The Student and University parties will meet tomorrow night to pick their choice for Daily Tar Heel editor. Campbell indicated last night that he would consider acceptance of a party nomination if one is offered. Bishop Presides Yesterday's staff meeting climaxed two weeks of subtle yet vigorous cam paigning by both men. Editor Don Bishop presided at the half-hour ses sion. Of anti-climatic interest was the serving of ice cream between dis cussions of the two candidates. Following nominations of Harris and Campbell, Phil Carden made a motion that would require a two-thirds majority to name a staff nominee. Otherwise, a double nomination would be made. Amendment Killed ' An amendment to this motion was proposed to make the staff vote pub- lie, but Columnist Martha tilampitt pointed out that such an amendment would defeat the purpose of the mo tion in that the campus would know the staff favorite despite a double nomination. The amendment was killed and the motion defeated. Harris takes the ' nomination with more than seven years of newspaper experience behind him. He did re portorial work on the New Haven, Conn., Register while attending high school and then went to work on the Daily Tar Heel in September of his See HARRIS, page 4.

E. Brown, AF of L or ganizer and Forest Shuford, head of the state department of labor, discuss ed pressing labor conflicts. Brown declared that strike public ity has been one-sided and criticized newspapers for omitting managerial troubles. He also expressed the view that the CIO and AFofL would eventually be reunited. Strikes Less ''Only 60 per cent as many strikes are in progress now as in 1917," Miss Mason said. She severely criticized the attitude toward labor held by Henry Ford anL Bethlehem "Steel, claiming that in their employ were hundreds of felons and ex-convicts to protect their plants. "Ford has consistently defied the Supreme Court but he still gets gov ernment orders," she asserted. To solve unemployment in the United States calls for a complete overhauling of business, declared Wil liam E. Sweet, former .governor of Colorado and outstanding business man at the morning session.

Extra Session Of Legislature Called Tonight Group Races to Pass Eight Amendment Before Elections Racing to pass eight constitutional amendments in time for ratification by the student 'body on elections day, the student legislature meets tonight at a special session in Phi hall at 9 o'clock.

Nazis Drive Wedge Between Allies Threaten ' Second Dunkirk' in Drive Down Varda Valley By Everett R. Holies (United Press Cables Editor) Germany's Panzer forces, repeating almost identically the tactics used to knock France out of the war, threat ened today (Wednesday) to split the allied Greek and Yugoslav armies apart after already driving an. iron wedge to the Aegean separating Greece from Turkey. The Greek radio, heard in New York, indicated that Germany already might be springing the trap to make Salonika-"another Dunkirk" for the British, and Greek forces battling the Nazis south of the Bulgarian border. The Greeks reported, according to this radio bulletin heard by CBS, that the Germans had pushed "danger i ii. j: 4: r ol ;i uusiy ixi Lite uiiccuuu ui oaiuui&a from the north and had cut off com munications of the Greek and per haps British forces to the east. Greek Flank Open ; Yugoslavia's fierce Serbian fight ers fell back before the drive of the Germans aimed at closing the Varda valley bottleneck just north of Greece and the Greeks, admitting that "un foreseen misfortune" had occurred, found the entire left flank of "their Macedonian army left wide open. - There were reports that the vital Yugoslav town of Scopalje and Nish fifty miles inside Yugoslavia's fron tier with Bulgaria and dominating the Varda valley route to Greek Salonika already had fallen to the German ar mored forces. The Germans, using flame throwers and mountain ' climbing troops were reported driving upon Scopalje but Berlin made no claim to the capture of either that city or Nish farther north. Preliminary Successes Adolf Hitler's wedge-driving stra tegy against the Balkan-allies in hopes of a quick victory appeared to be pro ducing at least preliminary successes on the basis of these developments! ; 1. A smashing Nazi drive westward from Bulgaria toward Scopalje, Nish and perhaps Uskub aimed at seizing See NEWS BRIEFS, page 4. Issues ranging from "should we re peal the Declaration of Independence," to "should we go to war with Ger many," were hotly debated last night in a triangle meet by the Princeton, Carnegie Tech, and Carolina debating teams. The formal question discuss ed was, "Resolved, That the English speaking nations should now form a permanent union both military and economic." Dewey Dorsett of Carolina opened the argument for the affirmative by declaring that we are not isolated from the rest of the world, as shown by the first World War and the pres ent Lend-Lease bill. He said we are a member in a "community of na tions." Defends Issue Elsie Lyon of Carolina stated the advantages of such a union, saying that since we want to win the war, it would be the best way we could do it. In upholding the negative view, Cleo Bateman of Carnegie Tech said the idea of union "wouldn't hold wa ter," because the imperialistic nature of the nations of the world is against it. He said there was not enough "common interest" with Englandto warrant such an alliance. Objects to Union Ted Black of Princeton objected to a union, asking, "what would become See DEBATERS, page 4.
