New Regulation Proposed
To 'Disaccredit' Newsmen

Military theater commanders would
not have authority to strip creden-
tials from a correspondent and re-
move him from his area, under q
proposed new regulation of the Ma
tional Military Establishment.
Instead, only the Secretary of De-
fense could make the final decision
to "disaccredit" newsman. A COM
mander might recommend 1t to the
Army, Navy or Air Force chief. who
would relay it to the Defense Secre-
tary for final acton.
The proposed regulation has been
approved by the Secretaries of the
three services and now awaits
approval Of Defense Secretary
Forrestal.
The regulation would provide Spe-
officially that ''unfavorable criticism
of the armed services, boards or
Offices of the National Military
Establishment or any of its COM
ponent units or individuals, singly
or collectively, will not be q basis
for characterization"

Ten Thousand Dead

A revealing study recently COM
pleted by the Norwegian Central
Statistical Bureau shows that of
Norway's 100000 population,
10,262 persons died in action
abroad, on the Home Front, or in
Nazi concentration camps during
the five years of occupation. OF
these, S83 were women. Fighting
in Norway during and immedi-
ately following the German land
ings in 1910 cost the lives of 1854
Norwegians. Norwegian merchant
marine personnel suffered the
greatest losses of any single
group, losing a total of 1868 men
and 70 women. Most of these cas-
ualties occurred during the early
years of the war when the Nor
wegian merchant fleet constituted
such vital asset in winning the
Battle of Britain.
On the Home Front, Norwegian
resistance fighters lost 2.001 men
during action in Norway or in con-
centration camps in Germany
Three hundred siXty-siX NorWe-
gians were executed by the Nazi in

little hope for the missing woman

her own farmyard, swinging her

that there had been no berries.

Dragon Head For
Viking Ship

Following a lapse of nearly II
centuries, the world-famous COX
stad Viking ship now on display
in Oslo's Viking Ship Museum is
once again adorned with a jaunty
dragon head and tail. Much study
preceded the decision to add the
classical head and tail pieces
neither of which We're found in the
ancient burial mound where the
vessel was unearthed. According
to DR.. Fridtjov Johannessen, who
has devoted over 40 years of his
life to the restoration CT the ship,
it is now certain beyond doubt
that vessels of the Gokstad type
We're built with these removable
decorations. This is borne out by
various scenes from the famous
BayeauX Tapestry, showing YES
sels of the Gokstad type adorned
with these distinctive prov and
stern pieces.
The newly constructed head is
over SIX feet III nelSnl, elaDOfdlely
carved from a solid piece of wood,
and colored in black and gold. Its
style is taken from dragon-head
implements found in the hull of
the unearthed ship and the black
and gold coloring is identical with
that of Viking tent paintings
which have survived over 1000
Years in a burial mound. DR.. Jo-
hannesen who has personally SUI
pervised construction of the drag
on head and tail notes that the
present models are to be regarded
as provisional and that the final
form and construction of the
missing pieces has yet to be
determined.

Bitter Duel Seen Between Cloud And
RODGERS In Tar Heel Indian Grid Tilt

Richmond, Va, Nov. 4B
"A bitter duel between two
fullbacks is expected at Chapel
Hill Saturday when William and
Mary's Indians and North Caro-
lina's Tar Heels clash in a
Southern Conference battle.
The two fullbacks are Caro-
1ina's Hosea Rodgers and the
Indians Jack Cloud. Rodgers
and Cloud both were terrific
last week as the Tar Heels
downed Tennessee, AT, and
william and Mary trimmed the
University of Richmond, 14-e.
Rodgers is principally an Of
fensive player in Snavely's two
team system. Cloud is equally
effective on offense and defense.
Both are experts at pounding
into the forward wall and
both do little passing.
Snavely said yesterday at the
Tar Heels practice he expects
the Indians to be tough. Nc
Cray already had expressed his
