Gift OF
Benches
Barred

According to new develop
ment, the Town of Chapel Hill
cannot legally be given any of
the old pine benches recently re-
moved from the University S
Memorial Hall.
Last month the town formally
asked the University's Purchasing
Department for 80 of the benches,
to be placed on the street in the
business section. The matter was
considered settled when the proper
University officials granted the
request.
But now all that has been chang
ed by ruling from the State S
Department Of Administration. AS
a result, Alderman F. K. StrOwd
and other members of the town S
Memorial Hall Bench Committee
have received a letter from Uni
versity Chancellor William B. Ay-
cock saying the University cannot
give the town or any other non
state agency any state property
including the benches.
Chancellor Ayc0cks letter fol
lows in full.
On June l6, 1858, the University
OF North Carolina at Chapel Hill
wrote the North Carolina Division
of Purchase and Contract and re-
quested permission TO transfer
thirty old benches from Memorial
Hall to the Town of Chapel Hill.
On June 26, 1853 the following let
ter was received from the Depart
ment of Administration.
'Mr Barnes has referred your
recent letter regarding the benches
taken from Memorial Hall to my
attention. Mr.. Able Branch called
in reference to this matter and |
have discussed it thoroughly with
Mr.. Johnston.
1T is the concensus Of opinion
that these benches should be dis
mantled and stored. The material
from these benches could be used
in your normal maintenance work
and your institution will thereby
realize more of a return than by
any other procedure. AS Mr..
Branch has suggested. due to the
fact that some of the alumni have
expressed an interest in these
benches, twenty or thirty of them
should be set aside and notice CIV
en- through the Alumni Bulletin
that they are available for $40
apiece. Those who are interested
should contact your office and
arrange for purchasing The checks
should be made out in the name
OF the Purchase and Contract Divi-
sion and forwarded to MIR. Barnes

The General Statutes will not
permit the transfer OF material
owned by the State 10 anyone
other than a State agency.
Il sincerely hope that this
method OF disposal viii be salts

we can be Of further service to
you in regard to this matter,

In view Of the foregoing letter
the University at Chapel Hill can
not transfer rs or 30 Memorial
Hall benches TO the town Of Cha

Would Use Five Methods

"OSAO SoS = APS 4NASSAAON0
Any international control
system is likely to make use of
all the five principal methods
of detection at present in use.
These include a check of
radioactivity ir the atmoS-
phere or sea water. This meth
cd has almost no range limit,
and permits fairly precise iden-
tif1cation of the type Of weapon.
But it is almost useless in
detecting explosions deep un-
derground, or in localizing the
site of the explosion. It is also
much less effective against
small, tactical weapons and
against clean" bombs.
Another method is a check
of atmospheric pressure waves
caused by a nuclear explosion.
This can help to establish the
time and place of a test. but is
Ineffective against small or.
underground explosions.
New electromagnetic instru-
nents have been developed by
both Eastern and Western sci
entiStS to detect nuclear blasts
above ground. This method is
reported effective in detecting
a small explosion some 500 miles
away, but cannot detect under
ground tests.
Seismograph Range Limited
Underground explosions can
be detected by extremely SEN
sitive seismographs. but West
ern experts consider their eff
fective range limited to some
500 miles.
Finally, sound waves set up
by an explosion can be detected
by distant microphones. This
method also has a short range
of effectiveness.
In general, Western experts
consider that an effective con-
troll system would require in.
'ternational observation posts
located not more than 300 or
1000 miles apart.
This could mean some 20 OBJ
server stations in the Soviet
