Tar Heel Topics The linotype operator who set up a recent Tar Heel story of a speech on "Family Relations" to read "Martial Relations" is evidently married. Now if the Duke co-eds would only consent to participate in the next "Love Feast" with Carolina, this "peace conference" business would be absolutely perfect. If North Carolina college pres idents keep on resigning at the rate they have in the past few days, the state's unemployment problem will be in a fair way of being solved. "Changes in Rhodes Scholar ships Will Affect Carolina Stu dents,", according to one of the Tar Heel's aspiring young head writers. Yeah, but not many, buddy, not many. Those who served in France say that they can't repress a shudder when they pass the vicinity of old Memorial hall these days it reminds them of a battle-torn village. We mere stay-at-homes couldn't keeD from i shuddering when we looked at; the 'architectural monstrosity" iwi w oLttitcu tearing it down. A Nation-Wide Non-Partisan Survey Of Textile Industry Last Sunday a statement of "working principles" for the guidance of North Carolina in its industrial crisis was pub lished in a number of leading newspapers. Prepared by a committee composed of ten of the state's most moderate and thoughtful men and women and signed by 415 of its most prom inent citizens, the statement is a model of clear, sane reason ing. In the brief interval since its publication, the statement has attracted national attention. As was to be expected, most of the comment upon it has centered about the third of the four prin ciples, a request for a "nation wide non-partisan economic and social survey .and analysis of the textile industry." Unprejudiced and thoughtful men will not dis pute the other three "working principles for guidance": equal rights of person and property and lawful freedom of speech and assembly for all persons; collective bargaining; and social adjustment to economic changes. Probably the most conclusive indication of the real value of this suggestion for a textile sur vey is the fact that it has been attacked by representatives of the two extremes of thought concerning the present indus trial crisis the radicals and the reactionaries. Several communis tic organizations have circulated ed petitions intended to counter act whateveri influence the state ment -signed by "North Caro lina's Four Hundred" may have, while the Southern Textile Bul letin, organ of the ultra-conservative group, has bitterly at tacked both the statement and its promulgators. Denounced on one side by those who favor blood-and-thunder methods of force and violence unless all needed re forms are accomplished imme diately, and on the other by those who dogmatically assert that "the mills are ours: we have a right to run them as we please and we know how to run them best; the State has no call to interfere in our business, and we want no assistance from sharp-nosed busybodies," the proposal has evoked the en thusiastic approval of the great middle group between these two extremes. Thoughtful men of this middle group realize that the mill owners need expert ad vice from outside, that they have demonstrated through the depression of the industry dur ing the past ten years that they are not conducting their plants as economicaliy and efficiently as they might. The suggestion for the survey represents an at tempt to secure the true facts concerning the textile situation and to utilize them in devising means of extricating the indus try from its present critical position, with mutual benefit to mill owners, workers and the general public. A recent analysis of the tex tile situation by Dr. C. T. Mur chison demonstrates the possi bilities of the proposed survey. Appearing in the current issue of the Virginia Quarterly Re view, his article has received nation-wide commendation. It was selected as one of the ten most important magazine art icles of the month, and textile experts have praised it highly. Already some of the facts re vealed by his study have. been used to bring about actual im provement in the situation. The proposed survey would be a gigantic elaboration of Dr. Mur chison's study. While the committee which prepared the statement did not outline a method for conducting the survey, its recommendations were independent of any issue as to whether Congress or the! Federal Trade Commission should make the proposed inves tigations. It rather proposed a study and analysis of the type conducted by Hoover's presi dential commissions. This anal ysis would be made by those most competent in all fields re lated to the textile industry, by men and women recruited from the ranks of the nation's fore most experts. , The commission of the type which the signers of the state ment have in mind would unite the energies and abilities of a score and more men of Dr. Murchison's calibre, represent ing every ' field of work connect ed with textiles. Gathered in a single body would be authorities on marketing, manufacturers, experts from several federal de partments, representatives from schools devoted to problems of business organization, authori ties on labor legislation, the foremost textile industry his torians, and textile engineering and production experts. The personnel of the commis sion would include men such as these: - First Group : Experts on tex tile engineering and