just finished what will probably
be the most trying ordeal of his
college days-"hell week" "Hell
Week" is the informal imitation a
fraternity pledge has to go
through before he can become an
active member. The name is
enough to give one an idea OF
what it's like.
He was formerly initiated and
became a member on Wednesday,
April 4.
Woody, known on the college
rolls as Woodson Bradford Fear
ing, is now sophomore at Caro-
lima and intends to major in phar.

|YugosIayia 10 Spend
Nearly Fourth Of Her
Income on Defense
BY the Associated Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Dec.
29.-Yugoslavia will throw nearly
a fourth of her national income in
1852 into defense and armament
industries, hoping that deficit OF
about 80 million dollars will be
covered by surplus production, and
loans and grants from abroad.
The federal budget actually
allots IA per cent of the Belgrade
governments income to defense
and defense industry. This per-
centage figure. however, fails to
take into account the assumption
of many expenses, formerly
shouldered by the federal govern
ment. by state and local govern
mentS.
Total defense expenditures in
1852 will be approximately TOO
dollars. The national in
come is estimated at 1856, ,l58, ,000,-
900 dinars ($2.950.O0 ,O00).
"We cannot be blamed If we
have put a significant part of the
national income into defense, "
Boris Kidric, the nations eco
nomic boss, told parliament today.
I'VE would rather put this money
into capital investment, but when
national independence and free
dom is at stake it would be fool
ish not to prepare the army"
Despite the high rate Of de-
fense spending, he estimated that
the Yugoslav standard of living
would not be decreased in 1852,
he said it would not be
raised.

One reliable source said numer-
.ous complaints had been made by
the workmen to the Senate Pre-
Iparedness Subcommittee under
Chairman Lyndon Johnson, Demo-
crat, of Texas.
Complaints are that some pri-
waite employment agencies re-
cruiting workmen for overseas
bases have been charging exorbi-
tant fees.
Many workers, it was said, have
been forced to pay S per cent of
all their pay. including extra al
lowances for overseas travel and
subsistence.
Senators said they are trying
to learn why these overseas jobs
have been filled through the pri-
vate employment agencies.
Senator Hunt. Democrat, of
Wyoming, member of the
Preparedness Subcommittee, con-
f1rmed that the investigation is
underway, but said the matter is
still in a preliminary status"
