’ Shortly after her arrival, the
Harrington manager, who also Is a
Tar Heel—R. XT. Brvce of Wilson—
decided to turn the conventional
dining room into a self-service res
taurant. making up the name.;
“Kitcheteria," for It. That was be

happen to Dr. 'Yank P. Graham of

Needless to say, the speculation
about Dr. Graham is not that he
will succeed the ousted Beyle as

former senator and university pres

One of the lending potential can

secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin,
a thicker of President Truman from
wev back, including during those
dark days in 194?, and an official
who has managed to stay clear of
criticism and smears alike In re
cent months.
. If Tobin gets the job—and there
are many observers who believe he
will be President Truman's choice
when the National Committee
meets three week.- hence to pick
Boyle's successor—the speculators
already are saying that Graham is
a likely choice as his successor.
LOOKING JOB FOR HIM
