UNION OFFICIALS
HEED PRESIDENT;
TO END WALKOUT
Order Comes Through Executive
Council; Influenced by Work
of Mediation Board.
STRETCH-OUT ABOLISHED
Washington, Sept. 22. (UP)
America's greatest labor up
rising was ended today when
union leaders called off the tex
tile strike after three weeks of
bloodshed and sabotage which
resulted in 16 deaths and almost
unparalleled peace-time troop
movements. v '
Answer Plea
A call to 500,000 textile work
ers to return to their looms and
spindles Monday morning was
issued by the United Textile
"Workers in response to Presi
dent Roosevelt's plea yesterday
to end the walkout.
The order came through the
textile worker's executive coun
cil, which was strongly influ
enced by the settlement plan of
the President's mediation board
lieaded by Governor Winant of
3New Hampshire. '
Industrialists finally acceded
to the plan, which abolished,
among its three points, the
stretch-out system, so hated by
the striking workers.
The cost of the walkout is esti
mated to be between 50 and 75
million dollars, including lost
wages, property damage, and
national guard mobilizations.

of address it has been impossible
to reach the new men. Invita
tions will be distributed to them
"by this afternoon. Any fresh
men not receiving their cards
may call by Dean Bradshaw's

Freshmen are again urged to
-acquaint, themselves with the
xushing regulations, remember
ing that it is compulsory that

POLICE DISCOVER
HAUPTMANN AH)E
Friend Used Same Type Certifi
cates as Lindbergh Ransom
to Return to Germany.
New York, Sept. 22. (UP)
-The baffling kidnaping of the
Lindbergh baby in the spring of
1932 took rapid strides toward
solution today when it was
learned that Isador Fisch, friend
of Bruno Richard Hauptmann,
chief suspect in the case, used
gold certificates of the same type
as was used for the Lindbergh
ransom to pay part passage to
Germany from the United
States.
Fiscft, who left this country in
1933, died in Germany soon af
ter. Part of his passage was
paid in 10 and 20 dollar notesT
Hauptmann Weakening
Investigators tonight con
tinued to pile more and more
evidence against Hauptmann,
who was said to be weakening
under the constant pressure of
questioning. An important
break in the case was believed
near as Hauptmann was ques
tioned at the office of District
Attorney Samuel Foley and or
dered returned to jail for the
night.
The investigators tonight
turned their attention to trailing
others whom they believe con
cerned in the case. Further in
formation from official sources
is being kept secret. . s
Lindberghs Returning
It was learned, however, that
Colonel Lindbergh and Mrs
LindbergH would return here
next week from the west coast
where they have been taking a
business and good will tour, os
tensibly to take part in the in
vestigation.
The case which has been un
der constant investigation by
federal authorities, and which
was in a large measure respon
sible for the passing of the fed
eral kidnaping act broke into
the headlines Thursday when
police announced that the man
who had received the $50,000
ransom payment made by the
Lindberghs was under appre
hension. . ' '
Part of the money was found
in a garage near Hauptmann's
home in the Bronx! The prison
er, who entered the country il
legally in 1923 as a stowaway,
was fleeing from jail in Ger
many where he had been incar
cerated on a theft charge. ,

Enter The Finjan
By Pat Gaskins
The, new name selected for
the University humor publica
tion is the Finjan. The etym
ology is Arabic and the word it
self is taken literally from the
Arabic. The definition, as given
in Webster's International dic-
ionary, is "a small coffee cup
without a handle."
Not only does this new name
possess distinction but it also
has an authentic historical back
ground. The story goes that in
the year 1820 A. D., there lived
in Arabia a wealthy coffee mer
chant called Sa'id, whose son
Hafiz ibn Sa'id, resided in his
household. v
The father decided that the
United States at that time repre
sented a great potential field for
the sale of coffee. This country
had endeared itself to him by
taking the name for that com
modity from the Arabic name,
kahveh.
BATTERY OF TEN
ASPHALT COURTS
NEARLMISHED
To Have Courts Completed With
in Two Weeks Unless Bad
Weather Prevents.
LONG DELAY EXPLAINED
By Marion Alexander
Students who are interested
in tennis will welcome the news
that prospects are bright for
the immediate completion of a
battery of 10 additional asphalt
courts. - .
Work on the foundation and
drainage was completed and the
final grade reached .last Friday.
The workmen have been held in
readiness each day since to pro
ceed with the pouring of the
several coats of tar and asphalt
necessary to finish the surface,
but weather conditions have
forced a lay-off on the work.
Officials estimated yesterday
that the work could be finished
in two weeks of good weather,
and said that everything was set
to rush it to completion as soon
as there came a break in the
rainy season.
Foundation Done
The foundation and drainage
have been completed for another
battery of 14 asphalt courts and
about half of the work on the
final grade. It is estimated that
it will take about three days of
good weather to finish this ffrade
in addition to the time necessary
to apply the tar and asphalt
-This would give the Univer
sity a total of 26 all-weather
courts for the use of all students
in addition to the four clay
courts which are reserved for
the varsity.
The work of rebuilding the
courts was undertaken on the
strength of a grant from the
Civil Works Administration. It
was abruptly halted last spring
by the discontinuance of the
CWA.
Since that time officials have
been doing everything in their
power to make possible the com
pletion of the work, but handi
caps and difficulties standing in
the way of their efforts have
caused unavoidable delays.
:- A proposal to carry on the
work with the University labor
and funds was blocked by a gov
ernment ruling. The materials
which had been purchased' with
CWA funds, it seems, could not
be used if private labor were
(Continued on last page)
The son, arriving in this
country and being a person who
was interested in the newer
ideas which were to be found
among students, made a tour of
the leading universities in the
country, including the Univer
sity of North Carolina. He
found to his amazement that the
coffee cups in the boarding
houses arid university commons,
especially at this University,
were minus handles.
Upon his return to Arabia he
informed his father of this
strange custom prevalent in the
new civilization. His father
took the matter up with the
proper authorities on philology
in the country and the word fin
jan was coined for these handle-
lessscups. -
It is therefore with the sin
cere wish to perpetuate the be
loved memory of Hafiz ibn Sa'id
that the new publication is
solemnly christened the Finjan.

BOARD APPROVES
BUCCANEER MOVE
Student Advisory Board Sup
ports Decision of Council in
Forming New Comic.
The Student Advisory board
yesterday approved the action
recently taken by the student
council in abolishing" the Bucca
neer and creating a new comic
magazine devoted to clean hum
or.
The board took this action in
a motion which recommended to
the administration that it con
tinue to sponsor a student hum
or magazine, insomuch as it has
already collected the fees which
would have gone to the old Buc
caneer. ; ,
No Appeal,
At the same meeting, the
board recommended to the ad
ministration that the decision of
the student council in cases
involving honor be considered
final and subject to no higher
appeal.
The question which caused
this action to be taken was the
case of the student who was
found guilty of cheating at a
meeting of the council last
spring and again this fall when
his case was re-opened. It came
up for the board's consideration
as a result of the student's ap
peal to President Graham.
The Advisory board also dis
approved of any plan to put
three students in a dormitory
room.
