Stenographers, receptionist?, clerks laboriously and patiently cut off stamps from the discarded envelopes of the mountainous South building dai ly mail during lulls in their work, of course. Championed by Mrs. S. W. J. Welch, dispenser of pertinent information in the main floor lobby, the administra tive workers have already sent out three boxes full of the cancelled stamps, sale of which all over the nation is bringing in enough money to support three cots in a London hospital. The local scissors exercise is part of the movement to claim the salvage value of ordinary postage stamps for war aid. The rumor that they are used for dyes is incorrect and impossible, it is reported. Their sole use and value is for philatelic purposes. Precise requirements are laid for the trimming loose stamps are valueless, it seems, and the cut-off corners with the stamps attached are wanted. .

Yesterday at breakfast it was three; by noon it had rocketed to ,four. Still rising, by now it may be ten or better. - , , It all just goes &.?PJ- what happens when you try to be nice to somebody. There she was outside their dorm door. She was crying so they lei her in. No sooner had she entered the room than she crept under the bed and proceeded to have babies, or rather puppies. Earl Kastner, Julian Kline and Julius Amer have nothing against children but they feel that since their new offspring can't be deduct ed from their income tax; perhaps someone else would contribute to their support. The dog is yellow. "A female," Earl said. "It's just the color of do you know John Post? it's the color of his hair." At noon yesterday the strange young lady had given birth to one little "yaller" puppy.v . More are on the way and Dr. Kastner reported "Mother and child doing well."

' CPU Signs Price Fixer, Trust-Buster, WLB Chief By Paul Komisaruk The Carolina Political union made public yesterday that War Labor Board head, William H. Davis, Price Administrator Leon Henderson and head of the Senate's much-renowned Truman com mittee, Mississippi Democrat Harry S. Truman, had been signed to speak from the Union platform during the week of April 23. Announcement was made by Union chairman Ridley Whitaker, who declared that Carolina was going to be presented with "concise study of the government's war effort from three Washington figures best able to give." Davis will speak April 23, Whitaker said; will explain the touchy, long de bated labor issues. Price Fixer Hen derson will follow on the 24th, outlining the governmental politics on price fix ing, and discussing Congressional bat tles over price-fixing measures. At the week's end, April 30, Truman, chief governmental trust-buster and fore most administrative critic of the war effort, will attack and explain latest Truman committee exposures, dealing with charges against Standard Oil for sabotaging the war effort by entering into secret agreements with German firms. Admitting that some past speakers on the campus have been "reluctant to talk,". Whitaker asserted, "We're hav ing those men down to talk. They were signed with that purpose. Hen derson has already wired that he's com ing down here because he wants some one to argue with him." Dr; Graham will introduce Davis, and Miss Harriet Elliot, WCUNC dean, will introduce Henderson. Davis, 62-year-old lawyer who has been criticized for being "too saintly for the job he holds," leaped to nation al prominence months ago when he settled the troublesome Allis-Chalmers strike in 22 hours, after employees had been idle in the huge plant f $r two and one half months, and the Labor depart ment and OPM had muffed the job repeatedly. - More colorful thanJJavis, Price Fix er. Henderson,' second of the CPU's speakers, is clearly one of "America's New Bosses," who with his control of prices profoundly influences the cost of living in every home- in America. It is Henderson who became one of Roose velt's inner-brain trust in 1937 when he wrote his memorandum "Boom or Bust." Gallup Poll Investigated IRC, New Mag Seek Survey for UNC Combined effort by the IRC and New Carolina Magazine to investigate the abondoned Intercollegiate Gallup poll for possible reestablishment at Carolina was disclosed yesterday by Roger Mann, IRC president, and Henry Moll, mag editor. The speaker-discussion club and pub lication have temporarily joined to question editors of the Nassau Sover eign, .Princeton university magazine; and Dr. George Gallup, famed poll ex pert, to determine the advantages of setting up the widely-known Intercol legiate Survey at Chapel Hill. The Survey was abandoned by Gallup and the Nassau Sovereign last month because of "steadily growing responsibilities,-in other directions." Notice was sent to the IRC, which had been the Gallup poll's representative at Car olina. TheIRC had completed two monthly polls, tapping 200 representa tive students by private ballot. The IRC and New Mag, both wish ing to expand their present undertak ing, are seeking to determine the costs, mechanical methods and advantages of reviving the poll. If conditions ap pear attractive to bothIRC and Mag after the present investigation, Mann and Moll indicated that their organi zations would immediately ask that the Survey be surrendered to Carolina.