production from the Lowell Textile Insti tute, The Philadelphia Textile Institute, N. C. State College and Clemson College. Second Group: Experts in Business Organization from the Harvard School of Business Ad ministration, Wharton School of Business Administration, Univ. of N. C. School of Commerce, Univ. of Georgia School of Com merce. A few men of the type of Dr. M. T. Copeland of Har vard University, author of the classic Cotton Manufacturing Industry of the United States; and Charles W. Tillett, Jr., of Charlotte, a great lawyer and expert on business organization. Third Group: Manufacturers. Men such as Stuart W. Cramer of Charlotte, president of the highly efficient Cramerton Mills, nationally minded industrial statesman; Henry P. Kendall of the Kendall Mills, Inc., with plants in the North and South, one of the greatest powers in the textile industry; Edwin Farnham Greens, president of the Pacific chain of mills with plants in the North and South; Kemp B. Lewis of Durham, ex ecutive of the Erwin Mills; F. B. Gossett of Charlotte, execu tive of the Chadwick-Hoskins Mills, and George S. Harris of Atlanta, one of the famous Cotton-Textile Institute. Fourth Group: Legislation. Men and Women such as Dr. John B. Andrews, Ph. D., of Columbia University, one of America's leading experts in labor problems and legislation; Mrs. Dexter Otey, Ph. D. in Eco nomics (from a German univer sity), member of the brilliant Lewis and Langhorne families of Virginia, beloved citizen, social-minded wife of a manu facturer and author of a volume on labor laws in a former tex tile survey; Dr. Mercer Evans of Emory University, a thor ough student of industrial prob lems; Ward Thoron, treasurer of the Merrimac Manufacturing Co., of Massachusetts, who led in initiating a comparative study of the textile industry in North ern and Southern states ; labor leaders like T. A. Wilson, mem ber of the North Carolina In dustrial Commission; W. C. Birthright, executive of the Ten nessee Federation of Labor; and Dowell Patterson, president of the South Carolina Federation of Labor, member of the state legislature and chairman of a committee investigating the South Carolina strikes ; and mill executives of the type of R. Grady Rankin, secretary-treasurer of -South Gastonia mills, an efficient manufacturer and a member of the committee of in- i - . At TkT t- J . austry oi tug n. . oonierence on Social Service; and Kemp Davis Battle, brilliant lawyer, member of the board of direc tors of the oldest cotton mill now running in North Carolina and chairman of the committee on industry of, the N. C. Conference on Social Service. Fifth Group: History and Social Relationships. Men and women such as Dr. Holland Thompson (of , Cabarrus coun ty) now professor of American industrial history at College of the City of New York and author of From Cotton Field to Cotton Mill and The New South; Dr. Bradus Mitchell (born in Miss, and educated in S. C. and Va..), professor of economics at Johns Hopkins and author of Rise of Mills in the South and Life of William Gregg; Miss Harriet Herring, member of Institute fpr Research in Social Science at Univ. of No. Car. and author of Welfare Work in Mill Villages; Miss Lois MacDonald of Winnsboro, S. C, graduate of Due West, Ph. D. N. Y. U., and author of The Southern Mill Here. Sixth Group : Commission and Selling. Experts from such houses as Hunter Manufactur ing and Commission Co., Deer ing, Milliken and Co., Amory and Brown, 'the Cannon Mills, and the Cone Export and Com mission Co. Seventh Group: Experts from the Departments of Labor and Commerce and the Textile In stitute. A man of great synthesizing ability and experience, prefer ably Dr. Walter H. Hamilton of the Yale Law School, who cor related the results of the study by the President's .Commission of the coal industry. A survey conducted by a group of men and women like these would be equally beneficial to the manufacturer, the worker and the consumer. The commis sion would proceed carefully, devoting a year or more, to its study, if necessary. In its in vestigations it would be impar tial and unprejudiced. Certain ly no one has real reason to ob ject to a survey of this nature, and potential benefits are almost without limit. Pm joints ? By H. J. Galland Visitors to New York are of ten moved by the increasing size of the skyscrapers in the down town districts to speculations a bout the city of the future. Double-deck 'streets, 100-mile-per-hour traffic regulations, set back buildings rising to tip the clouds such ideas easily come to mind. ft t Chapel Hill may not have its skycrapers, but the flying school near town supplies food for thought. Airplanes droning over the campus in increasing numbers lately give us a fore sight into the future. Most stu dents are now so used to the sight that they rarely look up, unless the plane is unusually low. Yet, high or low, one air plane makes enough noise to take anyone's mind off the date of the Beluchistan Rebellion or the name of the era following; the Carboniferous, or whatever the study of the moment may be. t t t If one plane is enough to dis tract the student now, what will it be like in a decade or two, when airplanes are ' common ? Soundproof reading rooms are not inconceivable and if , BAPTIST Eugene Olive, Pastor 9 :45 a. m. -Sunday school 11:00 a. m. Morning services.

