Another Strike
Soft Coal Owners
Will Meet Lewis
Chicago, Nov. 12 (UP) Some
: 200,000 packinghouse workers have
been ordered to prepare for strike ac
tion within two weeks unless the pack
ers agree to their terms for new con
tracts. The chief of the CIO United
Packinghouse workers, Ralph Hel
stein, says that all locals have been

fetrike funds, to oil up their strike
machinery.
Coal Operators Assemble

month. If the operators can come to
terms with Lewis on his wage de
mands, the government could turn the

German Atom Bomb
No More than Fizzle
Berlin, Nov. 12 (UP) It was re
vealed tonight that the Germans
thought they had produced the world's
first atom bomb. However, according
to a Northwestern University profes
sor of physics, all the Nazis had was
a relatively-inactive pile of uranium
and wax. It seems that the Germans
erroneously believed they had made
an atomic bomb when a , pile of uran
ium and wax went up m flames one
day. The . Nazi scientists who were
working on the pile were widely com
mended for their great discovery."
Record-Breaking" Crops
Forecast for America
Washington, Nov. 12 (UP) A
highly technical report from the De
partment of Agriculture tonight adds
up to welcome news for the nation.
The department's report reveals that
bumper crops have reached harvest
under favorable, almost ideal condi
tions. There have been no crop-killing
frosts in the big production areas
even to the north. As a result, the
department has boosted its estimated
corn production by more than four mil
lion bushels over its October estimate,
making it the largest corn crop on
record.
Quick Tax Reduction
Seen by House Leader
Boston. Nov. 12 (UP) The Re
publicans say tonight they intend not
only to cut taxes, but to cut them in a
hurry. Republican leader Joseph Mar
tin of Massachusetts, who is slated to
become the speaker of the GOP con
trolled House, says he believes a 20
per cent cut in personal income taxes
will be passed and put into effect in
the 1947 calendar year. The veteran
congressman says the Republicans will
act fast once Congress receives the
President's budget message. That mes
sage usually comes in January.
Antarctic Expedition
Will Leave Next Month
Washington, Nov. 12 (UP) The
Navy tonight released still more de
tails on its forthcoming Antarctic ex
pedition. The famed polar explorer,
Adm. Richard Byrd, will lead a force
of 4,000 men, 12 ships, and several
planes into the ice wastes, early next
month, according to present plans.
The purpose of the expedition . is
primarily a military one to study the
effects of extreme cold weather on men
and equipment.. It will consolidate
and develop the findings of Byrd's 1939
expedition to the South Pole and also
will develop Navy techniques for es
tablishing and using bases under polar
conditions.
SCHW to Discuss
Plans to Support
Strikers Tonight
The local chapter of the Southern
Conference for Human Welfare will
discuss further plans for the support
of striking employees of the Thomas
ville Chair Company tonight in the
Baby Lounge of Graham Memorial at
7:30 o'clock.
Bell spoke on behalf of the Thomas
ville local. Efforts were made to get
Doak Finch, president of the com
pany, or his representative to address
the group. However, Finch declined
to make "a public statement and did
not answer specific question as to
wage rates or to reply to union state
ments. The workers are striking for union
recognition, living wages, and ap
proved working conditions. At present
23 of Finch's employees are making
less than $18 a week. The SCHW
is raising relief funds on campus and
cooperating in attempts to end the
strike.

Union to Sponsor Contest
For Hawkins Day Pictures
Hundreds of busy cameras snapping everything on Sadie Haw
kins Day from Lena to over-loaded jeeps and wagons prompted
Martha Rice to announce a campus-wide contest of all photographs
taken last Saturday. Judging will take place November 30 and stu-
dents are urged to bring in their pic
tures immediately to have them put
on display in the Horace Williams
Lounge of the student union.

papers and letters from Basil Wol
verton, creator of Lena the Hyena,
and Al Capp, creator of Lil Abner.
Should Enlarge Photos
Students entering the regular photo
contest are urged to enlarge their
prints to one of the following sizes:
5x7, 8x10 or 10x12. Snapshots will
also be welcomed for the display.
A large glass case has been bor
rowed from the University Library
for use in showing the snapshots so
that no damage will be done to the dis
play.
Names of snapshot photographers
will be withheld if requested announc
ed Miss Rice, insisting that poor qual
ity pictures be turned in as well as
good ones. "Everyone will want to see
pictures of everyone else, no matter

said yesterday. He explained that the
Student party, which unanimously en
dorsed the petition, had selected the
three proposals included as the three
most important pieces of proposed

