Secretary Frances Perkins Will Speak And
Lead Forum Here Next Wednesday Night
CPU Guest Will
Be Honored By
Special Reception
Maintaining an established reputa
tion for presentiEg-natTDiially known
speakers on its forum, the Carolina
Political union will sponsor an address
here by Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins next Wednesday night, Janu
ary 11, at 8 o'clock in Memorial hall.
CPU Chairman Voit Gilmore said
yesterday that Miss Perkins will lead
the usual open forum discussion which
all speakers brought here by the or
ganization are asked to take part in.
Miss Perkins, in private life Mrs.
Paul C. Wilson, was scheduled to ap
pear here last December 8, three days
after President Franklin Roosevelt's
speech here, but urgent administra
tive duties forced her to postpone the
trip to Chapel Hill until this month.
PERTINENT SPEECH
Miss Perkins has indicated that re
cent developments in the ranks of
labor would make her speech very
pertinent. She is exnected to take
some official stand on the current la
bor split between the American Fed
eration of Labor and the Congress of
Industrial Organizations.
The speaker was appointed by
President Roosevelt to the folio of la
bor department chief soon after his
election to the presidency in 1932.
Thus she became the first woman to
hold a cabinet position in the United
States government. Throughout her
period of federal service Miss Perkins
kas been under political fire by op
ponents who claimed she has failed
to take any decisive action in the
direction of solving- current labor
problems. A movement recently start
d in congressional circles would al
legedly result in her impeachment or
otherwise cause her replacement as
secretary of labor.
According to present plans Miss
perkins will arrive in Chapel Hill
early next Wednesday afternoon. She
will be honored by a reception in Gra
kam Memorial at 4:30. Her address
iU be broadcast over a state-wide
radio hook-up.
Miss Perkins is the only CPU speak-

CHEATING RUMORS
President Says
No Ring Existed
In order to squelch some of the
rumors concerning a cheating ring

place during exam week last quarter,

impression that a large cheating ring
had been broken up and it was this
belief that Joyner wished cleared up.

ed and the remainder punished in a
slightly less severe' manner.