And, as every one doesn't know, the South ap parently still conserving some remembrances of a certain lit tie fracas some years ago, the last time the flags were out was on the occasion of the birthday anniversary of Lincoln, who seems to have be'en a politician or something in the North. ,t t t In the recent Chapel Hill court case concerning a dog al leged to have bitten several people, there was mention of its gustatory tactics with Abbott, one of the men who carry the mails. We should like to know if Abbott was carrying any let ters for the owners of the dog. If he wasn't, then our sympa thies are wholly with the mutt, for we've often felt like running out and biting the mail man in the leg when he passed us by with a cheery nod, but no let ters. t t t It is difficult to get through a column this week without some mention of the resignation of President Chase. Anything that may be said will probably be repetition, which is the rea son for trying to refrain from commenting on the news with which the campus is at present agog. The President's record of achievement with a University suffering from growing pains at the time he took office, the fact that he was a Northerner and not a native North Carolinian, the regard with which he is held in this state, and the widespread regret caused by his leaving, are too well known to require fur ther comment. t t t Outstanding, however, is the sincere admiration and respect of the student body for Dr. Chase. Young men and women are prone to criticize more free ly than their elders, yet we have never heard a word of criticism against him, and he has always, so far as we know, received the whole-hearted support of the students of the University. In itself, this is no mean achieve ment, i t t' f And as we go to press, all seems quiet along the Carolina Theatre front. Praise be! METHODIST C. E. Rozzelle, Pastor 9:45 a. m.

Tar Heel Manager Expresses Views On Theatre Controversy (Continued from first page) charge after careful deliberation and consultation with experi enced newspaper men. The action, be it understood, was not taken because certain members of the staff held passes to the theatre, but because the heads of the staff, acting in con sultation with some members of the Publications Union Board, in the absence of conclusive proof of unfair prices, thought the best policy for the interests of stu dents to be that which the Daily Tar Heel has previously main tained. A subsequent advertisement carrying the allegations of the students was not accepted be cause the advertisement scurril ously charged that the communi cation had been refused by the Open Forum column because members of the staff had been "bought off" with passes an ac cusation unfair, untrue, and li bellous on its face. We trust this explanation will be taken for what it is worth. We hope those students respon sible for this movement - will make sure before going further that the prices they complain of are unfair and represent an un reasonable percent of profit. We hope that they will understand that when such is proved, the Daily Tar Heel will gladly take up arms in their cause, but that meanwhile it is for the best in terests of all concerned that the Daily Tar Heel be absolutely non-partisan in the matter, as has always been the custom in the past. M. R. ALEXANDER, Bus. Mgr. GLENN HOLDER, Editor WILL YARBOROUGH, Mgr. Editor. PRE-LAWS TO ORGANIZE Dean McCormick, of the law school, announces that it is planned to form an organization of pre-law students. A prelim inary meeting is to be held Mon day night at 7:30 in the third year room on the second floor of the law building. The Dean urges that all students who in tend to enter the law school next year attend the meeting if pos sible. You never see a woman with a wasp waist these days, but you can find plenty of them with its disposition. t
