UHC Library Chapsl Hill, K. C. UP BRIEFS Truman'sOffer To Railroaders May Kill Strike Two Unions Refuse New Wage Proposal The White House, May 22 President Truman tonight made the Brotherhoods of Railway Trainmen and Engineers a last-4 minute proposal for calling off tomorrow's strike. According to informed sources, the President's proposal would give the rail men the one dollar and 48-cent daily wage in crease they've been demanding. That's 18 and a half cents more an hour. The carriers promptly accepted the President's offer and so have 18 of the 20 rail brotherhoods, the two excep tions being the trainmen and en gineers, the two unions which threaten to strike tomorrow afternoon. After a meeting at the White House, the presidents of both unions said they would take Mr. Truman's compromise proposal under advisement. They must first, they say, consult with their men before coming to any deci sion on such a vital point as calling off the rail strike. But they promised to deliver their answer to the White House by noon tomorrow. The President met next with representatives of the major railroads. His conference with the management - officials was shorter than with the union men. Many Coal Mines Close Despite U. S. Operation Washington, May 22 The first day of government opera tion in the soft coal fields has pretty well told the story of what will happen under government control. The miners apparently will stick by their old motto "no contract, no work." An esti mated 100,000 miners stayed out of the pits today. Some 240 mines closed down and coal pro duction is sinking, particularly in Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio and West Virginia. Iran Measure to Stay On UN Council Agenda New York, May 22 The UN has decided to see the Iranian question thru to the end and Russia and some elements of the Iranian government are pretty bitter about it. In a nine to one vote today the council decided to keep the Iranian case on the books even though the Iranian government says the Red Army has packed up and moved out. U.S. Endorsement Given Jewish-Palestine Plan Washington, May 22 The United States has officially en dorsed the plan to permit one hundred thousand of Europe's homeless Jews to enter Pales tine. Several weeks ago President Truman gave his presonal bless ing to the plan and urged that it be carried out with the great est dispatch. Now the State Department has made it official. It says that Truman's approval of the im migration plan is the policy of this government. The State Department has over-ridden Arab objections with a- terse statement that any promise tos consult with the Arabs does not alter our de termination to press for "speedy transfer of refugees from Europe to Palestine. 1 VOLUME Liy Election Rumof Dance Committees Cancel Next Year's May Frolics Drastic Action Brought About By "Excesses All Future Dances To Be Scrutinized By Gene Aenchbacher After due consideration of the "excesses" of May Frolics week-end and of specific viola tions of the Dance Committee rule that forbids organized drinking parties before a dance, the student Dance Committee, in joint action with the faculty Dance Committee, has cancelled next year's May Frolics.

Pierce, who recently completed an exhaustive " investigation here, stated that his findings "did not disclose one iota of evi dence to substantiate a single accusation Henry had made" and that he was "totally unable to discover any evidence even re motely pointing to the veracity of Henry's charges." Henry's Charges In his letter to Governor Cherry, Henry charged Chapel Hill police officers and State Highway Patrolmen, in addition to University and village of ficials, with conspiracy to violate state liquor laws. Agent Pierce included in his. report to state headquarters, statements from 38 Chapel Hill residents, including members of the Board of Aldermen, law en forcement and court officials and University officials.
