Truman Charges Companies
Take Heavy Fees, Profi
Senator Accuses
Standard Oil
Of 'Selfish Gain'
Bv Paul Komisaruk
Senator Harry S. Truman last
night bluntly charged companies
and individuals with making ex
orbitant fees and profits on de
fense contracts at the expense of
fellow citizens, and declared
"their greed knows no limits.
They have, taken advantage of
America in America's hour of
need."
Specifically, the Missouri Dem
ocrat named the Standard Oil Com
pany ofJMew Jersey and the Aluminum
Company of America as groups which
have exploited the productive efforts
for "selfish gains."
Truman, who addressed a Carolina
Political union audience in Memorial
hall, was vigorously applauded as he
explained Standard Oil's deal with the
German I. G. Farben company. "They
came as near treason as is possible to
come,
Truman declared.
Cracking down on these practices,
the Senator asserted that "the Ameri
can people will make sacrifices and
will spend billions of dollars for war
supplies, but they will continue to de
mand that not one cent shall be. lost
through waste, inefficiency or personal
greed."
Truman explained that Standard
Oil had entered into an agreement with
the German Farben Company in 1929.
Referring to the agreement, Truman
stated that Standard Oil was to receive
a monopoly in the oil industry while
Farben was to have complete control
of patents in the chemical field. "In
September 1939, they and the I. G.
Farben Company modified their agree

cKinnon to Attempt
Referendum Petition
Quiet Session Passes Long-Debated Measure;
PU Board to Appoint New Editor-in-Chief,
By Hayden Carruth
The Student legislature, meeting for its second major decision of
tile year last night, swept out of existence both the Carolina Maga
zine and Tar an' Feathers and created a new magazine, combining
the qualities of humor, literature and topics "of campus interest."
Ben McKinnon, recently elected editor of Tar an' Feathers and
leader of the opposition camp, declared his intention of seeking a
petition for a popular referendum to reverse the legislature's enact
ment. Desks will be posted at the YMCA and at Lenoir dining hall
to register the signatures of petition signers all day today, he an
nounced last night. ; !
One tenth of the enrolled student body must 'sign the petition before the
legislature can consider it a valid basis for the institution of a referendum
vote. One half or more of the student body must vote in the referendum for
its result to be considered effective.

Grail Group
Entertains
Recess Crowd
By Jimmy Wallace
"And now we have Tom Baden, the
sweetest hula girl east of Hawaii," an
nounced town crier Wiley Long yes
terday morning when a group rivalling
the dazzle" of Bagdad materialized on
the steps of South building.
For a moment it appeared that an
cient Rome along with negro "mam
mies" had been moved to Chapel Hill in
the rush created by the Navy. Then
students pierced the disguise worn by
the oddly dressed characters and found
that the annual Grail public initiations
were in the making.
Ben Snyder appeared clothed in a
diaper and rode by in a baby carriage,
Steve Karres in a negro "mammy" get-
up attended Snyder. Mike Carr, im
personating Sherlock Holmes, snooped
about with a magnifying glass and
scrutinized the legs of the coeds in the
crowd. Barry Colby, swathed in a
sheet and riding in a mule-drawn cha
riot did an impersonation of Caesar
while Mike Mangum followed the cha
riot with street cleaner's implements.
John Robinson stalked the crowd in
full Indian dress (loin cloth, bow, and
tomahawk), and George Paine with
full witch regalia cackled in his best
falsetto. Nothing could be complete
without some mention of a wedding so
the newspaper bedecked Long an
nounced the newly weds. Immediately
Bucky Osborne, the bridegroom with
out pants, with arms locked with W.
J. Smith, the veiled bride, strode sol
emnly by.
To top off the initiation, Denny
Hammond appeared as "Miss Ameri-
ca, wearing a Darning suit. Jiugn
Morton of photography fame brought
up the rear impersonating J. P. Mor
gan wearing red flannels complete
with top hat and cane.
Yesterday's performance was the
first step in this year's initiation of
the Order of the Grail's new members.
Thirteen undergraduates, six frater
nity men and six non-fraternity with
the thirteenth man coming from either
of the two, are inducted each spring.
A service organization, the Order
was founded in 1920 for the purpose
of bettering dormitory and fraternity

Parker to Speak
Before Law Group
Judge R. Hunt Parker, Superior
Court Judge from Roanoke Rapids; will
highlight the annual Law Association
banquet tonight at the Carolina Inn
with an address on the life of Winston
Churchill.
With Parker at the banquet table
will be Dean and Mrs. R. B. House and
Mrs. A. C. Mcintosh, wife of former
professor emeritus, Dean A. Mcintosh.
Class representatives will speak fol
lowed by the presentation of the an

Law Association, will preside at the
banquet which will mark the official
induction of the newly elected Law As
sociation officers for the next school
year.
unleash storms of opinion on the cam-
pus, the matter of combination passed
the legislature with hardly a flurry.
Although leading legislators predicted
a pitched battle of parliamentarianism,
a quiet meeting with little discussion
heard and approved the bill in approxi
mately three quarters of an hour.
The Bill to Establish a New Campus
Magazine, introduced by Ways and
Means committee chairman Lous Har
ris, provides for the new publication's
entry upon the campus scene at the
begining of the next fall quarter, leav
ing the status quo for the remainder of
this academic year.
Meyer or McKinnon
Sections three and four of the bill
provide for the selection of an editor-in-chief
by popular election and the
appointment of literary and humor edi
tors by the Publications Union board.
Section five, however, provides that
the first editor-in-chief shall be ap
pointed by the PU board from the two
editors-elect, Sylvan Meyer and Ben
McKinnon. The one that does not re
ceive the appointment will automati
cally become literary or humor editor,
as the case may be. The PU board will
choose a name for the new publication.

mor necessary to the campus in war
times," said McKinnon, who was ex

New License Tags
Must Be Bought
For Student Cars
All student auto owners who have
not bought licenses this school year
are required to purchase new licenses,
as no student car can lawfully be
operated on the campus for more than
two weeks without a license, it was an
nounced yesterday. Violators are
warned that their cars may be sent
home for failure to comply with regu
lations. Sticker-type student licenses are
available in the Director's office of
Graham Memorial, in the YMCA secre
tary's office and in the local police sta
tion for those students who do not
have a license.
These stickers will take the place of
the metal licenses which are now un
available due to priorities. Both these
licenses and the metal ones given out
during the school year will be valid
until January 1943.
Metal licenses bought previously to
this fall, those numbering below 277,
are not valid.
