Michigan Solon
Addresses Senate
Washington, Feb. 27. One of
the founders of the United Na
tions Organization a man who
has watchdd it from its birth in
San Francisco to the first meet
ing in London has a formula
tonight for making it work.
Senator Arthur Vandenberg
a Republican from Michigan
has made a full dress report
on the recent conference at Lon
don, on what he calls "37 vital
days." And Vandenberg has
come to the conclusion that
peace depends on mutual under
standing "of Russia's Commun
ism and American Democracy.
"We must," he says, "speak as
plainly as Russia does on all oc
casions. We must state our
ideals as vigorously as Russia.
And," Vandenberg continues,
"we must draw a line behind
which we will not compromise
our ideals."
Speaking to a packed Senate
chamber and crowded galleries,
the Senator from Michigan em
phasized that the United Na
tions must be made to succeed
because it cannot fail in an age
when as Vandenberg put it
"War may be waged in minutes
instead of years and ,when the
first casualty list may be the
last."

dent Truman's choice for Navy
Under-Secretary will have to
wait until tomorrow to give his
prepared . statement on why he
wonrt withdraw his nomination
The Senate Naval Affairs Com-
mitiee recessed tms evening
without giving Pauley a chance
to read his explanation. How
ever, Pauley was forced to sit
by while United Airlines Presi
dent William Patterson, gave
some sensational and damaging
testimony. Patterson said that
Pauley and other members of
the Democratic National Com
mittee sought party funds
from him in a manner he con-
sidered illegal.
Wage-Price Policy
Defended By Heads
Washington, Feb. 27. The
new wage-price policy especial
ly the price angle was the sub
ject of testimony today by the
two top guardians of the na
tion's economy. Both Economic
Stabilizer Chester Bowles and
Reconversion Director John
Snyder challenged estimates that
the new policy will boost living
costs 10 per cent. They assured
Congressional committees that
inflation can be licked if every
body cooperates.
The Senate, meantime, acted
to hold prices of basic foods in
line by approving a bill authoriz
ing increased federal subsidies
for meat and flour. But the Sen
ate was not so kind to the gov
ernment's price enforcement
agency. It jolted OPA plans for
extra price enforcement, officers
by halving funds which the
agency had requested to combat
the threat of inflation.

Bomb Defense

Notre Dame Professor
Says Problem Insoluble
No defense against the atomic
bomb is known now, "not even
in principle, and it is doubtful
if any such defense will be de
veloped," Dr. Milton Burton, a
member of the Association of
Oak Ridge Scientists and of the
Federation of Atomic Scientists,
said in an address here last
night. . f
The statement of one organi

detonate an atomic bomb wher
ever it might be located has been
developed has been "greeted with
stony calm, not to say. derision

For Elections
Vance Scores Work
Of Elections Group
Charlie Vance has announced
the formation of a special stand
ing committee of student gov
ernment to investigate the last
campus election, study the pres
ent elections bill and recommend
to the student legislature pos
sible changes in the methods of
conducting elections in the fu
ture. v
The committee will consist of
Ed Emack, chairman, Twig
Branch, Archie Hood, Lib Scho
field, Allan Pannill, Meadie
Montgomery, and Ruth Duncan
. Vance has issued the follow
ing statement in regard to the
work of the new committee :
"The manner in which the recent
campus election was held has
proved a disgrace to student gov
ernment. Certainly no one per
son nor one committee can be
blamed for all the inefficiency
which seemed to have reached a
new height in the secretary
treasurer run-off. The elections
committee' is at fault for not car
rying out the provisions of the
elections bill. The student body
is at fault for not reporting any
and all violations t)f the election
rules ; such as campaigning with
in fifty feet of the polls ; and the
student council is blamed for not
lending more aid to the enforce
ment of the election rules, al
though it should not be our duty
to be a police force.
"We feel that the Election bill
itself bears much of the blame
because it calls for these off sea
son elections. The very light
response in the last election
proved that the students do not
want to go to the polls every
month or so. This light response
on the part of the student body
adds to the ridicule of calling a
camnus wide election to fill a
AT
post which will again be vacated
in two months.

Committee Plans
Runoff Election
For Wednesday
The run off election for secretary-treasurer
of the student
body between Bob Stockton and
Blount Stewart will be held next
Wednesday, according to an an
nouncement of the elections com

week on the grounds that the
provisions of the elections bill
had not been carried out.
There will be a special meet
ing of the elections committee
today at 2 o'clock in the Grail
room at which all political party
chairmen, campaign managers,
party publicity chairmen, and
candidates will be required to
attend. According to Walt Brink

White Phants
Face Battle
From Terps
McKinney, Dillon
Prepared To Play
By Invin Smallwood
The 1946 edition of the Caro
lina White Phantoms, sporting
a won-lost record of 26 and
three, will stake their Southern
conference title on the block to
night at 7 :30 o'clock in Raleigh's
Memorial auditorium, meeting a
strong club from the University
of Maryland.
Maryland, although twice
beaten by the Tar Heels of Ben
Carnevale and Pete Mullis, gave
Carolina a close call , at College
Park a few weeks ago, and many
are giving the Old Liners a good
chance to upset the locals in the
initial battle tonight.
However, the Maryland crew
will not have the advantage of
a home court in the tussle to
night, and the Tar Heels will be
out to avenge the close call they
had in Maryland.
Light Drills
Coach Carnevale sent the Tar
Heels through light, though ex-
ensive, drills yesterday after
noon before calling it a closed
chapter until tonight. "Their
shooting was a lot better today,"
Carnevale said at the conclusion
of the workout. "They are in
pretty good shape for the con
test with Maryland, but Bones

Phi Assembly
Gives Approval
To Labor Bill
Voting to uphold the 65-cent
an hour wage bill, the Phi As
sembly Tuesday night advocated
the passage of the Pepper-Hook
Bill currently before the United
States Senate. Introduced by Al
Lowenstein, who urged approval
of the bill on the grounds that
it would be of great value in im
proving the present living con
ditions of the Southern laborer,
the Assembly vote lacked one of
being unanimous. Several other
speakers requested its passage
on the ground that it would bene
fit the common man in general
as well as improve Southern liv
ing standards.
A bill expressing disapproval
of the proposed appointment of
Edwin Pauley as Under-Secretary
of the Navy was passed.
Roy Thompson cautioned the
Assembly not to take a stand on
every measure before Congress
and to use judgment in sending
letters endorsed by the Assem
bly to Representatives and
Senators.
The Assembly voted unani
mously to notify the Art Depart
ment that they will be unable to
use the Phi Hall after this term.
Eastern Air Lines
Representative
Miss Alice Eckoff, of Eastern
Air Lines, will be on the campus

cational Office, 209 South.
