Washington, Dec. 11. (UP)
Unemployment being ,what it
is in this country, you wouldn't
think the-U; S. A. would have to
send out 49,200 documents '- be
fore it could hire a "; mechanic,
but that is the situation fellow
citizens; and nothing can be done
about it except to . amend the
Constitution. .:. '
Most anybody else could get a
mechanic by walking up to one
Civil Service Commission Distributes
49,200 Documents For One Mechanic
and saying "Want a.job.at 50
bucks -a .week with Saturday af
ternoons off ?" , But the govern
ment doesn't do things that way.
It has. to abide by . what it calls
official rules and regulations of
the United, States Civil : Service
Commission"T-ra i phrasfe j which
some, unpatriotic ,-cymcs insist
on condensing into "red tape."
Mechanic! Mechanic!
Now it happened that up in
Philadelphia where the govern
ment has a naval aircraft fac
tory, the boss decided he needed
a mechanic. He passed the word
along to Washington where the
Civil Service Commission look
ed up the rules. The rules said
that the Commission had to in
form every mechanic in the
United States that there was . a
job open in Philadelphia. If
there turned out to be one, lone
mechanic in the middle of Death
Valley who didn't know about
the job, all sorts of catastrophes
would occur, including some five
hour speeches in. the Senate.
Well, the Civil Service Com
mission buckled down to busi
ness and, the -first thing it did
Bing Crosby Makes
Bet With N. C. Dorm
was to print 16,000 copies of
an 1 announcement saying i t
would like to hire a mechanic.
These were mailed out and post
ed in public buildings in every
city and town- in the country.
Then it occurred to somebody
that maybe: all " the mechanics
didn't hang around pourt houses,
so 15,000 announcements ; were
sent to district, managers of the
Civil Service Commission who
were instructed to spread . the
news around. S r
Commission Worries
By that time! there : were
roughly 100,000 mechanics who
would have been tickled to death
to take the job in Philadelphia,
but the Civil Service Commis
sion was worried over the fact
that maybe there was a mechan
ic somewhere who hadn't' even
heard of Philadelphia, much less
the job. ' - :
So 18,000. more announce
ments were sent out- one for
every daily and weekly news
paper. By this time, of course,
xms Dusmess oi senamg an
nouncements was running into
big dough, but the Civil Service
Commission decided to have one
. n t i AAA
more nmg. it sent zuu an
nouncements to magazines deal
ing with aeronautics and engi
neering, and challenged anybody,
to find one single mechanic who
didn't know about the job.
Whether the boss up in Phila
delphia ever got his mechanic is
a mystery and the Civil Service
Commission is too tired to wor
ry about it. ' . ." ' ' "

: Bing, Crosby, popular crooner
of radio and moving pictures,
last . night --in his nation-wide
hook:up program for the. Wood
bury ; Soap Company made a
wager with the residents of Lew
is dormitory on the outcome of
the Alabama - Stanford Rose
Bowl game. , , . . '
In a recent program, the sing
er, stated , that Alabama Univer
sity would see stars .when it
meets its opponent, the Stanford
Cardinals. -
The boys from Lewis were
quick in voicing, their opinion to
the contrary in a special-delivery
airmail letter to the popular art-:
ist, , ? v.;. ' ,, .': :.r
Last night, Bing announced
that , should Alabama win the
game, the Carolina dormitory
would be the recipient of a ping
pong table . fully-equipped.. If
Stanford .wins,, the dormitory
residents are each to write a card
to the president of the Wood
bury company requesting that
Bing's salary be raised.

Terrorists Arrested ;
Moscow, Dec. if. (UP)
Nine out of twelve terrorists ar
rested at Minsk have been exe
cuted, an official communique
said tonight.

white guards and others round
ed up after the recent assassina
tion of Sergei Maronovich Ki
rov, Leningrad Bolshevik leader.
The Minsk terrorists, like
nearly 100 others executed since
the Kirov shooting, were given

