Lee said 30 families in the
Chapel Hill community are in
urgent need of housing that
rents for $100 or less a month.
Mayor Howard Lee has
issued an appeal asking for
information concerning
low-cost housing for families
now living in condemned
houses.
"If any citizen or realty
company,' Lee said "knows
of such housing units,, I
urgently request that you make
this information known."
Lee said the housing units
must be available now or in the
3ry near future. The public
housing units for the 30
families will not be completed
until early 1970.
The placing of these and
several other families is being
conducted by the Inter-Church
Council for Social Services and
the Housing Authority.
Anyone knowing of possible
units for the families were
urged by Lee to contact Mxs.

Hill Housing Authority at

n Armory Explosion
67)
WINSTON-SALEM (UPI)
An explosion apparently
caused by leaking sewer gas
wracked the supply room of a
National Guard Armory here
Saturday and injured 25 men
organizing for weekend drills.
Local hospitals said they
admitted 12 men, six of them
to an intensive care unit. The
force of the explosion ripped
or burned the uniforms off
some of the men.
The Army was flying in a
team of doctors from the
Brook Medical Center, Ft. Sam
Houston, Texas to determine if
the injured men should be
evacuated to military hospitals.
Brig. Gen. Roy E .
Thompson, assistant adjutant
general, said in Raleigh, "We
believe it was a sewer gas
explosion." A garbage landfill
lies under and around the
building and it was theorized
the gas had leaked through a
storm pipe into the supply
room.
About 300 guardsmen were
organizing for their weekend
duty in the drill hall of the one
story, brick and cinder block
building. About a dozen men
left the drill hall and went into
the adjoining 20-foot square
storeroom.
Before they opened the
locked vault in the room
containing weapons, the
explosion occurred, blasting
the wooden supply room door

The Committee for the

in Room 213 of the Student

According to a recent

"The state system must be

Guardsman Steve Everhart

reporters, "Somebody lit a

and it just went, period. I was
on the inside of the door. I
made a dash for the door; I was
just trying to get out of there.
All I saw were flames going
everywhere.
"I was lucky. I was the only
one who cleared the door. The
door slammed shut and some
of them were trapped in
there."
The door was opened from
the outside by Headquarters
Commander Capt. Ralph G.
Howell. Capt. Paul E. Sherman,
who was in the drill hall at the
time, said when the door
opened, "heat and dark blue
flames came out of the door
and singed several people
standing five to 15 feet out."
He said the men emerged
from the smoke-filled room
with burning uniforms and
fellow guardsmen rushed to
wrap them in blankets to beat
out the fire.
Sherman said the blast
produced "mainly heat and
little fire." Windows in the
supply room were blown out

According to the party's

Underhill, members considered
celebrating their anniversary by

and could be heard more than
a mile away. It was inside the
city limits of this central North
Carolina industrial city.
The armory, one of two in
the city, is occupied by the
230th Supply - and Transport
Battalion, commanded by Lt.
Col. Hurley D. King. King was
with his troops at the time of
the explosion.
The armory was closed and
put under guard after the blast.
It was believed gas was still
trapped in a culbert and
underground. The stench of
sewer gas remained strong in
the supply room.
Maj. James N. Stoneman
said the gas from a storm drain
leaking into the supply room
may have caused the blast.
Several days ago, men who
entered the room had
complained that they "goot
whoozy," he said, so attempts
were made to air out the room.
He said sanitation officials
had been out to check two
days ago but couldn't find any
gas leaking. He said they had
planned to come back the first
of next week after the building
had been shut up a while.
The 12 men admitted to
hospitals were Johnny Naylor,

