Price-Boss. Henderson Keeps His Promise, Battles Audience
Administrator
Advocates
40-Hour Week
By Paul Komisaruk
While national labor issues were
heatedly batted back and forth across
the Memorial hall rostrum last night,
America's burly Price-Fixer, Leon
Henderson argued strongly against
opponents of the 40-hour week, and
kept a four month old promise to CPU
head Ridley Whitaker "to come to
to Chapel Hill to argue with someone."
The Price - Administrator, cigar
smoking and smiling, who made a
v special flight in an army plane to
Chapel Hill to deliver the Carolina
Political union's sixth anniversary ad
dress, advanced on the stage of Me
morial hall without benefit of any
prepared script. He delivered a few
pref unctory remarks, and promptly an
nounced that the floor was open to dis
cussion. v
Spectators fired a barrage of ques
tions at the Price-Boss, one in parti
cular demanding to know why labor
should be permitted to continue work
ing a 40-hour week while soldiers were
on call 24-hours a day, seven days a
week.
Henderson replied by explaining
that the 40-hour week law did not re
strict the man-hours of work that labor
engaged in, but provided for over-time
pay for work above 40 hours a week.
He declared that revision of the 40
hour a week law would result "in de
crease in production, for human beings
will not respond to a 10 per cent pay
cut." When spectators complained
that the argument was not one of
wages, Henderson quoted England's
Lord Beaverbrook as stating that
"England found after the first big
push that the ideal work week was be
tween 46 and 54 hours a week depend
ing on the pressure. That's what we
are averaging in working hours," Hen
derson declared.
Henderson admitted that wages for

Kaufman and Hart crammed

with one laugh after another and the
Playmaker production of that Broad

out every one of them.
Earl Wynn outdid his own directing
job with the "Male Animal" by de
veloping, even on opening night, each
situation to its utmost and instructing
his adequate cast to plop their gags
right into the lap of the audience.
With a small but receptive preview
audience to goad them on, the cast
presented the hilarious angle of what
happens when a city family buys a
country place in order to expand, and
commune with nature.
Hub of all this chaos was Art Gol

life domain. Golby set up lines for
Elizabeth Trotman, his wife, as Mrs.
Fuller, and they played off against
each other smoothly.

Three Proposals
Presented Seniors
On Ballot Today
Faced with the disposition of $1,375,
senior class members will vote today
on three proposals for spending the
surplus, Bill McKinnon, class presi
dent, announced.
Seniors are to cast a ballot for one
of the following three proposals at a
meeting of the officers and executive
committee of the class:
1. Buy defense bonds to be set up
as a loan fund upon maturity in the
name of the class, preference in loans
to be given to sons and daughters of
members of the class.
2. Give half to the NYA and half
to the Eed Cross.
3. Refund the money.
To be given as part of the class
gift, the plan for buying bonds was
endorsed by the officers and executive
committee. The surplus of $1,375 was
left from the dance appropriation al
lotment after the legislature cut
dance expenditures to $750.
Seniors are also to vote on six
dance leaders to be in the figure of
the Junior-Senior dance set.

Town Board
Places Curfew
On Beer Sales
By Hayden Carruth
Despite current rumors to the con
trary, the local regulation restricting
the sale of beer and wine after 12
o'clock midnight did not stem from
the University administration and
was not inspired by the inauguration
of the Naval Air Cadet training pro
gram. Cradled in the Chapel Hill Board of
Aldermen, the ruling went into effect
last Friday night, and "will remain
law until it is proven ineffective or
unadvisable."
Disorder Traced
Mayor John M. Foushee said yes
terday afternoon that "the ruling was
passed by the Aldermen after Chief
of Police W. T. Sloan had reported
several cases of misconduct. The dis
order was directly traced to the late
sale of beer."
"There has been no increase in the
cases of student drunkenness," Chief
Sloan said yesterday. "There have
always been a small group of students
who are disorderly and drunken at
night. We felt that the time had come
to stop such conduct, if possible, and
merely imitated the state of Virginia
and several other North Carolina com
munities by our action."
The law prohibits the sale of beer
and wine within the limits of the
town of Chapel Hill from 12 o'clock
midnight until 6 o'clock the next
morning.
"Merritt's Service Station, Brady's,
and the Palms have agreed to cooper
ate with the Board of Aldermen in
this matter, although they are not
located within the town limits," Chief
Sloan reported.
"This measure was enacted as an
experimental provision," Mayor Fou
shee said. "If it is not effective, or
for any other reason does not seem
advisable, it will be repealed," he
said.
Chief Sloan revealed yesterday that
many of the town merchants who sell
beer agreed that the measure should
be approved. The plan was presented
to several local merchants prior to its
consideration by the Aldermen and
"almost all" expressed approval of the
proposal.
