Yesterday the Johnson-Prevost Cleaners in Durham, was con tacted, and it has unofficially agreed to make two deliveries per day, one in the early-morning and the other late in the afternoon, and to operate on the price system in effect in Chapel Hill before March 16. A committee was appointed by the dorm managers to contact all fraternity houses and women's dormitories in an attempt to join them in a united front against the Chapel Hill cleaners. If this movement is successful, it will mean that Chapel Hill cleaners will lose approximately 50 to 75 per cent of their total cleaning volume. Said Mr. C. M. Smith, head of Smith-Pre-vost Cleaners, in answer to this threat, "We can operate at full capacity withy out dormitory business. I can lose the women's and men's dormitories and all the fraternity houses and still make a good living." When questioned about the present condition of cleaning equipment, Smith, the only cleaners spokesman present, declared, "We are all fixed pretty well. Our chief trouble is that we just can't get the help we need because many employees are getting jobs in defense industries." Smith's answer to th "f ree cleaning for-managers" was, "I flatly believe we will never go back to free cleaning, even after the war. I would rather give my agents a 50 per cent profit than reestablish this." Another dorm manager declared that he understood the previously fixed price to be on a yearly basis, and said, "I think the stinking trick was that the cleaners didn't let us help thrash out the problem." " " - A possible plan of mediation may be to allow the new prices without free cleaning to remain but to reestablish the old profits.

Each predicts that the other will pull smooth legal tricks during the course of hearings now scheduled. Ironic is the fact that Rollins and Carolina attorneys are now working harmoniously with the will's executors to push the Ackland relatives, the orig- inal suitors, out of the picture, so that Rollins and Carolina can go. to work fighting against each other. All three factions are fighting for a tidy sum estimated at $1,395,399. Much of the money is in cash, some has been invested by Edson Olds, executor of the estate, in US war bonds and the rest is in the form of "unquestionably valuable" securities.