Nixon Ready To Announce
New Latin-American Policy
THURMONT, Md. (UPI)
President Nixon announced
Saturday he would unveil his
new Latin American policy
Oct. 31, in an address to the
I n t e r - A m erican Press
Association in Washington.
Nixon press aide J. Bruce
Wheilhan said the Nixon
report, "a new policy for the
Americas," would include
many of the recommendations
made by New York Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller after his
stormy tour of Latin America
last spring.
Whelihan said the
Rockefeller report would be
made public after the
President's Oct. 31
announcement.
Nixon, who arrived at the
Camp David retreat in western
Maryland Friday evening, met
for nearly two hours with
Rockefeller, Charles IL Mayer,
assistant secretary of state for
Inter-American Affairs, and
Henry A. Kissinger,
presidential advisor for
national security.
COLUMBIA S.C.-North
Carolina took a half step in the
right direction here last night,
but like a frightened child too
scared to keep his foot in the
hot water, the young Tar Heels
retreated and lost a
hard-to-take 14-6 decision
when a fired up South Carolina
team fought back in the second
half.
Statistically, the entire game
belonged to the Tar Heels. But
when the chips were down
they still lacked the pay off
punch of a winner.
Carolina moved the ball
almost at will against ,the
startled Gamecocks in the first
half but seemed to freeze up
inside the 20 yard line and had
to settle for two Don Hartig
field goals. Although they
compiled all sorts of impressive
statistics, the Tar Heels have
still yet to chock up the first
important one a touch down.
In 120 minutes of football
to date, Carolina has had to
settle for three Hartig
placements in the scoring
column. Few games have been
won that way. None this
season.
South Carolina coach Paul
Dietzel said the Tar Heels
"really came to play," and for
the first two periods the
capacity crowd at Carolina
Stadium had little to cheer
about. In the second half, the
42,559 fans went berserk. The
Tar Heels stopped playing.
1. UNC rolled to 10 first
downs in the initial half, and
an inspired defense held the
bewildered Gamecocks to two.
The first one came on South
Carolina's third play of the
game. The second one came
with less that a minute left in
the half.
During the interim,
Carolina's young defense was
no less than brilliant, stopping
the Gamecocks cold time
after time. The vaunted USC
miming attack looked meek, as

WASHINGTON (UPI)-A
national student committee
said Saturday President Nixon
will not be able to ignore the
nationwide demonstration they
have planned for Oct. 15 to
protest his administration's
Vietnam policies.
Nixon said Friday at a news
conference that "under no
circumstances will I be affected
by" the Vietnam Moratorium
Committee's call for business,
college students and
communities to protest the
war.
David Hawk, a coordinator
of the demonstrations, told
newsmen:
"Unless the Nixon
administration makes a genuine
commitment to the withdrawal
Nixon also reviewed his
faltering legislative program
and looked ahead to the 1970
congressional elections.
Following lunch, Nixon sat
down with seven Republican
congressional leaders. They
were Senate Republican Leader
Hugh Scott and his whip, Sen.
Robert Griffin, both of whom
were elected last week; House
GOP Leader Gerald R. Ford,
House Republican whip Leslie
Arends, Sen. John Tower,
Tex., chairman of the Senate
Republican Campaign
Committee, Rep. Bob Wilson,
Calif., his counterpart in the
House and Rep. Rogers C. B.
Morton, Md., chairman of the
Republican National
Committee.
After nearly nine months in
session, Congress is far behind
in disposing of such routine
legislation as appropriations
and of priority Nixon
proposals, such as reform of
the draft and the postal
system. -

of calling a poor first half,

he did, the Carolina secondary

But while the defense held
the Gamecocks at bay, the
Carolina attack sputtered twice
after successful drives and had
to call cn Hartig'stoe.
His first attempt, a
49-yarder in the first quarter,
followed a 40-yard drive by the
Tar Heels the first time they
had the ball. Quarterback John
Swofford was dumped for an
eight yard loss on third down,
and Hartig's try was short and
wide.
The quarter ended scoreless.
After an exchange of punts
and a re-exchange of miscues,
Carolina regained possession.

According to Friday, the
educators will eye the
legislation from the angle of
of all American forces, unless
he departs from the policies
that led this country down the
road to disaster, this fall will
witness the largest, most'
broadly based and sustained
movement of all U.S. troops
... a demonstration of the
public desire for peace that
President Nixon will not be
able to ignore."
Hawk and Sam Brown,
another moratorium director,
said they do not want token
withdrawals or a
"Korea-like
situation." They
said they
planned monthly
demonstrations until there is a
complete withdrawal of
American forces in Vietnam.
