Truman Wires He'll Speak on 'Youth and War Progress
By Paul Komisaruk
Senator Harry S.' Truman tele
graphed yesterday that he would dis
cuss "Youth and the Progress of the
War," in his CPU Memorial hall ad
dress tomorrow night at 8:15.
Receipt of the telegram in CPU
offices here brought to mind the re
cent bitter blasts between war Pro
duction chief Nelson and Truman, and
brought to an end speculation that the
Missouri senator might heed- the re
quest of Nelson to lessen his attacks
against "Washington's dollar-a-year
men and the war effort.
It was stated -that a Truman talk
on the productive effort may mean
only one thing an explanation of the
sensational Truman committee re
ports, and suggestions on how to rec
tify them.
Less than two weeks ago, Nelson
publicly demanded that Truman and
his 10-man committee tone down their
attacks. Nelson complained that the
committee, was frightening all of
Washington's big business men out
of the capitol, and he threatened that
Congress would soon find it necessary
to draft these men in order - to fill
vital Washington posts.
The Missouri Democrat, fresh from
meetings with Thurman Arnold where
mat as lar as he and his committee
were concerned, "let Congress draft
these dollar-a-year men." Simultane
ously he announced there would be
no let-up in his investigations into
Washington's war effort.
Truman's announcement yesterday
revealing his speech topic put added
emphasis on his determination to con-r
tinue his committee's thorough analy
sis of the productive battle.
It was Truman, months ago, who
first charged that the dollar-a-year

Sessions Set
For Officers'
Training Meet
Announcement from Truman Hobbs,
student body president, last night re
vealed that the date for the Student
Officers Training school sessions this
year has been set for Wednesday and
Thursday next week, although a pos
sible change in plans was hinted.
The school will consist of two lunch
eon sessions at Lenoir Dining hall
Tuesday and Wednesday at 1 o'clock.
Tuesday's session will consider the
problem of the honor system on the
campus, how to enforce it, how to in
troduce it, and other problems connect
ed with orientation. The meeting will
be conducted by members of this year's
Student council.
Bradshaw to Address Luncheon
On Wrednesday Dean F. F. Bradshaw
will address the luncheon group of in
coming officers on the problems facing
the student government next year, with
special emphasis on the management
of student affairs during war-time.
Both sessions will be taken up large
ly with the free and open discussion of
the problems at hand and the answers
to questions that may be posed by the
incoming officers.
All officers that were elected to stu
dent government posts in the election
April 16 are required to attend these
traiing sessions for the preparation
of government officials next year. A
time-tested institution, the Officers
Training school sessions have in the
past raised the questions most funda
mental to the proper management of a
student body and proven "more than
helpful" in the training of officers.
Phono Record Gifts
Go to Graham Memoria
The 110 albums of classical rec
ords that .Thomas Andrews donated
to the University for the use of the
philosophy department have been
sent to the student union because
the limitation of space in Peabody
hall eliminated the music room.
Andrews, who Is a Junior philoso
phy major, recently donated the 110
album collection of records, which
includes both albums and single rec
ords, to the University. Bill Coch
rane, Graham Memorial director,
signified his intention of putting the
collection on hand for the use of
all students within a few days.

Drive Today
Chapel Hill's one-day Navy Relief
drive will stretch into the campus to
day when Bill Shuford and a four
student staff manage solicitation of
funds destined to protect the families
of the navy's fighting men.
With the Coed Senate's $200 to start
with and no definite goal to struggle
toward, Mary Caldwell, Dick Railey,
George Coxhead and George Hayes will
direct a campus-wide campaign
throughout the day. Dormitories, fra
ternities and sororities and town will
be personally canvassed by student col- i
lectors.
"We aren't campaigning so much for
large contributions as for small dona
tions by a majority of the students,"
Shuford maintains.' "That's the only
way we can show this State and the
Navy Relief society that this Univer
sity is really sold on strengthening the
navy's security and lessening hard
ships among families."
The town and campus drives today
are being staged in the middle of the
society's one-week drive for $5,000,000.
Totals of the campus collections will be
issued late this week, Shuford said.

of the 38 year old society, has stated

A two-to-one vote last night killed
the Di Senate's proposal to petition
President Roosevelt for the release of
Earl Browder.
Among 100 Di members and visitors
assembled, 13 members and 25 visitors
voted to seek Browtier's freedom, while
29 members and 35 visitors stood up
to disapprove the bill. ,
Harvey Segal, student proponent of
the Free Browder movement, spoke as
member after member gave up his
speaking time to permit him to continue.
I am here to seek the release of Earl
Browder because he was convicted on a
flimsy technicality, a charge for which
many others have suffered light pen
alties." Segal explained circumstances
of Browder's passport accusations,
and revealed the light sentences given ,
on the same count to "spies, white
slavers and narcotic criminals." He
quoted Browder's "prophetic" words
in his 1938 speech at Chapel Hill, when
he predicted a strong Axis menace.
However, one studen drew applause
for his statements that the courts were
so closely acquainted with the case that
no contradiction by a student group
was sensible, and that "it is for the
good of our country to accept the word
of our courts."
Since when is the Supreme Court
God?" a member remarked.
Carrington Gretter, Debate council
president, asserted that Earl Browder
in prison is more valuable to the Com
munist Party as a martyr than he
would be free. Another speaker count
ered that if Browder should be freed
because of trivial charges, "then so
should Al Capone."
When one member stated that peti
tions were useless in freeing Browder,
a visitor pointed out that "Mooney and
Joinings were pardoned after years of
petitioning."
Applause for the Browder side came
when one student answered the state
ment that the petitions are Communist
inspired with "Would you not accept
ideasyfrom a Negro servant or take
a lesson from a stranger on the street?
Wherever truth comes from, we
ought not ignore it. Perhaps, for once,

E. P. Coffey, chief of the FBI's
scientific Crime Detection -laboratory
in Washington, will deliver the In
stituteof Government's second an
nual lecture series next week in Gra
ham Memorial lounge, Albert Coates,
Director of the Institute, announced
last night.
Coffey's general subject will be
Scientific aids in crime detection as
developed by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation," and will include sep
arate lectures on the evolution of sci
entific crime Lection, on applying
chemistry, ph; ,ics and psychology to
crime detection, on European meth
ods of scientific crime detection, and
on the future of modern science in
criminology.
Founder and developer of the FBI's
world-famous crime laboratory, G
Man Coffey was once special agent
in charge of the Carolina branch of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In addition to being an expert in the
employment of modern chemistry,
psychology and physics in catching
criminals, Coffey earned a degree in
law from George Washington Law
school before beginning his work with,
the FBI.
After launching the national lab
oratory Coffey spent a year in Eu
rope studying their criminal labora
tories and methods of scientific crime
detection as a basis for comparison
with and improvement of our owns,
methods. Today the FBI leads the
world in tripping up careful crimi

the student body here in Memorial
