SENATE VOTES DOWN
DEBATE LIMITATION
Washington, Jan. 27. South
ern senators gained ground in
their fight against anti-lynching
legislation when the upper
house of congress voted today
not to make any use of the clo
ture rule, which limits the length
and frequency of debate by one
man.
The vote, 52 to 37, was taken
after both sides had participat
ed in a warm debate. If passed,
the rule would have limited fur
ther speech-making against the
hill to one hour for each senator.
Yesterday, the cloture rule
was proposed in petition by 17
senators, which resulted in its
being voted upon today.
Defeat of the rule means that
the filibuster, which has been
conducted by the southerners
since the first of the session,
will continue indefinitely.
Although sponsors of the anti
lynching legislation would not
agree to drop the bill, opponents
forecast that it would be side
tracked very soon.
CONFESSION OF PAYNE,
TURNER USED IN TRIAL
Asheville, N. C, Jan. 27.
That both Bill Payne and Wash
Turner had confessed to shoot
ing at State Highway Patrolman
George Penn was used as evi
dence in the murder trial today
of the two former convicts.
Sheriff Laurence Brown of
Buncombe county took the stand
today to testify against the de
fendants, who are accused of
fatally shooting the policeman
on a farm road near here last
August.
The sheriff testified that
Payne and Turner, when cap
tured, had admitted shooting at
the patrolman, and later told of
ficers where the guns used in
the killing were hidden.
ROBERT JACKSON NAMED
AS SOLICITOR GENERAL
Washington, Jan. 27. Robert
H. Jackson, assistant' attorney
general, was today nominated
by President Roosevelt to be so
licitor general.
He will take the place of 'Stan
ley F. Reed, of Kentucky, who
received his commission to the
supreme court from the Presi
dent earlier today. '
Jackson, a New Yorker, is
now in charge of anti-trust law
cases. The 46-year-old man has
been successful in several major
cases. Most recent of these was
the conviction of 16 oilcorpora
tions for conspiracy to. fix gas
Prices in 10 mid-western states.

PU Board Rules Number
Needed To Qualify
Voting
Estimate Reduced
The Publications Union board
yesterday set at 800 the number
of votes necessary to qualify the
election to be held soon on a stu
dent radio, station, greatly re
ducing the estimation that 1,550
votes would be necessary.
The board has the authority
to so regulate the election, as the
vote will not impose an addi
tional fee upon students, but
will decide whether $4,000 in
the board's surplus will be used
toward establishing the studio.
Council
The student council, at a
meeting early next week, will set
the date for the campus election.
It is probable, board members
said, that another vote, requir
ing a favorable majority of the
student enrollment to set fees
for operation costs, will be
avoided. It was believed the
board would merely recall 10
cents a quarter of the recent re
fund in the publication fees. The
board has the authority to recall
such a refund at any time.
Studio
If students pass on the studio,
there is a possibility that the
University station will be on the
Dixie network of the Columbia
Broadcasting company. This
possibility rests upon the quality
of programs to be presented.
Radio stations in Charlotte,
Greensboro and Durham have
agreed to allot time to the local
studio' if it is set up. Negotia
tions are also under way with a
station in Raleigh.
The organization of the station
if the proposal is passed, will
consist of a director, elected by
the student body, and a manag
ing director, appointed by the
Publications Union board.
The station would be consid
ered as a fifth publication of the
board.

Dr. Ruark, Creighton Jones Find
New Angle To Theory Ad
vanced By Dr. Jauncey
Upon the basis of recent ex
periments and calculations, Dr.
Arthur Ruark and Creighton
Jones, of the physics depart
ment, have disproved the elec
tronic theory advanced by Dr.
Jauncey of Washington univer
sity in St. Louis.
Dr. Ruark, in a statement
from his office yesterday, ex
plained that "it is known that
when beta particles, or elec
trons, come out from the atoms
of radioactive materials, many
of them have very high energy,
but many others have much less
energy.
"There are excellent grounds
for believing that in every case
the atom gives up the same
amount of energy, so if the elec
tron does not carry it away, it
must escape from the atom in
some form which has not yet
been detected.
"In recent years physicists
have generally assumed that the

WORKERS' RIGHTS
EMPHASIZED BY
UNI0NSPEAKER
Tom Girdler To Speak
. In Memorial Hall
' Monday Night
"I believe that a worker has
as much right as I have to join
anything he wants to join," Tom
Girdler, who speaks in Memo
rial hall Monday night, wrote in
a recent issue of Fortune maga
zine. Girdler wired Alex Heard,
chairman of the Carolina Politi
cal union, yesterday that he
would fly from Cleveland to Ra
leigh Monday, in order to get
here in ample time for his
speech at 8 o'clock that night.
Comment
There has 'been much com
ment and publicity about Gird
ler's stand in regard to the pres
ent labor situation, but probably
one of the best summaries of his
attitude was made in his article,
which he called "Industry and
Labor." From the article we
quote:
"But I do not believe that he
has any more right than I have
to force anyone to join anything.
I do not object to a man's join
ing a union, any kind of a union,
even a CIO union with which I
had a recent unpleasantness.
But I do object to a fellow's try
ing to force all the world to join
this kind of a union.
"I object even more to a labor
leader's attempting to make me
his cat's-paw in forcings men
who work with me to join his
union if they do not want to." r

NUMBER 92
Athletic Plan
Athlete Sch olarship
Requirements Are
Passed
Will Meet" Friday
The University faculty post
poned action on the formulation
of the athletic policy late yester
day afternoon just after discus
sion of regulation number 8, the
subsidization provision, had be
gun. Only one regulation, number
5, concerning student scholar
ship requirements, was actually
passed during the two-hour ses
sion. In a meeting last week
regulations numbers 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 6, were automatically ac
cepted when the group endorsed
the Southern Conference policy.
Requirements
Their adoption of number 5
puts into effect, on September
1, 1939, the following scholastic
requirements for University
students participating in varsity
athletics:
They must have passed dur
ing the three preceding quar
ters, 36 quarter hours of work,
with a grade of C or better on
at least half, or 18 of the hours,
In cases where summer school
or correspondence work is neces
sary in "addition to the three
regular quarters, the number of
hours will be ' increased to 40,
with 20 of. these requiring
grades of C or better.
Regulation number 6 was ta
bled by the faculty, and will
probably be taken up at the next
meeting, which has tentatively
been scheduled for this coming
Friday.
In addition, regulation num
ber 8, on which discussion was
begun yesterday, and numbers 9 .
and 10, will probably also be
brought up at the coming meet
ing. Regulation number 5 differs
