Briefs From UP
GM Mediators
Fail To Make
Any Accord
Labor Crises Arise
In Four Big Cities
Absolutely nothing- has been
accomplished at the latest series
of General Motors negotiations.
The CIO United Auto Workers
have announced tonight that no
agreements have been reached.
And the union has -called a na
tional conference of striking
GM locals for March 1st and
2nd.
For the moment, the General
Motors strike has been crowded
off the center of the labor stage
by municipal crises in four large
cities. New York's Mayor
O'Dwyer is hopping from one
conference to another, working
frantically to head off the trans
it strike that may come any time
after tomorrow midnight. The
latest development is that Ed
ward McGrady, the man who
was instrumental in settling the
recent tugboat strike, has been
working on the transit problem.
So has David Sarnoff, chairman
of the board of RCA.
Midnight tonight is the dead
line for another power shut-off
in Pittsburgh. Last-ditch media
tion conferences between the in
dependent union and the J)i
quesne Light Company at the
mayor's office ended tonight in
failure and union president
George Mueller ominously an
nounced : "Unless the company
has something to offer, I'm not
coming back."
The third of the three cities
with public service crises on
, their hands5 is Houston, Texas.
Some 40,000 union members are
getting ready to march on City
Hall tomorrow to show their op
position to the firing of 700
striking city workers. The so
called "one-day holiday" has
been ordered by AFL leaders in
Houston.
Finally, in Detroit, both bread
and milk are scarce tonight. A
strike of truck drivers has re
sulted in the shutdown of 15
bakeries, and the CIO's United
Dairy Workers are continuing
their week-old strike against
major creameries.

that an off the record poll by

that California oil man Edwin

Defense of OPA
Makes Stocks Drop
New York, Feb. 25. The na

peace was reflected indirectly in
a sharp dip in the stock market
todav, the sharpest since May
14, 1940. The break came on the
heels of a demand by Chairman
Marriner Eccles of the Federal
Reserve Board for extension of
the OPA, whose price ceilings
have been tied in with the re
fusal of certain key employers to
grant wage boosts. Eccles
coupled his demand with a warn
ing that the government's new
wage-price policy may possibly
raise living costs another 10 per
cent.

Relationships
Are Important,
Says Pearson
Canadian Ambassador
Evades Spy Question
The greatest post-war prob
lem for Canada is adjusting her
relationship to the great powers
of the United Nations as one of
the more important smaller na
tions and as the go-between for
the United States and Great Bri
tain, Lester B. Pearson, Caha
dian Ambassador to this coun
try, said in an address here last
night.
"It is all important to Canada
that the United States and Great
Britain maintain good relations
for if it came to a showdown, we
couldn't make a choice one is
as important to us as the other.
There would just be no more
Canada . if she had to make a
choice," he declared.
Ambassador Pearson spoke in
Memorial Hall under the aus
pices of the International Rela
tions Club, headed by s Buddy
Glenn, of Shelby, who presided.
He was introduced by Josephus
Daniels. Raleigh publisher and
former Ambassador to Mexico.
Guests at Dinner
Preceding the address, Ambas
sador and Mrs. Pearson were
guests of honor at a dinner given
by members of the IRC at the
Carolina Inn.
Many questions were asked
the speaker at an open forum fol
lowing the address. The inevi
table query about the atomic
bomb spy ring went unanswered.
"I wouldn't comment on that
even if I could," Ambassador
Pearson said. .
Veto An Objective
If the United Nations organi
zation is going to be effective in
promoting peace and internation
al harmony, every nation, both
large and small, will have to give
up something, he said. "And that
means the veto power, but it
would be folly to make that
change now. It should be the ul
timate objective, though," he declared.
Ambassador Pearson said
"Canada is much stronger and
it is more important for the
United States to work with us
now than it used to be because
we have developed as a smaller
power. Uur contribution to the
war effort (we were fourth in
the production of war supplies)
is recognized. We are develop

Spring Term Registration
Procedures Streamlined
Simplified Method to Allow Students
Five Day Vacation from March 20-25
A completely revised registration procedure for the Spring
Quarter, which will eliminate the cumbersome methods of pre
vious student registrations, was disclosed yesterday by Edwin S.
Lanier, Central Records Director and Chairman of the Registra
tion Procedure Committee which formulated the simplified, stream
lined plan. j
Q Hoiisp Annmvps
ri -
The new procedure, approved
by Chancellor House last Friday,
will be used with such minor
modifications as may be found
necessary from time to time
for subsequent quarters, for the
General College, college of arts
and sciences, school of commerce,
school of pharmacy, and the
graduate school.
A pre-examination registra
tion will make possible a free
period, or short spring vacation,
from the last day of final exam
inations, Wednesday, March 20,
until Monday, March 25. The
schedule is as follows : '
March 6-16. Registration for
all students now enrolled.
March 18, 19, 20. Final exam
inations for the Winter Quar
ter.
March 21 (Thursday). Open.
March 22-23. Registration for
all new students.
March 25 (Monday). Classes
for the .Spring Quarter begin.
Late Registration Fine
Students are urged to note,
Mr. Lanier said, that late regis
tration will cause great diffi
culties both for the student and
for the University officials. Con
sequently, a fee of $5.00 will be
charged all late registrants, who
can be excused only by a special
committee, on the basis of a
written application for exemp
tion supported by evidence of ill-
ness, deatn m tne iamny, or
military orders, which made reg
istration during the registra
tion period impossible.

ed in taking part in the work be

of France. The children, espe

even given the proper medical
care. There are projects of the
ARF that include knitting . and
sewing all types of garments,
packing parcels, and collecting
and shipping bundles of used
clothes for France.
Students Urged
"The first objective of the
ARF." said Mrs. Huse, "is to ob
tain an adequate numher of
members from the student body
to carry our work on efficiently.
For that reason we ask all mem
bers of the student body who
have some spare time during the
week to help us put our project
over."
There is a system by which one
or more persons 'can "adopt" a
French child living in a devas
tated region. The "adoption"
