President William Green says the AF of L won't join the group be cause, as he puts it, the organization is under the influence of the "Dictator in Moscow." The AF of L's rival union, the CIO, has asked a large independent union the Brotherhood of Railway Train men to pin forces with it. Phillip j Murray, head of the CIO, told the Trainmen's Convention at Miami Beach today that he'd like to see the two unions joined together for a fight against common foes. And he at tacked what he called the "fuddy-duddy leadership" of the AF of L.

Jacobson Appoints Kinberg To Managing Editor's Post By Helen Highwater In announcing the appointment of Jud Kinberg as Managing Editor of the Carolina Magazine, Editor Fred Jacobson explained that "Kinberg brings to this position a wealth of talent and experience which is hard ly equalled on this campus today." Kinberg's experience dates back to 1943 when he worked not only as Man aging Editor of the Tar Heel, but con tributed to the Magazine as well. Pre viously he had worked in association with some of the most successful Mag azine Editors ever to come to this University. Edited AMG Paper Following combat service fa Europe Kinberg took his journalism to Ber lin where he edited the official news paper of the American Military Gov ernment. The publication was interna tionally' credited with several news breaking stories; in particular the dis covery of the Nazi files in the custody of the United States authorities. More over the paper won fame for the out standing makeup of its weekly fea ture section. Kinberg concluded his Berlin service by working with the Associated Press. Having once witnessed the "golden era" of Carolina Magazines Kinberg expressed his anxiousness in bring ing the Pacemakers Award, given for excellence in the national college magazine field, back to the campus. Kinberg, a member of TEP, also writes for the Daily Tar Heel as a columnist. Nuernberg, Oct. 10 (UP) The Nazi war criminals have lost all hope of escaping the sentences imposed on them at Nuernberg. Tonight the Allied Control Council denied all appeals for clemency. This blanket rejection seals the doom of 11 of Hitler's henchmen scheduled to die on the gollows next Wednesday. And the prison terms of five others were not reduced. The four military leaders turned down the requests of Hermann Goer ing, Alfred Jodl and Wilhelm Keitel to be shot rather than subjected to the more ignominious death on the gal lows. They also flatly refused the plea of aged Erich Raeder to be shot rather than spend his last days behind bars. Will Get Gallows The communique did not say when the condemned Nazis would drop through the gallows trap. However, earlier official announcements named October 16th as hanging day at the Nuernberg prison. The Allied Control Council reported its decision on the Nazi appeals after a highly secretive two-day session. Only one of the dozen men given the death sentence did not file an appeal. He is Ernst Kaltenbrunner ex-chief of the German Security and Criminal Police. A routine appeal was filed even for the missing Martin Bormann the on-" ly one of the 12 condemned men who will escape the gallows next week. The Council also rejected the pleas against the mass sentencing of the gestapo, the elite guard and the police division. The Russian member of the Council ended the five-and-a-half hours of de liberation by once more restating the Soviet dissent on the Nuernberg ver dicts. Russia had protested the sentencing of Rudolf Hess to a life term and the acquittal of three men accused of war crimes. Charlotte Club To Meet Tuesday There will be a meeting of all mem bers of the Carolina Charlotte club in Gerrard hall Tuesday night at 7:00 o'clock, it was announced last night by Irwin Belk, president of the organization.
