The first time I walked into the place there was a boy on the table nearest the front getting a rubdown. Another boy was soaking his feet in the middle of the room. A third was telling Mrs. McAllister, the nurse, about the blisters on his feet. Wandering into the bath room I found two more boys, one sitting on a chair in the bath tub soaking his feet and the other sitting on a high chair like a life-guard's with his leg encased in a long funnel-like contriv ance. Mrs. McAllister explained that the i unneWike machine was a sort of mini ature whirlpool.

The State department announced the message to Hirohito but would not disclose confidences. Authoritative quarters, however, described it as an appeal to the Emperor over the heads of the Tokyo cabinet to prevent a Far Eastern explosion. Simultaneously the department said it had received reports of the presence of 125,000 troops in Indo-China, con trary to Tokyo reports that the num ber of troops there were "exaggerat ed." The department said it also had re ports maintaining that two large Jap anese convoys had been seen this morning steaming westward past Ca meau in Indo-China toward the Gulf of Siam. TOKYO Japan indicated early to day that she stands on the verge of abandoning effort to achieve settle ment, oilhe Pacific crisis by derma tic negotiations at Washington.

Bradshaw Bradshaw to Lead IRC Discussion On National Unity Carolina's initial, hardest-hitting, verbal analysis of the civilian morale question will emanate from Gerrard hall's platform Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. The International Relations club will bring together five Universi ty professors whose knowledge and opinions of need for national unity will be voiced before a student audi ence. Bradshaw to Lead Dean of Students F. F. Bradshaw will lead IRC's panel, including W. T. Couch, L. O. Kattsoff, H. K. Beale and E. E. Ericson, in the powerfully dis puted thesis, "What Price National Unity?" Past reactions of these men to similar questions indicate that in their two-fisted debate the panel will examine the civilian morale question with hard facts and reveal its weak nesses and strength with heretofore unseen clarity. Is national unity a means for prop aganda? Should the Nyes and the Lindberghs be shut up? Are the fig ures behind Civilian Morale impartial individuals? What happens to civil rights under such programs? Those questions will not meet mere yes-no responses from the faculty forum, but will see penetrating dissection that will lead to the Big Questions of American war participation and inter national democratic alliances.

Worley Joins US Air Corps Union Director Leaves UNC Tuesday By Mike Beam Fish Worley, the master of Graham Memorial who in the past two years has brought more concentrated enjoy ment to the campus than any other single factor will leave Tuesday to join the United States Army Air Corps. Breaking all precedent to present the best in entertainment was the self-evident policy of Fish and his capable assistants. Assuming his office of Director of Graham Memorial in the summer of 1940, Fish immediately introduced old fashioned square dancing into the cur riculum of student activities. Since then, the Worley Square dances have continued to furnish an inexhaustible source of entertainment for Carolina students. Again he turned tables on tradition to crash the dance floor of the ex clusive Waldorf-Astoria in New York City to call one of his Hill-billy shin digs on the ballroom floor. There seemed to be no limits to his ingenuity. Last spring, after deciding that a suitable social gathering center for date-time was lacking on the cam pus, the first Carolina night club, com plete with cover charge and orchestra was opened in the basement of the Grill under the direction of the ver satile Fish Worley. Not contented with this, Fish was also the force behind the new game room in Alexander dorm, the weekly football clinics, the popular waltz nights, the fireside concerts, highly successful Sadie Hawkins days, and many other features.
