Taken to the Cleaners
Statistics revealed in the tabulation below indicate the dif
ference in prices between the dry-cleaning plant operated by
.State college in Raleigh and the privately-operated establish
ments in Chapel Hill. ' .
Differences ranging from 9 to 41 cents exist on various items.
In all cases the prices at NC State are lower than those exist
ing in Chapel Hill. Moreover, service at the State dry cleaners
takes only from 1-2 days. Here on the Hill, it takes longer ; over
a week in some instances.
A comparison of the services at the two locales showed :
"Cme: At State, spots are removed in the basement when
marked on the ticket. Here, most of the cleaners are very care-"
less in removing spots.
Two: Service at State is for students only. Here, naturally,
no such service can prevail. As a matter of fact, all of the dry
cleaning places apparently have more business than they can
handle properly.
Of course, we aren't asking that local dry cleaners start op
erating on a non-profit basis, but we present the difference in
prices along with the information that the service given at
State is faster and more efficient at more reasonable prices.
Perhaps something could be done here to bring about a more
reasonable syste mof dry-cleaning for the students.
The following statistics were tabulated by Lester Sneed of
the University.

Legislature Faces Question
Of Student Congress Tonight
By Tom Eller
Again tonight the Legislature will
attempt to arrive at a decision upon
sending an official delegation to Chi
cago with the view of setting a United
States Student Congress into motion.
It would closely co-ordinate itself with
the International Students Organiza
tion. A great deal of friction has
hinged around whether or not it
should be official; the racial issue has
also associated itself with the pro
posal. Probability is that if it doesn't
get officially through the Legislature,
the sponsoring groups will be strong
enough to send their own unofficial
representatives.
Washington Merry-Go-Round
By Drew Pearson
LEWIS'S INCOME TAX PROBED; U. S. AMBASSADOR TO ARGENTINA
MAY BE FIRED; ANDREW HIGGINS ONCE HOWLED ABOUT TAXES.
Washington. Two weeks ago this column told how John L. Lewis had paid
out around ?300,COO of miners' dues to a Springfield, 111., mine owner, Carl
Elshoff, to keep his mine closed. It is now possible to reveal that since publi
cation of that column, the Treasury Department has taken the John L.
Lewis-United Mine Workers income tax return out of the files and is study
ing it with a view to possible prosecution. Back in 1943, the-Treasury had
probed this payment to mine-owner
the "moat" you find yourself. Many of Carl Elshoff, but despite the urging j to American newspapermen and State
that their administration is on a more
sound footing with South Building
than recent administrations have been.
Perhaps it all depends upon what
your definition of "diplomacy" hap
pens to be and upon which side of

Send the Band
Now, the season is over. From the tip of Florida to the heart
of Maryland, by trainbus, and auto, our football team has trav
eled and won games. They have established themselves in the
hearts of the football South.
Scholastically these boys have been called upon to make
, heavy sacrifices. They have given up three hours per day for
months of practice in Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. The
wives of the players have made generous sacrifices in addition
to these.
Now the very honor which they have coveted most must bring
what is to -most of them the greatest sacrifice of all the' loss
of their Christmas vacation.
With all this we as students, and instructors, and alumni must
now accept an additional responsibility. It becomes our duty to
make it as easy for these boys as possible and to decently at
tempt to assure them the victory at New Orleans. If it means
an instructor can permit a boy to take an examination a little
earlier and thereby spend two or three days at home which he
otherwise would find impossible it becomes his reasonable duty
to do so. .
This thing has been misinterpreted
and unfortunately delayed to the
point that accusations are being made.
However, it appears that the circum
stances lack of quorums as well as
considerable debate have been under
standable and neither the pros nor
the cons have had ulterior motives in
mind.
The lack of quorum on Sunday can
be blamed upon no-one except a foot
ball and general "home-going" week
end. ,
. . .Although he hasn't gotten
around to officially reporting to the
Student Legislature about his jaunt
to the University of Tennessee, Ray
Jeffries seemed mighty proud of the
fact that we were the only school
represented which could suspend a
student from school without having
the action first reviewed by the ad
ministration. . . .Some people feel that both Dew
ey Dorsett and Charlie Warren court
too much; nevertheless, it appears
us seem to be on the drawbridge and
just don't know what is the right
thing.
To the critics of Student Govern
ment who ask for new blood, we
say it's coming and in effective
doses. To this writer, it appears that
Ed York, President of Old East, is
about the most up-and-coming. In
less than three months, he has
brought his name to the fore of al
most any discussion for office hold
ers and he seems to have done it
by hard work and without too much
flourish.
Charlie Long is moving rapidly on
to the scene as is Dick Walker. (Ed's
Brother). Dean Mackie's son Bill has
returned with a bang and is really
digging in.
The two most improved men now
in Student Government, for this writ
er's vote, are Don Shropshire and Joe
Byrd.' Shropshire says studies are his
extra-curricular work and means it.
Few people do as many things as
efficiently as does "the Don." Joe
Byrd is easily the hardest working
man in the Legislature with the ex
ception of Charlie Warren, of course.
It's a pity he is a senior because he
knows how to work, and can parry
questions.
Jack Booraem is the recently ap
pointed student representative to the
Academic Calendar Committee. . . .
Wonder if he had anything to do with
the favor of South Building a little lour getting the extra day?
Chiseling Coed
Dear Editor:
This letter is in regard to the
chiseling coed. The only comparison
that could be made with this type of
individual is a gnawing termite. Since
the beginning of this quarter, I have
watched and experienced the "tooth
paste smile" of many a coed put to
use to seduce some sucker into let
ting her slip in line ahead of the vic
tims. It's about time that- these wom
en realized that because they are in
SO much demand (?) it does not give
them the right to prey on the poor
guy who won't say no.
However, there are a few good peo
ple here who know what is right. Yes
terday, one oi tnese termites was
ejected from the registration line by
a few hoots and howls from the poor
tortured souls who vowed to do it the
right way. But this is one of the too
few instances in which right is done ! !
If the shoe fits wear it, and I'm
of Secretary Morgenthau, experts fi
nally decided not to prosecute.
The facts in the case are that
Elshoff closed his coal mines on May
12, 1937, and remained closed for
nearly two years, during which he
received around $300,000 from Lew
is, who at that time was trying to
throw out of work a rival union
employed by Elshoff, which had won
an election under the Wagner Act.
Since he couldn't win out under the
Wagner Act, Lewis closed the mine.
Later he reported the expenditure
of the $300,000 in his tax return, but
Elshoff failed to report the $300,000
as income.
Thus the Treasury appeared at first
to have a case against Elshoff and not
against Lewis. However, when Lewis
discovered that the Treasury was
probing the matter, a series of notes
were sent by Elshoff to Lewis to make
the transaction appear as a loan. How
ever, the Treasury claimed it had evi
dence that the notes were pre-dated
and that this loan was pure after
thought to cover up the fact that Els
hoff had failed to pay taxes on the
money.
It was and still is the contention
of Treasury experts that Lewis was
guilty of conspiracy in helping Els
hoff avoid income taxes. This was
the ground on which the Treasury in
1943 wanted to prosecute. It finally
decided not to on the grounds that it
would be interpreted by a jury as
labor persecution.
Now that the Treasury has dusted
off the case and looked into it again,
the decision may be different if the
statute of limitations has not run.
Note. Some very big tax scandals
will leak out of the Treasury-Justice
Departments, soon. Certain big war
contractors who knew the right people
got off scot free. It will be the worst
scandal yet of the Truman Adminis
tration.