RogersonV Report On Business Organization
(Editor's note: L. B. Roger
son, assistant controller, of. the
University, submitted the follow
ing plan of operations to President
Prank Porter Graham.-It concerns
the business activities of ; the
Chapel Hill branch. The Daily
Tar Heel presents the report in
full to enlighten the campus on
the divisional activities and f unc-i
tions of the business office. An
explanation of this side of the
administration should be espe--eially
interesting in the light of
the recent consolidation of the
three units.)
The organization plan in op
eration at the Chapel Hill branch
of the Greater University di
vides the business activities of
tlie University into , five major
divisions, namely:
1. Finance, covering the f unc-
tjlonal activities of collections,
custody, and disbursement of
funds, and custody of securities.
2. Control, covering the func
tional activities of budget and
Recounting records and control.
3. Purchases and Personnel,
Covering the functional activities
f)f purchasing, stores-keeping,
Personnel control other than fac
ulty, and certification of pay
lolls. ) '
4. Operation and Maintenance
of Physical Plant, covering the
functional activities of additions
and betterments, operation and
maintenance of buildings and
grounds, and direction of gen
eral University services. ' -
5. Operation o f Commercial
and Auxiliary Enterprises, cov
ering the general management
of electric, water, telephone,
laundry, dining . halls, dormi
tories, rental, retail stores, and
other service agencies.1 ;
Each division is headed by an
executive to whom is given suf
ficient responsibility and au-
jt- v
thority to secure proper re
sults. Each division is supplied
with qualified line assistants
who share with the division
heads the responsibilities and
authority necessary to perform
the tasks assigned to them.
The directing and co-ordinat-
ing head of the five major divis
ions is the representative of the
controller the assistant con
troller. To assist him in decid
ing matters of concern to more
than one division is a committee
without authority except to rec
ommend, composed of the heads
of the five major divisions andspeaker,
the managers of the various ser
vice agencies. To advise him in
the management of student-supported
enterprises is a commit
tee composed of three students
appointed by the president of
the student body.
Each division head decides for
all divisions the methods to be
used in the performances of the
functional activities in his
charge. For example, the head
of the control division decides
the kind of records to be kept
at the laundry. Each division
head directs, supervises, and is
responsible for the execution of
the work performed by others in
his division, regardless of the
type of work done ; however, in
the delegation of tasks to the
line members, he holds them res
ponsible for doing their tacks
as outlined by the proper func
tional head. For example, the
head of the division of auxiliary
enterprises holds the superin
tendent of the laundry, and the
superintendent of the laundry

was elected
speaker of the Phi Assembly
for the winter quarter last night
by the vote of 20 to 17 over
Charles Poe, the other candidate
for the speaker's chair.
Robert v Smithwick, retiring
tendered his farewell
address. Wylie Parker was
elected unanimously to succeed
Winthrop Durf ee as speaker pro-
tem. Winthrop Durf ee was
elected unanimously to succeed
Wylie Parker as, sergeant-at-
arms.
Harry McMullan was favored
by the assembly over Raif ord
Douglas Baxley for the position
of reading clerk. A ways and
means committee of Frank Gres-
son Potts McGlinn, chairman,
Albert McAnally, and Raiford
Douglas Baxley was chosen up
on unopposed nomination by
the assembly. - .
For assistant treasurer,
chosen from, the freshman class,
the . assembly elected Billy Sea
well over Drew Martin.
"There will be millions of un
employed even when the de
pression is over, and the govern
ment can't set things aright by
indefinitely paying people -for
refraining from producing the
things we need because it is im
possible to pay them for pro
ducing them," declared Dr. H.
D. Wolf of the school ot com
merce, in an address before the
North Carolina Club here last
night on "Unemployment Insur
ance and Economic Security'
Dr. Wolf then pointed but
that the true remedy is going to
be a strong system of Unemploy
ment insurance. "It is impera
tive," he said, "that we turn
some of our skill and intellect
in technical efficiency toward a
better social arrangement. We
must perfect our economic sys
tem, and to do this we must ap
ply the same principles to our
economic hazards as we do to
our physical hazards.
Behind Rest of World
"We lag far behind the rest
of the civilized world in this,
Dr. Wolf declared. "About 20
countries have unemployment
insurance affecting approximate
ly 50,000,000 workers, while we
have little or none at all. Our
trouble is not that tnere is op
position to the plan, however,
but that there is so much argu
ment over its form."
Dr. Wolf then outlined the
Wisconsin plan and the Ohio
plan as the two outstanding sys
tems advocated in the United
States, and predicted that their

sentatives, in the annual Mary

The senators were setting
forth the affirmative side of the
question: Resolved, That the

sume control of the basic indus
tries in the United States.

Although they disagreed on
the question of control of basic
industries the debaters united in
taking digs at the Daily Tar
Heel, Representative Durfee
wiping his brow, with a red ban
dana to refute the Daily Tar
Heel's statement that the Phi
Assembly trembles, at the sight
of red, and allowing to peep
forth from his coat the corner
of a red tie which he proposed
to put on should a Daily Tar
Heel reporter appear.
Less colorful was Senator
Mullen's, attack on the campus
daily.. In beginning his speech, ,
he stated that "unlike the Daily, '
Tar Heel," the Di Senate is will
ing to allow other people to ex
press their opinions.

Lawyer Recommends
Constitution Change
Washington, Dec. 11. (UP)
The elimination of the consti
tutional right of man to refuse
to incriminate hmself, and
law allowing juries to convict on
a ten to two vote were proposed
tonight by Ferdinand Pecora,
former acting district attorney
of New York county, as two
methods by which criminal
courts may be made more ef
ficient. ' '
Pecora was a speaker at an
evening session oi Attorney
General Homer S. Cumming's
crime conference. He claimed
criminal courts have sometimes
failed in duty where judges were
appointed for political reasons.
He urged the bar associations'
to be vigilant in seeing that on
ly competent men be selected.
