Mexico's Padilla To Explain US Mission
Hunt Hobbs
Hobbs Drops
From Race
ForTan'F
Withdrawal Due
To Academic Load;
Gleicher in Race
The second withdrawal of the year
shattered party and publications cen
ters yesterday, when Hunt Hobbs,
Student party nominee for the Tar an'
Feathers editorship, dropped from the
political arena.
Hobbs, who was appointed to the
editorship by the Publications Union
board in December to replace Bill See
man, gave, as his reason for with
drawal, "lack of time and the decision
to expend a major part of my energy
in scholastic work next year." -
Hobbs, under a new system estab
lished this year, will continue in the
editor's chair until the end of the
spring quarter, editing two more is
sues of the magazine.
Having dropped from the field,
Hobbs leaves Stud Gleicher, Univer
sity party nominee, the only candidate
for the position. However, leaders last
night indicated that the' Student par
ty will nominate another candidate to
replace Hobbs.
"I have learned from the firm with
which I hope to be employed after
graduation that several courses more
than I had expected will be required,"
said Hobbs last night. He withdrew
after conferences with Student party
officials.
The two more issues of Tar an' Fea
thers yet to be edited will appear in
April and May, with the March issue
about to go to press.
Envoy Speaks Here Tomorrow;
Trip Indicates Oil Settlement
Indications that Mexico's anti-Axis Foreign Minister, the uncompromising
Ezequiel Padilla, would explain his sudden and unexpected trip to the United
States in his Gerrard hall speech tomorrow night, spread yesterday, as Jo
sephus Daniels and University officials concluded arrangements for the famed
ministers visit.
Padilla's arrival in this country last Saturday was widely heralded,- as
news sources throughout the country declared that he had arrived to finally
settle the US-Mexican oil dispute. Re
fusals of the State department to deny
these persistent rumors, strengthened
the arguments of those familiar with
the long and bitter dispute.
Guest of Daniels
A weekend guest of the former Am
bassador to Mexico, Josephus Daniels,
Padilla will be presented to a Chapel
Hill audience tomorrow night at 8
o'clock in Gerrard hall by Daniels.
The 40-year-old diplomat who made
history at the Rio conference short
months ago has received an unusual
amoun of favorable publicity since his
anti-Axis stand helped cement the con
ference liberal forces.
Refused Compromise
Padilla announced that he would
"absolutely refuse" any compromise
plan, particularly the reported Argen
tine proposal under which each nation
would be left free to break with the
Axis when it saw fit.
When conferees moved towards a
showdown on vital issues, Padilla help
ed push the 100 odd resolutions and
projects through the secretariat
resolutions that spelled doom for Axis
interests at the conference.
A Mexican proposal for joint adher
ence to the Atlantic Charter was pass
ed largely through his efforts. Simi
larly a Mexican proposal for the ex
tension of the status of non-belligerency
to all nations fighting the Axis
was adopted.
UNC-Johns Hopkins
To Debate Tonight
The student members of Carolina's
Debate council and squad will meet
a team from Johns Hopkins Univer
sity tonight.
Carrington Gretter, council presi
dent, said yesterday that the contest
will be staged at 8 o'clock in the
main lounge of Graham Memorial.
Names of UNC and Johns Hopkins
team members have not yet been
received.

Durham Company
Makes Contract
For Dorm Cleaning
Chapel Hill cleaners yesterday
bluntly refused either to arbitrate or
meet the dormitory managers' demands
for restoration of twenty five per cent
profits and free, cleaning. As a result
all cleaning collected in the mens' dor
mitories will automatically be sent to
Johnson-Prevost Cleaners in Durham.
The Johnson-Prevost offer, expect
ed to be sealed by a written contract,
is daily delivery, with old profits and
gratis cleaning ; re-established. Al
though an effort was "made to have
Johnson-Prevost reset the retail prices
that were in effect in Chapel Hill be
fore March 16 the company felt that
this could not be done for the time
being.
All women's dormitories, fraterni
ties and sororities are being contact
ed, and dorm leaders expected that
they too will join in the campus move
ment of boycotting Chapel Hill clean
ers. It was today stated, however, that
Johnson-Prevost could cater only to
the men's dormitories trade until after
the Easter rush because they lack the
facilities to handle such "a tremendous
increase in business. After that time

jobs to play for the dance gratis. Bill
