On Thursday, Harry Comer received word from Dr. Graham that three members of the War Labor Board, Robert Watt, Wayne Morse and Al Roth, would accompany him to Chapel Hill to take part in the discus sion of the vital labor problem. Yesterday's telegram from Washington cancelling the plans stated, "All members of War Labor Board needed to continue in session Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I therefore cannot spend my regular weekly days in Chapel Hill. Morse, Watt and Roth join in this regret. Deeply regret. Best wishes." Meeting Comer immediately called a meeting of IHR co-chairman Frances Allison and Bob Hoke and late yesterday afternoon announced that he would try to schedule the labor discussion for some later date. "If this WLB matter is im perative enough to necessitate Sunday session, I doubt if the board members will be able to get away for some weeks," said Comer. "But the discussion of labor's place in winning the war and insuring the peace is so im portant to a complete coverage of the 'Total Victory and Global Peace,' that we decided to ask the men to come down at some other time, even if it doesn't come within the IHR span of April 8-16." Later Date "Possible scheduling of the la bor panel at a date after the close of the regular Institute would be the second such action taken in order to "bring to the campus speakers whose value was such that the time factor had to be ignored." This is the first casualty in the Institute's program this year. It leaves Clarence Dyk stra's first Weil lecture as the only Monday event in the other wise crowded nine-day program. Regional Director Gives First Facts On Service Exams The qualifying examination for civilians given throughout the United States April 2 for the Army and Navy College Training Program seems to have gone off very satisfactorily, according to reports received by Dr. Edgar W. Knight, Regional Director for the states of Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee. About 50,000 copies of the test were distributed in that region, and more than half a million in the country as a whole, he said. The test papers for this region are daily being received at the office of the regional director and the scoring of the tests has already begun under the super vision of the University's Test ing Bureau, with Richard W. Gaylord in charge. Reports must be made to the Army and Navy authorities by April 16. Results of the tests cannot be furnished by the regional direct ors to candidates of their schools, Dr. Knight said.
