recovery by working together.
Gains achieved in the past must be
maintained and consolidated.

must be remedied.
Our economy will fare better if
private funds are put to work at a
fair profit.

steady upward incline in national in

High In
Of CIO
Former Chairman
Frank McGlinn
Introduces Speaker
By David Stick
"The only reason the Committee for
Industrial Organization has grown is
because the working men in this great
country of ours want it," CIO leader
Philip Murray told 700 persons gath
ered in Memorial hall last night.
The Carolina Political union speak
er said that the CIO is organized "to
give men and women and children of
the working class a better chance in
life. And any institution organized
for that purpose," he added, "isn't a
bad institution, despite what its rivals
might say about it."
Murray was Introduced by former
CPU chairman Frank McGlinn, who
in turn was introduced by this year's
union chairman Alex Heard. This
was McGlinn's first local public ap
pearance since his graduation last
spring, and at the same time it was
the first meeting of the three men
who between them started and then
guided the CPU on its way to nation
wide prominence. Present last night,
in addition to Heard and McGlinn,
was Floyd Fletcher, the CPU's first
chairman.
Fletcher served as the union's head
during its first few months and then
turned the job over to McGlinn.
Record
In speaking of the work of the CIO
and the Steel Worker's Organizing
committee, he said, "The record we
have maintained is of the kind cal
culated to win friends rather than to
lose friends."
Some of Murray's most interesting
statements' were made during the open
forum discussion which followed his
regular' address. In response to a
question regarding the relationship of

75 HIGH SCHOOLS
GET INVITATIONS
TO INSTITUTE
Meeting Will Be
Held Here On
April 29, 30
Over 75 North Carolina high
schools have been issued invitations
to attend the second annual meeting
of the North Carolina Scholastic
Press institute which will be held
here April 29 and 30 under the aus
pices of the Daily Tar Heel.
Institute Director David Stick said
yesterday that this figure represents
an increase of approximately 50 over
the number of invitations sent out last
year by Stuart Rabb, who planned
and directed the first meeting of the
high school journalists.
Restrictions
There were no restrictions govern
ing the number of delegates last year
and consequently some of the 14
schools represented at that time sent
as many as eight delegates. Approxi
mately 45 students attended the two-
day meeting at that time.
In order to make possible a wider
representation at the second annual
meeting each school will be limited
to three regular delegates and a fac
ulty adviser. The first letters were
sent out during the latter part of last
week and already five schools have
expressed the intention of sending
full delegations.
"Better"
Thus with 20 delegates already as
sured and more letters piling in every
day Stick feels that the second annual
meeting of the NCSPI can't keep from
being larger, and consequently better,
han the meeting which was held here
as an experiment last year.
In order to keep the various schools
posted as to how plans for the meet
ing are developing, bulletins are being
sent out at intervals. The first
group was mailed yesterday; present
plans call for sending out the second
group early next week.
Included in the bulletins is infor
mation regarding the tentative sched
ule and expenses of the institute, as
well as a considerable number of sug
gestions to help delegates who are
planning to come to Chapel Hill April
29 and 30.
Stick said that he has received a
considerable amount of local coopera-
ion in making arrangements for the
meeting. At a meeting last Thursday
the Graham Memorial board of direc
tors agreed to give a banquet for the
delegates. Graham Memorial Man
ager Pete Ivey had already turned
over the meeting rooms on the second
floor of the union for institute head
quarters. Among the other organiza
tions which have either helped already
or have agreed to give assistance in
the future are the University club,
Miss Tempe Newsome and the YMCA
office, Russell Grumman and the ex
tension division, Roy Armstrong and
the office of Pre-College Guidance.

"Carolina's Pride"
- Ready For First.
Swimmers, 3 O'clock
By Charles Barrett
An era of a pool-less University
will be ended this afternoon at 3
o'clock when the first thrilled coed
plunges into the blue-green waters of
Bowman Gray Memorial swimming
pool.
Forty-five minutes later the South's
largest natatorium will be available,
for some 1,100 males who have passed
necessary physical examinations. The
300 earliest arrivers will have 45 min
utes to enjoy their dip after which
they must make room for another set.
Other periods for men will begin at
4:30 and 5;15.
Tonight from 7:30 to 8:30 the
"Pride of Carolina" will be open for
mixed swimming.
Today is the last day this week stu
dents may receive the physical exami
nation necessary before they may use
the pool. University physicians will
give the tests in room 302 in the new
gymnasium.
Procedure outlined by the depart
ment of physical education and ath
letics for use of the pool is as follows:
(1) Present swimming privilege
card to student attendant at stock
room window where your basket is
located. The numbers of the baskets
will be located above each window.
(2) The attendant, in return for the
swimming privilege card, will give the
bearer a basket including a lock at
tached, clean towel, and swimming
trunks. The student may then take
any locker he desires in the main
locker room where he is to deposit
his civilian clothes and don his trunks.
The lock is to be attached to the
locker and locked.
(The attendants wTould greatly ap
preciate it if ach student would be
sure and memorize his lock combina
tion, as the privilege card with the
combination on it will be left with
the attendant at the stock window
during the student's swim.)
(3) The student must take a shower
before entering the pool. ,
(4) After the student has finished
swimming, he is to' return to his
locker and dress. Before leaving the
main locker room he must return to
the attendant in the stock room with
his basket, combination lock attached,
towel and trunks. It is the responsi
bility of every student to see that
these articles are returned and if not
he will be subject to fine. In return
for the basket and its contents, the
student will have his swimming privi
lege card returned to him.
This procedure will be the same for
women, . except an attendant will be
on hand to check any valuables. Bath
ing caps will not be provided by the
University.

the Hillel f oundation yesterday urged