Breaking into Lines
To the Editor:
One day recently during a six min
ute period of Standing in the Lenoir
line I discovered that I had moved
BACKWARD four feet.
There has long been a mutter of an
noyance about the practice of break
ing into lines. Something is needed
to make that mutter effectively vocal.
I propose this plan with the hope
that it isn't unconstitutional, i.e., to
tempting to interfere with long-range . ., . . T
policies. h xt, mr . 1 x.

of co-education.
Now, during the emergency short
age of facilities, the policy should be I
clear-cut for both Woman's College

co-education is not feasible at Wom

should demand the establishment of
alequate courses for women at Wom

of co-education at Chapel Hill. The
existing policy: can lead only to
Woman's College becoming a sort of
Junior Seminary, or Prep School for
Chapel Hill. As such, its facilities
should be available to men, as well as
to women.
Sincerely yours,
MOULTON AVERY.

Department policy toward Argentina.
Braden, who looks soft but is tough,
will use these letters in a final show
down with Jimmy Byrnes. If Byrnes
doesn't act in regard to Messersmith,
Braden will resign. This, of course,
would be a stupendous victory for Dic
tator Peron, who made It quite clear
in his letter to Andrew Jackson Hig-
gins, tne Jew uneans Doat Duiiaer,
that he was conspiring to get Braden
removed.
ANDY HIGGINS TAXES
People who know the real inside
regarding Andy Higgins are wonder
ing how come he is commissioned to
trot around South America as a sort
of unofficial ambassador.
Eyebrows are especially arched
among those who know how Andy
Higgins got behind in paying about
a million dollars in income taxes dur
ing the 1944 election campaign.
At that time Higgins was chair
man of the Businessmen For Roose
velt Committee, and was slated to
make an important speech in Phila
delphia introducing FDR to a big
campaign crowd. Night before the
speech, however, Higgins got word
that Henry Morgenthau's tax collect
ors had been going through hi3 New
Orleans plant and found him behind
in taxes to the tune of around $1,000,
000. Furthermore, the tax collectors
were getting quite ugly about pay
ment. At this point uncle Andy nearly
burst. Calling in Roosevelt friends, he
told them that next day, instead of
introducing Roosevelt, he would come
out publicly for Dewey.
Finally Henry Morgenthau was
persuaJed to call off his Treasury
dogs for the time being, and Hig
gins made his Philadelphia speech.
Later he retained the law firm of
Hugh Fulton, former counsel to the
Truman Committe, to help handle
his tax matters. It is understood
the taxes are being paid up on the
installment plan.
Note Hugh Fulton, once one of the
closest men to Harry Truman, accom
panied Higgins on his unofficial am
bassadorial tour of Argentina.
FROM THE DIPLOMATIC POUCH
Bernard Baruch is urging President
Truman to appoint his brother, Her
man Baruch, as Ambassador to Eng
land. Herman is now U. S. Envoy tr
Portugal. . .Spanish Dictator Franco
sent an emissary to Portugal last
week to ask Don Juan of Spain to
come back and take over the Spanish
throne whereupon Franco would
step down. The plan fell through,
however,. when Don Juan refused even
to see the emissary. . .Secretary of
State Byrnes has decided to hold up
once more the $40,000,000 loan to Po
land until the Polish Government giv
es some guarantee of free elections
in January. . .Top U. S. decisions on
handling of the dangerous Greek sit
uation, which this columnist predict
ed on March 31, 1946, are being made
exclusively on the basis of information
furnished the State Department by
British Intelligence.