UVA Will Select
Officers Tonight
In Memorial Hall
The University Veterans associa
tion will meet for the first time this
quarter at 8 : 30 o'clock tomorrow night
in Memorial hall to elect new officers
and approve a new constitution.
In calling the meeting, UVA presi
dent Jim Chesnutt stressed the point 1
that it is particularly important at
this time for student veterans to elect
responsible officers to guide their or
ganization. "With the convening of the General
Assembly of the State of North Caro
lina and the Congress of the United
States near at hand, it is essential that
which have been arranged to expedite
the pledging procedure, Osgood ex
plained. Each person will be given a
form on which he will indicate his
fraternity choice. If the fraternity
indicated has bid for him, he will be
formally pledged at one of three desks
on the stage and sent immediately to
the new fraternity. Payment of a one
dollar pledging fee is required, Os
good said.
Silence Ends on Pledging
For individuals the period of sil
ence ends with arrival at the fra
ternity house following the pledging.
However, the general period of silence
will not be lifted until 6 p.m., Osgood
said.
Rushing bids were distributed more
than a week ago and since then rush
ees have been visiting fraternities.
Meeting in Graham Memorial last
night, the Inter-Fraternity Council
voted to reactivate the House Mana
gers association, organized several
years ago to correlate fraternity house
operational expenses, but discontinu
ed during the war. Leon Todd was
named chairman of the committee on
reorganization.
Against Vandalism
The council voted to ask the Men's
Panhellenic Council of Duke Uni
versity to take all possible measures
to prevent acts of vandalism during
the Duke-Carolina football weekend.
The Carolina council will take similar
steps, Osgood said.
The council decided against sending
a delegate to the National Inter-Fraternity
Conference which will be held
in New York November 28-30. Dean
E. L. Mackie will represent both the
council and the University as a whole
at the conference.
It was pointed out at Tuesday
night's meeting that annual fraterni
ty dues are to be paid this week. This
year's dues are $10.
Next meeting of the council has
been set for November 25.
Third Student Recital
To Be Presented Today
Mary Louise Emery, graduate as
sistant in the Department of Music,
you have adequate leadership to guide I and director of the student recital ser
your efforts towards getting increased
subsistence allowances, increased ap
propriations for education, and all ob
jectives for your welfare and the state
and nation's welfare as a whole," he
said in a letter to the veterans.
Auditions Will Be Held Tonight. . .
Organizer of New Campus Band Wrote
His Ork 's Theme Song While in High School
By Dave Owens
There will be a new dance band loom
ing brightly 'on the campus horizon
when auditions for all positions are
held tonight from 6 to 9 o'clock in Me
morial hall. The leader-organizer of
the Graham Memorial dance band is
Ned Reap, alert, brown-eyed veteran
from Albemarle. Ned started playing
the scales on his clarinet when he wa3
nine years old and his freshman year
in high school found him a full-fledged
member of the band. Two years later
he was named assistant director of the
school band and organized his own
seven-piece dance orchestra.
It was during his Junior year that
he wrote and copywrited his first two
songs, "lning. ualled bwing" ana
Dreamer's Serenade," still used as a
theme by the band. Since then he has
completed approximately 40 other
songs, varying in style from boogie to
ballads and blues.
Upon graduation from Albemarle
High, Ned toured several southern
states with Roy Nelson's orchestra. He
eft his featured spot in the clarinet
section of Nelson's band to enter service.
As fate would have it, Ned was
placed in the Army Reserves.and was
sent to State college in Raleigh to take
- '
NED REAP
specialized training in engineering.
The musician in him held on and Ned
organized a 15-piece dance band with
four male vocalists. He played for
military dances in and around Raleigh,
at Camp Butner and Camp Lee and
for several USO shows.
Upon transferring to Camp McCoy
ii Wisconsin, Reap took over the lead
ership of the 385th Regimental dance
band until it was sent to a combat
zone in the ETO.
Bob Hope Show
Once overseas, Ned got busy again,
organizing a nine-piece band from the
personnel of the 3rd Chemical Mortar
Batallion to play for the Bob Hope
show, then touring their district.
In May of this year Reap shed the
olive drab ana enrolled at Carolina this
past term.
"In coming to Carolina, I find there
is a need for a band of this type which
the "Dream Serenaders" will be. Our
object will be to provide good dance
music to the large numbers of stu
dents at reasonable prices," Reap said.
"One thing can assure us of having
a hit band," he added, "and that de
pends on the student-musicians who:
are capable of playing. If they stand
back because of lack of experience,
they will be doing the campus as well
as themselves a wrong. If they can
play, that is all I ask. Plenty of prac
tice is all it will take to produce a swell
band that the campus will be proud
of."
les, announces tne tnird Wednesday
afternoon recitals, to be presented
today in Hill hall at 4 o'clock.
Appearing in the recital will be
two violinists, David McAdams ac
companied by Bobby Whitesides, and
William Tritt,, accompanied by Frank
Groseclose.
William Fitzgerald, clarinettist,
will follow, with Mary Elizabeth Bur
rus at the piano. Other pianists will

Edwin Steed. Vocal numbers will in

and Edwin Easter, tenor.
