SL, Reavds says. Reaves views the proposed $350 grant from the ad ministration as "complete University approval en couragement to student in itiative." He does not foresee "any objective to the bill from any member of Legislature. It is a well-researched, well-planned bill." Principal workers on the proposal were Bill Darrah, John McMurray, and Dietz. The purpose of establishing an experimenal program, ac cording to the commission, is that it would "provide in valuable information and hopefully will lead to the establishment of a permanent transportation system." Levy feels the bus system will break even financially, but believes the experiment "will prove nothing because the de mand for the peak periods will be more than the proposed two buses could handle. He said if the demand for the busses is more than he assumes, he will suggest to the Legislature that the number of coaches in the pro posed program be increased, perhaps tripled or quadrupl ed. Jed Dietz, a member of the Student Transportation Com mission which proposed the bill said the commission "is very, pleased that students are beginning to respond to the new bus experiment." "WTe want to work with any person interested in helping," he added. John McMurray, also a member of the committee said the commission is being ex panded "to make it more representative and effective. "Constructive and responsi ble efforts on the part of many students are what are needed to make the experiment a suc cess," he said. Dr. Zagoria Talks Today On Viet War Dr. Donald S. Zagoria, Director of the Research Institute on Modern Asia at New York's Hunter College, will address the Carolina Sym posium this afternoon on "The Sino-Soviet Split and the Viet Nam War." Zagoria's speech, to be given 2:00 p.m. in Memorial Hall, will primarily be concerned with his recent book, Vietnam Triangle: Moscow, Peking, Hanoi and the War in Viet nam. Dr. Zagoria, a graduate of Rutgers University, worked for the U.S. government for ten years as an analyst of Com munist Affairs. In 1963-1964, he was awarded a grant by the Rockefeller Foundation to do research in south and southeast Asia. He also did research in India for the Social Sciences Research Council and the School of International Affairs at Columbia University. In a significant panel of speculatory speeches on the University of North Carolina campus here Monday night, statesmen representing four international powers reflected their countries' relationships with the world's leading Com munist nation, Red China. Representatives of the U.S., Great Britian, India and Yugoslavia were among featured speakers at the 1968 Carolina Symposium on "Red China and the West." leading up to the situation between India and China to day. The culmination came he said, when China tried to isolate India and in 1962, at tacked her. "China's problem is political.
